RETIRE TEACHERS AT

being recognized as a champion in
improving conditions for the school
teachers. He Immediately took up
the question which is agitating every
teacher in the state, namely the bill
which was passed in 1917 providing
for retirement fund. He demand
ed that this law be properly admin
istered and called attention that at
present out of an appropriation of
$4,000 the sum of $4,000 goes to
pay for the administration.
THE teacher must be the one to
be benefited, not the administrator"
he emphasized in a storm of ap-
plause. He advocated an increase in
school tax, declaring it money well
spent. He pledged himself to legis-
lative effort that will result in a
change of the salary minimum, in
retaining the competent, and in es-
tablishing firmly the retirement law.
The session was presided over by
Lucy w. Glass, president of the
State Teachers League. The Camp
Curtin school orchestra. under di-
rection of Miss Mildred Conkling
led off, followed by an address of
welcome by NJ. t. Thomas, super
visor of Harrisburg schools, and q
D.
superintendent of schools of Pitts
ton.
After speaking, Senator Beidleman
remained to take part in the general
discussion which developed that
crisis faces this organization. AL
though a retirement bill is in op-
GRAFTON, it is not supposed to become
effective until 1914 The Attorney
General is to make a decision on
this shortly. Meanwhile hundreds
or teachers over sixty years of age
are fearful that they will be dumped
without having a chance to enroll in
the retirement league.

Hit at Favoritism
The technicalities of the move
ment and narrative of what is being
done fell to Secretary II. II. Baish,
whose big task is to get the country
school boards interested. 1t is pro-
posed now to start a campaign
through the press.
Another aim is to make the Job of
schoolteacher more or less safe. Mr.
Beidleman brought out and others
emphasized that county directors are
in the habit of firing" one teacher
who may be very competent, to put
in a relative or close friend. Mr..
O'Donnell related a true incident
that happened in the western part
of the state when a local boy came
back from Army camp and married
the sch& lima 'rm. When he reached
France with Pershing he received
the cheerful news that his wife had
lost her job for getting married to

FEST ON A CANNED FooD MYTH


The popular belief that canned
foods will spoil and even be danger
GUS if left in the tin after opening
has been made the subject of a tech
nical investigation by w. d. Bigelow,
chief chemist of the National Can
ners' Association, whose results are
reported in the American Food Jour
nal. Canned milk is usually kept in
the tin until used up, sometimes
for days, and shows no deterioration,
and the result of laboratory tests
demonstrated that a tin can differs
little from a tin dish for keeping
such foods, so far as wholesomeness
is concerned. Cans of tomatoes, corn,
string beans, sauerkraut, apples,
pineapples and pumpkin were op pen-
ed and allowed to stand from one to
three days, when the contests were
examined chemically for increased
acidity and the presence of tin and
iron, as well as taste and odor. The
increase in acidity was very slight in
most cases, and the amounts of tin
and iron infinitesimal, while taste
and odor were in most cases normal

Farm Made to PAY.

For ten years 500-acre farm in cen.
trail Michigan failed to pay interest on
the capital invested. One year after
the owners had been induced to make
certain radical changes the farm paid
all expenses of operation and returned
them 5 per cent on an investment of
100000. These changes were:
Substitution of four-horse for two
horse machinery; substitution of bet
ter stock for Improbable cows in the
dairy herd; adoption of the silo plan;
allowance to the foreman, in addition
to his salary, of 10 per cent of the net
income from the farm.
Expenses of operating the farm, but
not the interest on the capital, were
deducted from the income before the
foreman received his percentage. The
owners yielded to the plan when they
found that for every dollar the fore
man got under such an arrangement
they would receive nine.

CANARY RISES TO PROTEST
Declares Increase in Cost of Living
Has Been Excessive, and Gives
Figures to Prove 1t.

Among the latest to protest against
the habit of raising prices, simply be-
cause the raised price can be secured,
there was heard, recently, a new voice.
1t was that of canary. Raing bird
whose motto had ever been: "Strict
application to business" it had been
his custom, when the rest of the fam
lily left the city during the summer
and shut up the house. to board him
self out. Two years ago, he could, he
says, get good accommodation, an airy
room with a sunny aspect, good seed,
water, bath, and unrestricted oppor-
tunity for vocal exercise for thirty
cents week. Last year, however, the
charge for the same accommodation
was raised to forty cents, and this year
it appears he has been obliged to pay
fifty cents. He is willing, he declares,
TO sustain his share of the burden of
the war, but he regards a &c per cent
rise as unduly hard Gu bird Of mod
crate means.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
FruaaIity VS.. shiftIessness.

Before the long, wet winter months
set in, when the greater part of his
machinery and implements are not in
use, the thrifty farmer carefully goes
over them. oiling, using paint when
necessary, supplying broken or missing
parts and putting everything under
shelter. These and other frugal char
acteristics differentiate him from the
shiftless, haphazard farmer who leaves
his implements exposed to the wealth
er, who lets the fences around his
house and barn fall down, perfectly
coItented to throw a hoop over his
corral gate rather than put on a new
hinge or repair the old one.
The former, 1t may be taken for
granted, is a plow-deep, use-fertilizer,
Internationally and take-advan-
tage-of-the-market farmer-in word,
a successful farmer; while the latter
is scratch-the-ground and trust-to-
luck individual whose failure he at
tributes to anyone but himself.
No right-minded farmer could toler.
ate being in the second class; and, on
the other hand, every farmer coming
under that category ought to aspire to
the first classification-and now is the
time to start.

GERMANS LEAVING

RocHE INGENUITY ILLUSTRATED
BY. THE INTERNAL MACHINES
THEY LEAVE BEHIND.
Duaouts Blown Up Ten Days After
They Had Been Abandoned by Teu-
tons, While Explosions Occur Four
Days After Hun Evacuation.

Paris.-The boches are showing
deyilish ingenuity in the manner in
which they are leaving Internal ma
chimes behind them as they retreat to.
ward the Rhine. This ingenuity seems
to depend upon the time Heinie had TO
work ii ont. In some regions every
dugout has its little contriyance of
death, but of all the assortment the
one he left at Chatel Cherhery ranks
first. 1t was here that ammunition
dumps and dugoutS began to explode
four days after the Germans left the
place some two weeks ago. Ten days
after the enemy was gone two dugouts
blew up from time bombs. Our engi-
neers have found many types of in.
fernal machines, such as those fixed
to eight-day clocks and thermometers.
For ingenuity one found few days
ago was remarkable. Eight feet from
the entrance of a handsome dugout
that would make a good shelter for
weary doughboys was found a cane,
hanging carelessly over the balustrade
of Il stairway. 1t looked harmless, but
a certain engineer lieutenant had
learned to be wary. Walking around
the cane he examined it, 1t appeared
to be all right. Turning on his flash
light he went over it infinitely, and
half way between the ferrule and the
| handle he saw a small black string tied
to it. This string led to the balustrade
and down to where Il person would
naturally stand at the foot of the
stairs when grasping the cane. Be
Meath this spot, four feet square, a
hole was filled with an explosive cor.
responding to INT. This is one IL
| lustration of how the boche likes to
| fight.
This is one of the reasons why the
doughboys think less fayorably of an
armistice than they otherwise might
