CANDY AND SUGAR GIVES
DAUPHIN FLYER 4 HOLIDAY
Walter j. Shaffer Thanks Senders of Christmas Bores
"Puts Heart Into Man." He Writes

a. m. one naturally wanted some
thing more warming than tasty. The
same thing applies here, even If
L am living in a chateau and never
roll out until a. m, sometimes
IL a. M, because there is never a
fire in the dining room. Imagine
eating all ones meals in q room so
cold that ones breath is always visi-
BILE and the meat gravy freezes on
the plate before one can eat it.
That's me; so you can see how well
come your coffee was, for not only
was it warming, but very good as
well.
II use the first case because it's
all gone along with the dates and
most of the chocolate. The candy
boXfull of sugar had me guessing,
as L opened 1t with the full expec-
tation of finding more chocolate
you see what a. pig L am! The
sugar was a God-send though, for
1 had tided the escadrille over sew
eral sugarless meals now. There
are only eight of us, you know,
since we are a new escadrille, and
am not hard-hearted enough to see
them all suffer. Passed several
pieces of chewing gum out to the
Frenchmen-for they sure do love
it, even more than chewing the
rag" which is considerable.
80 accept my thanks, girls, for
your kind and generous gift
for although we aviators are given
the best treatment of any branch
of the Army you have helped in
making the life at least little
more cheerful. It puts heart into
a man to know that there are still
such thoughtful and kind girls as
you in America"

nothing is left undone that is neces-
sary to insure safe arrival. It is eH-
dent that many bushels of potatoes
must be consumed between now and
seeding time If waste is to be pre-
vented. 1t will be safer for the av-
erage farmer to sell his potatoes f.
o. b., station instead of making ship
ments to be sold on arrival unless he
understands the business. If farm
ers desire to make their own ship
ments they can write the Bureau of
Markets at Harrisburg and they will
be put in touch with reliable parties
who will give them fair treatment.
1T is highly important that the
supply of seed should be taken care
of first, and then efforts should be
made to market the surplus stock as
quickly as possible. Farmers should
not be discouraged because of the
unfavorable conditions which have
confronted them this season, but
should plant freely. The introduc-
ton of potato flour should make an
increased demand for the potatoes,
and the Department of Agriculture
officials believe it will be a good poll
icy to keep up the acreage this year."

Two Harrisburg women became
interested in Walter j. Shaffer, the
Dauphin aviator in France, through
reading his interesting letters in the
Telegraph. They concluded to send
him a Christmas box and have just
received a letter of thanks under
date of January 6. Among other
things he says:
Your package of candy, dates,
coffee, ETC., arrived the other day,
but l was too busy flying-and eat
ing the contents-to find time to
thank you for the kind and thought
full gift. Will try TO now, if these
Frenchmen will let up on their
noise, since there are six of them
beside me sitting around the open
fireplace in a vain endeavor to keep
warm. What with the beau coup

the fact that they don't have to
work" to-day-since it's raining
they are celebrating in their usual
way, by making q lot of noise.
You cannot imagine how ap-
preciated that Washington coffee
was unless you have drunk this aw-
full French stuff, and then you would
understand why / regard it as a
gold mine. Fer French coffee al
ways has a burnt taste, and besides
being served black sometimes is
minus the sugar. and that was
where your sweet" offering came
in. Incidentally 1 have not used the

some remote chance be quicklime,

speeding up potato consumption.
The Bureau of Markets of the
State Department of Agriculture calls
attention to the Importance of look
ing after the seed potatoes that are
to be used this year in bulletin just
issued. Many thousands of bushels
of potatoes throughout the state have
been frozen during the severe wea-
ther of this winter, and no doubt
many more bushels will freeze be-
fore warm weather arrives. Unless
the farmer is extremely careful he
will be planting potatoes that have
been slightly frozen, thereby reduc-
ing their vitality, if not completely
destroying their terminating power
The Bulletin says: THE Bureau
urges that the farmers be ex-
tremely careful in making shipments
during the next few weeks. Several
complaints from farmers who had
loaded cars and shipped to the city,
only to find their potatoes frozen on
arrival, have been received. Before
attempting to ship in car lots the
farmer should get reliable informa-
Ition as to preparation of the car,
method of heating, etc. and see tha

According to reports about two
thirds of the entire potato crop of
this country remained in the hands
of the farmers and the dealers on
January 1st, and the National De-

that farmers sell freely, and that the
large dealers move their stocks rap

SOsszAA41BA44HE eu IOr young men
to volunteer to plant trees. Twenty
five State College students have al
ready enrolled, but as there are s.
100000 trees to set out many more
men are needed.
The plan is to reforest lands now
owned by the state, many of which
were cut out years ago and which
will now be scientifically handled.
The reservations to be planted are in
Union, Potter, Tioga and Westmore-
land counties and if it can be done
tracts will be planted in other coun-
ties. The camps will be located on
the reserves and all available labor
concentrated.
The state nurseries have about
21,000,000 trees, of which 100000
must be planted unless there is to
be serious loss, but owing to the
number of foresters and woodsmen
who have enlisted we need men to
plant" said Commissioner Conklin.
The planting season will open about
April or 10 and continue until
about May 25. The men will be well
cared for at camp, paid good wages,
given travelling expenses and in ad-
dition will have the valuable expert
ence in the woods and know that
they are doing something to help
along their states conservation work.
This year we will plant on more de-
nuded hillsides than ever before if
we can get the men,"
Board Meets.-The Public Service
Commission sat to-day for arguments
in cases heard during the winter.
An executive session will be held to-
night and complaints against the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co., will
be sent to the company for answers.

1T the State Capitol and in the last
few weeks more have been issued for
thing else. In some weeks as high
as seven for that offence have been
issued, some of the men being
brought back to Pennsylvania from
beyond the Mississippi.
Bees Hard Hit.-This winter is
declared to have been the most de-
structive in years to bees by George
ii. Rea. the State Apiary Inspector,
who estimates the loss i'm thousands
of dollars in an industry which eff
forts are being made to encourage.
The greatest loss was occasioned by
failure to protect hives and the bulk
of bees wintered outdoors will be
lost, says the inspector. Bees which
survive will be too weak to secure
full honey production. The inspec-
tor urges that care be taken to pro-
tect the remaining hives.
