Now the question as to whether we
shall grasp few millions OF booze
money by saving at the spigot and
wasting at the bung has become a ma
tional question under the pressure OF
terrible emergency and the same ex-
ploded arguments are being raised.
The fight to save food stuffs and
save men is not over in congress. In
fact II looks as tho it had but begun.
The proposition to save corn and other
grains and sugar and the foodstuffs
destroyed in beer and booze making
has not downed. What essential differ
ence exists between running the gov
eminent of the nation and that of the
state or the city except that Of vol
ume? If the cities that have abolished
liquor have prospered because of their
act in money and in men and in
strength to carry public burdens who
shall sensibly and sincerely agree with
the ancient sophism and untruth that
have been disproved in every commun-
ity where the test has been made?
Let's try it nationally as we have
tested it in communities. Where shall
we get the money? In the same places
that the communities found il dou bled

GARDENS AND VACANT LOTS.

The gardens of Iowa are innumera :
BILE illustrations of what agitation of a
real movement can and does do. There
are few vacant lots not under cultiva
ton, comparatively very few. Thous-
ands of men are making gardens and
planting cellar vegetables this year
who have always depended upon the
markets and truck raisers. II the add
ed wealth that is growing in the gar
dens were totalled it might pay Iowa's
share of the liberty loan for it is an
astonishing quantity,
And yet ii is only common thrift
when all is said and done. What We are
doing under pressure this year We
should have been doing ali the while ev-
cry year. Gardening is healthful and
profitable When health and profit
come together an ideal conditions is
created. Also this movement this years
is educative The man who realizes how
much he has saved in his pocket from
his pleasant labor in his garden is like
ly TO keep on next year and the year
after and perhaps the rest Of his life
II isn't too late to make garden. IN
fact il is the ideal time TO plant. It is
an excellent time to plant potatoes and
indeed all cellar vegetables. There are
Still few vacant lots that should be
under cultivation and still few men
who are going to need the product Of
those lots badly before next spring and
who ought TO be working them.

IOWA CAN BUY WAR BONDS.

4 bankers convention was held in
Marshalltown Thursday at which the
all absorbing topic for discussion vas
the liberty loan and the patriotic ne
cess!ty FOR subscribing Iowas per
capita portion OF two billion dollar
bond issue Is approximately S+5 100000,
but II the apportionment were made on
basis Of wealth Iowa's share would
be double that amount.
Forty-tve millions is merely an in
cident in the total wealth that war IS
going TO bring TO Iowa We have
fifty millions increased value in our
hog crop alone Hogs in Iowa were
valued at So, 34e. 600 in 1915. The price
has jumped from 5000 TO $3.50 or SO
per cent. The same number Of hogs
this year are worth a round fifty mill
lions more than they were last year.
We can put our war profits on hogs
into government bonds at 51a per cent
interest non taxable.
And then we will have plenty of
money left. Corn is selling close TO
81 30, which was considered high last
year at 70 cents Add 10 cents in
creased war profit to 1925, 900 bush
els Of corn raised in Iowa in one crop
and we have three hundred millions OF
war profits coming TO Iowa on corn
alone.
After corn and hogs come cattle.
Iowa owned 1856 POI 900 worth of cat
tie last year and owns more head this
year but cattle have gone up in price
fully one-rhird Credit sixty millions
more war profits in cattle from which
to invest IN war bonds.
Oh the banks of Iowa need not fear
to underwrite the entire issue of liberty

THE MOOCHBR.

A big, hulking bum walked into Nc
Mllllns restaurant the other day, when
the tables and lunch counter were
crowded with customers who pay for
their food, and asked one Of the girls
IF she would give him something to eat.
The reply he got convinced him that
there were no free handouts for buns
around that food dispensary and he
slouched out. The impotence OF those
scoundrels is beyond comprehension.
To ask for free food when there Is
wall for labor going up all over the
country and a chance to work at good
wages in every town, is nothing short
Of a crime IN war times. Any person
who feeds a tramp nowadays without
making the brute pay for II. in ad-
vance. by doing plenty Of work for It,
should be arrested and fined, the fine
to go to the Red Cross society or some
other war relief fund.

Mack Mems Misplays
Revive Red SOx Hopes;
Jack Barry Is Happy

Philadelphia, Sept. Z. Jack
Barry's undetermined band of World
Champs, who still figure they have
n Boston chance" of coping the
much-coveted rag in the Johnson
circuit, took good advantage of the
three errors accredited to the Mack
ian forces yesterday and inf conse-
qucnces won the second game of
their final series in Philadelphia by
a score of to l. Every one of the
alien runs, however, bore tainted
aspect, as both Schauer and Myers,
who relieved him in the fourth in
ming, twirled the brand of ball that
usually gains pitchers victory.
The sweet and familiar little play
let, entitled How the Mackmen
Lost" was enacted early in the con-
test yesterday. A brief synopsis Of
the skit which resulted so forlornly
for the home gang follows: The SoX

An Even Break Gives
Phils Little Glory;
Giants Take Second

New York, Sept. Open wireless
to Philly There is little hope. The
best your boys could do to-day was
to split pair of games with my Joe
Dandies. (Signed) Pa Knicker-
booker"
If the Phillies woke up yesterday
morning still yearning for the very
best in pennant fortunes, that hope
was nicked right straight on the
chin-chin when the Giants took the
second game of the double-header by
a score of to 0, after the stubborn
Phils had sCooped in the first with Il
count of to to their credit, their
first victory on the Polo Grounds
since July /, 1916, after ten straight
defeats.
Jim Lavender held the Giants to "a
brace of tallies in the first, while his
teammates were extremely busy with
their pet drivers against the shoots
of Rube Benton. A full-grown mans
whack from Cravaths club landed
in the right field stand for a home
run in the fifth, Just after two runs
had been chalked up for the Phillies
as result of some weird and woolly
chucks hither and thither by the
Giant intield.
1t was u different story in the sec
ond game, q very different tale, in
deed. Poll Perritt winged them
across in the latter game, and the
Phil fence-busters were as putty IN
his hands. To add to Polls complete
comfort the Phillies adopted the
Giants early game technique and
booted any chance that Mayer might
have had to win his game. Poll
was nudged for eight hits, but never
a one when the red flag was up.

Hogging Down Corn
Is Often Profitable

Hogging down corn is one of the
cheapest methods OF harvesting this
crop, provided the necessary hogs are
available. With labor at a premium
and pork touching the twenty-dollar
mark, this method of converting corn
into pork should prove profitable on
the majority of farms this year, says
L. p. McCann, of the Pennsylvania
state College School of Agriculture
and Experiment Station.
While the hogs are on the corn they
must have supplementary protein
feeds. Protein can best be supplied
by feeding about 0.3 pound of tank
age. The pigs should be allowed to
range between the corn and pasture.
Best results are ordinarily secured
from pigs averaging to 100 pounds
in weight at the time they are placed
be turned on an acre will depend up
on the thickness of the corn or it's
yield per acre. However, an acre Of
average corn should maintain Is to
20 pigs of the weights indicated for
thirty days. In order to prevent waste
it is better to have too many pigs per
acre than not enough.
When a large amount of corn is to
be harvested in this way. it should
be divided into small plots by means
of temporary wire fences. AS the
fattening hogs are changed from one
plot to another, they can be follow
ed by brood sows and smaller pigs.
The sows and pigs will pick up corn
that otherwise would be wasted.

Sanitation Is Necessary
to Avoid Brown Rot

The roting of peaches and blums as
they begin to ripen is caused by fun
gous disease known as brown rot.
Soft, brown spots appear on the
fruit, frequently spreading until the
whole fruit becomes. rotten. At var
ious times during the year, also. twigs
leaVes and flowers may be attacked
ana exhibit discolored leaves.
Spraying aids materially in control
ling brown rot, but 1t should be prac-
tieed throughout the season to be eff
Pennsylvania State College School OF
Agriculture and Experiment Station.
Now is also the time to consider the
sanitary measures which are impor-
tant in controlling the disease.
Rotten fruits should be gathered
and destroyed. If no attention is paid
to them some may shrivel up or be-
come mummied. In this condition
they tend to cling to the trees in
definitely, even during the entire
winter period. They give the tree an
unsightly appearance after the leaves
have fallen. Both these fruits and
others which fall to the ground and
are tramped. spread the disease the
following season.
All mummied fruits, fallen leaves
and twigs should be removed from the
vicinity of the trees and destroyed
While this may be done later. there Is
no time like the present. In any case,

BASEBALLLID
IS NEAR: CLOSE
Local Teams, With Three Ex-
ccr"ons, Have Quit; Fans
Clamor For Game

Indications are that baseball will
be a scarce article in Harrisburg and
vicinity until next season. Local man
ayers are finding it difficult to hold
their players. The Company 1 and
Firemen and Enginemen and Mon
arch teams are still intact, but cannot
get games. Newport, champions, of
the Dauphin- Perry eLague, has quit
for the season.
Steelton players are down to hard
work. Some have gone on vacation.
Manager Shorty Miller might be able
to pick team but interest is low in
the busy town. There is a. loud and
long clamor for the popular leader to
start something in football.
Reasons advanced for the sudden
blow-up of interest in baseball is that
players who have been busy all sea-
son and are likely to be called to the
service of Uncle Sam in the very near
future. are. seeking some recreation
before taking up army duties.
Many college boys who have been
in the game are enjoying a short
rest prior to taking up their studies.
There are many fans in Harrisburg
and vicinity who would like to see
baseball played Saturday afternoons
as long as weather permits. The Sat
urday half-holidays will not be cut

Once More Miss Brown
Beats Miss BjurStedi

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 7.-Playing a
wonderful brand of tennis, Miss
Mary Browne, of California, yester-
day defeated Miss Molla Bjurstedt,
of Norway, present national cham
pion, in straight sets at the patriotic
tourney of the Scranton Country
Club, 6-1 and GA.
Miss Browne won the first set
with ease, but in the second the Nor
wegian champion had earned three
games before the California girl got
started. Miss Browne then rallied
and won the next five games. Miss
Bjurstedt won the eighth game, but
the ninth and tenth were easy tri-
umphs for her rival.
One of the best exhibition
matches of the day was played be-
tween Henry O'Boyle, Georgetown
University star. and w. 7. Tilden, Of
Philadelphia, the latter winning in
three sets, but only after he was
pushed to the limit. O'Boyle took the
second set easily and looked like a
winner in the third until the Quaker
rallied. Three other exhibition
matches were pulled off before an
other large crowd.

COrn-Fattened Lambs
Give Profits at College

In the fall of the year many lambs
are sold off pasture in pennsylvania
in only fair condition of flesh, largely
because they have received no grain.
An experiment to determine the
economy of feeding grain as part of
the fattening ration for lambs, was
conducted at The Pennsylvania State
College School of Agriculture and Ex-
pertinent Station during the fall of
1915, covering a period of fifty-siX
days.
Three lots of ten lambs each from
the college experimental flock were
used. Each lot received grain mix
corn and one part oil meal at the rate
of one and one-half pounds per head
daily. Lot / was fed mixed hay as a
sole roughage; Lot 2. mixed hay to the
limits OF appetftes and corn silage at
the rate of one-half the amount con-
sumed in Lot 3; and Lot mixed hay
