BIG APPLE CROP Is DUE.
Missouri Grower Says Codd|inl
Was DESTROYED Last Year.

Chicago, May Missouri is prepar-
ing Tor bumper fruit crop and any
danger OF a frost that would hurt
ended practically with Easter Sun
day, according to Mr.. Butterfield, OF
Pennington, Mo-, one OF the largest
fruit growers In the state, who is In
Chicago an business.
We are practically sure OF having
one OF the largest apple crops ever
known In the state" said Mr.. But
terrified. Last year there were siew
apples on the northern edge and a
few at the southern border and none
In between. The killing frost on
April % fixed the buds. 1t was con.
sidered q state OF calamity at first.
Now we realize that If was a bless
ing
1--WE believe that the coddling
moth, the apple Zoe, was exterminat.
ed by the crop failure of last year
The coddling moth lays It's eggs at
she heart OF the blossom, just at the
point where the apple stem will be.
When the apple begins to mature re
sultlng worm bores It's way into the
fruit and destroys is.
There were no apples last year,
hence no worms. For the same rea-
son that the chinch bug passed away
withe failure OF the farmers TO grow
wheat aiser the chinch bug visitation
We believe that there will not be al
apple worm in Missouri this year,
and we anticipate a remarkable crop,
which ls good thing for the apple
grower and good thing for the ap.
pie consumer.

SOCIAL EQUALITY URGED
IN NEW YORK.
Girl Society Leaders Dine With
Negroes at a Banquet.

New York, Msy.-Social equality
and intermsrrisge between the races
were advocated Wednesday night at
a banquet Of the Cosmopolitan So
ciety Of Greater New York, where
twenty white girls and women dined
side by side at table with negro men
and women.
Whether by accident or design, all
OF the white women save three found,
when they reached the tables In
Peck's restaurant. Fulton street,
that the seats beside them were to be
occupied by negro men. Many OF
the men were as black as coal.
The Reverend Madison c. Peters,
who had intended to speak to the.
society, remained long enough to
view this startling seating arrange
ment. AS the first course OF the din
ner was served he called Andre TIL
don, treasurer Of the society, aside,
and, pleading as an excuse another
speech which must be delivered up.
town, hurried from the room.
Miss Mary White Ovington, a
Brooklyn social leader, who had
been prominent In settlement work
and whose father is proprietor OF
the Hotel st. George, was the only
white woman who occupied a seat at
the speakers table, Negroes were
clustered all about her.
The one table in particular which
attracted attention was that at
which hall q dozen young white wo-
men sat, and where the d8shink
young negro, Captain W. FL, Thomp
son, sat between two young white
women from Green Point.
The young ladies were Miss Isabel
Esson and Miss Marion Doolittle.
They are we'll known In social circles
They chatted with their negro enter
tainer, while he retold his exploits at
San Juan hill, where he served as
Adiutsnt OF the Eighth Illinois
Colored Infantry.

feelings OF the negroes when he said:
"Intermarriage, if continued long
enough, would solve the race prob

Again, many freshman who has In
him the material for fine athlete,
sees less powerful man put into
some team position over his head SIM
ply because the latter youth has got
ten into shape" more quickly. College
coaches" are often too busy to spend
overmuch time on an aspirant who
does not give immediate or at least
moderately quick promise of success.
There are also many youngsters
whom the forcing system" in vogue
at colleges will develop into good ath-
letes, at the same time failing to give
them the groundwork Of strength and
endurance on which all real athletic
prowess should be built. It is such
men who break down, acquire "ath-
letic heart" and die early. They have
been introduced to an entirely new
order of life without sufficient prep.
aration, and that is something to
which nature never consents.
With all this In view would warn
boys not to enter college athletics
without previous practice, and here
outline the most important details of
such practice.
Z; To the boy who has followed the
foregoing lessons and who will for a
year go through the exercises l have
prescribed, college athletics will be an
open book. He will be practically
immune from injury and will be eligi-
BILE for far higher position In his
alma matters athletic work than will
the average strong boy" But no
matter how much general exercise of
any sort boy may have taken, GER
tain specific exercises should he
learned in advance If he intends TO
compete for collegiate honors.
l will suppose you intend to enter
college next fall. You will therefore
have at least six months In which to
train Training" and Exercising"
are two widely different things. Here.
tofore you have been exercising.
Henceforth you must train.
Exercise is like the fiexing of the
fingers and the mastering of notes,
chords and scales on the piano.
Training is the application of such ex-
.ercises by playing difficult piano Sc
lection. Do you see the difference?
The ground work Of training Is
sound wind In sound body. If your
body is not sound leave college ath.
letics alone. They can bring you moth.
ing but harm. As for your wind. how,
ever, you can bring that to state OF
perfection, If your wind is not good
you can never be good athlete.
The deep breathing have described
will do more for the wind than will
anything else. But running is the
best exercise for wind and body alike
when man starts In training
