ASSOCIATION TOBACCO Being
DELIVERED.
These Good Prices Show Why the
Farmers Should Stick to The
Association.

During the month Of January the
deliveries Of tobacco here in Marion
have been quite heavy. Thirty,
forty or fifty loads come into town
every day. The greater part Of the
tobacco goes to the Stemming Dis.
trict Tobacco Association at the
Jarvis factory.
While the prices have not in all
cases been as high as had been
hoped for, the farmers as a rule seem
fairy we'll pleased with the situation
The farmers are especially delighted
with the courtesies shown to them
by Mr.. Head, the we'll known tobacco
merchant Of jacksonville, who pur.

tobacco from the Stemming District

We give below the grades received
by some Of the leading farmers of

Great Northern Pays Damages

Claims amounting to $17,500 filed
with the claim department OF the Great
Northern by Attorney H. S. Davis fol-
citizens OF Krupp, who were burned
out by fire last August, have been
allowed and the money has been paid
to the claimants.
After the big fire that almost wiped
Krupp off the map on the 25th Of
August and which was undoubtedly
caused by sparks from Great Northern
engine, number of the sufferers got
together and decided to file claims
with the company.
When it came TO the selection OF an
attorney to look after their interests
and make the big talk" the PROPOSE
ton of H. S. Davis looked good to
them and the fact that he had been a
former resident of Krupp and is person
ally known to all the claimants also had
some influence in the matter. To say
that their confidence was we'll ground
ed goes without saying, as the result Of
his effort speaks for itself.
Mr.. Davis filed all his claims direct
with the claim department and the
company sent one OF its attorneys to
Krupp to investigate, and the settle
ment of the Davis claims at this time is
a result of his report.
The company at first made an offer
to settle for 62H per cent, but Attor-
ney Davis held out for the rs per cent
allowed by law until it came to the
final showdown, when with the con-
sent of his clients he compromised on
basis of 6623 and IS per cent, the
latter figure being allowed for grain
burned in the warehouses.
The heaviest losers in the fire, it ap-
pears, will have to fight it out in the
courts and prove their claims in toto.
From the events that have transpired
in the past few days, it looks as though
the attorneys for the rest of the fire
sufferers made a grave mistake in
starting suits in the courts instead of
filing complaints with the claim de-
partment. 1t looks like Jim Hill is

ASTOUNDING STATISTICS
No Other Country Shows So Much Crime

An indictment against the police in

breathtaking, is made by Hugh c..
Weir, in The World Today. His sum-
mary of statistics of American crime is
a revelation. While the sources of his
information are not given, they are evil
IDENTIFY reliable, and the inference at
least is that they are official.
1t will startle the casual reader,
familiarized as he may be with criminal
reports, to learn that ten thousand
people are murdered in the United
States every year, and that of the muir

Heap Taft, Tinas Shirt

It is a sad story that comes from
Washington concerning WATERMAN
Runs-Him, the distinguished Indian
chief and survivor OF the Custer cam
paign. He called on President Taft
one day last week as the bearer Of a
beaded war Shirt" which he had
come all the way from Montana to de-
liver. A beaded war shirt is no trum-
perry affair at which even a presidential
nose can afford to turn itself up. 1t is
an expensive garment, representing as
itsdoes the labor of weeks if not of
months. To be the recipient OF
beaded war shirt as gift is to be hon
ored above ones fellows. But when
White Man-Runs Him called at the
White House and took good look at
Mr.. Taft the sudden realization of the
hopelessness of his mission paralyzed
him. The president could never wear
that garment. 1t might fit one of his
legs, but never could be buttoned or
otherwise fastened around the presiden-
tial body. The chieftain did not pre-
sent that shirt. With his emotions
carefully masked behind the natural
poker face which is the birthright Of
every Indian he mustered few COM
monplace words to explain his visit
without betraying its real purpose and
fed from the White House. He took
the first train back to Montana
worst disappointed man of his race that
ever went to Washington. Some day
an Indian father will be searching in
perplexity, as once was the perplexed
father of White Man-Runs-Him, for a
name for new heir. His eyes will
fall on the presidential shirt that was
and was not and there will be an In
dian boy named Heap-Misft. Chicago

A scientific" Baby
Signal.

One college woman who decided to
raise her child on scientific principles
has demonstrated at the end of the lit
tie ones second year the fallacy Of the
statement so often repeated that that
college women are unified for mother
hood. Her boy, scientific baby in all
that the word implies, is today far supe-
rior, mentally and physically, to chill
dren of his age. and he promises the
highest development of sturdy man
hood when he comes to maturity.
The mother, Mrs. William Noyes,
determined early to forego nearly all
the manifestations of motherly affection
such as cuddling, kissing, exhibition
and fine garments, and to devote her
energy and thought entirely to con-
quering the petty ailments incident to
infant life, and to building up strong
body with a conespondingly acute
mentality. She began by exercising
the baby in his second month; by lin
iting his food to just enough and no
more, and by keeping him in the open
air as much as possible. So
Results showed themselves imme-
diately. At two months the boy, Leon
ard, weighed twelve pounds, one and a
half pounds more than the average; al
three months he was more than two
months above the average, and he
rarely lost this gain.
The average babies observed by
Holt, a leading authority, do not hold
up their heads until the third or fourth
month. Leonard held up his in the
third week. Hollis babies do moi
laugh until the third or fourth month
Leonard laughed in his twelfth week
Hollis babies do not reach for objects
until the fifth to the seventh month
Leonard grabbed for pair of scales il
his fifteenth week. In his twentieth
week he began pulling himself up tc
the sitting position by the rod fastened
across his basket; in his twenty-second
to sit up alone; in his twenty-seventh
to pull himself up to his feet and stanc
alone; in his thirty-third week he be
gan to walk. Everything that affected
the health or demeanor of the boy wa

Can't Over-PrOduce Apples

That there is no danger of over
production of the apple crop of the
United States for several years to come
is the opinion Of w. M. Williamson,
secretary of the Oregon State Board Of
Horticulture.
Mr.. Williamson says that while the
population Of the United States is in
.creasing at the rate of 100000 per
year, the tendency for several years
will be for the apple crop of that part
OF the country east of the Rocky Noun
tains to decrease, and that the people
in the cities and on the farms are eat
ing more apples than formerly and are
cultivating taste for apples of the
best quality. Continuing, M. Will
hanson declares:
If the number Of trees planted in
the United States were in proportion to
the crop there would be an enormous
increase in the production, but the fact
is that only 26,0O0,o0O barrels were
produced from 1894 to 1900, while
from 1889 to 1894, 1000, 900 barrels
were produced. This is mostly the
result of the havoc wrought by pests,
carelessness and backwardness in east
ern states. Throughout the east, with
but one or two exceptions, there has
been constant decline in the quality
of apples produced. There are at pres
ent only two localities in the east
which are competing with the districts
OF the west and northwest in apple
raising. These are Orange county,
New York, and Virginia"

Percentage OF
Convictions

Though backed by SO eminent an
authority, this statement seems incred-
ible, but Mr.. Weir declares it is proved
by criminal statistics, and adds that in
Georgia only one murderer in one
hundred is punished, though the rec
ords show that the state has produced
forty-fve annual homicides, or more
than the whole British empire.
This is appalling to contemplate.
But to bring it still nearer home to our
sensibilities, Mr.. Weir submits statistics
of cost and a comparison which is as
new as it is effective. He says we pay
annually for crime, that is, in property
stolen and destroyed, and in the cost
of police, courts, jails and penal insti-
tutions, the enormous total of 81, 373,7
100000. This is made more appre-
ciable nv the comDarison.

WASHINGTON APPLES AT DENVER
WenatChee Valley Takes Many Prizes and
Causes the Colorado Fruit Growers
to Take Notice

The Fruit Grower, published at St.
Joseph, Mo-, which devotes consider
able space in its current issue to the
apple show at Denver, where exhibits
from Washington carried off many sub
stantial prizes, pays deserved tribute
to the growers-.of this state in the fol-
lowing words:
1t had been announced that sew
eral carloads of apples from the great
Spokane show would be exhibited at
Denver, but such was not the case.
However, there were a few boxes OF
fancy fruit from Washington, some OF
which had been shown at Spokane, and
this fruit proved revelation to some
of the Colorado growers. 1t is safe to
say that never before had they been
so impressed with the fact that good
packing of fruit pays as they were by
this fruit from Washington.
Colorado grows fine apples, of good
varieties, but attention has not been
given to the grading and packing OF
fruit as has been the case in Washing
ton and Oregon, and perhaps Idaho
The Colorado tumble pack is GER
tainly not the thing for fancy fruit for
exhibition purposes at any rate. Along
side the fancy packed boxes from
Washington it looked very common
place-altho we should say for the
benefit of the Colorado apple growers
that they are still long way ahead OF
growers in the middle-west and eastern
states in their packing methods.
Another thing which the Colorado
growers learned at the show was that it
will hardly be the proper thing to take
their commercial-packed fruit and en-
ter for premiums in competition with
other apples which have been packed
for that special purpose. 1t is said
that many exhibitors simply took the
apples as they were packed last fall,
without considering that show fruit
needs to be at least little better than
fruit which is to be sold in the regular
way.
THE statement was made repeat
eddy that the show will be worth thou
sands OF dollars to the apple growers OF
Colorado, in showing them in the most
forcible way the character of fruit their
apples compete with on the markets OF
the country.
when the premiums were finally
awarded it was found that the apples
from Washington carried away more
ribbons than they were entitled to by
reason OF the number of entries. They
won because of the careful grading and
packing OF the fruit. Ellsworth France,
of the Wenatchee Valley, won fine lot
of premiums. He is an experienced
exhibitor, and he showed the Colorado
growers thing or two which will help
them hereafter, not only in preparing
fruit for exhibit purposes, but in pack
ing apples for market"
