Il. kanuo. travelling passenger agent
for the Atlantic Coast Line, presided
as todSlmdSIer, and the Musurgia
Quartet gave musical program.
High tribute was paid to the pa

who come in contact with the travel
ing public, and MIR. Elliott suggested
that if the incoming administering
would pick its diplomatic representa-
tires from among the ticket agents,
there would be no need of league of
nations.
The passenger agents, the ticket
agents and other RAILROAD men who
meet the public directly do more to
make a road popular than. do the su-
perintendents and presidents of the
road. said Mr.. Graves, who urged that
the spirit of helpfulness, patience and
consideration for others that so often
distinguishes those employees be made
principle Of the daily life of every
one.
Mr.. Syme spoke in a humorous way
of THE Passing of the Free Pass"
and recalled in anecdote the days
when an acQuaintanceship with rail-
road official made it unnecessarily for
a traveller to patronize the ticket
agent.

SENATE BEGINS DEBATE
ON MEAT PACKING BILL
Kenyon Says Two Main Charges
Should Be Approved or
Disapproved.

Debate on the Kenyon bill for gov

ers was begun in the Senate yester-
day by Senator Kenyon of Iowa. The
bill is the unfinished business of the
Senate.
Two main charges, reiterated time
ana again, deserve either a disap-
proval or action by Congress" Sem
ator Kenyon said. "The first is that
the five great Chicago packers, Swift,
Armour. Morrison, Wilson and Cudahy,
acting In combination, have substan-
TALLY monopolized the industry.
THE second. that by their growing
tendency to monopolize the distri-
button OF other foodstuffs and meat
they constitute a threat against the
welfare of the entire Consuming
public.

authority of the trade commission. l

with which the packers have fought

assemblage of the greatest and most

ing expenses through the special re-
lief funds Of the Associated Charities,
making a total of $3.561.33. This is
an increase of so per cent over the
corresponding period of last year.
The part which sickness plays in
the current work of the society is in
dicated by the fact that 81 per cent

reported as suffering from physical
disabilities. Unemployment was found
in sixty-1ve of the total number of
families under card. and underem-

PLACE AN EMBARGO ON DISEASE.

Our largest import from the Orient
is death. The history of disease shows
that the most virulent and deadly dis
eases known 10 the western world have
had their origin somewhere east of
Suez"
1t is now a matter of common knowl-
edge that the influenza made its first
appearance in the mountains of Turk
estan. Ii carried off more than half
million people in the United States III
l9lS-19l9 and returned this winter for
new victims.
Information collected by the Inter
church World Movement shows that in
fuenza is not the first deadly disease
to come from the Orient. China is the
ancestral home OF smallpox. The
Black Death, which swept Europe in
the fourteenth century and carried off
20 100000 men. women and children,
came from the East with Il Chinese car
avan of silks and spices. The bubonic
plague, which still shows its head oc-
casionally in New Orleans or Califor'
MIA, was an import from China.
Only the other day case of anthrax
was reported in New York City. and
nine cases out OF ten, says the Inter
church, IL the hair of the shaving
ing brush from which the infection was
received WAS traced to its original
habitat, 1t would be on the back OF Il
Chinese animal. A few years ago
number Of persons died in Boston ms
result of anthrax infection imported
with Chinese hides
The amount of sickness in the Far
East is almost beyond the comprehen-
sion OF the western mind. There are
villages in China where every inhah-
liant has some form of tuberculosis.
Four hundred thousand lepers are wan
dering unbindered through India. The
Near-Easi' is tceming with typhus.
The lntcrchurch World Movement Is
urging the enlistment of more medical
missionaries to help clean up the
plague spots. In many parts of the
orient. the medical missionary is the
only evangel of health To his efforts
can he traced directly many first steps
toward sanitation and disease preven-
ton.
Christian colleges in the Orient are
providing meulcal INSTRUCTION. lof III"
tives and Christian hospitals are train
ing native nurses.
At least 655 new medical mission
aries are being requested by the
churches participating In the Inter
church Movement for work during the
coming year. More than 1,SoO Will be
needed in the next five years.
You can't put an embargo ON dis
ease" says DIR. John McAiurray OF tho
Medical Department of the lnterchurch
World Movement. "You can bar the

LANCASTER, Pa, May %, 1872

LANCASTER, Pa, May %, 1920.
The past week has been favorable
for tobacco plants and they are show
ing up fairly we'll. Some of the local
growers have them almost ready for
planting. There will be no scarcity, as
every grower has enough in beds to
plant more acres than he has on his
property. The scarcity of plants last
year induced the farmers to SOW a suf-
ficient quantity, that would absolutely
take care of present needs.
Planting will be later than usual this
season. The weather has been very
unfavorable, but it will not act as a
deterrent to good crops. The planting
will begin in week or so, and the
only thing that may prevent it is frost
or heavy rains.
Acreage has not decreased as much
as at first reported, according to re-
ports from different sections of the to-
bacco growing districts. There will be
no material difference in the output this
year, it is expected, over the past few
seasons.
With the interest of local packers
turned toward the Dayton convention,
Lancaster was desert, literally, this
week, as far as current news is con-
cerned. Practically every packer left
Lancaster Saturday for the big doings,
inasmuch as vital legislation touching
the future life of the industry was up
for consideration.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market

EDGERToN, Wis. June II, 1920
Transactions in cured goods are few
and apparently the usual dullness at
this season is with us. Warehouse
handling continues and it will take
some weeks yet before the end is
reached.
The transplanting has commenced in
earnest and the balance of June will
be busy, times for the growers. Some
beds are advanced so far that a hustle
has to be made to prepare the fields to
receive the plants. With occasional
showers the greater portion ought to
be planted by July 1st. Good strong
healthy plants is the report that comes
from nearly all sections.

NAL yield, and many have abandoned
their best cash crop for some other less
profitable. Now the old tobacco fields
of the state may again grow luxuriant
crops of tobacco, and their owners are
praising the scientists. Even better
developments are to be expected along
this line, now that the proper method
of securing results has been developed.
