DOCUMENTS FOR
FARMERS BY TONS
Immense Publication Work Carried
on by the State Depart
ment of Agriculture
GIVING GOOD ADVICE, TOO
Publications Will Run Over a Mil
lion and Half Within a
Dozen Years
By Hoban

Almost a million and a half docu-
ments of various kinds have been is
sued for the benefit of the farmers,
fruit growers, stock raisers, truck
gardners and dairymen of Pennsyl-
vania by the State Department of
Agriculture in the last dozen years.
A statement showing the tremendous
amount of literature devoted to agri-
culture and its allied branches was
prepared at the department to-day
and shows the extensive educational
work that is being done.
During 1912 and 1913 the depart
ment issued twenty-siX bulletins and
since 1899 thirteen annual reports
aggregating nearly $4,000 pages and
III bulletins containing almost 49,
600 pages. During the same period
there were distributed about 100000
copies of departmental publications
and approximately the same number
went out through members of the Leg
islature. The divisions of the econo-
mic zoologist and dairy and food COM
missioner issued about 650,000 copies
of bulletins, some of them of great
practical value to farmers and there
are other bulletins put out by the
State livestock sanitary board which
run up the total to a surprising figure.
The publications are handled sep
arately from the other educational
work of the department, which in
cludes institutes, farm advisors and
direct announcement of conservation
and improvement that is being con-
Quoted throughout the State quietly,
but effectively in spite of the misrep-
resentation going on about it, mainly
from illy-coached stump speakers.

ARMY is WILLING TO
PLAY IN PHILADELPHIA
.Sbecial TO The TeIerrabh

Philadelphia, Sept. Sit begins to
look more and more as though the
annual Army-Navy football game will
be played in Philadelphia this year.
The West Point officials have notified
the local committee that they are
willing to come here, and, as this city
has been the choice of the middies
right along, the game is virtually as
sured.
Negotiations have been started be-
tween the two academies to alternate
each year between Philadelphia and
New York, starting with this city this
year. A ten-year contract is desired.
1t is understood that Shibe Park will
be the scene of the big gridiron battle.
Franklin Field. where the game was
formerly staged, cannot accommodate
the crowds, particularly as the rival
academies demand 1880 tickets
each.
Shibe Park, home of the Athletics,
is favored. The present seating ca
pacity is slightly over 10000. but ad-
ditional stands can be erected, the
promoters claim, which would per-
nit $4,000 to see the game.

How They Stand in
National League Race

Philadelphia, September 3. - The
Boston Braves. in winning both games
yesterday from the Phillies, jumped
into first place in the National League
race and are now almost one game
ahead of the Giants.
The Boston team has made a Won
derful record, moving up from last
place to the very front in a little less
than seven weeks. Only July s they
moved out of the cellar position and
have been climbing steadily ever since.
The defeat of st. Louis by Pittsburgh,
the overthrow of New York by Brook
lyn and the downfall of Chicago at
Cincinnati >all enhanced the Braves
chances of winning the pennant.
New York is now three games ahead
of st. Louis and Boston is four games
ahead of the Cards, who are still in
the hunt. Owing to the differences in
percentages Boston, while not quite
one full game ahead of New York, is
four full games ahead of st. Louis.
Every game played brings the close
of the season nearer, which adds to
the importance of each game, as less
time remains to catch, up on defeats
sustained and a few games to win to
retain the lead.
Johnny Evers, captain and second
baseman of the Braves, was unable to
play in the games yesterday owing to
Atlantic City. While Whitted played
strong and fast game at second yes
terday, Evers' absence will be seriously
missed if he is obliged to remain out
of the game for any length of time:
Evers said last night that he did not
feel fit, but hoped to get into the game
again very soon.

LIMIT LIQUOR SHIPMENTS


jackson, Miss. June %. The
supreme court rendered a de.
cision today declaring constitu
tional that clause Of the new
May. Mott. Lewis liquor law lin.
iting liquor shipments to individ
uals to one gallon at time
The statute was resisted by
liquor dealers in other states and
express companies engaged in
interstate business. The deci-
sion, read by Chief Justice sgd.
ney Smith, is quite lengthy, and
uphoIds the spirit Of the Webb
Kenyon act.
The court did not touch upon
that provision of the new law
prohibiting locker clubs. That
clause will be dealt with in
another case now pending.
The attorney general was
asked by the express companies
to join in the presentation of the
case. which involved the legal
ity of the May.Mott.Le bill,
and deeming it a matter Of pub
lie interest accepted.
By its decision today the su-
preme court upholds the sections
specifying a limit to the guam.
tity Of liquors that can be shipped.
and upholding the spirit Of the
Webb Kenyon act. which gives
to the various states the right to
prohibit liquor being sent into
dry" territory.
It is anticipated that other
features of the liquor bill. in I
cluding prohibiting locker clubs
from keeping liquors on the
premises Of such organizations.
will be decided at an early date,
cases involving the constitu
tionality of sections of the act
relating thereto now being in
the consultation room.
The decision of the supreme
court means that no person in
Mississippi can receive by any
carrier more than a gallon of
whiskey or wine or a cask of
beer in a single shipment.

chased a handsome Studebaker
and will have the agency here

sums will be associated with the
local agency in sales capacito.
Mr.. Stephenson expects a car
load of machines at an early date
and on their arrival they will be
parked at their new headquarters
en- South Market street. It is
expected that this agency will do
a large volume or business as the
Studebaker is one of the best
and handsomest cars on the mar
ket.

No North, No South.

Washington, June 22. Pres
ident Wilson today expressed the
wish that the Mason-Dixon line
be forever forgotten. In a letter
to President H. B. Joy of the
Lincoln Highway Association,
asking that the road run from
Philadelphia to Gettysbu r z,
through Washington, the pres
ident suggested that it would be
a good means of further obliter-
ating sectional feeling between
the north and the south.
II am sure the entire country
is interested to see to it that
there no longer should exist a
north or a south in this abso-
lutely united country, which we
all love-" wrote the president,
"and that the imaginary Mason
and Dixon's line should be made
once and for all a thing Of the
past"

FRIGHTENED BV POLICE


Burglars entered the home OF
Mr.. Paul O'Connor. located on
the corner Of Twelfth and Col
lege streets shortly after IL
O'Clock Monday night, but were
frightened away before being
able to carry out their plans.
Mr.. O'Connor is q conductor
on the Mobile and Ohio accom-
odation train between Tusca.
loosa and Artesia. which re.
mains in Columbus throughout
the night.
On account of suffering with
rheumatism he did not make his
regular run Monday. On Mon
day evening Mr.. and Mrs.
O'Connor attended the W. |.
Swan show, returning home
about 1890 o'clock. On account
of the extremely hot weather
they did not retire until q late
hour. Shortly after midnight.
Mrs. O'Connor was awakened BY
q noise in the back of the home.
Being unable to awaken her
husband. and seeing q gentleman
passing on College street she
called from her window to him
stating that burglars were in the
house. He replied that he was
unarmed. but quickly went to q
nearby telephone and called the
police station. Officers Morton
and Hudson fastened to the
scene and as they were entering
the place the robbers made way
through the back door, and after
jumping the fence in the side
yard escaped up College street.
An investigation was made
and it was found that nothing
had been stolen. The identity
Of the burglars still remains un.
solved.
It is often the case that Mr..
O'Connor has with him an
amount Of money belonging to
the railroad, and for this reason
it is thought that the parties who
attempted the robbery are
acquainted with him and know
that he usually has a sum of
money on his person.
Several neighbors who were
sitting on their porches late
Monday night noticed the strange
men as they were making their
escape but did not know. that
they had attempted burglary.
