GERMAN.owNED NEWSPAPERS
Not Confined to New York City, Says
Attorney General Becker.

New York, July l7.--Use of German
propaganda funds to obtain whole or
partial control Of American newspapers
has not been confined to New York City,
according to a statement yesterday BY
Deputy Attorney General Becker Of New
York.
Becker declared Information in his pos.
session and in that of the federal alien
property custodian indicated Teuton
millions were spent in districts far from
the metropolis To influence news and edi-
torial policies in favor Of the German
cause. An extensive investigation now
in progress, he asserted, may be expected
to reveal other centers of German intlu.
ence and the methods followed IN putting
its propaganda into effect.
In connection with Mr. Beckers state.
ment, it was learned authoritatively
yesterday that another American news
paper passed into German control before
the United States entered the war, in a
manner similar to that alleged to have
been followed in the case Of the Mail.
This newspaper is located in the far
west, and action against its ostensible
owners is predicted as an early develop.

Iron and Phosphates

Experienced doctors claim that every.
one should take a good tonic in the

months we all eat TOO much meat, fats,
heavy foods and too little fresh vegeta.
bles, that the entire system is clogged
up, overloaded and overworked, causing
thin, impure, watery blood, and that
tired, nervous feeling, pimples and bad
complexion
Honest doctors all over the land have
found and are recommending and pre-
scribing phosphates and iron as their
spring tonic for the blood and nerves.
They say it removes all impurities, UNI
clogs the channels and sends the rich,
red, ife.giving blood through the veins,
renewing health, strength and nerve
force as nothing else will.
If you are all in, run down, tagged

DARLING MAKES HIS
ANNOUNCEMENT
Is Candidate for Governor, But Has No
Ambition to Hold Any Fur
Their Office.

Burlington, July l7.--Hon. Charles H.
Darling announces his candidacy for gov
ernor in the following statement;
II am a candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor.
while have held some offices of
trust and responsibility, | have received
them by appointment and have never
been a candidate for an elective office
outside of my own town and it is my
desire to round out my public career
as governor Of Vermont.
Il have no intention, expectation or
ambition to hold any other or further
Office
ITO win the war is the all absorbing
subject and the coming legislature can
well apply itself to this consideration
and pass such laws as pertain to war
activities and kindred subjects and make
as short a session as possible.
I'VE must work with and in support
of the federal government. We must
put nation above party. We must work
or we must fight. There must be no
lukewarmness, either with respect to our
cause or that Of our allies We must
win the war Not only must we pro-
vide for the boys at the front, but we
must provide for the disabled and their
dependents. To accomplish these things
we must economic on others. We must
be sane and we must be progressive.
without hesitation favor the rati-
fieation of the proposed constitutional
amsndent providing for nation wide pro-
hibition, The high standard heretofore
maintained by Vermont among other
states must now be maintained
During the war our taxes have not
declined but our highways have. The
interruption in railroad service, the with.
drawai Of trains and the increase Of
freight and passenger rates have COM
PEELED corresponding increase in auto
mobile and motor truck service and our
highways must be improved to meet the
new conditions.
"The increase in the cost Of produc-
ton, the high cost Of living, the short
age of farm and all other labor make
new laws necessary and require the
greatest care to preserve just equality
between producer, laborer and consumer.

FURTHER DEVOTED TO WAR.
University of Pennsylvania to Have An
other War Course.

Philadelphia, July l7.-Supplementing
its war activities which thus far exceed
those of any other institution of learning
in Pennsylvania, the University of Penn
sylvania has established an Officers
material school, wherein enlisted men
in the navy and college students, who
desire to enter the navy, have an oppor-
tunity to win commissions.
The school win be under the super
vision of the navy department and the
course will cover a period of six weeks.
The candidates are being housed in the
college dormitories, which have been CON
verted into temporary marine barracks.
PENIS contribution to the war in the
way of man power totals 6,l02. OF these
men all but 625 are arrayed under the
eolors of Uncle Sam. The others are
serving the allies of the United States.
Since the United States entered the
war, the campus and the many magnif.
cent buildings of the university have
been at the call Of the government for
use as it saw fit in the training Of men
for military service. The university has
conducted schools, under government d.
rection, for the training Of army medical
officers, navigation, army ordnance, sig
nal service, course for nurses, as well as
preparing men in other useful lines for
the army and navy.
Most members Of the aviation examin-
ing boards throughout the country were
trained at the parent unit, organized at
the University of Pennsylvania.
Three ambulance units, base hos
pital, several Red Cross units and va.
rious detached units have been organized
here. For the special use Of the army
and navy, the university hospital has
set aside 250 beds, and many of the lab
oratories have been placed at the dispos-
al of government experts.

Little Items on the side.

One of the oldest trees known was the
great elm, called THE Treaty Tree, .
which stood for 2s3 years, at the inter
section of Hanover and Beach streets
Kensington, Pa, and under which Will
liam Penn made his famous treaty with
the Indians. In 1910 it was blown down
and from its wood many work-stands,
chairs, vases and other souvenirs have
been made.
We learned recently that our American
soldiers abroad do not like TO be called
"Sammies," the nickname given them by
the French soldiers, but much prefer to
be called "Buddies" or "Yanks." We have
a guilty feeling that we have called them
"Sammies" on several occasions, and we
herewith humbly apologize, and promise
that we won't do so again.
1t seems strange to us to think of a
mans being logged for kissing his wife /;
but during the early days of Puritanism,
in Massachusetts,, sea-captain, just re-
turned from long voyage, was given a
public hogging for kissing his wife in the

the statute law declaring legal such a
punishment for this open demonstration
Of affection

Do You Sell Yourself to others7

In an editorial note, the editor of The
American Magazine says in the August
issue:
"Some people fail utterly when it
comes to selling themselves to others.
They arouse antagonism They are con
stantly in hot water. They don't make
friends. Their associates dislike them
and do all they can to block them.
"Yet selling yourself to other people is
the most important sale you can make

sions II the war ends by next March, ac-
cording to an estimate made by A. Bonar
Law, chancellor of the exchequer. Sir
Alfred w. Watson, a government ac-

nual pension charges win have fallen to
$500, 100000 and that each succeeding
decade will show a reduction Of $4,000,
900 but that these pensions will not have
entirely disappeared by 1870
Fifteen thousand cases of war disabled
soldiers are reported each week to the
minister of pensions. The total number
OF disabled British men on the list is
now placed at 34l ,025, of which 2s per
cent were cases of injury to the eyes or
loss of sight resulting from wounds.
Small industrial and memorial villages
for disabled soldiers and sailors are being
established in different parts of Great
Britain. At one of these near Moreton,
Dorset, ten acres have been laid out as
market garden and houses are to be
erected for the wounded men.

SUDDENLY REVISED HIS CODE
Exponent Of Masculine Street-car
Courtesy Felt Himself Justified
Making Exception.

The stout man on the Wade Park
car turned to his companion.
'Pve formulated new code of mas
culine courtesy" he said, "and pledged
myself to observe it. When i am for
tunate enough to get seat in a car
hang onto it-with three exceptions.
I'll give 1t up to an elderly woman, to
a woman carrying a child and to
sick person. l draw the line at these
exceptions. It's my street car courtesy
code, revised to date, and In line with
prevailing conditions"
He stopped suddenly and stared at
plainly dressed woman who stood
close by. Then he quickly arose and
gave her his seat.
When the two fhen left the car the
other man said to his friend. "How
did you happen to give your seat to
that woman?"
i've enlarged my CODE"
"Your infexible code. Yes, but

"That woman has q husband, son,
or brother in the army. But probably

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
For spraying few plants or very
small trees hand atomizers may be
used. These are made of brass, cop
per, heavy tin, or other material, and
usually have capacity of one quart.
Bucket Pumps.
Bucket pumps are fairly convenient
and satisfactory for spraying small
gardens and shrubs or small trees.
They should be of brass or other non
corrosive metal and preferably should
be equipped with an agitator. In some
pumps agitation Is provided by means
Of small Jet of the liquid which
squirts from the bottom of the pump
into the liquid as the pump is oper-
ated. For convenience in spraying,
these pumps may be clamped to the
bucket, or used free in tub or other
vessel containing the spray material.
They should be supplied with spray
rod, and sufficient hose to spray con-
veniently the plants to be treated.
knapsack Pumps. .
A knapsack pump may be used for
small spraying operations. These
pumps have a capacity of about four
gallons and are provided with an air
chamber to insure pressure and a
steady spray. They are carried on the
back Of the operator and pumped by
one hand, while the other Is used to
hold the spray rod.
Small compressed-Air Pumps.
Compressed air pumps are frequent
preferred to the bucket or knapsack
pumps by those who do not wish to
pump while applying the spray. These
pumps are usually made of brass or
galvanized sheet steel and have a ca
pacity Of three to four gallons. They
are carried by means of shoulder
strap. In the better types, agitation
Is provided, usually by the entrance
of the air at the bottom of the tank.
Barrel Pumps.
The barrel hand-pump outfit has
capacity of about 80 gallons, and has
come into extensive use for the home
orchard or fruit garden. With good
DuIEei pump COlSiucEdDlt SpTuyll6 may
be done In satisfactory manner. The
working parts Of the pump should be
Of bronze, brass, or other noncorrosive
material, and the valves and plung-
ers should be readily accessible, and
easily repaired. The pump should be
provided with an efficient agitator,
either Of the paddle or rotary type. To
insure a good pressure and uniform
discharge of the spray material the
pump should be provided with an ade-
quate air chamber, to which press
ure gauge may be attached If desired.
The pump may be mounted either on
the head or side of the barrel, and the
whole outfit placed on skids or on
wagon. On hilly land 1t is preferable
to have the barrel In horizontal po-
sition.
The double-action hand pumps usu-
