Comparatively few Augusta people
probably knew until Tuesday that one
of the best lightweight boxers that the
country ever produced and a former
champion in his class--Jack McAuliff,
had been stopping in the city. Mr..
McAuliff and his wife were in town
and left Tuesday for Waterville. Since
leaving the ring Mr.. McAulliff has been
engaged in the manufacture of pocket
books and his visit to Augusta was for
the purpose of demonstrating the same.

Garden Thieves

kennebec Journal:
There are complaints that garden
thieves are becoming very numerous
and bold. Cannot someone manage
to have one or two arrests made? A
good fine would no doubt check the
nuisance. Reports come of corn, Gu
cumber vines and pear trees being
stripped. The city authorities by off
ering a reward for the arrest and con-
viction of petty thieves would no doubt
have a good effect.

A PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE

.HE colored people of Harrisburg
will bring to this city for an
= address tomorrow Henry Lin
coin Johnson. recorder of deeds
of Washington and one of the most
eloquent men. black or white, in the
country. Mr.. Johnson is one of the
brightest and most progressive of the
negroes of America. He has shown
his people that mere color is no bar to
advancement in life. but that back
of success lies hard work, persistence,
education and ability.
Mr.. Johnson comes to Harrisburg at
the invitation of some of the colored
men of the city who believe as he
does that the progress of the negro
race in America lies along the lines
he has followed with such marked
distinction.
The leaders of the colored race in
Harrisburg have high ideals. They are
doing work of surprising scope and
importance which only those who
come into contact with them most inti-
mately realize. and Mr.. Johnsons visit
is only one of the ways in which their
campaign for racial advancement is
being waged.

MT. GRETNA CAMP SITE

~ PENNSYLVANIA is fortunate in
r having such an admirable mill
l tary camp site as Mt. Gretna.
In case of the emergency that
seems all too certain to come the Ma
tional Guard will find there a mobili-
zation point at once conveniently and
centrally located and as pleasant and
sanitary as any place that might be
found in the whole State.
Twenty thousand militiamen could
be accommodated at Mt. Gretna with
out over-crowding. The campground
covers 200 acres. 1t has been careful
ly laid out in company streets and the
military authorities of the Common
wealth have made everything in readi-
ness for the assignment of troops. the
pitching of canvas and the supplying
of the vast and suddenly called to-
gether army with adequate food supply
and plenty of pure water. The whole
Guard division of the State could be
thrown into camp there in the space
of few hours.
1t is hardly to be expected that a
military camp would be located per-
manently near Harrisburg should it be
necessary to call together a large body
of men under arms for. the settlement
of the difficulties with Mexico. During
the Spanish American war training
camps were required and Camp Meade
was an admirable location for such. But
conditions differ now. Should the
Guard be called into the service of the
nation it would be assigned unoues-
tionably to border guarding and would
take up quarters in one of the camps
already established by the Regulars,
who would then be sent into Mexico
while the militia was being seasoned
by patrol duty.

One cannot see why butter and eggs,
for instance. could not be shipped
regularly from producer to user. not
to mention berries and choice fruits

still in its very early infancy and it
is not right to saddle the word failure
upon it in any of its activities before
thorough trials shall have been made.
AT all events such tests ought not to
be taken too seriously when made by
a trades publication. the interests of
which are all one-sided.

POLITICAL SlDELICHTS

After that 1000 contribution to
his campaign fund Palmer would have
been ungrateful if he had not jumped
to the defense.
Guess the sending of free papers
won't be so much of a crime as a GER
tain morning newspaper used to con-
slider it.
OF course, the Post Office Depart
ment does not contain any Democratic
officials friendly to Mccormick.
Its a wonder, considering every
thing, that Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Blakslee did not write the letter.
AS life-preserver Palmer has
had some experience.
MIR. Ryan appears to be able to
draw blood once in while.
Arthur Young also went to the
rescue at the Central Democratic Club
last night.
The Palmer banner at South
Bethlehem was torn down last night.
While Palmer was touring with
Mccormick, Ware and the Republican
Congressman We're getting the League
Island appropriation put back.
The Mccormick caravan will go on
the trail of the Ryanites at Norristown
tonight.
The Central Democratic Club will
listen to Congressman Rupley when he
is ready to speak. Wonder if Ryan
man could break in there.
Greasy tanned Bonniwell again at
York. It's up to the Judge now.
-Ryan's ears must have burned
while Palmer was making that speech
at York.
-Pinchot says Penrose is going to
be nominated easily. He ought to
know.
The machine is apparently more
important than League Island ship
ways
Now watch them go after Ryan.

THE ONE BRIGHT SPOT

~ LID Mother Nature is sometimes
a harsh parent. We, her chill
~ dren. have learned to expect
frosts and draughts quite as well
as smiling skies and gentle rains Just
now. however, she seems in much
gentler mood than usual and much
kinder in spirit and consideration for
our material we'll being than those
Democratic statesmen who are sent to
Washington as the friends of the
people," If our exports are to at all
approach our imports during the COM
ing year we shall have Old Mother
Nature to thank. She is at work on
the winter wheat fields of the West
and reports indicate crop larger
than we of the United States will be
able to consume.
According to experts, a condition of
95.s is little better even than on the
first of April and 10.4 points better
than the ten-year average. In other
words. the condition is IL per cent.
better than the average, and, accord
ing to the departments calculations.
indicates now yield of 17.S bushels
to the acre. If no trouble intervenes
before harvest. we are to have
630,0O0,000 bushels of winter wheat
Of course, many things can happen:
and even the rank growth. which now
looks so promising, may in the end
prove hurtful. But those things are
possibilities.
This more than makes up domestic
requirements. Our exportable surplus
can be roughly measured by the SIZE
of the Spring wheat crop. on which
there will be no report for another
month. But 20,000.OOO acres is the
usual area. The yield is more uncer-
tain than In the winter wheat belt. In
the past ten years it has averaged
1886 bushels to the acre. In 1911.
owing to drought, it was only e.4
bushels, followed the next year by n
yield of 17.2 bushels. But thus far all
reports from the Spring wheat section
show a favorable condition, and It is
no stretch Of optimism to hope for a
yield larger than the ten-year average
Added to this are reports of short
crops in India and Argentina. The
crop at home should add greatly to
our International credit and prove a
substantial prop to toppling business.

PARCEL POST PRACTICE

"HE Louisville Courier journal
comments at some length on the
= experiments of the Interstate
Grocer" with the parcel post as
an agent between the farmer and the
consumer in the city. The Courier
Journal reports that the Grocer found
Its efforts fruitless, and that the theory
of marketing by parcel post, which
sounded so well on paper when the
system was first put into operation by
the government, does not work out in
practice.
According to the Courier Journal,
the postmaster at st. Louis recently
Issued a long list of farmers in Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Illinois and Okla
homa, all of whom desired to sell pro-
duce by the parcel post method. The
editor of the Interstate Grocer sent
letters to all these farmers, making in
quiry as to prices. Thirty-five of these
nestioned quoted egg prices ranging
from Is to SO cents a dozen, or an
average OF q cents. This with the
cost of postage. brokerage, etc, would
bring the price to about 80 cents. Most
Of the farmers wanted to sell in three
hozen lots. Retail grocers in ST. Louis
will sell the highest quality of eggs In
single-doZen lots at 25 cents, while
The regular run of eggs can be had
from any grocer at 20 to 22A cents
y doBen-
BY a similar process the Interstate
Grocer attempts to show that butter
and chickens can be bought cheaper
from the groceries than from the
farmers direct. Only twelve of the
farmers quoted prices on butter The
average price plus the cost of postage
and crates is 33 cents a pound. Print
butter, which demands the highest
price, can be bought in any grocery
Btore for 35 cents or less, or not over 2
cents more than nearby" while the
trade differential is IL cents. A Sec
ond list of inquiries sent to the same
farmers, five days after the first,
showed that since the list was pub
lished by the Post Office Department
the farmers must have been getting
considerable mail, and because of the
Interest manifested by the city people
for products direct from the farm
the farmers were not slow in appre-
ciating the demand and raising their
prices accordingly.
At the very outset it must be taken
into consideration that the Grocer
undertook to prove the parcel post
method of marketing a failure 1t is
the organ of the grocers of the coun-
try and quite naturally is interested in
convincing the public that the way
to buy is through the grocery store.
We shall have to be convinced by a
more unbiased authority than the In
terstate grocer that the parcel post
method of buying cannot be practiced
with profit to both tine farmer and the
consumer
careful analysis of the Grocer's
figures indicates two things-that the
public needs education in this kind of
buying and that the farmers should
not expect to receive on the farms as
much for their products as the .buyer
In town pays after the profits of the
middle man and the grocer have been
added. The farmer, ought to be con-
tent with slightly better price for his
goods by parcel post than he would
ordinarily get from commission

Get the scrub brush and water right
