TRAIN FOR HARD WORK
Is there a physical training
class in your town?

Is there q physical training
class in your town?
If not, this Is a good time to
start one-a physical training
class to harden the soft muscles
of town and city men, SO they
can go to farms and do effective
work during emergency needs
for farm labor in their counties
and communities.
Kansas City started a "loyal
physical fitness class" some
weeks before the time for the
wheat harvest. The idea spread
all over the state. In many
towns and cities similar classes
were organized, and men made
themselves fit for the hard work
they were to undertake in the
fields as volunteer harvest work
ers. The Kansas wheat crop
couldn't have been harvested If
thousands of patriotic men from
the towns and cities had not
volunteered to save this crop
that will help feed the fighters
at the front. And a great many
of these men couldn't have work
ed as effectively, and some of
them would have been forced to
drop out altogether, If they had
not been prepared for the physi-
cal strain by preliminary train
ing.
Uncle Sam needs the help Of
every loyal American citizen.
Either work or fighti You can't
do your best work, either at
your present job or at any other
job, or In the fields temporarily
as q farm volunteer, unless you
are physically fit.
A few weeks work In a physi-
cal training class will "harden"
you surprisingly. Start a class
in your town. Be ready to go to
work effectively, be able really
to accomplish something in the
fields when the call comes for
patriotic town men to do emer-
gency farm work in your section.
An open space-the courthouse
square or a vacant lot or a big
back yard-a leader who knows
the army "setting up" or other
movements and exercises-and
determination on the part Of the
men Of your town-these are all
the things you need.

Made Revolutionary cannon.

In Pennsylvania during the Reyoiu-
ton Warwick furnace was very ac-
tive in casting cannon some of which
were buried when the British drew
nigh in 1777. The owner of Eliza
beth furnace in Lancaster county, in
payment for sundry great guns, re-
ceived German prisoners, at one time
AZ and at another %, at $3.50 per head.
He had discovered hat they knew bet
ter how to make guns than to use
them. Caldwell, now the Oldest char
coal furnaces in the Union, yielded
its quota of Revolutionary ordnance,
and the owner of the Reading works,
after a few experiments, made an out
put of one new gun every day.
No state but Pennsylvania can
clearly show four embarrassing
establishments in our first great
struggle. Near Baltimore, however.
cannon were cast in 1850 at North
ampton. and from Ridgeley's furnace
near It small cannon had been or
dered by congress in 1776.

fuel employed, for anthracite coal from
Wilkesbarre region was foated down
the Susquehanna and hauled in wagons
from Harris Ferry (Harrisburg) to
this point. This was the first use of
such coal, on such a scale, for i'll
dustrial purposes" Eviden, of the
large force of workmen employed is
found in a meat bill, dated February Z,
1871, for $50 head of beef cattle to
supply the artificers and others at
Washingtonburg, at the Continental
works near Carlisle"
The contention is that this military
post was the first place in the United
States to be named for Washington
and that its existence antedates by
years Washington, D. G.
When General Washington was in
Carlisle during the whisky rebellion

SHIPPED in the "Old Presbyterian Meet
ing House. on the public square in
Carlisle, and it was in this identical
meeting house, on July u, 1774, q year
before the M~ecklenburg declaration, a
public meeting OF patriotic citizens
gathered from the town and surround
ing country, condemned the act of the
British parliament and urged vigorous
measures to correct the wrong. Col.
John Montgomery was the presiding
officer. James Wilson was present and
was appointed one of the members OF
the committee to meet with other com
mittees to take action. He was later a
member of the Continental congress, q
signer of the Declaration and a justice
of the Supreme court. Wings history
states, "and when in the Continental
congress he received instructions from
his constituents in Cumberland county
to advocate an entire separation from
the mother country. This was prob
ably the first utterance of that senti-
ment of the country"
B~ancroft's Tribute TO Wilson.
Bancroft says of Wilson: "He was an
ardent patriot, like many other emf
nent me- of that day-not at first
avowedly in favor of severance from
the mother country, but he desired it
when he received definite instruction
from his constituents"
Bellman, writing of the potency of
this meeting held in the "Old Meeting
House on July II, IVA says: "The
influence, therefore, of the meeting, or
of subsequent instructions to which it
gave rise, seems to have determined
the action of Pennsylvania in that
great crisis which men even like John
Dickinson were too timid or too cow
ardly to meet"
The vote of James Wilson deter
mined the vote of Pennsylvania. Had
PENNSYLVANIA failed to accept the reso-
luton we today would be under an
other flag.
Philadelphia may be considered "Ihe
birthplace of American liberty" but
its conception in the "Old Presbyterian
Meeting House." in Carlisle, Cumber-
land county, Pennsylvania, made 1t
possible to be born.
The ~Scotch-Irish part in the Revolu-
tionary war and the events preceding
it is becoming more apparent and i'm
portant, and the actions taken in the
Presbyterian meeting houses through
out Pennsylvania are vital to historic
recital.

MOTOR TRUCK TO
TRANSPORT eggs
Producers Find Experiment So
Satisfactory That They Will
Extend Service.
QUICK DELIVERY IS RESULT
Fruits, Vegetables and Other Products
in Season to Be Carried-Mer-
chandise Is Hauled by Trucks
on Return Trips.

Last year producers of eggs a
Vineland and Millville, New Jersey,
had difficulties getting their eggs to
dealers in New York City. This year,
however, they travel direct by motor
truck to the dealers doors and arrive
In less time and with less loss from
breakage than in other seasons.
This community of producers has
found the results of their experiment
of shipping eggs by motor truck so
successful that they are planning to
extend their efforts to cover fruits and
vegetables, poultry, and other products
in season.
Eggs by Motor Truck.
Following a season in which trans
p~ortation troubles made shipments to
New York City unsatisfactory the
farmers sought assistance from the
bureau of markets of the United States
department of agriculture, and spe-
cialists on motor-truck marketing made
a survey of the situation. This was
followed by a group of producers agree
ing to ship their eggs by motor truck
and to bring the cases to designated
places along the route the truck was
to cover. A large commercial motor
truck company, operating a fleet OF
trucks between New York and Phila-
delphia, was interested and agreed to
make a detour on their trips to New
York, to which city their trucks a
often travelled without being loaded,
to take in Vineland and Millville. Lo-
cal farmers and merchants in these
two towns agreed to give their hauling
business from Philadelphia to the truck
company and thus insure a full load
for the trucks all the way from Phila-
delphia to New York.
Capacity Of Trucks.
The trucks have a capacity Of about
five tons, and can take 200 crates Of
eggs On the first trip only $50 S
were ready at the roadside and the bal
ance Of the load was made up of Grated
glass from Vineland and Millville. This
first load went the 140 miles in the

egg broken on the way. The truck
went across on the ferry boat from the
New Jersey shore, and the eggs were
delivered on the sidewalks in front
Of the wholesale houses. On the re-
turn trip the truck hauled merchandise
from New York direct to Philadelphia.
Some Of the dealers in New York
City are offering a premium of from
one-half to one and one-half cents a
dozen for eggs shipped by motor
truck from Vineland and Millville, be-
cause the eggs arrive in better condi-
ton and In quicker time than when
shipped by rail. This premium alone
more than covers the difference in cost
Of shipping by motor truck and by rail,
and, in addition to the time saved, the
motor-truck service is more dependable
and gives better delivery. The eggs,
as yet, are not pooled, but consist or
individual shipments to a number OF
dealers.

Finding Help for Harvest.

Kansas answered the call for In
creased food production. Kansas plant
ed more wheat. Kansas knew, Of
course, that a tremendous amount Of
man power would be required to har-
vest that crop. But Kansas wasn't dis
mayed. Uncle Sam called for more
wheat. Kansas planted more wheat.
Kansas knew that wheat would be har-
vested and that people In the towns
and cities would go to the fields to
help do It!
And that is precisely how 1t is being
harvested-by people from the towns
and cities of Kansas. A literal exo-
dus of all the urban people hasn't been
necessary, of course. But all that were
needed went-and more were ready IL
needed.
The statewide campaign for town
volunteers for farm labor service dur
ing the harvest was launched at a Kan
sas City conference the latter part or
May. Representatives Of the United
States department Of agriculture re-
minded all the cooperating agencies
at that conference of the policy that
department has been urging since the
beginning Of the Wharf.-The use OF town
man power for local farm labor needs
during seasonal emergencies.

Whose mental spectacles were blue,
Who'd rarely seen a boat,

For toward the inky sky
Our captains signal of distress
A rocket--fared on high.
