SHOULD SELL
SUMMER APPLE
State College Sends Out Warning to
Growers-Take Less Money
II Necessary.

Sell the summer apples and save
the winter ones. This is the warn
ing being sent out by the horticul-
tural men of the agricultural extern
sion department at Iowa State col
lege.
Growers who have large number
of summer apples would do well to
advertise them at fairly low price
ard let the consumer pick them
under the supervision Of the grower.
Town people with autos might be IN
duced to come out to the country
and get the apples. This would be
much better than letting them go to
waste. The grower should supervise
the picking, however, for persons I'M
familiar with picking would be likely
to injure the trees.
Summer apples such as the
Duchess, Yellow Transparent and
Early Harvest are excellent for dry
ing, for cider, for vinegar or apple
syrup. Worms are not bad this year,
but even wormy apples will do for
drying, as well as culls. Apples for
drying should be picked hard ripe,
as the mellow ripe apple does not
dry well.
Fall and winter varieties, ripening
after the Wealthy, should not be
sold. but should be stored and held
over until in the winter. A patriotic
use can be made Of the fruit cellar
and service performed by the farm
err who holds his fruit over.

FEW VETERANS OF
1907 IN MAJORS
Ten Years Change Big League Rosters
Almost ompIeteiy-Those That
Remain are on Last
Legs.

Neither major league today could
muster dozen players who were in
their ranks ten years ago. The list of
veterans of 1907 is appallingly small
and testities eloquently to how short
the life of a big league player is.
Moreover most of those who are
playing today are long past their
prime and barely managing to hold on
in fast company. There are a few ex-
ceptions. Ty Cobb, Harry Chase,
Clyde Milan, Walter Johnson, Jack
Coombs and Eddie Plank in the Ameri-
can league and Dode Paskert, Mike
Mowrey and Ed Konetchy in the Ma
tional, are as good or nearly as good
as ever They are still stars at any
rate.
The other veterans, however, are
surely slipping. Sam Crawford is just
about passing out. Tub Spencer and
Bobby Wallace were called /ba X this
year mostly to give their experiences
to younger men. Walsh and Bender
are little more than nam s, monikers
that are still supposed to and cccas-
ionally do charm the batter.
The conditions are about the same
in the National league. Hans Wagner,
Sherwood Magee, Frank Schultz. ar
ry Doyle, Fred Merkle, Johnny Evers,
Hans Lobert and Red Ames still have
some baseball left in them. But they
are far below the form that made
them famous and only Warner and
Evers have been playing regularly.

entire state for funds which
may be used in purchasing comforts

urgent To be of service, donations
should be raised and sent at once.
Chaplain Robb has issued the fol-
lowing letter:
Dear Friends: Have you boy. a
husband, brother, or sweetheart,
or friend, in the army? If SO, you
will be interested in this letter.
Did you ever think about who
looks after your boy when he is sick
and in case he should die while in
the army? The Young Mems Chris
tian association looks after his
amusem ents and his morals. The
Red Cross looks after his health. But
when he is on the sick bed, the chap
lain is the man who is by his side,
and in case your boy is called while
away from home, to enter the valley
of the shadow of DEATH the chaplain
is the man who holds his hand. takes
his last message, and whispers the
word of hope into his ear. Wouldn't
you like to be there with your boy
at that hour to buy few flowers, a
little fruit, or other comforts he may
crave? / know you would, but this
is impossible, and so he turns to the
chaplain and talks to him as he
would like to talk to you
Each chaplain has three thousand
seven hundred of somebody's boys
to work with. to comfort to pray
for. He would like to buy flowers
and fruit for all when they are sick
or wounded, but he cannot. He does
not have the money. To provide for
such needs, Colonel Bennett has sug-
gested raising fund among the
friends and relatives OF the bows. to
be known as the chaplain's fund, so
come to you and ask you to send
the money you would be glad to spend
for his comfort If you were there,
thus enabling the chaplain to do for
him the little things you would so
love to do.

dred Iowa boys. brave hearted fell
lows. Several of them are sick now
and I need money for them every
day. l also need money for fold
ing chapel organ, some song books,
and one hundred volumes of good
literature. Under the present condi-
tons the chaplain is conducting SER
vice with no equipment whatever,
not even song book. VIII you help
that they may have these and the
other things mentioned? If SO, fill

why Don't the City Do it,

Waterloo Times-Tribune: Occas-
ionally even some well informed men
turn to the city to do this thing and
that. When the price Of coal goest
| up beyond what a good many people,
think is just. or the price OF milky
or of other necessities, many ask: ,
"Why doesn't the city establish itself
in business and furnish the people
with these things" !,
II equires but lit.la knowledge on
municipal law to know hat TIE mu-
nicipality is not organized to go intol
the buying and selling business.F
The city has no warren. to do this.
It has no funds to do 1t with. II

property without due process OF law
and not even II it could so con-
fiscate could 1t go into business

ganized as q business proposition.
nor are we arrived at the period OF
socialism, or partial socialism.
Iowa cities make tax levy. IheyV
assess property and collect the taxes.
The law says distinctly what thcy
shall do with this money. There IS
no authority in the law for the pur-
chase Of coal, milk or other mer'
chandise. They can neither buy this
material nor sell it. There Is spec
ial section of the law which gives
the city the right to take over pup
lie utilities like water works, gas
light and power plants. ETC., OF 10

is given the city to go into the gen
