CuCUMBERs ARE APPEALING
And Many Other Goods Things 10
EAT in Market

Local cucumberS are the feature of
today's market They are opening
strong at $3.50 per 6-inch box. Crop is
reported good by local wholesalers and
prices are bound to slump in a short
time. Demand is strong for the pickle
vegetable and good prices are likely
to be maintained throughout the sea-
son.
Summer squash comes into the mar
ket slowly. Prices are keeping up
with the demand but the tendency
is towards a drop in few days. S1.25
per half crate is the average price to-
day.
Local tomatoes are expected in the
market early next week. Prices will
rule high at first, but the supply will
be large. Local cannery demand may
tend to keep up prices.
Wax beans are in good supply and
prices have gone down as a result
Five cents is the prevailing quo ton
Green peas are quoted sacked at four
cents. Demand and supply are strong.
Onions are now well matured and
are in good shipping condition. yell
low globe is the main variety Of
fered. 5000 is asked for this COM
modify.
New potatoes are maturing in fine
shape and the crop will be large and
without blemish 1925 is the quotation
on the Irishmans delight.
Cabbage is ruling strong. Demand
exceeds supply and no relief is
promised for a few days. at least. At
$500 the local supply is poor.
Sacked beets and carrots are Of
~fered at $3.50. Early turnip crop is
failure and little is doing in the
wholesale line. In punches all three
are going at IS cents per half crate.
An occasional crate of Strawberries
gladdens the heart of the wholesaler,
but the season has practically been
ended for weeks and supply is scat
tering. $3.50 to $500 is asked when
they can be obtained.
Black and red raspberries. dew ber-
RES and black berries are very irreg-
ular and promises are not being made
to fill orders. Crop in all these seems
to be small and high prices will pre-
vail. $3.50 to $500 is the price palo
wholesalers for these small fruits.
Cherries are about gone Prices are
ruling strong as result OF the
shortening Of the crop. Royal AIMS
and Black Republicans are in best
supply. These are quoted at 80 cents
per 10 pound box. Bings are scarce
and sell readily for $1.15 for the same
amount. Other varieties are gone. Late
Dukes will be on the market in about
week.
The market is not flooded with any
commodity and the tendency is to
high prices even where the supply is
large. Several of the vegetables COM
ing in now may be expected to decline
but small fruit has gone down as far
as it will

census bulletin on the production
of lumber. Iath and shingles in 1906
has lust been issued. The amount of
lumber actually cut by over 2o'ooo
mills which made reports was 5l.o
billion feet This is the largest pro-
duction ever recorded. That of 100?
was put down at 3O.5 billion feet.
On the face of the returns these fig

conclusion. asserts one writer. III II
were true that the country had In the
last year increased the demand upon
its forests for lumber by over % per
cent. in the face of the rapidly III
minishng supply. the fact would De
omnous indeed. The explanation Is
found. however. chiefly in the much
larger number of establishments
which have reported their cuts-2l.-
600 against less than IL 900 year ago
The gain is due to response from rel
atively small mills, and shows me
widespread recognition among the
rank and file of the lumbermen that
these returns are important to the
trade and should be made as COM
piete as possible.
On any basis these figures, taken in
connection with what is known as 10
the available wood supply. are alarm
ng enough Compete returns would
undoubtedly show a consumption OF
over 40 billion feet of lumber alone.
The cut of lumber forms perhaps two
ffths of the timber consumption TOT
all purposes The total supply OF
poarcba ut1h la timber in the L mi eQ
States is supposed to be less than 20oo
billion feet This would indicate that

for losses by fire.
The vests rapid strides toward be-

PROTECTION AGAINST FAKES
Covington Proposes New Laws for
Charitable Institutions

New state laws for the protection
of the public are proposed in a recent
report by Luther ]. Covington, state
superintendent of the Washington
Children's Home Finding society. In
this report Mr.. COvngton states:
1.-The Washington Children's Home
society is not state institution, re-
ceives no state appropriation of funds;
but the work of the society so large
ly covers the needs of the state in the
care of orphans and dependent chill
dren and so many people are inter-
ested in the work and regular sup
porters of it, that law should be
passed providing for the inspection
Of this and any other similarly organ
lied society by the state board OF
control who after each inspection in
Guiding auditing the accounts should
sign a statement for publicat ton as to
the worthiness or unworthiness of
such society.
1.-The public should be protected al
so by legal enactment providing every
solicitor for charitable work shall bear
license signed by the chairman of
the state board of control or be sub
.ect to heavy penalty. This would
stop the fraud and Misrepresentation
which has given some trouble IN MS
state and much more in other states

of the child in the home of its adop-
ton the child, II may be that either
new laws should be made or important
amendments to old laws secured. Many

siderable wealth to people of the keen
est sensiblities; it is therefore of the
utmost importance that the rights OF
the home and the child be clearly de-
fined.
Now that the new receiving home
is so nearly provided for. the next
urgent matter for our consideration
is the adequate endowment of this
work. The interest on half million
dollars would be ample for the proper
care of all the children that should
properly come into the permanent
care of this society.
can endowment of 800 900 would

Inc proper care Oh OTpIEtIl

Time is not afforded to speak of those
to whom the society is under special
obligation. We are greatly indebted
to the press, especially in all the great
center of the state: to physicians. for
many cOurtesies: ministers of many
churches for information and help; to
our local advisory boards for their
personal interest and service and to
the general public for kindly SYM
pathy and generous support.
"This society will continue its best
efforts in behalf of needy children. 1t
will seek to care for them by those
methods best approved by charity ex-
perts and in accordance with the prin-
ciples underlying the Christian re-
ligion. It will be ready to respond to

The vicious system Of graft has
crept even Into the animal world, and
corrupted a resident Of the New York
Geological Park. Gunda, the elephant,
Is the guilty party. He has hitherto
been considered most respectable and
upright member Of society. A writer
IN the New York Tribune tells the sor-
~ tale. Gunda's many visitors have
been in the habit Of presenting pennies
to Jack Gleason, the keeper, which he
would place on the door of the ele-
plant house.
Gunda would then pick up these
coins with his trunk and deposit them
in a small box above his head, and
would ring a bell to register the
amount Of the deposit. Lately the
business has become very heavy, owing
to the thousands Of visitors, and Glea-
son decided to 60 oyer the books" and
figure out his exact receipts.
The result is that Gunda is in dis.
grace. and will be made the subject Of
an official Investigation BY the side Of
which the late prosecution Of bank
and Insurance CRATER will look tame.
The details OF the defaulting Gunda
are as follows:
Gunda certainly deposited the PEN
niles In the box and as certainly rang
the bell, but thereafter his ways be-
came dark and devious. No sooner
was Gleason's back turned than be
would pick them out with his trunk
and put them into his mouth. When q
visitor appeared Gunda would put a
cent on the floor and 60 through the
form Of dropping 1t in again, and ring
the bell.
Gleason sought to stop the fraud BY
driving small staples into the bottom
Of the box, 30 that the penny could
drop between them. This presented no
difficulties to Gunda, who simply .elon-
gathed the tip Of his trunk and pulled
the cent out. Then long nails, which
acted as barrier, were put in In place
Of the staples. j.
But still the receipts and the regis
ter did not agree. One day Gleason.
turning unexpectedly, caught the ele-
plant in the act OF reaching to the top
Of the partition wall with his trunk.
Gunda, on seeing he was discovered,
affected an air of easy nonchalance.
which, however, did not deceive his
keeper, who climbed to the top OF the
wall. The mystery was solved. There
lay pennies, old and new, in luxurious
profusion. and Gunda hung his head
and sulked.

People In High Society Say Appendix
citis IL Vulgar Disease.
The fashionable valetudinarlan Is
threatened with distinct bereave-
ment. Appendicitis has been declared
to be: bad form, and those who wish to
preserve true social emlnence must
on no account suffer from II. There
was time when only the educated suf-
fered from appendicitis, because only
the educated knew the anatomical POSI-
ton OF the appendix, but in these days
OF vulgar equality even the washer
woman knows where to put her finger,
when she is asked where the pain Is.
As result the supergllded must find
a new disease Into whose domain the
great unwashed have not yet found
their way.
An eastern scribe has made INQUIRIES
from prominent physicians and the
worst rumors are confirmed. One great
authority admits that but few opera
lions are now necessary, and that 1--WE
are glad to send our patients from the
surgical to the medical ward, where
hot lamentations and milk diet are
prescribed" a.
A well-known nursing sister said
frankly that appendicitis has become
questionable, and she added unkindly
that fashions In the medical world vary
as much as In the showrooms of a styl-
ish dressmaker. A well-known surgeon
admitted that appendicitis has follow
ell the example Of all fashionable crazes
and is dying a natural death, and for
no other reason than that the laundry
lady has dared toaimitate the duchess.
Needless to say, am not abiding
to genuine cases of the disease, but be-

pronounced questionable the large
contingent Of hysterlcal patients have
turned their attention to the creation
Of some new complaint"

had an Idea of how 1t should be done |;
SO, ignoring Hamilton's wink, l held
the paper up against the wall and
scrawled upon 1t with the pencil:
Mr.. Hamilton gave me eighty dol
lars for the rome colt. Yours truly,
Thomas Norcross,
have since learned that etiquette
does not require the use Of the words
yours truly in signing receipt; also,
that flourish under ones signature
adds nothing to its value. But / was
young then, and l wanted to be po-
lite.
After an affectionate farewell to
the colt, told Hamilton to keep the
saddle and bride until we drove to
town the next time; and then, nodding
to him and the stranger, and with one
last look at the latter's beautiful horse,
departed.
In less than ten minutes had left
Clayville behind me, and was walking
homeward along the dusty pike.
At first grumbled considerably to
myself at the unkind fate that com
PEELED me, on so warm day, to wear
roundabout; but by the exercise Of
my eyer-ready philosophy, consoled
myself with thinking how much worse
it would have been had been COM
PEELED to wear shoes and stockings.
This cheered me to some extent, 30 l
skipped along, very merrily, stopping
every few rods to assure myself that
the wallet was still safe In my pocket.
l was about halfway home when I
heard behind me, far down the pike,
the sound Of galloping horse.
For while paid no attention to
this; but finally, when 1t had almost
overtaken me, turned, and discovered
my friend, the stranger. 1 halted in
order to have another look at the black
horse when 1t should pass.
The stranger galloped past, and as
he did SO, nodded pleasantly; but Just
as l was about to resume my way, he
suddenly wheeled round in front of me
