NEAR COMPLETION.

Covington township will soon have
its new high school completed. the
building now being practically enclosed.
It will be four-room building, 80 x 52

large enough for the needs of that
farming community for some time to
come. The school is located on the
south side of the South Shore track.

Our County Fair.

Our County Fair has conclusively
shown that Baraga county can compete
with the best of them when it comes
to producing products Of the soil. Be-
sides the big beets, potatoes, tomatoes,
turnips and cabbage. and other articles,
which are going to be heard of in the
front line of the prize winners at the
Copper Country Fair this week, there
were few things of more than pass
ing mention.
There was an exceptionally fine dis
play of fruit all around, but what
attracted our special attention were
the Bartlett pears coming from various
orchards at Skanee, those of Carl
Hartvigh and Geo. Glover being es-
pecially fine. We have always known
that Skanee leads Baraga county in
the fruit line, taken altogether, but
the pears were surprise and revela-
tion to US. Another fine surprise was
the exhibit Of Concord grapes by
George Theobald of Baraga. Many
and many were the fine compliments
paid to this luscious fruit. We can
say for the exhibit that the grapes
compare with the best shipped in here
by outsiders for marketing, and as for
the wagers that the grapes were not
grown in this county, we wish to state
to the doubters that if they care to
settle their controversy, they can see
the vines as well as the grapes in Mr..
Theobald's yard at Baraga.

Baraga Defeats L'Anse.

Barsga won out over the L'Anse
city baseball team at L'Anse last
Saturday by score of IA to IL. The
game was nip and tuck all the way
through, with chances for each side to
sew up the game.
Baraga won out in the eighth inning,
when the first attained the lead. The
sports committee gave the team orders
that the game was to 60 seven innings
only, in order to give the other two
teams chance to play. But there
was kick registered by the Baraga
boys and SO the game was played
through.

THE HILLES CALL
Required Republicans Pass on
Work Of Natl Committee.

After all. tho work Of the Rspub-
1tcan state committee in turning down
q state convention. may have been In
vain and Kansas Republicans may
find 1t necessary to hold q state wide
convention and either meet or dodge
the platform issue. Under the call Of
Charles D. Htlles, chairman Of the
Republican national committee, every
state Is called upon to hold a state
convention and ratify the work Of the
national committee.
Charles F. Scott Of lola had the
Hilles plan In view when he demand
ed q preprimary convention. Yet he
the reasons for holding q convention
to write q tentative platform. He
merely argued that q tentative plat
form was the courageous. sane ana
sensible manner of meeting the issue
before tho party in Kansas. The state
committee. II Of the los counties repre-
scented by chairmen and proxies-voted
down the Scott plan. Then 1t adopted
resolutions which assumed to set forth
the things which Kansas Republicans
advocate.
Now tho convention idea is revived
by tho Hilles call for conventions and
reports to the national Organization
before January /. OF course Kansas
Republicans can delay the holding of
q state convention until after the Au-
gust QIl1naIlcSs -6ut 10 10 SO WILL In
the minds Of many leaders, make the
party subject to criticism and perhaps
compel the Republicans Of the state
to bear the charge Of lodging the is
sues.
1T IL absolutely necessary to hold
a convention this year." said one Re-
publican header today. 80 why delay
the matter until after the primaries.
II state convention was not absolute
ly necessary this year, perhaps the Re-
pub1icans of the state could logically
stand on their action In refusing to
call a convention and declare that the
state committee and not the voters
were entitled to write the tentative
platform. Now 1t seems, the state
committee must either call a conven-
ton before the primaries and proceed
to write q platform, or wait until at
ter the primaries and bear the charge
Of lodging. And this isn't a good
year to dodge
The state convention il made nee
essary to ratify the work Of the Re-

Apple Industry Has Taken on
New Lease Of Life.
MODERN METHODS ARE USED
Small Army of Pests Are Being
Eradicated.
Topeka Is an Important Apple
Distributing Center.

The apple growing industry in Kan
sas has taken on new life.
There. was a period in the history of
the apple business in the state when
the orchard was considered a side
issue and good yields were the order
of things In favorable seasons. There
was little cost connected with main
tanning an orchard. But with the
came pests which spread from one
farm to another. Then 1t was that
the farmer began to consider his or
chard an incumbrance. Conditions
have changed, and now those who
have adopted scientific methods of
caring for their trees find that their
orchards are great money producers.
However. there is still many an ap-
pie grower in Kansas who has not
caught the spirit of progressiveness.
have become practically worthless
through age and neglect. But strictly
commercial orchards are becoming
more numerous, and the experts"
predict that within a few years the
apple orchards Of Kansas will bring
in returns undreamed of in the. past.
Possibilities Are Great.
H. NJ. Cottrell, agricultural commits
sioner for the Rock Island. is of the
opinion that the possibilities in the
apple industry in Kansas are great. He
says that If proper spraying and prun-
ing methods were generally IN vogue
here as is the case in Colorado and
elsewhere this state would have a
nationwide reputation as an apple
producing territory. -.
The Kansas apples have a flavor all
their own. Some of the imported ap-
pies with attractive color tints Sell
readily, but do not compare with the
best varieties of apples grown In this
state as far as flavor is concerned.
There are more than five million APP
pie trees in Kansas that have reached
the bearing stage. In 1912 the yield
for the state was 1897 ,7S9 bushels. On
account of their poor condition there
are many Kansas orchards that bring
little profit. but instances have been
recorded where the profit has been well
worth while. AS an example. w. HI.
Underwood of Reno county reported
having produced 2,160 bushels from a
single acre for which he received 81
037. Some Of the fruit growers right
here in Shawnee county have reported
handsome returns.
In Shawnee County.
In Shawnee county there are more
than one hundred and thirty thousand
apple trees, and some excellent apples
are produced here. A half dozen gas
oline sprays are owned by the apple
growers in the vicinity of Topeka, and
there are a number Of Shawnee county
men who have fallen in line with the
latest progressive ideas. There are
