During most Of this shipping sea

''until the tariff was reduced upon
meat imported to this country, It was
impossible to send apples direct from
New York to South America because
Of lack Of refrigerated space. The fruit
was shipped 70 Liverpool and there was
transshipped to South America. The
orders came through the coffee houses.
Now that meat is sent North from
Argentina and Brazil, space has been
provided in vessels which can be used
for apples on the trip southwark.
The most hopeful sign to be found
in the marketing situation, is the
movement among the shipping organi-
zations to systematically increase the
demand for box-spples in the country
and small city districts of the United
States
Clearing House Needed.
AN unfortunate situation is found
however, in the Sgreat cities like New
York, Boston and Philadelphia. These
are great clearing house markets for
all the fruits from the Pacific Coast
except the apple. There Is just as
much need for great auction center
for apples in such cities, as there is
for the cotton exchange or wheat pit.
London, Liverpool, Hamburg and other
European cities have long recognized

"The attempt Of the large jobbers to

Auction system strikes snag.

The auction houses Of the United
States believe that they have struck
snag in the course that they have
been pursuing as far as concerns the
channel through which box apples
pass Although their brother institu,
tions across the water in England are
permitted to sell practically all of the
apples shipped there, the large jobbing
houses who now monopolize the mar.
keting Of box apples, it is charged,
are averse to using the auctions, be.
cause it win free the grower Of the
necessity Of using the wholesale stores
of the large jobbers. The auction
houses believe that the large jobbers
would find il to their advantage to
use the American auctions for apples
as they now do the English auctions,
If il were not for the peculiar hold
that they now Nave on the channel Of
distribution. The big jobber uses the
fruits, because they no longer have
control Of these lines of business and
.an get better prices there at less ex.
penss to themselves than they can by
selling in carload quantities through
heir own stores.
Although there has been consider.
able friction between the large job
bing firms and the auction houses
the jobbers continue to buy Florida
oranges at f. o. b. prices and sell them
at auction and to handle the fruit:
other than the apples that they re.
ceive from the Pacific Coast through
the auctions. 1t is very apparent thai
the hold that the auction houses hav,
upon their present lines Of business II
based upon economical reasons and
not upon fayoritism.

DANGERS or DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot and
perspiring, just when they are most
dangerous, and the result Is neural

and In a short time the stiffness and

Millions sold on Credit.

Because OF the credit system that the
auction houses have developed, they
are able To sell safely millions Of dol
lars worth OF fruit on credit to the
fruit trade Of the different cities
The buyers at the daily auctions, who
can not be trusted are made to pay
cash. Only about three and half
millions dollars worth Of fruit was
bought from the New York auctions by
socalled cash buyers last year, while
fifteen or more millions were sold on
ten, fifteen or thirty days credit.
The auction houses have great blot
tiers on which appears the name Of
every buyer. ON these they keep
track Of the amount Of fruit each has
bought and not paid for AS soon
rs the limit Of mans credit has
been reached, they. notify the delivery
clerks not To send ont more purchases
until payments have been made. Many
of the smaller jobbing houses establish
credit by depositing money with
ths auction companies.
Pay Grower Cash.
Although the fruit auction houses
wait for their money and run the risks
OF not being able TO collect, the ship.
per receives his money within "a hours
after the fruit is sold. The shipper q
agent has no excuse for not forward
ing the check covering the full pur-
chase price at once, unless there is a
dispute with the railroad concerning
freight charges.
For opening samples, furnishing dis
play and sales rooms, selling and ad.
vancing the purchase price, the auction
houses along the Atlantic seaboard
make charges varying from one and Q
half to two aud q half per cent. THIS
interior auctions which are run ON q
little different basis and which do
not have the large volume of business
make slightly higher charges.
The reason for the low rates is that
the auction houses have gotten their
present business by being able to sell
for the jobbeFs, shippers and specu-
lators at less cost and at higher prices
than they can sell privately. The auc
tion houses, until the past year, hav'
not advertised the merits Of their sys
tenn.

Edward Brown in New York, first be

From what we gather, one of the
greatest troubles with our farming
methods is the fact that the average
farmer undertakes to cultivate too
much land. If the effort should be
made to improve one-half while max
ing cotton on the other half of the
land now cultivated, there would soon
be far better condition prevailing.
The other day we saw field of cot
ton containing II acres that will yield
this year bale to the acre. The land
is the Allen lands, located in Jones'
vile township and cultivated by ]. l..
Mckinney. There is no doubt of the
fact that this field will yield that
much even this unfavorable year. This
land, six years ago, would not pro-
duce half bale to the acre under the
most favorable seasons. The methods
OF farming put into practice by Mr..
Mckinney is responsible for the i'm
proved production.

GERM INFANTILE PARALYSIS
FOUND AT JOHN HOPKINS

Baltimore, Oct. 1.-THE mystery
surrounding the cause of the spread
of lnfantile paralysis has been solved,
according to an official announcement
made Monday at Johns Hopkins hos
pital.
Extensive research conducted by
Or. Horace T. Burrows, pathologist of
the hospital, has resulted in the dis
covery of the infantile paralysis germ,
the existence of which was established
nine years ago by DR.. Simon Flexner.
of the Rockefeller institute.
According to DR.. Burrows, the dis
ease is not spread by contagion, but
the germ is introduced into the hu-
man system through the mouth in
milk or water.
Always in every case of the dis
ease. germ has been found in the
big intestine showing that the disease
is spread by some raw food. That
that food is milk or water is estab-
lished by the fact that babies, whose
only diet has been milk or water, died
of the disease.
DIR. Burrows and his assistants. un-
DER the direction of Prof. VIM. II.
Welch, have been making autopsies
upo nevery victim of the disease since
full microscopic search.
OF the diseased organs it has been
found that the germ occurs onlv in
the colon. The investigations prove
that 100 per cent are infected in the
pig intestine. Since it is only possi-
BILE for the germ to enter the big in
testine by way of the mouth, food
and drink must be the carriers.
This discovery demonstrates for the
flrst time clearly that raw food con-
tains the germ of infantile paralysis.
The investigators are so certain
that this is true and that there is no
other way for the disease to be con-
tracted that they suggest that the
quarantine be raised against personal
contact and that all raw foods. such
as milk, waters, fruits, ETC., be steril-
lied. boiled or cooked before being
given to children or others.
The Investigators found that bouse
flies and other insects undoubtedIv
help to spread the germ from one
food to another.
This discovery is the first one that
has been given out officially bv Johns
Hopkins hospital before it has been
published in a recognized medical
journal.
This rule is broken for the first
time in order to clear up the mystery
surrounding the disease as quickly as
possible and in order to allow the
schools to open and business to 20 on
as usual
The find was not made by accident.
but as result of painstakine re,
search.
The spread Of the disease is an
much like that of typhoid fever and
it's methods of communication that
the investigators are sure thew have
hit upon a way to make an anti-polio-
myelitis vaccine like the anti-tvphoid
vaccine that stamped out typ. old in
the United States army.

Every progressive citizen of Union
county should feel a deep interest in
the county fair. These occasions are
of great value in many ways. The
people are brought together and good
fellowship is promoted, ideas are ex-
changed and great stimulus is given
to farming, stock raising, poultry
raising and, in fact, many other equal
ly valuable endeavors. Let everybody
pull for the fair; and let everybody
make it point to attend at least one
day. The impetus given to school i'm
provement in the county by the day
given to the schools, is worth all the
fair costs. Come, everybody, to the
