we were called out to be told we had to
abandon our position.
A Belgian who escaped from Mons

Home Storage OF Apples.

The successful home storage OF
apples IN a changeable climate, such
Is that OF Missouri, becomes . serious
problem because OF the loss from rot
ting. There are certain factors, how.
ever, under the control Of the grower
which influence greatly the keeping
qualities Of apples.
Apples for winter use are usually
stored In an underground cellar or In
an outdoor pit. liza cellar Is used II
must be we'll ventilated, but kept
above freezing. In the fall II Is best
TO open the ventilators al night and
close them during the warmer days
Trap all water drains to prevent the
loss OF cold air II the outdoor pit
is used, heap up the apples on the
surface Of the ground on well
drained spot and cover with straw.
As cold weather approaches, put a
thin layer OF earth over the straw.
Later thicken the covering OF earth
50 a. to prevent freezing.
For best Keeping qualities, apples

ripe. However, II picked too green

RAW METHODS OF HARTMAN
FURNITURE co. SHOWN

FURNITURE co. SHOWN UP
People in frightened financial cir
cumstances have only the choice of
two evils as a means of eseape-the
loan shark or the instalment house.
Both take advantage of a person
who isn't able to fight back Both
operate in about the same manner.
The system by which the. install
ment house traps its victims is illus
trated in the experience of D. r. Mac
Donell, 1905 Leland avenue, and the
Hartman Furniture Company.
MacDonell, through the press of
circumstances, was driven to the
Hartman store in June, 1912. Mac
Donel is young man. He had just
been married and he took the install
ment means of furnishing his little
four-room fiat.
He selected some furniture 1t
came to. $3.50. MacDonen hesitated.
1t seemed such an enormous debt for
young man, just married, to incur.
There was the possibility of sickness,
of lack of employment, staring him
in TIE face.
But the shrewd clerk who was sell
ing him the furniture knew the in
stalment game. He assured Mac
Donen that the Hartman people were
very sympathetic in time Of trouble.
Don't you read our ad in the daily
papers?" the clerk asked MacDonel.
That's our boast, when sick or out
of work payments are suspended"
This treasured MacDonen and he
made the purchase. He paid $32 down
and agreed to pay SIS a month,
When the furniture arrived at Mac
Donell's fiat he found that it was not
the same that he had selected at the
store. 1t was a load of fixed over
stuff. Many of the pieces had been
scratched and then revarnished.
MacDonel refused to pay for the
link and insisted on the .fIIrnitTra he
