no one would object. In fact, il
probably the majority of cases,
it simply amounts to an increas
in the salary of the Representa-
tive himself. These secretaries
are the only employees of the
Government who are not on the
payroll, and as a result, the Rep
resentative himself draws the
salary, and pays it out as he
pleases. In some cases he EN-
ploys a member of his own fami

provided he pays that member
full rates for the work. In many

Adams Has Dry Judge.

In the Adams County license
court held at Gettysburg last Fri.
day, Associate Judge Miller re-
fused to concur with President
Judge Mcpherson and Associate
Judge Dicks in the granting of
thirty-one of the thirty-four ap-
plication for liquor license.
Associate Miller, in refusing
to sign his name to the liquor
selling, filed dissenting opinion,
as follows:
Il refuse to sign liquor license
applications because, in my judg-
ment, there is no public necessity
in the county for a saloon and
because the evils to the young
flowing from the saloons are so
great; also the changed trend of
sentiment in this county is all
against the granting of licenses.
| have therefore determined to
suppress them as far as it lies in
my power to do So"

Improving The Egg Yield.

The Department of Agriculture
Washington, recommends that
crushed oyster shell food be kept
before laying hens as a means
through which a good hard egg
is produced. A record kept at
the Government Chicken Yard,
of the amount of oyster shells fed
to a laying hen, showed that in
one year 1-three tenth lbs. per
hen was consumed at a cost of
l cent a hen per year. 1t is also
pointed out, that the calcium
mineral matter taken in by the
young chicken in the feeding of
oyster shells, may have a tenden-
cy to strengthen the frame of
young pullets and make them
stronger and healthier in later
life. 1t is further shown from
actual experiment, that when
beef scraps was fed to hens, the
average egg yield was 1877 eggs
per hen a year, and when beef
scraps were not fed, 80 eggs was
the average yearly yield.

Wheat Will Be Scarce and high,
Even With a Bumper Crop.

This country will be so bare
of wheat by next summer that
high prices will prevail even if
farmers raise a bumper CROP"
declares the Manufacturers Re-
cord. 1.-The farmers will thus
have an opportunity to continue
to get such prices as they have
not had in the past, even if they
produce a crop surprising the
record yield of 1915. Every bush
ell they can produce will be need
ed. Should they double their
work they will simply very near
ly, if not quite. double their prof
its, for the world is short on
f~oodstuffs." Winter wheat may
be helped by top drssing with
manure during the winter months
or with applications of fertilizers
high in ammonia early in the
spring. Indications are that a
greatly increased number Of
farmers will top dress their wheat
fields this year to get the increas-
ed yields and resulting larger
profits.
