Handwriting on the Wan.
(Grand Junction sentinel.)

Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, the great So
cial queen, gave her long looked for
ward to Mother Goose ball on Friday
night at Newport. 1t is said that the
decorations alone cost Mrs. Fish $2O,-
600. The flowers cost another $4,000
and thousands upon thousands of dol
lars were spent on other features of
the ball, and Mrs. Fish wore a gown
that cost small fortune itself
There were five hundred guests and
the jewelry worn by these drones and
buttrflies was conservatively ap-
praised at s12,OOO,OOO. Wealth was
there in all its glory. Each of the la
dies present had expended over $4,000
on her toilet and gown for this ball.
Mrs. Fish's Mother Goose ball made
great hit. A big fortune went up in
that good time-that dress show, that
Down in New York city, Just a little
way from gay Newport, a score or
more of babies died the day and night
of the Mother Goose ball-died in the
hell-heated tenements, died because
there was no money to buy thin pro-
per food, no fund to make it possible
for them to breathe Gods pure fresh
air out in the open under the trees. A
score died that day; many had been
dying for many long weeks from the
same cause-they have been dying
daily ever since.
In other great cities throughout the
land the same toll is being taken dur
ing the hot weather from among the
children of the poor
1t is said that $40 would save the
life of babe of the tenements during
the heated weather. Death is running
riot in the crowded tenements these
hot days and nights because money is
lacking to provide the necessities and
to give each little babe his or her
chance to live.
Wealth ran riot down at the Mother |
Goose ball the other night. Fortunes
were spent and golden sovereigns !
melted in pampered hands, just to |
provide the idle rich with night OF
pleasure. And the Mother Goose ball
is just one of the many big series of
lavish summer affairs the like of
which Solomon's or Belshazzer's never
knew.
How many little lives could have
been saved this summer with the for
tunes that went to provide Mrs. Fish's

APPLE CROP OF MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY REDUCED 90 PER CENT

The entire druth-ridden states Of
the Mississippi valley have been so
scorched that the apple crop is not
more than 10 per cent Of normal
yield. Such fruit as they have been
able to save is undersized and no
good for the market, but the buyers
are not advertising this fact and are
trying to keep 1t mum for fear some
body out in this country might hear
about it. Besides this. the continued
hot blasts of August are bound to
have a very deleterious effect on the
fruit buds for next season, which will
mean another short crop on top of the
present one. The apple crop OF the
OZarks this season Is the poorest II
has been for many years, and for all
varieties only about 10 per cent of
normal yield will be realized.
The orchards which were not
sprayed are a complete failure. A
few orchards which have been proper
ly cared tor may produce rs per cent
for Jonathans, so per cent for Yorks
and 25 per cent for Ben Davis, but
later developments have discounted
this calculation very materially. and
II will be great luck II they can come
through with anything, for the drop
has been very heavy during the last
fortnight. Those OF our people who
have apples to sell need not prepare
to sell them now, but should hold
them for higher prices. We are pre-
dieting that the entire crop for the
United States will not be 10000, 900
barrels this year. and we can remem-
Der the season when 1t was $4,000, 900
barrels-Field and Farm.

COLORADO GETS 100000
FOR MOVEMENT OF CROPS

Secretary McAdoo announced last
Friday the apportionment as far as
it had been completed of the $50,000,-
900 to be deposited by the government
in national banks of the west and
south to facilitate the movement and
marketing of crops.
The total amount allotted to date is
SAC 100000, of which $24, 100000 goes
to banks in the fourteen western
states and S21.S00,000 to the thirteen
southern states and the District of Co
lumbia Those in the west want the
money apportioned to them during
September, October and Novmber.
The money will be allowed to remain
on deposit ON an average of four or
five months. All of it is to be re-
turned not later than next April.
In a statement announcing the ap-
portionment Secretary McAdoo said:
"The funds are deposited in the
banks in the west and south at this
is a special demand for money to as
sist in marketing the crops which are
now being harvested in these particu-
lar sections, but if in the east and
elsewhere it should be shown that
there is need for the temporary use
of funds for similar legitimate pur-
poses, the government will be quite
as ready to extend similar aid.'
Many factors are taken into consid-
Grafton in arriving at the apportion-
south.
Among these" the secretary said,
were the immediate needs of the To-
calities as reported by committees of
the clearing houses in the conferences
held with them in Washington, the
capital of the different national banks
and the character of the business
transacted by them, the amount OF
money which these banks are at the
present time advancing to their coun-
try bank correspondents and the addi-
tional accommodations which they eX-
pect to extend to these correspond
ents; their present condition as shown
by the. last comptroller's last call.
their outstanding circulation and the
amount of rediscounts they may have
made in their efforts TO meet the le-
gitimate demands upon them of Gus
toners and correspondents"
In each depository city the govern
ment has chosen special representa-
tive, who will serve in conjunction
with a clearing house committee of
five to pass all commercial paper rec
commended as security for deposits,
and all paper before being accepted
must be unanimously recommended by
this committee. Following are the
amounts allotted to each OF the west

positories and a partial list OF the gov
ernment' representatives.:
