Teddy McGeary's
Skull Fractured

Teddy" McGeary, ten year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. E.W. McGeary,
was very seriously injured last Tues
day by being hit on the head by the
revolving plank on the contrivance
called the flying Dutchman" on
the play ground at No. | school
house. The plank hit Teddie just
above the right ear, fracturing the
skull for several inches and causing
it to press upon the brain. The lit.
tie fellow rose almost Immediately
and made little complaint, even as
suring the teacher that he was not
much hurt. He was taken home
as soon as possible, however, and af-
ter an hour or so became uncon-
scious and little later went into
convulsions. DR.. Reed was called
and soon discovered that the skull
was fractured. Doctors Wright and
Capron were sent for to assist in the
delicate operation known as tire
panning." A piece of the skull
about the size Of twenty-five cent
piece was removed and more was
raised to relieve the pressure upon
the brain. Soon after the operation,
which occupied about two hours,
was concluded, the sturdy little chap
recovered consciousness and seemed
to suffer little pain. DR.. Reed is
staying with the boy nights and a
trained nurse is in attendance in the
day time. While the injury is SER
ious the doctor thinks there is little
doubt that Teddy will soon be "as
good as new. =

Big Fruit Crop
On Pacific Coast

TrVT -
The splendid prospects for fruit
IN New England and the Pacific
coast states almost counterbalance
the poor showing of the Central
states, where early frost got in tell
ing work, according to a report
made public by the department of
agriculture on general crop growth.
The condition Of the apple crop is
reported to be more than 8 points
below last year, or So per cent. as
compared with a normal condition
The ten-year average for apples is
69.8 per cent. In New England
and on the Pacific coast the CROP
promises to be immnese, but in such
big apple states as Ohio and Mis-.
souri, there will be ONLY about one
third Of crop. On the other hand
the peach crop, due to the excellent
prospects in Georgia and Delaware,
promises to be larger than last year,
the condition on June / being 62
per cent, as compared with 81. l
per cent. last year, and ten-year
average of 65 per cent. The Central
states will produce a poor crop, it
appears now.

High Cost Of Living
Monthly Goes Higher

Beginning with September, 1908,
there has been a monthly increase
in wholesale prices without a break
up to March, 1910, and during the
latter month the prices were higher
than at any time in the preceding
twenty years, according to report
just issued by the bureau of labor
at Washington.
The report, which is based upon
an investigation of 257 commodi.
ties, says that wholesale prices dur.
ing March, 1910, were rs per cent,
higher than in March, 1909; 1O.s
per cent higher than in August,
1908; 21.l per cent higher than the
average yearly price for 1900; 49.2
per cent higher than the average
yearly price of 1897, and 1873 per
cent higher than the average price
for the ten years 189O-1899 inclu-
sive.
The wholesale prices Of 1909 ad-
vanced 3 per cent over the prices of
1908, but with this advance they
were still 2.3 per cent below the
average of 1907.
Of the 257 articles investigated,
125 showed, an increase in the NOV
ing price for 1909 as compared with
1908; thirty-one showed no change
and 1O1 showed a decrease.

The berries were grown by Mrs. War

have ever seen. The largest berry
measures nine and one half inches in

six and one-half, six, five and three
quarters,s six and half and the next
three six inches each, the circumfer-

being fifty-nine and one-fourth IN

Geo. w. Meyer, the well known
Orcas fruitgrower, was a business
visitor in town Wednesday. He re-
ports that his crop of D'Anjou pears
will be very light this season owing
to the ravages of the red spider, an
insect SO small that it is impossible
to see them without the aid Of q
strong magnifying glass. Their
deadly work is usually accomplished
before one realizes their presence
on the trees or shrubbery that they
may attack. The lime and sulphur
spray is one Of the best means OF
getting rid of them. As this is also
an off year for his big crop OF Bell
flower apples, and as these and
the pears are nearly all he raises ne
does not expect much Of an income
from his orchard this season.

. New JAG Cure-AppIes.

The w. c. T. L. of Cook county

apples. 1t has discovered that the
agent which caused the fall of the
human race may now regenerate II.
Dr. Samuel Bailey, of Mount Ayr,
Iowa. has been experimenting on the
antibooze qualities of apples. lie has
cured hundreds of drinkers by feeding
them apples when they wanted TO
drink. The women are sending out
thousands of leaflets, which read:
THE use of apples as an article OF
diet will very much diminish. de-
crease. and ultimately abate the APP

THAT this is a fact could be prov

is rarely a consumer of apples. There
seems to be a peculiar combination

so called appetite. produced by the

Il seems TO be foregone conclusion

cate OF nomination az Democratic can
didate for congress was annulled at
ter an investigation had satisfied the
State committee that the certificate
was tainted by fraud. and Congress
man Harry l.. Maynard. Mr. Youngs
unsuccessful opponent. will be in the
field for nomination in the new prl-
mary TO be arranged for by the dis
trict committee. And, in spite OF the'
revelations concerning the original
primary-proving that the supporters
OF each candidate attempted to steai
the nomination and that Mr.. Young
won on the face of the returns only
because his henchmen came nearer
guessing how many votes would be
needed-Young and Maynard will be
given powerful support in Norfolk and
Portsmouth, respectively. and per
haps elsewhere in the district.
Therefore 1t benooyes the people
of the district who STAND for honest
elections and the overthrow OF ring
control to concentrate their forces be
hind a single candidate to make the
race against both of the participants
in the repudiated primary. Unless
this Is done either Maynard or Young
very likely will walk eff with the new
nomination certificate. There Is a.
strong feeling in the district against
the ring and against both Maynard
and Young, hut if the ballots OF the
people entertaining this feeling are

didates they will count for nothing.
