CANNING FACTORY RUNNING

The canning factory began opera
tons Thursday Of last week, and
Manager w. c. Banks says the plant
will run until after frost. The prin-
cipal pack will consist of tomatoes,
and apples, although peaches are be-
ing put up. One car of canned
apples was shipped Tuesday, and a
car Of peaches Wednesday. Apples
and peaches are packed in gallon cans,
and are sold mostly to hotels and res
taurants twill probably be news
to lots of people to know that only
Ben Davis apples are used for can
ming purposes. It has been demon
strated that this variety cooks much
better than other varieties A few
Blacktwigs or other varieties mixed
in a batch of Ben Davis will cause the
whole lot to spoil Fer this reason
the factory is only buying Ben Davis,
the price ranging from 80 cents to
S1.00 per hundred. The peach pack
consists almost entirely of Elbertas,
this variety finding much better
sale on the market than other varie-
ties canned. The factory is paying
$100 per bushel for peaches
The factory is giving employment
to nearly one hundred people, and a
car and half of the finished product
can be turned out each day. The
The wages of all employees is about
twenty per cent. higher thi year
than in previous years, and the price
of tin cans has also increased mate
rally over prices in former years.
The demand for canned goods prom
ises to be good, however, and the fac
tory is anticipating a successful sea-
son.
Il is planned to pack about $4,000
cases, or SO car loads, of apples

GERMAN CORRUPTION.

Link by link is forged the chain OF
evidence which shows there is no such
. thing as good faith or honor in the
German kaiser and those who sur
round him.
Week by week our government
makes revelations which startle the
entire world and prove to all right
thinking men everywhere that there
is no more sinister aggregation on the
globe
The latest culprit is former Ambas-
sador Won Bernstorff. Long before we
broke relations with Germany there
was a well defined suspicion that ali
the plotting, all the violations of our
laws by pro-German agents, were d.
rected and paid for by the suave Ger
man ambassador. Then men most In
timately associated with him-BOy-Ed
the naval attache; Won Papen, the NIL
itary attache; Wolf Won Igel, the plot
manager-were all caught in our eff
cient secret service web
But even then there were people in
this country who, when Bernstein
= spoke of his love for this country ana
his anxiety to prevent breach, be-
lieved him.
Evidence since goes to show there
was not an honest bone in his body,
nor sincere word in his mouth. He
. plotted for the kaiser. He probably
bribed for the kaiser And heretis the
proof: the state department has Off.

In order to. understand the signifi.

then. 1t was seen we were steadily
drifting into position where we
would be compelled to break off rela.

fare.
The German ambassador evidently
knew all the plans and to him was
entrusted the task of trying to keep
America out of the war.
Bernstorff knew the president could
break off diplomatic relations, but
could take no more drastic steps. He
shrewdly foresaw the great fight that
might arise in congress over armed
neutrality. He probably thought he
could beat the president both on this
and on the war declaration, provided
he played his cards properly before
he had to return to Germany.
The cablegram shows how he in
tended to do it.

WHAT WAR APPROPRIATIONS
.''+' ..-AA,

DOuDIlcSS lIlc Icducl, WHICH, Ho pASho
up his newspaper and sees that the
war department is asking for hundreds
of millions of dollars, wonders what
it is all about. He can understand
the cost of raising and equipping
armies, the cost of transporting them,
and the cost of giving them rifles, big
guns and ammunition. But he Is not
apt to think how. much more is neces-
sary, especially when an army is fight
ing on foreign soil 5000 miles away
from America.
Here is what some of these appro-
priations mean: In sending our armies
to France, we are trying to put just
as little burden upon the French peo-
pie as possible. This means that ev-
cry pound of food, every gun, every
she'll, every cartridge, will, if possible,
be sent "over there" from our Ameri-
can supply depots.
Somewhere in France at the port OF
entry designated for the American
army. this country will have to build
big piers to accommodate our ships.
It will have to erect tremendous ware.
houses in which the goods unloaded
from the ships will be stored.
From this port up to the part of the
trenches American troops are ultl'
mately to occupy, the United States
engineer regiments will build net.
work of railways to carry supplies and
men back and forth. We can't afford
to cripple the efficiency of the French
armies by using French railroads.
Those must be left clear for French
1t will be the same thing with anto-
mobile roads. We will build our OWE.
At various points we will fave sup
ply depots near the firing line. We
will have big base hospitals, There
will be vast machine shops in which
to repair railroad engines, artillery Of
all kinds, auto trucks Of every descrip-
ton, armored cars, hospital amDu-
lances, airplane motors.
An army OF men will be working
behind the lines, and they will have
to be housed. They will be the men
who will handle the supplies and who
will work in those immense repair
shops.
American industrial cities, created
solely for the duration Of the war, will
spring up at various points in France.
And the bigger part we play in finally
smashing the Germans, the vaster will
be the American railways, roads, shops
and warehouses.
These things are as vital to the war
as the men in khaki themselves With
out all these preparations behind the
lines, the army could not exist for
three weeks.
This big building program has al
ready been started. Regiments OF
American army engineers are busy be-
hind the lines at present.
