The potato, hay and tobacco crops

just announced by the Bureau of
Statistics of the Pennsylvania Depart

THURSDAY EVENING,
bushel has been $1.30 for a crop esti
mated at 18,564,000 bushels while last
year's crop of 20,502,000 bushels sold
for an average price of 80 cent 3 a
bushel. This shows an increase in the
value of the potato crop of from $16,-
401,000 to $24,133,300. The average
price obtained at this time covers the
period of the past year and with thou
sands of bushels still being held and
in many places selling at from $1.60 to
$2.00 a bushel it is very likely that
the value of the present season crop
will be much larger than the present
estimate. ,
The hay production during the past
year was the largest ever known in
this State, the estimate placing the
yield at 5,241,270 tons as compared
with 3,558,000 tons in 1915. There
were 3,195,000 acres of hay harvested
against 3,015,000 a year ago and the
average yield was 1.64 tons to an acre
against a yield of 1.18 tons an acre
last year. In 1908 the average per
acre was 1.5 tons but the bumper crop
this season was far ahead. While the
average price per ton was (15.90 last
year the immense production has
brought an average price of $14.50 in
the State and the value of the crop is
$75,998,415 as compared with $56,-
572.200 for the 1915 crop.
The tobacco production Is estimated
at 45,560,000 pounds on 34,000 acres
as compared with a production of 45,-
675,000 pounds on 31,500 acres a year
ago. The average was 1,340 pounds to
an acre against an average of 1,450
pounds a year ago. The tobacco crop
which is principally grown In Lan
caster county suffered from the worms,
several severe hall storms and some
was caught by the early frosts. But
tobacco that averaged ten cents a
pound a year ago has brought an in
crease of fifty per cent, in price and
the average price per pound for 1916
was raised to fifteen cents. The 1916
crop is valued at $6,834,000 as com
pared with $4,667,500 for the 1915
crops.
Cured Kis RUPTURE
I was badly ruptured while lifting a
trunk several years ago. Doctors said
my only hope of cure was an operation.
Trusses did me no good. Finally I got
hold of something that quickly ana
completely cured me. Years have pass
ed and the rupture has never returned,
although I am doing hard work as a
carpenter. There was no operation, no
lost time, no trouble. I have nothing
to sell, but will give full information
about how you may And a complete
cure without operation, if you write to
me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter,
305 C Marcellus avenue, Manasquan, N.
J. Better cut out this notice and show
it t6 any others 'who are ruptured—
you may save a life or at least stop the
misery of rupture and the worry ana
danger of an operation.

Congressman Bailey
Intimates There Is
Plot to Keep Paper Up
Washington. D. C., Jan. 4. lnt
imating: strongly that there is a con
spiracy of the "special interests" to se
cure control of the paper supply of the
country and thereby to put independent
newspapers out of business, Congress
man Warren Worth Bailey, in a state
ment, asserts that he will urge an in
vestigation into the cause for the rapid
advancement in prices of paper.
In his statement asking support of
his resolution demanding an inquiry,
Mr. Bailey says he has little doubt that
a conspiracy between paper manufac
turers and dealers exists. This agree
ment, he intimates, is fostered by "big
business" for the suppression of the
| small and independent newspapers. This
statement does not take into considera
tion, however, the fact that the largest
newspapers and magazines in the coun
try have been protesting againßt the
high price of paper as vigorously as the
small and "Independent" publications,

How to Be Rid of
Disgusting Dandruff
The only way to be permanently
rid of disgusting, untidy dandruff Is
to correct Its cause. Shampooing
merely cleanses the scalp for a few
days, then the scales form again as
thick as ever.
To destroy the dandruff germ and
get rid of dandruff for good, part the
hair and apply a little of the genuine
Parisian Sage directly on the bare
scalp, and rub It in with the finger
tips for a few minutes until absorb
ed by the scalp. You will surely be
amazed at the result of even one ap
plication, for your hair and scalp will
look and feel 100 per cent, better.
Only a few days' massage with
Parisian Sage are needed to destroy
the germs that cause the dandruff to
form. The scalp becomes healthy
the hair will grow better and show
more life and vitality, and you need
never be troubled by dandruff again.
Faded, dull or lifeless hair is quickly
restored to beauty by this simple
process, which Is absolutely harm
less. and will not stain the hair or
make it greasy.
Parisian Sage can be obtained from
H. C. Kennedy and druggists every
vhere. It is not expensive.

MOHMANDSARE
TROUBLESOME
British Troops Round Up Tur
bulent Tribes For Inter
ment
Peshawar, Northwest Frontier Prov
ince, India, November 11 (correspond
ence of the Associated Press). —The
Mohmands, a nominally independent
and ever turbulent tribe, whose coun
try borders on administered British
territory in this region, having made
themselves generally objectionable dur
ing the last few months, have come in
for considerable attention at the hands
of the British recently. The latest
phase of the punishment being meted
out occurred to-day, when thousands
of troops engaged in a drive which
resulted in the rounding up for intern
ment of 400 Mohmands who were scat
tered in villages just inside the pro
vincial domain.
The Mohmands have always been
among the most troublesome of the
tribesmen living in the independent
territory between the northwest fron
tier province and Afghanistan. A year
ago they made raids and committed
murders in the Peshawar district. As
a penalty they were forbidden to enter
the province to trade. Angered by
this, they began to threaten war, and
several fights actually did take place.
At this time there were a number of
Mohmands living in British territory.
After the declaration of hostilities by
their brothers at home most of these
government guests were sent across
the border. Sir George Roos-Keppel,
chief commissioner for the northwest
frontier province, then put up along
the Mohmand border a line of barbed
wire entanglements, intersected with
strongly guarded blockhouses. The
i government of India at the same time
imported a number of aeroplanes, the
first ever seen in this part of the world,
and manned them with experienced
aviators fresh from the western the
ater of war.
Driven Into Trap
For a time these new methods of
warfare puzzled and worried IHie Moh
mands and they kept to their hills, but
recently they became more bold, and
under cover of night succeeded in cut
ting the barbed wire at one or two
places and committing small thefts.
Then it was that Sir George Roos-
Keppcl played his trump card by or
dering the Installation of a live wire,
which has been slung along the whole
Mohmands frontier, n distance of sev
enteen miles. The fact that this wire
carries 4,500 volts and means instant
death to anyone touching it has be
come known to the tribesmen, and at
present they are contenting themselves
with holding powwows in the moun
tains and making threats.
To-day's drive is said to be unique
to this section of the world. "Ba
ramta" is the name the natives give it.
this being Hindustani for "reprisal.''
It was the privilege of a correspndent
of the Associated Press to ride with
the troops and witness this unusual
hunt, which was for the purpose of
rounding all Mohmands of a fighting
age who had not previously been
driven across the border. The ba
ramta was divided into two sections,
one being in the narrow angle formed
by two branches of the Kabul river
and the other between one of these
branches and the barbed wire en
tanglement which forms a junction
with the river at the point where it
divides. The rivers and the wiro thus
made two V-shaped traps, toward the
points of which the drive was con
ducted, nothing in its path belng<.ble
to escape, for the Mohmands could
neither swim the river nor force their
way through the guarded barbed wire.
Several battalions of infantry and a
large number of cavalry took part in
the hunt, which began about ten miles
below the apex of the traps. A solid
line of troops was thrown across,
forming a triangle, whose base ever
moved forward, gathering everything
in its way.
The country across which the troops
had to proceed is level, but broken by
hundreds of irrigation ditches and
great fields of growing sugar cane. In
addition numerous villages lav in the
path and all these had to be Invaded
and thoroughly searched. It was u
curious sight to see the scores of
Mohmands scurrying like rabbits for
the cover of the cane fields and vil
lages ahead of the advancing troops.
Straight through the heavy barrier
of cano with its razor-like blades went
the Tommies and lancers, emerging
on the farther side with their catch
of Mohmands. who were herded to
gether under guard and brought along
in the rear.
The villages were more difficult, for
here the hunted concealed themselves
in all manner of queer places. But
one and all they were dug out of their
hiding places. For the most part the
Mohmands gave no trouble beyond try
ing to escape. The four hundred
Mohmands were brought back to
Peshawa, from which place they were
to be sent to an internment camp
until more peaceful times.
