SCARCITY Of APPLES
Supply All over the Country Is Fast
q Being Depleted.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Apples are said to be growing
scareer every day. Local commission
houses report the holdings of bar
rel and box apples all over the
country are being depleted, and
prices, as is usual at this time oil
year, are beginning to advance, and
are expected to become quite high.
On account of the heavy freeze in
sF1orida the market on California or
.anges in advancing. Local housed
do not expect any cheap oranges as
the demand is extra heavy, the east
ern territory which formerly OBJ
tanned oranges from Florida now
drawing on California for its supply.
Owing to the extreme cold in the
south grape fruit is scarce, and the
price may advance somewhat. Sum-
mer prices, which are always higher
than winter prices, are now being
paid fors bananas, and it is not
known whether the high price is
due to the lack of fruit or lack OF
transportation facilities.
There is now difference of from
SO cents to a dollar per hundred on
bananas and from one to two hun
dred dollars difference in the price
OF a carload over old prices. The
onion crop in Texas, which usually
begins to move the first couple O
weeks in February and from then OF
to March, is three weeks late on ac-
count of the cold in the south. The
acreage in Texas is larger this yea
than ever before, and the crop prom
ises to be good Local houses are be-
ginning to receive California cab
bage, Florida celery, cocoanuts ant
: all. sorts of vegetables, including
carrots, rutabagas and beets.
Cranberries are still On the mar
ket, and the price has not advanced
The potato market appears un
changed. 1t was expected that whel
Northern Minnesota, Wisconsin an,
! Dakota began to ship seed potatoe
the price would advance, but appar
entity the price was high enough an
an advance would cause check O
the output.

From Fridays Daily.

Washington, March 2-The British en-
bassy today gave out the statement that
it knew nothing Of the letter written by
the German foreign minister, Herr Zim.
Mexico City, revealing the plot to Join
Mexico and Japan in war against the
United States. until the whole matter
was published yesterday.
Washington, March 2-The national
government is in possession of in
formation to the effect that millions
of dollars were sent by Germans re-
siding in America to the Carranza
government. This was learned from a.
high government authority today.
Some of the remittances were made
in the purchase of smelter plants by
those who sent the money. These
deals went on with the knowledge of
the American government, and were
kept up Notwithstanding the fact that
the American government gave the
parties warning that unless these
transactions received the approval OF
the United States government, this
: government could not be expected to
support them. These facts bear a
striking relation to the discovery by
President Wilson and Secretary Lans-
ing that the German government has
actually plotted to form coalition
of Mexico and Japan for the purpose
of attacking the United States.
Activities of Bernstorff.
1t has been learned that Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff. while at Washington,
7, long before the severance of diplo-
! matte relations between the United
States and Germany, had been giving
out instructions to consuls and Ger
man agents all over the United
States, as to what preparations should
/. be made for such an outcome as Ger
many had planned. The count had al
so instructed the consuls how to leave
their affairs in the hands of agents in
America, after the severance OF dip
. lomatic relations. %ss
1t is understood that the admins
tration has other facts, all pointing to
the same conclusion, namely that
while Germany and the United States
were at peace, Germany was making
all possible preparations for break
with America and using any sort OF
clandestine means in her power to
accomplish her ends.
The revolutionary outbreaks in
Cuba and Costa RIGA have been traced
to German sources.

real call upon America and should be
answered enthusiastically to push this
war TO victorious and conclusive end.
Big Business Responding.
Our business institutions of all classes
are subscribing splendidly, and the
country is now awaiting the help Of the
average man and those with moderate
means. Many of our financial institu-
tions in addition to their own liberal
subscriptions, are making preparations
for giving generous financial aid to in
tending purchasers, some institutions
having gone so far as to loan money to
small buyers ON the same rate as that

Great Britain with a population of 47,-
900 600 each secured over 100000 sub
scribers for their maximum loans of
about $5 5000 100000, the United States
with a population of over 100,000,00O
should have at least eight or ten million
subscribers, which means less than $25
per capital This is our first real fin
ancial test of patriotism and upon the
successful flotation of this loan depends
the success of our own efforts and those
Of our allies. Americans will not fail
in the hour of need, provided they real
ize the obligations that 90 with our re-
sponsibilities as a world power and the

A Patriotic Duty.
The great mass of our people, whose
savings are limited, hesitate about in
vesting in the Liberty bonds, as they
do not care to tie up their money. The
merchants generally, and particularly
the large retail dealers, could popularize
the loan by offering to accept the bonds
at any time a. par and accrued interest
to the date of transfer in amounts up to
$500 IF this were done the $50 and
$100 bonds would be just as good as
money on deposit, drawing interest. and
subject to sight draft, and the man of
limited means, and the small storekecp-
ers would subscribe freely and hold
the bonds unless necessity compelled
them to part with them in settlement Of
a debt or for necessary cash purchases
of goods. The accrued interest would
be as follows:

New York, May 26--The country is
squarely facing a greater strain upon
its financial resources than ever imag-
ined possible. How are we responding.
and what measure of success can we
anticipate? OF our abundant ability
to rleet the emergency there is no doubt.
Two billions of money is huge

without any serious arrangement. Yet,
If each citizen and each state does its
share, according to its resources, the
loan will be a success. 1t is estimated
that New York state should contribute
$3.50 100000 as its share, or more than
quarter; Pennsylvania, 100000, 900;

countries where it has been ried.
Doubtless we shall learn much from
their experience, but when the war is
over many of these arrangements will
have to be undone, and what the out
come will be is beyond calculation, ex-
cept that the country's industries will
certainly not return to their former
basis.
On the stock exchange there has been
wider activity and a frequent strength
ening Of values in both industrials and
railroads. The recovery was partly due
to previously oversold market; partly
to the support incidental to successful
bond issue, and partly to buying of the
stocks likely to be favorably affected
by prolongation of the war, notably
the steel issues. The money market
continues easy. Funds are abundant
and there is every probability of the
Liberty Loan being placed without any
important monetary arrangements. Our
crop outlook is improving, the crop pros
poets now being for better yields than
at one time anticipated. Prices, how
ever, continue generally high, chiefly as
result of the various phases of war
initiation.

MAYOR OF DELoIT MAKES GOOD
imposes Some Stiff Fines Upon Dis
turbers OF. the Peace and Col
lects khe Money

Mayor O. w. Wier, of Deloit, has de-
monstrated that he will not tolerate
any roWdyism and started in Saturday
night to make house cleaning There
was a public dance at the hall in De-
lott that evening and number of fell
lows attended, who, later in the eve
ming, became more or less under the
influence of liquor with the result
that a row started, and number of
the fellows finally landed in Jail or
the Deloit cooler. 1t is said that a
young man who has been making his
home in Denison and near by terri
tory was among the bunch and after
being confined for time, decided the
jail could not hold him. Acting upon
the aforesaid brainstorm he broke out
of the close confinement and came to
place near Denison where he was
the next day and returned
to Deloit for trial. He was taken be-
fore Mayor Wier, and after some little
parley. the mayor thought 500 would
about pay for the repairs, and imposed
that amount, together with the costs
of the trial. He also thought the
young mCn had. been carrying too
much of a load and taxed him an ex-.
ira $40 for being intoxicated. Others
OF the party made up the purse that
brought the amount up to a little
better than $4,000. Mayor Wier says
everybody is welcome to come to De-
lott at all times, but that they must
preserve order.
