T. 4 . \ +. y + II = 4 = K IT, = 3.
The finishing chapter was written
!, in colored triangular romance this
afternoon when Matte Hawkins and
Harry Clay. better known as Domin-
lex, were married by the justice of the
peace. Joe Scott. the third person IN
the triangle, lost out when Matte de-
lcided to accept Dominick.
| The romance, well under way, came
to head in the police court today and
was concluded in the Justice court.
To begin with, Matte had two colored
admirers in the persons Of Scott and
Dominick. And Of course they could
not all get along together.
At the instigation OF Scott, Matte
Hawkins fled an information in the
superior court this morning, asking
that Dominick be placed under bond
to keep the peace.
AS counter blow, Dominick turned
around and filed an information
against Matte Hawkins and Joe Scott,
charging them with lewdness. AS q
result, all three were in jail this aft
ernoon. It is said that both men have
been on intimate terms with the
woman at times and Chief Of Police
Kepney decided to end the affair be-
fore it got any worse and Matte was
told to pick one of the two for her
husband.
Matte was undecided for while
and could not make a selection be-
tween her two co1ored admirers. She
finally said that she loved them both,
but really loved Dominick the better
and that is the reason the wedding
came OF.

sage of our ship for 1t will go on q
mission of charity"
cit is big proposition and one
that will require skillful handling,
declares a member of the committee
appointed by the apples growers and
shippers. However, we are confident
that our plans can be carried out.
There are about 25,O00.000 men
actively engaged in the various armies
and navies In the European war. and
probably as many more Indirectly In
volved. To give them all an Ameri-
can apple apiece would mean at least
50,000,000, and taking 500 apples to
the barrel, which would be medium
size fruit we shall have to provide
100,0 barrels or 100000 boxes, at the
lowest estimate. At present the mini
mum market value OF this fruit is So
Eper barrel. 1 figure the whole under
taking would cost not less than $780,
900, but when we stop to figure that
every person in this country, no mat
ter what his nationality may be, could
easily lend hand in the undertaking.
1t is not such difficult proposition as
one might suppose"
Apple men hope to have the Euro
pean belligerents agree upon one
day armistice when the apples are
distributed, and 1t Is planned to get
everything in readiness for the vessel
to sail on National Apple day. Oct 49,.
so that the consignment may reach
the various fighting zones and hos
pitals the early part OF November
when Europe's scant fruit supply will
have been exhausted for this season.

Fifty million America ngrown ap-

plans now brewing among Americans
who are interested in the apple indus

Detailed information concerning
this unique method OF celebrating

are being discussed locally and If the
project carries through undoubtedly

This section of the country has had
one Of the largest apple crops In
years. In Illinois especially the
trees are loaded to the breaking point
with all varieties and because of their
plentifulness their market value Is so
little that in some cases it will prob.
ably not be worth the time spent to
pick them and bring them to town. A
large quantity of these apples might
be contributed to a worthy cause.
Soldiers Need Fruit.
It is proposed to have vessel take
over big cargo Of. apples to be dis
tributed free under the auspices OF
the Red Cross, and efforts will be
made to get President Wilson and Sec.
rotary Of State Lansing to have the
several warning governments permit
safe passage for portions of the Dig
consignment to the various fronts ana
hospitals where the fruit can be plac-
ed in the hands of the Red Cross for
distribution, especially among the
sick and wounded.
Apple growers and dealers who are
endeavoring 10 send over the big con
signment have learned that many OF
the fighting men are suffering because
Of lack of fruit juices, giving rise to
scurvy and other disorders Return
ing surgeons who have seen service
in the European hospitals are said to
approve heartily the plan to provide
more fruit juices not only among the
wounded but also for the men in the
trenches.

call upon all the People engaged in the
apple industry to contribute portion
Of the expense. At first the trade did
mot take kindly to the plan. as it was
feared that vessels could not be found
to carry over the apples. Then the
idea was conceived of chartering a
