100000 APPLE TREES
In One Order Given the WasAtn0.
ton Nursery Of Toppenash,
Washington.

The Washington Nursery Co., Of
Toppenish has just closed contract
with the Arcadia Irrigation Associa-
ton Of Spokane agreeing to furninh
them with ONE MILLION apple trees
for their large fruit tracts. This u
the biggest deal Of the kind ever con-
summated in the history Of any nur-
sery and reflects great credit ON the
Washington Nursery Co., both - =
their ability to grow the highest pes
sible grade Of stock, and their buai-
ness enterprise in securing a eCdor
Of this magnitude. Toppsnish may
we'll be proud of such an institution
and with orders of this size coming
its way. the company will certainly
develop into an immense organiEA-
ton at rapid rate. In fact, tn
growth during the less than four
short years it has been established
is little less than marvellous and the
credit is altogether due to the we'll
known experience and ability Of the
president. Mr.. A. w. Mcdonald, who
brought with him to Toppenish .
thorough knowledge of the nursery
business, coupled with keen business
foresight in selecting a location for
his growing fields ON the Yakima
Indian reservation, far removed from
old, infected orchards, where the
trees could be protected from con-
tamination.
How well he has succeeded 10
proven by the fact that the Washing
ton Nursery Co., Of Toppenish. 10
| now the second largest company
west of the Rockies and their repu-
tation is such that the Arcadia Irri-
cation Association in promoting
their large enterprise wisely chose
the stock from Toppenish In prefer
ence to all others, a. announced In
their large ad. in the northwest pa
pers, extracts from which reads a
| follows:
THE Arcadia closed the contract
today with a large nursery company
for 100000 apple trees. This 10
| the largest single order for apple
| trees ever given.
These trees were ordered from
the Washington Nursery Company Of
Toppenish.
We sent our expert all over this
state and part of Oregon and Idaho
and he reported that the Toppenish
Nursery surpassed them all in purity
from all insect pests and quality of
trees"
The first large installment Of this
order goes out with the spring de-
livery.

Could Not Cure Himself.

Something of the irony of fate is ex- emplified in an anecdote related by the New York Times concerning Professor Poirier, who until his death was the most famous cancer expert in France.
 Professor Poirier gave much of his time without pay to aiding poor people afflicted with cancer. One day there came to him q woman on whom he had operated and who feared the growth was coming again.
 Fear nothing" said the physician when he had made an examination. Tt will be some years before you will need a fresh operation-which. by the way, I shall not be able to perform"
 But. doctor, you will not refuse to treat meT'
 "No, my poor woman, but shall not be there to do it. also have a cancer. and it will be more rapid than yours"

Both Won.

That the average Broadwayite is a natural born gambler" was well H. lustrated the other morning. Two men met, and one confessed the want of breakfast. The other made good" the deficiency, and during the meal No. l remarked that he had received notice that there was a registered let ter in the postoffice for him.
 Nobody would send me money" he added, 'so it's a waste of car fare to go after 1t"
 "Ill give you dollar for half in- terest," said No. 2.
 You're on if you pay care fare" was the quick reply.
 After breakfast the pair went to the postoffice, got the letter, opened it and found a five dollar bill.
 Anyhow I'm $3.50 ahead" said the owner of the letter as he split the bill" That's from a man I never expected to make the loan good."- New York Globe.

STOCK GAMBLING
Il Has Much 10 Do Win Con.
 dlljODS in the Country.

Washington, Nov 30.--It is said that people still gamble and that all business is gamble. Spacious argu- ments these, constituting a weak de- fense. The fact that all other forms Of gambling are being prosecuted and driven out of existence vastly in- creases the seriousness of the situa- tion, for the gamblers are steadily being confined to but one channel in which they can find an opportunity to gratify their passion. Ordinary forms of gambling affect but the lim- ited few. A man who avoids cards, horse racing and the faro bank is not likely to suffer much from them. But every person in the United States is affected by stocks and grain gambling, whether he is a player or an onlooker. The price of wheat is fixed, to all intents and purposes, on the Chicago exchange; the price of stocks on the New York exchange. No fault can DC found when these prices are legitimate and based on the actual value of the stocks and commodities. The trouble is that many times they are fixed by people who have nothing to sell and no de- sire to buy, but merely bet with each other. A man invests his money in a certain stock and awakes the next week to find that owing to forces having no bearing whatever on the business or profits of the industry. his stock has shrunk 25 or 50 per cent in it's market value. This is made possible by the pernicious cus- tom of borrowing" stocks, for it is the short sales that do the damage in pure speculation. When a down. ward movement in stock becomes perceptible hundreds rush in to 'sell'' what they do not possess, ex- pecting to ''buy" it back at lower figure. Their weight added to the natural movement creates a terrible pressure and thus the price of stock in the hands of thousands of in- vestors is depreciated by men yho own none. When such downward movements are deliberately created by professional manipulators the act is almost criminal. At. the same time misrepresentations, wash sales uhu otLiCA Sdhpllh6 0AuS duu devices, when employed to bring in- vestors into stock are scarcely less reprehensible. The difficulty lies in dealing with such delicate prob lem, especially with conditions as tremulous as at present. It has been suggested that dealing on margins should be prohibited but that would affect many bona fide investors for only very few have the cash to buy outright. Generally they pay part and borrow the remainder on
 the stock as collateral. To forbid a man to sell what he does not possess would be fine solution, but as long as he can borrow" the stock he does possess it as far as the purchaser is concerned. To prevent dealing in options seems we'll nigh impossible for all merchants order their goods for future delivery. To interfere
 with the sales O. purchases of wheat or cotton for future delivery would affect the legitimate dealer, merchant or miller more than the speculator.
 When congress again tackles this question for it has had it up before, # will have it's hands full.

Four Bad Snakes.

Snakes are much maligned creatures, although they are. for the most part of considerable value to man. as they live almost entirely on insects and the small rodents that are injurious to crops.

 My, how nice 1t smellsv said the big man as he seated himself in Miss Cynthia's favorite corner. The black diary lay open by his side. His eyes caught the lines:
 Love is of mans life thing apart; 'Tis woman's whole existence.
 "Oh, tommyrot" he said Did you write that?'
 "Yes," Miss Cynthia admitted. By ron said it, you know"
 Well, he didn't know what he was talking about. Why. if I loved a wo. man I should just love her all over- no halfway business for me-" "Oh!" Miss Cynthia gasped. There was something in his tone that made his statement next door to a declara- tion--a fervency that positively thrill ed her.
 T am awfully glad came" he said as they went downstairs. T am a stranger in this neighborhood, but if you will let me come again I will be mighty glad, It seems like my own folks"
 You must come real often," Miss Cynthia urged, and hoped that Martha Ann would not hear her invitation.
 Gee! This is the way to live" said her visitor as he stood on the steps and surveyed the quiet garden, the family of gray pussy cats in the sunny porch corner, the gray horse in the paddock.
 q should think travelling around in your automobile would be interesting" Miss Cynthia ventured.
 "Well, 'tis," he agreed. Do you like it"
 q have never been in one," Miss Cynthia admitted.
 "What?' he asked. "Oh, look here! You run right up and put on your hat, and I'll take you"
 "Oh," said Miss Cynthia, all a-fiutter, q wonder if can?"
 "Of course you can," said the gentle man securely. q won't run away with you"
 Safe in her own room, Miss Cynthia consulted Martha Ann.
 You'd better go with us," she said. T don't think it's quite proper, Martha Ann, do you"
 q wouldn't go in one of them things if you'd give it to me- Martha Ann said, land he's all right I saw his po,na o,, o I,1pdIo of ,oporc ho loft ip the automobile. He's Andrew Briggs, the millionaire that's bought the fac tory. He Is building church and a library for the town, and guess he's respectable"
 Miss Cynthia dressed in a whirl. Of what account was that little romance of years ago when at her gates was a prince like this?
 She came down with four yards of white chiffon tied around her hat. It had been bought for waist, but, worn as veil, it made fascinating frame for her flushed little face. She had loosened her hair, and the soft brown curls gave youthfulness to her expres- sion.
 MT. Briggs eyed her with apprecia- ton.
 "I'm awfully glad I met you," he said again as he helped her into his car.
 Martha looked after them as they whirled down the long white road.
 "Well, I never"' she remarked to the pussy cats. Did you ever see two peo- pie take to each other like that? I bet it will be a match'-
