Apple Crop is the
Largest Country
Ever Produced

WASHINGTON. Dec. Sl.-Thls years
apple crop was the largest ever pro-
duced in the United States. Estimates
announced today by the Department of
Agriculture placed the 1914 yield at 259-
100000 bushels, or 1l4O0O0Oo more than
was produced last year.
These figures represent the actual 'ag-
ricultural yield" the department ex-
planned. and should not be confused with
those of commercial crop. which com
prises the marketed portion OF the total
production. In 1913 the commercial crop
was estimated at 40 per cent of the agri-
cultural production. Using the same pro-
portion for the 1914 basis. this years COM
meroial crop would total 1Os.6Oo.OOo BUSH

The states leading in production of ap-
pies this year were: New York. 9,GOo, 900
bushels; Pennsylvania, 23,1OO0O0; Afichi-
gan, 17,9oOOOO; Virginia, 15,3Oo.OOO; Ken

mates the business of the National Stock
yards OF East st. Louis exercising "en-
tire control and that It is impossible

change to transact commission business
at the yards.

MIR, Henry in his petition charges that
the St Louis Live Stock exchange con-
trolls all the business in the territory
tributary to the National Stock yards

do business at the yards must be menu
bers of the exchange.
Mr.. Henry also charged that he once
had a lucrative business at the stock
yards, but that he was black listed by

benevolent society, has informed the
public on more than one occasion
that the Hardy sanitarium had offer.
ed a free ward in the new addition
if they would accept it; provided,
however, that they raise a fund to
pay for the very nominal charges
made for medical attendance and
nurses for those who might he con-
fined there. This has been lying
dormant for sbme time, arr with
the exception of what the Elks and
knights of Pythias have promised,
very few other subscriptions have
been received
Now that the addition to the hos
pital is nearly completed, the So
ciety is very anxious that this fund
be made available, in order that the
work will not be handicapped, should
they be called upon to care for a
patient.
Mrs. Kahn has been requested to
present her request to the Knights
of Pythias in writing, in order that
they make it a matter of record, and
their donation would be forthcoming.
Several business men of the city
have stated that they will donate
certain amount monthly for this cause
but as they have never been ap-
preached with a subscription paper,
this, too, is in statu quo.
The benevolent society will. at its
next regular meeting, prepare sub
scription lists and the business men
and others in the city will be visited
and asked to donate something to-
ward this worthy cause.

In the matter of tail-lights, | realize
that it is a difficult matter for a
driver to watch this, as the jar of
the machine often extinguishes it.
but We will use judgment in enforcing
this portion of the law, and when we
are convinced that a driver wilfuly
neglects to light the rear lamp he
will have to pay for it."
He stated that children and women
are going to be warned to be more
careful in the future in plotting cars
about the city. He cited one instance
where a woman was driving through
the crowded streets the other day.
