GET THE BEST.

When you pay out your good
money you of course want the beet
of what you are purchasing. When
you want an auctioneer to sell your
goods you should secure the SER
vices of the best, because the sue
cess of sale depends altogether
on the salesman.
VIM. T. Hartley, the boss auc.
tioneer, officiated at nearly 100
sales last season and everyone of
them was grand success.
Mr.. Hartley has had experience;
he has the confidence of the buy
ing and selling public and that is
the reason he leads in his line of
business.
Now, remember, If you are going
to have a sale, see WIN. T. Hartley,
leave all the details in his charge
and your sale will be successful.
The NEWS office rather knocks
them all out on sale bills, horse
bills and fine job printing. We
would like to have the farmers COM
pare our sale bills with those
printed at other offices. We not
only have the type and material,
but we get in the artistic touches
cross roads printers do not possess.
There are lots of better printers
than we in the printing business
and some of them may be George
Washington's, but the farmer who
wants sale bill or jack diploma
does not care for patriotism, moral
ity or the sunbeam sort of christi
anity. He wants good, wholesome
artistic work in clear type, white
paper good ink and skillfully dis
played. And that's the sort of work
we do at the NEWS office.

In a general way it may be said
that so far as outward appearances
are concerned the slough of des-.
pond' and the valley of despair"
in any great commercial seaport or
lakeport having stream large
enough to float the shipping of the
place, naturally take their geographi-
cal form in accordance with the
sinuosities of that stream. This is
true of Chicago, except as to that
district known as the city's great re-
tail center. To the southwest from
this business district the heavy water
of the river flows through an I'M
formed region of factories, lumber
yards, and railroad property and
touches at dingy docks where coal,
grain, lumber and machinery are
loaded and unloaded. In the clay
OUT of this territory there is abso-
lutely no system. Considered from
the point of view of the railroad
the land is cut into numerous and
varied geometrical figures by the vari-
Gus rights of way. To the pedes-
trian, who cannot disregard the river
in his rambles as do the steam giants
of the railroads, the situation is still
further complicated, and all the more
is this true because the streets twist
about at the craziest of angles to
suit the convenience of the steam
roads, the river, the great lumber
yard labyrinths and the irregular
vided for.

recent years been grown in CONNER
cial quantities of magnitude. For
merly small family orchards of so or
100 trees were the average planting.
The apple was then grown more for
family use than for commercial pur-
poses. But the vast progress and de-
velopment of apple culture in area
covered, the quantity and quality of
product, together with the increased
demand for home use and expectation,
now places this industry in the front
rank of commercial resources. In
stead of orchards of 100 trees we now
find orchards of hundreds and even
thousands of acres each, and capital in
large amounts is being invested an
but for extensive export to foreign
countries in fresh and cured forms.
The magnitude of the crop has become
such that houses and storerooms, re-
frigerators, eyaporators and places
for expressing the juice have been
constructed at all points in fruit re-
gions required for economic DISPOSE
ton of crops.
Although the apple may be grown
over very wide range of country
more or less suited to it's cultivation,
there are certain districts especially
adapted to its successful growth. For
instance, the elevated portion of
kansas, known as the Ozark region,
and the elevated portions of North
Carolina and Virginia, where similar
conditions exist, are striking exam
pies. The New England, middle and
some, of the western states are espe-
ciany favorable for producing fine
crops of this fruit of highest quality,
and certain sections of Idaho, Colo
RADIO, Oregon and Washington are
rapidly coming to the front in sue
cessful orcharding. Indeed, there is
not state in the union in which the
apple, in some of its varieties, may not
be successfully grown. In addition to
soil and climate the proximity to
transportation by railroads and water
routes is an important consideration
in locating an orchard for commercial
purposes.
The financial success of a CONNER
cial apple orchard depends largely
upon the methods used in picking,
sorting, packing and disposing of the
crops. These operations involve a
large share of the expense of the en-
terprise; hence the owner should
carefully study and investigate the
most recent and economical methods
in practice by others before he adopts

shown here, the coloring being a be-
coming shade of blue mounted on silk
of the same color and the trimming
consisting chiefly of numerous frills
edged with fine black lace in dainty
garland design, above which there are
several rows of similar lace of vary
ing widths which are carried right up
to the waist. The tops of the sleeves
are transparent, and belt of black
ribbon velvet and bow in front of
the bodice give the finishing touches
to this smart little gown.
The other pretty frock is made of
ivory-white spotted chiffon embroid-
cred all over in scroll design, and has
deep frill of lace at the bottom of
the skirt, which is ornamented with
tiny gathered ruches of narrow satin
ribbon. The bodice has ficl1u of en-
broidered chiffon, arranged in graceful
folds round the shoulders, and below
this is frill of lace to match that on
the skirt with bretelles of black rib
bon velvet narrowly ruched with white
satin ribbon.

mans boat appeared and that diff
Guilty was solved. Soon we were
across the murky water and / found
myself amidst hugh lumber piles that
doomed up on every hand; and two
or three belated workmen whom
saw seemed good to look at in that
labyrinth of dark hiding places. But
the road was plain enough and time
brought me to the edge of that
desert of commerce; and there I saw
bright archlights, row of saloons,
"a street car in the distance, and still
beyond that the great glare of light
and concourse of people that de-
noted the carnival. Long festoons of
incandescent lights caught in the
middle hung over the street; and
from a grand triumphal arch, the
tops of which served as band stand,
came strains of lively music.
Passing down the long vista of
lights (and evergreen hangings) in
the favored district of the carnival
/ became one of the crowd of Ameri-
cans. They had not always been
Americans; they had been Bohe-
mians, Germans, Poles, Jews, and-they
now spoke mixed dialect. A great
babel went up to heaven. The women
all wore shawls and only the younger
generation wore hats; and those of
the men who smoked, smoked pipes,
and only smart boys smoked ciga-
rettes or cigars. Yet children and
young people were in the majority.

The old adage, Honesty is the best
policy" will apply in this case. No
imperfect, unsound or blemished fruit
should be allowed in the first-class No.
1 grade. The grading should be uni
form. Any small specimens, as we'll as
diversified ones, detract from the ap-
pearance of the whole lot in the pack
age. The standard size should be an,
average of the variety when we'll
grown; to be first-class it should be
in regular form, free from fungus
disease, and of clear color, to become
attractive in the market. If the sort
ing and grading is honestly and faith
fully done there will be no difficulty
in finding ready paying market for
first-class winter apples.
1t is quite a common practice among
many extensive orchardists to sell
their entire crop of apples while on the
trees, the purchaser doing all the
work of picking, sorting and packing.
When the proprietor possesses suffi-
GENTLY good judgment to be able>to
closely approximate safe valuation
of the crop, and fair price is offered,
this is an economical and satisfactory
way of disposing of crop, as there is
much hard, veXatious work, and more
or less risk to run in gathering, pack
ing and handling of the crop. But in
case the owner chooses to handle his
crop, an immediate sale, as soon as it
is barreled and ready for the market,
is considered the safest and surest
way to dispose of it. The holding over
for better price in future is more or
less risky, and oftentimes results in
loss from shrinkage and sometimes
the necessity of resorting and pack
ing, which would require more of an
advance in the market price to make
the loss good than often occurs.
All of the crop left after asserting
out the No. 1 and No. 2 grades should
be classed and treated as culls, and
sold to evaporating and canning es-
Establishments or to cidar makers, I'M
less the owner has all the facilities at
hand for working them up. For ex-
tensive orchards the profits on the by
products will justify the expenditure
for buildings and machinery neces-
sary for working them up. In some
instances the by-products of the or
chard have been known to exceed in
value returned the receipts from the
main crop. Of course, such were ex-
ceptional cases. 1t is also true that
no permanent profit ever comes to the
producer who would compel his good
fruit to sell his culls for him.

any. II the crops are rightly handled
there will be no difficulty in finding a
ready market for choice first-class
winter apples.
All fruit must be carefully hand
picked, avoiding bruising or breaking
of the skin or straining of the stem
at its juncture with the apple, for a
loosening of the stem at its base will
induce rot to set in as quickly as the
breaking of the skin. Some orchard
1stsuse for picking receptacle a con-
venient sized basket, lined or padded
to avoid bruising, with an adjustable
bale, so as to allow the fruit to be
carefully dumped in piles under the
shade of trees. To the piles barrels
are hauled and distributed for pack
ing, and gang of sorters and packers
follow, sorting and packing the fruit
into barrels.
The time for picking the apple must
be determined by it's maturity or
stage of ripeness, and not by any par
ticular date. Some varieties Should be-
picked much earlier than others, for
upon the stage of maturity and time
of picking depend largely the keeping
quality of the apple Sometimes diff
ference of one or two weeks in date
of picking will show marked differ
ence in keeping. If the apple is left on
the trees after it is fully matured the
ripening process will go ON more rap
idly than if taken off and placed in a
cool room or cellar or taken at once to
cold storage. 1t is better to be on the.
safe side and pick the fruit little be-
fore maturity rathen than to leave it
until overripe. The common practice
of allowing the fruit to remain in
heaps under the trees for several days
is mistake. The sooner the apple is
removed after picking to the cool cell
lar or to cool storage the better will
it keep.
Careful and systematic sorting is an.
important matter in handling fruit

center of the street and the pro-
fessor had disappeared. When next
seen he appeared over the high corn
ice of building dressed in pale pink
tights balancing a long pole. He was
greeted with cheer upon cheer and
soon was well saddled upon his pro-
fessorship, or his professorship upon
him. Trying his rope first with a
few gymnastic evolutions over the
sidewalk he then walked boldly

trated chances of thousands of eyes.

Suddenly the pink figure was the
center of shower of fireworks. This
was the grand. finale and the carnival
was at an end. The people surged
down the street and scattered for
home; and as for me, I went home
by different route than I had come.

with little regard for what other por-
tions of the city may be doing. Bust
ness men on Blue Island avenue in
the vicinity of Eighteenth street
yearly club together and have a
street carnival that has come to be
the great annual street demonstra-
ton of the whole foreign district;
and doubtless it does much to keep
alive the general notion in the neigh
beyond Blue Island avenue for any
of life's necessities.
The answer to the question: What
is the great foreign district like?
depends upon the point of view. 1t
is perhaps unfortunate for the resi-
dents that it's physical aspect coin
cides SO closely with that of the
factory district, for in undiscerning
eyes the whole neighborhood is one
hopeless picture of commercial grim
ness. And such my first experiences
on that Saturday evening might have
led me to believe was true, for un-
fortunately / miscalculated my route,
and before l was aware of it I found
myself in wilderness of factories.
1t was dusk and sheets of flame be-
gan to leap skyward from the cupo-
las of dozen rolling mills. Retreat
was shut off by long freight train,
which had pulled across the road.
From every direction came the ring
ing of bells and the changing of
whistles. Green and red lights
twinkled on the switches and head
lights threw their searching
chances down the tracks. The only
building at hand was mean saloon

velvet buttons, and, at the other, by
long-looped ends of the ribbon, which
is eventually drawn over the brim and
round the crown, where it fastens in
front with long curved buckle of cut
steel.
Very quaint is hat of pale blue
beaver felt, whose brim is edged with
white kid and rolled up high at either
side, its attempt to meet above the
crown being assisted by the
decorative presence of three cross
ing bands of black velvet rib
bon and half "a dozen velvet-cov-
cred buttons. For the rest the trim
ming consists of band of black vel
vet drawn through long steel buckle
in front of the crown and finishing off
at the back in quaint little bow.
Another, made of pure white zibeline
felt, the crown encircled with band

then with a narrow rouleau of velvet,
and finally with band of gray zibe-

trasted fabrics disappearing at the
back beneath two great fiat rosettes
of the green suede, cut out to simulate
countless flower petals, and each CEN
tered with a cleaning emerald. And

broad quilts, quantity fashioned of the
gray zibeline, and conferred with other
and natural quilts of green feathers

NWNX found in almost every
- country that has a tenn
- perate climate. No other.
fruit succeeds over SO wide a
range of territory and under such
diversified climatic conditions, and no
the grower in proportion to time and
money expended upon its production.
With proper selection of varieties, To-
cation of soil, and subsequent intelli
gent management, there can be but
little risk in planting the apple, which
is now no longer luxury, but sta
pie article of food.
There is scarcely any limit to the
choice varieties to select from, begin
ming with the early ripening Yellow
Transparent, Early Harvest, Red June,
Early Joe, Maiden Blush, etc., through
the list of fall, early winter and late
keeping varieties, including the lus-
cious Pearmain, Rambo, Dyer, Grimes,
Jonathan, Spitzenbergs, Yellow New
town, etc. Indeed, so wide is the range
of season of the apple that it is the
only fruit of the temperate climates
that may be obtained and enjoyed in
its natural state throughout the year.
It's period of usefulness is being ex-
tended through modern methods of
storage, and with rapidly increasing
facilities for its transportation, it's
commercial value is greatly enhanced.
From hygienic standpoint the APP
pie has but few rivals among cult
waited fruits. It's mild and pleasant
acid is panacea for many of the ills
that the human race is heir to. What
fruit can be more pleasant to the pal
ate or more beautiful to the eye than
the rich ripe Golden Pippin when
plucked fresh from the tree, or what
more luscious when cooked?

decorated portion of the street and
well bred faces peered out at the
sights, but little notice was taken of
them; but when a meat wagon man
conveyed the carcass of a calf into
meat market there was attention
and much good natured joking and
pushing there. During the evening
l glanced upward and noticed in the
suspicious sky at that hour that the
moon hung upon the meridian of the
street and star or two dropped
away in such a manner as to suggest
on grander scale counterpart to
one of the light festoons below:
Thinking only of the foreign jargon
one heard and the curious names over
the stores which one saw, there was
humor in the carnival for a Yankee
American. The most modern of cleo
trio light signs told over and over
again in colors red and white and
blue that Mr.. Schwitzner or Mr..
Dvorak sold goods the best and other
signs further down gave the hint
that Mr.. Novothy or Mr.. V. Kobzina
might be found within.
The patience of the watchers in the
street was at last rewarded by the
