A story that Irwin Cobb likes to tell
is that when he left his native town
and went East to make his name and
fortune and was introduced as Cobb,
of Paducah," frequent query was:
"Paducah-is that the name of drink
or a recently discovered diseased"
Most everybody that knows Cobb now
knows that Paducah is the metropolis
of West Kentucky, the home of Judge
Priest" and that there Mr.. Cobb has
found the inspiration for many of his
best stories and humorous sketches.
To use a bromide, Cobb put Paducah
on the map.
There is another man in the country
near Paducah who will bring added
fame to the town in a few years, as
well as to the state. Ask anyone you
meet what Kentucky is noted for, and
the answer will be: For its pretty
women, fine WHISTLES and fast horses
and tobacco. In very short time the
knowing ones will reply: Its pretty
women, fine apples-at least, chival-
rous men will place the ladies first,
and deservedly, too-fast horses and
tobacco. The days of whiskey seem to
be numbered, since the greater portion
of Kentucky is now dry" The COM
monwealth will always be famed for
its tobacco, but recently it has been
discovered that the apple is a BIC
possibility and destined to be leading
crop in a short time
A good deal of credit for this is
due to one man just out of Paducah-
Herbert Anderson. Mr.. Anderson has
awakened the people of his section and
all over the state to the fact that his
immediate neighborhood raises the
finest winesap apples grown in the
United States. He has been doing it
for years, but, like the prophet we are
oft told of, the folk in his own coun-
try did not give him honor. Ander-
sons apples have been known to the
Agriculture Department at Washing
ton, where they have been declared
to be the best of their character of
which it has record, and they have
received equal recognition from the

Kentucky's Apple King
By E. ]. Paxton

Lexington. writing IN the lnland
Farmer, Lowell Roudebush, an au-
thority, says: Kentuckians-Don't
forget this: For the forty-ninth
time we have said it-your state is
great in fruit possibilities In
1912 the finest winter apples of their
varieties | saw were in McCracken
County, in the Purchase. Just think of
it! Better than | saw in New York.
All because there was man behind
them"
"The man behind them" was Herbert
Anderson. In the year Mr.. Roudebush
speaks of, Anderson gathered nearly
1900 bushels of apples from twelve
acres. Any man who knows the value
of a good winesap apple can easily
compute what the return was. In tell
ing the story of how he learned to
raise apples, Mr.. Anderson said when
he first started out to farm, as a young
man, he planted three acres in apples
for his table use. 81 have always con-
tended that anything you do should re-
ceive all of your thought and energy.
So ! started out with those baby trees
to tend them as carefully, as pains
takingly as / could, and soon learned
it was quite task. Each season taught
me more and more. At first | did not
succeed, but in fifteen years now have
never had failure. All that is neces-
sary in this community to raise fine
apples is knowing how and work
ing. The job can't be delegated to
the hired man. 1t needs scientific
attention. Give the proper culture,
fertilizer, pruning and spraying and
Nature will do all the rest The
crop is sure and certain. We,
down here, do not have to artih-
cially heat our orchards to protect
from Spring frosts. We give our
trees the necessary vitality, and
the frosts we have do not injure
them at all"
Mr.. Anderson has a great many
trees on his place producing rs to
80 bushels each, and at $1.50 a
bushel, it is easy to figure the
yield in dollars and cents. He is a
crank about his trees receiving the
proper attention, and it is doubtful
if the most devoted mother visits
more attention on a favorite child
than he does on all of his trees. OF
course, to this is due in a measure
of his success. Like all successful
fruit growers, he has done some ex-
perimenting and he has developed
a seeding from a Rome Beauty
which he calls "The Paducah" that
apple dealers declare will make
Paducah famous. 1t is a splendid
apple in every way and comes just
at a time when there are no other
apples on the market-in August
and commands not less than $3.50
a bushel at the orchard. 1t is pre-
dicted by those who profess to
know that almost all America will
be eating "The Paducah" before
long. Then Mr.. Cobb can tell

few knots faster. The craft has not been christened but a formal cere- nlony will be held when she glides into the river and anchors alongside the large fleet of pleasure craft that tie up in that stream.
 From stem to stern the boat measures twenty-five feet She has a beam of seven feet and her draft will be about thirty inches. She is equipped with a Hubbard two-cylinder marine en- zine made in Middletown, which will develop eleven horsepower and send the boat along at spanking rate of about ten miles per hour Her equip ment includes a thirty-two gallon tank for gasoline, which will be suf- ficient for trip of nearly 200 miles.
 The hull is of cypress planking and the cabin is of quartered oak high ly finished and with brass trimmings. The cabin will accomm odate about fourteen people comfortably and the owners plan to fit it up with collaps- 1ble sleeping quarters which may be slowed away during the day. It has a self-bailing cockpit and stands apout seven feet high from keel to the roof of the cabin. The propeller, one oL three blades, measures tWen- ty-two inches across and looks as if it might kick the launch along in jig style.
 Taken all in all, the boat will be one of the prettiest the whole length of the Connecticut river. She has a ship-shape appearance about her and will no doubt be envied bv other water folk. MT. Hale, who is a we'll known carpenter, and MT. Rockwell. who is employed by the Adkins Printing company, constructed the boat after working hours and lost no time from their regular employ ment. MT. Hale has worked on and supervised the construction of three other launches and his friends feel confident that he could build an en- tire new fleet of battleships for any of the troubled European powers who want some new floating forts in hurry. The owners and their fam flies anticipate some pleasant cruises up and down the river and through the sound before winter calls halt to activities on the water.

VERY LITTLE DATA
 GAINED BY RACE
Resolute in Yesterdays Contest Proved Her Superior Drifting
 Abilities Over Vanitie.

Port Jefferson, IN. Y, Aug. 1.- Placid weather still prevailed in Long Island Sound when the New York Yacht club fleet and the two cup de- lenders Resolute and Vanitie made sail today for the second run of the cruise to New London.
 It was generally admitted that eX- cept as a still further demonstration of the superior drifting abilities of the Resolute, the race yesterday for the cup yachts gave the Americas cup committee very little additional data as to the comparative merits of the two yachts.
 The fleet was under way early for the racing run was fifty-three miles fl om the start under the Smithtown Bluffs to the finish at Sarah's Ledge buoy at the entrance of the Thames. The cup yachts were again sent off in the lead, followed by little thirty Hooters and then by classes of in- creasing size until the schooner Iro- llta brought up the rear.

RECORD NEWARK BUILDING.
August showed Highest Total Cost
In City's History.

NEWARK. y. J.. Sept "a record in
the amount Of money Involved In build
ing operations was made In this city dur
ing the month OF August. when 1s9 per
mits, representing an outlay of s3,I96.233,
were approved by Superintendent OF
Buildings William T. O'Rourke. II was
the busiest month for the department
this year. The total cost Of the building
work was given boost by the granting
Of the permit for the eight story once
building and trolley terminal OF the Pub
lie Service Corporation In Park place,
which calls for an expenditure Of $500
600
Prior to August the best month In the
history Of the department was December.
1913, when the estimated aggregate cost
OF i6S permits was t3.1s5.s2S. about sl1.-
000 less than last month.

The builders intentions are reflected in
the building. for 1t looks more like an
old fashioned apartment house than an
Office building of any period Accord
ing to the story told the building OF an
apartment house was well advanced
when the builder changed his mind and
finished IL rs an office building. He
reasoned like the real estate man re-
ferred TO shove, that business men
would be glad to live near their places
Of business. Wall street was near by
and If fine building was to be erected
Wall street would tenant II.
Strange TO say, this is not the case
Men In Wall street travel far to their
homes, being masters usually OF their
time. Tfts was shown to Searles, whose
family now own the building, and ne
dreaded that he might he wrong. and as
the mistake would be a costly one, he
decided to build building the success
OF which was assured. So that was the
end OF the first real attempt To build an
apartment house at the Battery.
