A Missoula. Mont, fruit grower re-
Gently received letter from a friend
in France in which he states that
prominent shipper of Paris is very
much interested in marketing western
Montana apples there. In giving the
views of this shipper the letter states:
He agrees with US that American
fruit would find very large market in
France If it came here in fine present
able shape. French apples are small
and tough as a rule. The French seek
appearance, and proper packing in
cartoons would enable us to get this
fruit into the French markets and be
the first to attract the attention of the
public here. They all say that Amer
lean apples are fine but that no one
knows how to pack them

Mental processes In the Brain.

We have no facts which at present
will enable us to locate the mental
processes In the brain any better than
they were located fifty years ago.
That the mental processes may be due
to cerebral activities We may believe,
but with what anatomical elements
the Individual mental processes may
be connected we do not know. Not
withstanding our ignorance, 1t would
appear best and most scientific that
we should not adhere to any of the
chronological systems, however scien-
tific they may appear to be on the
surface. We should be willing to
stand with Brodmann, believing that
mind Is function or an attribute OF
the brain as whole. or is concomi-
tant of cerebral operations, but at
least am unwilling to stand with the
astrological localizationists on the
ground of special mental process
for special cerebral areas or for spe-
cia1 cerebral cell groups.-Shepherd

The Italians who lived In the town
were mostly men who worked on the
railroad, and their families. They had
begun to settle in the town a few
years before. and one Frank Cantino.
a white-headed old Calabrian, had ta-

then he became their banker. He was

countrymen and by Americans as

day of my visit to Whitefish because
on the night of that day Cantino was

his little private bank.
The murder was terrible shock to
the peaceful little town. Nothing of
the sort had ever happened in its his

Main street, no later than ten o'clock,
and was crime of the boldest and
bloodiest sort. Cantino had been
stabbed seven times, and any one Of
the cuts would have been fatal.
1 reached Cantino's Office a few
minutes after the alarm had been
spread. There were no signs of a
struggle and no disorder of any kind.
Cantino apparently had been stabbed
first in the neck as he was turning
away from his assailant-stabbed by
