"All barrels of apples have sold at

ticularly those grown under irrigation.
Some arrived in Europe in bad condition,
proving that fruit grown under irriea-

Regarding the size Of apples demanded
by the foreign trade the United States
consular report from London Gays:
"The apple is by far the most impor.
tant fruit coming to the British market.
American apples are very popular, led
by such varieties asthe Newtown Pippin

tion urged is. that of size. The most
popular sizes are those ranging from l2O
to lh0 crate, whereas some OF the ar
rivals from Oregon and California run
as large as 20 or 80 q crate. The Eng
lish retail trade does not want the extra
large apple. Fruit is sold by the pound
and the number of fruit that can be
contained in fixed weight plays large
part in its sale"

preciates the ability of Mr.. Mathews

ON their local candidate and it is hard to
lose. We believe the board to be COM
posed of broad-minded business men
and that our new countg will enjoy a
business-like administration. Itappears

fairs of the county.-Usk Times.

pointment of Mr.. Mathews. This does
not hurt Mr.. Mathews any at all as q

Newport ball park Sunday, and went
home with fine collection of goose eggs

Christianson was in the box for New
port and held down the Lakers in fine
style. He fielded his position we'll, had
good control and got ten strike-outs. al

hits. Scott was back OF the bat and not
only received in great shape, but kept
the runners tied down to the bases.
For Spirit Lake Cillv was in the box,
with Hamacher back of the bat. For
two seasons Cillv has had Newport's
batters pretty much at his mercy. but
he had a surprise coming to him when
the new bunch landed on him for IL

Our fellows made three errors, while
Spirit Lake had twelve, which contrib
uted largely to their defeat.
Newport scored three in the first after
two men were out, three in the second,
one in the fourth. three in the seventh
and one in the eighth. Spirit Lake
failed to get man to third base until
the eighth.

THE era Of investigation has begun

every corner of the United States.
1t Is impossible to walk around
Washington without running across
Sherlock Holmes. There is no branch
of the government too inconspicuous
to escape attention. The Democrat

in matters ranging from the action Of
the president in mobilizing United

to the sanitary conditions in the pub

The various committees cannot get
actively at work in this direction I'M

nifty for the resurrection of a number

Can't Get Away From 1t

Is It possible to nourish, strengthen and Re
build the Brain by Food?
Every man who thinks uses up part Of the
brain each day. Why don't 1t all disappear
and leave empty skull in say month of
brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
If he builds a little less than he destroys,
brain flag and nervous prostration result sure.
If he builds back little each day the
brain grows stronger and more capable. That
to rebuild his brain? Is it from air. sky or the
think about it, the rebuilding material must
be in the food and drink.
That also is sure.
Are the brain rebuilding materials found in
all food? In good variety but not in suitable
proportion in all.
To illustrate: know bones made large
1y of lime and magnesia taken from food;
therefore to make healthy bone structure we
lEust have food containing these things. We
would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make
healthy bone structure in a growing child.

LOST FAITH In WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard
ing the efforts of an Eskimo to con-
struct a telephone line. The Eskimo
laIne into possession of a piece O.
wire of considerable length and never
having seen wire before he asked Pro-
fessor Mcmillan of the Peary north
pole expedition what it was and what
it was for. He was told that the
white man strung it on poles stuck in
the ground and voice talking to an
instrument at one end could be heard
at the other end. After some search
the next morning the Eskimo was
found to be engaged in telephone con-
struction work of his own. He stuck
some sticks in the ground and hung
his wire on them. He held one end of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
it at the top of his voice. Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion of his white friend.
