Hammonton, n. J., July 25.-Miss
Grace R. Osgood,, daughter of Free
holder Cyrus F. Osgood, and recently
appointed chairman of Hammonton
unit of the Women's Council of the
National Committee of Defense. has
written a protest against women Of
fering to kiss recruits, urging that
such action initiates against the up
holding of the respect of woman
hood, one of the chief characteristics
of civilized nation.
ION the surface" she writes. "it
looks too silly to take seriously, so
every one laughs. But for all that
the suggestion is bad. American
girls are brought up to think that
promiscuous kissing is indecent. But
now, just because some of them are
soldiers. 1t suddenly becomes proper
whatever a soldier does is right"

TREE LICENSES
NOW PROVIDED
States New System Will Pre-
vent Frauds Upon Farm
ers in Opinion of Hill

The new nursery inspection law
recently signed by the Governor will
enable the Department of Agricul-
ture, through the economic zoologist,
to cooperate with the fruit growers
in eliminating undesirable nursery
stock from the state of Pennsylvania.
Under this law all persons, including
nursery dealers or agents, soliciting
for the sale of nursery stock in the
state must secure and carry with
them an official license issued at the
CAPITOL Penalties for noncompli-
ance with this regulation are pro-
vided and wilful misrepresentation of
nursery stock offered for sale is a
n.isdemeanor.
The Agricultural Department bull
letin says of 1t:
MANY of the irresponsible nurs-
cry agents who have worked in
Pennsylvania during the past years
must now secure a license or go out
of business. Many fraudulent sales
of nursery stock by various schemes
have been promoted in the past.
Citizens of the state should avail
themselves of this law and report
any suspicious actions on the part of
nursery agents to the economic
Zoologist, Harrisburg"
The bulletin also says
"In past years many materials for
the spraying of trees and the control
OF insects and fungus diseases have
been placed on the market, either so
diluted or mixed with useless ma
terials that their value has been
questionable.
plaster of paris has been mixed
with paris green to a considera BILE
extent, and other mixtures accord
ingly. In many cases exceptional
and impossible claims have been
made by manufacturers of pro-
prietary spray materials. Much
money and time has been lost to
fruit growers and farmers through
these fraudulent practices.
Under the new insecticide and
fungicide law, recently signed by the
Governor, the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture. through the
economic zoologist. will inspect these
materials placed on the market for
sale. This law requires certain
standards of purity in paris green,
srsenate of lead, lime-sulfur and
other similar materials. Excessive
or fraudulent claims as to the value
of these materials will also be cur
tailed and labels must be printed in

Philadelphia, July 25. - Johnny
Kilbane has placed himself on record
that tonight he will do his level best
to knock Benny Leonard out when
they meet in the ring at Shibe Park.
For two or three days there have
been rumors claimed to have been
circulated by rival promoters to the
effect that the Leonard-Kilbane
match was to be merely a dress re-
hearsal sort of affair staged with the
idea of having the boxers get some
soft money in this city and to ad-
vertise a longer bout in New York
or Cleveland. These rumors reached
City Hall yesterday afternoon and
were brought to the attention of Su-
perintendent of Police Robinson, VINO
announced at once that as far as the
Police Department was concerned

Philadelphia would be protected

Jimmy Dougherty. of Leipervillc
promoter of the fight, said:
Stop Fight

OL the ISnI,
Stop Fight
II would be the first to stop the
bout If thought the boys were STALL
ing. But l am certain you couldn't
get Kilbane to do such a trick, and !
am almost as sure Leonard would not
stoop to it, either.
But If they should try to put one
over, they will be pitched out of the
ring and the publics money will be
returned at once. l pledge myself to
see to that"
When Benny Leonard was inform
ed in New York of the rumors re-
garding the bout here going to be a
fake, he authorized the following
statement:
II know that Kilbane is the kind
of boxer who likes to stand off; he
does not like to try boring in tactics
l intend to carry the fight to him
from the first bell. I will try to out
point, Outright and finish him If pos
sible before the scheduled six rounds
pass. l cannot understand where OF
how report originated. There will
be no need of police interference or
the fake proposition"

MEXICAN RiNCHERS'
 STRLit. IS SERIDtS S

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 2S.-- The Mexican ranch hands strike is .sc :ous throughout Los Angeles County, federal authorities estimating 14,O0O cut since war was declared. The main danger if the strike lasts another week is the crops. The beet crop is half lost already.
 Federal District Attorney Albert Schoonover and Special Agent Eli Branford of the Department of Jus tice, have evidenced that the strike was fomented by agitators who re- gently crossed the line from Mexico.
 Governme 1t operatives claim con elusive evidence of plot to make the crops a failure and to throw destitute laborers on the community. The strik- CTS were lured from work by tales of forming an army for the conquest of the region. There is no specific indi- cation of German inspiration. but much talk of German activity in Mex |ico. United States authorities have ta- ken the matter out of the hands of the local officials. The trouble is serious in Lordsburg, Chino, Claremont and Santa Ana.
