m COM FOR I SUPEITEIENCY Shambaugh and Garver Running For County Place to Be Filled May 5 PROF. F. K. SHAMHAUGH Special to The Telegraph -f,ykens. Pa., May I.—For the pur pose of electing a county superintend ent of public schools, the school di rectors of Dauphin county outside of Harrisburg will meet in that city on Tuesday, May 5, and an interesting contest has developed between Pro fessor H. V. B. Garver and Professor F. E. Shambaugh for the place. Professor Garver is the present in cumbent. He has served as superin tendent for more than ten years and is making a strong effort to be re-elected. Professor Garver has as his oppo nent a man not so widely known, pos sibly, but one who has an excellent reputation as a teacher and who has been for eleven years past supervisory principal of the Wiconisco township Bchools. Professor Shambaugh is a graduate of Susquehanna .University and has taken a postgraduate course at Columbia University. He has taken a special interest in the training of teachers and has been active in local Institute work. He is a member of the Masons, the Knights of Pythias, the Patriotic Order Sons of America, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Modern Woodmen. Professor Shambaugh said to-day: "I have made a clean contest for the office and I believe I will be elected, but during the past few days I have learned that some person, cither mis informed or unscrupulous, has mi iieiously circulated reports intended to injure me. I am quite willing to have »ny character and my personal record investigated, contident in the assur ance that I have never done anything to in any way bar me from the po sition to which I aspire." Issues Letter Professor Shambaugh to-day issued the following letter to the county directors, appended to which is the recommendation of S. 11. Miller, secre tary of the Wiconisco school board: ■{ "I take this method of announcing Vny candidacy for the important po sition of county superintendent of pub lic schools at the election to be held on the first Tuesday of May, 1914. "For the information of directors \vho may not be familiar with my Ns^ Good Eye! Steady Nerves! There's a Reason" FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH , MAY 1, 1914 work I want to say that I have ha<J an experience of llfteen years as a teacher, three of which were spent In the rural schools. I graduated from Susquehanna University in 1902 with the degree of bachelor of arts. Three years later the same college granted me the degree of master of arts. I huv also taken postgraduate work In education in teachers' college. Colum bia University, in Now York city, from which institution X shall secure the master's degree. "If elected, I promise an impartial, sane, progressive, administration and a helpful, sympathetic supervision of the rural schools, and to reorganize them so as to better serve the needs and interests of their individual com munities. and secure the maximum efficiency from teachers and pupils. Through the medium of organization 1 shall endeavor to bring the home and school Into closer relationship and co-operation. "I take this opportunity, also, of making a grateful acknowledgment of the many pledges of support which I have received in my canvass." LEBANON COUNTY FOR PENROSE [Continued From First Page] ago a resolution adopted by farmers of Idaho complaining because farm prod ucts had been placed upon the free list in the Deniooratis tariff law, and had been affected td such an extent that in many instances prices had al ready been reduced below the cost of production. "The conditions o four railroads and of the iron and steel industries of the country is well known. You will have observed that pig iron is now coming in trom Nova Scotia, thus outdoing tho anomaly of 'carrying coals to Now Castle.' If there is a single branch of trade which has not yet felt at least premonitory symptoms of the free trade paralysis, I do not know what it is. "Why in our own county and town, the plans are running about 50 per cent, of their capacity. The head of a certain concern which formerly had a large business in the Gulf States told me the other day that his product had been entirely supplanted there by foreign manufacturers, who, under the new tariff and the cheap ocean freight rates prevailing from Europe to Amer ica, are able to sell at a profit at less than It costs him to produce. One of the largest and most successful indus trial corporations in this State has recently passed its dividend. Reduction of Wages "In at leas tone local instance that I know of wages have already been reduced and I fear that we are on the verge of a general wage reduction all along the line. This, to my mind, would be a calamity for which the American people would never forgive the Democratic Administration. We have built up here in the United States a social and ndustrlal standard which has made the American wage earner the envy and admiration of the world. Honest toil has brought comforts and even luxuries that toilers never knew before. "Are we to sacrifice them all to the fetish of free trade? I will not believe that the Intelligent wage earners of this land will permit it. "We have been told that the Under wood law is a 'tariff for revenue only.' The condition of business indicates very clearly that it certainly lives up to the word 'only.' There is, as Mr. Underwood said, 'not one atom ol' pro tection in it.' No Revenue From It "But recent figures 'from tho De partment of Commerce show also that it does not produce the revenues nec essary to operate the government even in times of peace. In the month of March imports free of duty had in creased to $111,053,480 as compared With $84,216,033 In March, 1913. Du tiable imports shrank from $71,229,- 465 In March, 1913, to $70,876,559 In March. 1914. Meanwhile, our exports decreased and tlje excess of exports over imports known as 'the balance of tra'de," decreased from $31,987,213 In March, 1918, to $5,384,131 last month. "Thus, we arc about eo enter upon a costly war with an apparent balance of trade in our favor of about $60,- 000,000; whereas, under Republican administrations, our balance exceeded ! $650,000,000. "Nor is there any good reason to suppose that this small balance of $5,- 000,000 a month will be retained, for as the sapping Influence of free trade goes on, the inliux of foreign goods will be constantly greater and the ex ports of domestic goods constantly smaller. My prediction is that within six months the balance of trade will be against us instead of in our favor. "Ordinarily, government revenues do not mean much to the average citizen, but now that we are talking about raising a million dollars a day to fight Mr. Huerta, revenues take on a new significance. The stamp tax and vari ous other methods of raising war funds bring the question home to everybody, rich and poor, high and low. "So I, say that there are many im portant phases to the senatorial cam paign which will begin with the pri maries on May 19. Wo must protect not only our private businesses, our employes and our farming communi ties, but we must protect Uncle Sam also. "How shall we do it? Not by the election of a free-trader to the United Staes Senate. Bhat goes without say ing, Not by the election of a theo retical forester who may know a great deal about trees, but who has certainly never given any indication that he. knew much about practical business requirements. De must elect a Re publican Senator. Dimmick and Penrose "That being the case, the first thing to do is to nominate one. There were in the beginning three candidates. One of them has withdrawn, leaving two— Mr. Dimmick, of Scranton, and our present senior Senator, Mr. Penrose. I do not know Mr. Dimmick and I know very little about him except what has bene said in the newspapers since he became a candlate. Of course, if the majority of Republicans want him, they will nominate him at the primaries, and in that event wo will all support him. "But Senator Penrose we do know. Most of us have met him personally and those of us who have not are thor oughly acquainted with his work in Washington ill behalf of the eight million people who inhabit Pennsyl vania. We know him to be honest. We know hi mto be energetic—pro digiously so. We know him to be ca pable and efficient. We know his fa cility for achieving things for Penn sylvania and his unswerving loyalty to the State he represents—its big in terests and its little interests—its Re publican interests and its Democratic interests —all interests and all classes. "Surely, we would be very foolish men if, knowing Senator Penrose as we do, we were to fail to use our best efforts to convey the information we possess to other voters in the county who may not know him so well and who may have gotten a false impres sion of him though the tireless tirades of his personal enemies. Let us tell j our Republican friends that if they want a Sentor in Washington who can lead for them, they must retain tho Senator who is now leading for them and has been leading for many years. Newcomers in the United States Sen •jate are required by precedent to take a back seat, and it would be a long I ('me before Dr. Dimmick or anyone j else could possibly have the prestige [and influence which Senator Penrose (possesses and which Pennsylvania hnust have.

Many even assert that they would cheerfully subscribe to any pol icy of the United States which would insure them a continuation of the present conditions and the extension of these conditions to the rest of the republic. Many Factions in Mexico Some careful observers among the Mexicans, however, take a pessimistic view and do not believe that anything short of complete American occupa tion of Mexico would bring about these desired results. They point out that many factions arc striving for power in various sections of the republic. The entire State of Morelos is abso lutely controlled by the followers of Zapata, while the State of Guerrero is under the jurisdiction of the Figueroa brothers; furthermore, northern Mex ico, much of the western coast and isolated points elsewhere, such us Tamplco, are controlled or hemmed in by the supporters of Carranza and Villa. In the capital Provisional President Iluerta is in the saddle, but strong factions favoring Carranza, Felix Diaz, or some other aspirant to the presidency, are intriguing against Huerta and each other. Zapata and the Figueroa brothers have been run ning things in the country they control without regard to any claims of a cen tral power. Such States are virtually independent principalities within the borders of the distracted republic. This statement of general conditions is made by Mexicans to support the idea that complete American occupa tion is the only thing that will bring lasting peace. Fndorse Occupation Idea There is also an clement of Mexi cans and American refugees now in Vera Cruz who express doubt that the mediation undertaken by Argentina, Brazil and Chile, or similar negotia tions, will bring about a stable coali tion of the warring factions in the republic or result in the re-establish ment of order. They are of the opin ion personal Jealousies would pre vent th selection of any leader to rep resent them all, and they unhesitating ly declare that, in their opinion, ambi tion and not patriotism actuates a great majority of the Mexican fac tionists. It Is apparent that local opinion of the future is most conflicting. Another idea presented to-day by thoughtful Mexicans is that the only solution of the problem lies In a partial occupa tion of Mexico by the United States and the establishment under American protection of a government similar to the one formed in Nicaragua, which would later be succeeded by duly elected Mexican officers, the Ameri cans supervising the elections and vouching for their fairness. The Idea is receiving considerable endorsement from a group of Mexican officials who have remained in the city. The American authorities, civil, naval anil army, arc making every ef fort to disseminate throughout the re public truthful pictures of the benevo l<?n: rul>' already established in Vera There is reason to believe also that Washington is quietly working lo this saint- end through military and civil agents sent here to talk things over with representative Mexicans. These agents have been selected tor their knowledge of the Spanish lan guage and their familiarity with Mex ico and the Mexicans, and they are said to be making every effort to make plain the disinterested motives of the Washington Administration as well as its firm resolve that order be restored and a stable government erected. Close study of the local situation leads to the belief that, by delaying any con templated extension of military opera tions. the Washington government feels there is a probability that armed resistance may be eliminated to a measureble degree and countless lives saved. This is thought to be the pur- i pose of the effort to scatter broadcast i through the territory toward Mexico j City, and send into the cap.tal itself, i a full account, not only of the kindly j treatment given Mexicans here, but also of the number, effectiveness and j complete equipment of the army and , navy forces now employed in Vera | Cruz, and their readiness for further use of required. Power Will Soon Leave Mexican residents of Vera Cruz were free to express to-day their conviction that the continuation in power of Pro visional President Huerta is a matter of only weeks at most. With tlffc | sources of large revenue cut off here and on the western coast, and Tam- | pico isolated and likely to fall into the I hands of the Constitutionalists any j day, they believe that General Huerta! would welcome a development in the situation which would afford him an opportunity for escape without loss of dignity. This idea, however, is purely speculation, as no Mexican here claims to know anything of General Huerta's plans or hopes. If General Huerta should abdicate, or be ousted from office by Carranza and Villa, there is a strong belief in Vera Cruz that the United States probably would feel obliged to permit the Constitutional ists to make every effort to re-estab lish a government That the rebels are competent to do this, a majority of local Mexicans do not believe, and they are to-day expressing the opinion that the United States will continue in possession of Vera Cruz; they fear that departure now would mean ulti mate return in order to complete the work by advancing on Mexico City. Huerta Losing Ground in Mexican Capital Special to 7he Telegraph Vera Cruz, May I. According to confidential advices received here to day, sentiment In Mexico City Is turn ing against Huerta, who is said to be considering fight. Officials here de cline to discuss the possibility of the dictator coming to this city. The commander of the French war ship Conde received word to-day that San Luis Potosl had fallen into the hands of the rebels and that Huerta's position was desperate. The same source also alleged that Huerta was seizing the contents of sa loons so as to obtain a supply of rum for his soldiers, and by keeping them theoretically happy retain their adher ence. Huerta's friends fear that hla end will come with the approach of the rebels to the capital and that he will meet a fate similar to that of II&- dero. The French consul, 3. Brouzat, to day conferred with General Maa» and arranged for a special train on Fri day to Mexico City, flying the French flag. The consul goes on an import ant secret mission. Two British sub jects, H. V. Blake and Stephen Bett ley, obtained passports from the Brlt ] Ish consul to accompany Brouzett. General Maas gave assurance that the ; train will lie protected by Merloni! troops. Flower Refrigeration Made Possible by Means of Electrical Currents In England extensive use Is made of electrical refrigeration to enable cer tain flowers to be kept ready for table use all the year around. When the "crowns" of the lilies, as they are called, are just beginning to shoot, the plants are taken out of the ground and placed in cold storage. The ef fect of the low temperature is to re tard the development of the plan with out injurying it. After being removed from the low temperature plants are placed In the ground out of doors, when tile season is favorable, and when not, in soil in ordinary pots in the greenhouse, or in moss in vaßes. In any case the plants bloom in from three weeks to a month from the time of being taken out of cold storage. A number of other plants, including lilium auratum and lillum lancifolium, can also be kept in cold storage and taken out when required. It will thus bo seen that it is only a question of arranging an advance schedule in order to have any of these plants that can be cold-stored in bloom at any time of the year. In addition to the foregoing the florist adopting cold storage has at his command a method of retarding the blooming of plants in actual growth. Hy placing them In cold storage for a little while the development of the plant is retarded, and they can be brought out again before the occasion for which they are required and al lowed to finish their blooming.—Elec trical World. VGKGEANCE Or THE "REUBENS" [From the Easton Free Press.] A correspondent writes to ask if there ought not to be a closer co-op eration between the city and the coun try. He speaks particularly of the constant tendency among people living In cities and towns, to ridicule the dwellers in the rural outskirts as "Reu bens." The townsman pays his price for this sentiment. He is having to-day to pay high prices for his meat and his eggs and his corn, simply because there are '2£l_£lL 0 -"- R 11 People engaged in farming.

Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home.

Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft luster and ap pearance of abundance which is so attractive: besides, prevents dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair.—Adver tisement.
