JUDGE TREXLER
IS CANDIDATE
LEHIGH COUNTY MAN RECEIV
ING ENCOURAGEMENT FROM
ALL PARTIES
In addition to a state senator and gov
ernor. voters of Pennsylvania this fall
are callod upon to elect a judge of the
Superior Court. This court stands be
tween the County and the Supreme Courts
of Pennsylvania; and was created in order
to bear some of the enormous burden
that was falling on the shoulders of the
members of the Supreme Court.
.ludge Frank M. Trexler of Lehigh
County, appointed to fill the unexpired
term of Gen. James A. Beaver, is a candi
date for election to the bench: and senti
ment seems to be preponderantly in his
favor. Judge Trexlor was one of four
candidates in the spring primary, and al
though his name was fourth on the ballot.
0 ving to the alphabetical arrangement of
names of candidates on the non-partisan
ballot, he ran so far ahead of his com
petitors that for a time it appeared as
though the election would not go past the
primary, .ludge Trexler seemingly having
nrnre than enough votes to elect him then.
He carried 47 of the 07 counties of the
state.
The Lehigh County jurist seems to be
particularly fitted for this place, inasmuch
!,.< during the 11 years he was on the
County bench lie was upheld by
the higher courts in 90 per cent, of his
decisions.
What is the Non-partisan Ballot?
Voters by this time are getting accus
tomed to the non-partisan ballot, used in
Pennsylvania in electing judges and the
government of third class cities. On this
ballot uo party is given, the candidates
being arranged alphabetically on the bal
lot. In the primarv election the voter is
given the party ballot he calls for and a
non-partisan ballot. He must vote both
to register his choice. In the fall election
the non-partisan ballot is printed on the
regular ballot. The voter must mark his
choice in the non-partisan column as well
as the rest of the ballot. Voting a straight
party ticket does not vote for a judgeship
candidate. For instance, to vote for Frank
M. Trexler of Lehigh County for the Supe
rior Court judgeship this fall it is neces
sary to place an "X" in the square after
his name.
The Courts of Pennsylvania
The Supreme Court is the highest in
Pennsylvania. Next to it—and in some
matters of equal importance—comes the
Superior Court.
The office of Judge of the Superior
Court is a lofty and dignified one. but
voters must be careful not to confound ii
with the Supreme Cour'.
The difference between the Supreme
and Superior Courts, brieflv. is this: The
Superior Court receives all criminal busi
ness i,with one exception): public road
cases, and all matters involving a stun of
money less than sl7>oo.
The Superior Court is the same court for
which ludge John \Y. Kcphar; of Cambria
County made his famous run-last fall.
The Supreme Court has jurisdiction in
al! where the amount involved is
ever Si' X); and in case? of murder in the
1 .-*! degree.
Judge Frank M Trexler of Lehigh
C >un»v. one of the two candidates for the
> vr C<»urt. w:»« judg* of the Lehigh
( mty Courts for 11 years; and was ap
pointed to the Superior Court to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Gen.

SAI EKKRAUT MIST MOVE
Too Ripe for City Action. So State Is
Called on to Aid
Heading. Pa.. Oct. 31.—A problem
which confronted the city's health de- j
partment yesterday, although it in
volves nothing more nor less than 57'
barrels of sauerkraut in a cold storage
plan:. must be referred to the State
Department for solution.
In March, IS 13. a local firm, which
has gone out of business, bought the
" barrels of perfectly good saner
krSut, such as is made in rural Berks
county, and had it stored. It was never
taken out and has iong since spoiled
and become so odoriferous that itsj
smell almost permeates through the ce
ment and ground tunnel in which it has
been place.l.
Thy «auerkraut cannot be carted
sway as garbage; hogs wouldn't eat it:
it can't be thrown into the river or on
tue dump, so it is up to the combine 1
efforts of the city and the State Health
Bepartments to find a way to dispose
of it.

If Care of the Plants Is Not Taken
Now Jack Frost Will Ruin Many
Valuable Flowers That Can Be
Saved
Washington. D. C.. Oct. 31. —When
•Jack Frost ims visited the garden ati<l
checked or blighted the vegetation" the
flower lover will consider what shall
be >lone tor the various plants ami
shrubs, Jack Frost usually makes him
self decidedly evident in the vicinity
of Washington about the tirst of No
! vemher, but farther north his arrival
may be expected earlier. Different
i ;»nts demand different treatment. 3ueli
flowers a* peonies and hollyhocks will
I'onip up again the following year it
[they are properly protected during the
winter, while others like cannas an I
dahlias, which are more accustomed to
warmer climes. must have their root
or bulbs dug up and stored in a cel
lar. At this season many inquiries
come to the I'nited states Department
of Agriculture regarding the treatment
needed b\ different plants, and the De
partment's specialists have given the
following suggestions regarding some
of them:
Hardy Perennials
Hardv perennials that arc expected
| to live through the winter, should be
I covered w ; tti a good coating of manure
ior other litter to a depth of three or
four indies. This in more southern lo
calities will hold the frost in the
ground during the winter and keep the
plant fron alternately freezing and
thawing: in more northern regions the
manure will keep the plant from freer,
iug to so great a depth that its water
supply wo Id be cut off and the "I nt
would perish. This treatment is goo l
for peonies, larkspur, hollyhocks, col
umbines, ris. pa.ty odoues, aud poreu
n;al poppies.
Cannas, Dahlias, Etc.
Vs soon as the tops of cannas. dah
iias. gla. iolas. caladiums. and similar
plants are killed by the frost, the roots
or buibs should be dug and store.i in a
cellar, where the temperature will re
main about 55 degrees and should nev
' er go below 50 degrees or above tilt de
grees. No more earth should be shak
en from the lumps of cannas and dah
1 as than s necessary to remove them
! from the ground. The plants may be
place,1 on racks or in slat boxes so the
: a.r may i .reulate freely through them
No frost must reach the roots, nor must
they become too warm or dry.
With bulbous plants, such as calaji
urns, gladiolas. tuberoses, it is desir
able to remove all the soil and dry them
in the open air a day or two before
storing.
The killed tops of all vegetation may
well be removed from one's flower be i:
after .la. Krost has visited them. This
is merely for the sake of appearance
as it has nothing to do with makin.
the garden more successful the couiiiu
season.
How to Protect Pansies
If nansies are expected to do wel
hi the "ninth they must be set out it
the fall, and lieei the protection o!
manure as do the perennials. In th<
South, pansies make the best showinj
,in the eariv »priug, aud later in th.
; summer are'burnt up by the hot sun
North of the region from New Yorl
• ity to Springfield, Illinois, pansies di
better if set out iu t.he spring than i:
planted in the fall, for in these region
th dowers will not be affected by tin
strong sunlight and they should bios
som all summer.
Carrying Geraniums Over Winter
The ordinary method of carrvin;
geraniums oi er the winter as used b'
tlorists is as follows;
A few vigorous voting plants are ta
ken iuto conservatory or greenhousi
and cuttings are taken from these dur
L,g the winter from which a new sup
• p'n- of plants is growu for spring use
Tiie cuttings for the spring supph
shouli not be made later than January
if good stocky plants are desired foi
the next summer's use.
The ordinary householder who de
sires to keep his or her plants through
the winter is not usually the posse»soi
of a conservatory where he can follow
the method outlined above. The 10l
lowing suggestions may help him tc
keep a part of his geraniums, at least
throughout the winter season. Before
the frost has killed the plants, dig up
the geraniums and place them iu a -00 l
damp cellar. This cellar should be
cooler than that in which bulbs art
kept, ranging in temperature from 4 0
degrees to 50 degrees t in other words,
such a cellar as is suitable for storing
potatoes,
The plants may be placed in deep
boxes, standing up and packed close to
gether with a little dry soil about the
roots. Geraniums are also sometimes
hung up by the roots on the wall or
irom the joists. In spring, the tops of
these plants should be cut off within
two or three inches of the ground and
the roots again planted. A loss of half
the plants is to be anticipated in fol
lowing this procedure.

PLAN IMPROVEMENTS AND !
ADDITION TO HOSPITAL!
Board of Managers Ask State for Mon
ey for New Operating Room—Many
Other Changes at Institution Con
templated
Litenor improvements and additional,
equipment are planned by the board of
managers of the Hnrrisburg hospital
for that institution to tlie extent of
$9,;>00. application for that amount
having been made to the State Board
of I haritie' in addition to a request
for $.<0,0000 for maintenance, to cover j
a period of two vears.
Charles A. Lindblad, Superintendent:
of the hcs; tal, yesterday made public
the contemplated improvements for
which ;he additional appropriation has
been asked, lie said:
"Twenty live hundred dollars of it
will be used m tiling lavatories and dis
fens;irics. to make them sanitary, doinj
sway with the i d woolen tloors and
wainscoting; $2,500 wilt be used in j
i i»n a new operating room. The!
; eseut operating room of this hospital
is as good as any in the State, but it j
is inadequate for our needs, as all op
orations must ye done in fhe same room.'
The new room will be tiled, equipped !
with all necessary instruments and fur-I
nishiugs and be thoroughly up to date. I
"' Another $2.,>00 will be used in in '
statlliug new laundry machinery. The j
present machinery has been in use
twelve years and in that time rhe hos j
I ital has almost doubled in size and ,
the uiachiuery is inadequate: $2,000.!
making up the amount, will be used in ;
making the building tirproof by adding j
tire doors . n recommendations of in
spectors or the state Department of'
Labor and industry.
•• \\ t are asking for additional main I
tenaiue money this time, the same j
amount we asked for two vears ago. I
but which was pared down by the Leg- i
isiature and then by the Governor until j
we go; $40,000. If it had not been!
for liberal donations during the two I
years the hospital would show a deficit j
of almost 15.000 a year, and I think 1
we are j.istitiesl in asking tor that
nmout add tional each year, making our
request $50,000 to cover two years.
We are doing more charity work than
formerly and the high cost of living
has added to the expense of running!
the hospital."
Hospital olliians have upper.red be
tore the Stat' 1 Hoard of Charities and
explained the requests. They will be
acted upon at the next session of the
General Assembly.
