orders; Chicago has few of these. Out
side of the stockyards district little
war work is being done. And, too, ex-
cepting the meat packers, war profits
are insignificant. Chicago's popula-
ton has headed toward the cities
where profits are being cornered and
wages are high.
So it is that Chicago is now setting
into motion somewhat belated pro-
gram of war effort.
The federal government is to be be-
sieged with pleas, entreaties and
pressure to send war factories to Chi
cago. Munition plants, and what else
the government may want in war or
ders, are desired by the Illinois Man
ufacturers' Association.
That's how war-with0ut war work
can depress city's directory.
The other side-how it can initiate
is found down in Tennessee corn
field an an Alabama cotton patch.
When this year -dawned Jackson
Vile, Tenn, was we'll cultivated
corn field. Then the government sub
stituted powder for corn, and instead
of few hundred Bushels of the lat
ter will make 100000 pounds OF the
former. Today Jacksonville has $4,000
homes where three corn cribs stood,
and over $4,000 men, women and chill
dren travel over paved Streets, ride
In electric cars and earn big wages
Also, there's Sheffield. Ala. On Jan.
1, 1918, that was one mans cotton
patch. Two tenant families lived on
it and dozen people had a hard
time making a living. Now Sheffield
has 10000 population, street cars,
miles of paved streets, suburbs, and
a young army of real estate experts
are selling subdivisions SO fast that
the street naming bureau can't keep
up with them. The government nj
strate plant did all this.
f When Chicago's million has gone,
maybe therell be enough good farm
ing land near Michigan boulevard to
grow quite few bushels of corn, and
being grown near the feeding pens of
the stockyards, will be worth more
than if raised in Tennessee or Ala
bama. Chicago may yet become fine
little agricultural center.

USE OF PROFANITY IN WAR
Norman Conqueror Is Credited With
Being "Mou'her of Round
Oaths."
Chas. M. Dilts.
Local Food Administrator

If the armies of Flanders of this
or any previous war have sworn ter
ribly, they have at least good his
torical precedent, says the Columbia
Is. CO. State. The Normans, from
whom all the good" English de-
scended in direct line, we're led by
famous mouther of round oaths, Will
liam the Conqueror. That wonder
ful fighter is credited with having
invented the most grandiloquent and
lofty oath in all the literature of
profanity, "By the splendor of God"
He swore it vociferously upon the
field of Hastings and won the battle
and the country-and put Norman
gu" in a lot of otherwise perfectly
good English words.
Lars Porsena of Tusculum was
also a famous swearer. 1t seems,
however, that his vocabulary of pro-
family was very limited, and he al
ways swore "by the nine gods" who
didn't assist him much against the
Roman short sword.
But these and the similar resound-
ing oaths of the days of chivalry-
and of the code duello-are partly
redeemed, at least softened, by what
might be termed the refinement of
profanity. Some Of the oaths one
hears in these days-while the "ac-
cuslng spirit" may blush as he gives
them in at "heaven's chancery," we
feel sure that the recording angel
has no tears left with which to blot
them out.

PERSONALITY OF MATTER.

When we consider the nature and
ways of matter we find that it is far
from being impersonal. Nitrogen,
for instance, has ways of its own
that are as battling to the under
standing as are the ways of genius.
The family of halogens have any
number of Celtic traits; the green
chlorine and its cousin fuorine are
as full of tricks and potentialities Of
danger as any Irish lass who ever
lived. What is the cosmic history
of lead? Consider the allotropy of
tinl We cannot all enter into re-
search as to these whimsical quail
ties; so why not take good-natured
view of all inanimate things and tell
OF their ways2 They are very inter-
esting. Then, when some future dis
ciplo of Willard Gibbs tells us all
about them, that will be interesting,
too. We need new and livelier
vision Of them, just as we need dull
catalogues of their reactions and
speculations as to the reasons why
they take place.-Ellwood Hendrick,
in the Atlantic,

Summer School Opened.

A free summer vacation school
has been opened in st, Andrews
Parish House under the tutelege of
the Rev. Thomas Bensley rector of
st. Andrews Episcopal Church.
Children between ten and fourteen
years of age are taught reading
arithmetic, penmanship, grammar
history and Latin. The school is
held on Tuesday, Thursday and Sat
urday of every week between the
hours of $3.50 and 1880.
DR.. Bensley's aim is to aid pupils
in the preparation of their STUDIES
for the coming year in the public
schools. The idea has been well re-
ceived and it is expected there will
be a goodly attendance during the
summer.

Several Streets Improved.

The street department of the
city is now busy repairing and i'm
proving Studdiford street, the thor
oughfare leading out over Cottage
Hill, and much travelled by West
Amwell and HopeweIl township
farmers. Owing to its steep grade
it had gotten in such bad shape as
to be unsafe for travel, and the sod
which lined both sides of it, turning
the water from the bitches to the
roadway, is being removed, so that
further trouble from this source
will have to be considered.
The bad spots in Main and sever
al other streets will be patched
shortly, a number of test patches
having been made to see what re-
suits could be obtained without
asphaltic or binders. They are
standing up all right, but a good
shower or soaking rain would keep
the depressions moist for several
days, enabling the work to be done
within that time, and much more
satisfactorily than in the present
dry condition.

TALK IT OVER WITH CHILD
Discussion of Problems of Conduct Is
Best Method of Gov
eminent.

A parent who has not tried to
solve problems of conduct by dis
cussion with his children has not
governed them in the best way.
Again, parent who has not learned
to restrain his own views on ques-
ton affecting the members of the
family while he listens to the views
of his children has missed the great
est pleasure to be derived from being
parent. Anyone who is not an
autocrat will find only delight in OBJ
serving how his children's minds
work on the difficulties which are
encountered in the management Of
the home. He will be exhilarated
when he sees how their views enlarge
every day as they develop, and how
they gradually get their selfish de-
sires under control so that they can
appreciate and observe principles of
right and justice and fair play
themselves and insist upon others
observing them. A parent who is a
bully never can get an insight into
his children's thoughts about con-
duct and so he can never know what
fine sport it is to be a parent

Solebury Farmers Exhibit.

The Solebury Farmers Exhibit
will hold one day meeting only,
this year, Saturday Sept. 14th. At
committee meeting held recently,
they elected Geo. H. Ely, Pres,
Edw. r. Johnson, Vice Pres, Mrs.

M. Eastburn, Doylestown, Treas.
and added Theodore G. Kitchin,
Walter B. Wiley, Reuben P. Ely
Jos. A. Herman, Miss Edith Smith,
to head various departments. The
program this year will be varied,
with precedence given to all manner
of patriotic endeavor. The needle
work and knitting especially will be
devoted entirely to the various
branches of relief work. Cooking,
baking, canning. and home dress
making, demonstrations, on a larger
scale than has been before attempt
ed in rural community will be
staged, with competent instructors
who will show how government reg
ulations can be carried out, econom-
ically with satisfactory results. The
tractor demonstration will be con-
tinued this year under the super
vision of Reuben P. Ely, and Hugh
w. Kitchener, both practical tractor
men, and as there are number of
new machines in the community, an
excellent show is promised. The
horse show that was nearly spoiled
by the rain last year will have a
number of new features. The pre-
sent shortage, and increased inter-
est in breeding. will be an induce
ment to exhibitors as well as the
spectacular part. Miss Edith Smith
of New Hope, who managed this
department last season will be in
charge again.
The Farm Bureau, with the Home
Economic Extension, have promised
some brand new features.
The show will have it's usual edu-
cational value, with the needs of
the times it's main aim, and enough
of the spirit of fun to be entertain
ing as well as instruc tive.

MORE WITTY THAN HELPFUL.
In abiding to the general discus

In abiding to the general discus
sion now being waged what kind Of
fertilizer to use for the production
of various crops, the Hartford Cou-
rant tells the story of the man who,
many years ago, applied to Horace
Greeley for advice on the matter.
At that time Mr.. Greeley conducted
a column in the Tribune devoted to
what he termed Scientific agricul-
ture." Thousands of farmers and
would-be farmers sent questions to
him asking for light on doubtful
points, and usually they received
Illuminating answers. Occasionally,
however, Mr.. Greeley's sense of hui
NOR or his bent toward sarcasm got
the better of him.
About the time when guano and
artificial fertilizers were attracting
the attention of farmers, a man in
Connecticut wrote to the editor as
follows:
'Mr. Greeley, would you recon-
mend putting guano~ on potatoes? ?"
'For men who drink rum, chew
tobacco and have other vile and nau-
seating habits" replied Mr.. Greeley,
81 suppose that guano is as good as
anything to put on their potatoes.
Personally, l prefer good ham
gravy"

Notice to Householders.

The Sugar situation is extremely
critical and in order that preserving
and canning may be carried on
withour curtailment and have sugar
for other purposes, stringent reg
ulations have deem deemed necess-
airy.
You are therefore limited to 8
pounds per person per month for
all purposes except preserving and
canning, and must not have more
than thirty days supply on hand at
at any time. If you should have in
your house a greater supply than
this limit, you are prohibited from
buying more until you have used
same.
1t is your patriotic duty to con-
form to this regulation otherwise
you will be deemed guilty of hoard
ing and subject to a fine not ex-
ceeding $4,000 and two ~ years
imprisonment. You are warned that
this is not a joke but a FACT and
the Food Administrator has absolute
authority to seize your sugar and
fine you as well.
This is not intended as a threat
but to impess upon you the serious
ness of the offence.
For preserving and canning you
are required to procure from the
local Food Administrator certifi-
cate before you can get any sugar.
You can obtain as many of these
certificates as you need, and should
you obtain more sugar than you re-
quire for this purpose, you obligate
yourself to return it.
All retailers handling sugar have
been required to certify to the
amount of sugar on hand July list,
plus the quantity in transit, also
quantity required for the next three
months, and they will only receive
the difference between these two
items, They also certify they will
not sell more than 8 pounds per
person per month except for preser-
wing and canning, and take a state
ment from you that you have not
purchased sugar in excess of 8
pounds per person per month.
All kinds, grades and descriptions
of sugars are included and must be
bulked together in figuring your
allotment.
Let me caution you again about
any surplus sugar you may have ir
your house. If there is any doubt ir
your mind about this question,
will be glad no advise you. Let me
add. be patient, be patriotic, use as
little sugar as possible for the more
we conserve the sooner the situation
will be relieved.
