RENDERING A DOUBLE SERVICE

PROFESSOR SURFACES recon-
mendation that the people of
4 Pennsylvania use red cedars for
Christmas trees not only because
they are quite as ornamental as the
spruces and pines. but because the
red cedar is the prey of cedar rust"
that is also very destructive to fruit
trees. is practical in the extreme
There has been much criticism of
the Christmas tree custom in recent
years, due to the fact that whole for
ests of young trees are cut annually to
meet the enormous demand. Conser-
vationists have expressed the belief
that these should be left on the land to
help replenish the fast failing lumber
supply. But certainly there can be no
objection to the removal of trees that
by their presence threaten the produc-
tivity of our orchards, and when we
do this and at the same time provide
our homes with the cheer of Christ
mas greens we have at one stroke
rendered a double service. The sug-
gestion should be widely observed.

A Gift Should
Have Character

IT need not be expensive, but
1t should carry with it a senti-
ment.
Above all else there should be
no doubt as to it's quality.
There are many standard ar
ticles small in price which meet
these specifications.
They are marked with names
or trademarks that for years
have stood for business integ-
rity.
They carry their own message
of good taste and good character.
They are welcome gifts.
Most of these things are well
known, because the manufactur-
ers, proud of their products, have
kept them in the public eye by

When Amber announced his can

issued a statement that he would sup
port him, and Representative William
II. Wilson, of Philadelphia, also lined
up. Ware men in Philadelphia ap-
peared to be going on the assumption
that DR.. Brumbaugh was behind Am
bier, but friends of other candidates
asked for evidence of it.
Baldwin in his statement last
night said that he was not surprised
at Senator Vare's attitude and charged
that he was pulling chestnuts out of
the fire for others. He said: 1T must
be amusing to members of the last

The free-for-all state of the race
of Representatives was accentuated
last night when Representative Rich

declaration of Representative Charles
A. Amber, of Montgomery county,
that he would enter the contest for
Speaker, he would remain in the fight.
At the same time friends of Henry I.

ing about ready to hop in.

II am still of the opinion, as result
of contact with many citizens from

of the matter is, the question should

The manner in which j. Wood

"Now we know how the Russians

have organized is enormous The
Russians are informed of everything
that is happening in the daytime by
spies who light fires that produce
smoke of various colors as suit their
purpose. At night they signal with
lights. Mirrors are also utilized for
signalling when the sun permits.

PUBLIC MUST MEET
TREASURY DEFICIT
President Says National Funds Must
Not be Depleted and Appeals
to Patriotism to Meet
Money Crisis.

Washington, D. c., Sept. g.
President Wilson personally ad-
dressed congress in joint session
yesterday urging legislation to raise
$100,OO0,O0O year additional rev.
enue through internal taxes to meet
treasury deficit threatened by the
conflicts in Europe.
The president told congress that
he performed duty that he wished
with all his heart might have been
spared, but which he performed
without hesitation or apology, be-
cause of the danger in present cir
cumstances to create moments
doubt as to the strength and sutfic-
iency of the treasury of the United
States"
While the treasury, he said, could
get along for a considerable period,
he pointed out the peril of the gov
ernment's withdrawing from nation
al banks approximately s75,O00,0O0
of the treasury balance deposited
there; advised against the govern
ment borrowing money or selling
bonds which would make most
untimely and unjustifiable demand
on the money market" and appeal
ed to the intelligent and profound
ly patriotic public to bear the bur-
den of a special tax to meet the un-
foreseen emergency.
Congress listened attentively to
the address. Immediately on its
conclusion the legislative machinery
was set in motion to carry its recon-
mendations into effect. Chairman
Underwood called meeting of the
ways and means committee to per-
feet an internal revenue measure
tentatively drafted in preliminary
conferences. A bill will be introduce
ed as soon as possible.
