Will Said To Be Valid

President Judge Dallett, of Orphans
Court, Philadelphia, decided Friday of
last week that the will of Francis Way
Smith is valid. Among the bequests
contained in it is one of 100000 to
Samuel M. w. Briggs, manager of the
Colonnade Hotel. Briggs is also to
receive $500 a year for the upkeep
of an automobile Smith gave to him.
Ross R. Smith, Zion, this county, a
relatives of the testator, appealed
from the decree of the register of
wills admitting the will to probate.
He charged that Briggs and Attorney
John F. Reardon, the executor of the
estate, used undue influence on Smith
in the making of the testament. He
also tried to show by score of wit
nesses that Smith was possessed of a
weak, eliminate character.
Concerning that, Judge Dallett says
There is no evidence in the opin-
ion of the court, which establishes
such weakened condition Of mind as
would affect the testamentary capac-
ity of this testator. He was peculiar,
but apparently he always had been;
and he was tactful enough to conceal
his misdoings from certain of his
associates"

Warns Potato Growers

In announcing that unusually large
stocks of potatoes We're held on Janu-
ary l in the large potato producing
States, the Department of Agriculture
warns Southern growers, who usually
sell their spring crops in competition
with the stocks carried over in the
Northern States, to take notice of the
situation.
prices are unusually low and
therefore, may not decline further" "
the departments statement said, "but
material advances in the next few
months cannot be forecasted from
present supplies. The United States
seldom imports or exports relatively
large quantity of potatoes. There
fore, the European war has no mater
ial direct bearing upon the potato MAJ
ket of the United States"
Of the marketable supply of pota-
toes of the 1914 crop 52.8 per cent.
remained in the hands of producers or
dealers on January 1. This is esti-
mated to be 166,846,OO0 bushels in
States which produced 7s per cent. of
the United States crop.

Stockyards Are Again Infected

Acting under the instructions of the
government, the state authorities have
closed the Union Stock Yards, Balti-
more. Notice was served on the Live
stock Sanitary Board Wednesday that
the stock yards were again being ex-
posed area to foot-and-mouth disease.
Orders have been issued to refuse
all interstate and intrastate shipments
of dairy stock, breeding stock and
feeders consigned to these yards until
further notice from the department at
Washington.
The cattle which have infested the
yards came from the yards at Lancas-
ter, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and
as Pennsylvania has been the source
of more trouble than any Eastern sec
ton, the authorities here are inclined
to bar all cattle from this state. The
other states in which the disease is
most prevalent are Iowa, Illinois and
Ohio.
All traces of the disease had been
obliterated at the local stock yards,
and it was hoped the trouble was at an
end. Great was the surprise of the
local officials when DR.. Sigmund, the
governments representative, served
notice.
Work was at once begun to disinfect
the stock yards. Meanwhile the cat
tie now in transit and which usually
arrive the last of the week will be
provided for elsewhere.
If all the states would exercise the
same precautions that are taken in
this state the disease would soon be
stamped out. Unfortunately, the gov
ernment has been lax in preventing
shipments of diseased cattleand as a
result this as well as other states in
which the disease has been pretty well
stamped out are made to suffer.
