OUR APPLES SELL
ON ENGLISH MARKET
London Pays Highest Open Market
Price on Record for We
natchee Reds.

American apples tempt the English
buyer. In proof of this statement Al
bert w. Swain, American consul at
Southampton, reports that shipment of
apples from the Wenatchee section of
Washington commanded a higher price
than any other American apples ever
offered in the open English market,
much of the shipment being sold at
from to 10 cents a pound and eagerly
taken at that price. The secret of sue
cess, he says, is for the American ship
per to send good fruit, well packed,
and keep out of an auction, where a
combination may control prices.

SPEAKING OF MONEY.

Man Must Have a Lot If He Takes
Time to Discuss IL PhiIosophicaIly.
Chicago Tribn.kc: There is dispo-
sition in high financial circles to dis
cuss the subject of money gracefully,
intimately. and delightfully."- for the
pleasure and instruction of others who
are so busy trying to get 1t that they
have not much time to think about it
philosophically. A banker speaking OF
cash always has an audience The
topic, IL not the lecturer, commands
respect, but in the recent instances In
which the matter has been considered
we have been forced to wonder what
varieties OF people the financiers are
considering in their theories.
One ir portakt handler of money OBJ
served a lack of castle distinctions
and held 1t responsible for some ex-
travagances. He did not intimate that
distinctions were desirable. but merely
observed that things are as they are.
To illustrate his meaning he called at
tention to the fact that man with a
$4,000 income must have as good an
automobile as a man with a 5000, 900
income.
Other bankers, later coming on
another phase OF the subject, found
this to be a dollar" country, and
that it's sense Of financial proportion
was twisted. If we had something
similar to the French franc or the
German mark, they said. we might
become accustomed to o nloFs eco
nomical manner of wing. The reason
ing OF the bankers IL delightfully."- re-
strictive. 1t ignores SO many people.
1t leaves with an empty fstsGhg the
man who has saved UP SIS with which
to buy good time over Sunday. He
understands that SIS is not really
money IN financial philosophy. When
bankers sit down to discuss cause and
effect they consider the man with a
| $40. 900 income--how shall he escape
! poverty?
| The SIS man, who rubs elbows with
SO many OF his fellow IS men, en-
deavors to understand that he takes
no account of anything under 81 but
/ he can't bring himself to an appre-
citation Of is--not while he IL trying
to decide whether no should buy two
stogies or a 5-cent cigar.
Undoubtedly the bankers are right
but a great many people to whom II

A Stubborn Cinderella is without
question one Of the greatest successes
on the musical comedy stage. 1t
scored a run Of 500 nights at the Prln-
cess theatre, Chicago: played to cs-
pacity houses at the Broadway thea
tire, New York for six months, and was
equally popular in Philadelphia and
Boston, where 1t was presented for
twenty-five consecutive weeks. Mana
ger Chas. A. Goettler has this season
provided cast for A Stubborn Gin
derella that gives it added charm. Cort
Albertson plays the leading part and
the prina donna role is i'm the hands
OF Hazel Kirke. A big chorus of show
girls with good voices and pretty faces
adds much towards making the show a
success. A number OF genuine song
hits are introduced during the per-
