Goats Milk Popular.

Canned goats milk is finding an in
creasing market all over the world,
and is said to be profitable industry.
In the course of the year the goat will
produce II times its weight, but the
goat is not so reliable as an all-year-
round source Of supply. Goats milk is
very rich, and is in demand as food
for invalids and many children, and
the goat is said to be further free from
tuberculosis.

How to Can
Without Sugar
Fruits VIII Keep Perfectly When
Properly Canned in Water

Keep canning, sugar or no sugar."
should be the motto of housewives
throughout the country this fall. If
you can't get enough sugar for home
canning. put up your fruit without it,
advises the United States department
of agriculture. The products will
keep perfectly until a time when
more sugar is available or until
sugar substitute program has been
worked out. Fruits put up in this
way are excellent for pie-flling and
salads and may be used in desserts,
buildings, ices and punches.
In canning fruit without sugar, can
the product the day it is picked. Gull,
stem, seed, and clean fruit by plac-
ing in strainer and pouring cold Wa
ter over it. Pack the product care
fully in hot glass jars or tin cans
until full. Use a tablespoon, wood
en- ladle, or table knife for packing
purposes. Pour boiling hot water
over the product in the hot jar. Place
rubbers and caps in position, not tight.
If using tin cans, seal completely.
Place in the sterilizer vat, or Gamer,
and steriliZe for the length of time
given below according to the particu-
lar type Of outfit used:

After sterilizing remove the filed

DAN BEARD ADVISES SCOUTS.

Daniel Carter Beard, national com
missioner of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea, has issued instructions to the
scoutmaSters throughout the country,
urging them to see to 1t that "all
Scouts live up to the Scout OATH"
Mr.. Beard says: eve want this to he
a great big organization. There Is
nothing namby-pamby or sissiiicd
about real Scout. One of the old
Scouts, faithful friend Of ours, has
recently hit the trail over the Great
Dlvlde-Colonel COdy-an oldtime
buckskin man; and | hate to think
what would have happened to anyone
in the olden days had they ever hinted
that Buffalo Bill was sissy.
"Wc want no denatured, pasteurized
scouting. We want all you men to live
up to the Scout oath like real men.
Ours is no ring-around-a-rOsy game.
We are patriotic, we are Americans,
we are for peace, but in this war we
can, every one of us, be counted upon
to stand behind our president and do
everything and anything we can for
our country.
LET us stand together like Minute
Men in the time of the Revolution"

We're Having Good Time.

An automobile party driving a
Stutz car with an Old mobile
license, registering under the
names of w. w. Lawrence, j.
K. Hemphill, Grace Leroy and
Myrtle Babcock of Pittsburgh,
took dinner at Hotel Harris
Tuesday. Before leaving, one
Of the men dropped into Geo.
Hays store and purchased some
cartridges. They then got into
the car, tramped in the starter,
and hit it up through town at a
40 mile clip, firing the revolvers
right and left and having a jolly
time generally. 1t happened
that Justice of -the-Peace Peigh-
tel was on the street and witness
ed the performance. He went
at once before Justice Conrad
and swore out a warrant for the
arrest of the joy party, and
placed in the paper in tn e
hands of Sheriff Garland
who pursued the autoiSts to the
Franklin County line on top of
the mountain, without being able
to overtake them. The police
in Chambersburg were notified
and before the Pittsburgers had
reached that town they were in
custody.
The JOY party wanted to know
the price and so telegraphed JUS
tice Peightel. Fifty dollars and
COSTS, was the reply, which
would mean about a hundred
dollars and then some, for they
had to explain the crooked license
business to the Chambersburg
officers.

MOVIES TO TEACH HISTORY

stead Of Meaningless Succession OF
Dates, Says Writer.

Brian Hooker, who believes in a fu-
ture for the movies" writes in the
Century on their possibilities in re-
ylyifylng history and converting 1t, out
Of meaningless succession Of dates
and names, into gorgeous pageant.
"IIlstory will be known as never be-
fore, for it will be seen and not heard,
reviviiied before us to the very life and
re.enacted in our presence. We shall
watch Babylon fall and Rome not
builded in day. And as with history
itself, so with the whole wonder of
legendary and historical story. We
shall see tall Troy burning, Robin
Hood hunting the kings deer in Sher-
wood, and LancelOt and Tristram rid
ing through Broceiaunde; the sun
shall flash on Caesars armOr, the foam
about the bows of the ArgO, and
through fire rs veritable as himself
Sigurd will 60 to Brunhild. So with
yividness beyond words and an illu-
sion beyond paint and tinsel we shall
review the wars Of heroes and the
loves Of gods of other days. Nor need
the new field be confined to the scri-
ously beautiful alone; there will be
room enough for all that is merely
fanciful and entertaining. Gods are no
better material than fairies, and
George Washington would look as well
cutting down the cherry tree as cross
ing the Delaware. If Lancclot would
make fine figure in the pictures so
would Don QuiXote, the Had would
show no better in its kind than the
Little Mermaid or Hanscl und Gretel.
For the special power of the screen Is

our sight alike all history and fable

Short of FIau Material,

According to n manufacturer of flags
the demand for sold Glory" never was
so great as Mt present. If this con-
tinues-and there is every reason to
believe it will-manufacturers are
wondering what will happen.
"Of course the war is responsible
for the increased business in flags"
said he. "If it keeps on we are Won
dering where we are going to get the
bunting that is used in making flags.
With but two places in the country
where 1t is possible to get material,
and the shortage in dyes, we are sure
ly up against 1t. Everything about the
business has gone up in price. Poles

THE FlFTlETH BOY A SCOUT

About one boy in fifty will remain
after the feast and Of his own accord
offer TO clear up the things or to wash
the dishes. A number of others would
help If asked. A stone Is on the pave
ment where traffic Is passing and au-
tos may hit It and skid, or 1t may be
piece of glass. one boy in fifty will
stop and pick II up and put 1t Off the
road, where II will do no damage,
where 40 boys will pass by and never,
think or care about who Is damaged
by 1t.
The fiftleth boy Is the one that Is
wanted in business, in positions of
trust, In any occupation where care
fulness Is necessary. by this II is not
meant that only one boy in fifty will
learn 10 be careful, for Il majority of
the boys In time learn by experience
to he careful and thoughtful, though It
sometimes takes costly experience to
teach thch. And here Is where the
trouble lies. Forty-ninc boys do not
heed what is told them about being
careful, whore one bOy'dOcs. and the
forty-nne learn in the costly school
of experience.
Scouting makes flfticth boy of
more than half the boys who engage In
It. The observance Of the Scout law
makes boy careful, thoughtful, relia-
BILE, helpful. In looking for a chance
to do good turn Scout becomes
thoughtful of others. He fOrgcts self
and seeks others good. A piece of
glass Is where boy viii step on it or
nm auto tire will be puncturcd. The
Scout removes IL and untics the knot
in his handkerchief to remind him
that he must every day do good turn.
Doing n good turn soon becomes a hab-
it with him. This makes friends for
him-rrlcnds of the right sort. Good
turns are like good seed in good
ground-thcy bear Il crop and always
come back with increase to the one
who does them. The Saviour Of men
taught his disciples to do good turns.

in the name of disciple shall not lose
its reward"
The next time you get back from n
hike or cruise, he the fifticth boy.
Don't make a run for the shore with
your belongings, anxious to get home,
and shirll the work Of putting things
away and mOOring the boat. BE the
careful fellow of the bunch, and stay
until everything is snugly put away.
See the thing through. BE the tiftieth
boy.

Hygiene Taught by Movies.

North Carolina is carrying the prop
nganda of disease prevention from the
laboratory to the rural home by means
of n motion-picture show on wheels.
The outfit consists Of n railway car fit
ted up for the purpose. A lecturer and
an operator, under the direction of the
state health department, give free en-
tertainments in every community that
can be reached. The campaign Is in
tensive; that Is, after an exhibition in
n given county the car returns to the
same community, week later, and
still again two weeks later with n
complete change of program. The
whole object is TO impress the public
with lessons of hygiene and sanitation
that would be learned slowly, If at all,
from printed reports or bulletins.-

June Crop Report.

The following report issued by
G. L. Morgan. Field Agent, Bu-
reau of Crop Estimates, shows
the crop condition in Pennsyl-
vania as given in the Government
Crop Report of July 9, 1918.
The month of June has been
generally favorable for crop
growth and all farm work. The
rainfall has been about the aver
age in most sections, however,
moisture is needed in some places
for potatoes and grasses. The
temperatures were below normal
in the latter half of the month
and frost occurred on the 20 and
the % but did little damage eX-
cept in the northern part of the
State where some truck crops
were affected.
The average of Corn has been
increased in all sections of the
state, but the stand is poor, for
despite the Departments repeat
ed warnings only about fifty per
cent of the farmers tested their
seed; and in consequence there
has been much replanting. The
crop is very uneven and some
cases it was abandoned and buck
wheat will be su b s t ituted.
Where they have succeeded in
getting a stand conditions are
fairly good but growth has been
retarded by the cold weather.
The condition of apples is
slightly above last year and also
the five year average. The peach
crop will be light in all sections
of the State due to the severe
winter, and late frost this spring.
The condition of other crops in
Pennsylvania shown in per cent
of normal are as follows: Field
peas SO per cent; field beans 81
per cent; tomatoes 92 per cent;
cabbage SO per cent; peas 60 pei
cent. grapes So per cent; black.
berries and raspberries 81 pei
cent; watermelons S5 per cent,
catalogues "a per cent.
The weight of wool per fleece
this year is 6 7 as compared with
65 last year and 6 pounds the
a erage for the past five years.

JAPAN is PAYING THE PRICE
Development Of lndustriaIism Lower
ing Physical Efficiency and Moral
Standards of People.

This move of the population from
the maplc-cad hills and rice fields of
beautiful Japan to the crowded quar-
tcrs, low resorts and inhuman factories
of the cities Is lowering the physical
efficiency, the mental horizon and the
moral standards of the people. Tuber-
culosiS is taking its toll from frcnzicd
industrialism. A prominent Y. NJ. G..
A. worker, Mr.. ]. Merle Davis, whose
study of the social problems of an in
creasing urban population in Japan
has been thorough, says that an cX-
pert in factory conditions makes the
statement that often one-half of the
girls employed in certain mills become
depraved within Il year after entering
the mills. They lose their health soon
after, so that the price of broader

SCOUTS PLANT 175 ACRES.

On the high hills overlooking Lake
Michigan the Scouts of Manistee, Mich,
have farm of over 175 acres, all
planted in beans. Herbert Hoover has
asked the Boy Scouts of America to
make the raising of beans for the sol
diers their especial task. The work
on this bean farm is done with six
teams of horses and one tractor, all
donated by the town people. The
planting has been done by hand, as
the country is too hilly to plant with
machines. The boys who are working
on the farm are camping at the edge
of the lake.
The boys are trying to earn the
money for the development of the
Scout movement in the city. The local
council borrowed money to prepare the
land and do the planting. They believe
that the Scouts will be glad to enjoy
the advantages of scouting, knowing
that It was the sweat Of their brows
which gave them the privilege.
