Oranges Cheap

Yesterday we went over to the
Ford & Co.'S. Commission house
to buy oranges. They had them.
Different varieties, and wanted
to sell them bad. They wanted
to get out of the orange business
and we wanted TO get further in.
We are in and now want to get
out, and have placed these oran-
ges at 10 cents a dozen in order
to do so.
We've got 'em, all kinds and
they'er good, and if you'll buy
some you'll buy more of some
and some more of some Of the
same kind than you can buy at
some other places, for the same
money.

declared that foreign syndicates had
secured every available railroad con-
cession or business enterprise in China
from the government. and the greed
of the German, British, French and
other foreign operators has brought
about industrial revolution in that
country. If the Chinese had the spir
it of the men of 'T6 there would not

Three Problems of Importance.
Rev. +. f. Chivers, ID. D., of New
York, was the principal speaker at the
home mission meeting in Grace Meth
odist Episcopal church, his subject be-
ing "Leavening the Nation" Chivers
said in part: Among the questions
of absorbing interest to our political
and religious world is the negro prob
lem. The only difference Is in the
point of view. The question must be
climaxed very soon, for the negro is
100000 strong in America and rap
luly increasing. VI SJllI more import
anee, perhaps, is the Mormon ques-
ton. MormOnism Is not dying out, as
many people of the east believe. On
the contrary statistics show an in
crease of $4,000 in the last decade.
A third question is the old one Of what
shall we do with the Indian? If mis-

throughout their country the Indian
could be made Il useful member of So
ciety, instead of an encumbrance on
