zell Factory Inspector.

Captain John c. Delaney in the Penn
sylvania state bureau of factory in
spection, was appointed chief OF the
bureau by Governor Tener, to succeed
Delaney, who was dismissed from the
position.
Hartzell's appointment is regarded
in Harrisburg as a temporary one, as
the governor is said TO have plans un-
der consideration which will consoli-
date this department with others.
For the time being. however, Hart
zell will have full charge of the bu-
reau and will retain practically the
same force as served under Captain

HORTICULTURISTS OF DELAWARE
WILL MEET In WILMINGTON.

Much interest Is manifested regarding
the address to be delivered byO H. Ben
son, of the United States Department Of
Agriculture, at the convention of the
Peninsula Horticultural Society at Viii
mington, January IA H.
"Our culture must be strongly mixed
with American agriculture" says Mr..
Benson. THE true function OF a school
is to give expression to child life within
its immediate surroundings. There is
quite as much education and true learn
ing in the analysis OF an ear of corn as in
the analysis OF complex sentence; abili-
ty to analyze clover and alfalfa roots
Eavors of quite as much culture as does
the study of the Latin and Greek roots,
Our educational policy should be built
from the ground up rather than from the
top to the ground Instead of the ex
ploitations of wars and bloodshed in Uni
ted States history" continues Mr. Ben
son, ''let us substitute the story of the
history of our national agriculture and
the captains of our national industries.
The religion which ignores the sacredness
of Gods acres is not efficient and cannot
administer to man's true spiritual needs.
1.-The school exists for the child and
the taxpayers and therefore serve local
needs first Our education for 1913 should
conserve equally well the training of the
head heart, hands and health, and there
fore our truly educated should be four
square Careful selection of rural school
literature has quite as much significance
as the eaFefuI selection of seed corn, if
we hope to get a good crop Of lovers OF
good literature in our rural schools
Redirect your rural and village edu-
cation along agricultural lines, and You
will turn the tide of American manhood
back to the farm, or better still, you will
keep the best of rural energy where it is
most efficient Continue the cold policy |
of culture sake education and you will
impOverish American manhood as well |
as agriculture; a new downfall of Rome |
will be experienced but this time in |
America "
MIR Benson is thorough believer in |
practical agricultural education, for he
says: TO be able to recognize a Latin
verb at sight, bnt know nothing about
the composition of the soil at our feet is
evidence of misdirection and ignorance"
He believes school books should be local
lied and that the way to do this is for
every State to write and publish its own
books. Educational circles will be given
a sensation by Mr.. Benson's discussion
at the convention of the Education Of
the American boy"

CORNER VIOLATES
SHERMAN LAW
indictment Of Patton in Cotton
Deal Declared Valid
MUST NOW FACE TRIAL
United States Supreme Court Lays
Down Principle Affecting specula-
tion In Interstate Commodities.

The supreme court OF the United
States laid down the far-reaching prin
ciple that corners" of interstate com
modities, such as clothing and food, are
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law, and held that, as far as the Sher-
man act was concerned, the indict-
ment in the New York federal court OF
James A. Patten, Eugene @. Searles
Frank H. Hayne and William P. Brown
for "conspiring to run an alleged cot
ton corner" was valid The case
against them was sent back for trial
or other proceedings.
Justice Vandevanter announced the
opinion Of the court. Justice Lurton
delivered a dissenting opinion, in
which Chief Justice White and JUS
tice Holmes concurred.
The majority Of the court held that
the circuit court for southern New
York had decided that the Indictment
charged a Withholding" of the cotton
from the market, d necessary element
of a corner as admitted by the gov
ernment.
The minority held that the circuit
court found the Indictment did not so
charge and for that reason the indict-
ment was faulty.
According TO all the justices the cor
rectness OF the holding of the circuit
court as to the indictment charging a
Withholding, and as to the sufficien-
cy of the Indictment on other techni-
cal points had to be accepted at this
time without question by the supreme
court.
The points thus left undecided may
be made the basis for bringing the
case to the court again, if the defend
ants are convicted upon trial
Solicitor General Bullitt, who pre-
sented the governments side of the
case, issued a statement after the de-
cision in which he said that at last
way had been found to stop the run
ming up of prices by men who sought
to corner the market, not only of cot
ton, but wheat, corn, lard and other
commodities.
In his opinion, Justice Vandevanter
dealt at length with the defense that
the accused men were not engaged in
interstate commerce.
THE first section Of the act. upon
which the counts are founded" said |
he, lis not confined to voluntary re-
straint as where persons engaged in
interstate trade or commerce agree to /
suppress competition among them
selves, but includes as we'll involun-
-ary restraint, as where persons not
50 engaged conspire to compel action
~ others, or to create artificial condi-
ions, which necessarily impede or
burden the due course of such trade
,r commerce or restrict the common
liberty to engage therein"

"A delightful social event took place
Saturday, Nov. 1st, at the Frank

have passed since this estimable couu- couu
pie were united in marriage in this
very home. A few relatives and init
mate friends Of Mr. and Mrs. Clark
planned surprise for them on this
day, and SO successfully were their
plans carried out that no thought
of what was going on entered their
unsuspecting minds. Mrs. Waugh
and daughter OF Manchester had been
planning q visit at Mr.. Clark's, and
phoned that they had decided to &go
on the train Saturday morning. Mr..

and other neighbors had teams at
the station to take the guests to

was reached quite a procession had
formed in line. Mrs. Clark came
out to meet Miss Mamie Waugh and
her mother, and with wide fopen
eyes she greeted small army Of
friends who were smiling deligh.edly
at her complete surprise. 1t was not
