Take peaches, for instance. Last year
only 37.4 of the whole crop survived. In

going to reach the market. There's s
a 16 per cent increase in apples TO

"One Touch Of Nature Makes
 The Whole World Kin"

When a rooster finds d big fat worm he calls all the hens in the farm yard to come and share 1t. A similar trait of human nature Is to be observed when a man discovers something eXception- ally good-ne wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. This is the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Chamber lain's Cough Remedy write let ters to the manufacturers for publication, that others similarly ailing may also use 1t and ob- tain relief. Behind every one of these letters Is warm hearted wish of the writer to be of use to someone else. This remedy is for sale by all Druggists and all Dealers.

NO CHANGE
 THIS YEAR. Eyaporators May Use Sulphur in Bleaching Fruit as
 Formerly.

A. s. Teasdale, of Rogers, chairman of the committe repre- senting the fruit evaporator ln- terests of Northwest Arkansas, recently received the following letter from Congressman ]. C. Floyd, from which 1t will be seen that fruit evaporators will this year be permitted to use sulphur in bleaching fruit as formerly:
 My Dear Sir: Further reply ing to your favor of March 21st, enclosing copies of resolutions in reference to the use of sulphur in drying and manufacturing fruit products for the year 1908, I have the honor 10 advise you that 1 have today had personal consultation with the Honorable James Wilson, Secretary of Agri- culture. in regard to this subject. Secretary of Wilson authorizes me to state to you and to the evaporators of fruit in our sec tion of the country, that 1t Is not the intention of the Agricultural Department to interfere with or modest the fruit evaporators i'll their work for the year 1908, and to advise you for the coming season to go right on evaporat- ing your fruit as heretofore using the same amount or quan- tity of sulphur that you think right and proper just as you have been doing, and that the Department will not disturb or interfere with you i'll such course.
 Il explained to him that 1t would be very detrimental 10 change the process of evapora- ton during or in the midst Of q season. He stated that 1t would be ruinous To do so and that tie Department has 10 intention of injuring any one but their paf- pose IS to aid and assist the peo- pie Ill every way possible.
 Secretary Wilson stated that lie finds wide difference of opin- ion among experts as to the ef- feet of the use of sulphur in fruit drying processes. He fur ther stated that the Department would during the coming season, make investigations with refer enee to such use, and would se- cure the opinions of the best ex- pertS in the country with a view of arriving at d correct and proper opinion with reference to same, which investigation and opinions would serve as guides for future action of the Depart ment in reference to this matter; but that tic Department has 10 intentions ef changing present rules and regulations 50 a> to af- feet the fruit evapofators in their work for tIle year 190s.
 He further authorizes me to communicate this information 6g letter to you, and through yoa. to the fruit growers of my sec tion and to assure one and all that they will not be interfered with by his Departmet for using tie same processes sanctioned heretofore during the coming season.
 l hope YOU will kindly com municate this information to all persons interested in fruit evapo- ration in our section of the eoun- try, and, to this end you are at liberty to publish this letter.
 l beg to remain, yours very truly, J. C. FLOYD, NJ. (.

 So he was careful to have his dress and person neat, and when he took his turn to be interviewed, :, went in with his hat in his hand and q smile on his face.
 The keen-eyed lawyer glanced him over from head to foot.
 Good face" he thought, and pleasant ways"
 Then he noted the neat suit but other boys had appeared in new clothes saw the well-bruSh- ed hair and clean-looking skin. Very well, but there had been others there quite as cleanly; another glance showed the finger nails tree from soil.
 "Ah, that looks like thorough ness, thought the lawyer.
 Then he asked d few direct, rapid questions, which John an- swered as direetly y.
 Prompt" was his mental eom- ment; "can speak up when neces- sary. Let's see your writing" he added aloud.
 John took a pen and wrote his name.
 "Very well, easy to read, and no fourishes. Now what refer ences have you?s

 Johns face fell. He had begun to feel some hope of success, but this dashed 1t again.
 II haven't any he said slowly; I'm almost stranger in the city"
 Cant take boy without re- ferenees,o was tile brusque re- joinder, and as lie spoke sudden thought sent a flush to Johns cheek.
 Il haven't any references = he said, with hesitation, but here's a letter from mother l just re- ceived. l wish you would read 1t.
 The lawyer took 1t. It was a short letter:
 My dear John:-I want to re- mind YOU that wherever you find work you must consider that work your own. Don't go into II, as some boys do, with the feeling that YOU will do as little as you can, and get something better soon, but make Up your mind you will do as much as possible, and make yourself so necessary to your employer that he will never let you go.
 You have been a good son to me, and l can truly say l have never known you to shirk. Be as good in business, and l am sure God will bless your efforts.
 I'll mn said the lawyer read ing 1t over the second time. That's pretty good advice, John excellent advice. 1 rather think I'll try YOU, even without the re- ferenees.
 John has been with him SIX years, and last spring was ad- mitted to the bar.
 Do you intend taking that young man into partnership?' asked friend lately.
 Yes, I do. couldn't get along without John; he Is my right-hand man exclaimed the employer heartily.
 And John always says the best reference he eyer had was q mothers good advice and honest praise Exchange.
