Corn Situation Serious

The March Farm and Fireside
says:
1.-TWO avenues are open to the far
mer who wants to do his bit by
raising at least an average corn crop
in 1918. The first lies to the crib
where the old corn is stored; the
second still remains the cornfield
with its 1917 crop. If 10 per cent. of
the necessary seed corn was picked
before Friday, October 5th, and SO
per cent. can be secured from the
old corn, there remains 40 per cent.
for the 1917 crop. after the october
freeze, to supply. All through No
vember and up to the middle of De-
cember, farmers were being urged to
lose no time in getting out into their
fields and picking from five to ten
times as much seed corn as would
be needed for planting in the spring.
The farmer who would need 15
bushels of seed corn was urged to
pick from 60 to $50 bushels; and dry
it out thoroughly. From that
amount it is confidently believed the
necessary Is bushels can be secur-
ed"

LOCK THEM UP

THERE is no stronger advocate
of law and order than the
Telegraph, but it sympathizes
deeuly with those patriotic citizens
who took authority into their own
hands at Lima, o.. yesterday and
compelled celebrating pro-Germans
to kiss the American flag and other
wise humble themselves in the pres
ence of their neighbors. 1t goes a
step further and expresses the hope
that, in the event of similar occur
rences in Harrisburg, the vigilant
committee in charge of the cere-
mony will supplemeI { moral sua-
sion by a series of vigorous and
swift kicks delivered where they
may be expected to prove most
effective.
The pro-German in America can
understand but one thing - force,
and he should be given a taste of
it whenever he offends. We have
been entirely too lenient with the
enemy within our gates. The time
has come when we must come down
hard on all such. The arrest of DIR.
Muck, ex-director of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra, is a case in
point. Muck ought to have been in
a concentration camp long since.
The former leader of the Kaisers S
own musicians, who refused to per-
nit his orchestra to play the Star
Spangled Banner, is not a man with
whose tender feelings the govern
ment should have much concern at
a time like this. He has demon
strated very clearly that he is pro-
German in his sentiments. and if he
has not done the country any dam
age it is not because he has not been
willing. His place is a concentration
camp for the remainder of the war.
The same kind of treatment should
be meted out to Mrs. Stokes, who
presumes upon the influence of a
big fortune to spread seditious doc
trine and to tell her audiences that
she is opposed to the war and the
government" Away with all such
as she. If we have to keep a watch
on them let it be in droves behind
stout stone walls.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
MILLION AND HALF GIVEN
To the Editor of the Telcgrabh:

To the Editor of The Telegraph:
The $750,000 fund for National
Lutheran Commissions work among
our Army and Navy boys has been
over-subscribed by practically $780,
900. Twenty-eight states have rails
ed more than their quota. Mime
sofa leads with $25S,000. Pennsyl-
vania is second with 5000, 900. West
Virginia raised four times it's quota,
of over $4,000. Many places still
to be heard from, which will easily
bring the total to $1,500,000, or twice
the amount asked for!
Lutherans are to be congratulate
ed and God should be thanked for
this remarkable exhibition of AM
erican loyalty, liberality and solidar-
ity! Think of it it! A million and
half!

This Is q HOLY War

The overthrow of old standards
as a result of war conditions is strill-
ingly shown by the recent action of
a Methodist conference in Pennsyl-
vania, where the members declined
to record themselves in opposition
to Sunday work at the Bethlehem
Steel Company's plant on the
ground, as one speaker put it, that
'it is as righteous to make bullets
on the Lords day as it is to fire
them on the Lords day"

Park Commissioner Gross should be
commended for his efforts to have
the Donate statuary properly located
and installed. This gift to the city
has been neglected in a warehouse
since its presentation by Mr.. Hershey.
and 1T is time that official action was
taken. 1t is a question whether the
Reservoir Park provides the most
available site for this statuary, but it
may be assumed that Commissioner
Gross will make no recommendation
until he shall have thoroughly studied
the matter from every angle. In any
event. the fact that some concrete
move has been made will be approved
by the people.

MERIT REWARDED
the Editor of the Telcgrabh:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
1t is surely gratifying to the many
friends of George S. Mish, of Mid
dletown, craftsman in the State
Highway Department, that he has
been promoted to- the position of
assistant engineer. That he is
worthy and deserving of his promo
ton is very evident as the State
Highway Commissioner, Denny o.
Neal, saw proper to recognize mer-
it. Mr. Mish bring ability and eX-
perience to his new position. He is
a most capable and painstaking
workman. His many friends ex-
tend congratulations.
