better than at any time this season. Aside
from the lineup, we will have the biggest
crowd of rooters of the season. The d.
rectors of the association and number oil
the faithful "fans" are interesting them
selves personally towards getting the
crowd out and to maintain order. Ad-
mission for both games twenty cents,

going to the first game will be required to
pay twenty cents. Should they be I'M
able to stay to the second, refund OF live

for series of three games during the fair.

The U. s. Government in its "Pure
Food Law" does not endorse" or guar
antee" any preparation, as some manu-
facturers in their advertisements would
make it appear In the case OF medicines
the law provides that certain drugs shall
be mentioned on the labels. if they are
ingredients of the preparations. Ely's
Cream Balm, the well-known family rem
edy for cold in the head, hay fever and
nasal catarrh, doesn't contain a single in
furious drug, so the makers have simply
TO print the fact that il complies fully with
all the requirements OF the law.

WHILE the apple crop is only about
one half of a full crop in Jefferson coun-
~, and not quite up to its usual quality,
yet it will bring in large sum OF lmoney
TO our fruit growers. Buyers are coming
from the large cities, north, west and south.
II looks as il the southern cities will event.
ually become fine market for our East
ern Panhandle apples. They say that the
flavor OF the Virginia apples surpaSSeS all
others, and when our fruit-growers give
the care and treatment TO their orchards
that is shown in Oregon and Colorado,
the Valley of Virginia will equal if not
surpaSS these sections in appearance,
quality and quantity in the markets OF
the world. Prices this season are equal
TO those Of two years ago-$1.50 to 1925
per barrel-and some parties have sold
at even higher prices. Nearly forty
years ago DR.. Border at this end OF the
county and DR.. Thomson in the southern
part, unknown to each other at the time,
foreseeing the great future of apple cul-
ture, were the first to plant commercial
orchards. Old fogeS laughed at such an
idea, but soon others saw that there was
something in it. They themselves began
planting, and today there are thousands
OF acres in orchards, bringing in thous-
andS of dollars to our farmers. The en-
terpriSe is still in its infancy, is the opin-
ion OF many persons. The beautiful
homesteads, big barns and good bank &C
counts tell the story of the new prosper
ity brought by the apple. Those gen.
tlemen who were the pioneers in this
great industry deserve the thanks OF their
neighbors and OF generations yet to come.

AROUND THE HORN
During Terrific Storm Young Woman
Sets Broken Bones and Acts as
Nurse Aboard Fathers
Big Ship
[By Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Miss Augusta
V. Park, an attractive young woman
of Oakland, Cal, is the heroine of a
storm-fraught voyage which her
fathers big American sailing ship the
Acme has just completed.
1t Tired 12S days for the Acme to
round the Horn from San Francisco
to this port and during that time the
vessel experienced many adversities.
Miss Park shipped as a companion
for her father, but before the voyage
was finished she had become skilled
as a surgeon. nurse, cook, seamstress
sailor and fisherWoman.
After rounding the Horn the Acme
ran into a terrific storm, during which
the first mate was hurled from the
wheel, his arm being broken in two
places and his right hand split open.
While the storm ragged Miss Park
set the broken bones, mended the hand
and put the arm in splints, and since
then she has served as trained nurse
to the mate.
In other storms many of the sails
were carried away and the decks were
under water, but at no time did the
young woman display the least symp-
tom of fright.

AVIATOR SHOWS
HOW TO ALIGHT
WILBUR WRIGHT GIVES MEN
DEMONSTRATION
Aeroplane Makes Successful Flight
After Wind Subsides-Stays in
Air for Over Thirteen
Minutes

COLLEGE PARK, Md, Oct. 25.-
Wilbur Wright today demonstrated his
ability to glide to earth in his aero
plane after shutting off his motor. The
performance was for the edihcation of
his pupils, Lieuts. Lahm, Foulers and
Humphreys.
The high wind that had prevailed
throughout the day had spent its force
at o'clock and shortly afterward the
machine was taken out to the start
ing track.
Following a false start the aero
plane got away with Mr. Wright op-
Grating it and Lieutenant Foulers in
the passengers seat.
The machine was aloft for thirteen
minutes and thirty seconds. This flight
was made to test the motor, which was
run at three-fourths speed.
In the next fight Lieutenant Hum
phreys went with Mr.. Wright and OPP
Grated the aeroplane for most of the
ten minutes and twenty-five seconds
that the machine swung around the
field. Lieutenant Lahm then relieved
Lieutenant Humphreys and a flight of
eighteen minutes and fifteen seconds
was made. 1t was after this fight
that Mr.. Wright started off unaccom-
panied.
He shut off the motor when he had
reached a. height of $50 feet, and glided
to earth in approximately thirteen
seconds without a mishap.
