BE CAREFUL
About
THE COUPONS.

Contestants for The Times
free trips to the St. Louis Expo
sition should remember that there
are two distinct contests, one for
Government employees and the
other for people not so engaged.
One class cannot use the coupons
OF the other.
This fact seems TO have been
lost sight Of by several contest
ants, who have sent in both kinds
Of coupons. In the case Of Gov
eminent employees the coupons
they have sent in which are for
the use Of people not employed
by the Government have been
deducted from the number sent,
and likewise In the case of peo-
pie not in the Government ser
vice. who have sent in coupons
which are for the use of Govern
ment employees only. Both cou-
pons are distinctly marked, and
with a little care there should not
be any difficulty in Distinguishing
between them.
Contestants are reminded to
send in only the coupons desig-
mated for the class In which they
are competitors.

TREES GROWN IN COLORADO
Successful Results of Experiments Car
RED on by NurseIyman of
Glenwood Springs.

GLENwOCD SPRINGS. Col. March
16.-After experimenting for several
years. John F. Spencer. Of Grand
Junction. Col. an old nurseryman and
fruit grower has succeeded in perfect
ing a seedless apple
The new fruit very much resembles
the seedless oranges in that the meat
is solid and there is a slightly hard sub
stance i'm the navel end. The trees
have no blossoms, and for this reason
no termination takes place and seeds
are impossible
Spencer says he began experimenting
with the apple shortly after the seed
less orange was placed on the market.
he reasoned that if it was possible 10
destroy termination in the orange it
was possible to destroy it in the apple.
Produced Fine Trees.
Originally he produced five trees that
would bear seedless apples. and next
experimental to see if he could make
the buds reproduce others
Succeeding in this, he secured forty
additional trees. From these he has
buded 200 more, and his seedless ap-
pie is now assured.
Spencer has kept his experiments to
himself for all these years. and now re-
fuses to divulge his secret. He has
sent some Of his apples to the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington for
examination
In addition TO avoiding seeds. Mr.
Spencer claims that many diseases
which now follow the laying OF eggs
by moths in the apple blossoms will
be avoided.

one hundred more young FiHpinos
are TO be selected in a few weeks for

Bureau Of Insular Affairs is now max
ing arrangements for the examinations
by means Of which Government agents
in the Philippines shall choose the
young natives to be brought TO this
country
The young natives whom the Gov
c~umenl brought To the United States
six months ago are getting along nicely
In southern California schools. Reports
submitted by the teachers TO whom they
were iutTuSted are encouraging, and
the Bureau Of Insular Affairs is conf
dent the plan of educating Filipinos in
the United States will result in a great
Improvement Of all departments Of the
insular government.
In California First.
Plans for placing the new recruits
have not been completed. but they will
doubtless be afforded about the same
opportunities the Fiipinos now in this
country under the care of the Govern
ment are enjoying. On account of the
severity Of the climate in the eastern
part of the United States it is not
thought advisable to bring the Filipinos
East until they have remained for az
least a few months in California eli
mate.
The one hundred young natives who
are now in southern California will be

Each of the young men brought to

Government service as many years as
he was in school. Most Of the young
men are TO be kept here at least three
years
All the Flipinos who are now here under
Government care range in age from
eighteen 10 twenty-one. Younger boys

youngsters were nearly all placed in
homes Some Of them were put in
boarding schools. In all cases they
were placed where they would be forced
to speak English. Only a few boys
were placed in each town or city, so
they could not become clannish and thus
miss opportunities to learn American
customs.
