CBy CHARLES r. HIGGsa
A good deal of money has been
made in fruit growing. A good deal
has been lost, too. The losses have
been mainly by the men who have
been in too great a hurry to garner
the profits they have heard success
full growers were making.
These get-rich-quick fellows have
blindly and eagerly bought raw land,
incumbered with stumps and niger
head powders. Forgetting. or posi-
bly, not knowing. that good cultivation
is necessary In crowded orchard
crowded by interplanting peaches be-
tween apples--they have set their
trees without stopping to clear off the
stumps and powders. The results
have been disastrous for them.
Some have tried to correct their
initial mistake by buying stump-pull-
ers to dispose Of the stumps, but lack
OF space to operate the machines has
made this plan ineffective.
Falling in this. some OF the more
energetic men have tried to cultivate
by hand, digging around the trees.
Practical fruit growers will appreci
ate what an endless, impractical task
this is in large orchard.
Many trees in these hurry-up or.
chards have died, and the apples that
have been grown on trees that man,
aged to survive have been stunted
knotty and OF generally such poor
quality that they can be marketed
only to vinegar makers. Some OF
these growers have become discour.

EUROPE Is GETTING READY

All of Europe is now getting
ready for the impending fierce
and worldwide industrial war
that will be begun as soon as the
seas are free for commerce, and
one and all they have their eyes
fixed upon the American market,
the greatest of all markets, with
its doors invitingly opened by the
Underwood Tariff. They will fail
upon American industries like de-
vouring wolves.
The close of the European war
will be a disastrous blight upon
this great industrial State unless
our Government is prepared to
meet it by erecting a bulwarA

statewide interest. Last year the
University triumphed for the first
time in four years and the chances
look good for her to repeat this year,
but Greasy" Neale and John Kelli-
son at Wesleyan, assisted by such able
players as Calac, the famous Indian,
Beck, Morrison and all their stars
are looked TO to have something up
their sleeves for Rodgers, Hite and
other noted players who wear the Old
Gold and Blue, and the game is at
tracing much wider notice than ever
before. Three thousand tickets were
sold for the game in the first week Of
the advance sale, but arrangements
are being made to accommodate an ev-
en- larger crowd than last year. Many
local people will witness the contest.
Some have already secured their tick
cts by mail, having made application
to H. A. Stansbury at Buckhannon
who handles the mail orders. The
advance sale at the reduced price of
S1.25 per ticket will close Nov. 18th,
after which time all tickets will be
$1.50 each. Any local fans who ex-
pect to see the game who have not
applied for tickets should do so at
once.

NEW YORK, Nov. %. Ernpe-
ror Francis Joseph died last nigh t
at 9 O clock at Schoenbrunn Castle
according to a Reuter- despatch
from Vienna, by way of Amster-
dam.
The first intimation received
here that Emperor Francis JOS
eph's health was again the SUBJ
jectof solicitation was contained
in a despatch dated Nov. IL. en-
anating from a Vienna news
agency, which reported that the
Emperor had been suffering for
some days from a slight catarrhal
al lection.
Zachary Taylor was President,
OF the United States when the
young Prince, thennineteen years
old, assembled the throne of Aust
ria, vacated through the abdica-
tion oe his uncle, Ferdinand |.
Tha+ WIS on Dec. 2, 1843. His
death ends IN active reign of
81 ty-ei At years, The nearest
ap proach to this was that of
Queen Victoria, whose reign ex-
tended over a period of sixty
four years. There is a tradition
that Pharoh ruled for ninety-nine
years. The Emperor was eighty
six years old, having been born
on Aug. Is, 1880.
The deathof the Emperor Fran
els Joseph removes a monarch
whose reign except for that of
one other-was the longest of
any since the legendary reign
of Pharoh. And into it had been
crowded so much of tragedy as
to make the House of Hapsburg
synonymous with cala...,ity and
woe.
