r. D. Cooper, president of the Dairy
mems league. said at a banquet In
New York:
Farmers should marry. A bachelor
farmer is a solecism. No farmer.
though, should marry wife as he
buys tractor-for the work he can

Mr.. Cooper smiled.
"The farmer who marries," he ended,
thinking he can do nothing without
a wife. is apt to discover afterward
that he can do nothing with her."

FARMERS TOLD
TOSECURE CORN
Patton Declares That It Is
Highly Important to Have
Seed of Good Type

Warming for farmers of Pennsyl-
Nania who have not yet secured seed
corn for this springs planting to
take immediate action and an offer
to help procure high grade corn at
cost were issued to-day by the
states Bureau of Markets and sup
plemented by a statement from Sec
retary of Agriculture Charles Il.
Patton. The bureau called attention
TO the fact that the state is shorter
than ever known before of high per-
centage of terminating corn and
tests are showing that corn sup
posed to be of good grade is poor
this year because of unfavorable
weather last fall and the early COM
ing of winter.
Secretary Patton said that the
supply in Pennsylvania, one of the
greatest of the raising states
in the east, was being bought up by
agents from Massachusetts and Con-
necticut and. that demands for it
had come from Indiana. Ohio and
Michigan. Late demands may make
1t extremely difficult to obtain the
quality we need and farmers should
get their corn in now" said the sec
retary. We are ready in the Bureau
OF Markets to buy or sell seed corn
and l strongly urge farmers to act
at once. The bureau has been work
ing on the proposition for weeks and
mas listed a considerable quantity of
high grade corn"

morning were to the effect that many
schools can boast of having the
perfect record. Miss Blanche Clever
reported that seven rooms of the low

Clever had charge of the drive in this
building. Miss Irene Downes. of the
West Side building reports her school

report of the school drive will be
made at o'clock to-day.
Mrs. Frank A. Robbins, chairman
of the chapter reported this morning
that four boxes of garments were
sent to the Philadelphia office this
week. These boxes contained 600
knitted articles and garments. Mrs.
Robbins said that next week the 500

suggests that assistants secure the
removal of fire hazards in their
communities and interest individual
citizens in importance of correcting
dangerous conditions. The state is
confronted with heavy fire loss each
year; it is more than ever essential
that we cut this down." says the
Marshal.
Must Load Cause.-The Public Ser
vice Commission has announced II
ruling calling upon the Pittsburgh,
Fort Wayne and Chicago and the
Pennsylvania Company to amend its
tariffs by cancelling the requirement
that milk shippers at various points
in Beaver county must load the cans.
Until May l last the railroad en-
ployes loaded tine cans. In an
opinion by Commissioner Killing it
is found that the trains are often
late and that to require shippers to
remain at stations to load cans
would be burdensome, especially
when Ohio has made q rule that
the railroad employees shall load the
eans.s 1t is also stated in the opinion
that the Interstate Commerce rules
require the same thing.
Capitol Closed-To- day was a holi-
day at the Capitol and the depart
msnts were all closed. Most of
them will remain closed tomorrow.
More Police Enlisted-Three more
men have been enlisted in the state
police to fill vancancies.
Compensation Cause.-The State
Compensation Board has upheld
Referee Thomas j. Dunn in refusing
to set aside the compensation agree
ment between Maria Alexander and
w. j. Rainey, Uniontown, on the
ground that the claimant awarded
compensation for the death of her
son, Pat Alexander, has remarked.
The board holds that the provision
in the compensation law providing
for setting aside of an award in event
of remarriage of a dependant can
refer only to a widow and not to a
dependent parent. The board has
dismissed appeals in Mabel p. Sheal-
er, Camp Hill, VS.. Noah +. Herr
Lancaster; Lillian c. Bobb. Camden,
vs.. Baldwin Locomotive Works;
Kane VS.. Allegheny River Mining
Co., Kittanning, and Annie E. Bobb
VS.. Louis Kadison, Philadelphia.
To Change Pians-Changes will
be made in the plans for the state
hatchery at Union City by Commits
sioner Butler and new bids will be
asked to be opened next month.
To Consider LeaSe-The lease be-
tween the city of Philadelphia and
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co,
which was sent to the Public Service
Commission for approval, will be
taken up when the commission
meets here Tuesday. The office is

Dead Hubby Comes
Back; Finds Wife
Has Wed Another

Chicago.-Judge Mahoney. of the
Court of Domestic Relations, is one
of those uncompromising jurists
who believe that when a man dies
he ought to stick to it. He assured
Mrs. Gertrude Abbink of this and
told her to seek the divorce court.
Mrs. Abhink formerly was Mrs.
Glenn Summers. Glen, according to
his wife. was a great believer in per-
sonal liberty, and so, following, he
used to stay away from home a good
deal.
One day Mrs. Summers appeared
in the Court of Domestic Relations
and informed the officers thereof
that Clem was working but hadn't
been home for two weeks. Glenn
was arrested and given advice. The
summers patched it up and went
back to housekeeping for two weeks.
Glenn trtckled away again.
That was in August, 1916. In Au-
gust, 1917. Mrs. Summers received a
telegram from one Kate Brooks, a
cousin of Clem's, explaining that,
sadly enough. Glenn had died.
Last fall Mrs. Summers met and
married Mrs. Abbink and went to
live at 1915 Ravenswood avenue.
She took with her the three children
born under the Summers regime.

DRESS WOUNDS WITH MOSS
Bog Growth Proves Boon in Surgi.
cal Work

Savannah. Ga.-There is an over
whelming demand for spanghum
moss to be used in hospitals abroad
for dressing wounds. Mrs. A. p.
Taylor, of Thomasville, whose name
is prominent in botanical circles, in
response to a request from a mem
ber of the Chicago committee for
the American Fund for French
Wounded. mailed recently to Pro-
fessor John NJ. Coulter. of the Chi
cago University, samples of the
spanghum moss for examination.
This moss, which is known as bog
or peat moss, Professor Coulter stat
ed. is needed in the work of the hos
pitfalls. This moss has been found
to have many advantages over alb
sorbent cotton for infected wounds,
being lighter and cooler and less ir-
ritating.
The purpose of the committee in
applying to local botanists for in
formation in regard to this moss is
that they may designate and list the
areas of the country where the moss
may be procured. 1t is found IN
abundance in all of the swamps
