her hearers, would follow the in
structions as outlined in her thesis,
they would make better men and
women, their friends would be un-
limited and success would sure be
theirs. The essay "Honor and
Fame" by Hulda Dierecks was
very interesting and the ease in
which the young lady handled her
subject won for her the admiration
of her hearers. The valedictory
was left to Josephine Hellwinkel,
the acknowledged leader of the
class, and she proved that she was
perfectly capable..of being the one
chosen to act in that capacity.
The songs by different members
of the school were we'll received
and especially the song by one OF
the boys, entitled "Ge! But This Is
Dull Old TOWN." A dance fol-
lowed and several hours of un-
alloyed pleasure resulted.
School superintendent Brockliss
presented the diaplomas to the
graduates and Prof. Cullen made
few appropriate remarks.

''Zarepath" constantly visit Somerset and
denounce the sinful lives of the townfolk
and the futile religious methods of the
local clergymen. Then the missionaries
execute the simple but vigorous religious
war dance which has earned their name

The women are particularly active in
the dance, but even their grace has won
no converts to the sect in Somervile.
Nevertheless, the excitement which the
"Pillars of Fire" undergo in their deliri-

the mind of one member of the cult at
least. Mrs. G. Dickson, who has been at

"SEEDLESS TOMATOES
AT EXPERIMENT STATIONS
Report on Developments Made by Pro-
fessor Halsted In New Jersey
and E. P. Sandsten
In Wisconsin

Prof. Halsted and his associates at the New
Jersey stations have succeeded in evolving a
nearly seediess tomato. Whereas each fruit
Of the ordinary tomato contains hundreds Of
Seeds the form which Prof. Halsted has de-
veloped seldom contains more than fifty seeds
and frequently there are not more than FIVE
six and often none This variety has be-
come pretty well established now, and is
called the Giant. 1t originated as a result of a
cross OF Golden Sunrise upon Dwarf Cham
pon. The flesh is particularly fine favored.
The plants. thrhe feet apart each way, covered
the ground devoted to the block and flow
cred up TO the killing frosts near November J..
The type appears to be we'll fixed. Attempts
to cross other sorts upon 1t have uniformly
failed Seedless fruits have also been pro-
duced by Prof. Halsted on several varieties
and crosses of tomatoes, but these crosses
were quite uniformly dwarfed in size, many
in a cluster being not larger than peas, but
solid neshed, and often Of good quality, In
one instance the fruit had the flavor of the
strawberry. Cuttings taken from plants which
produced numerous seedless fruits of this sort
when planted out in the garden gave only
normal fruits.
e. p. Sandsten, working at the Wisconsin
station, produced seedless tomatoes by an en-
tirely different method /. e., the use of ex-
cessive amounts OF fertilizers. Cuttings taken
from these plants and set outdoors remained
true to type, but produced more and larger
fruit than In the green house. The work with
seedess tomatoes at both these stations is
being continued and promises to result in the
establishment Of varieties with far less seeds
in them than the sorts commonly grown.

PRUNEs PROMISE TO BE
HIGHER IN THE MARKE7 I

Advices by mail to the effect that the
output of prunes this year in the districts
outside of Santa Clara valley will be materi-
ally less than was expected. The heavy drop
ping of prunes iii the Visalia districts has
shortened the crop there somewhat, and re-
ports of droppings now come from Northern
California sections. The best estimates at
this tim1 do not place the total crop above
S0,OOo,00O pounds, and some figure it down to
75,OO0,00O pounds-40 00O,O 900 pounds for Santa
Clara valley ani 35, 100000 pounds outside.
Indications are fer a good foreign market on
prunes little later under light crop in
France and firm markets abroad. The gener-
ally prevailing opinion on the coast in prunes
is that this fruit will command better values
than a. present ruling soon fall trading
sets in.

NEW YORK OFFICERS FIND
1000 UNCLEAN MILK CANS
First Examination Under New Law
DiscIoses So Much Dirt That 1t
Is Necessary to Aban-
don Labels

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-dalf hundred
who get their supply direct in the can
from upstate will be called upon today,
or as soon as the examining officers can
formulate charges, to explain why their
cans were returned to the railroad sta
tion last night dirty The action will fol-
low an inspection made at the Thirtieth
street depot of the New York Central,
which began about midnight and did not
end until sun-up this morning.
The investigation was made under the
authority of a law which went into effect
July IS, last by Il. p. Burke, chief of the
bureau of dairy products of the state
department of agriculture, and Henry
Kraacke, deputy commissioner. They
brought down with them a stencil I'm
clean" with which they intended to mark
the dirty can. but they found so many Of
them that they were early swamped In
the attempt to mark all with this and
compromised on daubing an ''X' with
black paint on those that they thought
the worst.
John E. Sayles, secretary to the New
York milk committee, was present for
time, ana said today that not only did
many cans present unnistakable evil
dences of not having been washed. but,
in addition. contained broken eggs and
crusts of bread. He said that. as 1t was
the first time the inspectors were LEM
lent in their Judgments, and marked
none but plainly offensive cans.
1t was said after the inspection that
at least a hundred wagons were found
which returned cans some or all of
which were unclean. The loads aver
aged from twenty-five to nifty cans
each, and 1000 was given as small
estimate of the Jotal number marked
as dirty.
In each case the name of the driver
and OF the user who returned the cans
were taken, which will be used as a
basis for legal action. According TO
the law, cans may be seized when found
in an offensive condition, but the In
spectors allowed them to go on their
way last night after marking them,
because OF the difficulty in the next
days milk supply that 1t might have
occasion to take so many cans out Of
service.

SHE WAITS AT DEPOT FOR
FAlTHLESS SWEETHEART
Pretty Kentucky Girl Runs Away to
Get Married, but Man Disap-
pears and She Falls
to Find Him

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug, 2O.-Waiting a.
the depot for hours for the lover who did not
come was the distressing experience of beauti-
full Lula Bell. aged 20. who arrived here on a
runaway jeurn from Hopkinsville, KY. to
meet Muir Hammock and marry him on Hoos-
Ter soil.
Hammock was at the depot an hour before
the train bringing his sweetheart came in.
But wh.l Miss Bell, all smiles and eagerness,
Iiled off the train and prepared TO fall into
her lovers arms, no lover was to be found. He
had not even left note.
Thinking Hammock had misunderstood the
hour Of her ARRIVAL Miss Bell waited until late
at night. Hammock had recently come 10
Evansville, and Miss Bell did not know his
address. Miss Bell kept up her vigilance until
next morning at 10 o'clock, when she told the
police her troubles.
She was Instructed TO go to hotel and wait
until tie police could locate Hammock. Chief
Brennecke thinks that Hammock has skipped
out Miss Bell is the daughter of Kentucky
farmer.

RAIsIN PACKERS ADOPT
AN ENTIRE NEW SYSTEM

According to the Fresno Republican the
policy of raisin growers to hold on to their
stuff In the expectation of raise In prices
has caused an unusual deadenlng Of the busl-

packers have adopted the policy this year TO
which they have never adhered strictly in the
past of never selling single pound until they

and difficult condition of the market doubtless
