CATTLE MUST BE SLAUGHTERED It Is generally known that cattle for immed ate slaughter may be brought into Pransylvania without restrictions an inspection of the meat after slaught «r by Federal and State 1 nit pec battle for purposes other than s la ugh er are subject to certain restrictions, including a test for tubercua protection to the dairy and beef hei de of the State. The leniency thus si own to the slaughter cattle fade uas been abused by unscrupulous dealer* who import cattle for slaughter and aiua aruval divert them to other purposes, sometimes deceiv ing farmers into the i nded security that they are buying catile for their herds which have passed Federal and State inspection. Many tuberculosis in dairy herds are traceable to this practice To reduce this unlawful practice to a minimum, the Bureau of Animal Industry, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, in co-operation with the United States Bureau of Animal Industry, will enforce an amendment to the present regulations which will not interfere at all with the lawful importation of slaughter cattle; but will Impose a heavy penalty upon those violate the Intent of the Federal and State laws governing the interstate movements of all classes of cattle. The Federal law applies, not only to Pennsylvania, but to all other States. Under the new amendment, cattle >r immediate slaughter may brought into Pennsylvania without restrictions only when they are consigned to a point where Federal or Stale meat Inspection service is maintained or to other points designated by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Animal

Industry.

A list bis been Issued, containing th-: names of butchers ardealers who may receive slaughter cattle without

restrictions.

This list will be subject to frequent changes. Persons whose names do appear on the list must comply with Federal and State regulations governing interstate movements of cattle, or

FIN'D RUM EVIDENCE FROM 18th CENTURY

The United State* nas attained it* majority and is able to rank with the civllUed countries of tbe “old world” and of the east, now that archeloglcal explorations into the activities of It* first citizen* have been commence.! by the Pennsylvania Museum. Delving ha* been done In Salem County in South Jersey. From below the surface of what are now well-tlllej farms ha* been dug evidence that In the middle of the eighteenth century glass bottle* were made to be used for a beverage which at a later date in the nation's history was prohibite-1 by a measure known as the eighteenth amendment. Window panes and various fanciful creations slso of glass were made by these early denizens. From other source* has been obtained documentary evidence of a scheme for co-operative Industi> between workmen and capitalists which was put Into effect where today eucn things are only mentioned with bated

breath.

The digging was done by the Pennsylvania Museum, Memorial Hall, Falrmount Park, as part of a plan to establish the history of crafts and craftsmen of Philadelphia and Its vicinity. It was on the site of the old Wlstar glass works near AHoway. N. J, once known as Wlstarttown and later as Thompson's Bridge. More than 1000 fragments of bottle* and window panes were claimed for classification and exhibition examples of oarly American glass woric Glass making Is still an important New Jersey industry. Caspar Wlstar was the first socceasful glass manufacturer In tbe American colonies. He landed in Philadelphia about 203 years ago and is supposed to have oeen an Anstrian of noble lineage. One of hls first activities was to manufacture glass buttons "warranted for seven years," the fame of which continued long after hls death which occurred In 1751. He married Catherine Johnson, of Germantown a Quakeress, and joined the Society of

Friends.

By 1739 Wlstar had acquired about 2000 acres In Salem County , convenient to sand and fuel and not far from water transportation facilities In 1738 he had entered into an agreement with four grass workers from Holland to pay 50 pounds 8 shillings sterling the price of their passsge from Rotterdam, ar 1 that In return for their service in teaching him. hls son Richard and no one else the craft of glass making he was to provide land, fuel, servants, food and material for a glass factory and to give them one-third of the net profits of the enterprise. Richard continued the business after the death of hls father. In 1769 an advertisement showed that the establishment maJ'“ most any sort of "bottle* and window glass, lamp glasses, snuff and mustard bottles, also electrofying globes and tubes." Director Warner, in announcing th? results of the archeological labors of the museum, promises a detailed In vcstigatlon into the types of glass

which were produced in South Jersey and Pennsylvania. Several glass industries were commenced In various ports of the country, with more or less success, after the failure of the Virginia glass enterprise started at Jamestown in 1608 and revived about fourteen years later. The first to produce glass on a paying basis and to continue for a com Idi—ibl.- period of time was that of Caspar Wlstar. In the wills bearing on the enterprise there is mention only of window glass cut into three sizes, of case or "pocket battles" and the other containers of one quart, half gallon and one gallon sizes. Director Werner Is of the opinion that the little pitchers, glass toys and big milk bowls turned out at the work ■ were made from excess glass which was given to the workmen, or that at a later date than Is on record their manufacture was added to the regular business of the

plant

Bureau of Markets Extending Activities The Bureau of Markets. Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, har (ttfended its market reporting service throughout the State to such an extent that either complete or partial reports are now printed In 207 newspapers of the State, of which 52 are dallies and 115 are weeklies. In add! Uon. the report of the bureau covering the cattle markets of I-anraster county have been accepted as the official report of the Lancaster Union Stockyards. Among the other activities which the Bureau has taken over, an-: The addition of the daily reports of local and terminal wheat prices The publication of semi-weekly wholesale apple, peach and potato prices in the markets of the State. The establishment of a field station at Chamberaburg for the reporting of f. o. b. prices and condi tiona at shipping points on apples and peaches. Arrangements have also oeen com pleted to report the shipping point conditions and prices on grapes in Erie and North East and on potatoes at the principal. shipping points in Lehigh and Northhampton counties. Philosophy of A Cipher Consider the cipher. It amounts to nothing in itself, hut when put to work with others behind a good strong figure it adds wonderfully to the value of the group. But if a cipher puts ou airs and gets out in front of the procession. it becomes valueless again. Men might take a lesson and learn that their value lasts only as long as they stay on the Job.
