PRIMARY ON DISTRICT RULERS
CONVENTION TO SELECT CAN.
DIDATES is PROPOSED.
Chamber of Commerce Committee
Proposes Delegations From Civic
Bodies of the Community.

There was considerable discussion today
over the proposition made at an informal
conference yesterday afternoon in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce as
TO the manner of deciding upon two citi-
zens of the District for the District COM
missionerships, soon to be vacated by Mr.
Macfarland and Mr.. West.
1t is proposed to get from the citizens
concrete opinion as to who shall be rec
commended to the President as the choice
of majority of the people of the Dis
trict Of Columbia
Plan for Primary.
Interest in this matter has been height
ened by the recent report on plan of
District government made by subcom-
mittee of the committee on law and legis-
lation of the Chamber of Commerce. The
plan that seemed to meet with some IA
vor was that the trade bodies. citizens
associations. labor and civic organizations
should name delegates to q general meet
ing or convention to be held at specified
date, which should proceed to the nomi-
nation of two men to represent them on
the District board. The rules to govern
the representation would be decided upon
as the movement progresses.
1t is understood that steps will be taken
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce to-
sether, and possibly those of the Board
of Trade to consider the feasibility OF
the plan and take action upon it.
New Candidates in Field.
In the meantime new candidates are
appearing in the field. Samuel S. Yoder,
a real estate dealer, and Julius C. Pey-
ser. an attorney, have ben entered in
the race by their friends.
Harvey Given, assistant United States
district attorney, has been suggested, as
has Louis c. Witkowski, a business man.
The name of r. G.. Davis, former col
lector of taxes was brought out today as
a man whose appointment would meet
with the approval of the taxpayers

ton, at its meeting last night, unani-
mously indorsed A. L. l.. Leckie and Eu-

LABOR LEADERS IN DEMAND

There are not nearly as many labor
leaders in the Industrial field as are
needed
We mean by labor leaders" men who
and know how to advise the lay mem
bcrs. 1t is perhaps easy to account for
this and to point to a remedy. The in
ccntive to take an active part in labor
troubles is not sufficient to cause any
but the most self sacrificing men to work
their way to the front and long re
main there. In the first place, it is
usually a labor of love. and then when
the average man finds he is being ad
vcrsely criticised by the men he is work
inc for he becomes discouraged. He
finds he is severely criticised for his
mistakes, or charged with making mis-
takes. without an investigation being
held, and given but slight recognition
for the good he does.
When all things are considered. the
lack of students of the labor movement
is easily accounted for
Therefore, let use resolve to turn
over a new leaf and lend every possible
assistance to all men who are willing to
make sacrifices, and believe no evil of
any one until charges and statements OF
wrongdoing have been proven true.-Un.

Spokane he was informed that the ap

to a happy surprise. There are some
very fine apples grown in that county
1 never saw any higher colored Will
liams' Favorite than are shown there.
The Kings are magnificent, and like
wise the Gravenstein. l have seen
larger Wolf Rivers, but never saw any
better colored. The pears shown are
fine. One variety in particular was
very noticeable. 1t was grown from
smooth and of good size. While I
could not judge of the quality, for
the pear is still hard, l was assured
by Mr.. Court that the flavor is very
fine when it is ripe. Such demonstra-
tons as this county is giving at the
fair ought to be of great value. What
the fruit-growers in different localities
want to know is what varieties will
succeed best in each section. Some
varieties of the apple will succeed
better on the Sound than east of the
mountains, and often the reverse is
true What the apple growers in the
irrigated sections have been doing for
years is to find what varieties do the
best in their part of the state. 1t
will not pay us to raise Kings, North
ern Spys, Baldwins and Gravensteins,
so we have settled down on Winesaps,
Jonathans, Rome Beauties, Arkansas
Blacks, Spitzenburgs and Newtowns,
with some new apples, like the De
licious and Banana. How much has
been done along this line in the Sound
country I do not know, but such ex-
hibits as this one from San Juan
county is helping to settle such ques-
tions.
President Dumas informed me the
other day that it has been decided to
hold a conference on the apple box
question in Spokane some time during
the National Apple show in Novem-

do not put in the stopper to the bung
hole. Two lamentations must take
place before you can have vinegar.
The first is alcoholic fermentation;
the second acetic fermentation. The
first must be completed before the
second can begin. The length of time
for the completion of either of these
lamentations will depend on the tenn
perature. The best temperature for
the success of alcoholic fermentation
is from so to 80 F. If the tempera-
ture is very low, as it frequently is in
cellars, it may take from one to three
years to make vinegar. If the tenn
perature is kept up to 95 F., much of
the alcohol may be lost. Vinegar fac
tories hasten the processes by high
temperature and exposure to the air,
but lose somewhat by the process
When this alcoholic fermentation is
completed we have what Is termed
hard cider" which contains IL to Is
per cent. of alcohol and will make
drunk. We may know when this first
fermentation is completed by the fact
that bubbles practically cease to rise
on the liquid.
Before the second fermentation be-
gins the hard cider should be drawn
off and put into casks not more than
half full, with the top left open to the
air. Remember that air is very
essential element in this last fermenta-
tion The process will be fastened If
some good old vinegar is added to this
hard cider. If the old vinegar con-
tains what is commonly called moth
err" it will greatly facilitate the proc
ess. This mother consists of vege-
table formation called 'acetic bacte-
ria" This mother must not be stirred
into the liquid but spread out on the
surface, for acetic bacteria will not
grow except it is in contact with the
air. This acetic bacteria is often
called "the vinegar plant" Don't
make the mistake of adding the old
vinegar or the vinegar plant to the
cider till the first fermentation is COM
pleted, for if you do, it will retard
the process. The custom that many
housewives have of adding fresh cider
| to their old vinegar is a mistake, for
the old vinegar prevents or greatly re-
tards the first fermentation, which
the fresh cider must undergo before it
can be turned into vinegar. Old vine
gar may be added to hard cider, but
fresh cider must not be added at any
stage
When the second fermentation is
completed, then draw off the vinegar,
leaving the dregs behind. This com
pleted vinegar must be put into bot
ties and corked up tightly, so as to
exclude the air, or an additional fer
mentation will take place and cause
deterioration If kept in barrels the
heads must be put in so as to keep out
the air as much as possible.

conner under the most favorable COIL
ditions, and If it has any value, let us
say so. Let us not condemn this new
claimant simply because we do not
like Luther Burbank, its originator, or
John Lewis Child, its dissemination.
All I plead for is that we should be
fair and honorable in this and in all
similar cases.
At this time of the year many farm
ers, and especially farmers wives, are
trying to make their supply of cider
vinegar, and, hence, just now there
are many inquiries about making
homemade vinegar. In former issues
of The Ranch I have answered inqui-
ries with reference to the proper steps
to be taken in this work. But we have
many new subscribers and no doubt
many old ones have forgotten what
said. So I will give directions in as
brief space as I can how to make
homemade cider vinegar.
Vinegar can be made out of almost
anything containing sugar and water.
In England most of the vinegar in use
is made from sour beer, while on the
continent it is made from sour wine.
But vinegar made from good ripe ap-
pies is far better than that made from
beer or wine There are large facto-
ries in America devoted to the making
of cider vinegar, and while this is
high quality of vinegar, it is not quite
up to the fine vinegar made from good
apples by the farmer-if he makes IL
right. The reason is that it takes time
to make the best quality of vinegar
and the process employed by vinegar
factories is usually too short for the
best flavor. However, this may be
said of factory vinegar, that it has
more uniform quality and in many
cases is superior to homemade vine
gar, because the farmer, not under
standing the processes in vinegar
making, makes many mistakes.
The first requisite is good, ripe ap-
pies. Green apples or rotten ones are
unfit for vinegar-making. The larger
the sugar content of the apples, other
things being equal, the better the vine
gar made from them. Sweet apples
do not necessarily contain more sugar
than the sour ones, for the difference
between sweet and sour apples is
owing to the presence or absence OF
malic acid. Ben Davis apples are low
in sugar content, while Jonathan,
Baldwin, Spitzenburg and Rome
Beauty apples are high in this respect
The apples must be ripe, for in the
process of ripening the starch in the
green apples is converted into sugar
Rotten apples have lost much of their
sugar. The apples should be clean,
hence the custom of throwing dirty
and half-rotten apples into the cider
mill in securing cider for vinegar-mak-
ing cannot be too severely condemned
The cider mill and the casks to hold
the cider should be clean Dirt should
be removed, not simply because OF the
filth. but because it to some extent
retards the formation of high-class
vinegar.
