What is the Plural?

What is the plural of grape fruit? Will some resident of the Salt River valley tell us?
 Curiosity on this point is not con- fined to The Republican. It is a question that is bothering editorial minds in the east. The Chicago Post had long and very interesting ar ticle the other day on the rapid growth in the consumption of grape fruit, on the reasons why it is be- coming popular everywhere. and so on. The Washington Herald, and other papers, pointed out that the Post. as usual, side-stepped the plural of this golden fruit This has start ed a renewal of the demand for somebody to come forward and set tie the question.
 Many educated men and women, with long heads in financial matters, are turning their attention to grow ing grape fruit in this valley, but they are paying no attention to the problem of plurals. The industry has scarcely passed the stage of in fancy, so far as the total production is concerned, but it has been demon strated thoroughly that grape fruit will do better here than anywhere else in the world. It comes into bearing within two years from the planting of the trees. the crop is phenomenally prolific after the trees mature. the California, Florida, or the West In dies, and is perfection in taste. No body has determined whether it is the soil. the dry, warm summers. or some mysterious agency not yet identified, which makes the grape fruit of the Salt River valley the most delicious on earth, but whatever it may be, the fruit itself is incomparable. It has not the surplus of acid which handicaps the products of other sec tions of the world. and no acquired taste is necessary for it's epprecia- ton. It has just enough acid, in fact. to make it the ideal breakfast fruit So perfectly balanced. indeed, is the sweet and the sour thereof. that to be thoroughly appreciated it should be eaten without sugar. As it becomes better known. the grape fruit of this valley is bound to be- come a strong rival of the orange in the eastern markets. Growers everywhere recognize it as a fruit which has a wide field before it. be- cause of the rapidity with which it is coming into favor. because it will stand at least ten degrees more frost than the orange, and because it is sure to be one of the most profita- ble fruits that can be grown on high priced land.
 everybody shall know how to speak of grape fruit in the plural. When the housewife telephones to the gro cer, shall she say: Send me a dozen grape fruits?" Or should it be a dozen grape fruit? Maybe there is still another way of fixing the plural Of course the lady of the house dodges the problem by saying. sim ply, Send me a dollars worth of grape fruit" and that serves her purpose But a grave question has been raised by the high hrows of the

settle it for them. We earnestly sug- gest that the cultivated people who are starting on the road to riches by growing grape fruit in this valley should come to our assistance ana help the eastern brethren to avoid nervous prostration by telling them what is the plural of this citrus
 wonder.

holders try to defend 1t. Indeed,
the Republicans seem to be most
resentful, for they feel it is up to
them to apologize for it, and they
don't like the last. They make
no attempt to excuse the Republi-

my opinion no successful attempt

Appear to Have a Cure for
tuberculosis.

Most likely all of our readers
have heard something about the
Natures Creation treatment for
tuberculosis, which is meeting
with wonderful success at Colum-
bus, in the treatment of consump-
tion. The company has up to this
time made no effort to prove to
sufferers outside of Columbus that
their treatment really cures, as
they have not been equipped for
handling any volume of out. of-town
cases. However, they have of late
greatly enlarged their capital,
which is now 5000, 900, and they
are in position to give sufferers
from this county the best Of at
tention.
Beginning today the company
will publish in every issue of this
paper testimonial from some one
who has been cured by their treat
ment. These testimonials will be
reproduced from handsome book
let which they have lately gotten
out. 1t contains fifty testimon-
ials, with photos and signatures,
and will be of great interest to
every sufferer. The tes timonials
are most all from residents of Co.
lumbus and vicinity, so tits an
easy matter to see these people
personally. The company Will up.
on request send the booklet with
out charge.
After noting the wonderful re-
suits from this treatment many
will wonder why physicians do not
prescribe or recommend it. The
company explains this very plain
ly. The treatment is secret and
physicians refuse to have any
thing to do with any treatment or
medicine the ingredients of which
are not known to them. This al
so accounts for why the treatment

results are obtained by mail.

A MAJOR AND
A MASHER,
The Gruff Old Soldier Conquered
In Spite of Himself.
BY SUSAN H. ENplcoTT.


copyright, 1900, by Associated Literary
Press.l
Major James Godfrey, o. s. A., re-
tired and living in his own villa with
wife and daughter, had several fads
and fancies to keep the family and the
neighbors busy, but one particular fad
was destined to get him into trouble
sooner or later.
He could read in his morning paper
with the greatest equanimity of mur-
ders, robberles, assaults, thefts and
burnings at the stake, but when he
came across an item about masher
he fired up at once and shouted out
that he would give $500 out of his own
pocket to see the scoundrel lynched or
sent to prison for life.
His daughter used to look at him In
wonder when he broke out in this
fashion, while the wife was discreet
ly silent. Perhaps the latter had flrt-
ed bit before giving her heart to the
major and he was remembering 1t in
his old age.
For three months Miss Kate had
wanted to attend an art school in the
city and receive instructions. During
those three months there happened to
be an unusual number of "mashes" re-
corded in the papers, and the father
would not hear Of her even running up
to town to do little shopping unless
he or the mother went along. He
was as firm as the rock of Gibraltar.
After time, however, the record be-
gan to peter out, and as he was pleas
ed with what his daughter had already
done with the brush and had hopes OF
her future the major finally gave his
consent. 1t was only eight miles to
the city, and then a street car would
take her right to the doors Of the
school. All she had to do, going and
coming. as the father told her over and
over, was to keep her eyes cast down
and her purse clutched tightly In her
hand.
Unknown TO her. he took the same
train to the city with her for week,
and then, ms nothing happened and his
rheumatism got worse, he left her to
make her way alone.
Two weeks had passed when Miss
Kate came home one afternoon In q
hutter. Her mother happened to be
out. and she must tell some one. She
therefore related to the father that
while on the street car en- route to the
depot and home some thief had snip
ped the chain of her purse and borne
the prize away. The prize held her
return ticket aud dime.
At the depot she found her tears
falling, but good Samaritan had
come forward and handed her change
enough for the fare. She couldn't ex-
actly say whether he was a grand
father or young man. homely or good
looking. He had spoken only few
words and lifted his hat and retired.
1t might have been q white hat or
black one-she could not tell. Obey
Ing her father, she had kept her eyes
on the hoor, aud they were filled with
tears besides.
The major heard the story TO the
end, and then he roared. The man
who had taken pity on her financial
condition at the depot was a mashsr.

1t would be a most unfortunate
event if, by the influence of the
President, any decision of the courts
should intefere with the results which
the suffrage amendment has accom-
plished in the South. and which will,
if undisturbed, result in the correc-
tion of a great wrong visited upon a
helpless people. The indiscriminate
qualification to vote upon the negro
race was the great blunder of the
nineteenth century. This has been
corrected in just and rational man.
ner, and any action from any
source which would impede the prog
ress of this wise and just law would
be unfortunate. This was law
which the best interests of both races
demanded; and, so far as the South is
concerned, if the present arrangement
we're disturbed it would be found at
once trying to devise something else
that would reach the some end.
1t is lust as hard to annul good
law-one that is supported by the
highest intelligence and subserves
good and just purpose-as it is to
enforce one of no practical utility,
and concerning the necessity OF
which there is no unanimity OF senti-
ment.
The suffrage amendment. in some
such form as it now prevails. is here
to stay, and all efforts to Illustrate it
will meet with the most decided op-
position.
