 Farmers who take wheat to the mill for flour for their own consumption should not at any time take home from the mill more than a thirty days supply of flour. The mill will have a record of the wheat ground and the flour the farmer is entitled to, but he should limit his amount of flour from wheat he grew to thirty days supply and at the end of the month get another months supply.

GET 1T OVER SOON

TT is to be hoped that the Legis-
ature, as has been forecasted, will
vote on the prohibition amend
ment early in February. There can
be no excuse for making this issue
a political football this session. 1t
is a non-partisan question and in its
consideration there should be moth
ing of partisan politics-none of the
you vote for r-this-and-I'll-
for-that" tactics such as are bound
to find their way into the consider
alton of legislation in the crowded
days toward the end of the session.
Let us get the prohibition matter
settled as soon as possible Nobody
can say positively just how the vote
will be. although the prospects are
better for a favorable decision now
than just after the election. The
fact that enough states will pass
the amendment to make it part OF
tho constitution, no matter what
Pennsylvania may do, may have
some bearing on the situation, al
though just what this may be will
depend largely upon the way the
first ten or twelve states to vote in
January go.

the next Legislature. And it is a
matter of pleasure to note that SEN

Ensign Bacon says that a band
marches the colored men on duty at
the ports to and from their work and
that officers have found that since
they have music the efficiency of
the men is improved.
The German prisoners, he writes,
are very Jealous of their privileges
and he says that they were given duty
when a man escaped and when he
was returned "His fellow prisoners
killed him, simply kicked him to
death because he had caused them
extra dlty.
The letter writer says that he is
much impressed by the cheerfulness
of the French in spite of their losses
and the smile that they keep al
though many of them are ruined and
all seem to have lost some one near
and dear to them during the war.
He is strong for the French cooks,
whom, he says, turn ont fine meals
in spite of shortages of food and sub
stitutes and their war bread is as
good as ordinary bread at home.
The American system impresses the
French and the German prisoners
salute every American officer far
more willingly than any other.
Ensign Bacon writes entertaining
ly about the men who have been on
the ships he has been assigned to,
especially when they get seasick. He
says one man, a veterinary officer
from Kansas kept a force of deck
hands busy with brooms and buckets
because he refused to diet and finally
declared that all he wanted to see
IVES tree. He says that the quar-
tercaaster owes him thirty packs of
cigarets because the time he selected
to play pinochle was when the quar-
termaster was seasick.
A dog which will take commands
only in French is declared by Ensign
Bacon TO furnish much of the enter
tainment for the officers mess. He
is also forlorn and when he finds
any one asleep he believes he has
been killed and howls a requiem.

SALUTE
[From Life1


Another song for the brave old Flag,
AS full-staff-h high it flies,
Whether a shot-torn, ,smoke-grimmed
rag
Or bright as the wintry skies.
We watch from the slips as the
transport ships
Come plunging through the foam,
And mothers and dads hail the glori-
Gus lads
That bring the old Flag home.
They bore it away in the morn's
dim light.
With never a goodby cheer,
For they stole to sea like thief in
the night
Lest the Hun of their course should
hear.
But now in the breeze DER the ran
somed seas
The proud ships make their track,
And the sirens sing and the great
bells ring
AS they bring the old Flag back.
There are stripes more red where
our heroes bled;
Their memory gilds The stars;
But thanks we give for the lads that
live,
For the "doughboys" and the tars.
Oh, let them brag Of their WE'LL
served Flag
Wherever their glad feet roam!
And let none be mute in the high
salute
AS they bring "Old. Glory" home.
Edward A. Church.

SNYDER'S WISE COURSE

IJDITOR General Snyder is
n quoted by a Philadelphia news
IA paper as having decided opin-
ions regarding the location of state
offices outside of Harrisburg. He be-
leves that the personal convent
ence of temporary officials should
have nothing whatever to do with
the location of their Offices. He also
believes that the State should not be
at the expense of maintaining quar-
ters for such officials outside the cap
ital of the Commonwealth. The Audi
tor General is extremely practical in
all his views and is determined, so far
as he is able, to bring about the con-
centration of all State officials here.
While he is about it he might also
undertake, at the approaching ses-
sion of the Legislature, TO fix and de-
termine the permanent location of
the Supreme Court. AS the highest
tribunal in the Commonwealth there
is no longer any occasion for this
body to continue its peripatetic ram
blings from one end of the State to
she other. AS the court of last resort
it should occupy it's dignified and
spacious quarters in the Capitol. 1t
is known that Chief Justice Brown
and others of his distinguished asso-
ciates favor permanent sittings of
The court here.
There might have been reason
years ago-when transportation was
more difficult and when Harrisburg
was less able to provide proper ac-
commodations-for the justices to
maintain their sittings more or less
permanently in Philadelphia, but
that day is past and we believe Gov
ernor Sproul will be of the same opin-
ion as Auditor General Snyder in
This matter of bringing about without
further ado the concentration of the
State government in all its functions
here on the Susquehanna.
1t is reassuring to note the inter-
est of the Auditor General and other
officials in concentrating the author

golidate and concentrate its official

PHILADELPHIA is bewailing its

most swamps the shopping centers.

THE ROTARY CLUB

rHE keynote of Ed. S. Herman's
address before the Rotary Club
- to-day, in which he reviewed
the organization activities for the
year, was "unselfish service" In
all of its enterprises. Mr.. Herman
pointed out, the club has acted for
the benefit of the community. 1t
has given it's effort and its money
for the public welfare, and SO has
come to be favorably known as a
levening force for good in the life
of the city. If there is anything in
the motto of the organization-He
profits most who serves best-the
Rotary Club may look forward con-
fidently to an extremely prosperous
New Year.

THE odd manner in which men
from the same communities
bump into each other while on
duty in France is illustrated in let
ters received here from Ensign
George A. Bacon, of the United States
navy, to his mother, Mrs. Harry
Bacon, of this city. Ensign Bacon is
a nephew of George a. Shreiner, Sup
erintendent of Public Grounds and
Buildings. and has been on foreign
duty during the war. In writing
from French port he says that re-
Gently while taking a walk 81 noticed
a soldier riding a motorcycle and

him over but for the life of me
could not place him just then. He
said "I am George Wolf, of Penbrook,

told Ensign Bacon that Joe Novinger
was at the same camp.
In his letter Ensign Bacon tells
a good story of colored soldiers. One
day a colored soldier approached him
and asked.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

In view of the fact that the Lon
don Saturday Review has been,
formerly, not very pro-American in
matters literary and political, the
confidence 1t is processing in our
imagist poets is most gratifying.
Perhaps the recent getting
of America and the Allies has
caused a new capacity for SYM
pathy and understanding of Ameri-
can "ultraism" among the foreign
literateurs. "Vividness, vitality, and
concentration, beauty and original
ity of expression, may be looked for
in the work of Amy Lowell, II. D. >
and John Gould Fletcher" writes a
critic in the Saturday Review.

Curiosity That Hurts

(From the New York Tribune.)
The Red Cross nurse IN the army
service who pleaded with the public
not to stare at our wounded soldiers
gave a needed hint that it is worth
stressing. 1t is instructive human
nature to turn and eye any strange
looking human being. Anybody who
has ever been temporarily lamed or
injured so as to display queer limp
or q conspicuous bandage can tes-
tify TO the morbid interest such af-
Fiction arouses. Ordinarily we do
not realize that this human failing
exists. We do not notice IL in our
selves or others when the object is
some one else. But let the staring
curious circle of eyes be focused on
ourselves and the sensation will
never be forgotten.
1t is not so much a lack of sensi-
bility that permits such staring as a
lack of imagination. The starer
does not realize what acute discom-
fort he is causing. That is why the
warning with respect to our soldiers
is so valuable and timely. Try to
put yourself in u manned mans
place. He wants your admiration
and respect and certain degree of
sympathy, yes. But he wants even
more to feel that he is a regular
human being like everybody else.

crowd. Such Is the right and true
point Of view, as all our carry on"
programs of physical and mental
reconstruction hold and inculcate.
To look at him as a thing peculiar
and awful. or even gravely different
is to attack the whole basis of his
future. He is quite right to resent
1t.

COURTESY PAYS

II am just finding out the big rea-

it is courtesy. AS rule the big man
