A Great Apple Crop.

The apple crop of the United States
is estimated at SO, 120, 900 barrels, this
year. This is an unusually large crop,
being 1926, 900 barrels more than the
crop of 1905, and growers complain
that they cannot sell all their fruit and
the railroads that they cannot transport
it all. This is not the only feature of
the wonderful agricultural yield this
year, but it is an important factor for
both health and wealth to the commun-
ity.
Concerning health, there is probably
more agreement among the authorities
to the wholeSomeness of the apple and
and its beneficial effect on the dietary
than as to any other fruit. 1t is recon-
mended as a means not of restoring
health, but better, of preserving it. To
eat plenty of apples helps to keep the
system comparatively free from the eff
fete matter which tends to accumulate
and cause disease. With the great
yield reported this year, everybody can
afford to eat apples, and everybody will
find them both a palatable and an eff
ficient means of preserving health. The
children, especially, should be encou
aged to eat apples instead of sweets and
pastry. They will enjoy them as well
and be benefited by them.
But while the crop is great in quanti-
ty, it might be even better in quality.
AS every farmer who pays attention to
the subject knows, it pays to handle
only the best fruit, because that kind
brings higher prices than the average
kind. And the science of horticulture
is now SO far advanced that every farm
er may learn for himself how to grow
and handle the best fruit. The Agri-
cultural Department at Washington
will give him all the help he needs, if
he will but ask for it.

The "C1ansman" drama, founded up
on Thomas Dixon's novel of that name
is creating opposition in the north like
the "Uncle Toms Cabin" did in the
South fifty years ago. The Clansman
is founded on facts during the recon-
~struction period when the Negroes were
put into office and power by the Carpet
Baggers," who ruled the South. The
suppression of the play in Philadelphia
and other cities is unwarranted in this
land of freedom of speech and press.
1t only shows that the Northern people,
would not tolerate Negro rule any more
than the South.

The Democrats in New York gained
a signal victory by electing all the state
officers with the exception of Governor,
VIM. r. Hearst being defeated upon his
personality. An editor who runs a
fearless independent paper is bound
to make enemies as well as warm
friends. While those democrats who op-
posed Hearst say another democrat
would have been elected Governor, yet
without MI. Hearst there would have
been no issue between the parties worth
mentioning and undoubtedly, the rest
of the ticket would not have been elect

It is a mistake and an injustice to

Another prevalent ror in regard to
fat people is that the are inert or lazy

does increase the processes Of nutri-

superduous fat, but at the same time
1t causes an increase In the appetite

Philadelphia, April Ain anticipa-
ton that satisfactory arrangements
will be made by the operators and
miners representatives when they
again meet in conference tomorrow,
general good feeling prevails through
out the anthracite region.
Unlike the years Of 1900 and 1902,
when both strikes were preceded by
pronounced agitation, the mine work
ers appear to believe that when the
conference finishes its deliberations
they will have adopted a plan which,
if it does not comply with the de-
mands of the mine workers, will at
least grant concessions resulting in
the resumption of mining operations.
This feeling is due is eart to the
reported concilatUry attitude Of both
parties to the conference and also
to reassuring statements made by the
returned delegates to the Independent
While hopeful Of peace, the miners
have prepared for war, as evidenced
by the fact that the picketing has be-
come general throughout the region.
In many instances pickets stopped
men today and compelled them to
prove that they were exempted by
President MitchelPs order suspending
work.
