Advertising Northwestern Apples

1t is not my purpose, as | have al
ady stated, to go into details, but
viii depart theretrom to the extent of
suggesting form of advertising that
appeals to me very strongly, although
| am not the author of it. We who live
III the east know from talking with our
friends and neighbors that there is
widespread ignorance on the subject of
the western apples. But very few peo-
pie know the proper season in which
the different varieties should be used;
still fewer know which varieties are
best for cooking and best for table
use. 1t is not uncommon to hear of
Wlnesaps being served in October and
Jonathans in March; but this ignor-
ance is not confined entirely to the
east, as | am told that in one of your
hotels here in North Yakima Winesaps
were offered for dessert in October.
You can readily appreciate that every
time a consumer attempts to use
western apple out of season preJu-
dice is created in his mind against the
apple, as the true explanation is not
known and does not occur to him. Or
to put it in another way, to the aver
age man or woman an apple is an
apple. Therefore, advertising should
be largely in the form of an educa-
tlonal campaign, and one method
would be to organize crew, consisting
OF say a manager, lecturer, two or
more cooking demonstrators and such
other general utility help as might be
needed, to travel all over the east, stop
ping at all the larger cities for say two
weeks, renting a store or hall II neees-
sary, although in most cities they could
secure all of the space needed In one
OF the larger retail stores without
charge because of its advertising value,
putting on display a carload OF care
Iully selected apples of the best Varl-
etles, giving lectures and cooking
demonstrations, giving away the
cooked products and also eating apples
that are in their season, using Judg-
ment, of course, in the distribution so
as to reach those who are likely to be
customers. AT these demonstrations
carefully prepared literature should De
distributed explanatory of the quality
of the different varieties and their sea-
sonableness; also distributing book
OF cooking recipes such as was recently
published in "Better Fruit.
A campaign of this kind would cost
money, and the advertising would, OF
course, not be limited to this particular
feature or plan, but when you remem-

A BETTER
SCHEDULE
IS WANTED
ON Central RY. DIVISION
Between Fort Gaines and
SmithViIIe

Members of the city council of Amer-
icus have gone on record as fayoring
a better schedule on the Central rail-
road between Fort Gaines and Smith
vile by placing another train on that
division Of the road. A vote was tax
en- on the matter at the last meeting
and council approved of the effort and
offered its aid in securing such 4
change of schedule.
Mr. J. L. Jay one of Shellmans
prominent business men and chairman
of the general committee from the sew
eral towns along the Central railway
working to the end of securing addi-
tional train service between Fort
Gaines and Smithville, spent yester,
day in Americas in behalf of that
proposition.
Accompanied by Mayor Lowrey, Mr.,
Jay called upon many of the local mer-
chants to the end of securing their
cooperation, and this was readily &C
corded. Americas is greatly interest
ed in the success of the movement
being put forth by the board of trade
and citizens generally of the towns of
Cuthbert, Fort Gaines, Shellman, Daw-
son and Bronwood to induce the Cen
trail railway to operate an additional
train between Cuthbert and Smith
vile, comparatively short distance.
Such service would afford citizens OF
all these town the opportunity of Wis
iting Americas for their shopping;
spending either half or all the day
here, and returning home at an early
hour in the evening. Appeal has been
made to the railroad commission, and
the proposition will be heard upon its
merits one day next week

FIFTY BALES OF COTTON
we're SOLD YESTERDAY
Stock of Cotton Here Rather
Small

The sale of lot of fifty bales q
cotton at the Harold warehouse yes
terday was of interest to the loo II
trade, particularly at this late date
in the season when sales of this mag
nitude are rare. The fifty bales belong
ed to two parties, and the price was
twelve cents, basis good middling.
Each successive sale now serves to
reduce local stocks to the minimum,
as there is no more cotton in the
country to be marketed, and it is only
a matter of short time until the local
warehouses will be emptied entirely

A DAUGHTER OF
The CONFEDERACY

The Savoy will present in three reels
today a beautiful historical war sto-
ry, "A Daughter of the Confederacy,
with scenes placed in Georgia in
the year 1863, the crisis of the civil
war period.
Nan, the girl spy, is sent, for she
possessed beauty, youth. wit and re-
sourcefulness. She receives her or
ders and is off Hers is hazardous
undertaking, but she falters not. She
is Daughter of the Confederacy.
Mans thrilling experience is shown
all through the war with shot and can
non roar; in the midst of all she
brayely does her duty.
In this picture today we also will
see the life OF our heroes, the horrible
life that some, few have gone through
while thousands never returnd.

COLD SPELL WILTED
The EARLY GARDENS
Cold Affected Them Very
Strongly

The premature garden promises to
be but a memory this morning, if pre-
dictions Of a heavy frost are ratified.
Many of the vegetable gardens in
Americas are far advanced, and the
slaughter of beans, potatoes, peas and
other tender plants will mean seri-
Gus loss to the growers. Many Of
them were busily engaged last night
in covering up plants as far as pos
sible, but the severe cold promised
this morning is more than likely t.
play havoc.

Such The APPALLING STORY
OF Disaster From Flood in
Ohio Alone

Columbus, Ohio, March 81 - With
Ohio rivers and streams subsiding
today the state is emerging from the
greatest food it has ever known. The
loss of life has been heavy, so heavy
that the full extent will not be re-
yealed until the waters have recede l.

state will run we'll over 1000 and that
the property damage will amount to

Dayton is the worst afflicted of the
many cities swept by the foods Not
only has the death loss from drowning
there been extremely heavy, but fire
which ragged unchecked early this
morning, threatened to destroy the
business section.
Georg F, Burba, private secretary
to Governor Cox, made a hazardous
trip to Dayton last night and reports
that the property loss will amount to
$4,000, 900 and that the deaths will
approximate 1000.

The appeal of Governor Cox for
outside help has received quick re-

supplies of all kinds were being hur-
ried from neighboring states.
The list of known dead in this city
has been increased to IL, with a miss
ing list of fifty. At Delaware the
known dead number 33. Sidney re-
ports 100 dead, and Tifin so.

SERMONS
AT fURLOW LAWN DAILY
DR.. GaViN'S Influence BEING
Felt

Daily sermons at Furlow Lawn
church by DR.. R. S. Gavin, who is as
sisting the pastor, Rev h. L. Bivins,
in two weeks of revival services, are
welding a wider influence for good
here. Yesterdays sermons are typi-
cal of the ones that are being heard:
His subject yesterday afternoon was
"The Tnwrought Prayer, or The
Kind of a Prayer God is Bound ID
Hear" And such a prayer he defn-
ed as having several important ele,
ments if which he emphasized five
as being specially timely at this time,
namely Earnestness, Pointedness,
Faith, Work, Persistence.
"Earnestness," he said, lis that in
Idescribable something that enables you
to go about the doing of thing with
the determination that it has got to
happen. Pointedness in prayer" ne
said, lis to prayer what a plan is to
the building of house. Faith is an
other important element. Not faith in
your faith, for that is idolatry; but
filth in God Work is an important
element in an inwrought prayer. God
always answers prayer at the limit OF
ones ability to answer his own prayer.
James says that faith without works is
impossible. So is prayer unless it s
impossible for the praying one to
back up his praying with some honest
work"
Under the last head the minister
showed how this inwrought prayer has
two sides, asking and receiving. He
then declared that if one stops praying
for anything before he gets it, or be-
fore God shows him in His way thas
what he is asking for is not what he
ought to have he pulls his prayer
green.
Last night the subject was Divine
Pottery" He showed how God is the
potter, and all human life is the clay;
how God is doing his best to make out
of every life vessel of honor; how
He loves all men; though hating sin.
how every one, by his material, his
daily living, turns into the Divine
Potter, is making now a heaven or
hell for his eternity; how Gods ideal is
the restoration of every one to the
divine favor in a personal acceptance
of Jesus Christ as Saviour, and then
ultimately, to the divine likeness in
the Lordship of Jesus. He showed
clearly how God sends nobody to hell
arbitrarily; but everyone, by his own
INSTRUMENTATION to the divine will in
the rejection of Jesus Christ as Sa =
Jour and Lord, works out his own
damnation The minister's sermons
abound in illustrations that are living
pictures of the truths he discusses.
IT. other words, his illustrations really
illustrate, and to appreciate them full
ly, one has TO go to hear them as he
gives them.

THOUSANDS join
IN BURYING The
STORM VICTIMS
OMAHA SORELY STRICKEN
Many Bodies Sent From City
For Burial

Omaha, Neb, March 27-Burying
the dead and work of reconstruction
occupied tornado-stricken Omaha To-
day. Paying last rites occupied the
time of thousands of persons. Fune"-
ais were held in all parts of the city.
Many of the bodies recovered from
the wrecks were cared for at under
taking establishments, and a great
number of funerals were held from
those places.
Whenever possible the friends of the
stricken victims took care of bodies
and had them prepared for burial.
In many instances churches were
demolished in the district covered hy
the storm, and others were so badly
wrecked as to prevent them being
used for burial services. Nearly 100
funerals were held Many bodies have
been sent to out of town relatives.
The authorities have begun to uncover
all of the wreckage in order to remove
any bodies that may be buried.
The real estate exchange has taken
steps to prevent the raising of rents,
Already cases of alleged attempted
extortion have been reported, some by
members of the exchange itself The
executives of that body decided ID
deal harshly with any owners of the
exchange taking advantage of those
forced to secure new homes on &C
count of the tornado.
Hundreds of persons from all parts
of the country unable to hear from
relatives have come to the city seek
ing news.
Many persons known to have been
ridden by, the storm are still missing
and everything possible is being done
to locate them
Plans for the immediate rebuild
ing of the wrecked district are beins
worked out by a big company of
Omaha business men and a corpora
ton is being formed to handle the
matter in a systematic manner ami
assist the unfortunates who lost their
homes and personal effects. This in
stitution will begin at once the task
OF at least partially reconstructing
many homes.
A public appeal sent out by the
Commercial club says that 642 homes
were totally wrecked, 1869 were dam
aged, and 3,179 persons made home
less.
