THE pEopIE WILL REMEMBER

A demand for a half-holiday on
Saturua, slves the boiler makers an
excuse to strike. In one ship yard
on the Pacific coast 5000 were thus
enabled to walk out.
1t involves sacred right to loaf
half day on Saturday and then draw
double pay for overtime on Sunday:
Such system is service rendered
the kaiser and fastens the tentacies
of an industrial dictatorship on the
neck of the helpless American nation
We can whip the huns. give de-
mocracy to the world and save the
belgium babies but we are helpless
before the boiler-makers autocracy.
But there is long day OF reckoning
coming when the patriotic people OF
our country will remember those VINO
held them up in their hours OF need
when boiler-makers will not be
dictators. It's a long lane which has
no turn.

he brought in are whoppers.
Mr.. Schroeder has raised quite a
nice lot this season, and altho they

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS


Each and every weekly
newspaper in the United States
has received definite orders
from the War Industries Board
as follows:
"NO publisher may continue
subscriptions after three
months after date OF expiration
unless subscriptions are renew
ed and paid for"
This order places all news
papers in the position that they
absolutely must collect their
subscription list up to date.
Therefore, we are going to
ask our subscribers to help us
out in this emergency by re-
mitting to us their subscription
within the next few days. The
scarcity of help, which has hit

guard, whose home is in Chicago. Da-
Wis died as he was being carried into

Bronze medals for all soldiers and
sailors who have served in the war
are authorized by a resolution adopt
ed by the Senate at Washington on
Thursday and sent to the House. Sen
ator Pittman of Nevada, read a letter
from President Wilson endorsing it.
A statement from the census bureau
establishes the fact that the recent
epidemic caused more deaths in this
country than occurred among the ex-
peditionary forces in Europe from all
causes up to the signing of the armis-
tice. 1t is estimated mortality from
influenza and resultant pneumonia
cost the life insurance companies
about $40,000,000 while the claims
paid by companies doing a health in
surance business amounted to hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. It is
not unlikely that some of the life
companies will have to draw on their
surplus accumulations to meet the in
creased charge.
Americas naval strength will be
about twice as great by 1920 as it was
in 1917, the year the United States en-
tered the world war, it was brought
out recently before the house naval
committee at Washington in consid-
ering the 1920 naval appropriation
bill. The total number of all ships
will be about 500 as compared with
300 in 1917. "a dreadnaughts will be
included in the 1920 fleet. There are
now nineteen and five will be built be-
for 1920. Three of the latter are now
nearing completion. $50 new de-
stroyers also will be completed by
that time.
American naval craft in European
waters fought forty-eight battles with
German submarines between May,
1917, and the ending of hostilities and
are believed to have sunk at least
twenty German U-boats as we'll as
damaging and putting out of action
many others. Destroyers, converted
yachts and submarine chasers took
part in these engagements. Ameri-
can naval officials are now checking
up with the Germans to determine
which vessels destroyed submarines
and which damaged U-boats. There
were some lively battles.

Got There Just The Same

Jesse Barnett, Roy Early, Claire
and Fred Hickman, and Harry
Swope-all of Wells Valley, were
ordered to appear before the local
examining board last Friday, and
as the roads were bad, Harry
Spangler felt that he would only
be doing small bit toward win
ming the war for Democracy, by
hitching up a pair of his good
sturdy farm horses to'a sled and
taking the boys in to McConnells-
burg. This worked all right un-
til they reached the Lincoln High
way, where the snow had been
scraped off; but not to be outdone,
they commandeered Howard Hol'
linshead's big motor truck atHar.
risonville, and reached McCon-
nellsburg in good time for exam
ination and a good dinner.

Early Hatchiug Profitable.

One OF the serious drawbacks
to profitable poultry keeping IN
Pennsylvania Is the late maturity
of pullets. Too many of our
chickens are Matched IN the
months Of May, June and july ard
do not come to maturity before
February or March when eggs
are cheapest. Successful poultry.
men throughout the State think
1t highly desirable to hatch their
chickens so that they will come
to maturity early IN the fall and
lay high priced eggs. Now is the
time to plan for winter eggs for
another year. In order to obtain
the highest Yields of eggs IN the
months of Novem Der, December
and January, H G. Knadel, of the
poultry extension department. OF
the Pennsylvania State College,
advises farmers to rely almost en-
tirely upon pullets. If these
pullets are hatched at the right
time and are good, vigorous
stock, they should be LAYING by
the first of Novem Der. OF the
heavier breeds, such as Wyan.
dottes, Rocks, and Reds, the
months of February and March
are found to be the most suitable
for lncu baton: In the case of
the Leghorns a great deal of sue.
cess has been attained by the
Matching of them IN February and
March so that they will lay by
the first OF September.
One can count upon their lay
ing through Septem Der, October
and Novem Der when the eggs are
highestin price and then, usu.
ally, they go into a noult in Dec.
EN- ber. However, this can be
overcome in some degree by
Matching out later brood so that
this brood can take the place Of
the chickens which are gong In
to moult Thus we can more
nearly attain definite egg pro.
ductlon through the entire year.
1t has been proved beyond a
doubt that quick growth means
less cost production OF both
eggs and meat and this quick
growth is seldom found IN late
hatched chickens.
