FINANCIAL CONDITIONS OF
RAILROADS

lnasmuch a. the Stockholders of the
railroads have been missing their ,livi-
leods, they have naturally been rather
persistent in ASKING the federal govern
ment whether il is fact that the nuner-
ous shake-ups administered by Uncle
sam are the reason. The Interstate Com
merce Commission has been spending
weeks in the attempt To determine wheth-
er the five per cent advance in rates asked
by the railroads should te granted Most
OF the 'progre-sives" Of the different DO
litical parties in Congress hold to the no
ton that the troubles Of the Railroads ale
all OF their own making. and they a-s..rt
that tire only reason that the railroads
are not paying is because Of the frenzie,i
manner OF their capitalization and finan-
cling. Senator Cummins has made big
speech going into the intricacie- Of the
question, while senator LaFollette has

WEALTH IN APPLES LIES
UNDEVELOPED IN OHIO

The West has long held the palm
for the production of handsome ap-
pies. People thought it was due TO
the climate and the soil. This has
been disproved. 1t was due more to
the men behind the spray nozzle and
the sorting table.
What the men of the Northwest can
do the men of Ohio can do as well.
In fact the general result will be bet
ter. The apples of the West and
Northwest lack the spice and vigor
of those grown in Ohio. With prop
er care Ohio apples look as well and
taste better than those of the far
western states. Good apples are
largely a matter of personality. Two
men took charge OF an old orchard
in Cuyahoga county last winter and
gave it a proper overhauling. 1t was
thoroughly and properly sprayed. It
had not borne crop in Is years.
This fall they gathered 10000 bu-
shells of apples. Many similar in
stances can be cited.
The quality of Ohio apples may be
seen and tested at the Great Ohio
Apple Show, to be held in Central
Armory, Cleveland, January 1928.
Every person who buys an admis-
sion ticket will be given an Ohio ap-
pie to eat. The show will be truly
great and the fruit will be truly fine

Another of Fulton county's old set
tiers was called to her reward last

whose maiden name was Rosanna
Fairfield, was born in Wayne county,
Ohio, November 5, 1928, and died
January s, 1914, aged IS years, 2
months and days. She came to Full
ton county with her parents at II
years of age and settled in Fulton
township. At the age of twenty she
was married to Mr.. Jacob Bowser and
settled with him on farm in Frank
lin township. After the death of
Mr.. Bowser in 1875, a grandson lived
with her on the farm till 1898, when
she made her home with her daugh-
ters in Wauseon. She was converted
to Christ at the age of nineteen years
and united with the u. B. church. She
lived a consistent christian life, it be-
ing an example to her family and all
who knew her. She was the mother
of five children, two sons and three
daughters, the sons and one daugh-
ter preceding her to the better world.
She leaves two daughters, four grand
children and one sister and many
friends to meet her in the home be-

Mr.. Oliver McLain has contributed
the following account of a surprise
perpetrated on him on Saturday, jan

"On the morning of January 10th,
Mrs. McLain seemed anxious to get
me from home so I went to town and
at noon we had some company; after
dinner they still urged me to go to
town and / did so. In the evening
all was quiet until about eight o'clock
some neighbors came in and later 9TH
ers came with filled baskets, thinking
of my 10th birthday which was the
next day, January I1th Those pres
ent were: Mr.. R. C. Skeels, Mr. and
Mrs. VIM. Butler, Mrs. J. H. Williams,
her daughter and son, Mrs 81. Lee,
Mrs. Bert Whipple and children, Mrs.
Clara Rock and son, Mrs. Spurgeon,
Mrs. Brinkman, Mrs. Evers, of Ken
dallville, Ind, Mrs. Chas. Evers, of
Pioneer, o., and Miss Ethel Hartman.
of Winameg. A fine lunch was served
at 10:30 and the evening was spent
in singing and listening to music from
the organ; at late hour the house
was called to order and Mrs. Rev.
Williams, in behalf of the Sunday
school, presented me with fine bible,
also many post cards which / enjoyed
very much and hope they will all come
again.

A VALUABLE SERIES
of Practical Interest to Farmers
Cooperative Farm Products Mark
eting-How 1t Is Done Elsewhere
and May Be Done in America.

The demand of the times is for a
marketing system that will dispense
with the numerous middle men of the
city through whose hands must go the
farm products before they reach the
consumer, and whose unnecessary
charges not only reduce the price re-
ceived by the producer but increase
price paid by the consumer.
In an effort to solve this important
problem the United States govern
ment sent commission to Europe
during the past summer for the pur-
pose of studying Cooperative Market
ing methods in those countries where
it had been in operation for a consid-
cradle period and where it had proved
ed of DIR. T. N. Carver, writer, rural
Rural J Organization in the Agricul-
tural Department at Washington;
Bradford Knapp, son of the eminent
southern agriculturist, DR.. 8. A.
Knapp, now deceased, who is in charge
of the rural demonstration work of
the department in the south, and DR..
Charles Mccarthy, whom Sir Horace
Plunkett has termed the "agricuitur-
al statesman of America, At the re-
quest of members Of the commission
Mr.. Mathew s. Dudgeon accompanied
it and assisted in the important in
vestigations which it made in Ireland,
Denmark, Germany and other Euro
pean countries.
What they found in Europe Mr..
Dudgeon has put into series of ar
ticles for American newspapers. He
not only has told what he and the
members of the commission saw in the
countries they visited, but, in the
form of interviews with members of
the commission, he has shown how
the methods in vogue in Europe may
be applied to this country.
In this way Mr.. Dudgeon has an
swered the thousand of inquiries re-
garding the formation of cooperative
marketing organizations.
This series of articles has been se-
cured for The Tribune and will be
printed on the inside pages of this
paper. There is no topic which is of
more vital Importance to the farmers
of the country at the present time
and these articles will afford our
readers an opportunity to become
thoroughly posted on the subject. In
some sections of the country farmers
have already organized for co-opera-
tive marketing and have profited
thereby. The time is not far distant
when the cooperative system will be-
come general and the sooner that
time arrives the better it will be for
the producers Of food products. The
policy of the Tribune is not to see
how cheaply we can issue the paper
but how valuable we can make it to
the subscribers and for this reason
we are glad to have secured this SER
les of articles which will begin in the
near future.
