SEED POTATOES
They Grow Better—They Yield Better
My Seed Potatoes are grown especially tor me in the State of
Maine by one of the most widely-known Seed Potato specialists In |
the country. Every year we receive many carloads of this high- j
yielding stock direct from his Seed Potato Farms In sealed cars.
Not & hand touches them until they reach us. By actual test
made by many potato growers in every section of Pennsylvania,
these high-yielding Seed Potatoes have produced from two to
three times as many bushels to the acre or baskets to the row as
home-grown stock will produce under the same conditions.
WE PAY MORE FOR THEM than ordinary planting potatoes
would cost—they are worth more—and it will PAY YOU WELL,
as It does hundreds of others In bigger crops, to plant
Shell's High Yielding Seed Potatoes
Mr. George Smith, Harrisbnrg R. D. 4, market gardener, says:
"Never again will I plant my own potatoes. I planted what I got j
from you alongside of my own of the same variety and gave them
| the same attention, yet the plants of yours were much stronger j
I and healthier, and produoed THREE times as many potatoes."
Denlson Bros., JD&uphin, said: "We honestly believed that our i
i own potatoes, very carefully selected, would yield as many
bushels to the acre as your Maine seed potatoes, and two years
ago w planted them side by side to prove them—we must
acknowledge yours produced two bnshels to every on* bushel
our own produced. Now we plant all yours."
George Davis, market gardener, says: "I am convinced by
actual test that It pays to pay the price and plant your MAINE
GROWN SEED POTATOES. Planted side by side, in the same !
Held on the same day, cultivated and sprayed in the same way.
yours produced nine baskets to the row and mine only three." '

COMPENSATION
BILLS IN HAND
Attorney General Drafts a
Bill Which it is Hoped to
Make Basis for Changes
Four bills making radical changes
in the State workmen's compensa-,
tion laws were presented to the
Senate just before it adjourned for
the week by Senator Frank A. Smith,
Dauphin. One of them is a meas
ure drafted by Attorney General
William I. Schaffer after consulta
tion with employers and employes
and various persons Interested, 1
which has been olfered as a basis i
for an agreement. The joint com
mittee, named three weeks ago to
consider suggested amendments, ■
failed to reach any agreement. Mr. I
Schaffer said that the bill was given
to Mr. Smith to present so that some
thing would bo at hand upon which
to work.
The bill provides for an increase
in the rate of compensation from
fifty to sixty per cent of wages; cuts
the waiting period from fourteen
days to ten; provides for payments
to dependents under certain regu-
JaUons; wipes out distinction be
tween major and minor operations;
makes tho period of free medical
attendance thirty days instead of
fourteen, and establishes a limit of
SIOO in addition to hospital charges,
operations to be at prevailing rates
and makes a number of other
changes.
A second bill reorganizes the
Bureau of Compensation, but does
not make it a separate department.
The third bill provides the pro
posed system of rehabilitation which
has been outlined by Chairman
Harry A. Mackey.
The fourth bill establishes a two
per cent tax oh self insurers, the tax
to bo based upon the premium that
would have been charged against
the pay roll in case insurance pol
icies were taken out.

New York, May B.—The steel trade
is taking only a mild interest in the
meeting of Railroad Administration
representatives, with the steel mak

That a $2 concession on rails would

once refused by the rail mills, with
an accompanying exhibit of costs, and
to-day, witli output still falling, over
head, as the producers may show on
Thursday, has brought costs up
higher.
If this week's meeting can only
bring the cutting of the knot and
