JAMES MONAHAN of Darlington was
Friday night named as the fusion 10y
atty candidate to oppose John M. Mel
son for reelection to congress from the
Third congressional district. He will
run on the republican ticket, thus op-
posing Nelson in the primary. Victory
for Monahan came on the seventeenth
ballot, which brought the fight down to
one, between him and Arthur Carthew.
Arthur Scholtz of Oregon, Dane county,
was well up in the running until the
final ballot. The conference was com
posed of ten delegates from each as
sembly district in the congressional
district. Every candidate before the
convention pledged their united sup
port to the choice of the conference
The great enthusiasm of the gathering
of loyal delegates makes almost GER
tain the primary election of Mr. Mona
han who is every way fitted to make
an ideal congressman.

LANCASTER, PA, July II, 1918.
Contracts have already been made
for Lancaster county's growing tobac-
co crop, but it is for Havana Seed,
some Of which is already being topped.
So far as known, however, no contracts
have as yet been made for any of the
Broadleaf, though nobody would be
very much surprised now to hear of
buyers Setting busy on that tobacco,
too. A number of transactions with
Havana Seed growers took place dur
ing the week, the price paid being 35
cents through. Probably less than 1900
acres are out in Havana Seed this year
and most of it is on the farms along
the Susquehanna river where the sandy
soil appears to be particularly we'll
adapted for this type of tobacco.
1t is matter of surprise how we'll
the new crop has borne up under the
long dry spell. There was some wilt
ing, but taken as whole the crop has
pulled through wonderfully we'll. It
gives promise of being something un-
usually fine, so the wiseacres say, al
though it is rather early for making
such confident assertions. Much rain
is needed and more sunshine and many
more warm nights than we have had so
far to make it 100 per cent crop.
Fields with stalks nearly or quite 20
inches high are plentiful. It is most
fortunate that fine growing weather
prevailed Immediately after the crop
was planted, continuing long enough to
give the plants firm roofing and
good start forward. Comparative free
dom from insect pests was another adj
vantage.

THE president has declared against
high priced wheat, and by his veto of
the agricultural bill, carrying provis-
ion for a minimum price of $40 a
bushel, has carried his declaration into
effect. Had that increase been made
law the people would have had to pay a
total increase of 1887, 000, 900 for their
wheat alone, or nearly So year more
by every man. woman and child for
that one commodity, most of it being
simply unearned profit. Thus the veto
saves the people. In his veto he de-
clares that the farmer does not need to
be bought into loyalty. In this he
shows appreciation of the farmer. He
sees that this year the farmer has been
doing his best without this additional
stimulation. He also sees that it would
be rank injustice to impose further ex-
pense on the general consumer who is
now being taxed enough for everything
he has to buy.

THE largest single order for bacon
and canned meats in the history of the
world SO, $50, 900 pounds of bacon and
134, 000,000 pounds of canned meat
has just been placed by the Quarter
masters Department, U. S. A, for
the American army overseas. The or
der will take the bacon from approx
imately 100000 hogs, and if other
be equivalent to the total bacon pro-
duction of the five largest Chicago
packers for nearly five weeks; how
ever, six months will elapse before de-
livery is to be completed. At the cur
rent prices on the day when the pur-
chase was made, the packers would
pay the live stock producers about
$50, 900, 900 for the necessary hogs and
over $50, 900, 900 for about 900, 900 cat
tie required. The cattle will cost twice
as much and the hogs two and one-half
times as much as in the pre-war period.
The whole order will be made up be-
fore the first of the year, despite the
fact that even before this purchase
one-fourth of the packers facilities
have been devoted to filling military
demands. In order to get out the can
ned goods the packers will find it nee
essary to employ night and day shifts
of Gamers. Notwithstanding the fact
that the products are being rushed for
ward thus hurriedly, not single COM
plant has been received on meats de-
livered to the armies abroad. The five
packers are now killing about $4,000
hogs weekly to keep abreast of martial
and domestic needs.

LONG FAMOUS IN HIsTonx
vleissitudes Of Old City Of Jerusalem
May Be Said to Be Without
Parallel.

The capture of Jerusalem by Eng
lish troops recalls the tragic and fas-
cinating story Of that day, which car
ries us back through the mist of ages
to the days when the throne of David
was established within its walls. From
that date we pass to the glories of
the temple built by Solomon, which for
centuries was to stand as the center
and pivot of the Jewish nation and
faith. The time came, however, when
her days were nmbered, and the drama
of Calvary was followed few years
later by the onslaught of Titus, the
Roman emperor, who encompassed the
city round on every side and leveled
1t to the ground.
Round Its ruined walls Saracen and
Crusader were to fight continuously for
Its possession, and Christian knights
flocked from all lands to the rescue of
the holy places, until In 1899 Godfrey
de Bouillon defeated his enemies and
was chosen as the first Christian king
of Jerusalem.
Following this, for considerable
period the city remained in Christian
hands, until in 1917 it was captured by
the Turks.

FRENCH GO BACK TO CANDLES
Scarcity Of Materials Used for Light.
Ing Has Led to Revival Of
an Ancient Art.

While the war has wrecked some in
dustries In France, 1t has at the same
time created new ones and revived
older crafts. An excellent and inter-
esting example of the latter Is the art
Of candlestick making which has
taken on a new lease of life. Even in
some Of the big towns there are houses
which are not supplied with gas, where
before the war petroleum or spirit was
used for lighting purposes. Now that
the use Of these is restricted closely,
recourse has to be made to the old
fashioned candle.
This is true in the country especial
ly where candlesticks are in great de.
mand, and every one is buying them
according to his means or fancy. At
first they were made of copper, but
when that metal became scarce brass
was employed. Some of the modern
examples have several branches and
are very artistic.

Women as Aviators,

"Out of thousand women who
want to fly" says G. G. Gray, Lon
don aviation expert. "you might find
one who has the right kind of nerve
for flying. A great many women
learned to fly before the war, but
never came across more than one
who could really fly. She was very
exceptional woman altogether. In the
United States Ruth Law was the first
woman to fly from Chicago to New
York. She came of an acrObatic fam
lily. Katherine Stlnson, another Amer
lean girl, nearly completed the same
feat recently. But for one woman OF
this type you have thousands hysteri-
cally anxious to fly. and they would
only break their necks as well as gov
ernment property and be a general
nuisance"

LINKS ITALY AND AMERICA
Newly Installed Wireless TeIearaphy
Plant Is the Most Powerful That
Has Yet Been Built.

The announcement that Italy and
the United States have recently been
connected by wireless telegraphy de-
serves more notice than it has re-
ceived. This achievement probably
makes a back number of the great
wireless station at Nauen, near Ber-
lin, which has been so useful to Ger
many and which, when the war broke
out, claimed to be the most powerful
in the world, with an effective range
of between 5000 and 5000 miles. From
the nearest point in Italy to the
United States transatlantic station at
Arlington, near Washington, is not
less than 600 miles. and to send an
Ineligible message across that dis
tance might be more than even
Nauen could accomplish. Owing to
the hostility between the ether waves
sunshine, 1t is always easier to send
messages long distances In northerly
latitudes than in those more South,
and the power required to cover
given distance increases with near
ness to the equator. The wireless
route between Rome and Arlington is
for a good part of the way at least 800
miles nearer the equator than that
between Nauen and the United States.
which fact considerably adds to the
achievement of the Italian and Ameri-
can experts.-London Chronicle.

.-SANT WAY ALWAYS BEST
Nothing Ever Lost by Effort to Taleo
Sting Out Of Request That Must
Be Refused.

Do you know how to take the sting
out of anything unpleasant you have
to do? 1t is a good plan to learn how
to do this.
"She said she couldn't do 1t, but you
know how Effie would say such.a thing.
She tries SO hard to make everybody
feel pleasant. Now. when 1 say no.
people understand that mean no."
Marcia looked as well pleased with
herself as If she had announced more
amiable characteristic. She was girl
with peculiarly blunt and uncom-
promising manner. II she refused re-
quest. her refusal was as downright as
a blow. 1t was never softened by any
little phrase suggesting regret. And
Marcia was SO well satisfied with her
self that she felt something like con-
tempt for the way Effie took the sting
out Of saying no. and made the people
to whom she refused favor as CRATE
full as If she had granted it.
The girl who starts to go through
life with her SHOWS out is going to
find the road hard to travel. If she
prides herself on being blunt and out
spoken, she may need to use that as
consolation for her sore heart many
time. 1t pays to make even refusal
pleasant. 1t pays to take out the sting
whenever possible. and drop in the
honey. One who starts out as Marcia
did, priding herself on being blunt, and
contemptuous of the little courtesies.
is likely to come to old age friendless
and embittered. Learn to be pleasant
and take out the sting-Exchange.
