Too Much Dope" In Catsup.
State and Federal Authorities 10 Make Large
Seizures.

Large seizures of catsup will
probably be made throughout Penn
sylvania by both State and Federal
pure food authorities. Reports sub
mitted by chemists employed by
Dairy and Food Commissioner
Foust show that about half of
the different brands of tomato cat
sup sold i'll Pennsylvania contain
from two-enths to three-tenths of
one per cent. of sodium benzoate,
while under the rules and regula-
tions of the National Food and
Drugs act, as well as under the
rules and regulations of the Penn
sylvania food law, only one-tenth
Of one per cent. is allowed and this
must be stated OIL the label.
Commissioner Foust notified Ma
tional Secretary of Agriculture Will
son of this condition, and Govern.
ment Chemist Wiley instituted an
independent investigation of all the
catsup in this State that has figured
in interstate commerce. The result
is that the State and National au-
thori:ies will clean up all the catsur
that is adulterated or misbranded.

Was President Just for a Day.

Though the lists of the Presi.
dents of the United States, which
bob up frequently, contain no men,
tion of the fact, it is nevertheless
true that there was one man who
held the Office of Chief Executive
for one day.
There was no ceremony attend
ant upon his induction into Office -
but just the same, he filled the
chair and as President signed one
document Of State.
His name was David Rice At
Gibson and Kentucky was his home.
He was appointed Senator from the
State in lS4I and was elected to the
post Of president pro tempore for
the terms covering the period be-
tween 1916 and IS4e.
The calendar made him Presi.
dent for one day. When March 4,
IS4o, came around it was Sunday,
and though the terms of their pre-
decessors had officially expired,
Zachary Taylor and Millard Fill
more could not be inaugurated un'
til Monday, March S.
Consequently the nation was
without an elected head and At
Gibson as the president pro tempore
OF The Senate "went on the job.
He didn't get very good chance
to show what he could do, though
for all the Government machinery
naturally, was at standstill. Blu
he was President, nevertheless.

Meat Inspectors in this District.

The meat inspectors in the EN-
ploy Of the State, are appearing in
this section of the State. Their Wis
its to several towns in this vicinity
are sudden and no warning is given
Of their approach.
One day last week three of the
inspectors dropped into Shamokin,
taking a look at the curbstonc mar
ket and inspecting the various meat
markets of the town. Several of
the farmers on the market whose
meat was displayed for sale in open
wagons came in for a share of the
displeasure of the inspector and
were politely informed that the law
would not permit conveyance of
that kind, the meat lying open to
dust and germs of all kinds. In
the butcher shops the proprietors
were ordered to clean up their plac.
es of business before the next visit
or they would be subject to heavy
penalties. The order also included
all slaughter houses.

The Changers and Their Work.

We own to all abatement of per-
sonal interest in the proceedings of
the annual conventions of the
Grangers of Pennsylvania. There
was time when our heart bled at
the recital of the wrongs which the
wicked politicians and soulless cor
porations put upon these amiable
and worthy citizens and which were
the sum and substance of the gar
rnlity at these annual meetings
But we are no longer susceptible to
such emotions. We have seen so
many of the pastoral orators Of
such occasions subsequently give
exhibition of high and lofty politi-
cal tumblng that we have come to
the conclusion that sympathy is
wasted upon them. Some Of them
can give the most expert political
crooks points and beat them at
their own game.
For example, last fall when il
was possible to defeat the Republi
can machine, which is responsible
for all the corporate abuses of re-
cent years, the Grangers remained
at home and thus permitted the ma
chine to renew its grasp upon the
people. If the professions of hos
tility to corporation aggression,
which are the burden Of the Grang-
ers' convers ton, had been express
ed in the ballot box on the 5th of
last November, those public enc
mics would have received a chas-
tisement which might have kept
them on their good behavior for a
score of years. But our Granger
friends preferred to husk corn and
let the politicians regain their mas
terry of the Commonwealth.

The Story of the Farm.
Many Reassuring Facts in Secretary viii.
sons Statement.

At time Of financial readiust.
ment all examination of working as
sets is general. Among the most
important of the public documents
as congress assemblies is the report
of the secretary of agriculture,
whose department has grown stead
lily, and is conducted with energy
and enterprise. Secretary Wilson's
statement is full of reassuring facts.
So comprehensively is this true that
the bank disturbance of the mo-
ment is entirely out of keeping with
the state of the country and it's
general industries. The crops Of
1907 are not the largest that have
been raised, but will sell for more
money and represent larger for.

ducts for 1907 are valued by the
secretary at S7,4I2, 900, 900, which
exceeds the high record of 1906 by
S657 900, 900, figures that bespeak
remarkable prosperity. The 1907
corn crop is valued at $3.50, ,ooo,-
900, or twenty-six per cent. above
the average value of the previous
five crops. Cotton holds its high
valuation and the wheat crop is
more valuable by 5h per cent.
Taking farm cereals as a whole
their value in 1907 is twenty-three
per cent. above the average of the
last five years. This year dairy
products reached $500, 900, 900

Advantage of Postal Savings Banks
From Leslle's Weekly.


We desire to encourage among
Our people economy and thrift. and
by the use of the postal savings
banks to give them every opportun-
ity to husband their resources.
The policy will not be to compete
in any way with the savings banks,
but rather to encourage the habit
of depositing savings. The people
that we shall want to reach are,
first, those who have not the facili-
ties at hand FOR depositing their
money in savings bank, and sec
ondly, the foreign population which
is entering the country IN such
enormous numbers and which is,
to great extent, boarding its sur
plus earnings. The immigrants
reach the United States suspicious
of any private banking institution
but with absolute faith in the gov
ernment. We have evidence Of
this III the fact that they are buy
ing postal money orders payable to
themselves. Our object is to bring
money to light. to instill life into
it, and to lead it again into the
channels of trade, for the mutual
benefit of labor and capital. and
thus add to the prosperity through
out the land.

Help to Carry the Christmas Load.

What is one mans meat is an
other mans poison. The hustle of
Christmas preparation is a pleasur-
able activity to the most of us, but
wearisome burden to thousands
of official and unofficial public SER
wants upon whom falls the task of
assisting in the selection and deliv-
cry of holiday gifts. 1t behooves
us, therefore, to
Remember the salespeople in the
shops. We can tighten their labors
by the exercise of little patience
and forbearance, and by shopping
early in the day, thereby relieving
the strain of the busiest hours.
Remember the overworked crews
Of the delivery wagons. Their
work is unnecessarily increased
when, in the rush and crush of the
holiday traffic, we leave for them
to deliver small packages which we
might with very little inconveni-
ence carry home ourselves.
Remember the hurried express
man and the worn-out letter car
rier. By expressing and mailing
parcels for distant friends now the
distribution of Christmas cheer may
be spread over a longer period and
the staggering load of 'last-min-
ute" giving under which they usu-
ally struggle may be more comfort
ably adjusted.
A little forethought-a little of
the real Christmas spirit-will ac-
complish wonders in behalf of those
whose employment is such that
they regard the approach of 'this
season with dread rather than with
joyus anticipation. Why not do
your share ?-Ee.

Preachers in the Wheel.

Judge Mari, who is assisting the
jury commissioners in Schuylkill
county, to select persons to serve
as jurors next year, has directed
that the names of every clergyman
in the county be placed in the
wheel. 1t is said his honor made
this order because SO many minis
tiers criticise the actions of the
court. By attending as jurors it is
expected that these critics will
learn to know the proceedings of

Our Farmers on NatiouaI Issues.

The Senators and Representatives
il Congress from Pennsylvania
would do we'll to carefully note the
able report Of the Pennsylvania
Grangers against Capitalization of
power; against the lawless duties
which are maintained whilst mil
lions are expended on forestry;
against the construction and main-
tenance Of a World Power navy,
and, finally, against that familiar
old pirate known as the Ship Sub
sidy bill. A more wholesome
declaration upon public questions
has never before been made by a
partisan body of men in Penn
sylvania.
The farmers of Pennsylvania,
no thus speak through their State
auge, have no conception of the
jdom of eXpeuding upward Of
90, 10000 year upon the navy
lille millions are needed to pro-
mote peaceful inland navigation.
Nor do they believe in paying ship
subsidies out of the public treasury
to create great monopoly of trans
portation on the high seas. But
the Grangers also would do we'll to
consider how little their report is
worth unless they affirm it by the
practicable means which is afforded
only by the ballot box. Of what
good are their protests against ship
subsidies, waste of public money in
monstrous naval toys, lumber duties
and the like when they help to send
to Congress delegates who vote
steadily for these things?
In the Fifty-nin,h Congress there
was not a Republican representa-
tive from Pennsylvania, save one,
who was not in favor Of every meas
ure of ship subsidy that might be
reported from committee; not a
Quaker representative who did not
favor the largest appropriation de-
manded by the Administration for
big ships in face of the efforts of
the struggling nations to secure
some limitations Of armament. In
the present Congress there is not a
Republican member who will vote
for repeal of the lumber duties, not
withstanding the encouragement OF
these duties to the ravage of Amer,
ican forests for the benefit of huge
monopoly.
The explanation of the apparent.
ly strange political anomaly may
be simple enough. When in Their
State convention the Grangers oi
Pennsylvania soberly and dispas.
sionately discuss public questions
with entire freedom from the spirit
of party. When the election comes
around they go to the ballot box
under the thraldom of party anc
vote the other way. Is it not quite
natural, then, that the members O
Congress should act as the Granger.

Gold in Ducks Craw.

John Dunkelberger, a Seven
Points, Northumberland county,
farmer, was cleaning duck Thurs
day preparatory to taking it to the
Sunbury market, when he found a
small piece of gold in its craw. He
was greatly excited over the dis.
covery, for it showed that gold
existed somewhere on his farm. 1t
has long been believed that ledges
rich in the ore of the precious
metal are in that part OF the country.
They have never been uncovered,
however, although there has been
many a fruitless search for them.
Mr.. Dunkelberger sent for ex-
pert prospectors to go over every
inch of ground he owns.
He has been offered fabulous
sums for his farm. His neighbors
are as excited as he and all of them
are searching their own property in
the hope of stumbling upon a
bonanza.
