FRUIT and FARM
Waste of the Apple Crop.


Portland Oregonian: 1t was a
famous Pacific coast manufacturer
of mustard condiments who said that
it was the mustard the people left
on the plate that had made him rich
It appears also that the waste OF
apples in the United States has a
distinct bearing on the market for
that fruit and the price paid by the
consumer. The forthcoming crop OF
apples is estimated at 67,67O,O0O
barrels, which is something more
than 200, 100000 bushels, or nearly
two bushels for every man, woman
and child in the country. How many
millions Of our people never get even
an apple can not be estimated but
the number is large. This is due to
two factors-waste in the orchard
and faulty distribution. Millions OF
bushels-too many to calculate-rot
on the ground in sections where the
growers do not believe 1t profitable
70 market them. Other large guam
titles are lost by poor storage; still
more by shipping to markets that
already have been glutted, though
there may he other towns and cities
not far away that have insufficient
supplies.
One of the important elements in
waste is failure to produce fruit OF
quality worth picking and shipment
The Pacific northwest learned this
lesson measurable some years ago,
but there are growers even yet who
do not realize its importance. This
season has been particularly trying
because the high price Of various in
secticides and fungicides has in
duced parsimony in their applica-
tion. We can not afford to neglect
our fruit trees altogether just be-
cause there is a war in Europe. And
in some districts pests are getting
foothold that will be making trouble
long after the war is over. 1t must
be kept in mind that we ourselves
are responsible in high degree for
a public taste that demands excel
lent fruit or will buy none. The Gull
apple is practically a total waste
Even the space II occupies on the
trees is devoted to the production of
worse than nothing. But the grow
er who picks his fruit at all must
pick the poor fruit with the good
and then repect it in the sorting. 1t
all takes time, and time is money
these DAYS. The difference between
a clean orchard and a half-kept one
is the difference between profit and
loss.

famine in communities not far apart
with which any student of the situa+
tion is familiar, we are accomplish
ing something, although not enough,
in the direction of correcting the
evil by organized marketing and
good advertising. Doubtless this
will work out in good time. But 1t
must not be forgotten that the Or
chards we now have should either
be cared for or uprooted. The pres
ent time is appropriate for the au'
tumn cleaning up, for horticultural
prophylaxis, for laying the founda
tion for next years crop. After the
present crop has been harvested and
until the unfavorable weather OF
winter sets in, the motto of every
orchardist should be, Let us
spray"

ExPECTRECORD ATTENDANCE
When G. =. r. Hold Annual Event In
Marion, June 1915.

Marion, O.-Fcf years veterans et
the civil war have wondered wn~-ner
they would ne hvfng when the Colder
Jubilee encampment of the Grand
Army. Of the Republic occurrsd. The
event is now but a short ways off.
The G. A. R. encampment. which is to
be held here June IL, Is, IA and Is,
promises to surpass in attendance any
ever held. The Mansfield encampment,
which drew a crowd of $4,000 last
year, is expected to be outdone. The
executive committee expects to have
$4,000 members of the G. A. R. and
its auxiliary organizations on the last
day of the encampment 1t is expected
that there will be 5000 in Marion for
all the sessions.
New features have been added to
the program. On the evershg of
Tuesday, June 13, there w1n be a
civic preparedness parsde, partici
pated in by members Cz the National
Guard of nearby cities and villages.
In addition to Governor Willis and
United States Senator Harding, the
committee has secured Harry Daugh.
erty and Elias r. Monfort, national
commander of the G. A. R., to take
part in the program

Convicts To Make Tags.

Although Secretary of. State Charles
@. Hildebrant has given notice that
bids on next years automobile tags
will be received on June 10 from pri-
vate manufacturers, it is not likely
the tags again will be made by. them.
Instead, it is Indicated they will be
made by convicts in the Ohio Peniten-
tiary, as the Board of Administration
has planned to notify the secretary of
state that it is prepared to furnish the
tags for next year. The board believes
that notice is all that is necessary
to compel the secretary of state to Sc
cure the tags from the prison. This
plan has been under consideration by
the board for some time. Gov. Willis
has asked the members to take such
action. Secretary of State Hildebrant
is said not to be opposed to the peni-
tentiary furnishing the tags. State
Auditor Donahey held up the vouchers
of the New York Metal Ceiling Co.
for nearly $4,000 for tags at Is cents
pair. He said he is doing this as a
courtesy to the supreme court while
the validity of the principal contract
that with the Davies Manufacturing
Co., Akron, is under consideration by
the tribunal. The New York company
notified W. H. Walker, registrar OF
automobiles, that it would send no
more tags until it's vouchers are hon.
ored. This threatens another tag
famine.

PRESIDENT WILSON WILL
OFFER PEACE TO EUROPE
Urges Ending of War in Speech at
Washington - Would Forbid
World Wars.

Washington, May 30 President
Wilson, in an address on Saturday be-
fore the League to Enforce Peace, in
dicated in a guarded way that he is
seriously considering the offering of
his services as mediator in the Euro
pean war and outlined to some extent
the basis upon which he thinks the
warning nations should make their
agreement
His statement was taken by many
of those who heard him to mean that
Mr.. Wilson may in due time offer his
services as peacemaker on his own
initiative instead of waiting until he
has received formal request to do SO
from one or more of the belligerents,
point by which he has guided his at
titude regarding mediation in the past.
There were two sentences in the ad-
dress which were taken to indicate
the Presidents intention. They fol-
low r.
TIE desire of the whole world now
turns eagerly toward The hope of peace
and there is just reason why we
should take our part in e4e council
upon this great theme 1t is right that
|, as spokesman of our government,
should attempt to give expression to
what 1 believe to be the thought and
purpose of the people of the United
States in this vital matter.
Our own rights as a nation, the
privileges, and property of our, own
people have been profoundly affected.
We are not merely disconnected look
ers-on. The longer the war lasts the
more deeply do we become concerned
that it should be brought to an end
and the world permitted to resume its
normal life and course again.
Mr.. Wilson laid down a broad prin.
ciple of right upon which he would
seek to have the world guided -
He first stated that every people
has the right to choose the sovereignty
under which it shall live"
He asserted that the small states
have the right to enjoy the same re.
spect for their sovereignty and terri
torial integrity as the larger, and said
that the world has the right to be free
from every disturbance that has its
| origin in aggression.

Many Others.-WiIl All Be
Given Hearing,

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Columbus, O---All records were
beaten for early applications for par
don recommendations from the Board
of Pardons when there was filed a
plea for mercy on behalf of Edward
Mcnamara, of Cuyahoga county, who
was convicted in January, 1915, of
murder in the second degree and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for life.
Mcnamara was with the auto bandit
gang that killed Patrolman Bouker, in
Cleveland, III November, 1912, al
though it is now pleaded that he was
not implicated in the killing. It is
claimed in voluminous petitions filed
in his behalf that he was suffering
from ''the dread black malady" and
had been stupefed by liquor. The pc
.titions contain the names of four Com
mon Pleas Judges, former Police Chief
Fred Kohler, William Gordon, Repub-
lican Leader Maurice Maschke and
many other prominent men in busi-
ness and politics.

President Discusses Plans for Demo-
cratic Convention.


Washington, June 2.-Plans for the
Democratic convention at St. Louis
and the ensuing campaign we're dis
cussed on Wednesday by President
Wilson with Representative Doremus
Of Michigan. chairman of the Dem
ocratic congressional committee; Nor
man Hapgood, an organizer of the
Wilson Nonpartisan league, and Sen
ator Taggart of Indiana. Between now
and the convention time the president
is expected to devote much attention
to politics.
Selection of a permanent convention
chairman was discussed Speaker
Champ Clark was the first choice of
the president, but it now seems that
Mr.. Clark may not go to St. Louis.
Senator James of Kentucky and Sena-
tor Kern of Indiana are among those
suggested for the place in case the
speaker finally declines the honor.
While friends of Vice President Mar
shall believe there is no doubt that he
will be renominated, they are not urg-
ing the president to take a stand on
the question because there are other
candidates, notably Governor Major.
The plan Of the convention man.
ayers is to have Alabama give way to
New Jersey when the roll is called for
the nomination of presidential candi-
dates so that John W. Wescott, who
has been selected by President Will
son to nominate him, may make his
speech Immediately. A motion to
close nominations then would be in
order

MAN THROWS KNIFE AT
R00sEVELT'S AUTOMOBILE
Former President Escapes Injury at
Kansas City-Great Crowd Greets
the Candidate.

Kansas City, Mo-, June IAN open
pocket knife was thrown apparently at
Col. Theodore Roosevelt here on Tues
day as his motor car turned into Twen-
ty-third street ir the Memorial day pa
rade. The knife struck the rear of the
automobile and was found later in the
street. Colonel Roosevelt was not told
of the occurrence and the police had
no report on the matter. No arrests
are expected.
A mar who tried to force his way
into the colonel's suite at the Muehl-
bach hotel was placed under arrest
Kansas City gave Colonel Roosevelt
a real western reception. Before noon
he had delivered two short addresses
One to a group of children who greet
ed him in the lobby of his hotel and
the other from the hotel balcony to
hundreds grouped in the streets. In
both talks the colonel continued to
preach of preparedness and to warn
his listeners to be ready to protect the
country by arms, if necessary.
A great crowd greeted the former
president in the Union station plaza.
One hundred automobiles we're in line
in the parade to Colonel Roosevelt s
hotel.
Universal training based upon uni
versal service was urged upon the
youth of the nation by Roosevelt in a
memorial day address delivered as "a
message to all Americans" before
Civil war veterans of the North and
| the Confederacy.
Colonel Roosevelt said his address
was directed with equal emphasis ito
the soul qualities of the men who fol
| lowed Grant and of the men who fol
lowed Lee" but that he made no ap
peal ito the memory of the copper
head paciists who put peace above
duty"
The colonel urged the nation to 'tbe
ware of the false prophets" s"-profes
sional paeiists who, he declared, dc
not serve high ideals.

CARRANZA AGAIN
ASKS u. s. TO ACT
New Note Demands Withdrawal
of American Troops.
EXPLANATION IS REQUESTED
Washington Government Declared to
Be Pursuing Hostile Policy While
AVoWing Sincere Friendship
for Mexico.

washington, June demands that
the United States withdraw it's troops
and intimations that the American
government is not acting in good
faith are contained in a 12,000-word
note from General Carranza, deliv-
cred to the state department on
Wednesday by Eliseo Arredondo, Mex
Ican ambassador designate
An explanation of the actions of
the Wilson administration is re-
quested.
Added to this is a well-defined sus-
picion in the mind of Carranza and
his advisers that the American gov
eminent, while making protestations
of good will and friendliness, is pre-
pairing for any emergency in Mexico,
and to prove this contention Carranza
cites the practical embargo on arms
and ammunition, he having received
no shipments for weeks. 1t also is
declared that machinery which was
ordered weeks ago for Carranza ar
senals is held up by order of Wash
ington.
The note reviews at length all ne
gotiations between the two nations
since the raid on Columbus The
promise of the United States that no
more troops would be sent into Mex
leo but those under Pershing is re-
called, and in the next paragraph is
detailed the trip of the second puni-
tive expedition under Colonel Sibley.
This is hinted as an evidence Of bad
faith on the part of the United States.
The Mexicans declare that all troops
on Mexican soil today are there in vio-
lat1on of treaties and agreements, and
the request is made that they be with
| drawn Immediately; that both govern
| ments maintain a patrol on their own
| sides of the lines; that no more Amer
| ican troops be taken into Mexico, and
that those now in that country aban-
| don the works they have erected since
Pershing went across the line
THE Mexican government there.
| fore invites the United States to bring
to an end this unsupportable situa-
ton" the note concludes. and to sup
port its protestations and declarations
OF friendship by an immediate with
| drawal of American troops"
State department officials regard the
note not as an ultimatum, but as a
continuance of the negotiations with
the Carranza government

Both Sides DispIeased.

Appeal has been made to the su-
preme court for a review of the de-
cision of the Hamilton county court Of
appeals, in which it was held that the
election last November, which result
ed in the authorization Of $1,250,000
park bonds, was valid. The appellate
court also decided that the bonds camO
within the 21a per cent limitation, and
hence that only $25O,0OO might be is
sued. Both sides are dissatisfied with
the decision, and join in asking a writ
of certiorari. The mayor and auditor
of Cincinnati are represented by As
sitant City Solicitor Saul Zielonka, and
the city of Cincinnati by City Solicitor
Charles A. Groom. The losing side
in the appellate court is attacking the
ruling that 26 days advertisement was
sufficient when the statute required 80
days. It was the contention of the
court below that notice had been given
by editorial and news column comment
of the newspapers.
