now like would not be lucky
enough to go along, for | was
transferred over a month ago
from the 305th Eng. to the 3 rd

come in.
Of course, | do not dare tell
you much of what is going on,
but enough to say we are train
ing, and training hard; and, take
it from me, it will be sorry day
for the Huns when this 8Oth Di-
vision lands on the front line

The boys are all anxious to GO,
and we are a fit bunch. 1t sure
surprises me the way the boys
have developed pep in the short

JOSEPH T. BARTON, Ph. D.
Former County Superintendent Of
Schools OF Fulton County Passed
Away at Yakima, Washington.

Joseph F. Barton, a former
well-known citizen of Flu lton
County, died at his home in va
kima, Washington. Friday, Feb
ruary Is, 1918. Funeral services
were held on Sunday afternoon,
after which the remains were
shipped to Minneapolis, Mimi,
and laid to rest in the Barton
family plot.
Joseph F. Barton was son of
Baltzer and Nancy Chilcote Bar
ton, and he was born in West
moreland county, Pa, in 1852;
hence at the time of his death he
was aged about 66 years. When
two years of age his parents re-

grew to manhood, attending the
rural schools, graduating at the
Cumberland Valley State Normal
in 1874. He taughtseveral years
in the public schools of Fulton
County, served as County Super
intendent in the same county
from 1881 to 1887, later serving
as Vice Principal of the G. V.
State Normal for a number of
years, when he went to Yakima.
and soon became identified with
the city's interests, and was
elected to the Mayoralty of that
city, which shows his popularity
and the appreciation of his worth
as a citizen.
DR.. Barton was unmarried, and
he is survived by three sisters
and five brothers: Mrs. W. h.
Bohn. Mrs. w. M. Watt, and
Mrs. w. B. Dudley-all residing
in Yakima: two brothers, Elijah
B. and William Fl. reside in Min
neapolis; Humphrey B., in st.
Paul; DR.. George, in Florida, and
Albert in Iowa.
The deceased was a member of
the Presbyterian church and a
member of the misunderstanding.
With the death of DR.. Barton,
Fulton's County County Super
intendents serving prior to 1887,
have all passed to their final re-
ward.

MUST NOT hOLD WHEAT.
rood Commissioners, Calls Upon Farm.
erS to Market Their Wheat be.
fore May First.

Mr.. Howard Heinz, Fedora
Food Administrator for Penn
sylvania, calls upon the patriotic
farmers of this county to sell al
the wheat now in their hands, ir
the following telegram to Mr.,
John R. Jackson, County FooC
Administrator:
In order that we may comply
with the urgent demands of the
Allies for wheat and at the same
time take care of our own do
mestic supplies, we urgently need
this year an earlier and more com.
plete marketing of the wheat in
farmers hands than usual. The
Allies are taking from US fifty
percent Of other cereals than
wheat to mix in their bread. In
as much as the people in Allied
Countries and the soldiers must
be fed with bread baked in bak-
cries, it is impossible for them to
prepare bread made wholly out of
other cereals, and we must fur
nish them with sufficient wheat
to maintain their bakery loaf.
Il, therefore, appeal to all of
the farmers in the State of Penn =
sylvania that they shall bring all
of their wheat except their nee
essary reserves for seed to mar
ket before May first. This is a
War call and a service for Uncle
Sam, who is fighting for his life.
If your local miller is unable to
buy all the wheat that is offered,
market it in the other customary
trade channels, through which it
will reach the Food Administra-
tion Grain Corporation.
1t is announced that machinery
for the vigorous enforcement of
the regulations on the selling
price of wheat mill feeds has
been set up, and that we will re-
ceive complaints in this, matter,
and promptly investigate all
cases.
I'VE have wired Mr.. Hoover
that he can feel assured that the
farmers of Pennsylvania will an
swer his appeal to market all
wheat Ebefore May first, with
the exception of reserve for seed,
as our farmers are as patriotic as
any others and as determined to
win the war.
(Signed) HEINZ.
The farmers are asked to do
this voluntarily, but our partners
overseas must not suffer, if the
holders Of wheat do not heed the
above advice compulsion may be
the next step.

County Food Administrator.

We MUST Awake
II We Would Save Oar Children from
Bondage, aud The World from
KaiSeriSm.

]
The time is now here that we
American people must ask our
selves the question, What Can
We Do to Win the War;" We
as a free people, should think of
the world war with seriousness.
If the war is to be won, autoc-
racy to be wiped from the face
of the earth, and the banner of
democracy to float in every land,
the responsibility is no to Amer
lea. America, with IFS vast
resources can do it, if we as a
people, put our shoulders to the
wheel. However important may
be the work of the boys in the
trenches, the fearless aviators in
the skies, the intrepid lads in the
submarines under the seas-un-
less the farmer does his bit in
telligently, determinedly, and
furnishes the staff of life to all
these military arms of the Gov
ernment, the war must be a fail
ure.
While it is true that farmers
generally are fully awake to the
food situation, and heartily in
sympathy with the effort to con.
troll and conserve that which will
be most needed abroad, the sea-
son is here when he must not
only think but act. Let us, as
farmers, ask ourselves the ques.
ton, Can we not, this season,
cultivate few more acres of
corn, cats, buckwheat, or pota-
toes?" Some of you viii say
Potatoes are no price" But,
listenl We must have meat and
eggs. Cook the potatoes, feed
them to tie hogs and chickens,
and sell the wheat and corn for
-four. OF course, the question Of
help arises, and the price of farm
machinery is so high, that the
farmer with limited means is
seriously handicapped; but, in
the face of all this, do not be
discouraged. If we cannot do
all we would like to do, let US do
the next best thing, and do it
with the determination of being
of some account in helping to win
this war, and in protecting our
families and our property from
the horde of Huns whose motto
is, Might is Right"
If we as farm ers eat a
few more potatoes, little more
corn mush, a few more buck
wheat cakes, a little more fruit,
and Quench our thirst with cool
spring water, cur strength will
in no wise be impaired, and we
will have more wheat to sell,
which will help to buy liberty
bonds or thrift stamps. This
will mean that we are being ed
ucated in economy, our bank
accounts are being strengthened,
and our Government is receiving
the sinews of war direct from
the soil. This is what call true
patriotism.
Now, just a few words to those
who have but a small plot of
ground. Produce all you can,
Don't say you can't buy it cheap
er than you can raise it. Re-
member that it is your duty to
help make the earth yield forth
her increase to the uttermost
bushel, that it may be sent to the
seaboard, thence across to our
boys in France, and to the fami-
lies of our allies whose bread
winners have been taken from
the farms and are now standing
in the trenches shoulder to should
er with our boys helping t o pro-
tect their homes and our homes.
Little drops of water, Little
grains of sand-you know the
rest.

RED CROSS WORK.
Superintendent Thomas Urges Teach
erS, Pupils, and Patrons, 10
Greater Activity.

To the teachers of Fulton Coun
ty:-I was appointed some few
weeks ago one of a committee o.
three by Hon. d. H. Patterson t
help. organize a force in Ful
ton County to make a drive to in
crease the Red Cross fund.
Since my appointment, | have
visited many Of the schools, anC
there made speeches to the chill,
dren, stating that this drive
would be made in April. also
found a number Of persons who
were willing to take up the work
of solicitation. To all persons,
| wish to say that Mr.. Patterson
has been informed that this drive
has been postponed until May.
| wish to say to the teachers
who have heretofore subscribed to
the Red Cross fund, that our duty
does not end with the first sub
scription, subscribed to the Red
Cross fund in the fall. again
subscribed in the winter. ! shall
subscribe this spring, and every
time asked, so long as necessity
requires.
expect to contribute to the
coming drive as literally as cir
cumstances shall permit. feel
thu it is my patriotic duty to con-
thu. subscriptions as long as Red
Cross .1nds are needed, and what
ever deyoives as a patriotic duty
upon me, certainly rests as a pa
triotic duty upon every teacher in
our county.
May | call upon the teachers
whose schools | have not been
able to visit since my appoint
ment, to explain to the children
under their care the meaning of
the Red Cross work and why it. is
carried on? May | ask you to ex-
plain to the boys and girls how
the funds are applied?
| take this method of asking
your hearty cooperation, because
it is impossible for me to reach
all schools before their close.
To the people of Fulton Coun-
ty in generaI:-It matters not
what may be your nationality. 1t
matters not what may be your
opinion about the war, no matter
about conscientious scruples as
regards the war-The Red Cross
society was not organized in the
interests of war, but in the in
terest of humanity. For this
reason, it seems to me, no one
can be a conscientious objector to
contributing to the Red Cross
work.
In fact, the Red Cross work has
but one object, namely, to relieve
the suffering of mankind.
The United States has already
sent her boys to the front. Ful.
ton County has sent her boys to
the training camp. Some OF these
will, doubtless, soonreach France,
ana it is sufficient TO say that we
can never repay them with
our dollars for the great sacrifice
these young men are willing to
make, but we ought not, to hesi-
tate to spend our dollars to make
them as comfortable as possible
and to show our just and due ap-
probation to them Tor their will
ingness to serve their country.
In conclusion, may | again ask
that when the drive shall be made
that you contribute as literally as
circumstances permit.
/ wish to add that not a men,
Der of this committee will receive
a penny for services rendered.
