FOR MARKETING OF APPLES
Rules Laid Down by the Federal Gov
eminent in the Sulzer Law.

The Sulzer law which establishes a
standard barrel and standard grades
for apples went into effect July ! of
this year. Fruit growers will do well
to become familiar with the provisions
of the law and buyers OF apples should
see to it that the fruit they buy has
been packed under the law The
words, Standard Grade" are to take
the place of the expression, Number
One" and the requirements for
standard grade" are: Apples of one
variety, which are well grown speci-
mems. hand picked. Of good color for
the variety, normal shape, practically
free from insect and fungus injury,
bruises and other defects, except such
as are necessarily caused in the oper-
alton OF packing, or apples of one va
riety which are not more than ten per
cent. below the foregoing speclfica-
TONS" Such apples may be marked
according to their size. STANDARD
Grade, minimum size, two and one
half inches" STANDARD Grade, mini
mum size, two and one.fourth inches !"
Standard grade. minimum size, two
inches"
The penalty for violating the Sulzer
law by misbranding packages is one
dollar and costs for each barrel Of
fered for sale.

OLD ADAM STRONG IN HIM
Sad Time for Mother When She Real
lied Her Pet Had Passed Beyond
the Angelic Period.

Mothers darling, age four, was not
to be like other boys and learn to use
naughty and slangy words. He was
not allowed to play with the older
boys in the neighborhood for fear his
sensitive nature might be shocked a.
the language they used. One day.
while mother was busy, he slipped
over into the next street and played
for half an hour with crowd of older
boys. In that half hour he took COM
plete course in modern language.
An his return mother said
where has my precious been?"
You should worry and get
wrinkle" he cheerfully replied.
Dearest, tell mother where you
learned such horrible language!"
mother exclaimed.

ly from the Cupid bow mouth.
Then mother commenced to weep.
for she realized that her angel child
was just boy after all.

means which the producer seems to
be able to get square deal is by CO.
operative effort. Rev. Bentall under
stands this fact and so is using his
talents for the benefit of his people.
AS an Englishman he knows about
the cooperative associations in Eng.
land that are doing SO much for the
farmer He is sure that the same
idea can be made to succeed in this
country If only honest management
is combined with ability. He propose
at least to give the matter good trial.
The Northport fruit growers have
such confidence in him that at the an
uary they made his salary for the year
considerably larger than he asked it
to be. He express his thanks by say
Ing that he would try and more than
earn them the extra hundreds.
His place is hard one at best. He
has the established order of things
so far as marketing is concerned to
buck and at the same time has to
deal with the members OF his associa-
ton who have not learned that big
returns can come only for fancy pro-
duce. A few Of the farmers do not
know what fancy produce looks like.
They have never produced anything
but second and third rate stuff. These
fellows think the secretary is partial
when he gets better prices for what
the other fellows have to sell than he
gets for them. So the ex-minister has
two big jobs before him. One is to
| raise the standards Of fruit growing
in his own neighborhood and the 9th.
er is to match wits with the commits
sion men and fruit buyers in the large
cities, so as to get top prices for the
fruit shipped by the members OF the
local association.
In winter he lectures about fruit
growing. in the spring he helps prune
and spray and cultivate the orchards
and in the summer and fall he is on
I the marketing end. He is going to
put the Northport section of Michigan
on the fruit growing map, and pUt
it there for keeps.

HOW MAUREL LEARNED TO ACT
Friend of Great 6arrytone Told Him
Of His Shortening, to Very
Good Effect.

London.-The secret of Chaliapine
(the Russian singer who has been so
successful in London) seems to be the
same as that of Maurel, one of the
first of the great modern operatic
barrytones.
Maurel began as a star singer in the
old style. One day when he was prac-
ticing in his hotel he received visit
from a painter who lived in a stdio at
the top of the hotel. The painter
came to say how much he had enjoyed
the singing of the great barrytone.
Your voice enters my room like a
ray of sunshine. have bought seat
for tomorrow to scar you in William
Tell"
Maurel did not see the painter again
for some time and when he met him
in the street some weeks afterward
he asked him If ne had been to "Wil-
liam Tell" The painter eeemed very
cold about It, He complained that
Maurel had not given the impression
of the character of the fearless hunt
err" Maurel took this to heart and
from that time studied the art Of act
ing until It was said of him that he
was IAN artist who could act and paint
with his voice"

performance of "Otello." when he

TURNS FRUIT GROWER
REV. A. BENTALl LEAVES PULPIT
FOR THE ORCHARD.
Works to Raise Standard Of Fruit
Growing and to See That Grow

Products

n Congregational minister, Rev. A.
Bentall of Northport on January LIST
last, quit the ministry, for a time at
least, that he might give his undi-
vided attention to fruit growing. He
is q native of England and when a
young man was employed in nursery
for seven years. AS a result of this
training he picked up many valuable
ideas. On coming to America he be-
gan preaching the gospel, believing
that by so doing he was making his
greatest contribution to society. He
preached at different places in the
lumber-woods towns Of Michigan
where preaching was badly needed,
and eventually drifted to Northport,
where he became a fixture.
lie was a success and pleased the
people who paid him. He started a
number of new things, including a
boys club that studied fruit growing
He also became secretary of the local
horticultural society and last summer
when the fruit growers failed to get
the returns that they were entitled to,
OF the fruit. He was successful and
the returns for the cars sent out by
him were better than those for the
fruit consigned to regular commission
men and also better than the prices
paid by the Northport buyers He
marketed by the carload and sent the
fruit to cities not reached by the reg
ii, a
ries and apples. He was honest and
being a minister who had always been
on the square, the members Of the as
ISOLATION had confidence In his book
keeping and distribution of the re-
Ceipts. He also collected their orders
for fruit growing supplies and saved
them money by buying the supplies in
large quantities. AS the 1912 season
advanced he was impressed more and
more into the cooperative work. His
church duties became trespassed upon
until he reached the conclusion that
he was worth more as a preacher of
better horticultural methods than as
a preacher Of fire and birthstone. 1t
is Rev. Bentall's belief that minis
ter's chief duty is to serve his fellow
man by giving him broaded outlook
and desire to do constructive work.
This duty he reasoned he could as
well perform as secretary Of the hor-
ticultural society as pastor of the first
church. Rev. Bentall wishes to see
the people of Northport prosperous
and thrifty as well as God fearing
and church going.
With the close CT the old year he
rendered his resignation as pastor OF
the first church and arranged his az
fairs so that he could give his entire
energies to the development of the
fruit industry and particularly to that
phase Of II which has to do with mar.

MANNED BY BUFFALO
Elephant Hunters Experience in
the Belgian Congo.
Shoots Animal When IL Appeared in
Range and Follows Quarry Into
Jungle Only to Be Set Upon
and Nearly Killed.

London.-A terrible experience with
elephant hunter in the Belgian Congo.
He was after elephants when the ami
NAL appeared within range. and, con-
trary to his usual custom, the hunter
fired. The shot took effect and the
buffalo disappeared into the jungle.
The hunter, who Is a dead-shot, and
expected to find his quarry dead, fol
lowed. Suddenly without the slight
est warning, the wounded beast
charged, believing with rage and pain,
from behind some bushes so close at
hand that the hunter had no time to
raise his rifle and fire.
Throwing aside the rifle, he sprang
into the air and clutched at a branch
of a tree beneath which he was stand
Ing, and by drawing up his legs just
managed to escape the buffalo's horns.
But worse was to come. The buffalo
turned and surveyed it's foe hanging
helplessly overhead and Immediately
bounded into the air. it's terrible horns
searching madly for it's victim.
The unfortunate man could climb no
higher, for the tree was small one,
and one of the horns caught him on
the thigh, ripping it open like a knife.
Again and again the beast sprang at
the man, and again and again the re-
lentless horns tore at his thigh and
leg.
With wonderful strength and cour-
age the hunter bore about fifteen ag-
onizing moments Of this torture, until
at last the bullet took effect and the
animal dropped dead on the ground

Plant That Catches Its Food.

The common bladderwort. an
aquatic plant. not only defends itself
against insects and animals, but
catches worms and fish for its food.
AS it floats underneath the surface of
the water its leafy branches spread
out in all directions. It's leaves are
covered with little oval bladders filled
with air. and at one end of each blad-
der is cavity which leads into the
mouth below. Inside the bladder is
small trap door which opens when
pressure is put on it. A small worm
or a small fish can enter this door,
but they can never come out.

Weakened by pain, loss Of blood,
