strenuous effort was made to dispose
Of the goods, but the effort failed.
Time wore on, and while California
wanted remittance Mississippi called
attention to the fact that the goods
were on hand, and that therefore, un
der the agreement, nothing was due
on the unsold goods.
The fruits were at the disposal of
the Californians, but they didn't want
the goods SO much as the money and
they were left in storage here To set
tie the matter amicably, a sort of ar
bitratiCn arrangement was effected
and a conference called to settle the
controversy
This is composed of three members
Of the national committee, State Pres
ident Hightower and three members
Of the Mississippi executive board.
Committee Named.
Hon. s. l.. Wilson, of Van Vleet, is
the Mississippi representative on the
national board present. John Grady
of Paducah, KY, and o. F. Dornblaser
OF Cleborne, Tex, are the two Other
members. California has no executive
committeeman present, but Mr.. Welct
himself, who is now the state organ
fzer there, is present in an effort tc
have Mississippi pay the bill. Besides
these President Hightower and Elk
ecutive Committeeman J. A. Jones
OF McComb City, and Orange Herring
ton, of Ellisville, are looking after the
interests of the state execute board.
The case is one arising out of what
seems to be an honest difference Of
opinion, and since nobody has profit
ed by the loss of the goods or the
failure to dispose of them, much de
ponds upon the construction of the
contract, or the understanding had at
the time the goods were ordered
shipped. This is the purpose Of the
conference, and it is likely that, no
matter which way the question is de-
gided, there will be no unfriendly feel
ing about it.

In CONSTANT FLOW
SAMOAN VOLCANO POURS LAVA
INTO OCEAN.
Only Four Years Old, But 1t Is Easily
the Titan of Them All-New
Coast Line Is Being
Created.

In the island of Savaii, in the Sa.
moan group, during an August night
in the year 1905 there arose from the
midst of a peaceful cocoa plantation
volcano that in four years of its
still ceaseless activity has sent forth
more molten lava than has any vol.
cano of which there is record.
To-day this flow of lava, in some
places 700 feet in depth, is filling up
the sea along frontage OF more than
seven miles, has destroyed about 30
villages and as many square miles OF
what was once the most productive
area in all Samoa. From Apia, about
so miles away on the island of Upolo,
it is sometimes possible to read at
night by the glare Of the Savaiian vol
cano, whose twin pillars of vapor by
day become columns of red.
Above the ever seething lake of fire
within the crater hangs a great GRIM
son cloud while eight miles distant
from the volcanic cone appears less
er cloud. sometimes divided into many
columns of apparent fire. 1t is but
the steam arising from the sea, col
ored by the red glowing lava that
pours Niagara of fire over the ellis
that the ceaseless torrent of molten
rock builds higher and higher every
day. The ocean steamers touching at
Apia pass within close hailing dis
lance of this dramatic spectacle.
Scientists who have seen the most
recent flow say that every minute
100000 tons of lava flow over the
lower rim of the crater; and this not
resembling in any way the other la
va, but like molten iron spreads over
the old field and beyond until at, the
sea there is a Niagara of fire full ten
| miles in width. AS this molten lava
falls into the ocean, says Harper's
Weekly, 1t turns to fine black sand
and sinks, and so a new coast line is
being built up in water 800 to 40C
| feet deep.
This moving molten lake advances
at the rate of four miles an hour. AS
1t pours itself into the sea columns
of water are raised in steam to meal
culable heights, and this, descending
in a fine rain of brine, destroys vege
tation and corrodes the galvanized
iron roofings of churches and trading
stations for miles around.
AS the torrents of boiling lava
break against the basalt cliffs or hum
mocks left by the old flow cliffs are
melted by the heat, hummocks disin
, tegrated and carried forward by the
flow to be hurled into the sea, where
they explode like Titanic bombs, and
this is taking place every moment
along an ever widening sea front o.
ten miles at least. For more than 6
r,ile out in the ocean the water boils
and from the crater still flows G
steady stream of lava greater, it IL
said, than man has ever seen in the
| past issue from any volcano of which
| there is record.
Never once since that night foul
years ago, when this volcano was
born in a peaceful valley, has it re
manned for a moment quiescent.

Five Years
of Heart Trouble Cured by
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy

Before l began taking DR..
Miles Heart Remedy I had been
suffering from heart trouble for
over five years. I had pains in
my left side, and under my
shoulder blade, could not sleep
ON the left side, and was so short
of breath the least exertion
would bring on the most distress
ing palpitation. I had scarcely
taken a half bottle of the Heart
Remedy before I could see
marked change in my condition.
When I had taken six bottles I
was cured"
MRS. c. C. GORKEY,

If there is futtering or palpi-
tation it is an indication of
weakness of the nerves and MUS

sarily diseased-just weak from
over-work. The heart may be
weak just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs. You
can make a weak heart strong

Pruning.
T H E AP p L E.

With the young orchard we'll grown,
the pruner has probably solved the
most difficult problem IN the pruning of
the apple orchard; the principles in
volved in the pruning of the old orchard
are not complicated. Nearly all of our
standard commercial varieties of apple
tend to overbear in Colorado, and one
of the fist objects Of the pruner should
be to overcome this tendency; the more
prolific the variety the heavier the
pruning. To be an intelligent pruner
one must also acquaint himself with
the habits of growth of the different
varieties, as well as the habits of fruit
bearing. Upright-growers will require
pruning to spread them, and struggling
growers such heading in as will make
them grow more upright. The head
should be kept reasonably open and
well supplied with fruiting wood
throughout. The idea of the open
head, however, can be overdone.
A discussion of the amount of prun-
ing required by different varieties
could almost as we'll be introduced as
those on the pruning of different
kinds of fruit trees. Yet, the growth
of the tree, and necessarily the pruning
depends much upon soil conditions; and,
while it might be possible, it would
hardly be safe to lay d,wn definite
rules for the pruning of any particular
variety. Both the Ninesap and Mis-

falls heir than that of the absence of
fruiting wood in its lower parts. Such
wood below can only be maintained by
vigorous pruning the top. The center
should also be well filled with fruiting
wood, as space may be unnecessarily
wasted by training the top too open:
the open center is not necessity in
our arid sectious where we enjoy an
abundance of sunshine. The fruiting
wood in the center of the tree will
hardly appear as strong as that nearer
the tips, but, nevertheless, some of
our best fruit comes from short and
apparently weak spurs along the large

pruning thinning out the new wood in

strengthen the wood remaining. but

him up again, and the only thing
they could think of to protect him
against the rain was to varnish him.
So they vanished him. They gave
him one coat of varnish that evening,
and said they would give him another
coat in the morning, and then rub
him we'll with pumice stone, to give
him high polish, and after that they
would have no more trouble; all they
would have to do would be to rub
him over with furniture polish on a
soft rag every Wednesday. But the
next morning when they went out to
give him the second coat he hadn't
dried. The varnish seemed just as
sticky as ever. So, as they didn't
know what else to do, they sent for
Jiggers Duff, our popular painter and
he shook his head and said he didn't
see that he could do anything. He
said there should have been more
dryer in the varnish, but that accord
ing to his idea they hadn't ought to
have dyed Jabez at all-if they had
wanted real good job they should
have given him two or three coats
of fiat green paint But he said he
guessed Jabez would dry sometime.
He said maybe it would take month,
and maybe year, and that Jabez
would always be rather sticky, and
that if he did dry up he would never
be able to smile again, for as sure
as he did he would crack the varnish.
Jabez said that was all right, that he
felt right then as if he would never
smile again anyway
But it turned out all right. The
sand and dust blew against Jabez and
gave him finish like gravel roof.
and letting her dress and upholstery
get dusty too, Aunt Rhinocolura had
a pretty good harmony And when ia
bez wants to sandpaper anything all
he has to do is to rub it lovingly with
his cheek.

inharmonious, and she dyed his hair
accordingly.
1t was a proud moment for her and
Jabez when they took their first drive.
Aunt Rhinocolura had the blessed sat
isfaction of knowing she was right in
style, and Jabez had the satisfaction
of knowing he matched the uphol-
stery as we'll as possible. It was af'
fecting to see him lay his hand on
the cushion of his seat and gaze at it
with honest pride, and all would have
been we'll if it hadn't come on to- rain.
AS soon as it began to rain Aunt
Rhinocolura told Jabez to drive home
as fast as he could, for she had
doubts about the dye being fast
color, seeing it had not been boiled
into his complexion, and Jabez
whipped up, but the rain poured down
on slant, right into his face AID on
his hands, and when he reached the
barn he was bright and beautiful
blue, with streaks of green nll
through it. He looked like a mar
belized coachman, or an Easter egg.
They went right to work and dyed
