women CONE
OUT FOR 7. R.
Resolved to Be Mon-CommittaI,
They Cheer Wildly for
Roosevelt.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Three
hundred Progressive women met at
the Hotel Manhattan and came out"
in body for Theodore Roosevelt.
And the funny thing is that they
went there fully resolved, so Miss
Alice Carpenter. chairman, declares,
that they would be non-commital
about the colonel.
In fact the meeting was advertised
and for more than an hour conducted
as one for industrial preparedness.
William l.. Saunders talked OF the
Importance of making the most OF the
country's resources, and public
health.
Later when Miss Carpenter hap
pened to mention Mr.. Roosevelt, re-
serve went to the four winds, and 800
women chanted at the tops of their
voices.
Teddy, Teddy, we're all ready.
Teddy. Teddy, we're for you"
The women were about to organ
lie a Roosevelt committee when
George w. Perkins brought in a
telegram signed by Miss Grace Wit
tum. who ran for alderman in Chi
cago on the Progressive ticket, and
by several other Chicago Progress
sives, urging the New York women
to defer organization until the move
ment could be made a national one.
Miss Carpenter appointed a COM
mittee with Mrs. Winston Churchill,
Miss Ruth Morgan, Mrs. v. G.
Simkhovitch, Mrs. Charles S. Bird
and other Progressive workers as
members, to cooperate with the
women Of other states.
The women were gathered from
almost every state in the union which
had a Progressive organization in
1912. One Of the chief addresses
was made by Miss Mary H. Ingham,
of Philadelphia, who reminded her
audience that military preparedness
must go hand In hand with social
and industrial preparedness, and with
economic social and political DEM
ocracy.
The women agreed to hold a con-
ference and gain the ideas of the Chi
cago women Progressives before law
ing further plans for campaign ac-
ton.
They were urged to attend the
national Progressive party conven-
ton In Chicago in June, and it was
suggested that before this a big
women's meeting to be held in Min
neapolis.
Those on the committee are Chair
man Alice Carpenter, Miss Mary H.
1ngham. Philadelphia; Mrs. Charles
F.. Bird, Massachusetts,; Mrs. Wins
ton Churchill. Connecticut; DR..
Katherine B. Davis New York; Mrs.
Francis Hyde, New Jersey: Miss
Ruth Morgan, New York, and Miss
Mary Simkhovitch. New York.

CONCERNGAUSED
BY APPLE
|. MARKET
figures Will Probably Cause
Dealers to Speed Up Move
ment of Fruit.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Tbe
condition OF the apple market is a
matter Of grave concern 10 both tho
growers and dealers all over the
county. The report of cold storage
holdings OF apples on April /. recent
" issued BY the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, gives some
ngures which probably will cause all
dealers interested In the crop to speed
up the movement Of this fruit in a
most vigorous way. This report
which was compiled in the Office of
markets and rural organization shows
the4on the flrakof the prnsent month
mere vera approximGkely fortxrfour
per CENT more appies in cold storage
than at the same date one year ago,
and the season OF 1914-15 was one
OF Unusually heavy production. Fig
ures from 427 storages indicate that
nearly thfrty-three per cent of the
apples which were placed in
Cold Storage
by December ]. 1915, wer still there
on Aphil 1 waiting to be consumed.
Hope that this will be a backward
spring Is general among apple deal
ers. for as long as cold days con-
tinued a free movement OF the fruit
was more certain. However, let the
warm weather come and stay and
judging by experiences Of the past.
apple sales are very likely to decrease
rapidly.
Doubtless there are several rea-
sons for the present condition. Tho
fact that the last seasons CONNER
cial crop was considerably smaller
than that of year ago led to ex-
pectation on the part OF growers and
dealers alike, last fall, that the pros
pective market would be much more
stronger than has actually proved the
case. As result much stock changed
which marketing conditions since
show were warranted. This caused
higher opening prices than in 1914
and naturally slowed up the move
ment. Neither growers nor dealers
who held the fruit seemed inclined to
push sales with the vigor that was
displayed the previous year. when
they had an enormous crop to mar
ket. and the result was that large
quantities Of apples were put into
cold storage with the hope that the
winter and spring markets would
sufficiently to allow q
margin OF profit. In spite of the fact
that last falls commercial crop was
estimated around ten million barrels
short of the previous one, the amount
placed in cold storage exceeded that
stored in 1914 by about 1876 per
cent.
A second explanation is found in
the fact that exports of apples from
the ports Of the United States alone

SAYS DOCTORS MUST
KEEP PUBLIC WELL

up to March 1. 1916, were 669, $3.50
barrels less than for similar period
last season. and April reports are ex-
pected to show much large differ
ence. Had the normal export traffic
in apples prevailed, the amount of
stock on hand in this country would
be considerably smaller.
In n recent brief survey Of apple
prices in several large markets the
following facts were evidenced: Pres
ent wholesale prices on barreled
stock are very reasonable. In fact,
in many places wholesale dealers are
selling below cost when storage
charges are considered. Investiga-
tions made on the same day in New
York, Chicago. Boston. Philadelphia.
Pittsburg and Buffalo showed that
No. l cold storage Baldwins and
Greetings were ranging from $3.50
to $500 per barrel, while Ben Davis
were bringing from S1.75 to $3.50 in
every market. Last fall
buyers in New York state paid the
growers on an average Of $500 for
No. / Baldwins and Greening, and
$2.25 for Ben Davis, Z. o. b shipping
point. Adding to these prices q fair
average seasonal
Storage Charge
of from twenty-five to fifty cents q
barrel for freight and handling, one
can readily see that the dealers ap-
parently are not profiting at present
on many OF their apple sales.
The inquiry into retail prices on
apples, which was made at the same
time covering the same grades and
varieties. indicates that while they
are not unduly high except in very
few instances. still they do not seem
to have decreased proportionately
with wholesale quotations.
Since the wholesale apple dealers
are in daily touch, us rule with the
retailers to whom they sell, they ap-
pear to be the logical factors to ini-
tate an apple campaign and stimulate
the interest OF the grocers, fruit stand
dealers. hucksters and other retail
agencies. The wholesalers in two
large markets have organized already
and raised fund to secure desirable
publicity. If the dealers in othcr
markets would follow their example
and carry out an adequate advertis-
ing campaign in the press and In all
stores handling apples, the results
should be very helpful to all con-
cerned, grower, dealer and consumer.

I HOLLAND. Mich, April 22.-J.
F. Davis, farmer and veteran Of the
Civil war, cashed his pension check,
placed $50 in his wallet and showed
the wallet into his pocket with sat

AS he walked toward his home
near the Gibson crossing in Allegan
county he made mental notes Of
how he was going to spend that sum.
Presently he met a band Of fifty
gypsles. One OF the women stopped
him.

FOREST NOTES

1t is estimated that automobiles car
ried to the Grand Canyon national
monument last year 10000 persons,
while the number Of persons to reach
the canyon by railroad was $4,000, or
five times as many as in 1914.
New Mexico official reports show
that 360.325 cattle and 1,219,762 sheep
were shipped out of that state in
1915. Most Of this stock was grazed
on public lands. especially the national
forests. On the forest ranges the
forage crop is as much an object Of
care as the timber crop, and is in
creasing as a result Of scientific
methods.

Vols Apparently Slowing Up-Clubs Playing Same Brand of Ball as Marked Early Season Series.
 Crackers Hit Stride

The three weeks jaunt around the southern frying pan of the baseball circuit just finished by the northern teams in the Southern association has established little that might point to the strength of one section over the oth- CT, beyond giving New Orleans in the advantage of long home stay nearly Hotpoint margin on the leadership. The Pelicans started on their first long road trip of the season Thursday with a record of 13 victories and two defeats as a result of games played with Little Rock, Nashville, Chatta- nooga and Memphis at Heinemann park since May T.
 Circuit critics who watched and com mented on the performances which followed the northern invasion agreed that save for faint spurt by the Chat tanooga Lookouts, Nashville's apparent slowing up, and a disastrous series of defeats for the Memphis Chickasaws which ended in the retirement of Man ager Stark, clubs of the league played about the same brand of game which marked the earlier season.
 The Volunteers won eight and lost six on the trip, coming back north with percentage of .571 for the IA games played, while Chattanooga won eight and lost seven, showing .533 for the 15, a better average than the Look outs have attained all season. Memphis won only four out of 15 starts on the road, returning Thursday to drop the first two home games with Manager Moriarity in the lineup.
 The Little Rock Travellers complet- ing the northern quartet were hardly up to the standard assigned them by experts. winning five and losing nine Little Rock fell victim of the Pelicans for four straights. Atlanta, enjoying considerable of a home stay, played in what is beginning to be regarded as the Crackers ha- bitual form-.500 per cent ball-win- ming seven and losing seven. The Mo- bile Gulls on home grounds finished the sweep of the northern teams with the same percentage getting a trifle better record than the Gulls exper- fenced earlier.
 Birmingham, also at home, fell un- der the Barons' reputed playing ,abil- ity, winning only six out of 15.
