where land 10 poor and cheap a
farmer said to his wife: Switch
would you rather, for me to take
out a life insurance policy for
81, 500 or plant 1900 apple
trees? She chose the apple orch.
ard. 1t was set out and the trees
grew we'll but IN a few years the
farmer died. The next year the
orchard come into full bearing
and the widow sold the crop of
of apples for 81 800 on the trees.
For a number of years since the
crop of apples have brought her
in from $500 to $500 per year.
The possibilities of apple culture
in Meade and Breckenridge cOun-
ties are greater than Kentuck-
ians have any idea of. Cultiva-
ton, pruning, feeding the land
and spraying the trees are need
ed as much in Kentucky as in
Washington, the Ozarks, Vir-
ginia or elsewhere, hut with
proper attention no land will

VOL. XVII.


The rural sections, long consid-
cred ideal so far as concerns the
health of their inhabitants, have
been dealt blow by physician
investigators who maintain that
two.thirds of the cases of typhoid
fever in the city owe their origin
to insanitary conditions in the
country and to polluted water
supplies.
Farms, which are generally re-
mote from towns, cities, or other
areas of congested population,
would seem to be almost ideally
situated for obtaining pure and
wholesome water, but in reality
polluted water is exceedingly
common on them and typhoid
fever rates are usually greater in
country Districts than in cities.
Typhoid fever is now almost uni
versally believed to be trans
mitted solely through drink or
food taken into the stomach, and
is especially liable to be com.
municated by polluted waters
obtained from shallow wells
near spots where the discharges
of typhoid patients have been
thrown upon the ground and sub.
sequently carried down through
the soil and to the wells, and it
is doubtless principally this fact
that accounts for the disease be-
ing so common in farming re.
gions.
On a great many farms the
we'll is located at a point that
may be convenient to the dwell
ling, without any regard for the
possibility of the pollution of the
we'll water through seepage from
barn or cess-pool or through the
circulation of water under

the underground movement of
water is particularly valuable,

KRAMER Will

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Charles Newton

high diver, who confessed to having

more, it is believed. will repeat his
tragic story Of the murder late today
when the coroner's inquest over the
body of the victim is resumed.
Mrs. Kramer. who gave the police
the first definite Information that her
husband killed Miss Singer and sever
al others also will testify.
Kramer and his wife are being held
at the south side police station with
out bail.
Kramer's demeanor remains the
same as when he first was arrested.
He insists that he killed the woman in
self-defense and processes to believe
that he will be freed when given q
jury trial in the criminal court.

The police will endeavor to show
that Miss Singer was the victim Of a
ipremeditated robbery. In support Of
this theory the police point out that
the clothesline which Kramer used to
bind Miss Singer was taken from the
back yard at 6 O'clock in the evening
His explanation of this is that his wife
asked him to get the clothesline so
that she might dry some clothes in
their room.

by the police officials today but gave
no new information.

Berlin, Nov. 4.-The Italian foreign
minister. Marquis sDi-San-Guillano. has
arrived here and he has several con-
ferences with Imperial Chancellor DR..
Won Bethmann-H -Hollweg. These con-
ferences primarily arc to deal with the
general relations Of Germany, Austria
Hungary and Italy, but are dealing al
most exclusively with the question of
Intervention in the Balkan war.
Constantinople, Nov. 4.-Constanti-
nople Is in a fevor of excitement over
alarming reports from the field of bat
tie. Foreigners and natives alike are
suffering from tension caused by the
series OF military disasters. and al
though the city is in a state of siege.
crime in some quarters is unchecked.
Many families are leaving the city.
The people fear, first, an outbreak
of Moslem fanaticism by the turbulent
elements. the lower classes, and, Sec
ond, rising of hordes of maddened
soldiers, who are being driven by the
Rulgarians to make their last stand a
few miles outside of Constantinople
and then perhaps to fall back on the
capital.

plains of Thrace and II the Turkish
soldiers fall hack within the gates of
their guns and bayonets on the trem-
bling natives who are awaiting the
outcome of the conflict.
There is a large and unruly element
Of the population which would be glad
of any pretext for inassacres and pill
lage. The presence Of more than TO-
900 Moslem refugees from the war
zone, who have lost all their posses
sicns. adds to the danger Of the situa-
ton. Rumors are current that the
Young Turks committee may start
ing the government. but there have
been no tangible proofs Of such a
plan. It is doubtful whether rising
would he directed against foreigners
as much as native Christians, but the
danger to foreigners is very real. If
the Turkish army sustains complete
defeat, the lives and property Of thou
sands Of foreigners. as we'll as native.
Christians. will be in imminent peril.
