FRIDAY EVENING,
MOVE PEACH CROP
AS FIRST THING
Secretary Patton Outlines
What His Naw Bureau Will
Do For the State
Secretary of Agriculture Charles
E. Patton has arranged that the first
work of the newly-created Bureau
of Markets of the Department of
Agriculture would be to help move
the enormous peach crop which is
expected in the State and to follow
up this work in assisting with the
marketing of the apple and potato
crops.
Secretary Patton declared that the
bill was one of the best measures
ever passed for the benefit of the
people of the State and that its pur
pose is to serve to bring the pro
ducers and the consumers in close
touch with each other. On account
of the small appropriation allowed
for the work for two years the Mar
keting Bureau will operate in con
junction with the Bureau of Agri
cultural Statistics and in this way
better service, it is believed, can be
given to the farmers and the peo
ple of the State. Work will be
started early next week in organiz
ing the Bureau although many of
the plans are now being worked out
through the farm advisers.
One object of the Bureau will be
to get information on the supply of
farm products and to get the peo
ple of the State in touch with the
producers who have a supply for
the market. Daily information will
be received from points throughout
the State showing where different
products are needed and where a
surplus is on hand so that Pennsyl
vania producers will not overcrowd
the markets and will not let any
markets go with a short supply.
The Bureau of Markets will co
operate with the Granges and all
farmers' organizations and the rail
roads. Co-operative marketing or
ganizations will be formed at var
ious points and rules and regula
tions for the standardizing, grad
ing and labeling of farm products
will be established. There will be
a State inspection label adopted
which will go as a guarantee for
Pennsylvania products and the aim
will be to make Pennsylvania prod
ucts bearing the State label famous
for their quality throughout the
country.
The bill gives, unusual power to
the Department of Agriculture and
is expected to prove quite effective
in handling the food supply of the
State.

SUGGESTION" FOR CAMP
One of the camp convenience* that
you fellows will find it well worth
ta£ in gr time to prepare is a dresser.
\\ hen you have unpacked yotfr camp
outfit, you probably will have an
empty box, which can be used for
the purpose. Nail this to a tree so
that its top will be of a -convenient
height for the shortest lad in camp.
Form a towel rack at each end with
strips nailed to the box. These strips
should be long enough to project 5
inches or so. Xail strips across the
ends. Hang a mirror upon the tree
directly over the center of the box

To Overcome Redness,
Tan, Freckles, Wrinkles
If your skin is unduly reddened."
freckled or tanned, dab a little pure
mercolized wax on the face and allow
it to remain over night. When you
wash off the Wax in the morning, fine
flaky, almost invisible particles of
cuticle come with it. Repeating this
daily, the entire outer skin is absorb
ed, but so gradually, there's not the
slightest hurt or inconvenience. Even
the stubbornest freckles'are affected.
The underlying skin which forms the
new complexion is so fresh and youth
full-looking. you'll marvel at the trans
formation. It's the only thing known
to actually discard an aged, faded,
muddy or blotchy complexion. One
ounce of mercolized wax, procurable
at any drug store, is sufficient in most
cases.
If sun and wind make you squint
and frown, you're bound to cultivate
wrinkles and crow's feet. To overcome
these quickly, bathe the face in a so
lution made by dissolving an ounce
of powdered saxolite in a half pint
witch hazel.—-Adv.
