THE STRAWBERRY SEASON.
Shipments This Year Exceed All Previ-
Gus Records-Some Interesting Stat
istics of the Industry.

In a of the strawberry sea-
son in North Carolina, just closed,
the Carolina Fruit and Truckers
Journal" of Wilmington, says in its
issue of June 10th:
although of shorter duration
than last year, the season has been
an eminently satisfactory me to the
growers. Prices have ruled fairly
high throughout the season and the
returns would have been infinitely
better had the Pennsylvania Rail
road not fallen down so completely
on its Northern and Western deliv-
cries at the consuming end of the
line. Several markets, notably
Pittsburg and Buffalo, suffered con-
siderable loss by reason of the fall
ing off in receipts in those cities, the
direct result of poor and irregular
deliveries.
"The total number of refrigerator
cars shipped out of this territory
during the berry eason of 1904 ap-
proximates 2,217 car loads, against
1895 cars last year. Reduced to
crates the total number this year
.foots up 537,369 against 50O,362 in
1908 in refrigerator Jars.
"By the Southern Express Com
pany the total number of crates
shipped this season is 1900, which,
when added to the number shipped
by refrigerator, brings up the grand
total to 6Os,369 crates, against 49,
600 crates during the famous year
of 1903. The net average to the
growers per crate is about 50, and at
this rate it will be seen that more
than ~$1,216,738 have been returned
to this section and distributed
among the growers from the one
item of strawberries alone.
"The districts from which these
berries have moved might properl!
be styled the W. & W. section, be

the W. @. & A. section, between Viii

TIE MODERN NEWSPAPER.

: Speaking of newspapers, Editor
Hickey, of the Cleveland, o.. Press,
says:
"The first business Of every daily
newspaper is TO print the news.
"ln my judgment. there never was
D tine in the history of the American
newspaper business when the news
was printed as fairly and fearlessly
and with as little regard to the feel
ings Of rascsls in either high or low
places as it is today. / do not even
except the partisan newspapers, al
though admit that some Of them still
have room for improvement in this re-
gard.

10 urge any cause, however unworthy,
without loss OF prestige or diminution
OF fame; a physician has no concern
with the character Of the man for
whose health he labors. bat the editor
who turns the columns Of his paper
toward urging the wrong against the
right pays the penslty. He is
d marked man, and no brillianoy of
mind, no talent, however great, can
save him from failure. The wise edi-
Tor knows that in the end the pub
be IS the best pay master, and even this
sordid fact is of value in keeping the

Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.

Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied on 10 occur
TO at least one-half of the human family
unless means are taken tc prevent.
First, the climate Of winter Is sure 10
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured are
sure 20 cause catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated is
sure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function OF
the body. 1t is capable of destroying
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
1t pervades every part Of tho human
body, head, throat stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs,
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes-
timonials sent entirely unsolicited TO
DIR. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:

has catarrh Of any part Of the body TO
take Peruna. Ny little girl who Is
eleven years old had catarrh, but was
cured by Peruna- Before I began to
take Peruna I was sick all the time, but

The Iroquois inquiry begins to de-
veleop the fact apparently that no one
is to blame for the disaster. 1t is q
poor official who can't lay the results
of his transgressions at the door OF
somebody else. II seems there are sew
en- or eight different kinds Of inspect
ors who passed ON the theater build
ing, and each passed on only a certain
portion. One testified that the build
ing itself WAS so. K" while another
had passed only on the electrical APP
planes, another on the fire alarm,
adm SO on. The fire chief was expect
ed to pass on nothing except when no.
tilted that there was something on
which to pass, and ne was never noti-
fed. And so it goes. Ii is seen be-
tween the lines, however, that the
man who is to blame is the mayor,
whose failure to enforce the Law when
notified that none of the theaters in
Chicago complied with the ordinance,
was responsible for the fact that the
theater was open and filed with peo-
pie, 600 of whom lost their lives.
