MORE ABOUT THE
GRAPE QUESTION
q. +. Prater, Jr., Com

Durham Controversy.

l have read with some interest the
several articles by both Mr.. Buskirk
and Mr. Durham. Naturally | was
deeply interested in the outcome of
the Joint meetings of the directors of
the several associations, having spent
much time both in Van Buren, and
Berrien county belts in an effort TO
bring things in shape to work more to
the good of the grower and to improve
the methods and general reputation
OF our state as a grape producing
center.

the maintenance of equal prices be-
tween the several organizations was
Impossible until system of grades

only crop know of that is not graded
and that is the only fault l have to
find with the Southern Michigan Fruit
association. Their rules are not de-
fined and the inspector is left to his
own ideas as to the standard. Every
member that attended the annual
meetings the past few years knows
that l have done my level best to have
this done and that the management
was in favor of it, but the growers
voted it down. Under the present
system there is no discrimination be-

stipulation as to size or shape of bunch
is given and the package contains
what nature placed on the vines to

but not over 10 per mt of this or any
of the other organizations made any
preparation TO separate the quality in
their packing The management has
been blamed for the conditions Have
not the members plainly said by their
ballot that il might be all right for
the other fellow, but they person ally
did not want to do any better? Then
don't blame your manager because
your association did not pool as much
as Mr.. Buskirk got for his. Your
grapes were not worth as much, or
Mr. Durham would have gotten it.
Now Mr.. Buskirk and Mr.. Durham
are both personal friends of mine and
as there seems to be some clash as to
things might have said l will plai My
state just what did say.
Mr.. Buskirk Roy L. futile and
George Friday were selected, together
with myself, to form plans of opera

Decline of Rural Churches More
Marked During Prosperity.

Manhattan, Kan, June 27.-That
the rural church has had it's greatest
decline in the last decade when the
agricultural wealth of the country,
especially the Mississippi valley, has
increased threefold, was the reminder
of H. j. Waters, president of the Kan
sas State Agricultural college, to the
rural church and rural life conference
at its first session here. Tie president
told of the need of Kansas for live
rural churches. He spoke of them as
the ideal forming institutions of coun-
try communities and urge the confer
ence to suggest plans for regenerating
the inactive institutions.
The meeting opened four day con-
ference of men of Kansas and neigh
boring states interested in rural church
betterment. Country pastors from
various parts of the state are here to
take part in the discussions.

Doctors Boyish Face
Reveals Skin Renewer

I heard the other day the story Of
the physician with SO admirable a
skin that all his women patients ask
ed the secret. He told one, who gen
erously told others, that, knowing the
remarkable absorbent property of or
binary mercolized wax, he conclude ed
this substance would make an excel
lent complexion renewer and preserv-
er. knowing the wax could not harm
the skin, he began using it after shaw
ing. He soon observed that the old,
withered, colorless cuticle was being
gradually absorbed and replaced by
younger, healthier skin. This was the
simple secret Of the silver-haired doc
to with the boyish face.
The secret became public property.
Now women everywhere use mercol-
lied wax, applying it nights like cold
cream, washing it off morniQgs-con-
tinuing until the complexion is entire
ly renovated. An ounce of this wax,
procurable at any druggists. will

Another valuable rejuvenator used
by this doctor was wrinkle-remover

JACOBS DESIGN MEANS SAFETY
Railway Engineering Experts Ap-
prove Topelzan's Firebox.

halfway engineering EXPERTS Ap-
prove Topekan's Firebox.
The tests which have been in prog
ress at Coatesville, Pa, under the aus
pices of the Jacobs-Shupert United
States Firebox company, comparing
boilers of the Jacobs-Shupert firebox
and the radial stay type respectively,
eliminated June 20 in a demonstra-
ton which was witnessed by five hun
dred railway mechanical men and
other spectators, says the Railway
and Engineering Review. In the tests
on the boiler with Jacobs-Shupert
f1rebox, with the water at the level of
the crown sheet, a pressure of 225
lbs. was maintained. After the lapse
of Is minutes the water was 10 ms
below the crown sheet and the pres
sure was 220 lbs to the square inch.
At 29 minutes, with the water 20 ins.
below the crown sheet, the pressure
was 210 lbs; and at AZ minutes, with
the water 80 ins. below the crown
sheet, there was $50 lbs. pressure.
The water disappeared from the gage
at this point. The test was discon-
tinued So minutes from the time the
water left the level of the crown
sheet, on account of no water left in
the boiler. There was no explosion
or rupture of parts, with this boiler
utes after the water left the level of
the crown sheet, being then 14A ins.
below that level The pressure
throughout the test was 230 lbs. Fail
ure occurred by pulling about 100
stays out of the crown sheet, allowing
steam to escape over a period of five
or ten seconds. This did not throw
the boiler from its setting. The tests
were considered a conclusive demon
stration of the non-explosibility of the
Jacobs-Shupert firebox, and of the su-
perior safety of that design over the
