LONG JOURNEY IN
SEARCH OF A PEACH
Representative of Depart
ment of Agriculture to
Make 25, 900 Mile Trip

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
Twenty-Five thousand miles looking for
peach-that is the stupendous Journey
which has been undertaken by Frank N.
Meyer, agricultural explorer for the Uni
ted States department of agriculture. The
peach is worthy of the effort. according
to the stories that have crept into coast
areas of Manchuria and Eastern China.
The peach is described by travellers who
have seen and tasted it as the biggest and
most marvellous combination of external
beauty and internal lusciousness Three
pounds is the apocryphal limit ascrbed
to the fruit by irresponsible natives of
the wilds of West China. Mr.. Meyer, in
report to the department, promises a
peach that will weigh at least pound
and is large as a muskmelon. This Won
derful peach grows in the province OF
Shantung. 1t is known to the Chinese as
the Felt Ching, or Felt Tau. No speci-
ments have ever been brought to the
coast of China. Mr. Meyer did bring
back with him from previous journey
several scions of the Felt Ching peach
and number of seeds The scions failed
to produce when grated upon American
grown seeding stocks. They had failed
to withstand transportation. The depart
ment experiments took a chance with
the seeds and have grown several trees
at the experimental station at Fayette-
vile, N. G.. None of them has yet fruit
ed, and it is the belief of the experts
that nothing extraordinary will be devel-
oped from the seedlings. Like other fruits
the seeding peach only develops desirable
fruftings in rare instances. According to
Luther Burbank, hardly more than one
desirable Seeding out OF planting Of 1Oo.-
600 seeds is to be expected by the agri-
culturists.
The 5000 mile journey of Mr.. Never
began fortnight ago, when he sailed for
London for conferences with notable
European agriculturists before he takes
the final dive into the Orient. 1t is nor
only the Felt Ching peach which is sound.
inR the call Of the east for the American
explorer. Under the direction Of the bu-
rSsu OF plant industry. Mr. Meyer IL In.

GERMS MUST GO

In America the dandruff germs must
go. The war of determination has been
declared. The battle has begun, and
ALREADY thousands of intelligent Ameri-
cans have permanently rid themselves
of this filthiness
Today IL is no more necessary for a
man to have dandruff in his hair than
to have tartar on his teeth.
Dandruff can never be cured until the
small, aggravating and indomitable
dandruff germ is conquered and de-
stroyed.
And millions of dandruff germs have
been destroyed, thanks to the great sci
enlist who gave to the world Partisan
Sage, the only real dandruff cure and
hair grower the world has ever known.
If you have dandruff, Partisan Sage
will cure you in two weeks, or your
money back.
But besides ridding the scalp OF dan
druff, Partisan Sage Is guaranteed to
stop falling hair and itching OF the
scalp. 1t Is not dye. 1t Is a prime
favorite with women of refinement 1t
makes the hair soft, lustrous and beau
|tiful, and is not sticky or greasy.

Now that the season of navigation has become a thing of the past and busy peo- pie are getting nicely settled for the winter months, the question of amusements for the chilly days is already beginning to manifest its,lt with the people of the Idltarcd dis trict As is usually the case in such in stances. the camps of the Arctic Borther- hood are foremost in such matters. Camp Iditarod Mo- 2! is already planning to give within a short time sort of social harvest home come -ye function, which will have . tendency to put everybody on good terms with themselves and everybody else, and start the winter series of gaieties off right.
 Never in the history of the camp hare the prospects looked better for a pleasant winter than does the Pioneers horoscope of coming events read at this time.
 The public will be pleased to learn that Camp Iditarod Mo- P, Acrtc Brotherhood, wiu have a well equipped gymnasium for the use of its members during the coming winter The movement to have such an institution, in addition to other Arctic Brotherhood acquisitions, with which all gre familiar, was started last spring by the members of the sports committee. The equipment fer the gym is conplate in every detail, consisting of one set parallel bars, enc set travelling rings, one set Roman rings, cna large vauIting horse, enc horj- zartal bar, chest weights, dum5bells, Indian clubs, plenty of mats, boxing gloves etc.
