APPLES

During the State fair one of the exhibits that attracted much attention in the ag- ricultural hal, was the wonderful show ing of Alabama apples. This fruit was shown to grow in its finest form, red and large and luscious. in Alabama, and is equally as fine as the fruit of the north western states.
 The apple is such honey sort of fruit one seldom thinks of it as having any very romantic history or of being of very great age, and yet the apple is older than history itself. It's origin Is shrouded in mystery, but story after story in Greek mythology centers around it.
 The birthplace of the apple is Asia Minor, the birthplace of the Caucasian race, and as the white man moved west ward around the world he carried with him the apple tree.
 The apple was one of the first fruit trees planted in America. Boston had apple or cards in 1892 The Mormons brought ap ples into Utah, and American soldiers planted apple trees in the Philippines, where apples are now a plentiful crop.

material, too. has made it necessary to handle the players more carefully than usual because any number of in juries may be disastrous.
 It Is time now when the team will have to be driven because it will take stronger attack than Auburn has as vet shown to score in the coming games. A good line can be had on the development of the team as shown in the Mississippi A. and M. game. The Aggies have practically the same stout aggregation that they had Iast year Their offense Is never brilliant but their defense is always formidable. They kept some of the best teams in the south from scoring last season and they have yet to be scored upon this year. The game will give the Auburn team very good idea of just where
