York; T. D. Turner e Co, of Okla

City, Iowa; r. Mathin of Texas; Mr..
Tinklepaugh Of New York, and j
Ennis of -oittsburg. There is an APP
pie crop failure in the eastern states
this year, hence the presence of these
rash buyers.
w. r. Branch & Son Of Buffalo, n.
r., are among the heaviest of these
buyers. They expect to buy at least
$50 or 800 cars Of apples. They are
paying $40 to s25 ton for apples In

What the Red Cross Does

AS soon as the horrible Halifax

Cross got into action. A train con
tanning fifteen doctors and sixty
nurses was Immediately despatched
from Boston to the stricken city to-
gether with several carloads of cloth
ing and hospital supplies. Another
train load was started from Port
land, third from Providence and q
fourth from New York. Occasions
such as this give us the real picture
of the Red Cross, In ordinary times
its services are not needed. For
that reason many fail to realize the
existence of this great relief organi.
zation When suffering or death
come in the wake OF disaster how
ever, the quiet Red Cross is galyaniz
ed into life

phase of Red Cross activity. To full

abroad because better prices could
be obtained. We we're forced to
close our refineries for lack of sup
