they go over the top. | never had
so much fun in my life as [ did
them few days. Ycuu can hear the
shrapnel shells coming quite always
away; they more than cut the air.
They just seem to whistle a tune

they hit real clos2 at their tails;
sometimes their ness, over them,

hardly ever hit one. Sometimes tn y

them back before they get very far.
If the artillreuy can't drive them
back th2re appears from enc to four
French planes from somewhere and
they soon get, but there is always
a trail of black and white smoke all

Our most danger is gas; but If we
put our masks on and keep them

safe.

MAKE YOUR OWN SUGAR.
Professor Holdcn, agr culture exrer
sys there should be no srgar sh"~t-
age in this country. The average fam
lily can reduce it's sugar bill 80 per
cent by raising only one 2O-foot row
of sugar beetss, he declares. And, he
says. every home can be its own re-
fi:1ery. A fair sized beet soaked in
water 20 minutes and then boiled
will make cup of thick sirup which
can be used for almost any ordli-
nary ssweetening purpose.

the July shipments, but declared
they have increased considerably in
size, and will continue to- do so the
next two months. The fact that the
country's anthracite has been ship
ped into the longsuffering New Eng
land states is. the reason given for
the stingy shipments to this part of
the country, Mr.. Hickok says. AS
the New England states have now
received half their allotment, the
anthracite committee will now turn
its attention to Harrisburg's needs.
Orders Untitled
The dealers had orders for 49,
94S tons of domestic size anthracite
on their books July 1. A total OF
2S,4S0 tons had been shipped since
April 1. and the total number of tons
ordered was las, ,42S tons between
April 1 and June l. The July fig-
ures when available will swell the
total. OF S2,S99 tons ordered during
June alone, 1876 tons We're deliver

New Prices
With the increase in freight rates,
increases in coal prices have been
