PENNSYLVANIA HAS A STATE PRIMARY

Penrose 'Wins Republican Nomination for Senator in First Primary Held in State.

Philadelphia, May 19.—Pennsylvania today for the first time, hold primaries to choose candidates for U. S. senator, governor, justice of the supreme court, as well as for other offices, congress and the legislature. Although fair weather prevailed, tie vote was 'light. /Boies Penrose won the republican nomination for senator and Martin G. Brumbaugh, practically was unopposed as the republican candidate for governor. On the democratic 'ticket Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer was selected as the party candidate for senator, defeating Henry Budd, of Philadelphia. Gifford Pinchot was unopposed for the Washington-progressive nomination for senator. There was an unusually warm contest for the democratic nomination for governor between James McCormick, of Harrisburg, and Michael Ryan, city solicitor of Philadelphia. William Draper Lewis, dean of the University of Pennsylvania law school, had no opposition for the Washington party nomination for governor. Judge Robert Frazer, Of Allegheny county, who had the 'support of the republican organization and Judge 'Gustav A. Endlich, democrat, of Berks county, whom the democrats largely supported, were the successful candidates for supreme court on the non-partisan ballot. One is to be elected in November. For judge of the superior court, also on the non-partisan ballot, Judge Frank M. Trexler, of Allentown, present judge, was nominated by republicans. Thomas J. Prather, of Crawford county, iwas supported, by the democrats, and it is believed he will be Judge Trexler’s opponent.

HOME TOWN HELPS

PROTECTS THE GROWING TREE

Concrete Box Io Ornamental and May Be Removed When No Longer Necessary.

To protect growing trees with some degree of permanency, the use of concrete has been adopted, reinforced by steel bars and rings, a singularly pleasing design, resulting. The concrete tree box lends itself readily to decorative features, and color may be introduced to harmonize with foli-

age or house coloring. When the tree outgrows its narrow bos, it is no great matter to remove the concrete and release the steel bars. While the first cost is somewhat higher than a good wooden box, the lasting qualities of the concrete make it worth while. —Popular Mechanics.

TIME TO THINK OF BEAUTY

Department of Agriculture Gives Good Advice on a Most Important Subject.

The appropriate use of trees, shrubs, vines, and herbaceous plants In the adornment of city, village, suburban, or country home grounds gives a charm and beauty which are interesting and pleasipg to the passer-by as well as to the occupant of the home, says the U. 8. department of agriculture. Plants are a means of expressing * restfulness and beauty. Their gradually changing aspect with the succession of the seasons heightens their pleasing effect and relieves monotony. The changes which occur in the life of vegetation during the year have caused man to speak of the stages .of human existence as the "spring,” "summer," and "autumn” of life. The leaf, the branch, and the flower, as well as the general form of the plant, manifest a grace and beauty which art endeavors to copy. While art cannot take the place of nature, it nevertheless plays an Important part in teaching us to see and appreciate the beauties of nature. Man should first provide for his necessities, then for comforts, and finally for pleasures. In a new country such as ours, the expenditure of time and means for the adornment of grounds has naturally received too little attention. The people have been necessarily concerned with acquiring lands and buildings. But a stage of development has now been reached when Americans should give more attention to the embellishment of their home grounds.

Street Cleanliness.

Perhaps the most striking difference , noticed by the American tourist abroad between American and European cities is the cleanness of the streets of the latter, particularly in such places as Berlin and Dresden.

Clean streets, as the term is understood abroad, are unknown in the cities of the United States. The dirtiness of our streets both in summer and winter, with their clouds of dust charged with disease germs and filth of all kinds, makes walking almost intolerable and imposes on storekeepers and housekeepers a burden of cleaning that is far more expensive In the aggregate than would be the proper and systematic cleaning of the streets.

Only when the streets are locally flushed can the conditions of our streets be compared with those abroad, where street cleanliness is one of the first principles of city administration

We want every farmer and man that gives their shoes rough wear, to wear them in, or (bring them to bur store, and use Leather Life It costs you nothing and they wear twice as long. Remember, it is free. G. E. Murray Co.
