APPLE BILL OF
MUCH IMPORTANCE
People Of Berkeley County Should Be
Acquainted With-Copies Can
Be Had at World Office

The Sulzer bill, recently passed by
Congress, and which pertains to the
apple business Of the Eastern pan
handle, is Of vital importance and
should be carefully read and studied
by all
It will be remembered that it re
quired much labor to secure the pas
sage of the bill, and it was only
through the efforts Of Senator Watson
and Congressman Brown that the task
was finally accomplished. The pro-
Tisions of the bill are very strict and
should any of them be violated the
penalties prescribed are severe Here
are few excerpts:
THAT the standard barrel for apples
shall be Of the following dimensions
when measured without distention Of
its parts: Length of stave, twenty
eight and one-half inches; diameter Of
head, seventeen and one-eighth inches
distance between heads, twenty-slx
inches; circumference of bulge, sixty
four inches outside measurement, rep
resenting as nearly as possible seven
thousand and hfty-siX cubic inches:
ing the interior dimensions provided
for in this section shall be construed
as a compliance herewith.
THAT the standard grades for ap-
pies when packed in barrels which
shall be shipped or delivered for ship
ment in Interstate or foreign com,
MERGE or which shall be sold or offer
ed for sale within the District OF Col
umbia or the Territories of the United
States shall be as follows: Apples of
one variety. which are well grown spec
linens, hand picked, Of good color for
the variety, normal shape, practically
free from insect and fungous injury.
bruises, and other defects, except such
as are necessarily caused in the oper-
ttion OF packing or opples Of one var
tety which are not more than ten per
centum below the foregoing specifi-
cations, shall be STANDARD grade mini
mum size two and one-half inches If
the minimum size of the apples is two
and one-half inches in transverse dia-
meter; Standard grade minimum size
two and one-fourth inches, if the min
imum size of the apples is two mad ono
fourth inches in transverse diameter;
or Standard grade minimum size two
inches If the minimum size OF the APP

meter"
If any of the apple growers in the

TURN ON TIE LIGHT

The voters of Berkeley county
should not forget that the election this
year means great deal It may mean
that the State owes Virginia nearly
thirty million dollars, or it may not.
However, il is well to consider the
various candidates for the legislature,
and choose the men who will best rep
resent the peoples interest
While the Virginia debt question
will undoubtedly be a great one to
consider, there are others of fully as
much Importance Since the state
passed into the hands Of the republi-
cans there has been spent hundreds
Of thousands of dollars. and nobody
knows where IL has gone. After the
democrats Increased their number in
the legislature Investigations were
started, and some startling results
were secured, but under the skilful
leadership Of w. NJ O. Dawson the
dominant party was able to conceal
the very things the people desired
most to know.
In the spending Of money for the
state institutions tine democrats a few
years ago We're able to force the re
publicans to adopt a better system.
The state board Of control was named.
and the first year it saved the taxpay,
ers over three hundred thousand dol
lars. The way the states finances had
been handled for the institutions was
disgrace, but the republicans refus-
ed to take cognizancc of it and pro.
caeded to spend the money with reck-
less abandon
The saving of this vast sum has not
in the least crippled any of the state
institutions, but their work has been
strengthened and hey now enjoy far
better regulations than they ever had
At the last regular session of the leg.
lslature the democrats were able to
make a further reduction in expenses.
and at the same time improved every
institution. This proves what the dem
ocrats will do if given an opportunity,
and it also proves what the repubi.
cans will do if they are allowed to
have full control OF affairs
But this will not do. The people
now demand that the books of the ad-
ministration of Governors White and
Dawson be opened and a careful audit
made. They also want to know what
has become of their money. and. fur
Their. why so many Offices were created
for a hungry horde?
The administration of Governor
Dawson was especially nauseating ia
the people and err II was known the
Republican party was rent in twain.
and many of its members Joined with
the democrats IN irving to Dust the
gang that had brought dishonor to the
state While the cid regime was not
driven out OF powcr. enough was done
to give it bad scare. because it does
not want the books eyposed to nublic

"sAFETY," KEYNOTE AT MEET
HELD BY RAILROAD men
General Safety Committee Held
Splendid Meeting Here

Employees That the Company Wants
Their Cooperation ir This Work
Speakers Show How accidents Can
Be Averted-Good Meeting Held
In Comrey's Band hall last night
the General Safety Committee OF the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad company,
held a meeting for the benefit OF the
employees and their friends
The party arrived yesterday morn
ing from Keyser, where a meeting was
held Monday night, The day was
spent inspecting local conditions and
arranging for the meeting
Promptly at o'clock the meeting
was called to order by Mr. W. l.. Ste
phens, chairman of the local commit
tee, and after Comreys band had rem
dered a selection, he introduced the
sistant to General Manager A. w.
Thompson
Mr.. Coon briefly stated the object
of the meeting saying that the com
pany desired that every employee be
protected. and in order to do this it
was necessary to have the co-opera-
ton of the men. He pointed out how
many accidents could be averted,
showing that, instead Of hurrying and
rushing, by paying strict atten-t
ton to instructions the number of ac-
cidents would be very materially re-
duced He urged upon the men the
necessity of exercising extreme care
in the performance Of their duties, add
ing that it was the duty of all to assist
in seeing that no more accidents than
possible occur.
Mr. John Hare, of the committee,
spoke at length on the subject, citing
many incidents where accidents could
have been averted had more care been
taken. He said that the company
wants more weddings and not so many
funerals; also more flowers for brides
and a less number for funerals.
By cooperation, he said, accidents
have been greatly lessened, and by
further assistance the number of
deaths would be fewer and the loss of
limbs become unknown.
Mr.. c. W Egan, general claim agent
of the company, gave an illustrated
lecture. He showed how the machin-
cry was formerly operated and today.
Now all dangerous machinery is shiled
ed and the employees do not come in
contact with it to such an extent as
to cause them to suffer the loss of
limbs. He also showed the result of
pilot riding, of jumping off and on
trains while they are in motion and
also of men taking chances to save
few minutes of time. All of these he
condemned in the strongest terms and
said that the company did not approve
of a man risking his life or his limbs
to save time.
The meeting was largely attended,
The railroad men and their families
were out in great numbers and all
were deeply interested in the address
es.
Several of the Cumberland Valley
employees also took advantage of the
opportunity to learn what the B. & O.
is doing to protect their men.

dresses, and, no doubt, the local men
will be more interested in this work
than ever before. A pleasing feature
