GEORGE B. MELLOTT
Hon. George B. Mellott is well known to almost every voter in
this county, as a successful farmer and business man, and as a faith
lul representative in tbe last General Assembly of t'ne State.
At no time during the sessions of the term which he served in
the Legislature did he neglect his post of duty, and as proof of his
record ot how closely ho applied himself to business, and how he
voted on all bills, he respectfully refers any and all to the legislative
records at Ilarrisburg.
In asking for your vote at the coming election, Mr. Mellott is
gladly answering all inquiries as to how ho stands. He makes no
pretence to carry favor by givmg evasive replies as to how he will
vote on certain bills that are expected to come before the Legislature.
Particular stress is laid upon the necessity of returning him to
the next sessions by reason of the fact that the election of Hon.
Vance C. McCormick for governor is practically assured, and, in
order that the reforms that Mr. McCormick stands for may be car
ried out, it will be absolutely necessary that legislators, who are in
full sympathy with Mr. McCormick, be elected. Mr. Mellott is
standing by Mr. McCormick on all vital questions concerning the
moral and industrial welfare of the State, and all know how Mr.
McCormick stands. When McCormick was mayor of Ilarrisburg
he cleaned up that city as never before; he gave every cent of his
salaryto benevolence while mayor;he h now fighting for the cleans
ing of the whole Stato. Mr. Mellott fully believes in the rule of
the people, and he will be better able to work to that end during a
second term, to which he respectfully asks your support at the elec
tion on Movember 3rd.
A Great Scheme.
Some of us may live to see the
rich soil that i3 now being wash
ed to the sea brought back again
along with that from otherlands,
and made to again enrich our
worn-out fields.
Students of economics have re
peatedly warned that some day
the fertility of the earth will be
exhausted and the human race
perish for lack of food. Atten
tion is being given by construc
tive thinkers, however, to the
problem of finding somewhere an
inexhaustible store of fertilizer
with which to restore plant food
to the soil. According to an ar
ticle in the September Popular
Mechanics Magazine, the latest
suggestion is that the Sargasso
Sea, that strange marine meadow
of interlaced sea plants covering
a vast area in mid-Atlantic be
tween the Antilles, the Azores,
and Cape Verde, may be made to
renew the vitality of; the farm
lands of all the world.
The algae and various other
forms of water vegetation which
abound in the Sargasso Sea are
rich in nitrogen, phosphoric acid,
potassium and magnesium sul
phate, essential constituents of
plant life. Besides this the sea
weeds contain sodium, chlorine,
iodine, and other materials bene
fical to certain crops, and cellu
lose in quantities estimated to be
greater than that obtainable from
the combined forests of Scandi
navia, Russia, and Canada. All
these salts and substances have
been washed into the sea from
the land, the volume of such
waste increasing annually and
rapidly.
In spite of all that has been
said about there being no ships
to carry it,, millions of dollars
wortn oi iooa stuns are going
from this country to Europe to
feed the soldiers. Our factories
are being deluged with orders
foa wagons, blankets, tenting
material, tent stoves, and manu
factured articles of every descrip
tion. The men that made these
things in Europe are fighting in
the army, and they must look to
Amerida for supplies.
Rev. J. V. Royer is suffering
from a sty on his left eye.
