DESCRIBES HOW
FRUIT IS SHIPPED

New York, Oct. Pillow California
had increased its fruit shipments
from 1000 carloads in 1885 to $4,000
carloads now was described by G.
Harold Powell, general manager of
the California Fruit Growers exchange
in an address before the Quoin club
at Delmonico's a few days ago..
The value of the orange and lemon
crop shipped through the California
Fruit Growers exchange every year
exceeds the value of all the mineral
products Of the state" declared Mr..
Powell, lin fact, the total valuation
of this fruit is $27, 900, 900"
There is $200,000,v00 invested in
CALIFORNIA; citrus industry, Thirteen
to fifteen thousand families are liv-
ing on land worth $1,000 an acre, and
100000 persons are directly and in.
directly supported by the industry.

fruit grower was one of distribution
he continued. with our big market,
New York $500 miles away, we had
to do some very careful planning to
get our oranges into the far away
markets quickly and in good condi-
ton. The individual grower found
that he could not meet the situation
effectively and the California Fruit
Growers exchange finally was found

ling. The exchange is entirely a non

work Of marketing California orang-
es and lemons at cost so that all
money received in excess of this cost
goes back to the grower himself"
According. to the speaker, IS per.
cent of the growers of oranges, lem
ons and grape fruit in California are
members Of the exchange. About 80
percent Of the product is sold at auc-
ton in the big markets of the East.
where does your money go when
you buy 81 worth of oranges" Mr..
Powell asked his hearers. Answer.
ing the question himself, he said,
'about one-third of the dollar goes to
cover the cost of getting the fruit to
the consumer. The wholesalers cost
is SO per cent, the exchange cost Is

There were four seals on the car

Papers found on his body were res

mistake SAVES
LIFE Of WOMAN
Young Man Goes to House to
Kill Her and Chokes An
other Instead

White Earth, N. d., Oct. 21.-An
| assault, by mistake, on the person Of
Mrs. Alice Moore, living alone on
Hill street in this village, probably
saved the life of Mrs. Major Buck,
who was formerly a resident in that
property.
between 10 and II O'clock in the
evening a young man, who has been
making White Earth his stamping
ground for some time, is suspected Of
having forced open the side door and,
on entering, grabbed the old lady by
the throat and would probably have
clicked her into insensibility, had he
not noticed his mistake in time. Be-
fore leaving. he explained to her that
he was looking for another party.
In the ~scuffle, the brute loosened
one of her teeth besides leaving deep
scratches on her cheeks, where he
had sunk his finger nails.
The deed was not discovered until
late when Mrs. Moore was finally able
to go to a neighbours for assistance,
to whcin she conaided the story of the
outrage. This gave tle fiend a chance
to make his getaway, probably going
to Williston.

swindled by supposed appliances fcr

of money; one asked for the mcdest

a disaster hitherto reserved to the
wrath OF the elements. Neither can 1t
reach by radiating wave the destrlc-
tive engines of the air.
THE false notion OF those who pre-
tend to transmit destructive power
through space arises from the fact
that wireless t%elegraphy is accom-
plished through the production of a
minuscle spark at the receiving sta
ton. That spark being sufficient to
produce an effect upon extremely SEN
sitive instruments at great distance,
they concluded that at q limited dis
lance, of a mile for instance, a much
stronger spark could be produced; as
that spark is supposed to go through
all sorts of obstacles, they inferred
that it could also pierce the steel
shell of engines Of War
'In the first place no available pow
er could produce a spark Of sufficient
intensity; there isn't the slightest
caloric power in the wireless spark at
the receiving end. In the second
place it would be necessary for it to
strike with absolute precision a point
or fissure in the plates in order to get

Different accidents enormously at

this false track. 1t was discussed
whether the Volturro was not fired at

Louisiana Aroused.

The sugar growers of Louisiana, al
we learn from the New Orleans Item
of recent date, have perfected a com.
pact organization having for its OBJ.
ject the repeal or suspension of that
section of the Underwood Tariff law
which places sugar on the free list
beginning May 1. 1915. United
States Senator Broussard is in hear
ty accord with this movement. He
is quoted as saying that his private
advices from Washington indicate
the calling of an extra session in Sep
TENDER or October of this year for
the purpose of dealing with the SUI
gar tariff question. 1t is earnestly
to be hoped that Senator Broussard' s
expectations may be realized. The
which will be lost when the tariff On
sugar disappears. The cane sugar
growers of Louisiana, facing bank
ruptcy and ruin as the result of free
sugar. need badly the restoration of
the tariff. So do the sugar beet
growers of the Northern States need
protection against the flood of beet
sugar that will pour into this coun-
try when the European war shall
have ended and beet sugar produc-
ton shall be resumed on normal
scale.
The consolidated organization in
Louisiana embraces the Louisiana
Cane and Sugar Association, the Su-
gar Planters Association. and the
American Cane Growers Association.
The united body retains the name of
the American Cane Growers .Asso-
citation. At its head. as president, is

six to seven months. This should
be a great help both to teachers and
school pupils. There is one condi-
ton which we believe should be cor
rected by the next Legislature af-
fecting our common schools. Our
schools begin too early. IL may be
best for the teacher to begin a school
the first of July. but is it best for the
boys on the farms who must help
with the crop? Years ago the schools
began October 1, or some times not
until November 1. Then the teach
er generally. il a man, also had to
finish his crop, as we'll as the boy.
Then the schools closed about April
list, in time for planting on the farm.
Now. they close before Christmas,
and are so far advanced by the time
many boys are released from the to-
bacco crop and corn gathering. that
they do not consider it worth while
to start in far behind their classes.
Besides the hot months of July and
August should not be used for school
work. 1t is an absolute punishment
to children to be cooped up in doors
at a time which all civilization rec
ognizes as vacation time. When old
and young have an irresistible de-
sire for the out door life and when
good health demands it. Why should
the country school house be vacant
during the winter days of jan
uary, February and March, when the
mind responds more readily than in
the long. hot. drowsy days of July
and August? At time when the
boys can very rarely find anything
to do on the farm. Start the
schools not sooner than September,
and give the boys a chance.
