coincide with the birthday OF our first
President.
President Cleveland was one Of
the first to recognize the need of for
est preservation, and the creation of
the San Jacinto and other forest re-
serves, with a total area of 20, 1885,
$40 acres, was one of the results of
his foresight in this direction.
Throughout his life he took great in
terest in conserving the natural re-
sources of the Nation; and / particu-
larly regretted his inability to attend
the meeting of the Governors in May,
because that meeting was in part the
fruit of seed he had sown years be-
fore. The name of Grover Cleveland
will always be prominently identified
with the movement to protect the
forests of the United States, and it
seemed to me eminently fitting that
one of the forests which he created
should bear his name throughout all
time
Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Packing Fruits and Vegetables.

Ny experience in this line has
ceiver. Consequently, should
rather suggest than dictate.
In my long experience as re-
ceiver. note very little change in
methods of packing. No package
Is properly put up for shipment that
contains an article In several stages
Of growth or maturity.
Take tomatoes. for instance. The
common practice is to put half-grown
and ripe in the same package. The
consequence is, the half-grown never
ripen and the ripe ones rot. OF
course tomatoes that are put up for
shipment to distant markets should
1ot be perfectly ripe, but should be
at least fully grown.
All spotted and deformed stock
should be rejected. The six-basket
carriers or the fats make satisfac-
.ory packages.
Lettuce should receive especial
care. 1t should not be allowed to
wither, but packed as cut. All de-
eayed leaves should be picked off
and in packing use both hands to
luck the outer leaves around the
mead to preserve it. Pack in layers
With a side pressure. Thus packed
1t will carry long distances, and keep
fresh and crisp
Beets should be packed with the
oeets in centre of barrel instead of
outside, which is the common prac-
lice.
Radishes should be put up same
as beets, as nearly as possible About
100 punches to the hamper.
The great error in packing lies
IN the fact that the grower will not
resist the temptation to put a few
Inferior or worthless specimens in
his package. / cannot conceive why
they persist in doing It when it
should be as much to the grower as
1t is to the receiver. that a few
Inferior specimens will often make

Benton Harbor, Mich.-Both Au-
gust Gross, who without known cause
shot and fatally wounded an in
offensive meat pedler named James
Kirk, and his younger brother, Fred
Gross, lost their lives in a pitched
fight with Sheriff Tenant and a posse
of seven men who went to the Gross
home to arrest August Gross. One
of the officers was injured. The
Gross brothers are both supposed to
have been insane.
After shooting Kirk, Gross barri-
caded himself in his farmhouse,
twelve miles from here, in Pipe
stone township. and through the
night exchanged occasional shots with
the crowd of farmers and officers who
were guarding the premises to pre-
vent his escape. His younger brother,
Fred, Joined him in the defense of the
house, and the aged mother of the
two men was also in the building.
The officers found her almost pros
trated with terror when they finally
broke into the house.

The posse drove to the Gross farm
in two automobiles from Benton Har-
bor. Shortly before their arrival the
Gross brothers had rushed from the
house and taken position with their
guns near the front fence. After
about fifteen shots lad been fired at
the officers, who replied with rifles
and shotguns, August left his cover
and ran for the house. Fred was
wounded through the leg, and when
he found that he was unable to fol-
low, fired a bullet through his own
head, dying instantly. Expecting Au-
gust to open fire momentarily, the
