1t is truly characteristic Of Ameri-
can ingenuity TO transform cranberry
culture by the introduction of ma
Eines-machines that let the Gran
berry king get along with a couple OF
hundred pickers where once he re-
quired 1,100-but il IS perhaps just a
trihe incongruous TO have so much OF
the cultivation and harvesting intrust-
ed TO foreigners, because cranberry
growing IS distinctly an American &C
tivity. CranOerries grow Wild in some
parts Of Europe, but nowhere in the
world save IN the United States is the
cranberry cultivated as an article Of
food. Oddly enough, too, American

that they have enabled a CRANBERRY
belt of limited size to so increase its
yield as 20 care for the holiday hun
ger of q nation ever expanding In
population.
In another sense, however. the out
come Of the new era in the cranberry
industry has been the exact opposite
OF what has occurred In many another
activity that has been infused with
new life blood these past few years.
We hear a great deal nowadays oe the
extent TO which women and children,
with their lower wage scales, have
been displaeing men in many occupa-
TONS Nothing OF the kind is taking
place in the cranberry industry, how
ever. On the contrary. the exact Op-
pOsite Is true. Strange as 1t may ap-
pear, the men are crowding out the
women in a field of labor in which
the latter once had almost a mon
opOly. The explanation is found in
the advent of the self-Same machines
10 which reference has been made
above. The machines that have Keen
introduced for picking cranberries do
not look, at the casual glance, like
such formidable pieces of apparatus,
and yet il has been found that IN most
instances il requires a mans strength
to WELD these continually all day
long.
What is more, the women one does
see nowadays, on the cranberry
boys, kneeling among the tangled
vines with their wealth of red ber-
ries, are almost exclusively foreign
eTs-sturdy representatives of the sex
who have the physique and have had
the training. OF the peasant women
OF Europe and most OF whom prob
ably worked in the fields on the con-
tinent ere they emigrated to the New
World. Native American women and
children have been almost wholly
driven out OF the cranberry picking in
dustry except on the small boys,
where the owner and his family or a
cOterie OF his neighbor folk take care
OF the crop in the Old-fashioned way.
Yet the time was when the harvest
ing and marketing OF the cranberrles
was an undertaking that enlisted the
services OF a small army OF Americans
every autumn. Take for instance. the
situation in the old days on Cape
Cod, Mass, which was then as now
the greatest cranberry district. The
whole country side turned out TO nick
the misunderstanding them by
hand, one by one, just as you might
pick strawberries or raspberries. The
people also came in drOVes from the
nearby towns, whole families coming
from the cottOn-manufaeturin CEN
tiers and other New England Industrial
communities where work was slack or
the mills were likely shut down tenn
pOraTily at that season OF the year
and these recruits from the cities lived
in tents or cottages on the boys
throughout the picking season, thus
combining the period Of work with a
camping vacation. In those days even
the women in the neighborhOod who
were not spry enough TO go in for the
picking were won't TO assemble to do
the lighter work OF sorting the ber
ries. and the scene presented was not
unlike that at the proverhial New

new order Of things to be reflected in
the appetizing quality OF the product.
The changes that have taken place
in the cranberry industry have been
OF a dual character Is. there has
been an upsetting of Old ideas in two
different directions. For one thing,
there has been a change in the tech
meal side OF the cranberry industry
that is, a revision OF the agricultural
scheme. On the other hand, there has
been a corresponding 'shakeup' as 10
the human force that conducts this
activity so essential for satisfying the
cravings of our holiday appetites.

favored sections of the country where

This gavel, made from stone taken
from Solomon's Quarries at Jerusalem,
is given to the Masonic lodge of Audi,

The mallet is chalky white and very
heavy and has engraved ON it the square

SOME TAXPAYERS
ASK FOR INJUNCTION
Against The Tax Ferret, The County
Treasurer, The Surety Company,
And Board OF Supervisors.

On Monday, March T. 1910, petition
in equity was filed in the district court
of Audubon county asking for an injunc-
ton against NJ. ID. Toof, the tax ferret,
the American Surety Company, of New
York, George E. Kellogg, the County
Treasurer, and the County Board of
Supervisors. The petitioners are Fl. A.
Arnold, John Davis, J. II. Maharg, f.
l.. Finch r. G. Spencer, John A. Nash
and w. II. Neff The gist of the petit
ton is that the County Board entered
into contract with NJ. d. Toof to make
Investigations concerning properties
which had not been assessed and that
said Toof should receive fifteen per cent
of amount collected as result of such
Investigations. And that the Board had
authorized the County Treasurer to pay
Mr.. Toof fifteen per cent of each sum
collected out of such sums as soon Us
same was collected. The claim is set
forth that in obedience to said contract
the County Treasurer has been paying
Mr.. Toof his share according to the con-
tract made by the Board, but that this
procedure is contrary to law because no
money shall be paid out except upon
warrants issued by the County Auditor
after bills have been filed and allowed
by the Board. The petitioners ask not
only that this be stopped but that all
moneys paid out in this way be return
ed to the county treasury.
