Stolen at Chambersburg

Chambersburg, Pa, Aug. 22.-On
Monday afternoon the home of
James A. Hamilton, In Philadelphia
avenue. was robbed by sneak thief.
Nine rings, a gold wrist watch and
some money were taken. These ar
ticles were gathered from two bed
rooms. 1t is believed that the aru-s ,
cles were taken by a man who had
been camping at Red Bridge park
for several days. The man, with his
family, was travelling in a dilapidated
Ford car, with Virginia license. For
several days the man had been em-
ployed by residents of Philadelphia
avenue in cleaning chimneys and
making slight repairs. 1t is now be-
lieved that the man took this method
to gain entrance to homes and to ar
range his schedule for robbing. The
man with his family left Red Bridge
on Monday evening.

OUR BOYS

The transports are speeding under
broad, white sails,
With soldiers and sailors Drawing
storms and heavy gales,
Among the blue waves plays a
beckoning Lorelei-
Though the boys are in danger they
will just sail their way
And on the cunning Fritz and treach-
erous submarine,
Keep a wary eye with a determined
mien.
For Flag and for Country they will
fight across the sea,
For the U. S. A. Eagle the Preusser
must bend knee,
Our Army and Navy will serve them
with a gun
The foe in the battle to be sent on
the run,
AS Americans of yore united for vic
tory
They shall conquer the Kaiser with
all of Germany.

THE TEST

You say you're patriotic, and al
though you cannot fight,
Wheneer the flag is carried by, you
cheer with all your might.
But when a contribution for the SOL
der boys is sought.
Dou you act as patriotic as you real
ly think you ought?
We often hear you telling Of the
things you'd gladly do,
If conditions wetre but different, and
no doubt they all are true;
But then they send the boys in
France the things you like to
eat,
Do you groul at Herbie Hoover or are
you keeping sweet?
We're glad to know you've purchased
bonds; you'll find it nice to
own
Those little scraps Of paper" when a
few short years have flown;
And when they issue bonds again,
dig deeper like man;
There's need for every patriot to do
the best he can.
Another way of helping, quite within
the reach Of all,
Provides a safe investment for your
savings, large or small,
Turn your quarters and your dollars
into Thrift and Savings Stamps
Lend your Uncle Sam the money, ant
he'll give the kaiser cramps.
You say you're patriotic? Just try I
simple test;
Are you gladly sacrificing-freel,
giving of your best?
If you really love your country. you'll
awake to meet her needs;
: And remember, love is measured, no
i, by words, but by our deeds

Old Age Cannot Wear Out
Its Shoes as ReckIessIy
As Does the Gay Youth

Preparing for easy old age is one of
the spurs that has transformed a
wholesome ambition into "vaulting
ambition that o'erleaps ITSELF" Many
man has shortened his life overwork-
ing to take care of the old age that he
thus snuffed out, observes writer in
the Minneapolis Journal. Any man is
remiss who does not prepare against
old age, but nature has also taken a
hand in this preparation.
Old age cannot wear out its shoes as
recklessly as does youth. The normal
old man finds better entertainment in
meditation than he could in expensive
amusement. Memory is his movie"
Society does not ask old people to burn
expensive midnight oil nor to appear
on dress parade. Thus normal and
gratifying reduction of outgo is equiva-
lent to an addition to the income.
Feverish preparation for old age i'm
plies the belief not only that the appe-
tite will not decrease with old age, but
that old age will be wholly helpless to
sustain itself. AS matter Of fact,
but a small proportion of the old are
totally disabled for gainful labor. And
few, If any, old people are as happy
when idle as when occupied with such
work as they are fitted to do.
The wise old man has learned what
as foolish young man he failed to
see. that enough is as good as a
feast" and that after all "man wants
but little here below"

ENEMIES TO CONTROL MOTHS
Most Effective Foes Are caIosoma

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Everything possible to introduce and
encourage parasites and natural enc
mics Of the gypsy moth and brown-tail
moth is now being done by the bureau
Of entomology of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, in co-opera-
ton with the state of Massachusetts,.
Several natural enemies, secured from
Europe and Japan since 1905 have be-
come firmly established in this country
and are assisting in bringing about the
control of these species. The most eff
fective enemies of the gypsy moth and
brown-tail moth are the Calosoma
beetle, tachina fly, and minute four
winged parasite. Two tiny parasites
of the eggs of the gypsy moth also
have been colonized and are valuable
additions to the natural enemies of
this insect. The records at the gypsy
moth laboratory at Melrose Highlands,
Mass, Indicate that all of the species
of insect parasites mentioned have
been gradually increasing in the field
and that the results of their work are
very noticeable in certain restricted
areas.

Consumption of Sugar Goes
Up to "a Pounds Per Capita
Since Revolutionary Period

The American who during the
worlds greatest war must get along
with one lump of sugar instead of two
in his coffee will be interested in the
fact that the Revolutionary patriots
had much less or none at all of the
sweetening food material.
A century ago, says the United States
department of agriculture, the people
of this country consumed less than
one-tenth as much sugar as they do
now. In 1791-1795, just after the Revo-
luton, the estimated annual consump-
ton was rs pounds per capita. In
1821-1S25 the average per capita con-
sumption was 8.3 pounds and was prac-
tically the same 90 years earlier. But
in the five years ending with 1915 the
total consumption in the United States
was approximately 8,000,000,000
pounds, yearly average Of about "a
pounds for each person, or 37S pounds
for an average family (4.5 persons).
Reasons for the increase can be
found not only In many new and ex-
