rels in 1896.
There were periods In the history
Of apple growing in America when
the fruit was drug on the market.
That was before orcharding became
an established industry in the north
west. Eastern farmers then did not
have to grow apples; in fact, all they
did was to pick them from the trees
and dump them into barrels. Time
worked changes and the apples Of
Washington and Oregon gradually
found their way eastward. They
created a market for themselves,
limited as it was, and the growers
began to extend their orchards, and
make a business of apple culture.
Conditions developed the fact that
much better apple could be grown
by intelligent cultivation than by the
haphazard method of letting the
trees take care of themselves. The

northwest were received with favor,
not only at home, but also abroad,
and when the people found the bet
ter apple, they were no longer salts
fled with the inferior fruit. They
demanded the best, and, in many in
stances, the growers were not pre-
pared to supply the new standard.
They were not equal to the task of
improving their orchards; they per-
mitted their trees to run down, and
as a result the fruit became so un-
attractive that it could not be sold,
and thus the position of supremacy
gradually slipped away.
Apples were so plentiful and cheap
in the New England and other east
ern states from 1895 to 1897 and in
1899 ana 1900 that farmers with Or
chards would not invest money in
what appeared to them to be an un-
profitable crop, and they gave little
or no attention to the gradually
changing conditions. Those were the
days when apples brought from 40
cents to a dollar a barrel. The high
er figure was paid for fruit then
graded as fancy. Then there was
improvement in the appearance and
texture of the fruit and the demand
became stronger and soon there were
no cheap apples. The crops of east
ern orchards were not sufficient to
supply the demand and growers in
| the western states found it profitable
to ship their apples thousands OF
miles to the markets once controlled
almost exclusively by growers in the
| New England states.
There has been an awakening in
the east, more especially throughout
New England, but neither this MOI
the coming generations will see the
day when the eastern growers can
again hold the markets of the world

to improve their apples. The western
growers have outstripped their east
ern brethren by the adoption of mod
ern methods In cultivation and have
sent to the markets cleaner ana more
attractive fruit. honestly packed and
guaranteed as to condition and quail
ity, and with these important advan-
tages their products will always be
in demand at good prices.

that in none of the cases were the
hair roots dead nor had the scalp

When the roots Of the hair are
entirely dead and the pores of the

When Rexall ''93" Hair Tonic

strange that we have such great

MAGNESS TO BE FREED.
Mrs. Magness win Be First to Greet
Her Husband After Freedom.

Portsmouth, N. H, July 16.-The
gates Of the naval prison here will be
opened tomorrow morning for the re-
lease Of Charles Magness, who was ar
rested for desertion from the navy a
few days after he married Miss Ada
German, daughter of the late Senator
Arthur P. German, of Maryland. Mrs
Magness has arrived here from Balti-
more and will be the first to greet her
husband when he is given his free
dom.
Magness enlisted in the Marine
Corps under the name of Charles J.
Hart1ove and was assigned to the U
S. S. Dolphin at the Washington navy
yard. According to the official rec
ords he deserted in July last and was
arrested at Louisville in October
Much influence was brought to bear
upon the President and the Secretary
of the Navy to get the young man out
of trouble. He was tried and convict
ed, however, and sentenced to be dis
honorably discharged and to be con-
fined at hard labor for one year. The
term of Imprisonment has been re-
duced to eight months by good be-
havior.

FIFTY YEARS OF OUTPUT.

Fifty years ago next month the first
oil well in the world was drilled by
Colonel Drake, near Titusville, Pa,
and from that well has sprung an in
dustry that yields product valued at
more than $10O,000,OOO a year. The
production in this country is well
maintained, and the outlook is prom
Using. No exhaustion of the national
supply can be seen. China, Japan,
Russia. Austria and Mexico have be
come oil-producing countries, and the
United States is producing today but
IS per cent of the worlds annual out
put.
It is not easy to estimate the eff
fects of the use of petroleum in the
fifty years that have elapsed since
that well was driven down at Titus
vile. The oil lamp has supplanted
candles and whale oil; the gasoline
engine is supplanting in many places
steam; the automobile is driving out
horses, and the first Millionaire has
arrived. That Millionaire sprang from
the Titusville oil well. Aviation was
rendered possible by Colonel Drake
when he drilled that well. No mar
exceeded Colonel Drake in drilling
better than he knew. He is dead anc
gone, but~before he left these earthly
scenes he had laid the foundation fol
more changes in material things thar
he could enumerate on his fingers ant

his request the paragraph was printed /
without being read.
Saturday, June 26, Mr.. Aldrich Of
fered a very different amendment. al |
though numbered the same, which. in
answer to the question of Mr.. Bacon,
Mr.. Aldrich stated had been printed. a |
statement which was manifestly mis-
leading. This amendment differed
from that offered the previous day by
adding not only embroideries, but also
including nearly all machine made
1aces. He stated in explanation that
the amendment put specific or COM
pound duties upon certain classes of
laces; that it covered only 1aces made
by machine and did not cover hand
made laces at all. In the brief state
ment made by the chairman of the
finance committee, the fact that the
amendment included embroideries re-
mained undisc1osed, and without de-
bate the amendment in that shape was
adopted by the Senate. Sandwiched
between the consideration of para
graph 131, this amendment covering,
according to the statement of Senator
Aldrich, importations valued at $780,
100000 a year, was adopted apparent
ly without consideration.
Ac Of not d11fu Y1oi6
upon the importation of laces and en-
broideries during the year 1907
amounted to nearly $30,000,000, the
volume of imports being almost $780,
100000. The proposed duty is only
specific upon laces costing less than
five cents a dozen yards, ON which it
ranges from 20 per cent, the same
rate as imposed upon the highest class
of machine-made 1aces, up to $50 per
cent, the duty being higher as the
cost of the lace diminishes.
The mysterious working of the
finance committee in regard to these
articles is further shown by the igno-
rance of some of the most prominent
members of that committee regarding
the contemplated increase. For in
stance as recently as June IL, Senator
Lodge wrote: F'The lace paragraph
has been agreed to in both Senate and
House, and will not be changed. The
old law remains" Other members OF
the finance committee have stated that
as far as they knew it was the inten-
ton of that committee to retain the
Dingley rates.
Thus the Senate is endeavoring fol
the sake of few over-protected man
ufactures to lay an increased burden
upon the women of the land, which OF
laces and embroideries alone i'll :
prosperous year would amount tt
; more than $5,OOO,OOO above the s31
100000 which they have hitherto beer
paying as a tribute to the domestic
manufacturer.

A BURDEN ON THE WOMEN.

The United States Senate has ap-
parently determined to make the
women of the country bear the chief
burden of the tariff increase. The lat
est effort is shown in the successful
attempt of Mr.. Aldrich to raise the
tariff on laces and embroideries from
the present rate Of so per cent, which
as the highest that has ever been !m-
posed under our laws, to rate vary
ing from 20 to $50 per cent. This lat
ter rate falls upon the very cheapest
laces imported, laces that in the Eu-
ropean markets sell at less than two
cents per dozen yards.
The increased duties are not con-
fined, however, to laees, but are i'm
posed equally upon all articles of
which 1aces form even the most in
significant part, and women's under
garments, which are not merely nee
essaries, but part Of the decencies, of
life, will thus be compelled to bear
this additional burden.
The Senate classes 1aces as luxu-
ries, and quite possibly the hand
made laces with which the families of
the senators are familiar may be
classed as such, but the cheapest
grades of laces and embroideries,
which the poorest of the poor feel the
necessity of using, hardly belong to
that category.
The plea that an additional protec-
ton is required by domestic manu-
facturers could hardly be put for
ward with straight face. Marshall
Field & Co., who own one of the larg-
est lace manufacturing plants in this
country at Zion City, ILL.,, in a letter
under date of May IL to the Lace and
Embroidery Review" state: "The In
dustry is now fully protected, or rath-
er, over-protected."
The method by which the proposed
increase was passed In the Senate is
not without significance. Paragraphs
345 and BAG, covering the duties on
laces and embroideries, had twice
been before the Senate for consideTa-
tion and had twice passed that body
sitting in committee Of the whole.
without any attempt to change the
rate which had been fixed at GO per
cent by the House. being the same a.
the Dingley rate.
Friday, June 25, after the introduc-
ton by the finance committee of the
bill to tax corporation incomes, and
while that matter was engaging the
attention of the Senate almost exclu-
siyely, and just as the Senate was
about to adjourn, Mr.. Aldrich offered
an amendment to be known as para
