REPORT SHOW ALL CROPS FAILURES.
llle Present Year A Bad One For Penn.
Sylyania AgricuIturistS All Along
The Line.

Pennsylvania will establish the
record of having a general cror
failure IN all lines for the year
1911, according to reports which
reach the state department OF
agriculture. This does not, how
ever, mean a complete failure,
though most Of the crops are not
better than 80 per cent of normal.
Corn will be about the best
crop Of all that the Keystone state
raises, and It's yield Will be but 60
per cent of normal. Even at
that, it is not advisable to brag
too heavily of the quality. The
wheat crop was poor and the oats
and rye and other grams are all
far below par. Alfalfa yields
have been good, but alfalfa grow.
ing in Pennsylvania is new, and
the state has no standard of com.
parson. Unfavorable conditions
prevented this crop from being
what it should be, at that. The
yields of hay have been only far.
Apples will be harvested in far
quantity and quality. Peaches
will be only about one. third In
quantity and the quality, except
from orchards that specialize on
fancy grades, Will not be excep-
tional. Other fruits are IN the
same class.
Generally unfavorable weather
conditions are responsible for
such a pesslmlshc summary.
Late frosts did not occur to MP
the fruit blossoms last spring but
one or TWO chilly nights came
that may have blghted the ten
der peach blossoms without act
uaIly frost biting them.
The rainless weeks of the
spring and early summer got IN
heir work, however and when
he rains finally began to fall |
'opiously a few weeks ago the re
ief came too late to do much good
n many quarters. Moreover,
Vhen the rams did come they
anne with such a vengeance Ia
many localities that some crops
yere washed out.

All Varieties Of Wheat Subject TO the
lleSSian Fly.

The inquiry Is made by a farm
er from Indiana County, as tc
whether certain varieties otwheat
are free from the attack of the
Hesslan fly. Prof. Surface gives
1T as his opinion that not much
dependence must be placed on
the selection of varieties of wheat
to control this pest.
"You can get no better infor.
nation IN the country concerning

ties of wheat, than you can OBJ
tam by writing to DR., Thomas F..
Hunt, Director of our State Ex.

valuable experiments there on
the subjects of varieties of wheat.
They have not made special tests

this line, as there is no specialist

Birthday Surprise Party.

Last Friday evening a birthday
surprise party was gwen at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs S. A. Nc
Clam who live IN Coles Valley
about one mile north of New
Grenada, for their son Eldop, 1t
being in honor Of his twenty first
birthday.
AS the last rays of the evening
sun had Illuminated the Western
horizon and and the shades of
night began TO creep slowly over
Coles Valley a traveller passing
through the valley might have
been Impressed by the calmness
OF the evening, but sometimes
caImness of the atmosphere pre-.
cedes a big storm and this fact
was soon verified to Eldon. AS
he was making some preparation
to go to New Grenada to spend
the evening, a few of his friends
called, and later the few became
a host. BY $50 al available
space IN the house was filed, and
you should have heard those boys
and girls laughing and singing
until they shook the mountains
on either side Of the valley. Aft
er several hours of enjoyment IN
games suitable for the occasion,
a supper was served consisting
of pie and the most elaborate
cake any lady could bake. After
all had done justice to the supper, |
they left for home feeling that
such a party IN the hospital le |
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Nc |
Clam was appreciated and en-
ioyed by all.
Was there a storm? Was it

RETURN TO Lace BLOUSE Lc0!FFvRE HIDES DAY EAR
WeII-Dressed Women Realize the Pos
siblities of This Most Charm
ing Garment.

The Irish lace blouse, simply fash
toned to show the beautiful pattern of
the lace, is a great fayorite still with
well dressed women, and there is ev-
cry indication that the summer vogue
Of real lace will be carried far into
the coming season. Many of the new,
est evening gowns are deliberately
flounced with lace.
At the moment one of the most fash
ionable laces is chantilly, which has
endless possibilities as a yelling. A
very tavorite combination is black and
white, and the smart afternoon frock
and evening toilet is carried out in
white charmeuse or crepe, yelled with
fine black chantilly. Sometimes the
tunic is of chantilly, and instead Of
clinging to the tight-htting skirt of
yesterday this lace tunic meets a frock
of valenciennes frills or a deep fiouuce
of chantilly.
Irish point de venise and flet are
used for fiat trimmings, and some very

Present Style Lends Itself to Those
Afflicted-Much May Be Done
in Infancy.

The girl with an ugly ear should re-
joice in the present style OF couture,
for it is easy to disguise her defect.
Hair is draped low on the sides. but
unless you wish to be thought earIess
or deiormed, do not draw your hair
too low.
a noted French beauty specialist
has said that a woman adds much to
her charm by half concealing her
ears, and few Frenchwomen would
draw the hair straight up from the
ears in the fashion that Americans
adopt.
The same authority states that
every woman who would look young
should put a daub Of rouge on the
lobe Of the ear and should be careful
not to wear earrings il they harden
the lines of the face or make it ap-
pear broader
II one has an ugly ear or an ugly
hand it is better unadorned. though
sometimes distorted or badly shaped
lobe is half concealed by circular ear
rings.
The present day hat is friendly to
the ugly ear, as one can tuck punches
Of flowers. rosettes or lace frills under
the brim. 1t is easy to adjust velvet
steamers 50 they fail over the ears.
If ears are badly shaped little can
he done to remedy them-art is the
sole hope; but if they s,and ont, some
OF the muscles may be cut. This
should never be done save by a sur
geon, and one who is a specialist.
Mothers have much to answer for
in permitting outstanding ears on chill
drcn. 1t is carelessness or ignorance
not to use ear straps during the fOrma-
tive period. There are several good
varieties sold. Babies should not SC
qu!re the habit OF playing with the
lobe of the ear or of sleeping with it
twisted under, as harm can be done
to the best shaped organ in this way.
The flaming ear is trying and. if
not caused by digestive or blood
troubles. the colorfulness should be
blotted out by powder.

WHAT DR.. WAHRER THINKS
Reads Paper at Chicago Meeting on
"Intemperance and Life insurance."
Reviewing Drink Habit.

A paper on "Intemperance and Life
Insurance" was read by DR.. C. II.
Wahrer, at a meeting of the Tri-State
Medical society, held in Chicago. He
reviewed the subject from the medi-
cal standpoint, that there is a serious
impairment of vitality by the habitual
use Of alcoholic drinks. In the course
OF the paper he said:
'Whatever difference of opinion
there may be between the temperance
fanatic and the tippler, one thing is
certain; the fnanciers all over the
world who have their money invested
in life insurance companies, all agree
that drinkers belong in the class of
hazardous risks, and their conclusions
are right. Physicians, hygienists and
Psychologists are now a unit on the
conclusion that even moderate drink
ing men can be of no benefit to any
one, that it may easily, without strain
ing a point, lead to immOderate drink
ing, and that the latter, in the major
ity of cases, is injurious to health, not
only jeOpardiZing the best interests
Of the habitue, but becoming a serious
menace to him in case he should ever
get sick. The outlook for a man who
should fall Ill with pneumonia ty-
phOid fever, dysentery, nephritis, heart
disease, diabetes and affections of the
liver is bad enough under the best of
circumstances. but if the patient is
an Incorporate man, his hope for re-
CoYery is reduced very materially, and
the fight for life is desperate il not
hopeless. Every physician who has
had much emergency hospital pra .tice
or even private practice among the in
temperate, can give his assent to these
statements. I'VE further know that
men who follow hazardous occupa-
tons are frequently liable to injuries.
IN case the party injured is temper
ate, his chances for recovery from
the injuries are far in excess Of the
man who uses intoxicants.
The matter seems to be of suffi-
cient Importance to these interested
in life insurance, both as individuals
who carry the policies as well as the
companies who insure them. | might

tables and furnishing data from most

this is not necessary, for the class

experience that my assertions are

RACE SUICIDE AND LIQUOR
Degradation Seen, Not Only In Those
Who Drink, but It Is Blight on
Children Following.

The curse Of liquor is seen not only
in the degradation of those who in
dulge in it, but it is especially blight
or the children who follow them. This
fact should arouse all who have any
regard for the weak and helpless.
Speaking Of drink and infanticide a
note in the Lutheran Standard says:
Eighty years ago when the Norwe-
CLANS were drinking people, 300 Of
every ! 1000 children born died before
they reached their first birthday ami
versary. Now, since they are a sober
people, the ratio is so and 90 per / coo

exists, of every 1000 born. 500 do not
