4 "STAY ON FARM," GOVERNOR URGES BOYS AND GIRLS 100 Here as Judges; Every thing From Apples to Brin dle Pig at Big Show It started out mainly to be an apple show—the big exhibit being held at the Emerson-Brantingham building in • onnection with the ritate Board of Agriculture's meeting—but It has turned out to be the biggest exposi tion of farm products and implements ihe city has ever seen. Interest runs all the way from the finest aples in the world to a blue-eyed pig with iirindle markings, in the way of prod ucts and from a tiny motor garden i-ultivator to the new tractors that are going to add so much to farm < lops in Pennsylvania the coming summer. The history of the present gather ing will give farm boys and girls a lirominent place, for two-thirds of the visitors to-day crowded about the > oung lads who judge on corn and 1 he young girls who cooked and gave demonstrations of canning, preserv ing and other useful accomplish ments. About noon 100 of the boys, each with a garish badge of which ho was exceedingly proud, marched up meet the Governor, who seemed to bo much affected. "Stay on the farm, 1 oys," he urged earnestly. "That's where you are needed. He pointed out how the new school code gives one a chance to get a really good aducatlon while doing farm work. "Don't run away to work in some industry," he begged them. "You can help the nation more by sticking to the soil." Other speakers who helped enter tain and instruct the youth of Penn sylvania farmland were Dr. N. C. .Schaefter. state superintendent of ]>nblic instruction; Charles E. Patton, secretary of agriculture, and L. H. Dennis, chief of agricultural educa tion. The voting for a place to meet next spring was a warm contest for mem bers of the agricultural board. The I'.nal count was 18 for Lebanon, 15 for Williamsport and 11 for Bedford. To-day the farming energy of the entire state was concentrated in Harrisburg. Crowds of spectators flocked to the Emerson-Branting ham building where the State Horti cultural Association is holding its exhibit, the Hoard of Trade was filled top and bottom with members of the latter organization and of the Pennsylvania Breeders' and Dairy men's Association, and Cameron HalV entertained the men of the State Veterinary Medical Associa t'on. The State Board of Agricul ture was so chilled in Chestnut Street Hall yesterday that their president. Governor Brumbaugh, in vited the members to the House of Representatives for the rest of the session. At the election there Governor Brumbaugh was again choson to head the body. Vice-presidents selected were Matthew Rogers, of Mexico; A. G. McGowan, of Geyer's Mill, and S. C. George, West Leb anon. R. G. Wells, of Sugar Mills •was made secretary and the board decided to hold its spring meeting In Lebanon. Laymen Interested The State Horticultural Associa tion elected the folowing: President, P. H. Fassott, Meshoppen; vice president, P. S. Fenstermaker, Al- Jentown; George Kessler, Tyrone; Herbert Starkey, Bussletown; secre tary, H. F. Hershey, Gettysburg; and treasurer, Edward W. Thomas, who •was advised by some of the mem bers to change the name of hts town —King of Prussia. For the laymen the most interest ing of all meetings was the pro gram of demonstrations at the Emerson building where hundreds of.country boys and country girls, so red cheeked and wholesome that they would tempt a cannibal, were busy to-day showing Harrisburg ■what has been accomplished In the county farming schools. Here wore Ihe State College misses with the real eats on the table showing pre cisely what a child should be fed from one year to sixteen. Another table proved the value of nearly all common foods, showing their pro portions of nutritive elements. For example many a spectator was nmazed to learn that four lowly prunes are equal to two big bunches of celery, a goose egg, a wholo dish of fresh beans or one huge potato. Milk is the very best diet the State '"ollege women explained. A child Fills Stomach With New Energy Weak, Worn Out, Gassy, Sour Stomach Revived and Made to Enjoy Food With Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Most of us eat three times a day Rnd often forget that each meal should bo disposed of in tho stom ach to make room for the next. Tho failure of the stomach to do this is called indigestion or dys pepsia, with its sour risings, gas, rumblings, pains, depression and the feeling of stuffiness when breathing Is difficult. The most effective remedy and the Jnost reliable one, because you can set it at any drug store in the United States or Canada, is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, at 50 cents a l>ox. Instead of depriving yourself of food or going on a starvation diet simply, keep on as you have and let these tablets straighten out vour stomach, digest the food and keep you in the fight.

Judge Corn Exhibits The corn section was a busy place to-day, farmer boys judging for valuable prizes the sau.ples sent in from all over the state. For prizes in this clas the visitor could ogle three magnificent ewes, which were quite wonderful, but not so over whelming as the prize stock ffom State College. One of the officials of that school explained that the Pennsylvania farther is to be taught to cultivating more pigs and sheep. To this end they have on view the .last word in well-bred animals of this denomination. There is a brindle hog of mixed breed beauti ful enough to keep in anyone's par lor, and the one-year old sheep sug gest that farming this animal would be worth while. The farmer is being urged to graze his hogs in stead of feeding them on grain en tirely. Thus, for every 100 pounds of pork produced the owner can save 100 pounds of grain. Twenty-flve pigs can be raised successfully on less than one acre. The prizes awarded for growing potatoes were decided and giv'en out last night, as folows: Grand Champions, White Skin First, O. L.

Penrose Sees a Halt in Blanket Authority Formerly Given President Washington, Jan. 23.—Senator Penrose asserted yesterday that President Wilson had raised the di rect issue between Congress and the! country, as to whether the War De partment should be strengthened to win the war. In the course of an in terview he suggested that Congress would be slow in granting any fur ther blanket authority to the Presi dent and raised the question whether the parliamentary system of govern ment was not more responsive to the people. "Many are disposed to question the strange doctrine that has grown up," he said, "that we have a personal government in the United States. Mr. Wilson is represented personally, and not the American government of the people, by those he appoints for duty at home and abroad. "For several years many thought ful men, among them President Wil son, have studied the question whether the parliamentary system of government as it exists in England, France and Italy, is not more sus ceptible to prompt response to pub lic sentiment, and a better method of government, than the system of fixed tenure under the American Constitution. "X will not attempt to argue the question, however, because even un der the American system, while the process may be slower, the ultimate result is the same, and every one recognizes the great danger it would be to open up a general revision of the Constitution. "It la every year becoming more difficult to hold on to the guaran tees which we have, but there has been admittedly too much of a ten dency to go along fith the thought that Mr.. Wilson, or any one else who may be President, is the whole government. Such is not the fact, of course. The Senate and the House are Integral parts of the government Just as much as the President. Fre quently their functions are more im portant than this. Clearly, he ought to confer and co-operate with both branches of the legislative end of government and, through Congress, take the American public as far as possible into his confidence. "From now on it is not likely that appropriations will be granted without careful spervision, and that propositions looking toward the grant of extraordinary powers over commerce and industry are not like ly to be unchallenged. In fact, many members of Congress voted for measures already in existence un willingly, and contrary to their pri vate opinion. Models of legislation have been copied by bureaucrats from countries where conditions were ut terly different than here, and such lows are working out disastrously, as in the case of the fuel control which is being administered by a man without any previous knowledge of the coal business." Drifting Snow Is Feared by Trolley Officials The Harrisburg Railways Company has "kept three sweepers at work on their lines since 3 o'clock this morn ing, in order to prevent tleupa through drifting snow. The wind on the suburban districts is strong, and the danger of tieiy>s through drifting increased this morning. Thus far the suburban lines have not suffered a serious tieup through drifting. Lateness in city schedules to-day was due to the repeating blocking of the lines by motortrucks and coal wagons. Officials of the street iar line say that if the number of coal carts that block the lines is indicative of the coal supply, Harrisburg is well supplied. A coalwagon blocked all traffic on the Market street tracks this morning when It refused to move off the tracks for over three blocks. Street car company officials report that they will proceed against the coal companies whose drivers block the lines that way. Post 58, G. A. R., to Hold Memorial Service Post 58, Grand Army of the Repub lic, will hold its annual memorial service next Sunday afternoon In the Post Room at 26 North Third street.

"About Senator Stone?" he said. "His is worse'than a tactical blunder, lie opposed armed shipping legisla tion and was hardly in position to raise a question of opposition. From a patriotic viewpoint I think he has made a sorry mistake. From a par tisan viewpoint, I welcome the as sault. He has uttered his alleged in dictment. Nobody can deny tho Re publicans a defense. Up to Monday Republicans in the Senate, indeed in both branches, had submerged par tisan views and surrendered well cherished ideals of legislation to sup port the administration in order to fully support the nation. '"The violent partisan attack rends thai unity which has made possible everything the President has asked. It will not be so from this time on. I can speak only for myself, but X be lieve Republicans will hereafter sup port all war measures necessary, but will question further extraordinary and unprecedented grants of power. There will be criticism, not partisan?, but patriotic. Inefficiency and incapa city will be pointed out and correc tion sought. No public official will dwell in sancity hereafter because he is a part of the administration. Country llrst! Win the war! Save the Republic! Republicans will conse crate themselves to such a public servict, and criticise, oppose or sup port as their patriotic convictions Impel. _ "The split between Senator Cham berlain and the President? Well, Senator Chamberlain has been the stalwart spokesman of the adminis tration, with which he had been In political and patriotic sympathy. He commands highest esteem on both sides of the Senate. If I were bear ing a heavy load of responsibility I should want his cordial support. He is a patriot and an able Senator, and is strong to bring rather than to weaken efforts to offense and de fense.

NURSERYMEN IN ANNUAL SESSION Business Declared to Be Es sential to Natron During Time of War A score of prominent nurserymen met yesterday afternoon at the Har risburg Club in the annual conven tion of the Pennsylvania State Nur serymen's Association. The session was called in the early afternoon Dy the president, B. H. Farr, of Wyomissing. After review ing the work of the association dur ing the past year, Mr. Farr referred to the future of the nursery indus try. Among other things Mr. Farr said: "The nursery business, with n.any other Industries, is suffering because of the senseless suggestion that certain lines of trade are "non essential." No sane man will con sider the nursery business as non essential In the present struggle If he is careful to look Into the subject before making such a statement. Fruit of all kinds is a food of the highest value, but the supply of such food depends primarily on the nur seryman who must grow and fur nish the trees. Nor can America af ford at this time to overlook the value and necessity of planting shade trees, evergreens, flowering shrubs, the beautiful roses whose colors match the stripes of the flag; the irises, peonies, phlox, whoste blooms fiupply the fragrance and beauty needed to cheer and comfort those whose friends are engaged in grim war. The gardener needs the rest and relaxation that comes from an intimate association with all these growing things." To Protect Stock A proposed national law to pro hibit the importation of nursery stock was discussed at length. The contemplated bill is aimed to pre vent the entrance into the United States of the many serious plant dis eases and insect pests that are now prevalent in certain foreign coun tries. Some of the numerous seri ous pests that have entered Amer ica are the gypsy moths which are practi6ally destroying the elms of New England; the citrus canker which seriously menaces the orange and lemon groves of the western coast and the south; the San Jose seals which is found on all kinds of fruit trees. A new insect, known nti the "Green Beetle," has been found in this country during the three past years, and is supposed to have been brought here In the soil packed around the roots of plants imported from Japan. At the close of the routine busi ness Professor J. G. Sanderson, state entomologist, told the nurserymen of the work that his department is doing to control and destroy In jurious insects and fungus diseases that prey on fruit alhd ornamental trees and soft wooded plants. The members of the association are thor oughly in sympathy with Professor Sanders' work and expressed them selves as believing that he is accom plishing a great deal of good through his methods of dealing with the various subjects that go through his departments. The meeting adjourned in ' the early evening after electing the fol lowing officers: President, Adolf Muller, Norri'stown, Pa.; vice-presi dent, J. H.
