THE STIkE Is OFF
and APPLES MOVE

After an inactivity of three days be-
cause of the impending strike of rail.
way brotherhoods, the Apple Growers
Association Monday night, when the
news of settlement of the strike diff
culties and the supreme court decision,
declaring the Adamson law as consti-
tutional, reached here, again began
loading refrigerator cars and routing
out the last of the 1916 apple crop.
Sixteen carloads of fruit were shipped
Tuesday, and within the next few days
the shipping concerns storage houses
will have reached their normal state of
emptiness for this season of the year.
The Association now has less than 100
carloads of fruit in storage, and so per
cent of this, it is stated, has already
been purchased.
The Association will keep in reserve
here for several weeks stocks of New
towns to accommodate demands of its
customers who may have sold out their
earlier supplies.
The railway strike was watched with
great anxiety on the part of local men.
The strike was first called for last
Saturday at o'clock, employees in the
freight department of eastern rail
ines to walk out first, these to be
followed on successive days by other
groups. The final walkout, however,
was postponed for 48 hours, and before
this time had elapsed settlement had
been reached, the rail companies
granting the demands of the trainmen.

The favorites of the screen, Harold
Lockwood and May Allison, in "John
Tremaine, the hero, is robbed by his
own brother of sum of money which
has been entrusted to him. The bro
ther, David, also wins the girl John
loves. Brokenhearted John leaves
home, remaining away seven years,
and then returns to find that his bro
ther is dead and that his mother sus-
poets John of having stolen the money.
These are heavy burdens for one man
to bear in silence. John not only does
all of this, but he helps David's widow,
and his conduct is so straightforward
and honorable that he wins the love
and respect of his neighbors and-an-
other girl. The neighbors call John
"Big Tremaine," and that is just what
he is-a big man whose spirit cannot
be crushed by auversity.
Seeing the play on the screen arouses
a great glow of admiration for John
and a strong hope that the love of this
new girl in his life will blot out all the
injustice that has surrounded him. 1t
does, and "Big Tremaine" becomes all
that the name implies.
