Black Ben Davis and Spies which are
on display there. and whoever named
all the varieties must have taxed his
Imagination to the last notch. These
apples hail from St. Joseph. SStarke,
Laporte. Marshall, Berrien and Cass
counties. and in each of the two north
window exhibits are the products Of a
single farm.

80 they be. by gum! There are Chilli
equashes and Hubbard squashes and
Ethiopian squashes and long squashes
and fat squashes and Warty squashes
and green ones and salmon colored
ores. but most OF them weren't Ia
beled. 30 We can't say which is which.
No doubt they all had Christian
names and we would take a chance

the Observation-Disclosures display at
Adler's. Here are also some OF the
neatest. most compact little magnetOs
you ever saw. and knife switches and
long black spark coils and cigar
lighters with lots Of ginger-all Of
them tastefully arranged and invit-
ing inspection by hurrying passers-
by.
out on the curb is an assortment
OF squashes NeapOlitans and several
crooked neck individuals which look
as crooked and untrustwOrthy as any
squash could be.
in the south window at Beitners' is
dazzling array of highly polished
self-starting fat irons made by the
Modern Speciality Mfg. Co. and they
look not unlike flOtilla of miniature
battleships on parade. There is one
jim dandy finished in gun metal an
other in FURNISHED copper, but most
OF them finished in nickel. The flag
ship Is a big tailOr's goose distin-
guished by perky white bow on its
yard-arm.
Outside is an exhibit of egg plants,
rich purple In color with the eXcep-
ton OF one poor Outcast with for
lOrn. seasick- green complexion.
Ranges on Display.
rfn "a the
display Of the Malleable Steel Range
Mfg. Co. at Spires and they include
a colonial gas range and two leg
base ranges-One with reservoir and
one without. Sections of corners and
various small parts are shown, and
the Arrangement OF the whole makes
a very attractive Ghibit.
ON the walk IS a stand full of
shocked corn-and very justihably
shocked at the many slit skirts that
swish past this point
Neat groups OF white field corn are
displayed at Newmans :, all OF them
remarkably large In size and or uni
form structure They form quite a
contrast TO the dainty and very un-
rural display OF hats in the window
across the walk.
No one would think as many varie-
ties Of pop corn grew as are on dis
play at the New York candy store.
They are of all sizes and colors, from
the shy little mousey ears 10 the
strapping big yellow fellows, ana
some have kernels so sharp that they
would make the best kind OF back
scratchers and others so smooth that
they look like orange-colored glass
beads.
The Range Eternal, manufactured
by the Fngman- Matthews Range Co.
is exhibited in the big north window
at RobertsOn's. and neat capped

the Range Eternal looks very bust
ness-Iike-and in fact the Range
Eternal Is very business-llke, for 1t
was on a Range Eternal that the
prize-winning loaf Of bread was
baked. Down in the corner OF me
window is a large mounted muskle'
caught by AL Stephenson, and when
taken from the water weighed 70
mounds. There at least is one big one
which didn't get away.
Pumpkins Draw Crowds.
On the walk is a row of enormous
pumpkins which always draw atten-
ton on account OF their size-Just
the same as the elephant draws the
crowds away from the sacred bull or
the Asiauc camel at the circus.
l. Q. Gross Co. at the Independent
1O-cent store have provided large
assortment of OVerallS-brOWn ones
for farmers. blue-striped ones for en-
gineers and maChinists and white
ones for painters and decorators.
And then we have here, too. a
family of distorted sQuashes. y nor
NAL squash is distorted enough. but
a distorted normal squash is the NJ -
thing 10 the limit in anDearance.
Tomatoes at the WalkOver shoe
store. from the little pee-wee the size
OF a currant 20 the big bruiser the
size OF about a foot in circumference,
are ranged In red. yellow and green
piles. Some Of the large ones would
make excellent missiles for Halloween
pastimes II they We're allowed TO
ripen thoroughly first.
At the Wilhelm ladies' tailor shop
street lamp shades. ornamental street
fixtures and several breeds Of switch
os make UP the Geo. Gutter display.
The open air exhibit consists OF a
nrofusion OF parsnips-a vegetable
1-er- nice IN soup but in a personal
way painfully lacking I'm romance.
