simple directions for getting up club. Boys
and girls ought to sign this pledge, which I will
send you soon as get some printed 81

I come in contact; to try to make this world
better place to live in; to comfort and aid the

creatures; to love and honor my parents; to up
hold and protect my country and flag" Besides
being ready to give nickel a dime sometimes,
when they can spare it, to those who really in

THREAT MADE To
MAR GIRLS FACE
Miss Frances Gurtland ANNOYED
and Insulted by Unknown
Young Man

A case that might terminate the
same as that of pretty Ruth Frances
Wilson, who had vitriol thrown in her
face by James Trainor, alias Redfern,
was brought to the attention of the
police yesterday. Miss Frances Curt
land pretty girl living at 1856 Eigh-
teenth street, complained that for
weeks she had been annoyed and in
suited by an unknown young man
while going home from her work at
nights, and that on Sunday night he
had forced her to give him her silver
purse which contained 81. He had also
sent her a letter threatening to de-
stroy her face. She did not know his
name, but described him as follows:
About &c years of age, feet, 8 or 10
inches tall, sallow complexion and
wearing a long black overcoat and
black derby hat. Detectives Burke and
Richards have been detailed on the
case with instructions to keep a sharp
lookout for the thief.
The letter which she received on
Wednesday is as follows:
Miss Fsnnie-well. pretty little girl. did I

working girl. ! know you need the money, but

PLANT RIDICULES
SUITS IN PATENTS
Head of Shoe Company Says
Attempt to Get Damages
Is LudicrOus

Thomas @. Plant, when asked about
the patent suits just filed against him
and the Plant company by the United
Shoe Machinery company, said:
''Of the four patents on which suits
have been brought, one does not relate
to shoe machinery. The other three
cover small and unimportant details;
one of these, recently procured by the
United company for litigation purposes,
was offered to me at a nominal price
and declined. Only one of the patents
sued on has ever been used by the
United company. All four of them
were considered by my patent attor-
neys while | was building my line of
Wonder Workers They advised me
that, trifing and unimportant as the
patents are, l infringe no one of them
When, several months ago, the Plant
company threw out the United COM
pany's machines and installed the Won
der Workers, reports were current that
an avalanche of patent suits would fol-
low. The stock holders of the United
company have thus been comforted
through months of delay. If this dis
play of suits is what they have waited
for, they must indeed fear that the
United company's boasted patent mo-
nopoly is as unreal as l have claimed
it to be.
IF these suits represent all that the
the United company's patent at
torneys after years of dihgent
search, can find against my line of
machinery, the impregnability of my
position is demonstrated. If, on the
other hand, they still have infringe
ment suits which they honestly believe
they have any reasonable chance of
winning. l should be glad to have them
filed at once. To any one who has the
slightest knowledge of the real stu
alton this first attempt is most
ludicrous"

else that could have been devised. For
years this productive SECTION has been
turning out great crops of splendid
fruits and berries and it has hardly
been heard from. AS one enthusiastic
citizen expressed it on the opening
night of the apple show. "A new Sc
bastopol has been born" And so il
would seem.
The people have worked with a will
TO make their first apple show an un-
qualified success, and they have sue
ceeded beyond their fondest expecta-
tions. Never before was a maiden eff
fort fraught by such instantaneous rec
ognition as this fair now drawing to
a close The directors have been i'm
portuned to permit the fair to run sew
eral days longer than had been orig
inally planned but they see no good
reason for continuing it at present
Thousands upon thousands of visitors
from all over this section and from a
distance will have viewed and admired
the display before the final closing
Saturday evening.
One thing that has impressed itself
on the mana cement of the fair is that
in the mammoth tent that they secured
they had grossly insufficient room to
permit spectators to. view the beauti-
full designs with comfort. Another
year viii see this matter remedied in
the large pavilion the directors are
now planning TO build. 1t has been
estimated that the pavilion could be
made to pay reasonable interest on the
investment, and the people are looking
with favor on the project.
The energetic people of Cloverdale,
whose citrus fairs were the first ex-
hibitions of fruits to be made in this
state, have owned their pavilion for
many years and Sebastopol with her
apple fairs can duplicate the success
of the city on Sonoma county's north
ern boundary.
