To the Editor of The Republican.
For many years the members Of
Crook Post G. a. R, have been &C.
customed to visit the last resting place
of the deceased members of their Post
and hold their ritual services, scatter
beautiful flowers and place flag on the
graves of their deceased comrades who
wore the Blue or Grey. The time has
arrived when the few living comrades,
on account of the infirmitles of age,
and ravages death has made in their
ranks. have ceased to be able as an
Order to carry out their usual program.
1t has been suggested that the sons,
grandsons, daughters and granddaugh
tiers of the old comrades now assume
this patriotic duty and place flag and
scatter flowers on the grave of each
friend and comrade. 1t is also suggested
that they gather at the cemeteries at
1870 O'Clock on the morning of May
80, 1917. and carry out this beautiful
custom and continue the same each
year on the 30th day of May.

ripening process, causing the fruit to
ripen prematurelY. Hence, oranges
and bananas are never shipped in the
same storage compartments.
EXPERTS DETERMINE RIPENEsS
Now by investigations with its sp-
paratus known as the respiration
calorimeter, the Bureau of Home
Economics of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has been able
to ascertain the precise point at which
the banana is ripe enough to be
palatable, digestibIe and nutritious. To
give detailed account Of this process
would only bore the reader, so suffice it
to say that q bunch Of rairly green
bananas was placed in the calorimeter
which looks something like an oven
and the chemists of the department
gathered about and observed the
chemical changes which took place, as
the fruit ripsned, through the glass
window of the owen" The various
stages through which the fruit pas ed
are best described in the following
table, which also may be OF some use to
the average purchaser of bananas.
This table, however, was not compiled
By the Department of Agriculture, but
by the New York doctors who made the
experiments already referred to.
Stages of the bananas ripening as
shown by its appearance are:
First, very green; second, greenish
yellow, with pea green tip and edges
and bitter flavor; third, yellow except
extreme edges and tip, beginning of
golden yellow, bitter favor almost gone;
fourth, all yellow except extreme tip,
greenish cast to edges; fifth, golden
yellow, greenish cast to edges, occa-
sional brown specks, no herbaceous
flavor; sixth, full golden yellow, with
brown specks, strong amylacetate
flavor; seventh, patches of light brown
shades, and eighth, largely light brown.
1t is better to let bananas ripen on
the stem. but if necessary buy them
while yellow and let them ripen after
wards. Under these circumstances
there is no excuse for indigestion.

That President Wilson recently and
for the first time since the war began
received a suffrage delegation.
That the next day the President
wired chairman Pole of the House Com
mittee on Committees urging the ap-
pointment OF a special committee on
woman suffrage, declaring it to be a
wise move of public policy"
That George Creets, newspaper man
and magazine writer brought to Wash
ington by the President to censor the
news, is an ardent suffragist.
That quoting from the recent Gov
eminent report as to the proportionate
recruiting for the regular army in the
various states during April, the follow
ing figures are cited: Average per
cent. of their quota recounted by for
Western States, practically all of which
have equal suffrage 295 per cent. in
the middle west where states have
given women Presidential Suffrage the
per cent. was 1879. In Eastern states
it was only los per cent.
