 Go to the polls and vote Tuesday Registration figures low compared to the potential strength This is regrettabe, but not dangerous in this in- stance It would have reflected more creditably upon the towns civic spirit, spoken better for the citizens realization of public duty. if there had been a representative turning out of the electorate during the registration period. It was inevitable, perhaps, that registration would be more or less low since it clearly apparent very early in the year that Mayor Judson's administration would have only negligible if any opposition to the polls. Those who did register have a right to feel that satisfaction which attends the performance of a duty which may have seemed not altogether neces- sary. There is only duty left them in order to fill entirely their part in the mechanics of government-that is to go to the polls election day and vote for the candidates who seem most likely to advance the destiny of the community for the next year.

IS TRIBUTE TO MAYOR HUDSON.

The lack of competition in the mayorality race here is more than anything else a personal tribute to Mayor Thomas B Judson. It is a seal of affairs, as Mayor and Street Commissioner, for four successive terms. It does not mean of course that he has pleased everybody but it is an indca- ton that his work has been satisfactory to large majority of local residents
 There four candidates in the race for three vacancies on the City Council All four are prop erty owners, substantial business and tax-pay- CTS. Three running the same ticket with Mayor Judson These are G. E. Krause who has just completed two-year term, Gunnar Blomgren who several years ago valuable member of the Council and John E. Green, of the Berg mann Hotel and A. B. Hall, resident of many years of the city. The fourth candidate is D. M Bothwell, who is completing a two-year term and seeks reelection
 Each of the candidates is too well known to need amplficaton explanation of his qualifca- tions to serve So far as practical considerations are involved any three of them elected will give the community high class service, and insure a business-like administration of its affairs
 There is no need to urge voters to mark their ballots for Councmen The contest there insures that But there are two other offices to be filled by the voters in Tuesdays election One. that of Mayor, as we have remarked has but one candi- date The same condition exists regards School Director.

HAGERsTOwN, Md, February "a
How to change the names of their
twin sons to Amos and Andy is q para
mount issue in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Daniel r. Sollenberger Of near
here.
The twins were born December % in
the Waynesboro Hospital and were
jokingly nick-named by the hospital
staff Amos and Andy, but the parents
christened the youngsters other names.
In some manner, the famous pair
Amos and Andy" otherwise known as
Freeman F. Gosden and Charles j.
Cornell, learned that the babies had
been named after them and dispatched
a letter to the parents informing them
that If the boys had actually been
named after them they would send
them "a very nice present and also
start a bank account for them"
Now Mr.. and Mrs. Sollenberger want
to change the names of their sons to
Amos and Andy and have appealed to
the Pennsylvania Department of Vital
Statistics to see If something can be
done so they can change the names and
claim the present and bank account
for their sons.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, February "a
United States Senator Simeon D. Tess
of Ohio, speaking to almost 500 Masons
at the annual celebration of Alexandria
Washington Lodge, No. 90 A. F. and
A. M, of which George Washington was
first worshipful master, here last night,
outlined something of the form the ma
tional observance of the Bicentennial
celebration of George Washington's
birth next year will take. Concerning
the s2,700,000 additional appropriation
for the Mount Vernon Boulevard work,
which is now before Congress, Senator
Fess said that this matter will be before
the Senate when it conveneS today and
that I'VE are going to have 1t passed"
The Bicentennial celebration will
open, Senator Fess said, with an ad-
dress on the Character of George
Washington" by the President of the
United States to be broadcast over a
Nationwide hook-up. Cities all over
the Nation, Senator Tess said, would be
cordingly so that they might first listen
to the address of the President before
they begin.
Two of three days Of each succeeding
month until Thanksgiving would then
be devoted to the national celebration.
In Mach, Senator Fess said, there would
be another celebration, in April another,
this probably of religious character
to coincide with the Easter season, and
in May another, probably with war
and Peace" as the topic.
The June celebration, Senator Tess
declared, would probably be centered
around the flag, with July the celebra-
ton Of the natal day of American lib
erty.
The celebration, the Senator declared,
will bring the greatest aggregation of
citizens to Washington that any Capital
city in the history of the world has
witnessed.
In speaking. concerning the Mount
Vernon Boulevard project on which
$4,000, 600 has already been appropri-
ated, Senator Fess declared the 50, 700,-

RANGE PARALYSIS
By Prof. H. D. Munro

By Prof. H. d. Munroe
At this time of the year, when the
pullets are about ready to lay, many
flock owners notice some of the pull
let's going blind, losing weight, get
ting lame and sometimes becoming
praalyzed. This condition is called
Rrange Paralysis. Little is known
about this disease and nothing is
known that will cure the trouble.
1t is--usually the after effect of the
disease Coccidiosis and many times
worms especially tape worms, are
found in flocks so affected. The ow-
ners should treat the birds for
worms, Gull out and kill all birds
that are blind, lame or paralyzed.
From the time the pullets are
housed the owner should carefully
Gull the flock each week. At this
time he should take out any bird
that is lame in any way or seems to
be going blind. These birds will us
ually be in good flesh and can be
sold for eating purposes. If this is
not done the bird will soon be too
thin to sell and will usually die in
about "a months time. 1t is far bet
ter to get the market price for the
pullet than to keep her until she is |
worthless and spend money on her
for medicine that will do no good.
