WILL INCREASE - Considering
the number of fruit trees planted here
in the last month or two, much
larger output Of fruit should be
looked for within the next four or five
years. Young apple trees generally
begin bearing in five years and It is
then when Beaver farmer will begin
reaping the benefit from the work
now in hand. Thousands Of trees
have been planted throughout the
county in the last three years. and
the crop should be generally increas-
ed in the next two years. with more
substantial one when the Beaver trees
begin to bear. 1t is these garden and
orchard tracts that will make the

 IF HOBSON Safety of America Rests
 With Democrats HE SEES AN EARLY WAR
In His Minds Eye He Be- holds a Horde of Japanese Soldiers Overrunning the Pacific Slope and Eventu- ally Ruling the World.

San Francisco, oct. 27.-Before a big gathering of democrats here to- night, Captain Richard P. Hobson declared that the safety of the country rested in the election of the demo- cratic candidate for the presidency.
 After a long discussion of various issues of the campaign, he launched into a startling discussion in which he said the country was on the verge of d war with Japan. and that unless the Pacific coast was properly de- tended and a sufficient fleet of bat tleships was maintained in Pacific waters for it's protection, a horde of Japanese soldiers could and would be poured into the country. sweeping the Pacific slope from end to end.
 Captain HObson said that Pearl Harbor, the site of the proposed naval base in the Hawaiian islands, was the pivot of the universe" as matters stood now. and unless the United States guarded that vital point, Japan would eventually rule the .world.

Frederichshafen, Oct. 27.-Prince Henry. of Prussia, spent several hours in the air today as the guest of Count Zeppelin, who made an ascent in his remodeled airship at a comparatively early hour.

 Prince Henrys satisfaction with the flight was unbounded and hs gave expression to it in a telegram which he sent to the emperor. Under Zep- peIin's guidance I felt just as safe as on my own flagship"
 Captain Mischke was also a passen- ger when a start was made in the di- rection of Eubedlinger to the north ward of Lake Constance.
