Apples Win Prizes.

Western Michigan apples took first
prize at the apple show held at Cleve-
land during the convention IF the Ma
tional Apple Shippers association.
There were sixty-four varieties shown
from this section of the state by the
Western Michigan Development bureau
WHICH was the largest display made by
any locality in the country. The apples
were picked in their present state of
development, and made such an i'm
preston upon the president of the as
sociation that he expressed q desire 10
buy all the apples grown in western
Michigan. This is one more proof of
the superiority of the Western Mich
igan product, and when the fruit is
carefully selected the taking of first
prizes at any of the shows in the coun-
try is only matter of form and does
not require any strenuous effort. It is a
certainty that the attention of the en-.
tire United States is centering upon
this section as the real home OF good
fruit and with little care and atten-
ton on the part of the growers to the
packing, and marketing end of the
business, it is only question of short
time before western Michigan will oc-
cupy the same position in the public
mind in the fruit business as the Hood
River country did only short time age
1t is general acknowledged fact that
the finest fruit in the world is grown
here, but the careless manner in which
it has been handled in the past has
held the region back as to reputation
as fruit center. Now that the new
fruit packing law is soon to become ef-
fective this trouble will be done away
with, and all that the growers will have
to do in order TO firmly establish the
reputation of Western Michigan as the
leading fruit center of the nation, is tC
strictly adhere to the provisions Of the
law and the merits of the goods they
raise will take care of themselves in the
markets of the world. The honors wor
at Cleveland will go a great way toward
making the buyers of the country lool
in this direction for their fancy stock il
the future.

Do Not Qualify.

At conservative estimate, less than
two-thirds OF the school officers of the
state of Michigan have legally qualified
for their offices. In order to qualify
for the office, the individual must each
time he or she is elected, file written
acceptance within ten days after the
election and an affidavit to the effect
that the officer is citizen of the Uni
ted States, Fl years of age, a resident of
the district at least three months previ-
Gus to the election, owner of property
assessed in the district for school taxes
and his name appears on the assess
ment roll. In case of joint deed both
husband and wife may hold office, re-
gardless of which name appears on the
assessment roll.
Heretofore this affidavit had to be
taken before notary PUBLIC or justice
of peace. Beginning August IA, it may
also be taken before the senior officer,
in point of service, on the board. School
officers who have failed to qualify with
in the prescribed time may do so later
unless the office is declared vacant
when the vacancy will have to be filled
by the township board or the other
members of the school board

Helene Gpilbert In "The Thief
at the Temple Next Week

Helene Guilbert, who plays the lead
ing role in "The Thief" Henri Bern
STEMS great play which appears at the
Temple Theatre on Thursday, August
2Ist, has the distinction of being one of
the few women who has received the
thanks of city through the mayor of
the place.
While playing in Arkadelphia, Ark,
recently, Miss Guilbert had an oppor-
tunity to prove herself heroine. 1t
was during the second act of the play
which was being presented to a large
audience. During the action of the
play. some boys in the alley set fire to
barrel of trash and ran into the lobby
Of the theatre yelling fire The audi
ence rose en- masse and started for the
exits. Miss G,iilbert grasped the situ-
atibn at 3 glance and went on with her
lines and III s'few moments quelled a
panic that would undoubtedly result in
great Nls of life had it not been for
her presence of mind. AS soon as the
audience realized what had been done
to quell the panic, storm of applause
arose and il was several minutes before
Miss Guilbert could go on with the play
The morning following the occurrence,
Mayor w. A. Jackson called on Miss
Guilbert at her hotel and thanked her
in behalf of the city for her part in saw
ing many of the people in the town
from serious injury and possibly death.
In answering Mayor Jackson, Miss
Guilbert said, "Ah it was nothing, any
level headed person would have done
the same thing under the circumstances
saw that something had to be done
and done quickly or terrible casas-
trophe would have happened

New Packing Law.

On August II, the Jakway bill, which
was passed by the last legislature will
become effective, and il will be well
for the fruit growers and dealers to
post up on the provisions of the meas
uye. This bill was passed for the pur-
pose of securing an honest pack Of
fruit and the proper labelling of the
same and carries a penalty for viola
tons. The fruit packed in the future
must be of uniform size, color and be
free from disfiguring diseases to the
amount of ninety per cent, but an al
lowance is made for natural deteriora-
ton while in transit. It also does away
with the facing of packages of fruit
with fine specimens and the filling of
the baaket, box or barrel with fruit Of
inferior quality. Not less than twenty
per cent of the contents of the package
can be of smaller size than the top lay
er and the packer get away with it un-
der the law.
1t will be interesting to note how the
law works out in the state and how
many will fail to observe it and get in
to trouble. The custom of putting any
kind of inferior fruit in the middle of q
package by certain growers led to the
passage of the bill in order that the
Michigan fruit could be brought up to
the grade of the western product. The
future of the fruit industry Of the state
depends upon the successful working
of this law, for it is necessary to regu-
late dishonest packers in order to Sc
cure and keep a market and secure a
reputation for the Michigan product.
There has been wonderful change in
methods of packing in this section dur
ing the past two years, but there is
still room for improvement in many
directions. and it is expected that this
bill will be the means OF securing un-
form grade of fruit in this region.
The observance of this law by the
growers will mean much to the region
in the way Of establishing reputation
for the local fruit. The law applies to
the ones who sell fruit on the market
as well as the grawer aud the same
penalties are applied.

State is Healthy.

Lansing, Aug. 9.-Secretary Dixon
Of the state board of health, received
word today that there are three well
developed cases of smallpox in Saline,
Wastenaw, county, and Doctor Dixon

reported.
Throughout the state" declared DR..

the railroads are respecting the state
law better than ever before and gener.
ally speaking the health of the people
Of Michigan much improved. Although
the months of September and October
