able of being securely locked in clos-

Seven indictments Against
Vance C. McCormick.
[Editorial by Harry M. Chalfant in
‘‘American Issue,’’ official organ of
Pennsylvania Anti-Saloon League.|
It is a settled fact that our Demo-
cratic brethren are getting in shape
for a battle royal between this and
May 18th, to determine who shall be
their candidate for governor. Several
montt 0 announcements were
made toa. VM hael J. Ryan, of Phila-
| delphia, would be a candidate, and a
vigorous campaign has been launched
on his behalf. Numerous other Dem-
ocrats had been suggested to compete
with Mr. Ryan for the honor, when
very suddenly and unexpectedly the
announcement came that his oppo-
nent would be Vance C. McCormick,
of Harrisburg. Now, within a few
days after that announcement, there
is a great flurry among that portion
of the Democrats who advocate
booze. The cause of the turmoil
seems to be the advent of this man
McCormick into the race.
The brewers and their allies make
seven allegations against the afore-
said McCormick, and in addition to
that, they utter a few other words
that Uncle Sam does not permit us to
publish in a paper which goes through
the mails The seven indictments
| against McCormick may be stated
| briefly as follows:
' 1. As executor of an estate, he con-
| trols the ‘‘Commonwealth,” a dry
hotel at Harrisburg, and that city’s
most popular hostelry. The charge
against McCormick is that he refuses
to lease the hotel without a clause in
the article of agreement preventing
the lessor from applying for license or
dispensing booze in any way on the
hotel property.
2. McCormick served one term as
Mayor of Iiirrisburg. He promised
the people, ii elected, that he would
put the lid «:. and hold it tight. He
kept his yromise. The liquor and
gambling d. . ctees were dead sore on
him, but Le 1. as relentless, and sat on
able a locking device to secure athe lid to tlic closing hour of his ad-
closure in position on the can until ministration

FAST MILKING BY MACHINES
Problem Is Long Way From Being Sat-
Isfactorily Solved—High Class
of Help Is Necessary.
The problem of milking by means of
machines “is still a long way from be-
ing solved, but we are much nearer
the goal than five years ago, or even
a year ago, says the Farm and Fire-
side,
The New York experiment station
has announced the result of a milking
machine experiment which covered a
period of four years. The experiments
show that, including the time required
to get the machines ready and to wash
them after milking, cows can be milk-
ed by machine in 3.86 minutes to the
Low, as compared: with seven minutes
for hand milking. A higher class of
help is, however, necessary to milk by
machinery.
For dairies of less than fifteen cows
the use of machines was considered
unprofitable and not to be recommend-
‘‘Patriot,”” the most widely read Dem-
ocratic daily in the state outside of
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh For
many years the ‘‘Patriot’’ has through
ite editorial columns persistently ad-
vocated local option and other laws
by which tie people would be given
greater pow ei in the control and over-
throw of the liquor business.
4. The ‘'Patriot’’ refuses to accept
or publish liquor advertisements.
5. In the campaign of 1910, Mc-
Cormick refused to support the Dem-
ocratic nominee, Webster Grimm, be-
cause he had been nominated at the
behest of Penrose, Mulvihill, Guffey,
Hall, McNichol,
notorious bi-partisan liquor gangsters.
Brennan and other
McCormiek threw his personal influ-
ence and that of his paper to Berry,
the local option candidate.
6. McCormick then led off in a
fight to reorganize the Democratic
party and eliminate the old bi-partisan
liquor bunch.
This fight was success-
ed. ful, and left Guffey, Brennan, Hall.

the interest in machine milking. Pres-
ent day developments indicate that
best results are obtained by the inter-
mittent suction principle, but we look
for the time when milking machines
will be cheaper and simpler. The
cream separator of today is about one-
fourth as large as one of equal capaci-
ty twenty years ago. A similar sim-
plification may be true with milking
machines.
SELECTING BREED FOR DAIRY
One Best Adapted for Prevailing Con-
ditions Should be Preferred—
: Things to Consider,
In selecting a dairy breed it is not
a matter of which is the best breed,
but the one best suited for prevailing
conditions. Select with a view to
adaptability and for the purpose for
which the animal is kept. Some breeds
are noted for the quantity of milk they
produce; others for the richness of
their milk; others for the color of
cream or butter. All these things
must be taken into consideration be-
fore selecting a breed. Of the dairy
breeds the Holstein has a number of
high producing animals. They point
with pride to such animals as Colan-
tha IV Johanna with a record of over
1,100 pounds of butter in the
vear, and the alte queen of
the dairy world, Banastii®= Belle De
Kol, with a record of over 1,300
pounds of butter in 365 days. The
Jersey has Jacoba Irene, the Guern-
sey, Dolly Dimple, and the Ayrshire,
Netherhall Brownie, all of which were
a credit to théir respective breeds.

‘“The charity worker,’”’ says one of

Thus, apropos of the affectation of

Itching Irritation.
Worst Form of Skin Trouble Quickly
Relieved by Inexpensiye Treat-
ment.
When you suffer with any skin
trouble, even though the itching
seems unbearable, do not think that
it is necessary to use some disgust-
ing, greasy ointment. Try Hokara,
a pure and simple cream that is
guaranteed to contain no grease or
acids and which is so cleanly that
it does not soil the linen.
Its power to instantly relieve any
irritation of the skin and make it
soft, white and beautiful is almost
miraculous.
Not only do minor skin troubles
like pimples, blackheads, acne, bar-
ber’s itch, ete., quickly disappear,
but the worst ulcers or cases of salt
rheum or eczema are cleansed and
nealed by this wonderful skin food.

Pretty collars, ‘to be worn on
blouses as well as outside the coats,
are geen now in the shops and few
are so intricate that they cannot be
fashioned by the girl with a taste
for needlework who wants to look
well but can’t afford high prices.
The upstanding frills tacked in-
side low collars are very dainty and
a charming finish to .the bare neck
under a coat. The frillings are quite
cheap now, and you can buy them
aswide or as narrow as you wish.
An attractive round collar to "=
worn with a Dutch necked blouse
can be made of a quarter of a
yard of fine batiste. One seen
recently was in the shape of a cres-
cent moon, and the pointed ends’
and one side tnat were laid down on
the back of the blouse ‘were em-

nothing more, but so carefully and
beautifully embroideried that the
stitches fairly melted together.
