AUTOMOBILES ON TIE FARM.
demand In Nebraska and Kansas Runs
Ahead of the RuDnlV.

LINCOLN, Neb.. July ls.-Western agents
or automobile factories assert that II the
machines could be secured hundreds Of
autos could be sold his summer TO the
farmers OF Nebraska and Kansas. As IL
rs the residents Of country towns and the
farmers are buying more Of the benzine
ouggies thar the cities. and there is scarcely
a country town in Nebraska In which there
are not more automobiles in proportion to
population than in Lincoln or Omaha.
The prosperity OF Western farmers has
secome tn old story. and this prosperity
is going TO be augmented this year by
another big crop OF wheat and corn and oats.
Most of the farmers in the State could buy
a medium priced machine Just as a luxury
II they wanted to, but the manner In which
they have amassed their money does not
lead to e-xtravaganoes Of that kind.
when a Nebraska agriculturist adds to
his machinery collection he buys onlv that
which will be Of use. That is why he is
Just now turning 70 the automobile. The
iavorite farm type is the runabout, largely
because Of its low first cost. The prudent
farmer figures that with good carriage
horses bringing $3.50 to $3.50 each In the
market he Is foolish TO utilize them in his
pleasure jaunts and his journeyings to and
from church. II he uses his work horses
to 60 to town or about the country he de-
ducts just that much from their working
capacity on the farm. By using an auto
he saves the horses fresh for the farm work..
he can transact his business quicker and
get back to the farm in a short time, to his
financial betterment.
The employment OF the g~asolene engine on
farms in the pumping Of water for stock and
In running threshing machinery and grinders
and shelters has familiarized him with this
type Of power and he takes hold of an
automobile proposition with interest and
enthusiasm.

APPLES.
Apples Generally Highest Priced I'm summer
hut Some COstiest In winter.

1T might seem improbable but IL is never
theess true" said a dealer In fine fruits.
that we get higher prices for apples in
midwinter. when this fruit is most plentiful.
than we do in midsummer, when apples
are scarcest, and the reason for thisi is very
simple.
Our apples, choice selected fruit. come
20 Us from various parts OF the country
packed like oranges in boxes, and all OF
tho same size; these various apples as they
sre packed may run, say, sixty TO ninety-six
10 ths box.
Now. in midwinter, when apples are at
'heir perfect full ripeness and in their finest
ntural condition. we can take the very
choicest of the finest and largest fruit and
put it in the window marked 81 and $3.50
dozen. and people win come In and buy IL.
Not all fine apples bring such prices in win
ssr. by any means; but II is not az all re-
markabls for us to sell the very choicest
Of the apples at such figures then when
apples are most plentiful.
But the highest price we get for the
hnest apples offered at midsummer would
% about 81 a dozen, even though apples
are then so much scarcer. One reason
TOT This is that the largest apples are not
commonly put into cold storage for summer
81 "pPit1 "a DV W hSCBR DtCuubp
us largest apples don't keep 30 well. Com
monty tho apples stored are the medium
.ised and smaller apples. and so the apples
have TO Offer in midsummer are not.
a. they are in winter. the pick Of all the
spples.
And then there is less demand for apples
n midsummer when we ave so many other
fruits then come TO perfection. and which
LeoL!e then prefer. And apples are not 90
eoo1 IN summer as they are in winter. They
soep veil in cold storage. but they soften
40 dlscolor and deteriorate rapidly when
rxsn out OF IL. We take out OF storage
GAily only such apples as we require for the
o.yt sales. or the apples we sell at this
EascD many go out OF tow to our Gus
hrrv' country houses.
III course. speaking generally. apples
1,aA the grades stored are higher in price
IA summer. II may he much higher than
.ny ara IN winter, because Il costs money
q STOW them. and because Of the possible
r,s on them when they are taksS~2ut OF
forage. So in summer apples cost the
nos, 70 the general consumer. but for the
tessons that have stated We get u

Worry the Postal Clerks.

From the 81 Louis Globe Democrat.
People who write with pale ink are the
horror OF every post onice employees who
indie letters. but when they combine pale
ink with blue or green envelopes they become
a positive nuisance. Pale ink is hard on the
eyes, even on white envelopes. but on the
dark blue or green It becomes almost invis-
ible."
SO says a letter carrier working a route
In the central part OF the city.
Il have seen postal clerks spend two or
three minutes trying 10 make out the ad-
dress on a blue envelope. and then not be
alto certain that they we're right: and
the worst OF It Is that when they make a mis-
take and mis-end a letter the blunder Is
ohavRsd up against them and their standing
70 impaired, wnen the fault was not rea:;y
theirs, but that OF the firm or person mailing
the letter. White or light colored en- velopes
are just as cheap as blue or green, Black
and some day the Postal Depart ment Will
make a ruling that will prevent the use OF
these blue and green envelopes, on the ground
kbat II costs too much time TO decipher the
writing on them. havo never heard OF
a~nybody's eyes being seriously DANA ged
from trying TO make out the addresses. but
have no doubt that there are such cases,

to day, and requested him to deposit
in Southern banks $40, 100000. one
third OF the amount deposited in New
York banks by the department this
week. Mr.. Burleson said he was moved
to make this request through reading
In the papers the statement that the
banks Of Houston, Texas. had served
notice on the owners OF cotton In
warehouses that they would no longer
make advances on cotton In storage.
rhe representative said the farmers
would be compelled to sacrifice their
cotton unless the banks did advance
the money and the banks could not
make the advances unless they re-
ceived the Treasury, funds he sought,
He proposed that the Treasury accept
warehouse receipts to only 23 per cent,

In the second place, he felt sure that
recent Withdrawals OF money from the
treasury for deposit In banks in New
York and Pittsburg had depleted the
treasury to such an extent that there
was now In the vaults only sufficient
money for routine needs.
Representative Burleson had to con-
tent himself with the explanations Of

relief to cotton growers, but he said
tonight that he was absolutely con-
WINGED that his demand was a Just one.
