county and that the INDEPENDENT
reaches them.

The loads of fruit trees now being
delivered and the steady stream to
come in for the next several weeks,
tells the story of an horticultural en-
pire more eloquently than can the
most gifted pen. Thousands of acres
of orchard are being set to trees each
year, adding tc our already large fruit
territory.
AS the days go by greater confidence
in the prospects for big fruit crop
this year is felt by the growers gen.
orally. The budding of trees has not
yet begun and weather conditions are
such that weeks may pass before even
the earliest of the trees are in bloom.
At this time last spring apricots in
some orchards were in bloom.

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink NJ

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee and her experience is In
teresting. She says:
During the two years Of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty. I
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep.
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and 1t was quite natural that
/ should want a good. hot cup Of cof-
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and l could keep awake better.
After three or four years of coffee
drinking 1 became a nervous wreck
and thought that l simply. could not
live without my coffee. All this time
1 was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes SO severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave OF coffee for he
feared that 1t had already hurt me
almost beyond repair. SO I resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
Il began taking Postum, and for q
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant, but /
liked the taste Of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
Finally began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After a
years use OF Postum 1 now feel like q
new woman-have not had any bilious
attacks since I left of coffee"

H,H ROGERS DEAD
FROM AP0PLExY
WAS VICE PRESIDENT OF THE
STANDARD OIL CON-
PANY.
.PH|LANTHROPIST, ALSO
SON iNHERiTS FORTUNE OF
FIFTY TO SEvENTY-FivE
MILLIONS.

New York.-Henry II. Rogers. vice
president of the Standard Oil Com
pany, moving spirit in the organiza-
ton of the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany, builder OF railroads and philan-
thropist. died at his home here early
Tuesday from apoplexy.
Death came little more than an
hour after Mr. Rogers had risen for
the day. mentioning to his wife that
he was feeling Ill. He was sixty-nine
years old. Mrs. Rogers. three mar
ried daughters, son. II. II. Rogers
Jr., and DIR. ]. w. Pulley, n physician
who was hastily summoned. were at
the bedside when the end came.
Mr.. Rogers had been in Indifferent
health since he suffered an apoplectic
stroke in 1907 and was almost con
stantly under a physicians care. HIS
death, however, was n great shock to
his family and business associates. as

yesterday and last evening he was
cheerful and apparently normal. even
to the extent of going down to busi'
ness Monday morning, where he
lunched as usual In the Standard OIL
building.
News OF the financier's death did
not become generally known till about
two hours after 1t occurred. The stock
exchange had not opened when the
report reached Wall street. but with
the opening there was hardly an ap-
preciable effect on the market After
a decline at first in the stocks In
which he was popularly supposed to
be interested. conditions rapidly ad-
justed themselves, confirming in 4
way that Mr.. Rogers had in the last
few months anticipated death and
withdrawn from the market.
Henry II. Rogers was money
maker and one OF the most successful
men Of the Standard Oil group. He
began life as a poor boy at Fairhaven,
Mass, where he was born. and re-
tanned his legal residence there until
the day OF his death. He is variously
reported as having commenced life as
a newsboy and as driver of gro
Gerry cart. He was man of many
friends and an enthusiastic yachtsman.
Until recently he had held the reins
of the Standard Oil Company follow
ing the retirement OF John ID. Rookie
feller. although J. ID. Archbold at
tended to the routine management OF
the great corporation.
Just how much money Mr.. Rogers
leaves is not known. His fortune is
variously estimated at from $50.0oo.-
900 to SIS, 900. 900, which will make his
son, H. H. Rogers. Jr. one OF the rich
est men in the country.

COZZENSW WAS PERPLEXED He Couldn't Pick Quarrel with
 His Wife

What" cried Mr Cozzens. Isn't dinner ready yet?"
 And as he strode around the dining room in tempestuous and apgrieved sort of way he contentedly attuned his ears to catch spirited reply from Mrs. Cozzens, but as for Mrs. Cozzens. Mrs. Cozzens fooled him, and the only response he heard was rattle of dishes in the kitchen where Mrs. c. was preparing the evening meal.
 Isn't ready yet, eh ?" he cried. Isn't ready yet, eh?"
 And again he attuned him ears to catch the customary No, it isn't, eh," but again Mrs. Cozzens disappointed him, placing her head through the kitchen doorway (instead of speaking. sharply to him through the door) and saying: Just minute or two, Henry. I'm sorry I'm so late" 70, you're sorry, eh?" cruelty de. manded Mir Cozzens, flinging himself into his evening chair and rattling the evening paper. You're sorry. eh?"
 I'll only be minute now" said Mrs. CozZens.
 "Huh!" cried MT. Cozzens. When I come home hungry like my dinner l work hard all day, I do, and need ,t!"
 But Mrs. Cozzens had returned to the kitchen.
 "Sorry!" exclaimed MT. Cozzens, bit terly, raising his voice Yes. sorry. But sorrow doesn't feed me! No! Sor- row doesn't butter my parsnips No! Sorry. Huh! And so you're sorry. eh?" he cried.
 And glancing toward the kitchen door he gave it a look and said: There. thatll fetch her on the run."
 But. on the contrary, Mrs Cozzens appeared on the walk with plate of bread in her hand.
 Have you had hard day, Henry?" she asked
 T always have a hard day" grum. bled Henry, and I want my dinner"

 Just a minute, eh?" demanded Mir. CoZzens with look like a griffon.

 And as for RenI,, Henry rejoiced in ais heart and was glad.

 But Mrs. Cozzens didn't shout back. I say, You are!'" he cried again. But. Mrs. Cozzens only passed him the butter.
 Hasn't this been a beautiful day." she exclaimed
 o. it's been a beautiful day, has it." exclaimed Henry
 So mild and warm," said Mrs. Coz. zens.
 "So mild and warm, eh?" demanded MT. Cozzens, fiercely.
 Will you have another slice of bread, Henry?"
 "Mmmm," grumbled Henry.
 And, pining for the excitement oi warfare, he cast his eyes around the room and searched his mind for a cause upon which he could insult Mrs. Cozzens grossly.
 It's a wonder,' he cried at last. al. most surprised at his own daring, that you wouldn't dust the furniture once week, anyhow"
 Tt is dusty, isn't t?" sighed Mrs Cozzens.
