Peach King LaFOllette
Grew 5000 Boxes, Only

When Alex LaFollette doesn't raise
a big crop of peaches, something is
wrong with the weather. At least that
is the general opinion in this part of
the valley. This year Mr.. LaFollette
says he raised only o~ne-fourth of a crop
and he hasn't quite figured it out how
it happened. There was no bugs or in
sects as Mr.. LaFollette had taken pre-
cautions against any such happenings
and the only way he can figure it out
at a guess is that during February
and March there was about 80 days
when there was no sunshine and pos
sibly the lack of sunshine had some eff
feet on the trees. Crawfords and the
Charlotte peach he says were failures,
although they bloomed and the peaches
were set. The fruit grew to about the
size of a hablenut and then failed to
develop. However, Senator LaFollette
says this year he sold 5000 boxes at an
average of rs cents a box while last
year he disposed of $4,000 boxes at 40
cents a box.

Orders Is Orders" and
the Package Got There

Orders are. orders to Kenneth Kav-
anaugh of the Meyers Department
store, due perhaps to the fact that he
served for a year under army discipline.
In the Meyers store, all packages are
placed in either the delivery bin, the
call bin or are marked for parcel post
or express. A few days ago a package
for Jefferson happened to find its way
into the delivery bin. Kavanaugh is
doing the delivering for the store and
when he found a package marked for
delivery for Jefferson, he just stuck
out for that suburb without asking any
questions. The lady at Jefferson was
quite surprised to have her small pack
age delivered by a special messenger
and remarked that she didn't know the
store delivered that distance out of
town. 81 didn't either" said young
Kavanaugh, ''but the package was in
the delivery bin, and here it is"

STORM ABATES

Weather ON Lake Yesterday
Declared Most Severe
in Years.

Duluth, Minn., Oct. 23-Following
last nights heavy storm on upper
Lake Superior, boats are moving to-
day. The local harbor was storm
bound all Of yesterday and last night,
but one vessel Drawing the rough lake.
"A number reached port ahead of the
wind. however. This forenoon long
lines OF steamers were loaded ready
to start down lakes. There is consid-
cred a chance of congestion Of traffic
unless the weather holds good for .
week.
Captain Mcclellan of the life saving
station reports the storm yesterday the
most severe in two years Crews arriv-
ing here today report heavy seas down
lake.
The October weather experienced
SO far this year is making a coal
shortage in the district dependent on
the Great Lakes more probable every
day. according to marine men. Up un-
til the hrst of the month a large
quantity Of coal was arriving daily
and it was thought a shortage would
be prevented, but this is the third
storm this month of sufficient vto-
lence to retard navigation when every
hour counts.

RABBITS BRING Sc
ON PARIS MARKET

Paris. Oct. 2s.-The hunting sea-
son, opened two days ago, the first
since 1913. has thus far been a great
to sportsmen. 1t was
supposed that with the accumulated
production of three years. all kinds
of game would be found in abund-
ance. In some sections of the country
special permits for the destruction Of
game had been given in order to pre-
serve the crops from destruction.
Where the hares. rabbits, pheasants
and partridges have gone is ques-
ton. The hunter finds them few.
One theory is that poaching, in the
absence of legitimate shooting, has
gone on more intensely than ever. 1t
Is Also pointed out that the desuuc-
tion Of game permitted last season
was greater than was intended. Game
preserves in France have had less
care than before the war, which is
also given as q reason for a meager
season.
The frst receipts at the central
markets of Paris sold at record pric-
es. Hares brought the equivalent Of

the actual military efficiency for the
army would be greatly increased If
proper surroundings outside the camps
were provided for the men in train

merely to entertain and amuse the
troops, but to make and keep them

the immediate offensive. For days
past the big French guns have been,

the Paris and Berlin reports indicat-
ing that some major movement was
fnpreparation. II
Good Progress Made.
Good progress was reported early
in the day by General Petain. the
French, forcing their way forward
along the whole front Of the attack.
The taking Of Fort De La Malmai
son would materially aid in the push
ing Of an attack on Lapn in an at
tempt to turn the German line in this
region, although it has been consid-
cred probable that the main blow
in such an attack would be struck
further to the east, where the back
door road offers superior tactical adj
vantages.
Virtually all the ground gained in
yesterdays offensive in Flanders has
been retained by the entente forces.
At only one point in the southern
part of Houtholst wood, were the
Germans able t ofegain any ground
in counter attacks and here 1t was
only single British post that was
pushed back a short distance The
ground won was consolidated along
the remainder of the front.

The tension Of the local coal situa-

anxiety and worry among dealers

relieved today when it became known
that arrangements have been made
for the immediate release of several

about by the action of Captain I. p.

administrator. who made the an

clared to be unwarranted and inhu-

aviators upon peaceful German towns.

''For every brick which falls from

The official French report of the
attempted German raid reads as fol-

First to Fail. 49,
THE first Zeppelin brought down
fell at St. Clement on the borders of
the forest Of Mondon, ten kilometers
from Luneville. 1t was seen at $50
a. M, journeying with two other Yep
pelins. 1t was at once attacked by one
of our army's defense sections At first
a series of shells were fired at the
Zeppelin when it was distant 1000
meters. The Zeppelin promptly rose
to height of $500 meters. In a fresh
attack by the aircraft guns the fourth
shell struck the outside envelope and
the Zeppelin caught fire. 1t now is a
mass Of metal and rubber and brok-
.en propellers. Five dead bodies, hor-
ribly mutilated, were found near the
Zeppelin. Others must be buried under
the ruins, which are still smoking.
There could not have been any bombs
left in the Zeppelin as no explosions
were heard. The apparatus had four
propellers.
About 2:2o p. M, Zeppelin number
forty-nine was forced by our aviators
to come to earth near Bourbonne Les
Bains. It is intact. The commanding
