The Seed Corn Farmers.

The farmers who are selling seed
corn this year are not in a position t.
say that they are not making a good
Ewar profit. Seed corn at as high a.
$40 a bushel is gold mine for those
whose crops matured in such shape
that they had plenty of good see
corn to sell. Seed corn should be
hrst class in yield. Let us suppose a
yield Of 100 bushels to the acre from
which so bushels would be be worthy
Of use as seed. That, at $40 would
be $500 an acre, and the remainder
sold for feeding purposes would be
SIS. A total Of s575 an acre for corr
would be $3.50 on ten acres. A man
car raise 40 acres of corn, single
handed, it is estimated, and give il
good attention. The man who raised
40 acres of seed corn in 1917-if one
did so-and produced a good salabie
article made a fortune at the tail CT
the pillow between May and corn gath
ering time.

Clean Up and Keep Clean.

This paper VIII have much to say
this spring about the above subject.
There is no reason why we should
not have the cIeanest town in the
State, even if we cannot boast of the
largest. Every man, woman and
child in our town ought to respond to
the appeals that are being made IT,
make the town neat and attractiv,
and clean and sanitary. 1t is only a
small matter for each family to clean
up its own premises, but with every
family IN town doing this the whole
town will not only present an attrac
tive appearance, but will be more
healthfuI as wen. Let everyone Join
In this war against dirt, disease, rub
blsh, ugflness and Indifference to the
public good, and when the town is in
the condition it should be, let every
one help to keep it so. The town is
in urgent need of cleansing and puri
flying after the long winter and the
dampuess of early spring, and all eff
fort to this end will bring reward a
hundred fold

The Price of Ice.

The advance in the price Of beer is
O. matter about which the American
people can afford to crack jokes. Beer
is not a necessity. The advance H.
the price of ice is by no means mat.
ter for joking. 1t is a forerunner of
hardships this summer and until the
end of the war.
m, Last winter was not, as many per-
sons suppose, an ideal ice harvest
winter in Kentucky. There was plenty
Of cold weather, but during most of
it the snow was so deep that team
would not draw a load of ice on a
wagon from the pond to the ice
house. In some instances ice was
stored with slides, but in some the
ice houses were not filled and the
rural population will to an extent
share with city residents the hard
ships Of what promises to be virtually
IN Ice famine, because of lack Of
ammonia. and what surely will be a
summer of exceptional ice prices.

it is not at all surprising that the
Germans have agents in the United
States whose work includes an effort
to poison Americans without regard
to age or sex.
The Germans damn themselves
more the further they go. Their
principal plan of warfare is to COM
nit atrocities entirely beyond the
plan Of civilized convention in war,
aud not within the experience of say
age tribes.
The latest effort will be defeated
early, although some deaths may oc-
cur as a result of it, and it will only
add to the civilized worlds disgust ;of

What It Means Now.

In the good old days, when every
thing was cheap, it meant nothing to
hand out an extra copy of THE
NEWS to subscriber, or to anyone
else who happened to come along and
ask for one to "send away" etc.
But, alas, how the times have chang
ed, now! Likewise the price of print
paper, in fact, almost everything con-
nected with the making of a news
paper. Many times THE NEWS has
given out extra copies" to subscrib-
ers who claimed they had not re-
ceived their paper, even after it had
been ascertained that the paper had
been put in the postoffice or deliv-
cred at the subscribers residence.
We hate to refuse these little ia
vors," but a stop must come some
time, and we are now taking steps
to weed out the most persistent call :
ers, and conserve our stock of print
paper, as we'll as to have enough pa.
pers on hand for needed purposes.
We trust our friends will appreciate
our position, and not put an unnec-
essary hardship upon us.

A Fine Investment.

In asking the people to invest in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, the
Government is not asking them t.
contribute money. 1t is merely ask

Government simply wishes TO employ
your money and pay you for it's ser
vice, just as it would employ and pay
you for your services.
You will get your money back
with interest-compound interest
at the rate of four per cent. per an

years, but you can cash them at ans
time you wish before the date OF
maturity, and get interest at three

Show a Public Spirit.

Let the business men of Paris be
public-spirited, liberal, ready to en-
ter into any scheme that gives fair
promise of being for the interest of
Paris, and we will then be well up
with the progressive spirit of the
age. But if our business men are
careless and Indifferent, willing to
take only what comes, and not ready
to reach out after more customers,
then the city stands in the way of it's
own interests, and outsiders will So

the workers have handled 1.220 new
cases and IL old cases. A total of
SIT cases were Investigated by the

to 704 social service cases. Instruc-
tion was given to sos and 22l child
welfare cases were cared for.
The report of Miss Mary V. Mill
Ter. superintendent. follows in part:
The war has brought. through the
loss of many doctors and nurses, new
and great responsibilities for the
visiting nurse. In private practice.
one doctor Is often covering the work
of three or four. This means that
the visiting nurses become the guar
dians of the health of the people.
Another question brought to the
front by the war; because of the
shortage of doctors and private
nurses. Is that of having nurses.
night and day. to attend confinement
cases.
The services of the staff haye been
enlisted In giving nursing visits to
1886 patients. The association Is CO.
operating with the Red Cross in car
ing for the sick in the homes of the
men who have been called to colors.
Red Cross Aid
The Harrisburg chapter Of the Red
Cross, by furnishing surgical gauze,
cotton and oakum pads, pneumonia
Jackets. and bandages, has enabled
the nurses to reach the home and re-
- Isa
by their timely aid.
During the recent epidemic CT IN
fluenza, the Office stan of the Red
Cross gave their services by helping
to obtain doctors and nurses fo- Har-
risburg and the surrounding coun-
ties.
The volunteer automobile service,
night and day for two weeks enabled
US to meet promptly the needs Of the
sick.
Hospital Service
The hospital social service work.
owing to the government and war de-
mands for nurses, was only partically
carried on for half of the year.
