BUTTER, BUTTER !
Who's Got the Butter
Worthy of a Prize ?
WILL WAYNE COUNTY TRY FOR IT?
The Winners in the Pennsylvania
lluttcr Contest for the Second
Year The Object and Plan
of the Annual Compe
tition. The second year's Educational
Butter Contest, conducted by .The
Pennsylvania State College, was
completed with the "February scor
ing. .More interest was shown this
year than last. Most of the con
testants want the work continued
and many new ones wish to take
part next year.
State College furnishes the press
off the State with the following re
p'ort and information as to the rules
governing the contests. We call
the attention of Wayne county
creamery and farm butter makers
to the fact that no time is to be
lost if they wish to enter in the
competition this year.
, O. D. Jlott, of Edinburg, made
the highest average score for the
year and won the silver cup. Ten
others who took part each time will
share a pro rata fund. The follow
ing sent each time and all have an
excellent average, when we con
sider the quality of the cream that
some were obliged to take during
the warm months:
Cooley, L. H., Burlington, 92.66
Davis, D. H., Meshoppen, 30.66
Dean, V. R., Rushboro, 91.33
Gabler & Son, B. P., Greensboro
92.25
Marshall, W. D., Lyndell, 91.00
Matthews, A. H., New York, 91.41
Mott, O. D., Edinburg, 93.66
Nlerlng, Theo., Wapwallopen, 90.08
Reynolds, P. V., Mainesburg, 91.41
Saxton, H. W., Granville Summit
91.33
Wivel, E. C, Fulton House, 92.00
The plan of the test was for the
college to send a live-pound tub and
an entry blank to every butter
maker and dairy farmer in the state
who wanted to take part. The col
lege furnished the tub and paid the
express both ways on the package,
the butter being sold to pay this
expense. The contests were held
the latter part of each alternate
month, making six for the year.
The butter was judged at the differ
ent contests by the following:
.Mr. P. H. Kleffer, manager of
the butter department of Glide
Bros., New York City; B. D. White,
of the Dairy Division, Washington,
D. C.j C. W. Fryhofer, federal but
ter Inspector at New York City; C.
W. Larsen and F. P. Knoll, of
State College.
The butter was scored, samples
were taken for analysis, and the
score together with the moisture
content of the butter was sent" to
each contestant. Each butter-maker
was asked to iill out a blank giv
ing the method used in making the
sample. These blanks were careful
ly examined and suggestions were
sent each contestant.
The object of the contest was to
stimulate interest in butter-making,
to improve the quality of Pennsyl
vania butter and to serve as a
means of studying the water con
tent and overrun of our butter.
Another contest open to cream
ery and farm butter-makers will be
hold this year under the same gen
eral plan. The iirst of these tests
will be April 29th. All wishing to
take part should write H. E. Van
Norman, State Gollege, at once for
tub and entry blank. Don't fail to
give both postoillce and express
olllce.
Mouto Carlo Girls.
Lively musical comedy is the at
traction at the Lyric for Tuesday,
April 20, and the Monte Carlo
Girls will supply tho bill. The or
ganization is far from being u now
one In the field, and has been, com
ing to the largest cities under the
same management for years. For
this seasons' engagement tho com
pany will present everything new
nnd up-to-date. Tho girls (of which
tho show Is mostly composed) aro
pretty, tho costumes handsome, tho
singing good, tho dancing line.
There are 25 peoplo in the cast In
cluding a number of high class
vaudcxlllo specialties. For tho
musical comedy lovers thoro aro two
now up-to-date second acts, both
of which glvo tho comedians plenty
of opportunity for fun, which they
taker full advnntago of. Tho girls
havo lots of good gingery singing
and dancing mini hers interspersed.
Vmong thoso who will assist in
keeping up tho fun aro: Golden and
Collins, musical artists of merit;
Mary Mnrtln, operatic soprano;
Sarah Herbert; Sullivan nnd Burns,
dainty sonbrettcB; Jack II. Suttor,
tho man with tho volco; Murphy
and Smith. This attraction is per
sonally guaranteed by tho local
manager to bo a good, clean show.
Therefore, ladle3 are especially In
vited to attend this performance.

Harper's Bazar.
Tlio People n ml t tin tiiP. ,
In n lecture upon his chosen art, re
cently delivered at Harvard, .Mr. Per
cy MacKaye, u successful dramatist,
pleaded for popular encouragement to
the writers of plays. He held that
the dramatist's true Incentive Is the
public gathered In front of the foot
lights or at least the multitude who
may be reached throu'i a play. He
would have the appreciative theater
goers support the genius who enter
tains them by "a slap on the back.."
Mr. MacKaye seems to forget that the
manager always takes toll on public
appreciation at the box ofllcc.
But n recent scathing editorial in
Collier's Weekly poiuts out that the
people have no chance to approve of
the playwright's work and that the
genius for whom Mr. MacKaye pleads
must llrst suit the whim or the greed
of the manager. There is no freedom
in the theater, says the editor, because
the head of the "booking trust" dic
tates what the playgolug public shall
see. A citizen cannot choose u play to
sec as he chooses the magazine or
newspaper to read. The stage sprang
from the people to meet a human
want. It must get back to the old
plane before dramatist and public can
work out its destiny face to face.

Tho Mystery of Lost Children.
There was nothing extravagant in
the terror which the AVhltla kidnaping
generated iu the minds of parents.
Instances are frequently coming to
light where young men and women
who were stolen from home twenty or
thirty years ago are restored to
friends. The Charlie Ross abduction
mystery remains unsolved. There is
at least one person now living who
has long believed that ho is Charlie
Ross. Several who entertained sim
ilar belief have died.
Ross, the father, devoted over twen
i ty years to the scorch for his son and
I expended an immense sum in tho vain
quest. A ransom of $20,000 was asked
by the abductors, and it is generally
believed that the child died suddenly
before his keepers offered to nego
tiate. During his long search for his
boy Mr. Ross followed up many false
, clews,' and it is probable that for years
to come there will bo claims made by
i men whose parentage and early career
, nrc a mystery, to themselves nnd to
, their present associates.

Mrs. Morse Aids Husband
Magazine For Blind People
Woman's Rights In Sweden
Mrs. Charles W. Morse, wife of the
New York banker whoso fortune has
been dissipated in the lengthy and ex
pensive legal proceedings incident to
his conviction and sentence to fifteen
years' imprisonment, from which lie
took an appeal, on which he is now
waiting for the decision of the appel
late court, has disposed of many of her
jewels in order to procure money
which will be devoted to whatever ex
pense may grow out of further legal
proceedings against Mr. Morse. Mrs.
Morse has also announced that the
home of her husband in a fashionable
part of Fifth avenue, In New York,
will lie disposed of. All personal prop
erty iu connection with the home will
also be sold to the cud that Mr. Morse
una. cnAnt,ES w. morse.
may have the best legal assistance
that can be obtained.
Before her husband became involved
in ids present difficulties Mrs. Morse
was surrounded by all that wealth
could command. A year ago she had
seven servants. Now she has one.
Not only have her jewels been sold,
but she has disposed of her sables, sil
ver, china, paintings and many arti
cles of household furniture. In one
Instance she sold a pin that cost over
.?4,000 for .ft.noo to meet the bill of a
stenographer, which amounted to more
than .$2,000, because Mrs. Morse had
promised that part of the bill should
be paid on a certain day. Since Mr.
Morse's incarceration his wife has been
unremitting to him in such attentions
as she is permitted to offer. One of
these attentions is that of furnish
ing her husband his meals from the
outside. In taking the step siio has
Mrs. Morse has of course given up all
social affairs, and she says she hps
done nothing which nny wife should
not do when her husband is in trouble.
A Magazine For the Blind.
Mrs. William Zlegler of Now York
city is the owner and publisher of a
magazine devoted to the interests of
tho blind. The publication has been
in existence for two years. It goes
free each month to every blind per
son In the United States and Canada
who can read any of tho two types In
which It is printed. Mrs. Zlegler main
tains her magazine entirely at her own
cost, which is about $20,000 a year.
Eight blind girls aro employed, among
others, in the assembling of the sheets
of tho magazine after they have been
printed. The printing is done ou
moistened paper from brass plates,
and tho proofreading of these plates
Is done entirely by blind people. Not
long ago prizes were offered for the
best three stories that could bo writ
ten by any of the magazine's blind
readers. Two of these stories were
won by New England blind people.
Tho magazine expects shortly to open
a literary bureau through which will
be examined all articles sent in by
blind peoplo, returning such as are
unavailable and attempting to find a
sale for tho same in the magazines of
the day for better stories. Many of
tho blind in this country after 'they
have road their magazines send thorn
to tho blind In the English speaking
countries of Europe.
Women In Sweden.
Long before there was any woman's
rights agitation women were voting In
Sweden. They havo had a vote hi
church matters, school suffrage and
the municipal vote slnco tho seven
teenth century. In 1802 these privi
leges were formally ratified Into law.
In lflOS women were made eligible to
municipal office. Tho universal 'suf
frage measure enacted into law Feb.
Ill' secured virtlng rights to all Inhab
itants over twenty-four years of age,
but previous to lis adoption tho wo
men of Sweden were already voting on
equal terms with their brothers for all
offices except members of the second
chamber of th6 riksdag. Women serve
on school boards, boards of guardians
of tho poor and parochial boards. They
aro admitted to the postol service nnd
ore appointed postmasters and head
clerks at tho same salaries as men. In
tho railway service, which in Sweden
Is controlled by tho state, women havo
been employed slnco 1800 In the con
trolling offlce, ticket department, etc.
They also act as clerks In tho tele
graph service of thb government nnd
nro almost exclusively employed In tho
telephono service,

Cofarabus Day.
Tho action of tho New York legisla
ture In establishing a new legal holi
day on Oct. 12 in honor of Columbus
is severely criticised outside of the
state as making a bad precedent. The
example is likely to be followed by
other states where the Italian element
Is strong, The Italians in this coun
try have been in the habit of celebrat
ing Sept. 20 in memory of the entry of
national troops into Rome. Columbus
day will be an American holiday, and
with the co-operation of the natives
the sons of Italy living here may
eventually give greater prominence to
Oct. 12 than to the September date.
Should the example of New York
bo extensively followed it may bo well
for Americans to direct tho celebra
tions and keep American Ideals to the
front. Other nationalities in the new
world are equally inclined with us to
honor the memory of Columbus. If
the movement to commemorate Oct.
12 shall become national, or nearly so,
International co-operation could be in
vited, to the end that the homage will
be offered to Columbus, the discoverer,
rather than CJplumbus, the Italian.
Perhaps royalty favors flying ma
chines In the hope of having an air
line of escape from bomb throwers.
Those separate cars for women
struck New York a bit too lato to be
nicknamed "Merry Widow" cars.
' Kidnaping is one infant Industry
which no party of the people will ever
offer to protect.
But "Dixie" has enough life in it to
even make a peace Inquest go some.

CITIZEN'S 5 MILE RACE
How to Train.
For all who may contemplate entering
this race, the following suggestions
are important:
Long walks and slow jogging should
always be given a course of training for
distant running. Whenever a difficulty
in breathing is felt, the athlete should
walk until his powers of respiration have
recovered. He should never sit or stand
around uncovered, but as soon ns his
work is done, cover up warmly until an
opportunity to be rubbed down is given
him, and then dry, warm clothes should
follow.
While running, the athlete should stop
just as Foon as lie feels a pain in his side,
or the front part of his lower 'leg be
comes sore.
The diet should be simple, sleep abun
dant. Omit tobacco, all alcoholic liquors,
tea, coffee, pickles, pastry, dumplings
and the like.
The time to start to prepare for the
run is now. Do not wait, but pitch in
and get the winter's stiffness out of the
muscles.
