    PENROSE WILL
ATTACK SCOTT
Senator Says That He Will
Discuss the Congressman;
Beidleman Favored
Senator Boies Penrose yesterday
followed up his announcement of
opposition to the Lieutenant Gov
ernor aspirations of Congressman
John R. K. Scott, of Philadelphia, by
endorsing Senator E. E. Beidleman,
of this city, and announcing that he
would take the stump against Scott.
The Public Ledger says of it to
day: "A fight to the finish for state
control of the Republican organiza
tion, with the candidacy of Repre
sentative John R. K. Scott for the
nomination for Lieutenant Governor
as the objective of attack, was pro
jected yesterday by Senator Penrose
and up-state leaders with him."
The North American, which is bit
terly opposed to Scott, says: "Sena
tor Penrose yesterday indorsed the
candidacy of State Senator Edward
E. Beidleman, of Harrisburg, who
announced himself Monday as a
candidate against Scott. I expect Mr.
Beidleman to make an aggressive
fight and be nominated with great
case," Senator Penrose said yester
day. "In fact, a good many people
think Mr. Scott will not be pressed
as a candidate. Later on as the cam
paign develops, I expect to have
more to say, but now I am content to
let the situation develop. As far as
my duties in Washington permit, I
will pay visits to different parts of
the state, and already I have some
tentative engagements. How far X
will go through the state will depend
on conditions at Washington and the
developments of the campaign. I
will advocate Mr. Beidleman's nomi
nation and will show the weaknesses
of Mr. Scott as a candidate."
Speaking editorially the Philadel
phia Bulletin says: "The announce
ment of Senator Beidleman, of Dau
phin county, that he is a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Lieutenant Governor Is the opening
signal for a general contest in the
state over this office between the
Penrose men, aa supporters of Bei
dleman, and the Vare-Brumhaugh
forces as backers of John R. K.
Scott. The opposition to Scott is by
ho means based solely on factional
grounds. Many Republicans em
phatically oppose him because they
do not consider him personally as a
type of man who should occupy this
office, with the possibility that an un
expected vacancy might make him
Governor of Pennsylvania."
Isadore Stern, a Penrose adherent,
who was a member of the House in
1917 and who was here yesterday,
said: "I am in this campaign to
show up John R. K. Soott. I can
tell the people many things that
have not been made public about his
law practice and other things they
ought to know about a man who
wants to be Lieutenant Governor and
chairman of the Board of Pardons.
I have the goods."
Immediately upon return of Con
gressman Vare from the South, a
meeting of the Philadelphia Repub
lican City Committee will be called
and the Vares' slate will then be an
nounced after the leaders counsel
with the ward workers and chair
man. "The only issue at question

STATE SAVING
FARMERS'MONEY
Tractors Are of Real Service
to the Raisers of Corn
and Vegetables
Men connected with the State De
partment of Agriculture, figure out
that the commonwealth will save
the farmers of Pennsylvania many
thousands of dollars, and at the same
time do their plowing for them with
out much trouble or labor, by means
of the trabtors, which have gone in
to service in some sections.
A statement issued by the depart
ment says:
"The tractors will be sent into
nearly.every county in the state and
will go especially to those localities
where they are needed to insure
large corn and oats acreages. The
charge for tractor service has been
placed at three dollars per acre for
plowing and one dollar and a half
per acre for discing and sixty cents
an acre for harrowing. The costs
cover all expenses Incidental to the
■work, but the farmer in addition to
paying the acreage fee, must board
and lodge the operators while they
are engaged at work on their farm.
"Many applications for tractor
service have been received by Sec
retary of Agriculture, Charles E.
Patton and ho has been receiving
hearty co-operation from the Coun- 1
ty Farm Bureau Agents, who are
assisting in mapping out the itiner
aries of the tractors in their respec
ts e counties. In order to get a
tractor in any specific district it is
necessary to have enough farmers
combine to contract for at least 120
acres of work. Little trouble has
been experienced in this detail, as
there seems to be an overwhelming
demand for assistance in plowing
this year.
"It is estimated that the tractors
will average twelve acres of plowing
a day or 480 acres for the forty trac
tors. It Is also figured that there
will be sixty full working days in
which work can be done in prepar
ing the soil for the season's crops
and that in that time 28,800 acres
will be prepared. Most of the work
will be done in counties where there
are big corn yields and It Is estimat
ed that the fields prepared by the
tractors will yield at least a million
and half bushels of corn with a
value at present prices of $2,750,-
000.00.
"To accomplish the same amount
of work that the forty tractors and
eighty operators will do it is esti
mated that it would take three hun
dred and twenty farmers using nine
hundred and sixty horses steadily
for sixty days.
"When the spring plowing is done
the tractors will be turned to help
ing with the harvest and in prepar
ing the fields for the crops of winter
wheat and rye. It is expected that
the tractors will be kept busy dur
ing the entire summer and late into
the fall. Farmers desiring service
should get in touch with Secretary
Patton or their county farm bureau
agent at once."
is whether Sproul or O'Nell will be
supported by the Vares. All indi
cations are that Sproul will be fa
vored," says the Public Ledger.
FEWER WOMEN ON
STATE'S FARMS
Interesting Figures Compiled

of Agriculture
TTH Two thousand

farm workers. It
'*? estimated that about 19,700 out of
the 217,000 farmers in Pennsylvania
had female household help at the
close of 1917.
The inquiry by the department is
not complete as regards the number
of men and boys employed on farms,
but tho fact is apparent, says the
bulletin, that the scarcity of farm
help has not only affected the work
in the fields, but the household as
well, in some counties whole fam
ilies are working in the fields.
The figures compiled by the de
partment indicate that female
household help on the farm received
wages amounting to over $4,100,000
last year.
The department has issued a bul
letin, urging farmers to raise honey
as the normal price hav been dou
bled and immense orders have been
placed in this country for European
shipment. "The 1917 crop is all taken
at this date" says the bulletin, who
points to large profits.

Arrival of One American
in France Was Censored
Paris, March 27. —This is a true
stcry of the censor censored.
A young American newspaperman
—let's call him Mr. Lahsram, since
officers' names are forbidden men
tion—came to Belgium in the early
days of the war with Hoover and
did excellent work there. He mar
ried a pretty American girl last
winter, and entered the Army. I-le
received a lieutenant's commission
and was detailed to the censorship
in Paris, where his wife lives with
him.
The other day a baby appeared—
their first—and Lieutenant Lahsram,
father and censor, hurried to the
American censorship's cable office to
inform his parents in Kansas City
about it. He wrote this message:
"Job Lahsram arrived safely 3
o'clock this morning."
The clerk saluted. He was re
spectful but flrjn.
"I'm very sorry, sir," he said, "but
I can't send this. As one of the
censors, you must know that we have
a rule forbidding the transmission of
any message announcing the arrival
of Americans in France."

Cured His RUPTURE
I was badly ruptured while lifting
a. trunk several years ago. Doctors
■aid my only hope of cure was an
operation. Trusses did me no good.
Finally 1 got hold of something that
quickly and completely cured me.
Years have passed and the ruptura
has never returned, although I am
doing hard work as a carpenter.
There was no operation, no lost time,
no trouble. I nave 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. 3511>
Mnrcellus Avenue, Manasquan, N. J.
Better cut out this notice and show It
to any others who are ruptured—you
may save a life or at least stop the
misery of rupture and the worry and
danger of an operation.
