Science In Fruit CoIoring

Washington red apples are attracting
much attention at the great St. Louis
fair. Visitors notice the fruits because
of their bright colors, large size and
long keeping quality When other
apples of similar varieties are whitening
and losing Their brilliant luster the spec
linen on exhibition from this state re-
tain their plump form and perfect col
oring. They were produced for the
purpose of advertising the wonderful
soil and climatic possibilities of this
state. In that respect the exhibits
have accomplished the object sought,
and are splendid mediums of publicity.
The red apples were grown in some
orchards in the Yakima valley. They
are the product of irrigation and scien-
tific fertilization of the soil. Young
thrifty trees were selected and an eX-
pertinent conducted that has demon
strated what others might do in every
producing section of the Northwest.
The trees were fed on one of the essen
tial elements of plant food and kept in
perfect growing condition. Five
pounds of muriate of potash was spad-
ed into the soil at the roots of each tree
This made up the deficiency in soil fer
tility and enabled the tree to bring forth
more perfect specimens OF fruit.
The experiment is worth considerable
to every orchardist in the Norl Invest
1t is we'll known that the market de-
mands rich coloring in all fruits, If
a variety of red apples is put on the
market the specimens must be excep-
tionally red to command the highest
prices. The same rule applies to other
fruits designed for sale. Coloring is
one of the necessary points OF excellence
In addition to the color proper appli-
cation of plant food adds to the flavor
and general good quality of fruits.
The lesson is plain enough for every
fruit grower to understand.

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CON.
vENTION

The fact there would be but
one name placed before the re.
publican convention for the
chief magistracy, and that Theo-
dore Roosevelt would in effect
be unanimously nominated, made
it memorable as the least enthu-
siastic, and the tamest national
convention of any party that
ever met. Up to the last three or
four months there was some talk
of the monied interests opposing
him. The opposition from this
quarter probably only made his
nomination more certain and
unanimous. And if there was
any opposition to him from any
quarter, at the time of the meet
ing, in the republican party, it
was so hopelessly vain that it
did not show itself. The ripple
that was caused by the two or
three candidates for the vice.
presidency did not extend be-
yond the threshold of the con-
vention hall. Congressman Joe
Cannon, of Illinois, wisely pre-
ferred to be republican leader of
the House of Representatives to
being vice-president, and fatty
refused to allow himself to be
killed off by the fellow who
wants to represent his district
in congress.
The closing act in this polite
al play will take place on the
fourth day of November, when
Mr.. Roosevelt will be elected
with about as little opposition as
he was nominated.

Another week gone and no
fire. If this keeps up we shall
be soothing ourselves to sleep
with the thought that there
is no danger. We are
not unlike the Arkansawyer
who needed no house in a dry
time, and could not build one
while it rained. We need no fire
protection when there is no fire,
and while the fire burns we have
no time to build water works.

The American Highlanders.

Few people knew that there are auOut three millions of mountaineers in the Alleghanies and Cumberlands; and fewer realize that hundreds of thousands of them are practically without education or religion.
 These are not degenerate people, but are a brave, hardy, independent race of Scotch-Irish and Anglo-Saxon ancestry. There are no finer people naturally on the continent. In their inaccessible moun- tains they have simply been passed by.
 In 1897 a company of Christian men and women organized a mission to send the Gospel to these long-neglectcd High flanders. This mission began in 1898 with one missionary, who went to a county in the Cumberlands of Kentucky which did not have a single church in it, of any kind.
 In the past year they sent over eighty preachers and teachers to the mountains of Kentucky, Tennessee. North Carolina end Virginia These missionaries made over seven thousand visits to the homes of the poor, held 2,125 public services, taught 123 Sabbath schools, with 3,Hl pu- pills. A day schools with 775 pupils, had ever 800 confessions of faith, and gave away thousands of Bibles. books and tracts to the poor, besides some twenty five boxes and barrels of clothing.
 The Society has built and opened the Log College in the Cumberlands. 25 miles from any railroad, and 1t enrolled AZ students the first session It is build ing another college in the Great Smoky mountains of Tennessee and North Caro- lima. It publishes a monthly paper for the Hishlanders and their friends.
 During the last year 1t received over S10 GOO from people in all churches, and almost all countries. and never took collection from any church. It closed the year without owing a dollar, having paid every missionary at the end of every month.
 This is the American Inland Mission, popularly known as the Society Of Soul Winners, Its officers are:
 Rev. pr. Edward o. Guerrant, Will more, Ky, President
 Rev, pr. William c. Clark, Augusta, Ky, Vice-President.
 pr. Henry S. Crockett, Wilmore, Ky" Secretary.
 Major Robert S. Bullock, Lexington Ky, Treasurer.
 This work for our own countrymen ap- heals to every sentiment of religion ana patriotism. It deserves the help of every man and woman who loves God and his neighbor.

MAKING THE TWO PLATFORMS

This cabal consists of Senators Aldrich

This is a characteristic per formance, one wholly impossible in the Democratic Party. There Is Aldrich. the great schemer. the adroit manipu- lator, who has grown immensely wealthy in the Senate.

He is taken in as a lawyer retained by the defense.
 To speak of his caucus in this way Is not to speak idly. What, these men agree on will be accepted at Chicago. They will voice the consolidated special interests of the country and the smaller representatives there will cheerfully acquiesce in their conclusions The smaller fellows dare not break away, for though one industry may secure less plunder than a particular manu- facturer would like to have, men of this class shrink from endangering this little by quarreling with the big fellows who get more.
 The Democrats may well look on at the planning and scheming through which these Senators count on main- taining control of the Government for the benefit of their clients The Demo- cratic Party has no clients, unless the masses of the people be reckoned as such. They are against special priyi- leges. under any guise whatever, and while the Republicans are preparing once more to come forth with demands for the protected industries, they will find an opposition united and deter mined that every vestige of class legis- lation must be swept off the statute books. It needs no Senatorial cabal to frame their platform. This will be framed at St. Louis by the chosen rep resentatives of the people them selves.

FIRST SUMMER WEATHER.
Thermometer Registered as High 80
 Degrees Yesterday.


 Montgomery got its first experience of summer weather for the year yesterday. The thermometer during the day regis tered as high as S6 degrees.
 The effect of the hot weather was more noticeable in the latter half of the af- ternoon when the sidewalks around Court Square were thronged with people going to and from the parks about the city It seemed that nearly half the population of the city was possessed of a desire to leave the paved streets and flock to the suburbs for a sight of woodland spring and a breath of fresh air. The cars to Oak Park and Bloemfontaine were we'll filled. but the greater portion of the crowd was bound for Pickett Springs. A sacred concert was given at the Pickett Springs pavilion in the afternoon. At that time the grounds of the popular resort were packed with Sunday afternoon vis- itors. Every car going and coming from the park in the last half of the afternoon was filled to the running boards The cars were tested to their full capacity although the company had doubled the usual daily equipment.
