PREDICT BIG CHERRY CROP
Expert Estimates Door County Will
Ship 1875 Carloads of Fruit
This Year.

Sturgeon Bay - Fruit growers pre-
dict a shipment of 125 carloads of
cherries from Door county this year.
This number is about twenty-five
cars more than was shipped in 1915.
While a greater acreage of trees is
bearing this year than in 1915, the
crop will be lighter. This statement
bears out the prediction made by d.
E. Bingham in January to the effect
that the 1916 cherry crop would be
a lighter one. This condition, accord
ing to Mr.. Bingham, will be due to the
fact that during last August and Sep
TENDER there was so much cloudy
weather. He stated that those were
the two months when cherry trees put
on their growth and cloudy weather
causes lack of nourishment. The
nuorishment OF a plant depends upon
evaporation and evaporation depends
upon sunshine.
W. d. Cowherd, one of the newly
employed sales managers of the Door
County Fruit Growers union, predicts
that cherries will sell below $3.50 a
crate this year. possibly much lower,
but not any higher.

Modern physics explains a comets
tail as a swiftly moving stream of
atom fragments carried away from the
nucleus by the similar emanations
from the sun. Thus the tail always
points away from the sun and the or
oital motion of the nucleus causes the
tail to curve like a stream of water
from a moving nozzle.

or another of the belligerents In the
European war, and slack in their
American citizenship, caused little
storm in committee. Many Democratic
politicians it is said. are afraid OF this
stand by the chief executive and op-
posed Incorporation of the plank In
the platform. Senator William j..
Stone, chairman of the committee was
in constant touch by long-distance
phone with the president while the
platform was being put together. Mr..
Wilson won his point.
The platform contains about 20
planks and 1000 words. 1t indorses
Wilson's policies, praises the federal
reserve banking system. says monopoly
has been strangled, agrees that equal
suffrage is right, speaks of the income
tax. claims protection for labor, points
with pride to postal extension and
profits. lauds the Underwood tariff act
and suggests nonpartisan tariff study.
Life Above Property Value.
1t calls for development of our sea-
shipping business, promises adequate
national preparedness. declares we
must work for world peace, asserts
there must be freedom of the seas,
places the value of human life above
property value-this last to those who
demand we should fight as quickly for
detained American mails as for Ameri-
can lives destroyed by belligerents.
That American Plank.
Here is the Americanism plank:
The part that the United States will
| play in the new day Of international re-
| lationships which now is upon us will
depend upon our preparation and our
character The Democratic party rec
! ognizes the assertion and triumphant
demonstration of the indivisibility and
| coherent strength of the nation,
| therefore, as the supreme issue of this
day in which the whole world faces the
crisis of manifold change. 1t summons
| all men. of whatever origin or creed,
| who would count themselves Americans
| to join in making clear to all the world
the unity and consequent power of
| America.
This is an issue of patriotism. To
| faint 1t with partisanship would be to
defile it. In this day of test America
| must show itself, not a nation of par
| tisans, but nation of patriots. There
| is gathered here in America the best
blood. the industry and the genius of
the whole world. the elements of a
great race and a magnificent society TO
be melted into mighty and splendid
| nation.

and as destructive of its welfare, the
activities and designs of every group
or organization, political or otherwise
that has for it's object the advance
ment of the interest of a foreign
power. whether such object is promot
ed by intimidating the government, 8
political party, or representatives OF

tends to divide our people into antag

complete agreement and solidarity OF
the people and that unity of sentiment
and national purpose so essential to
the perpetuity of the nation and Its
free institutions.
Condemn All Alliances.
We condemn all alliances and com.

who agree and conspire together for
the purpose of embarrassing or weak
ening our government or of improperly
influencing or cOercing our public rep

with any foreign power. We charge
that such conspiracies among a lin.
tied number exist and have been insti
gated for the purpose of advancing the
interests of foreign countries to the
prejudice and detriment Of our own
country.
We condemn any political party
which. in view of the activity Of such
conspirators, surrenders its integrity
or modifies its policy.
And here is the suffrage plank:
We recommend the extension of the
franchise to the women Of the country
by the states upon the same terms as
