Sugar Substitutes For
Sweetening Ice Cream.

Following are two sugar SUBJ
stitutes for the sweetening of ice
cream, which will be beneficial to
hotels, restaurants and all per-
sons manufacturing ice cream
either for sale or for use in their
own homes.
l. Take 10 pounds Of honey,
5 pounds of maple syrup, 5
pounds of corn syrup. Add this
to your ice cream base. After
wards add your chocolate, fruit
juices, etc. The above will
sweeten about "a gallons of ice
cream.
2. Take / quart corn syrup, 2
quarts cream, add your choco-
late, fruit juices, etc. The above
will sweeten 5 quartsof ice cream.
The above substitutes for sugar
are especially recommended to the
Red Cross Society and all other
organizations holding picnics and
festivals. Do not be afraid to
try these formulas as all the lead
ing hotels and restaurants are
using these substitutes with great
success.

Roadside Markets.

In certain localities along the
main highways of the State there
are splendid opportunities for the
development of roadside markets
where farmers can sell their sur
plus vegetables and fruits right
on the farm. If your farm is
situated on a good road where
there is very heavy automobile
traffic and if you have vegetables
and fruits for sale, have you ever
considered trying to dispose of
those products at a profit without
taking time to 90 to market?
Some well located farms in
Pennsylvania, and numerous 9TH
ers in Maryland. New Jersey
and Long Island are dlsposing of
their entire surplus of vegetables
and fruits through some type of
roadside market. To be able to
sell products to advantage with
out taking mans time from the
farm is particularly desirable dur
ing the present shortage of la
Dor, and roadside markets where
the women and children can do
the selling, provide such an out
let.
A sign along the road stating
that you have vegetables or fruit
for sale; a simple but attractive
sheltered display of the products,
or a combination of signs and
displays will be all the advertis-
ing that should be necessary to
tempt the passing automobiles.
This automobile trade usually de-
mands the best quality of pro-
ducts and is willing to pay good
prices for well graded and packed
goods. Make every effort to
establish a name for the relia-
bility and quality of your prod
ucts and they will sell them
selves.
If your farm is properly locat-
ed on well travelled automobile
road and you think you would
like to try out roadside market,
write the Bureau of Markets of
the Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture for further informa-
ton.

BOMBING PLANES

NOhhiANo hAN'Ny ShDN OA'-''
There were no aerial bombing
organizations in the allied fly
ing corps during the first year of
the war. Practically all the work
in the air was in the nature of
observation. No pilots could be
spared for anything else. To-
day probably 25 per cent. of.the
aerial arms are bombing squad
rons of IL machines per squadron.
The first bombing wss done by
volunteer pilots who flew over
the German lines and dropped
three or four bombs, made from
artillery shells, on concentration
camps, and cantonments. Show
ers Of small steel arrows were
spilled sometimes on conveys,
troop trains, and bodies of mas
sed men. The Germans began
day bombing of cities in 1915, and
the allies bombarded Karlsruhe
in reprisal later in the same
year. Since then evolution in
organized bombing developed
rapidly and the French began
night bombing, but this was not
undertaken by the Germans un-
August, 1916,
At the present time large
groups. including several squad
rons of bombing machines go
over the lines from time to time
and completely destroy their OBJ
jective, be it a city or camp, a
column of troops, or a trench
system. Unfortunately the
allies air forces have to travel
for many miles over hostile terri
tory defended by anti.aircraft
guns to attack German cities,
while the enemy can attack
French cities by flying only a
short distance beyond the allied
lines.
The allies are developing large
bombing planes which carry
sufficient fuel for long excursions
and armament to protect them
when they are attached by fight
ing airplanes. Bombing squad
rons are escorted usually over the
lines by fast fighting squadrons
of 18 planes to a squadron, and
then left to their own devices for
the fighters seldom carry suffi-
cient fuel to permit them to ac-
company the bombers on the
round trip.
The dropping of the bomb is
similar to shooting rifle. First,
you set your sights and wind
gauge, you hold the rifle proper
ly, and finally you pull the trigger
at the proper moment. If your
ammunition is standard, your
sights correct, you hit the target.
So with bombing. If you set
your sights correctly, fly your
plane correctly over the objective
and drop the bomb at the proper
time you will hit the target. If
the Ammunition manufacturers
gave you good bombs the OBJ
jective will be destroyed.

AS the evening progressed. the
merriment of the party increased until
the climax was reached when about
