1.-The market is already coming after
the apples and taking them away in
automobiles" said Mr.. Parks. THE
purchasers are business men of the
towns, farmers whose orchards have
passed away. and persons who believe
that they should raise a few more
bushels of grain and buy their fruit "
H. \. Dyer, of Abilene. sold 5000
bushels of apples to this kind of a
market and turned away many persons
who came after the suppl was ex-
hausted. Paul Lyttle, of Valencia,
sold nearly his entire crop of 5000
bushels in his orchard. Automobiles
came for fifty miles to get these APP
pies and were still coming in March

STRANGE EPIDEMIC COSTLY.
Malady Kills Young Pigs as Soon as
They Are Born.

Lawrence, Kan. May 4.-Some
strange disease, malady or epidemic
is taking the young pigs out of the
world now as fast as they arrive. The
trouble seems to be chiefly with the
gifts, the young sows that have THEFT
first pigs. In many cases the pigs are
still born. and in others they die soon
after birth. No one seems to know
what is the matter with them. Altho
in many cases more than half the pigs
are lost.
The weather has been excellent and
until the past week all pens and lots
were dry. The green feed is plentiful
and almost all the farmers have either
alfalfa or bluegrass upon which the
sows have been grazing. The sows are
in fine condition as rule, and yet
the pigs die by the dozens The
Harris ranch at Lawrence has los.
something like a hundred young pigs.
and several sows, and others have re-
ported similar losses.

MoorheQd NewS
PONTOON BRIDGE
BUILDING DONE
IN GREAT time;

Francis stalley, son of Fred
stalley, register of deeds OF Clay
county, in a letter to his father, tells
him that the record for laying pom
toon bridge has been lowered twice
recently by companies of engineers
in Texas. For many years the u. 8.
army record for laying a 290 foot, 8
inch pontoon bridge has been 80
minutes. The new record held only
the work Under war conditions,
starting with everything loaded; and
Is not completed until the planks OF
the bridge are all laid and the hand
rail is in place.
A short time ago the company OF
engineers OF which Francis StaIley
is a member made the first break Of
the record. This company clipped
LIZ minutes off the army record,
reducing. the time from 3S to 80 la
minutes. The new record only held
for three days when another COM
panyy OF engineers completed the
bridge ready for troops to cross in 81
minutes.
When the bridge laying is begun
all the material Is loaded on the
wagon train. The pontoons must be
taken from the wagons, inflated and
fioated into place. Then follow the
stringers; and the planks are laid
across forming the arilway. An
other crew follows with the material
for the hand rail that completes the
bridge.

FOUNDRY FIRE
BELIEVED WORK
OF INCENDIARY

Fire that started about 8 o'clock
Friday night caused damage to the
Moorhead fountry and contents that
win aggregate over $4,000. The cause
OF the fire Is unknown, but 1t is be-
lieyed to be of incendiary origin.
When the FIRE was discovered the
entire north end Of the building, oc-
cupied as a wood working shop, was
in flames. After over two hours
work the firemen had the fire ex-
tinguished, but the north end Of the
building is Quilted and much Of the
machinery is ruined.
The building is owned by August
@. Anderson, who formerly operated
the plant and is now located in Min
neapolis. 1t is estimated that the
damage to the building and station
airy machinery was $4,000, with
So, 000 insurance.
w. r. Foulks, lessee OF the plant
and owner of the stock and small
tools, said he. thought his Insurance
OF $1,000 would cover his loss. He
said none of the machinery had heen
in operation since noon yesterday
ana the electric power current had
been shut OF so there could have
been no short circuit. Mr.. Foulks
could not tell how the fire started
and the cause is a mystery to Chief
RemIy Of the fire department, Chief
Of Police Malvey, Superintendent of
Electric Light and Waterworxs War
ner and others who visited the ruins.

Early Gains in New York
Stock Exchange Are
Not Maintained

New York. Dec. 2s.--Gains OF the
last two days were added 70 in the
frst half hour Of today's active stock
market. Much OF the advantage was
lost at the end on extensive selling
for proft. Minor rails were ! to 2
points higher at their best and NUM-
lions and the motor group also de-
veioped marked strength. United
States steel moved fracttonally over
and under yestsrday's nnai price.
There were some decided gains in
special stocks such as Industrial Al
cohol and American Tobacco. The
closing was irregular. Sales approx
mated 100000 shares. Liberty as sold
at e7.14 to 96.ss and the AVS at $3.50
to 9s.42.
Early trading was somewhat cur
tailed by adverse weather conditions
which caused interruption with out
of-town points! Such interest as was
manifested again centered mainly
around low priced rails in which ad-
dItlonal gains OF to az points were
made. The Rock Island issues were
again the most active features. War
shares were firm with motors and
metals, but United Steel soon forfeit
