WAY OF MARKETING APPLES
New Scheme Tried by New England
Growers With Apparent Success
How Plan Is Worked.

The objections to marketing apples
in the old way through commission
men has always given rise to much
complaint A new scheme has recent
ly been tried by New England apple
growers.
Under this plan the farmer sells his
apples outright to the commission
agent for an amount less than their
fun value. The agency then disposes
Of the product for as high a price as
he can get. At the end of the year
ne settles with the grower. The
amount formerly paid the farmer, as
we'll as storage and transportation
costs, are deducted from the gross sell
ing price The remainder is divided
between farmer and commission agent
The plan wherever tried, has work

ference ct the agent to everything but
his commission is done away with. for
his prouts increase with each increase

new plan has not been very widely
adopted as yet. but it is thought that

Using Closed Door Space.

space is limited-a receptacle which,
to myself, and family, is truly a house

out from the kitchen, one of which
was very seldom useG. Why not con

short notice I had the man of the
house at work, and soon had the sat
isfaction of being able to keep my
kitchen tidy.
The closet contains an emergency
shelf, on which are arranged all nee
essaries for the accident that will hap
pen. Directly under this shelf is a
row Of hooks, on which hang working
apparel when not in use. A foot or
more from the floor is another shelf
for sundTies. Beneath this shelf are
working boots, rubbers, leggings, etc.

to milk only, for SO hours, the child
was relieved of it this morning, max
ing one Of the most interesting and
novel cases in the history of the
city.
While the child was playing with
bell the clapper separated and fell in
its lap. The babe swallowed the
cIapper, which was as large as the
tip Of the little finger. The wire was
opened much like a safety pin. differ
ent in the respect that there was not
a very sharp point. The babe suf-
fared no apparent discomfort, and
played and prattlcd as if the bell
clapper was where It belonged,
The baby was placed on a light
diet Of bread and potatoes and given
as medicine a small quantity of
opium, calculated to lessen the action
of the bowels, so that the metal ball
would pass from the stomach and in
testines by slow process, preventing
the decorations that would follow
quick removal

interesting because OF the age of the

Years.

Alton, Iu.-Seventy-fve years ago
there occurred in this city an event
which, with the single exception Of
the John Brown raid, was probably
the most sensational feature of the
long struggling over the slavery ques-
ton that preceded the Civil war.
This was the mobbing and destruction

der Of its editor, Elijah P. Lovejoy.
Although it occurred twenty-five years
before the war, it contributed in a
marked degree to that elimination
Elijah P. Loveicy was of an ardent
ly pious nature, and his advocacy of
the cause for which he persisted took
the form of extremely violent attacks
on the institution of slavery, and all
who directly or indirectly helped to
favor and perpetuate it.
In 1926 Lovejoy, then a young man
Of twenty-four, came from his home in
Maine to St. Louis, where he establish
ed a school and became an industrious
contributor to the press. Several
years later he took an active interest
in politics and became the editor Of
a political newspaper which advocated
the election of Henry Clay for the
presidency.
Although he was unsuccessful in
his campaign he earned the reputation
and influence of a political leader, but
in three years more he became pos
sessed Of so much religious zeal that
he determined to enter the ministry,
and he was licensed tG preach in 1888
AS editor of the Observer, a reItg-

LovejOy began his most ardent advo-

1885 he came to Alton, which was to
be the scene Of his death.
The citizens of Alton threatened
him without result, and then mobs de-
stroyed his press. As often as they
wrecked one he replaced it, until
three presses had been destroyed and
a fourth one was ordered. The night
after it was received a mob attacked
the building. LoVejoy was there with
some friends, and in the fight that fol-

killed.
When the mob then, undertook to
fire the building Lovejoy was one Of
three volunteers to make a sortie.
AS soon as he got outside he was as

historic post of maid of honor is to

maids of honor, but the duties they
perform can be equally well done by

From the maid of honor's stand

$4,000 a year is immaterial compared
with the social advantage to be reap

churches have more religion, to be OBJ
