WILSON MAKES
STATEMENT ON
STRIKE CRISIS
Issues 1t After Conference
With Railroad Chiefs; Hold
Firm For Arbitration
NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE
Concession of Eight-Hour and
Appointment of an Impartial
Body Urged
By .4ssoeidted Press


Washington, Aug. 10. - The crisis
over the threatened railway strike con-
tinues and there are many indications
that 1t may not be passed for several
days.
After an hours conference with
President Wilson to-day the 33 rail-
road presidents left the White House
without giving any indication that
they had abandoned their stand for
arbitration, but with assurances that
the negotiations were not ended.
The railroad executives gave no
final answer to the Presidents pro-
posals but will deliberate on them to-
day and see President Wilson again
probably Monday.
The employees committee of $40
having voted to accept President Will
sons plan and thereby put the thing
up to the railroads" had another
meeting to-day to talk things over.
Both Want Public Support
Out OF. the maneuvering of both
sides for a position which will enjoy
the support of public opinion come
many evidences that each is working
to organize public sentiment in its
favor and make it manifest in a posi-
tive way.
1t was understood to-day that the
railroads are turning to other large
employers of labor throughout the
country to express their support as
settlement of industrial disputes while
President Wilson and the employees
are drawing support from large manu-
featuring and other interests vitally
interested in keeping the railroads
open for business and from those who
want to see the movement for the
eight-hour day carried a long step for
ward.
The evidences point to moves by
each side to "back1re" the other. The

High Cost Of Paper
Hits the Baker, Too

Bakers in the city are confronted
with the same situation as newspapers
pa paper famine--with big increases
in the price of paper used to wrap the
five and ten-cent loaves.
Several of the big bakery heads have
already reported a jump in the cost of
sanitary paper used in wrapping bread,
and this with the expected increase in
flour prices, and the present high fg-
ures for sugar and lard all used in
baking bread, help in cutting down the
profit to a minimum.
The paper shortage is causing num-
Der of the bakers to urge housewives
to adopt the ten-cent loaf as il costs
only fraction more to wrap the large
size than it does the five-cent loaf.

PRICES SOARING.
PENNA. FARMERS
ARE MADE HAPPY
Splendid Wheat, Rye and Oats
Crops Here; Decrease
Elsewhere
MEANS BIG PROFITS
26,5OO,O00 Bushels Wheat; A.
100000 of Rye, and $685.
600 Oats in the State

Pennsylvania farmers are complet-
ing the harvest OF splendid wheat. rye
and oats crops, which promise to bring
prices which will make the present
season one of the most prosperous in
years.
With the big declines indicated in
these three crops in the United States,
the Pennsylvania farmer has been
fortunate in having a successful sea-
son that will bring almost a normal
yield of the cereals.
Estimates made by the Bureau of
statistics of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture show that the
wheat crop will be about 26,500, 900
bushels as compared with 24,92S, 900
| bushels last year; the rye crop about
4,663,566 bushels as compared with
4,672,0 600 bushels last year and an oats
crop of 36,526,000 bushels as against
3,O95,000 bushels last year.
The crop of oats last year was one
of the greatest that the State has ever
produced and over ten million bushels
more than in 1914. The present fig
ures, despite a 40 reduction in acre
age shows that the crop is far above
the average and may closely approxi-
mate last years banner production.
Early in August the reports of the
crop correspondents of the Depart
ment of Agriculture indicated that
WV SONi'iOii VI WHSdI SOilpdled With
an average was 100 per cent. Practi-
cally no damage was done by the Hes
sian fly, but some damage resulted
from the heavy rains at harvest time
causing sprouting. In some sections
the heads did not fill we'll on account
of black INFLOW while in others high
average yields to an acre are reported.
There was a decrease in the condi-
ton of rye of two per cent. since July
| /, but the average was SO per cent
and as the acreage harvested was two
per cent smaller than last year the
production of 4,633,566 bushels is
above estimated normal.

CLEANLINESS OF THE CHURN
Rinsing Out With Warm Water Will Remove Any Particles of Butter
 milk Remaining in Wood.

After the butter is taken from the churn. the latter should be rinsed out with warm water, and the rinsing fol- lowed by a thorough washing with very hot water. The rinsing out with warm water will remove any butter milk which may remain in the pores of the wood. The hot water will remove any fat which may be left in the churn.
 It is never we'll to use soap powders on the interior of the churn, but the occasional use of a small amount of dairy washing powder or lime water fs beneficial To keep the churn sweet and free from odors and taints a small handful of lime placed in some water in the churn or in the last rinsing of the churp is very effective. It is very essential in good butter making to see that all apparatus used is absolutely clean and free from undesirable odorg and taints, as these are quickly ab- sorbed by the butter.

British Income Tax

0eventy-four years ago an act of parliament was passed which is still very vigorous and doing its bit' in the war, the London Chronicle states It was the famous income tax act of 1S42, brought in by Peel to make up the loss of revenue caused by his re- form of the tariff, and most of it's pro- visions have been reimposed each year ever since. It was intended to be only temporary measure, but both Peel and Lord Russell renewed it, and Gladstone passed a continuing act in 1853. which extended the income tax to Ireland, it having applied previous ly to Great Britain only.
 Our income tax is, however. older than Peel, for it was first imposed In 1799 to raise funds for the carrv- ing on of the war with France. and continued year by year until 1916. the year after Waterloo. For the next quarter of a century (happy days) there was no income tax, but since 1S42 it's yield has steadily grown, and It now forms permanent part of the fiscal system. In 1799 at 2s in the pound sterling it produced G6,O00, ,OOO: in 1914 at Is Sd it produced e69.. 50O,0O0. The highest rate between lS42 and 1914 was Is Sd, in 1902 (for the Boer war;; the lowest rate, 2d. was reached in 1874.

Perfect Ventilation Scarce,

Absolute dryness and perfect venti- lation, the two conditions necessary for the prevention of rot and decay in building timbers, are seldom, if ever, obtained. To ventilate the floor and wall construction of house prop erly would render it a veritable fire trap, through which fire, once started, would sweep from top to bottom and end to end.
 Therefore the only practical solution of the problem is to adequately protect and ventilate those timbers that come in contact with masonry or are ex- posed to ground moisture. All tim bers in contact with masonry should be heavily coated with asphalt or tar.
 The seepage of air through the cracks and joints of the framing will usually be sufficient to ventilate the inclosed timbers of walls and floors.

CONSIDERATION DUE
 TO THE DAIRY cow
She Must Have MiIk-Producinq Feed and Bodily Comfort
 Make a Pet of Her.
(By H. NJ. COTTRELLl

The man to make the most profits from dairy herd must be a gentle mankind, considerate, progressive, intelligent. Milk is the product of motherhood. The COW is a mother and gives milk to develop the life of her baby, the calf The dairy COW. to be made most productive, must have the care and consideration due to every animal mother She must nave milk-producing feed and feed that will develop fully her unborn calf while she is milking. She must have bodily comfort-shelter, water, salt
 shade in hot weather, and pure air all the time. She must be petted. When man takes her calf away from the COW and milks her, he becomes for the lime to her a secondhand calf. The COW loves her calf and is happy when she IS giving milk to it. The more the dairyman can pet his COWS, make them like him as they do their calves. the more milk they will give and the richer will be the milk. This sounds ike 'gush " but is cold business truth that closely followed will bring profits.

the magnitude of the loss. The eradi- cation of weeds already established on the farm is much discussed question at present, but little is said about pre- venting weeds from getting on the farm.
 There are many natural agencies, such as wind, water, animals. etc. which cause the spread of weeds. There is still another manner in which weeds are brought on the farm; that is, by sowing seed which has mixed with it many weed seeds. large percentage of the weeds is put on the farm by actually planting weed seeds with farm or garden crops.
 In most cases farmer sows weed seeds because he is not familiar with these weed seeds. Every farmer should be just as familiar with the bad weed seeds as he is with seeds of wheat, clover and timothy.
