CLAIMS EASTERN FRUIT
is JUST AS GOOD

New York State fruits are Just as
good and could be made as popular as
those of oregon and other western
States if advertised as well.
This assertion was made last week
by F. X. Stevens, agiculturalist for
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company,
in letter issued to farmers along the
lines of the company.
There is not a single State in the
west that can produce fruit of as good
quality and flavor as our farms in New
York and Pennsylvania. The Oregon
fruit is pretty, but it lacks the quality
that puts premium on the fruit from
! New York orchards. The western. corn
belt grows an enormous quantity of
corn, but the production and profit per
acre of that famous corn belt are far
below the production and profit per
acre of our eastern farms.
In 1910 Pennsylvania produced al
bushels of corn per acre against Mon
tana's % bushels, lndianas 1913 BUSH
els, and Illinois 39.l bushels. The
alfalfa fields of the east are yielding
as much as five or six tons of hay per
acre, yield that is considered quite
remarkable in the west.
"Along our Finger lakes in New
York we are even competing with the
almost tropical state of California.
Here we grow French prunes at a
profit that would astonish the best
prune growers in the Golden State
and the farmer of Missouri or Illinois,
where such a thing as French prune
|
would be just as surprised at our sue
cess.
"Yet the western products are more
sought. Oregon apples sell for more
than oranges. Western corn and wheat
control the market. 1t seems strange
but the reason is evident. Our west
ern competitios have realized the value
of advertising their products and COM
munities. They use good taste and
judgement in placing their stuff on the
market.
They pack their fruit in such a
manner that the consumer will receive
it in perfect condition. They label
their products according to quality and
the standard of the label is always re-
liable. They have gained the conf
dence of the consumer, and this con-
tidence has created great demand.
'lt is time for the east to wake up.to
the fact that the only way to create a
demand is to cater to the customer.
The first thing for our farmers to do is
to place their product on the market in
the best and most attractive manner.
The barrels of apples must be as good
all the way through as ON top. First
grade products should be the best all
the way through, and should be labeled
that way. Growers should let the
public know that they can supply the
best and then they should supply. the
demand honestly" Fruit Trade

MAYOR TELLS WHY HE CAME
 TO COUNCIL
No Telegram Summoned Him - No Reason Why Mayor Should Preside, Since He Passes Upon All Action.

Mayor Buckingham today denied that it was because of the receipt of telegram while he was at Atlantic City that he hastened back to this city to preside at the meeting of the Common Council when action was taken on the city engineers investi- gation. It has been intimated that the city attorney sent a telegram to his honor stating that his future de- handed his presence at the meeting. ''I attended the meeting.'' said the Mayor, because Of statements made in the newspapers. Some of them would have the people believe that I feared to attend the meeting. There was no need of my presence at the meeting The council could have taken the same action it did without me being in attendance"
 The Mayor says there is absolutely no necessity for the Mayor of sthe city being in attendance at the council meetings. Every action which the council takes must come to the Mayor for his approval Meetings, he said, should be presided over by the pres ident of the board. You never hear of the Governor of the State, nor the President of the United States presid- ing at a session of the Legislature, yet what the Legislatures do come to them for their approval

Conn. Go. Gets Permit to Go Ahead With the
 East Main St. Paving

Today the Conn. Go. received per- mission from the Paving and Sewer Commission to proceed with the lay ing of brick in its repair work in East Main street. Some time ago the com- mission held up the work because Of fault found with the concrete foun- dation. The commission secured sam pies of the concrete which crumbled when rubbed with the fingers. An investigation was started when the commission, the Conn. Go. and the city engineers department was called in to make tests. They examined the concrete and allowed some time for the foundation to harden. Today the base was again examined and found to be O. K. and the company allowed to proceed with it's work. The fault with the concrete in the former occasion, it is explained, was due to excessive heat conditions, which re- tarted the hardening of the concrete. The repairs are being made by the Conn. Go. in those places along East Main street torn up by the company to allow them to properly weld their trolley rails.

We should now proceed to pass an employers lia- bility act and carry out the plain promises made in our party platform. In order that I may prepare a suitable bill to that end I ask that this mat ter be tabled

 story.
 The defense forebore cross-examin- ing the last three witnesses. Owen was then recalled. He testified that no blood dripped from the automobile when it stood before his house after Beattie brought his wife's body home.
 At this point Prosecutor Wenden- burg announced that the state had completed it's case.
 Hill Carter declared that the defense wished to argue to strike out certain lines of testimony brought out by the state Judge Watson, the prisoner and the lawyers retired to little room.
 Held up in a mud hole in a broken down motor car, Judge Watson drove up to the courthouse in a farm wagon, behind two trusty mules. Just be- hind him, Harry M. Smith and Hill Carter, attorneys for tn edefense, who had likewise been rescued from ditched machine, drove up in far mer's surrey, half an hour after the regular hour for converting court. l.. O. Wendenburg, special prosecutor in charge of the States case, got strand ed somewhere along the muddy high way, and further delayed the trial He had been two hours on his way from Richmond.
 After half an. hours conference, Judge Watson told the jury that he had sustained a motion by the defense to strike out all testimony regarding the sairpin found at the scene of the crime. He also sustained motion 70 strike out all evidence as to the oct ion of the bloodhounds.
 The defense opened it's case by re- calling Paul Beattie, who yesterday withstood two hours of bitter cross- examination by Smith,
 Isn't it a fact that the night you say you and Henry went to the pawn shop, he was forced to stop his auto mobile several times to fix the lights?" was the first question Smith put.
 ''Yes," answered Paul.
 Didn't you tell the pawnbroker you wanted the gun to work as d watchman on Mayo's bridge?"
 "No."
 Did you have a gun, a single-bar- rolled shotgun on Mayo's bridge Sat urday?"
 "No"'
 Did you have gun in your posses sion at any time between the time you brought the gun, and the night of the murder?"
 Here Smith called G. w. Booth
 Look at that man'' shouted Smith calling Paul's atention to Booth. didn't you tell him nthe bridge that you didn't believe your cousin Henry killed his wife? didn't you tell him Henry loved his wife?"
 "No, I never talked with that man about the crime or anything else.''
 Paul was then excused. Smith inn mediately called Booth himself on the stand. The witness declared that he had talked with Paul about the crime on the Wednesday after the killing.
 'I said to him." he declared, "whIt do you think of Henry now?"
 "He told me he didn't think Henry had committed the crime and that Henry had told him he loved his wife,
 Under cross-examination Booth ad- mitted that the was a lifelong friend of Henry Beattie.
 The defense asked that the remain der of it's witnesses be called in order that they might find out whether all those subpoenenaed were there. While this was done the jury was excused for recess
