TO ASK REPEAL i
OF SUNDAY LAW

who have disregarded the closing
ordinance.
There is a state Sunday closing
law which will still be in effect,
even If the ordinance is repealed.
But saloon men generally prefer to
have the expense" of their prose-
cution paid by the state.
TO be more explicit they believe
that if warrants were asked of
County Prosecutor Barnhart he
would find some means to refuse
them. Some hard politics are be-
ing worked just now by the ginmill
owners. Every councilman is
buttonholed about the proposition
to repeal the ordinance. Some sat
isfaction is expressed with results

HEAR RAGSDALE DEMURRER

Judge Sullivan tomorrow morn
ing will take up the demurrer OF
George w. Ragsdale, who has been
charged with the murder OF
DUSTY" Dean. Ragsdale demurred
on the grounds that the informa-
ton does not state the degree OF
the crime.
Several months ago Ragsdale
killed Dean in saloon row. On
account of Ragsdale being Grip
pie there was doubt that Deans
death was caused by the blows.
The coroner's jury, however, de-
cided that death resulted from a
fall caused by Ragsdale's blows.

There has been gradual improve
ment since the beginning Of the fruit
industry in the methods Of handling
the crops. The early crude methods
Of harvesting and packing are giving
way to better methods In the orchard
and In the packing houses. There
needs to be further improvement along
these lines In every branch Of the fruit
industry. In the apple industry. for
instance, when the fruit is handled

cent of the fruit Is frequently made
susceptible to decay by stem punctures
caused by dropping the fruit roughly

1t Is well known that decay in fruit

caused by the rapid growth Of the

surface in some way. In the first H.
