whether they can cempete success

Packed and shipped under the di-

made to preserve the grapes in such
prime condition that .hey will find a
market by the side of the Spanish
Malagas, which, it is hoped, they may
in time largely replace on the eastern
market.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1O-A bitter

session in the Mcnamara trial. 1t
followed direct charge of unfairness
made by Darrow against the prose-
cutor, because the latter could see no
good reason for eXcusing from jury
service John T. Wilson, associated in

Fredericks, forgetting his customary
equanimity, jumped to his feet and
said: 1--WE don't want anything per-
sonal here, but if anything personal
is intended, we can settle it else
where"
Darrow, just as indignant, retorted:
There is nothing personal, but if it
was we certainly could settle it else

this has been bad grape year in
California, and also that they have a
strong prejudice among eastern buy
ers to overcome
This important commercial expert
ment, tried this year for the first

legations of grape packing methods.
After all sorts of substances had been
tried, including cornmeal, bran, shirred
paper and various kinds Of sawdust, it
was found that California redwood
sawdust was an even better material
In which to pack grapes than the cork
used by the Spanish growers.
Efforts also will be made by the
agricultural department to get Cali

VIII It be possible for the Trenton

spectators who passed through the

That's the question being asked by
the people of half a dozen states in

greatest OF all eastern fairs.
Here is the answer:
Yes.
The 1911 Trenton Fair will be true
to its slogan
Greater, grander than ever
True, the mere saying 80 will not
make 1t so; consequently Secretary
Mahlon Margerum and Assistant Sec
rotary L. p. Randall, pleased over the
bright outlook, do not hesitate to dis.
cuss the plans.
There are so many new things, so
many Innovations, for 1911 that 1t Is
difficult to determine just where to be-
en-.
