Warning is Given
By Fruit Auctions
ATTACKSTEINRARDT
To the Northwestern Apple Grower:


The. telegram published in the North
western papers purpOrting to have been
signed by Steinhardt & Kelly regarding
a sale of a car of Grimes Golden apples
at public auction in New York City
on Monday, September 25th, in which
they attack the auction system Of sell
ing and state that the fruit in this car
was slaughtered, is grossly false and
libelous.
We publish this statement so you will
know the truth, for unhappily such a
telegram deceives innocent growers. One
possible explanation of such a telegram
is that someone is inviting a suit for
libel. We give public warning that we
will accommodate them if after this
warning~the offense is repeated.
In our Judgment there is in the fruit
distributing industry too great ten
dency to make false and libelous state
ments with a view of influencing the
grower. We intend that this shall stop
when aimed at the Fruit Auction system.
The fruit referred to in the Stein
hardt e. Kelly's telegram was dead,
green and immature, and would never
have ripened. IL had no color character
istic of the variety and should not have
been shipped. More than half the car
had from 1913 to 200 apples in each box.
The car was sold on Monday, the best
sales day of the week. There we're
present at the auction sales of the day
fully two hundred and fifty buyers with
full representation Of all classes, and
buyers from the fancy fruit buyers to
the peddlers. The fruit was sold for the
full market value and not "slaught-
ered," as We are prepared to establish
overwhelmingly.
Mr.. Grower, remember, that Stein
hardt g. Kelly buy for a profit. They
believe that the adoption of the auc-
ito system Of selling by the Northwest
ern apple growers will interfere with
their business. We believe that the
auction system will result in giving to
the grower at least part of that profit.
You are interested in net returns to
you. False statements in the end in
jure you. We want the EuctioL system
judged on its merits, not on false state.
ments.
Do not use the auction system if you
are satisfied with your present system
of selling or if the auction system will
not serve you better than any other
present selling system. ns..
, On the Chicago auction market within
ten days Washington Grimes Golden
apples have sold up to 1926 per box for
extra fancy and $l96 for fancy and
Washington Jonathans have sold mp to
1920 per box for extra fancy and $172
per box for fancy. Give the auction
system "Square Deal.' o..

The Gold Dust Was There.

North America has counted as gold
producing continent only since the late
forties. But 1t might well have done
so for about 200 years. According to
the London Chronicle, in the voyage
round the world which began in 1719
the privateer Captain Shelvocke found
In certain California valleys "a rich
black mold which, as you turn it fresh
up to the sun, appears as If intermin-
gled with gold dust. Though we were
q little prejudiced," he adds, against
the thought that it could be possible
that this metal should be so promiscu-
ously and universally mingled with
common earth, yet we endeavored to

Saturday afternoon for the purpose of
arranging for seed for another year.

Late potatoes are proving a winner

those in close touch with the potato

$500 will be reached before the end

the grange ladies. In the afternoon
those who did not get a chance to
spiel in the morning will be given a
chance to get it off their chests. Miles
Poindexter will be the first speaker
on the program and this will insure a
large crowd. County candidates will
be there in full force and the meeting

one who wants to get in touch with
the various Office seekers and get a

their time to better advantage than in
attendance at this tallfest. .-.

FOR INFORMATION

Washington. Nov. L-Germany has

any information the imperial govern

steamers Marina and Rowanmore. The
request was forwarded. 1t became
known last night through the Ameri-
can embassy at Berlin.
It is understood the state department
took this step without waiting for full
reports from British sources and sur
vivors of the ships because 1t was con-
sidered desirable to assemble at the
earliest possible moment complete in
formation. particularly regarding the
Marina, on which several American
horse tenders apparently lost their
lives. The request Is informal and is
Intended In no sense as an intimation
that German submarines have violat-
ed international law or the pledges of
the German government OF the United
States.
