ceived the biggest advertising cam
paign ever known Europe will want
! 10000. 900 of our new wheat July to
Oct. 81.
This drain will care for the first
marketing rush. The early European
wheat news. outside the Russian
spring wheat crop indicates q reduced
total yield as compared with 1913. To
a liberal extent Europe now moulds
our wheat price. Their stocks are
hurrying to exhaustion and their
wheat prices are at above bearish
difference, over those of the United
States.
Our winter wheat reports of yester-
day were mainly high but few new
spots in the central west show up
with complaints of freeze, fly, etc.
Kentucky reports much rank growth.
Number of our oats reports is also
large. Oats start is irregular and the
condition is probably IS to 80.
Fast progress is being made to-
wards corn planting. Corn and oats
continue in firm position. Theories
of heavy Argentine arrivals in June
can ndrQly weaken CaSn corn seriously
for another two weeks or more.
Provisions are in a sound position
on the reduced hog receipts. This firm
ness may be temporary but the only
weak spot consists of the big sup
plies at Chicago. The security market
awaits buying revival. The big con-
sumers are still practicing economy.
Oats when seeded must grow In
stantly. Otherwise, they rot. They
require plenty of water. More than
favorable to good crop start. Septem-
Der oats, however, are already at
record crop level. They are a pur-
chase.
The wheat report equals expecta-
ton and on a par of IS bushels sug-
gests 60S.O00,O00 wheat. Condition of
$50 on a net acreage of 35,3S7, 900 con-
stitutes a record. The report is bear
ish but is Offset somewhat by low
European supplies and inception of
anxiety as to Canadian and other
world wheat yields.
The report shows that farm work is
normal Hay reserves at 100000
tons are % per cent below last year.
This has some bearing on corn and
oats. Wheat may observe the report
a little but should rally. Canadian !
crop will be late and these early May /,
rrosts suggest damage reports in last |
half OF May.

TURNPIKE CASE
FINALLY ARGUED
Mifflin County Company Says That
1t Uses Income to Keep
Up Its Highway

The first complaint affecting turn
pike charges was heard yesterday by
the Public Service Commission, when
S. II. Zook and other residents of Milf
fin county, appeared in opposition to
the condition of the West Kishaco-
uuillas turnpike. There was consid-
erabIe testimony to the effect that the
road is out of order, that 1t Is incon-
venient and dangerous for it's patrons
to travel upon, and that the tolls de-
manded are unjust and unreasonable
for the service afforded. The COM
pany claimed that nearly all its re-
ceipts are used for the betterment OF
the road.
The matter of the complaint as to
the excessive rates charged by the
Beaver Valley Water Company, which
was begun before the commission
some time ago, was resumed to-day
Speaker Alter, who represents the
company, presented an inventory OF
the latter's equipment, and it was
finally arranged that engineers should
go over the plant to determine its
valuation before additional testimony
shall have been taken.
The petition of the commissioners
of Lawrence county for the abolition
of a grade crossing over the tracks
of various railroads at Gardner ave-
nue. in the city of Newcastle, was
also heard, but the taking of testi-
mony was interrupted by the adoption
of proposition that all parties in
terested confer and agree on plans for
the overheard bridge, together with
the approximate cost of the structure
and the manner in which 1t should be
apportioned When this is done the
matter will be submitted to the COM
mission.

mendous, and adding the terrible
losses suffered by the Austrians in
Galicia, some idea may be gained of
the extraordinary sacrifices of men
during these first few weeks of the
modern worlds greatest war.
Even preliminary talk of peace
seems to be resented by the British
public. While the pact recently signed
by the allies insures concerted action
when IL comes, in the direction of
peace on their part, the dispatches
from Washington relative to the atti-
tude of peace of DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg. the German chancellor, as
conveyed through the American am
bassador at Berlin, together with dis
patches from Rome saying that
Austria-Hungary desires peace, have
aroused considerable discussion here
and editorial articles already have
appeared saying that peace on any
terms is out of the question until what
is styled "the menace of German mill
tarism" is crushed.

STATE REVENUES
ARE SLOWING UP
Auditor Generals Department Ex-
plains the Slump Due to
the Personal Tax
A statement issued at the Auditor

A statement issued at the Auditor
Generals Department to-day says:
Comparison of this years receipts
at the State Treasury with those of
former years are misleading unless
it be remembered that the last Leg
islature passed an act depriving the
State of its former revenue from the
tax on personal property. Previous
to January 1, 1914, the whole amount
of this tax collected in each county
was remitted to the State Treasurer,
who later returned three-fourths of
it to the county treasurer. The
amount of this tax paid. to the State
Treasurer last year was S5,3l2, 1871. !.
This year the receipts from personal
property tax are only $1O2.17, repre-
senting odds-and-ends balances paid
N this year on 1913 account.
Receipts to September 10. last
year, were $21,172,6 2,6S5.67, this total
including personal property tax
amounting to $3,46S,9 ,924.03; so that
receipts at the close of the treasury
on September IA, 1913, exclusive OF
personal property tax, were S17,7O3,-
761.64.
Receipts to September Is, this
year. were 1S,609,092.60; or, eXclu-
sive of the receipts of S102.17 from
personal property tax balances, were
$1S,6O2, ,990.43.
"On the same basis. then, this years
receipts to September Is exceeded
those of the same period of last year
by sS99,22S.79.
Because of the act of June H.,
1913, there also will be a decrease in
the disbursements this year; for the
State Treasurer last year returned
.S3,975,570.70 in person property tax
to county treasurers, and this sum Is
included in the total disbursements Of
$37, 1851
"In 1913 the States net revenue
from personal property tax was ST.
33s sos .01-this being the difference
between the amount received by the
State Treasurer and the total amount
remitted by him to the county treas
urers."

SIMPLE APPLICATION
THAT DISSOLVES
BLACKHEADS

No more squeezing and pinching to
blackheads. There is one simple. safe
and sure way to get them out and
that is to dissolve them. To do this
lust get about two ounces of powder
ed neroXin from your druggist
sprinkle a little on hot, wet sponge
rub briskly over the blackheads for
a few seconds-wash the parts and
every blackhead will be gone.
Pinching and squeezing out black
heads make large pores and you cam
not get all of the blackheads out this
way-while this simple application of
powdered neroxm and water dissolves
every particle of them and leaves the
skin and pores in their natural con-
dition. Any druggist will sell you the
powdered neroxin and about two ounces
will be all you will ever need.

London Estimates Losses
of Germans at $4,000
By Associated Press

London, Sept. IS, l p. M.-The
efforts of the allies to-day were di-
vided into three supreme struggles:
First, to dislodge the Germans from
the heights of the Aisne; second, to
break through the fourth and fifth
German armies at the center; third,
to outflank the German right under
General Won Kluck. The position of
the fourth and fifth German armies
is considered not so strong as the re-
mainder of the line, while if the flank
ing movement is successful the rail-
road lines on which the Germans de-
pend would be cut.
The German losses are estimated
here at 5000 daily for the last fort
night. This totals more than A, 900
since September 4. AS the losses of
the allies are known to have been tre-

When the war scare became dan

to have a press bureau to pass out
information to the newspapers and
keep them from publishing anything
that was not authorized the Liberal
Government picked out f. E. Smith,
one of the important Unionist or op-
position leaders TO rthe place.
Mr.. Smith is one of the best known
barristers of England. He has been
in parliament since 1906, His work
has not met with approval by the
newspapers. He has suppressed in
formation which they wanted and
which they believed would have
caused no harm. One of the feats of
his employees was to hold out the
cabled report of a tennis match in
the United States, because II looked
like cipher dispatch to the censor
who had never played tennis. The
prediction is being made every DAY
that the censorship won't last much
