Costly Food Not Always Best.

The nutritive value of an article of
food and its price seldom have any
relation to each other. An expensive
cut of beef is not necessarily any
more sustaining than cheap one. 1t
usually tastes better or can be cook
ed by easier methods. But care in
cooking and seasoning will make IN
expensive meats attractive and much
better than costly ones poorly pre-
pared. With fruits and vegetables
the price is often determined by the
season. A vegetable out of season,
is much more expensive than one in
season, but it is no more nutrtive.

ganization in Harrisburg of a new
and unique association known as the
Patriotic League, created originally
through the medium of the Y. w. c.
A. Mrs. William Jennings is chair
man of the local branch and she will
be backed by able men and women

In many respects the Patriotic
League parallels the objects and
ideals of the Boy Scouts. 1t is de-
nigned especially for girls who
pledge themselves to true patriotism
and high standards of character and
to help others do the same The
girls look after one another and
take the spirit of the pledge into
their daily work. their special serv-
ice work. their Red Cross work and
their home duties.
The Patriotic League will be
launched with a great jubilee occa-
sion, to which noted speakers have
already been invited. All the civic
activities in Harrisburg are busy
now spreading the information about
this league and getting all groups
interested.

Walter M. Ebel Says
Arkansas Farmers Are
Varying Their Crops

Walter NJ. Ebel. son of Fred NJ.
Ebel, well-known retired hotelman,
of this city, is in Harrisburg to-day
on his way from Washington to Lit
tie Rock, Ark. Mr.. Ebel is in charge
of the publicity division of the food
administration of Arkansas and is re-
turning from attending the national
conference of food administration
officials with Mr.. Hoover in Wash
ington last week.
arkansas farmers have been
awakened to the need of crop varia-
tons. Our southern farmers are no
longer conflning themselves to cot
ton. They have reached a stage
W here you could build a Chinese wall
about Arkansas and our farmers
would be able to feed themselves and
the rest of the population and still
have some to spare. AS we were
told in Washington, wheat flour is
the prime necessity now, but the con-
ference simply went wild when Mr..
Hoover said that with proper regula-
tion of foodstuffs and economy of
beef, pork and wheat we can hold
out without any suffering for fifteen
years of war if need be-
Mr.. Ebel is the guest of his par
onts to-day and will return to Ar
kansas tonight to resume his du-
ties.

Sproul and O'Neil nominating pc
tons made their appearance to-day
in Harrisburg and there Were re-
ports that Congressman John r. Is.
Scott's petitions would be coming
along in a few days, The petitions
were privately printed and followed
the forms of the State Department.
The Sproul petitions were in charg >
of men active in Republican affairs
in Harrisburg. not connected with
the executive end Of the state gov
ornment, and some men of independ-
ent tendencies. Quite a number of
signatures were regarded as secured.
o'Neils petitions were in the hands
OF men connected with Capitol de-
partments under the Governor and
they were told to have them ready
by April 1. The ONeil petitions
were passed out to all departments
except Auditor General, State Treas
urer, Secretary of Internal Affairs
and the Senate and House, which are
rot under the Governor. Each de-
pdrtinent was given bundle, care
fully numbered and men were picked
TO circulate them. This is said to
have been done by direction of Pri-
vate Secretary Ball, who was not
here to-day. In any event, the EX-
ecutive Department was declared to
have arranged for the circulation of
the papers. In accord with custom,
men will be sent to their homes to
set papers signed up, so that there
will be a showing from all counties.
One of the reports was that as
each man in the Department of Pub
lie Grounds and Buildings drew his
pay he got a petition and orders to
get it signed up. Superintendent G..
!. ,Shreiner denied this, but admitted
that some of the men had petitions.
Commissioner O'Neil was not here
to-day. He is due tomorrow. Gov
ernor Brumbaugh is not here, either.

MUCH WHEAT IS
HELD ON FARMS
State Authorities Say That the
Amount Is at Least One
Fourth of the Crop

At least one quarter of the 1917
wheat crop is estimated by men con-
nected with the State Department of
Agriculture, who have been studying
the grain problem to be in the hands
OF growers in spite of calls by ma
tional and state officials to owners
to place ii on the market. In the
last two weeks attempts have been
made in every county to ascertain
the wheat unsold and the reports in
dicate a larger percentage than us
ual is held on the farms. In some
instances, it is reported that, the
weather prevented il being sent out.
Between thirty and forty per cent
of the 1912 potato crop is also pe-
ing held on the farms. it is said at
the department and almost daily
farmers who have been inquiring,
have been urged to sell their crops.
Numerous instances of potatoes be-
inE frosted and of inability of farm
crs tc move their crops before the
early winter began have been re-
ported.
Damage to corn through freezing
is also reported as more extensive
than started early in the year. ana
the demands for seed corn have
been very heavy.
1t is expected by the Departm. mt
OF Agriculture that the orders for
the tractors to he bought by the
state. will be placed tomorrow and
early delivery will be one of the con-
ditions.
