CAPITOL HILL
Protecting FARMERS
FROM FAKE Fertilizers
State Agricultural Department Safe
guards Buyers From the Swindle Of
Low-Grade and Adulterated Ma
terial-Results in Fertilizer Bulletin

The Secretary of Agriculture of Penn
sylvania announces the issue of the Fer
tilizer Bulletin giving the results of
the spring trade fertilizers collected by
the official sampling agents this year.
He notes that this bulletin presents a
new feature highly important to all fer
tilizer buyers, namely, an indication of
the kind of nitrogenous material used
in the manufacture of the various
nitrogenous fertilizers. This feature
has been introduced at the earnest re-
quest of the State Board of Agriculture,
with the purpose of securing for the
buyers more fully the advantages sought
in the recent amendment of the State
fertilizer law. The analyses presented
in earlier years afforded good idea not
only of the quantity, but also of the
availability of the phosphoric acid and
potash in the fertilizers. The quantity
only of the nitrogen was determined.
This element is four to five times as
expensive as the other constituents,
and much more variable as to source
and availability. 1T is believed that this
new feature will do much to safeguard
fertilizer buyers against the use, with
exorbitant charges therefor, of such
relatively low-grade materials as peat,
garoage-tankage, hair and leather.

Manager Who Sold Collins to White

Team Contender

Following the announcement yester-
day that he had sold Collins, king of

following statement: %, .
II have sold Eddie Collins to the
Chicago club for a substantial cash con-
sideration. have my own personal
reasons for letting him go, which Il do
not care to make public. Suffice it for
me to say Chicago has acquired one of
tho greatest ball players in the national
game to-day, not even excepting Ty
Cobb, because Collins plays more diff
cult position. He will rejuvenate the
Chicago team. You can look for
Comiskey's S team to be pennant con-
tender in 1915, and they may win the
flag at that.
Collins was born at Millertown, N.
Y, May 2, 1887. He entered Colum-

shortstop. He wore the Sky Blue and
White up to 1906, being elected cap

1906 he played on the Plattsburgh, n.

Clubs. At the opening of the college
season of 1907 he was declared ineligi-
Bile. He then played ball on indepen;i-
ent teams up in New England. While

cured his signature to contract, Aft
er trials in both infield and outfieid dur
ing 1907 and 1908, he, in the spring
of 1910, found his right position at
second base. Collins is of the type of
the quick-thinking, brainy player, con
stantly outguessing the opposition,
whether he is at bat or in the field. His
wonderful hitting, grand fielding and
sensational base running were a big
factor in the Athletics winning the
worlds championships of 1910 and
1911.
He had large part in bringing the
American League championship to Phil

ting, speed on the paths and steady
teamwork with his side partner,

At the orpheum

An unusual dancing performance
that has caused audiences of the world
to yield completely to its attractiveness
is the offering of Mana, the Partisan
danseuse, who is assisted in her dances
by Mons. Alexis, in serving up the
cleverest dancing attraction seen at
the Orpheum this season. Mana is a
1.-the, shapely little miss, possessing a
pleasing personality and her pretty face
is crowned by an abundance of blonde
tresses. Her appearance is fetching, but
it is the wild whirls, the tornado-like
rapidity and dazzling agility of the
dance, that is the real merit of her
performance. Mana and her partner
dance with mathematical precision, and
Mana, in her reckless abandon, ex-
hibits strength that can scarcely be
credited to so small and supple a body.
Pekin Mysteries, the week s splen-
did headliner, is without doubt won
derful attraction. Mysticism of the high
est order is its keynote, with just
