is not to be outdone by Sonoma coun-
ty nor any other county Of any other
state in the Union. The state of
Washington had an apple day on
which they distributed apple pies by
the thousands, and recently Sonoma
county, the home of the Gravenstein
apple, had day at the exposition dur
ing which they set forth the beauty
of the leading fruit of that county
amid much eloquence and jollity.
Luther Burbank, none greater in eve
ry element of practical greatness has
visited or will visit the exposition,
was the center of attraction by the
large crowd that filed the Court of
Abundance and crowned the queen,
and afterwards thousands of apples
were given away to the appreciative
crowd. The Gravestein dates back to
1912 when the Russians landed in
Sonoma county and set out some ap-
pie trees there. Some of these trees
are still living and bearing fruit.

Acrostic on Good Roads

Homer D. Wade, chairman of
the Good Roads Committee OF
the National Farmers Union, has
written the following acrostic
on TGood Roads"
Our time is too valuable to waste
in travelling over bad roads,
Until we have good roads we
will not have better markets.
The cost of good roads is less
than the tax on bad ones.
Out of the mud hole and onto
the pike should be your slogan
Fortune lives on an improved
highway; misfortune on poor
one.
The growth of any community
is dependent upon good roads.
Happiness. contentment and
prosperity don't 60 with good
roads,
Even heather countries realize
the value of good highways.
Mud holes are civilizations
greatest parasites. Abolish
them.
Unto another generation the ben
efts of good roads will extend
Do deeds that will live after you.
Boost and build good roads.
