PERROSE PRODIGALITY,
From the Harrisburg Patriot,
4 Peunsylvania is without cash to psy
its biile. Ite craditors must walt for
sn indefinite time for it has no inteu-
tion of converting ite assets into cui-
rency to pay even pressing obligatione,
This stringency is the product of
Penroselsm, of extravagance in the
fact of soleman warniuge in the midst
of its prodigality.
Io defense of its present plight, it
offers no excuse, It has none. It has
$ nea million and a half dollars iu
bia He y snd pothing with whion
to pay them. This humiliation, too,
ocours at a time when the country is
waxing fat on prosperity.
Yet this is the political organization
which will go before the people clam-
oring for their votes with the ery * any-
thing to beat Wilson.” Pennsylvania
owes it to burl back the clamor with
# gverything to beat Peorose.”
GOVERNOR'S PARTY TU BE HERE

Thirty-eight of Panpsylvania’s rich
farming counties with their divereified

Sounds Potato Blight Warning,
The cool weather of the lest few
days bas led Prof. C. R. Orton of the
botany department of The Pennsyl-
vania State College to warn potato
growers that If a period of rainy
weather should follow the present
cool spell a repetition of last year's
epidemic of late blight would likely
follow. In view of this possibility
growers who are prepared are advieed
to spray their potatoes with Bordeaux
mixture (4-460) immediately, as an
insurance agaist thie blight, A few
dollars expended in this way may
mean & considerable saving in the
senson’s Orop.
If copper tulphate cannot be obtain-
to make the Hordesux mixture some
commercial mixture of similar com-
position may be used to advantage ae

of Centre county bad enlisted into the
service. But to one who knows
Centre county intimately there Is no
#uch thing as a full quota while there
is a vacancy in the ranks of sony or-
ganization from thig region.
In order to provide for the vacancies
pow existing in Troop L, as well as in
all the other organizations now in the
United Btates service, Lieutenant R.
A. Zentmyer, recruiting officer for
this district, will open temporary
stations for recruting at Bellefonte and

the afternoon and evening of the fol.
lowing days:

State College, August 20, September
8 and 15.
Lieutenant Zentmyer will be glad to
meet any young man who feels the
call to duty, and to talk over with
him just what Is offered and expected.
It is suggested to the energetic and
patriotic young men that this is their
chance to prove their patriotiem and
their courage. Their fathers in '61 did
not wait for a draft or even for a
second eall, but rushed to snewer the
oall of their country at the firet oppor
