Harrisburg. July S0.-Governor
Stone has returned after a weeks alb
sence in reviewing the National Guard
at the annual encampment
81 never felt prouder Of my native
state than | do tonight" said the gov
ernor enthusiastically, on his arrival
mere. 81 have Witnessed one of the
grandest and most successful assem-
hlages of the troops of the state, and
am pleased to say that the National
Guard Of Pennsylvania was never on
flrmer basis, better equipped or better
disciplined than it is today. Every
where | went, found the officers and
men eager TO carry out the instructions
of their superior officers, and they de-
ported themselves in manner to
command the highest praise Of the
representative of the United States
army assigned to inspect our militia.
Governor Stone will not take regu-
lar vacation this summer. He is watch
ing the workings of the several state
departments closely and finds much to
occupy his attention
A WOMAN FORESTER.
Since he became governor he has
shown solicitous interest in the de-
velopment OF the forests of Pennsyl'
vania. and he has in many ways en-
couraged the department Of forestry,
which has during the last two years
been acquiring many acres OF forest
lands as the property OF the common
wealth.
Miss Myra Lloyd Dock. of this city.
has the honor Of being the. first woman
TO become a member Of the STATE for
estry commission. She has Just re-
ceived her appointment from Cover
nor Stone. Miss Dock has been idenu-
fed with the forestry movement al
most since its inception in Pennsylva-
MIA, and. while young woman, she
has made her impress upon this i'm
portant work. She has been n most
efficient lecturer and has not only
studied the forestry question in the
United States. but also in foreign
lands. especially in Germany. where
she visited the Black Forest and stud
led under the German instructors. Her
appointment is in no sense a political
one, but comes solely from her fitness
for the work II is Acknowledged to be
direct recognition of the important
services she has herself rendered the
state. and also a recognition Of the in
valuable aid which the women of
Pennsylvania have given this move
ment
WORKING FOR PURE BUTTER.
Governor Stone has had several con
ferences recently with the dairy and
food commissioner, his own appointee.
Farmer Cope, OF Chester county. and
Secretary OF Agriculture John Hamil-
ton in reference to the work under
their immediate direction.
At the last session of the legislature
there was enacted. besides the anti
oleomargarine law. an act regulating
the sale OF process or worked over"
/ butter.
Charles l.. Brown, attorney for the
J dairy and food commission, anticipates
that immediate steps will be taken to
carry out the provisions Of the reno
waited butter and oleomargarine legis-
lation. Commissioner Cope is prepar'
ing the instructions to the agents of
the department and these will be sent
| out within few days.
The law went into effect on July
10. and the commissioner believes that
those who have been in the business
of manufacturing. selling or using
process" or boiled" butter have now
ample opportunity to know the penal
ties they incur if they fail to take out
licenses. The agents are already max
ing preliminary canvass of the manu-
facurers. and as soon as the definite
instructions are received the net will
be thrown out.
The penalties for the Illegal sale OF
renovated or process butter are similar
to those in the new oleomargarine act
"The intention of the department Is
to see that these new laws are rigor
ously enforced" said Commissionel
Cope "The agents are now at work
and anticipate that prosecutions will
be begun at an early date. The pro
visions of the new oleomargarine Law
will also be enforced to the strict let
ter, and If the department can stol
the violations they certainly will b.
stopped"
