THIS is DAY OF
BIG, RED APPLE
Systematic Effort Being Made
to Boost the Popularity
of the Fruit.
LAY IN WINTER SUPPLY
Endeavor Made to Impress Dealers
With Importance of Selling
at Low Margin.
Today is apple day.

Today is apple day.
For 10 years the third Tuesday in
October has been celebrated as a ma
tional apple day. President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan have each set
the example of buying a barrel OF ap-
pies to be used today. Special pro-
grams for the celebration of apple day
in the public schools have been widely
circulated. In many localities apple
growers organizations will award
prizes for the best essays written upon
the subject of apples. Thousands OF
bushels of the fruit are to be distrib-
uted free and the beneficial attributes
of the apple as an article of food will
be so generally set forth that con-
siderable increase in the home con-
sumption of the fruit will be brought
about.
One of the greatest problems to be
solved in the apple distribution is that
of the retail dealer who has formed
the habit of charging the same price
for apples each year without regard to
the crop and the quantity to be dis
tributed. If these dealers can be made
to reduce their retail prices in the
same proportion IN which the growers
have already reduced their wholesale
prices il will go far toward encour-
aging the public to buy larger quanti-
ties of fruit, thus preventing the mar
ket from becoming clogged. The deal
er would fare better in the end by
handling a larger amount of apples at
a small profit than by charging a high
price for a small quantity, with the
probability of having even large part
OF these left on their hands.
Distribution is Problem.
The difficulties of distribution pre-
sent the greatest drawback at present
20 the apple growers trade. If the ap-
pies could be placed within the reach
OF the consumers at reasonable prices
all danger of an apple panic would
speedily subside. The department of
agriculture through it's markets is en-
deavcring to bring this about The
careful grading and selecting of apples
is one recommended measure. Pack
Jag them in convenient standard pack
ages is another. When the growers
can arrange to ship small packages
Of apples directly to consumers con-
siderable expense is avoided. The
parcel post is one of the means which
will aid in accomplishing this pur-
rose. Inferior grades can be sold to
hucksters, who Will peddle them from
the wagon. They can also be utilized
for canning, evaporating, cider max
ing, stock feeding and other purposes
The final effect of the European war
Will undoubtedly bring about n greater
home consumption of apples. The gov
eminent estimate of this years crop
is 21O,000,000 bushels. which is about
two bushels per capita. Only about 40
per cent is recognized as a CONNER
cial crop. so that the real supply per
capita will be less than a bushel, the
balance of the crop being chiefly util-
lied for by-products. 1t is. therefore.
easy to see how our entire crop could
be utilized at home.

MOVING PICTURE PLAYS.
The Man Who Perfected Them and
What the Future Promises


G. Francis Jenkins of Washington,
who was awarded the Elliott Cresson
gold medal in 1895 for the successful
method OF projecting potion pictures
On a large canvas, has been given new
honors for his work in the movie
line. The Franklin institute of phiil-
delphia has now awarded him the John
Scott medal for his recent achieve
ments in moving pictures.
Here is a man unknown to the mil
lions for whom his original research
has made possible the thousands of

duced Much of his early experiment
tai apparatus has been acquired by the
National museum. Washington. and is
now shown in the graphic arts section.
Other scientific minds are bent to the
further perfection of the movies. and
recent declaration by technical
writer would lead us to look forward
to the day when the projected scene

they will appear to be real. Add to

SAVINGS BANK DEPOSITS.
How the Interest Even on Small Sums
SweIis the Accounts.

A savings bank in Evanston has adj
vertised that it will place 81 to the
credit of every baby born in that city,
and it advises the parents of the chill
dren to deposit on each birthday of
the child as many dollars as the young
Ster is years old. then to let the money
remain in the bank. drawing interest,
until the child reaches twentyone.
If parents did that the total sum de-
posted to the credit Of the child upon
it's twenty first birthday, including SD
for that birthday. would be $23l, or an
average of S11 year. But the bank
account on that twenty first birthday
would show a much larger sum-
S2S4.59. in fact. computed at the saw
ings bank rate Of interest. 3 per cent.
That is. the sum of $3.50 will have
been paid in interest. compounded.
The amount which would accrue at
simple interest would be $46.2O or
more than twice the amount deposited
on the twentytirst year, while the ac-
tual interest received would be two
and half times the last deposit.
Besides. the interest on interest-that
is, the excess produced by compound
ing-would amount to $3.50. or more
than one third of the final and largest
deposit. and would be about 60 per
cent of the average yearly deposit of
$11. Thus is we'll shown how money
breeds from itself. and there is little
doubt that parents able to make such
deposits would afford to their children
remarkable illustration of the value
of thrift and it's influence in life, be-
sides giving each youngster a substan-
tial sum with little hardship to the de-
positor. -Chicago Inter Ocean.

BLOWING HOT AND COLD.
A Machine That Makes Ice and Heat
at the Same Time,


A machine that makes heat at one
end and cold ut the other. so that it
can be used for heating house and
making ice at the same time-to blow
hot and cold. like the man in Aesop's
fables-has now been perfected and is
coming into practical use abroad. All
it needs to do it's work is power of
some kind. 1t will take electricity. for
instance. for it's power and turn the
electricity into heat and cold
1t is really refrigerating machine
that turns out heat as a byproduct.
Every icemaking machine makes a
great deal of heat. which is wasted
almost completely. In fact. the more
completely the heat is wasted from an
ordinary icemaking machine the more
ice it will make.
The new double action machine
takes out of the icemaking part every
bit of heat it possibly can. and then
this heat. in the form Of hot water, is
sent round the building as a hot water
heating system. Every part OF the
machine juggles the heat and the cold
round SO that they may be used to the
best advantage.
