latter place they were returned to
Mr.. Thompson by parcel post. At
each Of the shows they won blue rib

These apples were grown by the
Cavern Orchard Company, w. w.
DoWncy and Chas E. THOMPSON,
owners, on a tree about twenty
years old, one in an orchard which
Mr.. Thompson states, had been neg
lected until recently, yet, these spec
lmens are as perfect as it seems pos
sible to prOduce-Of large size, true
to type in shape and of a dark, rich
velvety, red, and Of delicious flavor.
They are in good state of preser-
walton after their handling.
Mr. Thompson refused $3.50 for
the 80 apples, at 25 cents apiece,
from party who wanted to send
them to England.
All this speaks volumes for Back
Creek Valley, which for generations
has been producing priZe-winning
apples for the Berkeley county reg

UP FOR DISCUSSION

nual meeting. elected officers and dis.
cussed many questions pertaining to
bhe society's work. President Alex
clohan presided, and in the absence
OF Secretary Nat r. Frame, c. w
Boyer was chosen secretary.
The first matter taken up was the
election Of officers and resulted a,
follows:
President-Alex Clohan.
. Vice president-D. Gold Miller
Secretary-C. W. Boyer.
Trensurer-C. w. Thatcher
Inc treasurers report since he was
elected, September I, 1910, shows he
has collected from the members and
apple carnivals $1,27155, and the dis
bursements have been $1,189.13 leav.
Ing balance in the treasury Of
$82.42.
H. l.. Smith urged that a member
ship campaign be inaugurated, as It
appears there are not more than ono.
half OF the fruit growers in the coun-
~ members. With all working for tho
good OF the society there would al
ways be on hand sufficient money to
defray the expenses OF representa-
ttves who are sent to Charleston and
Washington in the interest of leg
islation.
President Clohan said the society
had done more for the fruit growers
of the state and nation than any
other body known. He cited the re-
cent laws enacted by the state legis-
lature, and the law by congress re-
garding the standard apple barrel. In
tho latter instance every other 60
ciety in the country had failed to in
terest their representatives in the
Sulzer bill, but when the Berkeley
county men got behind it in a few
days the measure had passed both
houses and was signed by the Pres
ldent. z
Mr.. Smith again spoke of the socle-
ty and its reputation abroad. He said
during his travels over the state the
people frequently said If they had
such an organization. it would be no
trouble to grow fruit
The following report made public
by the society will prove very inter.
esting and give the people some idea
what the apple growers are doing:
No. acres in orchard in county 1900

No. OF peach trees ......... 148, G43

MARSHALL IS IN

CHICAGO. Sept. 15.-Vice Pres

tending a Masonic conference declar-
ed himself in favor Of peace Monday.

for peace on all sides" he said. Fur
thermore We should respect strict neu-
trality not only 10 keep US from be-
ing drawn into the war but because Of
the after effects in trade relations
with the other nations"
The vice president was a trifle shy
on the subject OF politics. "I don't
like TO talk about anything the people
are not interested in" he said. And
they are certainly not interested in
politics these days. The war is taking
up all their time"
He was urged TO give an expression
on the Illinois situation as the result
of the recent primaries
Il do not know Illinois politics." he
said. Il come from Indiana I'm
just a plain local self government
democrat. You've had your primaries
and you've got either what you want
or what you deserve"
Il do not know Mr.. Sullivan, nomi-
mated for the senate. I've heard a lot
Of things about him but do not know
that there is anything to prevent his
endorsement. / really do not know
the man we'll enough to qualify him
with an opinion. To tell the truth
I'm not SO much in favor of primaries.
My experience is that nomination by
convention places the responsi bility
on a party and the primaries do not
place it at all"
Mr.. Marshall was rather cynical on
the subject of women's suffrage.
They've had ii 80 years in Colo
RADIO" he said, "and look at Colorado"
The president is the only man to
represent the democratic party he
said. I'VE have not had time or op-
portunity to see the effect of his pol
icies on account of the war"

HOME PRODUCERS

Help Your. City by Buying
Goods Made in South Bend
Say Speakers at GroCerS'
and Butchers Meeting.

Cooperation and patronage of
South Bend industries was the key
note OF the meeting Of the Grocers'
and Butchers association held at the
South Bend Bread Co plant Monday.
which was also the occasion OF a ban
quet given by the company for more
than 100 bread dealers and their
wives. Following the banquet ad-
dresses were made by H. G.. Spauld-
ing, secretary of the Chamber OF
Commerce; Rollo G.. Page. Harry
Engman. jr.. and others, all urging
more commercial and social cOOpera-
ton among the dealers. An inSpec-
ton OF the plant Of the South Bend
Bread Co. was made by the grocers
and butchers and other guests Of the
concern.
Secy Spaulding talked on the sub
ject. Buying South Bend Made
Goods" and especially urged the
dealer To purchase as far as possible
only goods manufactured in this city.
Sell South Bend made stuff so
that more workers Will be employed,
who viii rent more houses buy more
bread and groceries. more furniture,
more clothes and other articles" de-
clared Mr.. Spaulding "One by one
the various articles made here Will
be exploited other things being
equal I want TO ask you right here
10 push the goods in your line and
ask for the goods Of the other fell
lows line as often as the opportunity
presents"
Mr.. Spaulding spoke Of the cam
paign being initiated by the Chamber
OF Commerce to boost South Bend
made goods. of the success of Milk
Maid bread may be taken as a cri-
teriOn OF the support given in this city
TO worthy product OF a South Bend
plant" he asserted I'VE would find
little do in this direction. A casual
investigation thus far made. proves
that such is not the case and that
with the full cooperation Of the re-
tailers and an aroused demand from
the consumers, the number Of en-
plOyes in many South Bend plants
can be increased to an appreciable
extent.
while the buying at home habit.
should always be encouraged, there
is more than ever reason TO do so to-
day with the restricted demand for
manufactured products in many lines
caused by the war. The grocer is
more intimately associated with his
customer than any other dealer and
he we'll knows that his prosperity de-
ponds upon his steadiness of the en-
plOyment and the consequent income
to the consumer. 1t is therefore to
the grocer that we must look to first,
to cooperate with US in this move
ment."
