Crowds at the Cider Mills

All along the road were signs dis
played from the blacksmith and other
shops to the effect that cider would be
made on certain days in the week and
people could bring their apples and
have them ground into cider. The ei-
der mill was seen in hundred in
stances doing business surrounded by
people, and tin dipper hung convent.
emily close to the cider press, so that
he who cared to might drink freely and
without price. No less chan four "snit
factories" were passed in full opera
ton. \ ''snit factory is another
name for the place where they prepare
evaporated apples. No longer is the
fruit taken to cities to be evaporated.
The fruitgrower has learned new
trick and he now moves the evaporator
to his nearest town and, with other
fruit-growers forms combine, pools
the fruit and does the evaporating.
Every town has its fruit growers as
sociation, and when the members are
not looking after the fruit when it be-
gins to ripen they are holding meetings
and discussing the best methods of
orchard treatment, the probable crop
and whether the market will be a good
one. This year prices range from 25
cents bushel "at the tree to so and
20 cents delivered at the station. In
some cases the choicest apples have
been sold for 81 a bushel, or SO a
barrel, but this is choice fruit.

send away for barrels ready made, but
now he buys the slaves, hoops and
heads in bulk, all ready to be put to-
gether in the orchard, and he makes
his own barrels as he needs them. The
Adams county apple can compete any
time with the beautiful. dry, tasteless
fruit that is brought from the West
and touted as the best apple grown.
Perhaps 1t is better-looking apple
than the Adams county apple, but it is
dry and juiceleSs, tavorless and can
no more compare in quality to an Ad.

bIes State Department.

While European capitals seethed with
var news, the American capital was
strangely isolated today. Acting Secre-
fary of State Lansing had no reports
from diplomatic officers abroad, and re-
lied for information solely on the news
paper corps.
Officials Of the State Department are
admittedly somewhat troubled by the
problem of Americans abroad. Fully
$4,000 are on the continent, il is esti-
mated, and the State Department is
at loss to know how these could be re-
turned in the event of a general out
break of war. While the State De-
pertinent authorities maintained abso-
lutte silence on the point of quotation
for publication, they admitted privately
that they see absolutely no hope of
avoiding a conflict which will involve
all Europe.
Army officers. too, while under
Etrictest orders for silence from Secre-
tary Garrison. said there are SO many
ramifications in the situation that there
Is danger of the United States becoming
involved at some angle. Secretary Gar
rison said the Panama canal will be
open to all warships, provided they
make no effort to make the canal a
war zone. Japan's position was watch
ed carefully, but no word of her atti-
tude came here officially.
Army officers believe the high
effciencyIand destructiveness of modern
war machines will mean that the
struggle will be only of a few months
