In nearly all cases, howe\er, the postmasters reported the plan pro vided city families with a better grade of farm produce.

Senator Penrose was given a splendid recep tion here last week and even a news paper opposed to him politically was decent enough to admit that the greet ing was a tine compliment. But the Harrisburg Patriot, the personal organ of Vance C. McCormick. Democratic candidate for Governor, referred to the affair as a "frost." The same paper told a story of the finding of an empty beer case In the Republican ' tent the next day when McCormick arrived. It was not decent enough to l say that the tefit was generously al- I lowed by the Republicans to remain standing for the use of the Demo crats or to explain that the alleged beer case was one of the soft-drink containers of a refreshment stand ad joining. McCormick may get a vote here and there, by thus misrepresent ing facta, but it's doubtful. Entrenchments, Which Took 3 Days to Baild, Are Torn Down in Few Minutes Paris, Aug. 24, 5.35 A.
