Two days before j. S. Appel, who
was killed in the Folsom road near
Sacramento yesterday, left San Fran
cisco to join the automobile touring
party. his wife had a presentment of
an accident and begged her husband
not to go.

came into my mind that Mr.. Abel had
better give up his trip" Mrs Appel
said at her home, 367 Seventeenth
avenue, 'and 1 asked him several times
if he wouldn't arrange to stay at
home. He left home Wednesday. meet
ing the party at Lake Tahoe. From
the moment he went away, I began
worrying about his safety"
Mrs. Appel said her husband had
been planning the trip and looking
forward to it for weeks and that he
had taken great interest in the
midland trail idea from the time of
its inception. owing to this fact. she
said, she did not insist upon him To
remain at home, after he had said that
he was eager to make the trip.

from Denver. Mr.. Appel was Pacific
coast and intermountain states renre-
sentative of the Motor Field, published
in Denver. His Office was in the Monad-
mock building.
The editor of the publication is
George M. Schell. With Mr.. SchelI.
Mr. Appel had been awarded the con-
tract of publishing the official program
of the Panama Pacific International ex-
position.
About the hour Mr.. Appel met his
death Mrs. Appel received a special
delivery letter from her husband. He
told of having met the party as ar
ranged and of a "a hour declay, which
would bring him to Oakland one day
later than he had planned
Previous to his departure Mrs. Appel
had agreed to meet her husband in
Oakland upon his arrival. In the letter
Mr. Appel reminded her of their en-
gagement and asked her to be sure
and be at the appointed place

The Choral Union

Not all the artists who will appear at
the Musical Festival are strangers to a
Morrsville audience, but among the
number are several with whose musical
ability the people of this locality are not
unfamiliar.
One of this number is Mrs. Frederick
c. Southgate of Woodstock, who will be
remembered by many for her artistic and
delightful piano solos given on the oc-
casion of one of the annual summer con
certs in the Congregational church in
this village. Mrs. Southgate will give
two piano solos during the week, in
addition to accompanying the soloists.
To all those who heard little Marion
Jordan, who appeared at a concert in
town last fall, the announcement that
she will play at the festival will be most
welcome. Although but child in years,
being only % years of age, she is flute
sooist of great ability. No better praise
could be given her than the end orsement
of the famous band leader, JohnP P. Sousa,

of Mrs. H. E. Jordan and a copy of

LATE POTATOES
Eternal Vigilance Is Price Of Sub
stantiaI Yield.
in,psrativeiy Necessary TO Maintain
Dirt or Dust Mulch to Prevent
Needless Waste Of Moisture
by Evaporation.
(By w. M. KELLEY

During July and August the right
kind Of work must be given the late
potatoes regularly, for eternal vigi-
lance in the potato patch is the price
Of a good yield of tubers. II they
are properly looked after they will
clean in the rows, with hardly a
weed in hills.
AS soon as the plants show in rows
across a field start the cultivator and
set the teeth to run four or FIVE
inches deep the first time over the
ground. This loosens up the COM
tacted soil and gives the tiny rootlets
better chance to penetrate between
the soil PARTICLES.
From then maintain a dirt or dust
mulch in between the rows and
around the hills. This is imperative
ly necessary to prevent the needless
waste of moisture by evaporation. To
check this the dirt mulch acts as a
blanket by cutting off the multitudes
of little holes which appear through
the crust and through which the sun
pumps the water out very rapidly.
1t is a puzzle sometimes to know
just what is the best tool to use at
all times In cultivating potatoes
through the growing season. The
horse weeder is one that may be used
at certain times In the potato field
to alternate with the spring-toothed
cultivator, especially when the pota-
toes are planted in drills
1t levels the ground and destroys
a multitude Of weeds. Then for few
days the cultivator takes hold and
does better work than 1t would if the
teeth followed right In the same
teeth tracks as before.
The weeder sometimes does more
damage than good, II used improperly.

quently over the same ground be-
tween the rows, working as close to
the hills as possible. But II the sea
son is wet l get out my old shovel
pillow and corugate the surface quite
deep.
This is for the purpose Of exposing
q much larger portion Of the surface
soil and thus hasted the evaporation
of the excess Of moisture therein. A
moderate drought during the growing
season does not do as much injury as
too much moisture.

NEED OF THE "MUcKRAKER'

Since Work 10 for the Common
Good Of All.

What a confusion of ideas there Ii
in our modern use of the word muck
raking!" 1t has been so wrested from
it's original meaning that John Bunyan
would not recognize II. In the great
allegory the sordid pilgrim gave his
whole attention to the straws and rub
bish and ignored the angel above his
head. His conduct was reprehensible.
But today when brave man lays bare
the corruption Of town or city 1t is
called Undertaking" and sometimes
frowned upon by ease-loving burghers.
when 1t is really ethical and social san
itation. Often the Investigator brings
to our attention unpleasant facts: but
II they are facts we ought to be CRATE
full to him. Any man who warns US
when our house is afire or informs us
about some overlooked disease-breed-
ing refuse near our house, that man
deserves our thanks. Why vilify the
person who is trying to prevent the
spread OF disease, physical or social?
Undertaking" forsooth! Our protest
should be made not against the "rak-
ing" but against the muck" And
muck" or graft or inefIiciency must
first be pointed out before the cleans
ing can take place Many cities OF our
land have better public service today
because OF the efforts OF certain reso-
lutte muckrakers. We need more OF
this work rather than less. As long as
there is muck. just so long let 1t be
raked out into view and condemned
and removed. Let the reformer rake
all the more bravely and thoroughly.
