NEW PURE BUTTER CRUSADE Great Work of the New Department of Health Reflects Credit Upon the Administration. [Special Correspondence.! Philadelphia, Aug 8 Ths movement started at a meeting at West Chester, under the auspices of Pomono Orange, No. 3. ot Chester county, to bring about more satisfac tory legislation by congress far the protection of the pure butter and dairy interests of this and other stales, is one of far reaching significance. This action was taken after the reve lations made by Pure Food Commis sioner I)r. B. H. Warren in his prosecu tions growing out of the charge that oleomargarine colored as butter was being so!«l as butter to the United States navy. After consultation between the na tional and state authorities it waa de cided that action should be taken un der the Pennsylvania pure fsod laws because they were found to be far more stringent, comprehensive and sweeping than the federal statutes. The farmers and dairymen of Peim •ylvania will lead in the movement to have congress amend and strengthen the present statutes regarding the sale of oleomargarine. They will demand that the clause in the sixth section of the present statute which reads that every person who "knowingly" sells or offers for sale or delivers or niters to deliver any oleomargarine, etc., shall bo amended so that the word "know ingly" shall be stricken out. Then it will not be necessary to prove before a conviction can be had that the guilty i party "knowingly" violated the intent and spirit of the law. Farmers' Interests Protected. It is a matter of comment that the Republican party of Pennsylvania haa ■ always been jealous and deeply con siderate of the interests of the far mers and dairymen of this stale. Laws ; calculated to benefit the agricultural interests have beeen placed upon tha ; statute books and they have stood the test in the courts. Not only is this legislation carefully and properly | drafted, but the laws are enforced. The work of Secretary of Agriculture N. P. Crltchfleld and of Pure Food Commissioner Dr. B. H. Warren In protecting the farming interest of this commonwealth is one of the most grat ifying features of Governor Pennypack- ' er's administration. No other department has reflected more credit upon the state administra tion and upon the Republican party, j One of the pleasant experiences of the early campaign work by Chairman Wesley R. Andrews, of the Republican state committee, is the correspondence in reference to the feeling among the farmers and dairymen of the state. j Every agricultural district is reported i to be strongly in line with the Republi- j eau party. The dairymen are especially appreciative of the splendid work Uoing ; done to protect the butter interests of . the state and they confidently eount! upon the hearty co-operation of Sena- ' tors Penreso and Knox and every onn of the Republican members of the low er house of congress from this state in the movement to have the federal stat utes regarding the sale of oloomargar- , Ine made as stringent and satisfactory j as is the law passed by the Republican legislators of Pennsylvania and which ! Is enforced with unflinching rigor in ; every section and county of the com monwealth. Tli* Wider ftoal.

VALUE OF WIDE TIRES. The f««t of Tfautinat Oreiitl)' llotlue ed by Their Inc. Wide tires should be used on all j heavy vehicles which traverse stone roads, says the Kansas City Star. A six or seven inch macadam road will | last longer when wide tires are used | than a ten or twelve inch road of the | same material on which narrow tires ! lire used. From the limestone quarries at Split i Rock to the works of the reducing i company iu Geddes, Onondaga county, i N. V., is about four and one-half miles. J Three or four years ago the work of I improving Hii.< four and one-hall' mile-; ©f roadway w.ns accomplished. Rough 1 quarry refuse and for a part of the S distance field stones were used, all j j hand broken to two and three inch ! ! size*. This was covered with fine, tin- j I sifted quarry chips, and a crown was ; | given to the roadway with an elevation I of about six inches iu a width of six i teen feet. Wagons were built for haul | ing stone over this road with wide j tires and axles of different length, as follows: Front tire, seven-eighths of an i inch thick and four inches wide; dis | tanee between centers of front wheels, four feet five inches; the rear wheels had tires one inch thick and six inches ' wide, the distance between center of rear wheels being five feet eight inches.
