ORCKARD WORK IS
TO BE ENURGED
Or. Surface Plant One of the
Biggest Information Bureaus
on Sabject in Land
WILL LIST ALL THE TREES
First Work Will Be Started Within
the Next Fortnight by State
Inspectors
State Zoologist H. A. Surface Is
about to Inaugurate the most compre
hensive system of orchard service In
any State In the Union and It con
templates first-hand Information not
only about the Blze and character of
every one of the orchards of the State
but data regarding the trees and what
pests have afflicted them. Incidentally,
the Information will have a commer
cial value because It will set forth the
varieties of trees and where fruits of
certain brands can be obtained.
The orchard Inspectors and demon
strators will start out next week to
collect this data from the orchards
under State observation. These num
ber approximately 2,000, and when
they are finished other orchards will
be taken up. It Is estimated that of
the 223,000 farmers in the State at
least 190,000 have orchardß, although
the commercial orchards are compara
tively few in number. In addition to
apples, pears, peaches and other fruits
data will be collected regarding ber
ries of various kinds and a State ser
vice of gigantic size outlined. This
will enable first-hand information to
be secured at the Capitol regarding
the horticultural interests of the State.
"The work will take several years to
complete, but we think that It will go
fast once It is started," said Dr. Sur
face. "We will endeavor to reach as
many orchard owners as possible by
our men, to reach others by mall, and
there will be many people who will
send us data. I have been in corre
spondence with many orchard owners
and pepole who buy from them and
they have encouraged the plan. With
IVils data and the scientific care of
fruit trees which has become the rule
in the State I think we can add thou
sands of dollars to the value of the
fruit crops in Pennsylvania annually
because we will bring them closer to
markets and stimulate careful develop
ment and proper care."

IF HI IS TURhING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beautify
Faded, lifeless Hair
That beautiful, even shade of dark,
flossy hair can only bo had by brew
ing a mixture of Sago Tea and Sul
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars tho face. When it
fades, turns gray, streaked and looks
dry, wispy and scraggly, just an ap
plication or two of Sage and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundred
fold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store a 50
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Hair Remedy," ready to use
This can always be depended upon
to bring back the natural color, thick
ness and luster of your hair and re
move dandruff, stop scalp itching and
falling hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens so natural
ly and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through the hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair has disappeared, and
after another application it becomes
beautifully dark and appears glossy,
lustrous and abundant.—Advertise

WEDNESDAY EVENING
DEMOCRATS' IB i
INTERESTS PRESS
Newspaper Comments Upon the
White House Primaries and the
Slating of Ticket
VIEWPOINTS ARE VARIED
Gifford Pinchot Comes in For a
Slap—Everyone Looking
For Entertainment
Tho newapapera of the Stat® are i
making some very Interesting com- j
ments upon the war In the Democratic
camp over the division of the noml- '
nations for the offices In November
and especially are there caustic com
ments upon President Wilson's Inter
ference in the affairs of the Democrats
of Pennsylvania. The slate framed by
the quartet of men who assume to
run the affairs of the Democracy In
the Keystone State does not appear to
have aroused the enthusiasm one
would suppose from the elaborate
staging of its launch.
Here are some comments from
newspapers of the State:
THE IUNDI/Y MR. WILSON
(Pittsburgh Gazette-Times)
It is so nice a ticket that was nom
inated for Pennsylvania by President
Wilson and a few friends in the offices
of the new New Freedom at Washing
ton the other day that we have no
doubt the children soon will be whist
ling lt, whatever strong men may do
about voting It.
DROPPING THE EFFICIENT
(Philadelphia Press)
The internal revenue office in this
city is being cleared of Republicans
experienced in the work as rapidly as
circumstances will permit. The theory
is that this is being done by the col
lector on his own initiative, but as a
matter of fact the whole business is
in the hands of the commissioner of
internal revenue at Washington, who
acts upon the recommendation of
Democratic congressmen who are au
thorized to place the positions In this
service where they will do the most
good. Collectors in some districts
have found that this practice is de
moralizing the service as it is load
ing upon them many men who do not
know the business and do not indicate
that they have any capacity to learn
it.
MR. PINCHOT, »F
(Philadelphia Bulletin)
The Identity of Gifford Pinchot with
Pennsylvania has only been discovered
since he became a candidate for Unit
ed States Senator. Most Pennsyl
vanians themselves might have as
signed him to the class of wealthy
floaters who are to be found any
where between New York and Frisco,
with an occasional sojourn at Wash
ington.
THE IMPOSSIBLE
(Chambersburg Valley Spirit)
One thing must be distinctly borne
in mind. It is quite an impossible
thing for any man, or set of men,
whether in Washington, Philadelphia,
Ilarrisburg or Pittsburgh, to force any
candidate upon the Democratic party
in this State whom it does not de
liberately choose.
WILSON AS A SIjATK MAKER
[From the Wilmington News.J
Rather odd. in some respects, is the
news from Washington that President
Wilson has arranged a slate for the
Democrats of Pennsylvania. Keeping
out of State politics—that evidently is
not the Wilson view. If he makes the
slate in that old Commonwealth, what
should prevent him from writing names
on the slates for other States? Evi
dently the functions of the President
are widening.
BOSS RULE
[From the Pittston Gazette.]
It will be interesting and edifying to
note the attitude of the rank and file
of the Democratic party in Pennsylva
nia toward the spectacle of the Wash
ington administration fixing up their
slate of candidates for Governor and
Senator. This is boss rule with a ven
geance in the so-called "party of the
people."
WHITE HOUSE PRIMARIES
1 [Prom the Mahanoy City Record]
i While the Democracy of the nation
feel proud of President Wilson and
his Administration, there is no dis
counting the fact that White House
primaries for State politics are not
popular. The people these days cal
culate that it is their right to nomi
nate at primaries. When three or
four men undertake that job for them,
tho party Is "electioneering for a
lickin'." It Is neither ethical nor ex
pedient. and not justifiable. It is just
"dampliool" politics. '
PENNSYLVANIA US STILL FREE
[From the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times]
Notwithstanding the White House
slate for the elective offices of this
State, Michael J. Ryan, of Philadel
phia, intends to remain in the race for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor, being under the Impression that,
although there is a Democratic ad
ministration in Washington, it is yet a
free country in Pennsylvania.
THE WASHINGTON TICKET
[From the Franklin Repository]
For unadulterated downright boss
ism this meeting at Washington is en
titled to the prize. In the first place
wo have a President, a resident of
New Jersey, dictating who shall be
placed on the ticket in Pennsylvania
for the Democrats of this State to
support next Fall. Then we have the
peculiar and egotistical spectacle of
two of those present assuming that
they are the only two men in the great
Democratic party of Pennsylvania fit
to take these important places on the
ticket.
BOSSISM
[From the Allentown Chronicle and
News]
A small fraction of the while Dem
ocratic vote of Pennsylvania gathers
at the White House and virtually, at
the dictation of the "anti-boss" Presi
dent, frames a slate that It is demand
ed of the people to support. The prin
cipal aim of the primary laws Is thus
defeated, yet Democrats have the ef
frontery to tell us that they are op
posed to bosßism. If the action of
the White House conference is not
bossism of the most flagrant stripe
pray what is it?
GRIEVANCES OF THE OLD GUARD
[From the Wilkes-Barre Record]
The Old Guard Democrats who will
flock to the side of Mr. Ryan have
two serious grievances—one of them
the high-handed manner In which the
Orgs.nizatlon was wrested from them
by the Palmer-McCormick faction and
the other the high-handed manner in
which Mr. Palmer, official distributor
of patronage, has ignored the stand
pat faction. ,
