And vet we know q lawn wherein the

The elm tree which stood at the edge
OF the sidewalk in the area back of Odd

"P. E. S. 21-B. A. 8" was Q legend

Oh, yes, as we have been often remind
ed By our friends since the last issue Of
relation between apple juice and con-
VersaiiOn, though what it was intended
to connect was apple waste and conserva-
ton. At any rate, careful reading OF
the Democrat Is indicated, even though
II is the occasional typographical error
that attracts most comment.
A box of straw berries, mainly luscious
ripe berries, but containing . few sam
pies Of green ones and number of bios
sons Was prese q ed to the Democrat by
Eben Z. Chapman on the Goth of Octo-
bee. They grew outdoors, and are of
course everbesripg berries, Of the Pro-
gressive variety. Heretofore our faith
IN everbearing berries has been q little
weak, but II must be admitted that with
this exhibit we are almost persuaded.
OF course no one in this prohibition
nation is planning TO sell fermented sp-
pie juice, but for some reason there
seems 10 be an almost unprecedented
demand for cider apples this year. Sew
sral parties have been buying and snip
ping from South Paris, and the compe-
titiOn last week developed quite merry
little war. The price which was for
while one dollar per hundred pounds
went down to IS cents, then to 70, when
the competition developed, and the price
went back to IS, then back to $l.0O, and
quite a quantity were sold at S1.15.
Which figure, before the era OF high
prices, would have seemed like some
price for cider apples.
