Will Make Good Fund.

A fund of $4,000 will enable the
Commercial Club to land two or
three good concerns In Plymouth or
one large concern. Secretary Pros
per Ball stated this morning that
the club had already at least twenty
FIVE good propositions for the loca-
ton of factories but its hands are
tied until it gets some money with
which to talk business to these
people. 1t has been compelled to
let all these propositions go by with
out an effort at securing them, be-
cause of this lack of funds.
1t should be remembered, too,
that the Commercial Club is not go
ing to Jump at everything that comes
along. We want good factories or
none. Concerns without good
financial rating and which will not
bear investigation, need not apply
they would be wise to save their
postage. Plymouth has had enough
experience to enable us now to get
only the best-factories that will be
a permanent benefit to the whole
city for years to come.

of a dog can transmit rabies from

stage it is virtually impossible to

cation of rabies) because they are
too minute and too few in number
to be discovered with the micro
scope. Hence it is to the patient S
advantage that the dog be confined
and watched for a week or ten DAYS.
If it remains healthy during this
time, it is proved free from rabies
by an even better test than the
microscope could furnish. When the
animal is killed at once. and the
microscopic is unable to find Negri
bodies, it is necessary to inject a
guinea pig with some of the brain.
This is a test which is unpleasant
both to the man who does the in
jecting and to the guinea pig, and
has the disadvantage of keeping the
patient in suspense for two or three
weeks while awaiting the effect on
the guinea pig.

IN MANY COUNTIES
Proper Method Is To Confne the
Dog and Await Developments
In Order Tc Be
Sure.

The epidemic of rabies which has
existed in Indiana for the last five
years is now more serious than for
MANY months. From the beginning
of August. 1911, the brains of 600
animals have been examined at the
State Laboratory. OF these, 314, or
52.3 per cent were proved to have
rabies. This number probably does
not represent one-fourth Of the eases
that have actually red Ill the
State. For instance, In May, 1910, a
dog appeared in Wayne county and
bit II head of dairy COWS. The dog
was killed and examination of its
brain at the State Laboratory SHOW
ed that it was suffering from rabies
in an advanced stage. One Of these
COWS which was terribly bitten died
on the following day. The other
thirteen COWS died of typical rabies,
the first one on the 23rd day and the
last one on the 5Oth day after they
were bitten The heads OF none of
these thirteen cows were sent to the
State Laboratory because the diagno-
sis was TOO clear to need verifica-
tion. Hence these thirteen eases are
not included in the 314 noted above.
1t is impossible to estimate with
any degree of accuracy the amount
of stock killed and the number Of
persons bitten by rabid dogs in this
state. Our records of persons Bit
ten are very incomplete because
physicians and others who isend
heads to the Laboratory seldom give
much information about the doings

OUTLOOK FOR APPLES.
Glowing Prospects Ahead For In
telligent Growers of Indiana
Fruit.

The members of the Indiana Hor-
ticaltural Soc:etM who are promot-
ing the State Apple Show for the
week of Nov. 6, in Indianapolis, say
that the revival of interest In or
chards has been remarkable in the
last few years. Large companies
have been formed to invest in fruit
lards. othcTs are ereanizing to de-
velop orchard tracts, still others are
going in for the business of fruit
growing on extensive scale. and in
practically every neighborhood of
every old orchard which had been
permitted to 90 to decay are being
replanted, while many new ones are
being started. There are signs
everywhere that Indiana is moving
up in the lSt of apple producing
states, and this progress is expected
to be still more marked as education
is spread by the state Apple show
and similar mediums.
The members of the society saw
that the day of the apple specialist
is here. The old plea that pests and
diseases have ruined the orchards is
not now accepted. because scientific
research, the discovery of sprays.
and the invention of appliances have
placed in the hands of the grower
weapons that are driving out the or
ehard enemies and permitting the
production of high grade fruit.
1t is evidenty too, that apple grow
ing as a business is starting anew
on substantial basis. with encour-
laying marketing facilities available.
Years ago the orchard was only a
sideline to general farming. Now
many men and companies are max
ing app-e growing their chief source
of revenue, and the growers have
found it possible to- reap goodly pro-
fits where they follow cultural and
marketing methods along intelligent
lines. Not only are farm people 90
ing in for apple production with
assurances that fruit of high quality
will always find ready demand. but
the business is proving an attractive
field o. Investment for city people
of means.
Everywhere the Old discouraeina
conditions are giving away to /, OPP
timism and diligent study of or
ehard questions. That this reviva
of interest prevails. with glowing
prcsrects for the future. is evident

Of SPRAY pumps say that last sprine
eaeir sales in Indiana were from 81
to 800 percent greater than for the

The success of growers in the
Pacific northwest has been a factor
in quickening the interest here il
Indiana. Another has been the
steady increase in the apple eatins
habit of both town and country
people, and altogether the present
