Eve Kill or Are Killed"
NEW York Evening Sum- !

tNew York Evening SUM- ,
The Germans have discovered that
the ideal of the American soldier is
summed up in the phrase: I'VE kill
or are killed" They admit that their
experience of encounters with our
troops proves this no vain boast. Our
men are not soft fighters; they do
not hold up their hands and howl
"Kamerad!" when outnumbered or
surprised. And they realize that 1t
is fight to the death. They prefer
death to capture.
The casualty lists bear out the ac-
curacy of this diagnosis. The total
of those missing in action, including
prisoners, is only a little over 450.
out of $500 casualties reported.
When their full weight is felt by
the enemy he is likely to realize that
the end is certain and that, in due
time, sentence will be executed upon
him. I'VE kill or are killed." and
most of us are not going to be kill

AN EVENING THOUGHT

I'VE will never bring disgrace to
this our city by any act of dishop-
esty or cowardice, nor ever desert
our suffering comrades in the ranks
We will light for the ideals and
sacred things of the city, both alone
and with many; we will revere and
obey the city's laws and do our best
to incite a like respect and rever-
ence in those above us who are prone
to annul or set them at naught: we
will strive increasingly to quicken
the public's sense of civic duty.
Thus in all these ways we will trans-
NIT this city not only not less but
greater, better and more beautiful
than 1t was transmitted to u.s.

NEW IDEALS

War is in itself damnable = a
misuse of the accumulated
brain-stuff of centuries. Neverthe-
less, there's many a man who has
no love of war, who previous to the
war had cramped his soul with lit
tleness and was chased by the bay
onet of duty into the blood-stained
largeness of the trenches, who has
learnt to say, Thank God for this
war" He thanks God not because
of the carnage, but because when the
winepress of new ideals was being
trodden, he was born in an age when
he could do his share.-Coningsby
Dawson in The Glory of the Trench

A SUGGESTION

n OCCASIONALLY in the mail thai
comes in such generous quanti.
ties to the desk of an editor
there is a suggestion containing the
germ of an idea that might be work.
ed out with great practical value
to the community OF this class is
the following:
Sitting on a park bench, the
other evening, between band con-
cert numbers 1 engaged a gen.
tleman in conversation, who gave
me an idea of his own which 1
believed worthy of consideration
at the hands of the School Board.
We were talking of our war gar
dens and the need of more help on
the farm. and my new-found
dens could be made much more
productive and the farmers be
greatly assisted during harvest
season. at least, If the city would
teach farming in the public
purchase of thirty or forty-acre
farm on the outskirts of the city
for demonstration and study pur-.
poses. where high school students
so desiring could go for a course
in agricultural training during
acquiring sufficient knowledge of
scientific farming in a practical
way to make them valuable as
war garden advisers in the city,
or take up farm work during va
cation in an intelligent manner.
He said he is a practical farmer,
and that he knows the right man
on such a farm could make it
earn all the expenses of operat-
ing. taxes and teachers or su-
perintendents' salary. Will you
please give this matter publica-
tion in order that our school au-
thorities may have opportunity of
giving 1t thought2
The State school code makes
provision for agricultural study IL
high schools, but few of those IL
cities have seized upon the .op
portunity. There is, however,
growing interest in agriculture IL
the cities. THE time has come whei
our young men will turn from tn
cities to the farm rather than from
the farms to the cities" said a farm
authority recently, and his view

youths are being educated as scien
tiflc farmers.

HE DIED FOR FREEDOM
GAIN is the war brought

A GAIN is the war brought home
n to Harrisburg. With the death
of Corporal w. o. Corner. as
the result of a wound on the field of
battle in France. the city realizes
more keenly than ever that its young
men in arms are making sacrifices
beside which the trifling hardships
of us who remain at home are as
nothing. THE supreme price is be-
ing paid in the front line trenches"
said John r. Mott the other day,
"and our Liberty Bond investments
and our Red Cross and Y. NJ. c. A.
contributions count small beside
them" We who are not under arms
should be ashamed to complain when
men die so gallantly in the great
cause we as a people have espoused.
Our all is so little as compared with
the very least of their sacrifices.
There is a patriotic story in this
latest tragedy that should prove a
lesson to all of us. Corporal Corner
was of draft age. He had a wife and
he might have asked for deferred
, classification. But like the patriotic
citizen he was he waived that claim
and with the consent of his young
wife, put on the uniform and march
ed away soon after war was declar-
ed, while she who had given him up
went to work in an office as a means
of livelihood during his absence.
Who are we-men or women
that we should stand back while our
neighbors are offering. themselves
thus on the altar of the country?
There is something for each OF us
to do. Neither Corporal Corner nor
his devoted young wife had to be
urged. They saw their duty and
they did it. How about yourself?

THE HOSPITAL REPORT

-HE annual report of the Harris
burg Hospital, showing that
it has done more work under
the stress of war conditions than in
peace times, indicates the growing
Importance of that institution. The
hospital is performing a vital service
in the community. It reaches not
only Harrisburg but the country for
miles around. Its doors are open to
the suffering of all the towns and
the whole countryside roundabout
1t should be and is supported by the
contributions of many benevolent
people throughout Central Pennsyl-
vania.
The hospital is nearly always
crowded to capacity. The problem
of room is pressing and grows with
the years. Among the big tasks the
city faces at the conclusion of the
war is the erection of a new hos
pital. The old structure is delight
fully located so far as the river front
is concerned, but the increasing ac-
tivity of the railroad which fianks it
makes the site anything but desirable.
from the standpoint of calm and
quiet.
1t would appear, also, that the
city and the county should have a
big hand in the erection of the new
hospital when the time arrives. and
that it should be a municipal-con-
trolled institution. Private charity.
assisted to small degree by corporate
contributions and public appropria-
tions, has maintained the Harrisburg
Hospital ever since it's inception, and
hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been given by generous people
for the building and maintenance of
the institution. But the time is past
when sick or injured should be de-
pendent upon charity. 1t is the duty
of the whole community to bear the
burden and an equitable arrange
ment could be worked out to that
end by the city, the county and cor
porations desiring to maintain beds
in a publicly-owned hospital. The
trend of the times is all in this di-
rection and both city and county Of
ficials should give the subject am
pie consideration over a period OF
the next few years. in order to be
ready when the time for action
comes.

Not "SpurIos" This Time

[From Toronto Mail and Empire1
Germany's impudent assertion
that the Canadian hospital ship was
sunk by a mine, probably a Brit
ish mine, is an indication that the
instructions to, the captain of the
U-boat were to sink the vessel with
out leaving a trace. His error in
permitting one boatload of those

him into serious trouble with the

REGULATING DOUGHNUTS

forbidden the making of dough-

such regulation in America until
it was discovered that fully nine
tenths of all quick lunch fiends would

sole diet, the sinker. So the food
administrator compromised by order
ing reduction in size. But the bakers

In discussion of the situation, the
New York Evening Sun. says:

New York. Evening Sun. says:
When the final collapse comes.
1t will probably be due to eco
nomic rather than to military
weakness. 1t will result from
the wearing out of railways and
rolling stock, the lack of raw ma
terials and food, the shortage or
the labor supply, the deteriora-
ton of machinery in the factories;
in short, the impossibility of keep
ing going the wheels of industry.
That the German armies are
still capable of striking hard
blows is no indication that the ma
ton is not facing disaster in the
near future. Economic weakness
would naturally manifest itself
last of all upon the battlefront In
our Civil War, at the very time
that Lee was fighting success
fully at Spotsylvania and Cold
Harbor, the Confederates were in
terrible economic straits. rev
weeks later they were forced to
surrender. Events in Europe will
probably take a similar course.
The Germans may struggle on for
months. perhaps for years, but the
final internal breakdown is IN
evitable.
There is no doubt anywhere OF
the smashing of the carefully-buil'
machinery and everywhere the
signs are multiplying of the certain
fate of an inhuman oligarchy.

CHICKEN FAT VALUABLE.

Do you throw away the body fat of
poultry-big layers of clean, sweet,
yellow fat around the gizzard and
found elsewhere around the intes-
tines Of the chicken? If you do, say
specialists Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, you are
throwing away fat which French
housewives consider the finest Of fats
for making cakes and especially puff
paste, and which many American
housekeepers prize for its many good
uses in cookery. In certain seasons
in New York and other big cities this
fat is so highly esteemed that it
brings as much as S1.10 per pound.
So great is the demand for this fat
that many people make a business
of collecting it from butchers and
others who dress poultry before de-
livering it to customers. Housewives
would do we'll to insist on having it
delivered if thew buy their poultry
dressed. By using chicken fat in
cooking they can cut down the
amount Of fat they must buy for
that purpose. To prepare it. fry it

REGULATING HENS
EXERCISE.

In practice it is found that if a
hen gets about half of the daily "a
ton with little effort, and the rest
with moderate effort, she will be
well-fed and at the same time take
exercise enough to keep her in good
physical condition.
AS a rule, the mash-whether
moist or dry-constitutes from one
third to one-half of the ration. This
being fed in troughs or hoppers, the
hens get without exercise. In eat
ing th7 grain fed in litter fowls at
first get it with little effort. As
the supply diminishes they must
search more and more to find what
remains.
Under this condition i IS neces-
sary to feed grain more literally in
deep litter than in shallow litter;
otherwise the supply would run SC
low at times that the hens would
have hard work to get it as fast a:
they should. The feeder is guided as
to quantity Of grain to give by OBJ
serving how the hens eat the mash
and by occasionally examining thu
floor to see whether grain is accu
mulating in the litter.
