The doctor found that the man had been shot in the head, the bullet entering the under side of the right jaw and coming out just over the left eye. Balardo was unable to speak although conscious and therefore could give no account of the shooting. Ac- cording to statements made BalRrdo had been out visiting during the day and when he returned home in the evening with several acquaintances, there was a wordy dispute, during which Balardo became greatly excited. He wen! into a bedroom, it is said and locked the door and soon the report of revolver was heard. The door was forced open and Balardo was found on the floor. his head covered with bleed The doctors were imme- diately summoned and after dressing the wound 1t was decided that he should receive hospital treatment. Dr. Scanlon accompanied him to the Me- morial hospital. arriving there at Il o'clock. Balardo is a favorite with his fellow countrymen and several of them went to the hospital with him. The wound is of most serious nature, and soon after reaching tine hospital Dr. Scanlon was of the opinion that Balardo would not survive the night. He is l years of age and was em- ployed at Smiths granite works.
 Balardo died shortly after midnight. Dr. Lee. medical examiner, was called and the case will be given a thorough investigation by the Connecticut au- thorities, as the shooting occurred in the village of Pawcatuck.

PLANT OLD WORLD APPLE TREES
Horticulture Department Collects

Horticulture Department Collects
| Strange Trees for Class Work.
Trees growing back of Read Hall
produce apples Of the type grown in
Europe and Asia in the earliest of
times. when civilization was Just
starting. They are grown to be used
in laboratory work in showing STU
dents the different types of apples,
and now our present prize winning
Ben Davis and Maiden Blush evolved
from these extremely small species.
One tree is years old and is bear
ing fruit for the first time this year.
Its apples are not much larger than
a large marble.
In recent years the department of
horticulture has collected in all parts
of the world as many species of ap-
pies as can be found. These have
been planted in a plot of ground and
are bearing this year. The apples our
pilgrim fathers brought to this coun-
try were small. Though coming from
the orchards of England they were
not highly developed. In 1917 the
first named varieties of apples grown
in the United States were published
And 95 per cent of these were of
European origin, having been grown
in the old world. BY growing the
seeds of these varieties and picking
the finest fruit every year, by selec-
ton, we have produced our present
apple of such large size. In this
country today 95 per cent of our ap-
Piles are of American origin.
The records of the State Horticul-
ture Society show that fifty years ago
the seeds recommended to apple grow
ers here were half new England va
rieties. Now the commercial varie-
ties recommended to the apple grow
ers of this state are mostly all Mis-
souri, varieties.
According to Prof. ]. C. Written, we
could take our present wild apple |
that grows in the woods and in a |
few decades evolve from it as good
apples as We have today.

LONG RUN FOR THIS PRESS
The Printing Of Half Million Folders
Is Being Done Here.

One of the largest job printing or
ders contracted in Columbia in a
long time, it is said, is that of the
Missouri Anti-Single Tax League.
which is having one-half million fold
ers published. The printing COM
pany which has the contract is now
doing the work on a small press
which makes only a single impression
at the rate of 1,5OO an hour. On this
press it would take the company
approximately 335 hours or fourteen
days, running both day and night to
complete the printing part of the or
der.
A part of the folders have already
been printed on this press, but a
larger press is to be put in service.
On the latter the company will be
able to print four impressions at
once, increasing the rate of printing
from 1,50O an hour to 5000 an hour.
