over $1,000 worth of timothy and clover
seed. Some Of the stock of -four and

Suggestions for School
Lunches to Stay Riddles
Craving Until Night Meal

Don't let the school lunch be merely
something which will fill the lunch box
In the morning and be only a sop to
stay the kiddies' appetites from noon
until night. Make it a real contribu,
ton to the food which the children
require to meet the needs of theii
growing bodies and active brains-td
satisfy their appetites and keep them
In health.
These are the suggestions of home
economics specialists of the United
States department of agriculture, now
that millions of the future citizens of
the country are again eating their mid
day meals from box, basket, bag or
confectionery shop instead of from the
family table under watchful parental
eyes,.
The preparation Of l%uncheons which
will fill the needs of the child's body,
does not mean the use of more expen-
'sive foods or the expenditure Of great
er effort, the specialists paint out. In
many cases both expense and work
will be lessened. What is needed for
the preparation of more satisfactory
lunches is merely that parents and
'big sisters" or whoever fills the lunch
box, shall inform themselves of certain
facts in regard to the choice and COM
bination of foods. The need In many
cases is for neither more nor less food,
but for the representation of needed
food groups. The necessary facts are
set out plainly In Farmers Bulletin
712, "School Lunches"
The following suggestions are among
those made in the bulletin for we'll
balanced lunches to be carried to
school:
1. Sandwiches with sliced tender
meat for filling; baked apple, cookies
or a few Jumps of sugar.
2. Sliced meat loaf or bean loaf;
bread and butter sandwiches, stewed
fruit, small frosted cake.
3. Crisp rolls, followed out and
filed with chopped meat or fish, moist,
ened and seasoned, or mixed with
salad dressing, orange, apple, a mixture
of sliced fruits or berries, cake.
4. Lettuce or celery sandwiches, cup
custard. jelly sandwiches.
5. Cottage cheese and chopped green
pepper sandwiches or a pot of
cream cheese with bread-and-but-
ter sandwiches, peanut sandwiches,
fruit, cake.
6. Hard-boiled eggs, crisp baking
powder biscuits, celery or radishes,
brown sugar or maple sugar sand
wicheS.
7. Bottle of milk, thin corn bread
and butter, dates, apples.
8. Raisins or nut bread with but
ter, cheese, orange, maple sugar.
9. Baked bean and lettuce sand
witches, apple sauce, sweet chocolate.

A Letter From Camp Mcclellan.
Pleasantville Press:-


Just a word of thanks for the home
town paper which we receive every
week and appreciate very much. Let
say in reference to the Y. M. C. A,
for which l read there is a fund in
progress, that it is a great help and
blessing to the boys. A finer place of
recreation and comfort cannot be
found in all the camp. 1t affords us
a warm place to spend the evenings
either in writing or entertainment.
Free stationery is available at all
times, also fine books and popular
magazines. Talent is always there
from the camp and elsewhere. Sun
day is the day of days. AS it is a
holiday for the soldier he often avails
himself of the opportunity to write
and read. Services are conducted
and the evening is passed pleasantly
in song service. Your pape is doing
a great work by endorsing the raising
of the fund, and we boys indorse it
with all our hearts. l wish to say an
other word in conclusion-that The
Pleasantville Press is always looked
for and thankfully received.

Time Neededto
Fatten Poultry

The question is often asked: How
long does it take to fatten poultry
properly?
The time required to fatten chickens
and other poultry for prime market
finish depends largely upon what kinds
of feeds are given and the range of
the birds during the fattening period.
If the birds are allowed to run at
large and range freely the fattening
period is much longer, and in some
cases with wide range the birds will
never become in prime market condi-
ton, no matter how literally fed. The
reason for this Is hat the birds in
walking and roaming over wide areas
take too much exercise, and feed that
UNDER, other conditions would go to
form flesh and fat goes to furnish
muscular energy, which is lost so far
as fattening is concerned.
In the case of turkeys, which are
semiwild birds, a limited range for the
birds is necessary, especially In early
and late fall, when insects, wild seeds,
green clover and grasses are still to be
secured. Turkeys will grow and take
on flesh as long as these wild feeds on
the open range can be secured freely.
However, as cold weather comes on it
is best to supply turkeys with corn and
other feeds they will eat close to the
barn and poultry quarters, so that they
will roam as little as possible as the
marketing period approaches. They
will not bear confinement and forced
feeding like other kinds of poultry. In
very close confinement they will worry
off more flesh and fat than they will
put on, as a rule.
With chickens, ducks and geese it Is
economical to confine them closely and
feed heavily a few days before mar
keting. The confined birds should
have all they will possibly eat of mixed
grain, or ground grains and water.
The best method is to feed a mixture
of ground grains and skim milk. Birds
fattened this way in close confinement
are known as "milk-fed" poultry, and
such when in prime condition COM
mand the highest market prices. The
time required for fattening is from one
week to ten days, after which time the
birds will not gain in weight and
should be sold Immediately.

We would like to hear from him
again about the Motor Mail Route.

out the piece in each paper and send

who have to bear the trials of this

has not put a letter or parcel of any
kind in her mail box for over 8 weeks,
because of a careless mail carrier and
the change in time. This same lady
takes all her mail to Pleasantville

not have a better mail service than
this we may as we'll get out of the
place and into one where we can get
better. We have always been used to
good mail service, getting our mail
early mornings, and mail go out each
day was mailed. But now-Lord save
US and good night-our mail is likely
to be passed around in several of our
neighbors' mail boxes before it reach
es the p%ostoftice, and maybe never
heard from at all. One lady was 9
days receiving a postal, a distance of
2 miles from where it was mailed to
where she lived. Others are getting
everybody's mail except their own.
Why was our mail route changed ?
To benefit who and what City,?
Why do we allow it to continue?
Surely we are not compelled to, for the
whole thing was misrepresented to us

Fixed the Verdict.

One of the shortest cummings up
on record is believed 10 be that by the
late Commissioner Kerr at the Old
Bailey in a case where a mar was
charged with being In the unlawful
possession of a gold watch and chain.
The appearance of the prisoner GER
tainly did not correspond with the le-
climate possession of such costly or
naments, but he asserted his innocence
of the charge, and declared that he
had found the watch and chain on the
pavement.
The judge looked at the man in the
dock and then at the men in the box.

London during the last forty years,

chain there yet. Consider your YER
