NINTH NATIONAL APPLE SHOW
King Pip in All His Glory to Appear
November 20 to 25, at Spokane,
Washington.

Fifty-two cents an apple for five
boxes of apples will be given to the
grower who is adjudged the winner of
a special contest to be held at the
Ninth National Apple Show in Spo-
kane, November 20 to 25
"This will be the most spectacular
contest in which apples have ever
engaged" states Allen Meisenheimer,
chairman of the apple show board Of
trustees. "Our purpose in having this
is to determine which district and
which grower can produce the best
five boxes of apples this year. The
winner will be given $3.50 in gold
and the National Apple show worlds
championship banner. The competi-
ton will be restricted to the follow
ing varieties: Arkansas Black, Deli
cious, Jonathan, MacIntoch Red, Spit
zenburg, Rome Beauty, Stayman
Winesap, Wagner, Winesap, Winter
Banana, White Winter Pearmain and
Yellow Newtown.
"The grade and pack demonstra-
tions, which we're a big feature at
last years show, again will be held
for the purpose of aiding to secure
standard grade and pack. The lead
ing shippers and associations in each
district are being invited to prepare
displays that will perfectly illustrate
the range Of fruit that they under
stand should be permitted within the
limits of each grade and pack. These
displays will be placed in immediate
proximity to each other at the Nation
al Apple show so that comparisons
may be made with the fruit. Espe-
cially is this important because of the
practical demonstration 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"

Emergency cases-No Merchant
men Will Be Sunk by Torpe-
does Without Warning.

Berlin.-In answer to the report
sent out by the British wireless that
the German submarine U53 "torpe-
doed in some cases and sank" ships,
a competent German authority says
the Overseas News agency, makes
the following statement:
"The commercial war near the
coast of the United States is being
carried on according to rules and
the German promise, which means
that a merchantmen can be stopped
and that after the vessel has been
searched and the crew and passen-
gers are in safety the vessel can be
sunk under certain conditions.
These conditions are, for instance,
when a hostile steamer, or a neutral
steamer carrying contraband OF war,
are involved, or when the military
situation makes it impossible to bring
a steamer which has been captured
into port as prize.
"In no case, however, can this be
construed to mean that merchant
man can be sunk by torpedo with
out previous warning.
According to further reports from
Washington the American authorities
are said to be afraid that complicat-
ed questions of neutrality may rise If
the German submarines operate so
near the American coast, and that
such submarine action is equivalent
to a blockade"
To this it is said that the German
sea forces are entitled to carry on a
cruiser warfare anywhere in the open
sea. Territorial waters of neutral
states are carefully respected. A
blockade, of course, is out OF the
question.
