Ease Trademark Sustained,

Buffalo, N. Y.-The supreme court
has granted a permanent injunction
with costs against Paul B. Hudson and
Others of New York city, restraining

Ease" now so largely advertised and
sold over the country. The owner of
the trademark Foot Ease, is Allen
8. Olmsted, of Leroy, N. Y, and the
decision in this suit 1pholds his trade
mark and renders all parties liable who
fraudulently attempt to profit by the
extensive "Foot-Ease" advertising, in
placing on the market the spurious and
similar appearing preparation involved
in the case. This the court declares
was designated in imitation and in
fringement of the genuine "Foot- Ease. "
1t is said that. similar suits will be
brought against others who are now in
fringing on the Foot Ease trademark
rights. Each package of the genine Al

APPLE BLOSSOMS NO MORE
Beautiful Feature Of Luscious Fruit
Sacrificed 70 the Need for Seed
less Production.

New York.--John F. Spencer, Of Grand
Junction, Col, is said at last TO have pro
duced a seedless apple, which in its
way is as wonderful as the pitless plum
produced by Luther Burbank the Cali
fornia wizard of horticulture. Spencer
labored nearly all his working life TO
produce an apple Of which the small
boy truthfully, yet unseldshly. could
say: There amt goin' ter be no core"
nor seeds, either. for that matter
Some dozen or so Of these new apples
were on exhibition at the warerooms Of
a fruit concern recently Visitors we're
not invited to sample the fruit, for at
present II is rare and costly, SO much
so, in fact, that three of these apples
sold for S25 at a recent exhibit on in
London. Just how Spencer eliminated
the seeds is kept a secret. as the proc
ess cannot be patented The seedless
apple is Of ordinary size, a yellowish
red, and pleasant to taste
One of the striking pecullarities of the
new trees is the absence of blossoms
In place of these. three or four small
green leaves grow from the twig around
the young apple to shelter It. This
makes It impossible for a moth to de
post the eggs and insures what prac-
tically is worthless apple.

HAS AN AUTOMATIC SWITCH
Iowa Mans Device Of Great Impor-

ed in St. Louis.

st. Loius.- William r. Smith, Of
Council Bluffs. Ia, is exhibiting in St
Louis the model of an automatic rail
road switch, when was patented
on January by Wintherlich, Lund-
gard q Smith The idea worked out
by the three was conceived by Hans ].
Wintherlich, a Dane, now residing at
Council Bluffs.
The switch is thrown automatically
hy the nsnges Of the car wheels press
ing upon an extra rail, about 80 feet
in length, intended to be placed be.
tween the other rails at points conven-
tent to stations When the train is
standing one wheel OF a coach is bound
TO rest upon this rail, and It would be
impossible for the switch to be thrown
so that another train could come in
on that track. The Ranges of the
wheels by the same method would
throw signal showing that the partlc
ular track is occupied
The invention so far is perfected for
use only at stations, but Wintherlich
has nearly completed the model OF an
improvement designed to make the in
vention applicable to the block sys.
TEN on every mile Of railway.

The Bell Company have inaugu-

ton directed to the small exchanges
and rural systems of our country.
Competition with the Independents
has been recognized, and serious
bid for business among the farmers
is being made. Pamphlets are being
sent out in all directions loaded with
brand new (mis) information, setting
forth in glowing terms the reasons
why the Independent movement is
bound to fail in time.
The farmers of Christian county
and many other counties in the past
two years have demonstrated what
they can do to trust and the Cum
berland Bell Telephone Co. They
cannot make any one in the organi-
cation believe the Home Telephone
Company is going to leave. They
have only been here Is months and
will soon have as many subscribers
as the Cumberland Co. in 10 years.
Why? because they are satisfied
with reasonable rentals and endeav-
or to give every one value received.
