THE BUCKS COUNTY
w. C. T. u. CONVENTION

The thirty-third annual con-
vention of the Bucks County
w. G. T. U. was held at Rich
boro on Tuesday, with represen-
tatives from the seventeen un-
ions and four Y. BIS in the Co.
In each of the eighteen depart
ments of work much has been
accomplished especially along
the lines of legislation, frani-
chise, press,and soldiers and
sailors departments--which' last
comes under Red Cross work,
rs does much of thefower mis-
sion and relief work of the year
The women rejoiced that 80
states are under pronlultlon
law, while these do not include
five out of the fourteen States
which have ratified the Feder-
al prohibition amendment.
From all of these states come
accounts of vastly improved
conditions under abe dry re-
gime. One of these, fro n the
Seattle Times" we puote:
"Ice cream vendors have fol-
lowed the milk peddlers to Sc
atle ship building plants. With
the addition of ice cream I'd the
lunch bill of fare the shipbuild-
2rs become the heaviest con-
sumers of dairy products in
the city. The milk demand
has been so heavy some days
that dealers have been unable
to supply it. 1t might be sup
posed that ice cream would take
the place of milk, but the ship
builders do not look at it that
way. They want both, and
and every noon there is a long
procession of shipbuilders with
4 bottle of milk in one hand and
IN ice cream cone in the other.
There was agoodly attendance
and much enthusiasm manif. s.
ted in the work that is being
accomplished.

GET RETURNS FROM POULTRY
On Many Farms Products From Fowls
Can Be Counted on as Practically
Clear Profit.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The farmer who raises the ordinary
grains and keeps some live stock has
perhaps the greatest opportunity that
has ever come to him for making
profit from poultry. The possibilities
for profit are perhaps not so large as
they used to be for the special poultry
farmer, and that fact may have led
some general farmers to believe that
the situation applies In some way to
them; but there exists just here an
unusual paradox. The very conditions
that may make poultry and egg pro-
duction losing enterprise on the spe-
clalized poultry farm tend to make 1t
an increasingly gainful one for the
general farmer. Where nearly all
of his feed has to be bought at high
prices, the margin between cost OF pro-
duction and proceeds from sale be-
comes extremely narrow, but where
practically all of the poultry feed Is
made up of waste materials that would
otherwise not be utilized In any man
ner, the percentage of profit becomes
very much larger when prices are
high than 1t ever could have been
when prices were low. Poultry on
the farm obtain a very great part OF
their feed by foraglng, by cleaning the
waste from stable yards and feeding
lots, by consuming the scraps from the
kitchen door, by preying upon insect
pests In pasture and field, and In
only relatively small deg ee from
grain or other commodities that would
be marketable. A farmer whose poul-
try is fed in this way may count
all of the money received for eggs
and surplus poultry as practically
clear profit. When, therefore, eggs
and poultry are selling at higher prices
than have usually been obtainable, the
farmers margin of profit without ex-
penditure Is very greatly Increased.
1t is, therefore, to the farmers Of
the country that the nation must look
for the greater part of She immedi-
ate increase of poultry products which
will make 1t possible to supply our
own army and navy with red meats
and at the same time furnish the allies
with the animal foods they need.

Letter From DIR. Sylvester.

John r. Schenck has received
a letter from DIR. P. B.Silvester,
a fomer veterinarian of Lam
bertville, now with the fighting
forces in France, in which he
says, among other things:
ut is quite different to read
about it or to be in it. | was in
it on two fronts--one front at
the start; then we were shifted
and helped on another front.
We sure gave it to them so hot
that the prisoners wanted to
see our new automatic cannon.
Didn't believe it when we told
them it was only ordinary can
non firing, and workd with or
dinary American speed.
81 saw men killed and helped
carry some back that fell by my
side. No one was safe for a
moment within six miles of the
line. Cannon shells were fly
ing everywhere, it seemed.
"We kept our infantry right
on the line, and when the Ger
mans came just cut them down
in rows. They seemed drunk
or doped, because they came up
out of their first trenches with
their rifles on their backs and
just kept on coming in masses
until they were lying dead in
walls two or three high. They
couldn't seem to grasp the idea
that we were more than prepar-
ed and no living thing could
possibly walk over us. They
expected to scare us by sheer
numbers, l guess, but we only
laughed and shot them down.
"Then, on the Chateau-Thery
front we started to move. Well,
to try to picture that in words
is impossible. Our cannoneers
actually shot so many shells it
plowed the fields up so a chippy
bird couldn't live. At that as
we came back we found nests of
Boche machine gunners with
their deadly weapons waiting
for us.Our boys outwitted them
and soon put them to flight as
you know. Dead horses, Ger
mans, French and Americans
laid all over the fields. The ma
terial the Germans left behind
them would have equipped an
army. Also, our boys report
burying two or three German
women, who must have been
fighting right with the troops.
81 am well, and as happy as
one can be over here. Had one
or two close calls but never hit
once, thankful to say. Am now
way back and resting. Didn't
have my clothes off for about a
month and slept just where we
could--mostly underground, in
dugouts, like woodchucks in
holes. Each hole was about 7
by 8 feet, and one or two of us
slept in them.
"Have been promoted to first
lieutenant, with a word of ap-
probation of my work with the
horses. Have had real good luck
with my doctoring, and few
deaths. Have found a couple of
good young men to help me.
They work hard and so we have
our stock looking pretty good.
"Give my regards to all those
l know in Lambertville; especi-
ally tell Mrs. Barber | am well
and hope to come over and get
one of her good meals some
day. I'll try to find time to
write to her before long. Re-

He weighed l65 lbs., and ieD off until he weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
 He became constipated and it looked like he would die. We had three diifeTeni doctors, yet with all their mI iicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink it two or three days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered so. He was swol- len terribly.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE SAN QUENTIN FRONT, Oct. l, (By the Associated Press )-Before the American advance the Germans litter ed the country with tank mines, appar- ently anticipating withdrawal. Scores of British-made tanks, many Of them manned by American crews are cooperating in the American advance. One of these rolled over a mine and was blown up, one casualty resulting. The others got through and did splen- did execution.
 These American tank crews were trained in England and had been wait ing behind the front for the attacks. : They rolled along before the infantry and directly in the rear of a creeping barrage and cleared many machine gun nests.
 After the manner of the British, the Americans drove their machines right on top of the Germans, crushing down men, guns and nests. Some of the crews came out of the fight with their tractors dripping with blood showing how completely they had accomplish ed the task assigned to them.

 A dispatch received here today from Budapest quotes the newspapers of that city as saying that a crown coun- cil was held Saturday at which mili- tary measures that had become neces- sary as a result of Bulgarias action were taken to guarantee an effective defense, but the government still was striving at the earliest possible mo. ment in agreement with Germany, to secure a peace that would absolutely preserve the monarchy's territorial in- tegrity.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-The loss of the Bulgarians to the Central Alliance is regarded by the London morning pa pers as foreshadowing the end of the great four years tragedy. The edl torial writers for the most part are unable to see how Turkey can avoid the Bulgarian lead, while some believe that Austria-Hungary must do the same.
 For Germany it is held that the surrender spells ruin to her hopes in the middle east and her aspirations of world empire.
 We have come to a solemn moment in this greatest of all wars and in the long process of civilization" says the Times. Tt is no time for exulta- tion, but we may recognize in this great event the first clear, unmistak- able presage that the cOnfederacy of our enemies is tottering to its fall.

NUMBERS FOR
 DRAFT DRAWN
Rv Review I,eased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Oct With the completion today of the third great military lottery since the nation went to war, machinery of the provost mar shal generals office was set in mo- ton to check the master list and mail copies to the 155 district draft boards over the country which are to make
 them immediately available to the newspapers within their area and to post them for the public. Present plans were to begin the mailing tomorrow.
 The last of the 17.000 numbers which determined the order in their respective classes of the 13,000,000 men who registered September 12 was taken from the big glass bowl in the caucus room of the senate office build ing at exactly o'clock this morning. Provost Marshal General CrOwder drew out the capsule which contained number 12.734. The drawing which was started at noon yesterday by President Wilson, has been completed in six hours less than the estimated time due to a race which developed between the shifts of young officers charged with the drawing.
 During the first check of the tally sheets today only one number was found displaced. The correction was easily made from the tally wires on which the actual sslip of paper bear ing the numbers had been strung af- ter being removed from the capsules. Crowder stayed with the work CTS during the entire 20 hour period and the drawing was watched by a constantly changing, but never large audience.
 Time of the receipt of the master lists by district boards will be gov erned by their distance from Wash ington. Newspapers must make their own arrangements for securing copies of the lists from the boards.
 When General Crowder took the last capsule from the bowl today, or der numbers had been given to ap proximately 24,O00,0OO registrants. Numbers for the first 9,0O0.O00 reg istrants were drawn in July 20, 1917, and those for the nearly 100000 youths turning 21, before last June 5, were drawn June 27.
