Some Facts About the Primary Elec
ton Law.
Candidates for County Offices Will Be Nomi-
mated on First Saturday in June.

There are numerous inquiries re-
garding the holding of the Spring
primary election. The next pri-
mary election, which must be gen.
orally observed over the entire state,
will be held the first Saturday in
June. At this election all candi-
dates for Office to be filled at the
general election in November, with
the exception of those nominated
by national or state convention,
will be nominated, as we'll as the
officers OF the various political par
tiss. At these primaries the com.
missioneis are required under the
Act to provide ballot boxes, official
ballots for different political parties,
and all other supplies. The election
will be conducted by the regular
election officers, and the polls will
be open frcm two in the afternoon
to eight in the evening and from
one to nine o'clock p m. al licers s.
ed places will be closed. The elec-
tion officers receive one half pay for
their services which is paid by the
county treasurer, who in turn re-
ceives the money from the state
treasurer. Persons desiring to be-
come candidates for state officers
must file petitions with the secre-
tary of the Commonwealth at least
four weeks prior to June Ist, and
in all other cases at least three
weeks before June Ist, with county
commissioners. The petition must
be signed by voters representing
the party proposed politically, viz:
For members Of Congress, judges
of courts and state senators, 200
qualified electors, aud for represen.
tatives arid officers to be voted for
by the entire county, fifty qualified
voters.

WHO GOT THE MONEY.

Representative Thomas, of Buck.
County, in letter from Harrisburg
to his newspaper, the Bristol ga
Sette, has the following to say
about the Capitol investigation -
"No one believes for an instant
that either Architect Huston or
Contractor Sanderson was allowed
to get away with the millions OF
"swag." They could not do it
without official sanction.
An impression prevails that in
order to cover into the treasury be.
fore Mr.. Berry took charge, mill
ions that had been extracted, these
excessive payments to Sanderson
were charged on the books to make
up the discrepancies between the
actual cash on hand and the amount
that should be there.
This is an entirely new and start
ling reason for the enormous differ
ence between the actual cost and
what was charged the State for the
Capitol furnishing. Can it be the
correct one?
Coming from an outside source
the statement made might not at
tract much attention. But it does
not come from all outside source.
1t comes from an intelligent and re-
sponsible member of the Legisla-
ture, who is now serving his second
term and who has had enough ex-
perience and familiarity with affairs
at Harrisburg 10 know what is CO.
ing on. 1t is not at all likely he
would have made a statement of
such serious import and have sign
ed his name to it without having
some strong basis for it.
If millions had been extracted
from the Treasury it is conceivable
that almost any desperate thing
would have been resorted to in or
der to cover it before Treasurer
Berry came into Office. Was there
a Treasury deficit that had to be
made good after Berry's election?
1t is certainly very grave question
TO raise unless there are some facts
to support it, and Representative
Thomas has made reputation for
saying or doing things idly.
The whole State is asking who
really got the money. 1t is an in
teresting feature of the investiga-
tion, and the committee will, of
course, undertake to find out wheth
er it was used to cover a Treasury
deficit or went to fatt II the purses
OF individuals standing behind the
contractors. PhIa. Record.

JIM, THE POULTRY RAISER.
BY CAROL ID. KRUM.

James Boswell was a poultry
raiser living in Bonneville. He did
not know very much about the
sciences and studies of today, but
he did know how to raise poultry,
and could converse with anyone on
that subject.
When Jim's daughter came home
from oarding school, her mother
informed her that she must learn
all about poultry raising as soon as
possible to please her father. But
one evening his anger was aroused
when he wanted Eleanor to set the
broken leg of one of his pet ban
tams, and she couldn't.
Been three years to boardin'
school, and can't mend a broken
leg" he said, Guess you'd better
staid home and helped me, but I'm
not the only fool in the country
There's Squire Brown, he sent his
son Bob to school for four years

and lie came back with nothing but
bugs on the brain. The only ad-
vantage | have over the Squire is
that 1t took his son year longer to
learn abont bugs than it did my
daughter to learn nothing. Now
he's raisin those bees. Why don't
he put such nonsense out Of his
head and become lawyer like his
father
Several evenings later as the
door bell rang and Eleanor had left
the sitting room he said 10 his wife
in loud voice whats that chap
coming here SO often for?' Hush
Jim, she returned "he's calling on
Eleanor" Calling on Eleanor"
he exclaimed, "well I want it stop.
ped. How IN he ever keep wife
raising bugs?"
On the following day he receiv-
ed letter from Bob, asking for his
daughter in marriage.
That evening when Bob called Mr..
Boswell walked into the parlor with
basket containing twenty eggs.
Now Bob, if you bring me four
teen chickens out Of these eggs in
twenty days you may have my
daughter. "All right Mr.. Boswell,
I'm agreed" said Bob. "Oh Bob,
you can never do it," Eleanor ex.
claimed after her father had left the
room.
Never mind Eleanor, but come
show me your fathers incubators.
Finally the evening of the TWEEN.
tieth day came and Eleanor was
waiting nervously in the parlor un-
til ten O'Clock. Guess Bob aint
so smart as he thought he was"
her father said. Just then the bell
rang and Bob walked irto the room
saying. "I'm a little late but here
are your chickens. There are eigh.
teen in number. four for good
measure"
Good gracious! Eighteen! What
do you know about chickens?" he
said all in one breath. well Mr..
Boswell l got Eleanor to show m
your incubators and l noticed the
temperature was the same as in my
beehives SO put the eggs in the
hive and in nineteen days the
chickens came out"
"Well, you've played me a nice
trick" he said. Guess you know
something else besides raising bugs.
You may take my daughter, and
besides that III give you check"

sacks to hold them. 1t is said that
each catalog costs the firm one dolla-

$500 for the books and 500 for postage.
Six hundred. dollars spent in Larned

of what the mail order houses are
doing in nearly every town in the

lieve in advertising Does advertising
pay? Ask Sears Roebuk. The only
thing on earth that keeps up the mail
order house is advertising. Exchange.

SIZE OF CENTRAL AMERICA.

Vey few persons, says JohnBarrett
in Reviews, have a correct impression
of the size of Central America as a
whole or of its states, taken separately.
California seems, like large state.
1t extends TO miles along the Pacific
and has an extreme width of 375 miles.
If California were laid end for end
on Central America it would cover it
with the exception of Salvador, which
is just the size of New Jersey and
occupies a little over 1000 square
miles. States in another way, if
Central America were lifted up bodily
and were laid down on our Atlantic
coast, it would just hide all NewEng-
