State suffering more than Piedmont,
but in the latter red apples dropped
considerably after a frost on April
21st.
The full extent OF the damage done

RECEIVE MONEY
PRESIDENT ROBERT wHTTTET
EXPLAINS SITUATION ON PRO-
POSED NEW BRIDGE.

I'VE have the funds in hand with
which to pay the inner in the com
petition for plans for the proposed
new Ninth street bridge" said Com
missioner Robert Whittet yesterday.
I'VE have not felt that there IL neces-
sity for hurry in the matter. as II
will be some time before work on the
bridge is started. Naturally the COM
petitors wish to know the names of
the winners. We examined many
plans. The examination was made
by the board. the city engineer and
Mr.. Johnson. OF the firm OF Carneal
& Johnson. who vas brought n the
matter as an expert. We had the
benefit. also. of Commissioner Beck.
himself AN engineer.
80 there Ia no eason to worry
ION the part of any one, except the
architects who may wish to get the
money from the contest"
This expression by Mr.. Whittet
was brought about by criticism Of
the board by the Engineering News.
The News stated that h a had
gone about the matter in a bad way.
and that the architects deserved more
consideration from them.
The board offered W prizes. one
of $500, the other $500. This
money is at the command OF the
board. The awards have not yet
been made. however. as the board has
not fully completed its examination
of the plans and the conditions. Meth
er has the route been hxed upon.
when we get ready to make the
awards" said Mr.. Whfttet. ss'the sue
cessful architects will get their
money"

WHY FARMS BRING
SUCH LOW PRICES
OWNERS DO NOT KEEP THEM IN
SUCH SHAPE AS TO IMPRESS
THE PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER
A FEW SUGGESTIONS
IDEA Is TO MAKE THE PROPERTY
AS ATTRACTIVE As POSSIBLE
BEFORE 1T IS PLACED UPON
THE MARKET.
4 FEW SUGGESTIONS
Bx r. S.

There seems to De u great ue2i OF
/ question in the minds of the selling
public as to the lou prices that have
been prevailing on Virginia farms,
and there have ON to me many In
-auiries IA To the reason. This is
quite a broad question. but I believe
that while | eannot give all OF he
reasons that are responsible for the
low prices, still / think that ! can
give some. and IL these causes will be
remedied hy the farmers of Il State
they will be gratihed in receiving in
creased prices for their farms when
they wish to sell.
Have you ever stopped TO think OF
the condition of our farms as COM
pared To those OF the Middle West?
A short time ago the writer tool
occasion to take a trip through South
ern Illinois, and made comparison Of
the farms he visited with those at
home.
Western Farms Wen Kept
For instance, all OF the farms that
I visited were wel1-kept and showed
that the owner were taking an In
terest in their places, and I could see
with what pride the owners would
show us over their farms. Take the
barns for example: they were all we'll
@t~Np vi e ~ "
with stables for the stock either on
the south side or else Underneath.
All OF these were equipped with the
latest labor-saving devices In the
lofts there were hay-carriers for talk
ing h hay from the wagons when
unloading; there were chutes from
the corn bins to the different stalls
of the horses TO save time and trou-
BILE in, the feeding. The stalls were
also equipped with racks for the hay
connecting with the loft. and this
feature eliminated the danger and In
convenience of going behind the horses
at feeding time. There were litter
carriers running behind the stalls for
removing the droppinEs, and the stalls
were all nicely Uttered every day. this,
as you a zee. giving comfort TO the
horses and adding to the manure heap
for fertiiizing.
Other things about the place were
in keeping with the barn and stable.
The house. was equipped with hot and
cold water in all OF the rooms supplied
by a hydraulic ram at the spring, In
the kitehen there was a sink. kitchen
cabinet n many little conveniences
for the women of the house making
work lighter and p~leasanter for them
and also giving them a chance to take
advantage OF the auto trips that the
family took after supper In the eve-
nings. s&s f@a: .st
Reasons for Low Prices.
But / am leaving my subject. I
started out to give. some of the rea-
son for low prices. The whole thing
in a nutshell Is that the farmers when
they get ready to sell, leave their
places in such shape that the pur-
chasers coming from a section where
things look neat and prosperous an

GATES DIES AFTER
WEEK OF REVELRY
Continued from first page.

Office hours soon began to make him a ma
tional character In the stock market
and as a turf plunger practical joker
and automobile speeder, he had few peers
and his reckless use OF money soon at
tracted attention.
The West and its business possibilities
for excitement did not absorb his atten-
ton long. A dozen years ago he appeared
in New York. bought a Stock Exchange
seat for S5l ,000-then a record price-and
opened a banking and brokerage office in
lower Broadway. There. while not busily
engaged In putting coin Of the realm in
circulation in the White Light district.
ne ran his brokerage business until 1901,
when. after an unsuccessful attempt TO
break steel combine. his firm went out
OF business. paying up more than SD-
0OOO00 of debts
