WHERE TO BUY

n RIDER your Thrift Stamps from
your letter carrier, is the ad-
vice of Postmaster Frank C.
Sites, and unless you are pledged to
purchase from some other agency
the mail man is the most conven-
lent means of supplying yourself with
the stamps you owe it to yourself
and the government to buy. The
letter carrier not only brings the
stamps to your door in any quantity
you may desire, but he is striving
for a prize to be awarded If he is
among the leading postoffice stamp
statesmen at the close of the year
Help yourself, help Uncle Sam and
help the faithful mail carrier all al
the same time.

HELP THE FARMERS

TT was a rule with Captain John
Smith in the early days of Eng
lish settlement in this country
that "he who will not work may not
eat" and it may easily happen that
next winter, unless we work on the
farms this summer we may not eat
as much as we need to keep down
the pangs of hunger.
The farmer is in the midst of his
harvest season. He will be very
busy man for the remainder of the
summer AID autumn, but from now
until the hay, wheat, rye and oats
are all safely housed and the corn
worked beyond the stage where
weeds and grass can retard the crop,
he will not only be busy but very
anxious as well. For not only has
he larger paintings than usual of
almost all staples, but his labor sup
ply is away below normal. In short,
he has more work than ever to do,
and fewer men to do it. We are
asked to help him in order that he
may provide us with the food we
must have.
There is no reason why the plan
of those back of the movement for
an increase of farm workers cannot
be materialized. Thousands of city
men came from the farms and many
of them could give a day or two to
farm work the coming summer But
the effort must be carefully organ
lied and skilfully handled or it may
do more harm than good. Volun-
teers there will be in plenty if the
project is given proper publicity and
is we'll arranged.

Booze and PrO-Germanisn1

N1ARGING that the outstanding
enemies in this country to the
- winning of the war are the brew
ers and the German-American AL
lance, Wayne B. Wheeler, general
counsel for the Anti-Saloon League
of America, in an address at the
Illinois Ratification Convention, in
the arsenal at Springfield, ILL.,, Fri
day, June 4, said that when the food
bill first came up in the House at
Washington, majority adopted the
provision to prevent the waste of
food in making liquor during the
war. 1t went to the Senate, the ma
jority of the Senate favored it and
the nation was overwhelmingly for
it. A few champions of the beer
trade threatened to kill the vital food
legislation by filibuster unless the
beer provision was eliminated. Be-
cause of preliminary advantage
which they had, they forced the beer
provision out.
Mr.. Wheeler continued:
THE national food administration
tells us that food will win the war.
Patriots save it by the crumb, and
brewers waste it by the ton. Forty
million bushels of food material are
wasted every year in making beer.
Transportation facilities should
be Increased so as to speed up war
activities. The brewers use more than
100000 cars year to carry on their
harmful industry.
Fuel is vital to victory to run the
factories and send the ships with
supplies. The brewers are using at
least 100000 tons a year to make
beer and it slows down the energy of
the people when it is needed to be at
high speed.
Field, factory and farm are Grip
pied for want of labor and man.
power. The liquor industry had posed
for years that it is employing almost
a million men. This man-power, if
put into useful, productive indus
tries, will help instead of hinder the
war.
The connection between the
brewers and the disloyal German
American Alliance, damaging and
conclusive, was revealed in the hear
ing before the subcommittee of the
Senate Judiciary.
THE German Alliance has been
proved to be pro-German, anti
American and un-American. Its

HARMONIOUS GATHERING

THE meeting of the Dauphin
County Republican committee
to-day was in marked contrast
with that of the Democratic commit
tee of a few days since. The gather
ing, characterized as it was by en-
tire harmony of thought and action,
is the forerunner of a big Repub-
lican vote at the general elections in
the Fall. Dauphin county may be
counted upon to do even better by
Senator Sproul this year than it did
for any of the Republican candidates
for Governor in recent contests,
which is saying much.
The reelection of William H.
Horner as county chairman, puts at
the head of the committee a man
well-known in all parts of the dis
trict and experienced in the con-
duct of campaigns. Mr.. Horner has
the respect and confidence of every
member of the committee. He is
thoroughly competent for the vast
detail caused by modern methods
of canvassing and has always been a
staunch Republican. The same may
be said of the two vice-chairmen,
James e. Lentz, who has the conf
dence of the voters of all parties in
the upper end, and Mark Mumma,
than whom there is no better known
Republican in the southern section
of the county. The same may be
said of AL. S. Cooper who through
many changes of political conditions
and leadership has been retained
for many years by the committee as
its efficient secretary.

FRANCE CALLS TO ME
BY Harry Webb Harrington

Across the sea
There comes the call
OF France to me.
hear the mufIied. tender sound
OF little children, underground,
Denied, bereft of everything:
The right to play, to learn, and sing.
Dear little child
Across the sea,
I'll come to sing
And play with thee.
From over there.
/ hear the call
From France in prayer:
The women calling for their mate,
Now widowed by the Huns of Hate
Brides, homeless, childless, all alone.
Are brooding DER a pile of stone.
Heroic souls,
I'll come to share
Thy bitter grief
And blind despair.
From over sea,
There comes sad sound
From France to me:
The painful peal of broken bells.
Now shattered by Sata mic shells;
The war-sick wind. that walls and
whines
Through battered walls of sacred
shrines
o House of Prayer,
Where Gods yet found
I'll help to heal
Thy wicked wound.
w
Beyond the Seine,
l hear the cry
OF France in pain:
The shrieks from shell-hole, trench,
and wire,
Men crazed by gas and liquid-fire;
Dumb agonies from No Mans Land,
Low groans beneath the surgeons
hand.

Where evils reign,
Thy call to me

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE

Song of fair May morning,
When the sky is bluer than blue
And the white clouds floating across

Seem almost too white to be true,
When the air is sweet with clover,
And huns with the busy bee,
And across the gray salt marches,
The guns thunder out to the sea,
And the dead lie in rows
With their face to the foes
Only mile from me.

EXAMINATIONS START SOON
Physicians of County to Have Monu-

$500 Registered Men Is Started
Few Missing Men Being Found.

Registered men in Kenosha who have
been worrying over the fact that they
have not as yet received the call for
physical examination under the ques-
tionnaire system must be patient. At
the Office of the Local Board this
morning it was stated that the orders
for physical examination of all regis
tered men would be sent out Just as
soon as possible and it is probable that
the first of the cards for examination
will be sent out the first of next week.
It will be impossible for the local
board to complete the work of classify
ing the registrants before some time i'll
the future as all of the men have five
days in which to file appeals from the
classification given to them by the
board. Many final classification cards
were sent out today. These went to
men who had not fled an appeal from
the order Of the board placing them
in one class or another within the five
days allowed. A few men are demand
ing a reopening of appeals holding that
they answered the QUESTIONABLE with
out knowing just what it ali meant and
they have since discovered that they
have dependents which would place
them in deferred classifcations.
Regardless Of the classification Of the
registrant he must sooner or later sub
nit to the Medical examination.
The examining physicians in the city
and county are going to have Monu.
mental job on their hands as all of
the $500 men must be submitted for
examination. 1t is expected that Sc.
veral weeks will be taken up with these
examinations.
The police are being kept close on the
trail of the men who have failed to
return the QUESTIONABLE and few of
these men have been brought in from
day to day.
