Many Attended Game. The Journal's extra edition when the peace news came to town was greatly appreciated by the people. More than 1200 copies were printed. The Journal is in need of a few more correspondents in various pai'ts of Union county. years and those persons who love the outdoors and who have the time to do it will find trapping both pleasurable and profitable.

Along the river and creek here are places where muskrats abound and the skunks and other fur bearing animals are reported plentiful. Lincoln Highway Official Is Pleased With Progress Eich County Preparing to Aid. I That ood work Is being done In the improvement, of the Lincoln high-; way through Iowa is the assertion 01 H. C. Ostermann, field secretary of the Lincoln Highway association.

Mr. Ostermann recently made a trip of ln-1 spec! Ion through the Hawkeye state and the results were more than satls-; factory to him. On his journey across the state the Lincoln highway official was accom-i panied by D. Goodell of Tama, Lewisburg's peace parade was bigger and greater than even the fondest hopes of the committee. As one woman expressed it Tuesday night "she didn't thing Lewisburg could do it" Aviators Believe That Flying Is Bound to Have Great Influence on the Minds of Men.

Flying, In the opinion of Ttritlsh aviators, is going to change the character of the world! thought It will hnvo ii broadening Ififtaelttca and it win bring a fresher, cleaner flow of Ideas Into the brains of men. A man, the flyers argne, who hns seen before him at the Batne time the cliffs of England, the long flat fields of Holland and the smiling fount ryatde of Belgians and tTrance is bound to think in a different way than a man whose horizon has always been hounded by bricks and mortar, or even by hill and dale. Traveling may have made him think nationally, but flying will make him think far more largely. He will see England nnd Franco lying close to each other, separated only bv a shining atrip of water. He will see the green and brown mosaic of Belgium, which In Its turn merges into the distant shadow of Holland, while, still farther on, across the wide Scheldt he will see the distnnt lowlands sweep on over the rim of the world.

How will he regard petty spites between individuals and cliques then? the birdman asks. He can cover with his thumb from the heights a feverish city swarming with a million people. What will he think of those who live next to each other and will not apeak? How mean and petty their quarrels arid jealousies and hates will seem. The true meaning of human intercourse nnd friendship will come home to him. He will gain an almost divine outlook upon the world.

Dishonesty, civil strife, all will seem to him contemptible. Perhaps, say the aviators, this is the new view which will bring the millennium. The "flu" epidemic has appar-ntly abated in the county, although here are several isolated cases. The 'her places of amusements have pened and the regular routine is to fo'lowed. Those subscribers who have not paid up their arrearages will find that the paper will be missing from heir home.

Wild turkeys can now be shot and a number of hunters are out after them. From some sections the birds have been reported plentiful and it is expected that a number of them will be bagged. state consul of the Lincoln Highway association, and Thomas II.

MacDon-eld, J. W. Holden nnd H. C. Beard of the Iowa state highway commission.

Enthusiastic and well-attended Lincoln highway meetings were held at numerous points across the state a splendid program of Lincoln highway Improvement was revealed by the reports submitted at these meetings. Covering the most Important developments, Mr. Ostermann states: "Seventeen miles of the Lincoln highway in Clinton county have al The farmers of Union county in a short time will have their com all husked and the fodder placed away for winter! consumption. After that the work on the farm will begin to slacken and Union county farmers will feel glad of the work thry have done in producing large crops for the nation's consumption and also to feed the Allies. Rabbit hunters are meeting with some success, but the cottontails are not reported as plentiful this year as they have been, eon-scquonly the game bags are smaller.

NEW "HOME CARDS" WILL HELP PEOPLE TO SAVE FOOD "Home pledging housewives to observe all food regulations, will be distributed 'through the office of H. Heinz, Pennsylvania food administrator, before the elo.sp of November, it was announced today. The cards will contain instruction for the conservation of every kind of food, instead of being confined as former circulars have to suggestions for the saving of wheat, sugar and meats. No rationing program will be outlined by the food administration, but each hjse must be actuated by the sole idea of saving every ounce of food of all sorts. Mr.

Heinz said. He added: "The general public is not aware that a constant draft on our stock of food in this country has been running steadily against us since last September. It is mounting rapidly as the days go by. We must increase our exports to Europe by one-half and this increase must be made up of the food that we save from our tables. "This is not a question of wheat substitutes; of beef, or pork, or even of changing our diet.

It means that we must save every kind of food. Nothing fs accomplished by substituting one food for another. Every housewife must have a war conscience. Shg must see her family eats from a soldiers plate. That means every plate must he cleaned up and no scraps left to be thrown into the garbage can.

"Th(i food administration can prepare no ration program for this work. Every home must be guided by one idea that every ounce of food must be saved: that no more must be cooked or eaten than is necessary to maintain the health and strength of the family. "Tin's is the greatest war problem that has ever been put before the American people, unless we save, mil lions will starve. When I say millions I mean it, millions of Belgians, the half-starved population of Scr-via and Montenegro, the people of France and Italy who are already on short rations, of Poland, Rumania and the eastern European statp whose crops, owing to the ravages of war, are way below the average. "To accomplish this, as well as to feed our own men in the trenches, we must save nearly 18,000.000 tons of food from our dinner tables.

"The new ''home card' contains such direction at Mr. Hoover deems necessary to accomplish this great purpose. In the meantime, we should prepare for it by getting what is known as a running start." ready been graveled with federal aid funds; applications for federal aid funds have also been made by Cedar and Pottawattamie counties, and similar applications will be filed in the immediate future bv Linn, Tama. Benton nnd probably Crawford counties." A Lincoln highway seedling mile is now under way in Linn county, and The Journal is in need of a few more correspondents throughout the county and if your section is not represented this would appreciate it if you would ke kind enough to commun'cate with us if vou have the name of someone to suggest who would be in a position to take up the work.

In a similar fashion the plans in Marshall county call for the grnvellng of every foot of the Lincoln highway from county line to county line. Story, Boone ami Greene counties are practically all graveled at the present time and an all-weather road Is reported.

The visiting officials found that Crawford county had spent more money than any other county In the state In grading the Lincoln highway. Field Secretary Ostermann and State Consul Goodell expect that by Other Counties Although the day looked dreary, and the skies heavy with clouds, both combined could not keep a large crowd of students from going to Sunbury Saturday to view the game between Bucknell S. A. T. and Villanova S.

A. T. which ended in the score of 40-0, the former in the lead. At one o'clock all who were going lined upon the drill field behind the band and marchced to the station. With all men being in uniform the sight that greeted the Semites, who were all out was one never to be forgotten.

Upon arrivel in Sunbury the band formed, and the men under direction of Lieutenants Zimmerman and Billinger formed a company, which as the march progressed swing into platoon formation. Also accompanying on themarchwas the troops of Boy Scouts of Lewisburg under the leadership of Scoutmaster Harold Musser. The principal streets of Sunbury were traversed in thP line of march and a good crowd viewed the parade. Many favorable comments were heard afterward about the good marching ofthe men, and taken altogether it was an excellent appearance. The parade cotinued to the grounds where the game was to be held.

Proceeding the S. A. T. C. game was a game between Sunbury High School and Dickinson Seminary which resulted in a victory for the latter.

An excellent crowd witnessed the game, and all remained for the S. A. T. C. game, it being the main attraction The one ticket admitted to both games.

It seemed strange but the sentiment of opinion In Sunbury was that Bucknell had a poor chance against Villa Nova, and a more surprised crowd of people there could not have been, than the Sunburyites when they saw how the battle was progressing. It did look in the first few minutes of play as though the two teams were evenly matched, but it was not long until Bueknrll struck her stride and before the final whistle blew had shoved across the line for six touchdowns, of which four goals were kicked making the score 40-0 Bucknell team never played a better game than the one of last Saturday, and full credit must be given to the Villa Nova team for putting up a good fight although Bucknell was too fast for the. It can be said for the Villa Nova boys that they were hard tacklers, but when it came to running the ball, the backs could not get started. Lewis, Brandt each made two touchdowns for Bucknell, while Waddell anil Kraemer each made one. Hall kicked the goals with his usual accuracy.

Rosenbloom, playing light guard during both halves was breaking the opposing defense and playa and playing a sterling game throughout. Wargowas hurt in the first few minutes of play, and was Might Be the Engineer, but Found He Had Little Control Over Steam Powers. Meekly made up his mind that he wasn't going to be bossed any longer by nil wife, so when he went home at noon he called out, Imperiously "Laura Laura Mrs. Meekly came out of the kitchen with perspiration on her face, her bands covered with war flour, and a rolling-pin in her hand. "What do you want with Laura?" she asked.

Meekly staggered, but braced himself up. "I wunt you to understand, madam" and he tapped his breast dramatically "that I am the engineer of this establishment, that I am "Oh, you are, ure you?

Mr. Gutelius was a former newspaper man in Snyder county, having been connected with the Sel-insgrove Times and for a number of vears was owner and editor of the Northumberland Press. Miss Mary E.

his or her government, and it is a good thing for the nation for its obligations to be widely scattered among its citizens and not congested into the hands of the rich. Judging the future by the past, our government bonds issued during this war are going to rise greatly in value with peace. In 1888, 4 per cent, bonds sold in the open market as high as $130, and in 1901 brot over $139 that is $139 and some cents on a $100 dolar bond. That the Liberty bonds are going to rise well i'bove par in value is something that the most conservative will admit is well within the bounds of possibility- The shrewd and unscrupulous, the birds of prey in finance, realize the worth of Liberty bonds and are going tou sc. tvery effort to secure them from the hands of those owners of them who are uninformed or who are ignorant of stock and investment values.

The favorite method will probably be offering stock of wildcat companies or other speculative ventures. Speculative is really too conservative a word to apply to some of these stocks, since to say that they have a speculative value is flattering in the extreme; they have no value at all, except in the hands of unscruplous people, who trade thorn for money or Liberty bonds to ignorant investors. Every holder of a Liberty bond before he disposes of it, and especially before he trades it for stocks or other bonds, should consult a bank. Much money will be thereby saved to owners of Liberty bonds and finances of American people be better kept. GETTYSBURG PREPARES FOR STIRRING BATTLE Band Will Accompany Team.

Semites May Go. May be Special Train. Locating Ore Beds. Beds of ore are stated to have been located at a distance of two and a half miles by the electrical method patented in the United States by Professor It. A.

Fessenden. In the locality where the existence of valuable ores is suspected, a number of holes several miles apart are bored, then filled with water, and a Fessenden sound oscillator is immersed in une as a transmitting apparatus, the receiver submerged in each of the other holes being an Eiuthoven recording oscillograph. The holes may be live miles or more apart over the area beltig Investigated. In the study of the oscillograph records, special atteution is given to the relation between sounds received direct and those from echoes, and it is found possible to get a fair Idea of the character of Intervening masses of rock and of the position and distance of neighboring deposits of ore. Good Stretch of Road in Iowa.

the end of 1018 there will be 1,000 sustaining members of the Lincoln nigh-way association in Iowa. Plans for the permanent marking of the route across the state were discussed with the various local officials, and consuls of the national association, and each county In the state Is preparing to aid In financing this project to the extent of $300. A start has beu made in this direction, following the action of Pottawattamie county in voting $200 for this purpose, to which the city of Council Bluffs has added $100. The Importance of the Lincoln highway Improvement in Iowa was attested by the presence and Interest of State Engineer MaeDonald and his associates at the various meetings. DON'T SELL YOUR BONDS Next to the imperative duty of American citizens to support the Liberty loan is their duty to hold their Liberty Bonds.

It is not full service to the country to purchase Liberty bonds and then throw them upon the market, thus putting upon others the real burden of financing the war. Unless the necessity for disposing of them is very great, every owner of a bond should hold fast to it. Secretary Baker says that the wide distribution of the Liberty bonds among the mass of the American people makes our Liberty loans the soundest national financing in history. It is a good thing for ev-try bond holder to be a creditor of Again the time has come when Bucknell will travel to Harrisburg to met old rivals on the gridiron.
