communication requesting that the resi-

day i'll Indiana.
The governors request was made in ali
open letter to Edward r. Smith president
or the Indiana apple show commission.
There has been in the past too much
neglect of the orchards not only in In
diana. but elsewhere wrote the govern
or. Like Topsy. apples were not raised,
but they 'jes' g-owed,' and the trees were
expected to bring forth nit without
much, if any, aid from the farmer. This
indifference has cost our state and cotIn-
try a vast sum, both in the loss of apples
and orchards in many cases
heartily approve your suggestion
that the third Tuesday in October BE-, oh
served as apple day and that each person
In the state should eat at least one apple
on that day. i'm accordance with the t-adi-
tloil that an apple each day keeps the

Lieut.. Lyons Tells of Expert
ences After Rise From

Bearing on the charges made In the
newspapers by former Paymaster Mid
dIeton of the existence of snobbery III
the Navy, Secretary Daniels has made
public a letter addressed to him by Lieut..
D. Lyons, former enlisted man, who in
1904 was promoted to commissioned rank:
Having read recently in the news
papers," said Lieut. Lyons, articles pur-
porting to have been written by an eX-
officer in the naval service, in which he
states that officers who are not sradu-
ates of the Naval Academy are subjected
to social and professional discrimination,
to refute the above statement / wish
to offer my personal experience as
commissioned officer in the United States
naval service.
"In 1904 1 was promoted to ensign from
a warrant officer (eunner), and again in
1907 to lieutenant Junior grade and leu
tenant During this period and UP to- the
present time l have not been dlscriml-
mated against, socially or otherwise, but
to the contrary was made to 1eei tliat
there was absolutely no distinction be-
tween the graduates of the Naval Acad-
emy and myself. Moreover this expert
erce is common to all officers who Were
promoted from warrant officers and with
whom l have spoken. in recard to the
subject.
80, in justice to the United States
ravaI service in general, and particularly
the officers graduates of the Naval
Academy with whom l have mad tue
n easure of serving, both afloat and
ashore I cannot refra II from replying to
the statements made by this officer and
emphasizing the fact that they are I'M

rant and commissioned officer extends
over q period of twenty-seven years"
