fever, neglected and despised by those

William the Silent survived numer-

Washington survived the perils of

| CRANBERRLES FROM BOG
TO DELICIOUS JELLY
How the Annual Crop Of Million Bushels is Grown
! and Picked.


One of the most important prelim-
1naries to the Thanksgiving dinner is
the fall picking of the crop Of cram
berries, which reaches now a good
round million bushels of blushing red
fruit. And what an ocean of sauce and
mountain Of jelly such a quantity of
berries can make but it is easily dis
posed Of by the American people, for
probably 100000 bushels are used for
the Thanksgiving festival alone.
The genesis of the cranberry is not
as well known as that Of other fea-
lures of the Thanksgiving dinner.
Everybody knows all about the turkey.
Nor is there any mystery about the eel
cry, the mincemeat that goes into the
pies or any of the side vegetables that
add so much eclat,
But the cranberry comes a distance
to the vast majority Of the consumers.
1t is seldom used on the farm. Gran.
perry culture Is not usually carried on
IN a small way by a farmer in con-
nection with other produce cultivation.
1t Is a separate business that re-
quires plenty of land, and what is even
more important water.
1t was at Cape Cod that the cram
berry was first cultivated in the
United States. and soon came the dis
coVery that in favor the cultivated
cranberry was far superior to it's wild
brother
From this point the cranberry has
spread all over the United States,
but it is selfish berry, and demands
for its own exclusive use all the land
devoted to it's culture. Thus it is not
possible to get crop of cranberries
one year and crop Of something else

Has Only One Apparent Asset.

Has Only One Apparent Asset.
But none OF the charities aided by
Mrs. Eddy could be designated by Mr..
Laid or found by searchers. Mrs.
Eddy's only visible asset is the Con-
cord house and the 40 acres of park
land that surround it valued at
100000
christian Scientists the world over
doubtless will be anxious to know
what has become of the great fortune
of the helpless old lady, confined to
an upper story Of her isolated home.
They will only have to consult the
real estate transfers Of Concord, N. H.,
for clew to it's whereabouts.
these records show that Mrs.
Eddys estate, Pleasant View, was orig
inally purchased in great part by Jo-
seph T. Mann, her former butler and
brother of her present coachman. They
also show that Mrs. Eddy's home, its
furnishings and all her jewelry, were
transferred few years ago to Calvin
A. Frye, the present footman, secre-
tary and supreme power at Pleasant
View.
when an action for damages
against Mrs. Eddy threatened to re-
veal to the public this transaction. the
property was quickly transferred back
to it's aged owner.

has been full of reporters.
H. Cornell Wilson, Christian Science
press agent for New York and vicin-

between the reporters and the house
hold at Pleasant View. Archibald
Mcclellan, editor of the official Chris
tian Science publications, came up
to help, and L. c. Strang, the local
man, also was on the job.

one man. However, they fought it out
until all but two were let in on the

"A woman reporter went up to
Pleasant View and had herself ap-
pointed spokesman. She came back
with three questions, which she
had agreed with the Scientists,
were to be asked of Mrs. Eddy.
In their conclave the reporters added

The scoop looks like a rake, with
box attached, and is made of hick-
ory 1t has long teeth, and the op.
orator pushes it along through. the
vines, having it carefully adjusted SC
that it does not tear the vines or miss
any OF the berries. AS the scoop picks
the berries from the stems it empties
| them into box, and the method is so
quick that one man can pick 25 times
as many berries in a day as was pos
sible under the old hand system.
Machinery also helps when the time
comes to take the berries indoors. re-
move the leafy waste and grade them
according to size and quality.
There are to each bog several con-
ven1ent buildings, so placed as to re-
duce to a minimum the need of carry
ing the crop from place to place.

The berries are received by the hop
