ILLINOIS SUFFRAG|STS
LAUD EQUAL PAY ORDER
Women in Public Institutions Put
on Same Basis as Man
Employees.

CHICAGO. August 10.-Equal suffra-
gists were juhilant today. according to
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, president of
the Illinois Equal Suffrage Association,
over the action of the state board of
administration. which yesterday decreed
that women employed in state institu-
lions shall receive the same pay as men
where they do the same work.
Mrs. Trout issued a statement in which
she said that the new recognition of the
equality of women is an answer to those
who express doubt of the value of the
franchise to women.
Illinois women can vote, and students
OF political economy know that no class
of persons in history deprived of a voice
in the government have ever received fair
treatment by the government" said Mrs.
Trout

ut protects the men, for where the wom-
en- receive the same compensation as men
the temptation to replace the men with
equally capable women at lower rat
of pay is removed.
THE state is to be congra tulated on
this act of fairness"
The new regulations provide that the
same minimum scale of wages shall
apply to men and women employed in
state institutions; that all employees
shall have one day of rest in seven: al,
automatic promotional wage scale. and
that changes from night to day service
shall be made weekly instead Of month
1y, as has been the practice.
President Kern's Statement.
President Kern of the state board
said: There is no reason why a nurse
in a state institution should not re-
ceive the same wages as man attend
ants in the same class of work. 1t
should have been recognized long ago.
We believe that we are establishing the
right standard this time and that it
will tend to increase efficiency in all
institutions"

Before evening it was seen that a
serious menace threatened the city.
Prof. Smithson of the Smithsonian
Institute, who was hastily called to
New York, was unable to identify the
weed, which had now spread through
out the whole of Manhattan. On
Tuesday morning men hacked their
way to work through miniature jun
giles.
By Tuesday afternoon all work had
to be abandoned. The street cars
were held up by the weed. Girls,
screaming as the weed barred their
exit from factories and business Of
fees, had to be rescued by firemen
with hatchets. The seed dust filled
the air and everyone was i'll with hay
fever.
The plant could not be classified &C
cording to any known genus. Prof.
Long of the Boston Observatory adj
van6ed the theory that it had come
from one of the planets in a shower
of meteoric dust. The dry spell
did not affect it's growth at all
1t did not require soil in which to
flourish, 1t was an epiphyte-that is
to say, like Spanish moss and the
pineapple plant, it nourished itself
on air.
On Wednesday morning singular
phenomenon occurred which dis
quoted the entire nation. Hitherto
the plant had simply appeared to be
a species of rank, quickly seeding
grass. Now it began to put forth
flowers. And it's huge trumpets, five
feet in diameter and lined with a
sticky emulation, stiff as cardboard
and incredibly prolific, not only
caught mice, rats and birds, but sent
forth tendrils, which, as if animated
by come diabolical intelligence,
caught at the arms and legs of those

HAVE CONTESTS
National Apple Show Plans Aid
For Modern Marketing
Methods.

AS vital element in the marketing
of the northwestern boxed apple, the
shippers contest to be held at the
eighth National Apple show in Spo-
kane November Is to 20 promises to

vertising displays of the brands of
extra fancy apples which they are

Each entry will contain 100 boxes
of one variety of apples. In fixing

tive arrangement of the fruit, espe-
cially on the use of trademarks and
brands. This is done for the purpose
of encouraging shippers to make the
most effective use of their brand
names, labels, etc., which the apple
show management figures is a vital
feature of any campaign to make a
favorable presentation to the consum-
err. Out of total of 100 points in the
score, this feature will count for 25
points.
Other elements included in the
scoring of this class will be the fol-
lowing: Color, Is; uniformity, 10;
condition, Is; pack, 80.

first place in this competition will be

SEEK STANDARD
FOR FRUIT PACK
Growers Will Learn Method at
National Apple Show in
Spokane.

For the service department of the
eighth National Apple show, which
will be held at Spokane November 10
to 20, big demonstration has been
arranged in an effort to secure uni
form standard of grade and pack In
all northwestern fruit districts.
"The future of the box apple bust
ness must be based on a uniform
standard of grade and pack applying
to all districts" states w. p. Romans,
superintendent of exhibits. THE
greatest difficulty has been experience
ed this year in reaching that uniform
ity because printed words never mean
exactly the same thing to different
men. The only way that an absolute
uniformity can be secured is by dem
onstration and comparison with the
fruit itself That way will be pro-
vided by the apple show.
1.-THE leading shippers and packers
in each district are preparing displays
that will illustrate perfectly the range
of fruit that they understand should
be permitted within the limits of each
grade and pack. These displays will
be placed in immediate proximity to
each other at the National Apple show
in order that comparisons may be
made with the fruit. Especially Is
this important because of the practi-
cal demonstrations that it will give to
the growers themselves. At certain
hours each day the displays will be
discussed in detail and the growers
questions answered.
Agencies VIII Help.
Give of the leading fruit packing
and grading agencies have already
agreed to enter these demonstrations,
illustrating the methods in use in
four districts.
"The purpose of each entry will be
to make a complete and thorough dem
onstration of the methods of grading
and packing in use in handling the
standard winter varieties of apples by
each shipper or district, including
grading by color, size and blemishes.
"The purpose Of each exhibit will
not be to see how perfect package
can be put up but to make selection
that will be of value in showing the
fruit in such a way that the grower
can see with his own eyes what apples
he is justified in including in each
grade and exactly how he can best
make each pack.

WILL POPULARIZE
APPLE DAINTIES
Thousands of Women Will
Show How TO Make Pies
and DumpIings.

The success of the apple industry
which is the real purpose for which
Spokane each year holds the National
Apple show-depends on the extent
to which the people use apples in their
daily diet. Realizing that the interest
of the housewife is the most important
factor in determining to what extent
the apple shall find favor in the daily
menus of the family, the seventh Ma
tional Apple show undertook to in
crease the active interest of the wo-
men of the Pacific northwest by in
augurating q women's department
The results were immediate and ex-
tensive. There is a much wider in
terest in the apple industry on the
part of women and the inquiries al
ready received from housewives indi-
cate that the homemade apple by
products exhibit and the cookery con-
tests will have all the entries that
the eighth National Apple show at
Spokane the week of November 10
will be able TO take care of.
1.-THE women's department of the
coming show will be more extensive
and more interesting because of the
experience gained in this work at the
last show" said e. A. II. Stevenson,
who will again be superintendent of
this department ample prizes will
be offered for each class and in addi-
ton the apple show is offering 500 in
gold in a grand national jelly competi-
ton. This jelly competition is re-
suit of the numerous entries last year
in the various classes. For the first
time we are offering cash prizes for
ample iellies in a group.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1915-10-29

During the period of the National
Apple show the expert accompanying
each demonstration will spend stat
ed thirty minutes each day at his
exhibit, answering questions and ex-
planning to the growers the reasons
for each feature Of grade and pack.
These periods of explanation will DO
arranged on regular schedule in
such a way that the talks and ex-
plantations will follow each other at
regular intervals to permit the in
terested growers to see and ask ques-
lions about each in turn"

"The apple pie contests are in three
classes. The first one is for house
wives only and there are prizes for
apple pies made from fresh apples,
apple pies made from canned apples
and apple pies made from dried ap-
pies. This class attracted hundreds
of entries last year and was the most
popular of all the contests. The sec
