Boston Exhibit.
Regarding the exhibits being main
tanned by Messrs. Goodall and asso-
ciates in Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia and other eastern cities, the
Boston Daily American of March IL
says:
There is an apple war in Boston.
"This modern garden of Eden is
jealous northwest
There are rival exhibits of apples
on Summer street and on Washing
ton street. The apples are beauties,
great, rosy fellows, as plump and in
viting as the cheeks of pretty Bos-
ton girl. They look good enough
and are good enough to eat-the ap-l
pies, not the cheeks.
"Apples have been historical sourc-
es of trouble. There was the apple
which Eve gave Adam on advice of
the serpent, in consequence of which
men have to work nowadays, or work
other people (see Keliher).
There was the NEUROLOGICAL apple
of discord. In the middle ages they
had poisoned apples as birthday
gifts to undesirable citizens.
'sThese apples in Boston today are
not poisoned. They are publicity APP
pies. They are to advertise the APP
plearious' advantages, so to speak,
of one part of the country over an
other.
Spokane in Lead.
"And the city of Spokane, state of
Washington, is one OF the first and
biggest factors in this apple agita-
ton.
"F. E. Goodall, of Spokane, as
sisted by w. D. Finley, recently put
in an exhibition of apples at 16 Sum-
mer street, and got ready to talk
apples.
"About this time the agricultural |
committee of the Boston Chamber OF
Commerce said, Apples, huh! We

of prize New England apples in the
window of the New York, New Hav-
en- & Hartford railroads city ticket /
office at 362 Washington street and /

The apples were craftily protected,
however, by wire netting.
s"Well, Br'er Goodall and Br'er
Finley of the Spokane outfit saw that
Boston Chamber of Commerce ex-
hibit around the corner on Summer
street and they said to themselves:
What do you know about that?'
There is another show window at
362 Washington street, fronting the
offices of the Canadian Pacific road,
which shares the place with the New
Haven.
Beaten?-Not Yet.
"The Spokane men easily secured
permission of the Canadian Pacific
people to establish an auxiliary ex-
hibit of Spokane apples in the win
dow at 362, right on the opposite
side of the doorway from the Bos-
ton Chamber of Commerce exhibit.
Meanwhile the original Spokane show
went on doing business just the same
in the main works at Summer street.
'Now the Boston commuter HES
himself to work past vista of ap-
pies of New England and apples of
Spokane. If he fingers in front of
Summer street place he is apt to be
buttonholed by Spokaner and told
that the only apples on earth are
raised around the only city on earth.
"'And that city is what?' queries
the surprised Bostonian.
"'Why, Spokane, says Messrs.
