Editor The Ranch:
The growers generally do not ap-
preciate the fact that in this State we
grow varieties of cherries that can be
shipped to the Chicago market with
out refrigeration, and the Eastern
buyers do not know that from our
growers they can obtain continuous
supply of cherries from June until
October.
In order that this branch of fruit
growing may be given the prominence
it deserves, the State will undertake
to carry a continuous exhibit of cher
ries from June to October, and to fea-
ture berries, grapes and other fruits
in their booth at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific Exposition. If by these means
we can open new market for any of
your fruits, we think the return to
growers will be such as to warrant
your best efforts in assisting us to
successfully carry out the plan out
lined above by securing fruits in your
district for this exhibit.
To encourage shipments, the State
will offer $25, $15 and $40 prizes for
the best exhibits sent us from any
county or district at any time during
the month of June, and like awards
for each month of the Exposition.
These exhibits may include cherries,
berries, grapes, apricots, plums,
peaches and pears-any or all of
them; but we are especially anxious
to have cherries sent in.
In addition, the State will make en-
try in the name-if given-of the
grower, SO that his part of the exhibit
may have chance to win one of the
medal awards of the Exposition. To
win a medal award, the grower may,
if he prefers, send parts of his exhibit
at different times during the season.
Credit will be given him for each
separate shipment. This plan will
give each county a chance at some
time to show the fruits of their dis
trict in their season.
Please confer with, others interest
ed and advise us what you think we
may expect from your district. We
cannot do anything without your as
SiStance.
Shipments should be made to w. A.
Halteman, Executive Commissioner
for State Booth, Alaska Yukon-Pacific
Exposition. Transportation will be
paid here by the State.
We will also offer prizes different
weeks during the season for the best
five plates of some one variety of
apples; and the following week, a
prize for some other variety of ap-
pies or fruit, and for the largest ap-
pies, and for grains and vegetables.

What It Has Accomplished.

The men who have guided its destiny,
and who have been closely allied to every
interest connected with the organization,
IT IL declared, have been of the best
citizenship, representative, intellectual
philanthropic and educational. They have
built and endowed. under its auspices,
an orphan home IN Cleveland, Ohio. in
Atlanta, Ga. in San Francisco. Cal. and
in New Orleans. La. the Old Folks
Home at Yonkers. n. Y, and institu-
lions OF similar character In all parts
of Europe. In addition, thereto they
have instituted technical and manual
training schools, and are aiding and sup
porting educational and philanthropic en-
terprises everywhere.
The orphan aSylums alluded to have
educated the boys and girls, and have
sent them forth as splendid examples of
American citizenship. Some of the most
noted rabbis of the country were edu-
Gated in the Orphans Home at Cleveland
and Atlanta, as have been lawyers and
doctors, mechanicians, electricians, scien-
lists, teachers of normal schools and
also contributes vast sums in caring for
the widows.
Millions in the way OF help have been
contributed to the needy and suffering.
In every calamity to the country-in Chi
cago. Boston, San Francisco. Galveston
or abroad-the order has been prominent
and liberal in its contributions, and has
shown its cosmopolitan spirit in being al
ways ready to assist those who were not
members of the organization. All the in
situations 1t has endowed and under Its
support, IT is stated, are open to the
general Jewish public, whether they are
members of the order or not.

ligious liberty the citizens of this country
enjoy the order erected at Paramount

made by Moseley Ezekiel. on religious
liberty. to typify the love Of and for that
glorious inheritance OF free men.
The order created the Roumanian mis-

years to establish the Jew In his rights
as citizen. 1t has battled in every COM
munity for the rights of humanity and
for the recognition of the Jew as a man
and citizen. 1t contributes annually
large sums to the National Jewish Hos

Killing at Lamb.

Burford Profit, a young man
about twenty years of age, was
instantly killed at Lamb, in Mon
roe county, Sunday afternoon,
by John Carver, another young
man about the same age. Re-
ports as to the circumstances
leading up to the killing are con-
fiicting and the truth seems i'm
possible to find out. But enough
is known to show That the differ
ence between the two young men
were frivolous, except that both
are said to have been reckless
drinking young fellows. 1t is
told that Profitt had just been to
the stillhouse of Mr.. Wood and
and had loaded up on the rotton
stuff on Sunday, mind you-be

ffitt was accompanied by Mr..

Carver with a whip and that

Taft For Good Roads.
A dispatch from Washington

A dispatch from Washington
says:
President William Howard
Taft today gave further evidence
that he was strongly in favor of
good roads. It has been gener-
ally known that the Chief Exc
cutive was an advocate of i'm
provement of highways through
out the country, but the latest
proof comes in the form of a let
ter, which clearly shows the
Presidents stand along lines of
such movements.
Mr.. Taft's latest expression of
good roads advocation is in con-
nection with a movement for
good roads in Virginia. The plan
is to build an improved road from
Washington to Richmond, which
has been started by prominent
men of both cities and several
outsiders.
In letter on the subject
President Taft says:
Il regard this as a part of the
general good road movement in
this country and l take pleasure
in saying that there is no move
ment of which I know that will
have more direct effect in all
eviating the difficulties and bur-
dens of the farmers life and that
will stimulate traffic and add to
the general happiness of the peo-
pie more than the establishment
of good roads throughout the
country.
Il do not think that because
this may have been stimulated
by people using automobiles it is
to be frowned upon, for while
persons using automobiles are by
no means the most important in
the community, the fact that
their sharp interest has focused
the attention of the public upon
the movement entities them tc
credit.
