FOR
5000 RECRUITS
BEARING FRUIT
Captain Harrell Proposes to
Enlist 1000 Men a Month.
Before Next Call

The special drive being made by
the local army recruiting headquar-
ters for the enlistment of five thou
sand recruits during the next three
months In the Harrisburg district,
is bearing substantial results. This
is big undertaking, and means that
to attain the goal almost 1000 men
must be enlisted each month. Dur
ing the past several months the re-
cruits have passed 1000 per month,
but in no one month have 100 men
been enlisted. Yesterdays report
shows that forty-siX recruits were
received-an excellent showing for
the day.
If Captain Harrells plan is sue
cessful. the city of Harrisburg will
be freed from participation in the
second draft, which is expected
about the first of the new year. Not
only will this city be freed from
sending men in the next draft, but
all of the cities and counties within
the district will be recognized as
having filled their quota. In the first
draft, Harrisburg and Lancaster
were the only cities exempted, both
cities having secured more than the
required number of recruits.
Sergeant John X. Blake, of the
Allentown recruiting station, has
been placed at the head of a travel
ing publicity bureau, and has already
taken up his new duties. Sergeant
Blake will tour the entire district.
He is n forceful speaker and is con-
sidered one of the best recruiting
men in this section.

Placed at the distance of the nearest star our largest telescopes would fail to reveal the existence of Jupiter, the largest of all planets.
 To form some idea of the relative distances of the planets from the sun let us consider the time that it takes a ray of sunlight to reach each of the planetary orbits travelling outward from the sun at a speed of 186, 900 miles per second. Three minutes af- ter leaving htseun it crosses the or bit of Mercury, at the end of six min utes it passes the orbit of Venus, eight and a fraction minutes it requires to reach the earth's orbit, and nearly thirteen minutes after it left the sun it arrives at the orbit of Mars. Darting into the vast emptiness of space be- yond Mars orbit it travels fully thirty minutes longer before it comes to Sat urn's orbit. It takes two and a half hours for this ray of sunlight to reach the orbit of Urdanus. More than four hours after the time it started it f1n-

Saturn, next beyond Jupiter, is not ed for his wonderful system of con- centric rings composed of countless tiny moonlets and his large satellite family of ten moons besides. Titan. the largest, has diameter of $500 miles, which places it between Mer- cury and Mars in size. Saturn is al- so noted for the fact that his, density is less than water. He is the only planet in the solar system that would float in water. .s
 It is almost impossible for the hu- man mind to grasp the immensity of this solar system of ours and realize as we'll that even the solar system is but one of millions of systems that go to form the stellar universe.
 If we should try to represent our solar system to scale and should choose for the sun globe two and a half feet in diameter, Jupiter would be a ball three inches in diameter. Saturn would be a little over two and a half inches in diamater, Uranus and Neptune balls of nearly equal size a little more than one inch in diame- ter, Uranus exceeding Neptune in di- ameter by about one-tenth of an inch, while the terrestrial group would ap- pear insignificant beside these larger

The trial of the suit brought by Leopold Weiss, a local real estate dealer, against David N.

 Attorney Cohn said he acted on be- half of Armstrong. who owned the plot. He said the property could be purchased for $135,0o0 if $25,o00 cash were paid down and for $145,000 If only, s5.00O were paid in cash. The Levine brothers. for whom Weiss was acting. did not want the property on these terms SC Armstrong later sold it to Samuel Silver for $140,0O0. Weiss wants sz.1e0, commission.

 The periods of revolution of the planets differ widely as their masses and distances from the sun. In eighty eight days Mercury completes his rap i'd tourney Venus requires seven and one-half months, Mars 6S7 days. Twelve years pass by, however, before Jupiter completes his circuit. Saturn requires twenty-nine and one-half years, Uranus eighty-four years, and nearly 165 years must elapse before Neptune sweeps entirely around his mighty path through the heavens N Y Mail

GET READY NOW FOR
RAISING FALL CHICKENS
Use Only Best Birds for Breeding
Proper Selection Means Improve
ment of Flock.

Many poultry raisers report that
they do not have as much success
with their fall Matched chickens as
with their spring matches.
1.-THE reason for this" says A. y.
Rolf, Livestock Extension Service, L.
s. o.. "is that the fall is not nat
ural breeding season, and because the
breeding stock will have just finished
moulting. The mOulting process IS
quite a drain on the vitality OF a
bird. Any hen that is weak constltu'
tionally will be in poor physical
condition for several weeks after COM
pleting the moult, and any ehickens
produced from such hen will show
an inherent weakness. The way 10
overcome large part Of the trouble
with fall Matched chicks is to breed
only from physically strong, selected
birds.
"The vigorous and healthy bird has
large bone, comparatively short
stout head and beak; bright, full
eye; a firm red comb; a wide back;
full, deep breast; a glossy, close
fitting coat of feathers, and straight
legs, set well apart. Discard the
birds that do not show all these points
of vigor, and from the remainder Sc
lect those that have suitable color
and shape.
"The breeding pen should consist
Of the best male and the smallest
number of hers that will give the re
CURED number of eggs for Matching
Use only the best, and be that much
nearer to success.
Mass breeding means rapid deter
ioration. proper selection means i'm
provement."

GIVE POULTRY PLENTY
OF PURE WATER

Water is very important part Of
The ration required by poultry. The
body Of an average mature hen con-
tains about IS per cent water. An
egg is about Is per cent water. All
feed consumed by poultry must be
softened by water to prepare it for the
digestive process. Blood is composed
very largely of water, which serves
to carry red and white corpuscles to
the different parts Of the. body to
nourish the needy tissues and elimi-
nate waste products. Water is just as
important and valuable as feed in
maintaining the body health of the hen
and as factor in the maximum pro.
duction Of eggs.
Supplying water once or twice a day
Is not sufficient. Pure, fresh water
should be available to poultry at all
times. 1t serves not only the purposes
mentioned, but to lower the body tenn
system Of evaporation through the
breathing organs which is the cause
of hens holding their mouth open and
breathing rapidly on a hot day. The
faster they breathe the more rapid
is the evaporation through the lungs
and the lower is the body tempera-
ture
The average flock Of one hundred
hens will use about five gallons Of
water daily during the hot season.
Considering both the present prices
Of feed and the relative value Of feed
and water in the ration water has a
feeding value of about twenty cents a
gallon. AS water costs practically
nothing, there is no excuse for neg
lecting this very important factor in
feeding poultry.-A. F. Rolf, Live
Stock Extension Service, Louisiana
State University.

FILTHY HOG WALLOWS
SPREAD DISEASE

Louisiana club boys are encouraged
to construct wooden or concrete wal
lows for their pigs and to keep them
in a reasonably clean condition. These
are made by digging a shallow hole,
big enough for the pigs to lie In, US.
ing concrete for tlss sides and bottom
and plastering 1t onto the earth. II ia
good plan also to put in drain so
that the water may be readily chang
ed. The hogs thereby have access to
plenty of good water during the hot
summer months, which is essential to
thrifty condition, without having "a
use the muddy and filthy wallow holes
that are so common over the country
and which are often the means OF
spreading contagious diseases, espe.
! cially cholera,
In addition to making hogs more
comfortable, these wallows can be uset
to rid them of lice and fieas. To dc
this, cover the surface of the water
with about half an inch of crude oil
When the pigs go into the water the,
will become covered with oil and the
yermin will be killed.-W. H. Balls
