Report Today That
Daniel 0. Hastings
is Out of the LIST of
Those Likely TO be
Named
SAYS SLATE WITH HIS
NAME IS NOT CORRECT

There had been persistent rumors for
several days that the members Of the
new State judiciary would be announc-
ed today by Governor Simeon S. Pcnne-
Will The Governor was not IN the
city this morning. but Secretary OF
state Hastings when asked about the
prospective appointments said they
would not be made today and he added
that he did not know when they would
be appointed
There were ell kinds Of rumors ahoat
again today. The 'judgesmiths' were
certainly busy building and tearing
down speculative benches. but the real
Judge -maker--Governor Pennewiil-
does not seem 10 be in any haste to as
semble the new judiciary. There is
really no urgent demand for the ap-
pointments TO be made az this time. as
81 will be several weeks before the terms
of the present judges expire. The terms
Of the present judiciary expire between
June 10 and June II. Chancellor Mich
olson being the first judge appointed
by Governor Tunnel and Judge Boyce
being the last
one report today that gained con-
siderable credence was TO the effect
that Secretary Of State Daniel o. Hast
ings would not be on the new bench.
II is known that for more than a week
he has been urged for a place on the
bench by prominent lawyers in both
parties who have requested the Cover
nor to appoint Mr.. Hastings At the
same time IL is known that while Mr.
Hastings appreciated the efforts being
made TO elevate him TO the bench he
had no desire to become a Judge At
I ings for a judicial place became so pro-
inounced that the 'judgesmiths" unani-
mously began TO write down Mr.. Hast
ings' name for resident judge Of New
Castle county.
Yesterday afternoon. however. the re-
port was spread about that Secretary
Hastings had let It be known clearly
70 some Of his close friends that ne did
not desire to go on the bench. This
report practically wiped the name Of
Mr. Hastings off the best guess" slate
Of those observing the situation, but
there are many yet reluctant 10 take
the name Of Mr.. Hastings out Of con-
sideration.
Mr. Hastings Comment.
When Secretary Of State Hastings
was asked about the best guess" slate
of judgeships. as put forward by. the
"judgesmiths' this morning and which
included his name for resident Judge Of
New Castle county, he replied:
Il do not know of any slate" he said,
But ! do know the slate as reported
is not correct in at least one instance
that is. insofar as It includes my name
for one OF the judges"
Further than this Mr.. Hastings would
not discuss the slate that has been
talked about for several days. His
statement was taken as an indication.
however, that he has let it be known
TO Governor Pennewill that he does not
wish 10 be considered for one OF the
/ ljudgeships
] Among the 'judgesmiths" today the
opinion seemed to be general that Judge
Pennewill would be appointed chief
justice, that Judge William II. Boyce

ROAD DRAGGING EXPERIENCES
Pennsylvania Supervisor Tells of Value
of Usinq the Draq.

of Using the Drag.
Supervisor Albert Croft of East
Uempfield township Lancaster cOun'
~. Pa, writes about the drag rs fol
lows:
First Of all. road dragging smooths
the roads. We have found that out
since we have been using the drag
The second thing is that road drag
ging makes the -oadbed tirmrr aud
enables it to shed water quicker than
Il road which has been undra@grd and
neglected. This is another Of our en-
periences. The third thing we have
shown has been that little dragging
done at the right time Is worth Il lot
more than dragging done In the thick
dust. This latter dusty condition of
the road Is not the time to work on
the road with Il drag. bat any other
time will do. though the best time of
all is right after a rain When we
first began to drag the township roads
the neighbOrs. many of them. were
skeptical. SO were we. But as things
went on the proof was demonstrated.
and now we are beginning to wonder
why we did not adopt 1t years ago.
THE principle of working up the
soft. sticky mud Of clay or loan
character means that 1t will grow hard
VIXEN left TO the rays of the sun, ard
1t is this idea Of working up a soft
roadbed after every rain. of smearing
over the entire road surface thin
layer of soft. pliable mud which will
become dry and hard. that now real
lie is giving us our solid roadbeds
where the drag is working. Our super
visor board pays the farmers who drag
the roads by their farms 81 cents per
hour for their labor. We are planning
to put more drags on our township
roads very soon. We have forty-four
miles Of dirt roads in East Hempfield
township. our assessed valuation Is
100000. and our road tax is 2 mills"

producers from the five states immc-

those attending IL were asked as to
the use and value Of the automobile

Thirty-ci"ht of them own automO-

They are used in marketing butter
fats mainly. but seven used the power
to operate Separators, one to flush his
dairy barn. another to operate his bot

The roads in thc creamery district
are better than the average country

From all parts of the country came
the suffragist faithful. architects and
art lovers to attend the lectures given
recently at Mrs. O. H. +. BelmontS

was doubtless rife in the cause of wo
mans rights upon these occasions. but
curiosity to see the interior of this
beautiful home was the motive which
led many OF the audience tu part with

Marble House is one of the show
houses of this country and faces on one
side Bellevue avenue and on the other
the famous Cliff walk. 1t was built by
the late Richard NJ. Hunt who also de-
signed The Breakers and Belcourt, and
is famous throughout the world as Il
work of art. Mrs. Belmont has been
asked many times to permit its inte
rior to be photographed. but has never
consented and has kept close guard
over the rare antiques she collected
when she made a trip around the
world in her late husbands yacht.
The lectures. the first one by DR.

National Suffrage association, on why
Women Should Vote" and the second

Dairy Gems.

Milk regularly and at reasonable
hours
The farmer who milks cows Is not
always a dairyman.
A few coed cows are worth more
than a lot of ordinary ones.
It's good management not luck. that
makes dairying profitable.
Spend plenty of time at the dairy
barns on the state fair grounds.
The COW that pays through the pail
and separator is the COW to keep.
Care in marketing the butter Is al
most rs important as care in produc-
ing it.
Fly repelants are still necessary. Do
not try to get along without them.
Even forty bushels of wheat to the
acre ut 81 per bushel can't beat dairy
farming.
It's a mistake to build creamery
before there are cows enough to make
1t Il success.
The statement that the Standard OIL
company can make butter out Of its
byproducts isn't worrying real dairy
men much.
When you admit that you haven't
time to test and weigh the milk so as
to keep record of each COW, = 4
haven't time to dairy right.
