Varieties

Waterloo, Ia.VHundreds of car
loads of apples have been shipped in
to Waterloo without causing a stir,
but it's rather different when Black
Hawk county apples, usually con-
sidered as nothing better than a poor
excuse for hog food, are being ship
ped to big city markets and finding
a ready sale.
Today 500 bushels of Dutchess
apples, as good as any in the world,
T, were started for fruit brokerage
houses in Minneapolis, Mimi, by O..
L. Gordon, fruit farmer, located one
mile south Of Cedar Heights in the
Cedar Falls road, and his associate
w. R. Lumry. The apples are sent
out in bushel baskets in an iced re-
frigerator car-which sounds a great
deal like the treatment accorded the
famous and high priced Washington
and Colorado apples. These appear
just as good, as the best of the fruit
from the west.
mo one ever gives Iowa credit
for being good apple state" said
Mr.. Lumry. ''yet just as good apples
can be raised in Black Hawk county
as anywhere in the United States"
The Gordon orchard consists OF
23 acres. From these are expected
more than 5000 bushels of apples.
many of them of the we'll known
Wealthy variety. The first car
load will bring the growers about
$3.50 per bushel, stated Mr.. Lumry
"our apples do not find ready
sale on the Waterloo markets, be-
cause they cannot compete with the
unsprayed varieties brought to town
by the average farmer. Our orchard
is cared for as a garden would be
and it is sprayed and pruned ac-
cording to the best knowledge Of
the apple business. The result is a
large, firm, clean apple Of excellent
flavor and free from blemishes."
The Gordon farm is one of the
largest in this vicinity devoted to
apples. There are several other grow
ers near Waterloo with less acreage
who use the same care In raising
their fruit but none of them have
attempted large shipments.

DAYLIGHT Law
KNOCKED OUT
Senate and House of Repre- .<. =,
Passed the Repeal of the .re,0f1
Over President Wilson's
Veto.
CLOCK GO BACK TO
NORMAL ON OCT. 4.
Farmers Declared They Could Not
Adjust Farm Work to the Ad-
vanced Time With the Clock
Ahead an Hour

Repeal of the daylight savings act
was accom-, lished Wednesday. The
senate voted to sustain the house in
passing the repeal measure over
President Wilson's veto. The vote
was 81 to 10.
The repeal of the law, which now
takes its place among the very few
which have been passed over presi-
Dental veto, becomes effective after
the clocks are turned back to normal
in October. 1t will go down in legis-
lative history as one of the very few
measures which twice have been ve-
toed by president and become law
by the vote of more than two-thirds
in both houses of congress.
Agitation for repeal of the day
light saving law first came from far
mers, but recently was butressed by
labor unions, mothers clubs, rural
school authorities, and many other
interests.
y DoH OpiLLOll~ uioO ucCdhiO ui'iuCo
and officials of many cities and small
Ter towns demanded repeal. Congress
was flooded with petitions for repeal
and with petitions urging retention
of the statute.
Loss of time in farm labor was the
principal objection raised to the law.
This complaint came principally from
farmers employing ''hired hands. I"
Opponents of the law declared all
farmers, at some time during the
summer season, are employers of
labor and suffered from the law.
The complaint of loss of labor W &
based principally on the shortening
of the working day on the farm by
the advancing Of the clock one hour
from March to October.
The farmers declared they could
not adjust farm work to the advanc-
ed time because, with the clock ad-
vanced an hour, farm work could
not be begun as early in the morning
as under the normal time schedule
and must close an hour earlier. This
is because the dew on the ground in
the early morning prevented piowing
and other farm labor under the adj
vanced time schedule.

"The trouble these days is that
men are too willing to permit even
their thinking to be done for them.
They are more than willing to let
their work be done for them," as
serts the Cedar Rapids Gazette. I'VE
complain about high prices and
charge them wholly to monopoly,
which admittedly is playing its part
in bolstering them. But production
still has much to do with the cost OF
things produced. And production is
dwindling in the United States every
year, when the increase in number
of laborers is compared to the
amount OF labor done. Time was
when mer were paid for what they
did Nc n many instances, they
are pal what they do not ~

SHARON

The people of Sharon, and vicinity
were very much shocked and grieved
last week to learn of the death of Sa
Iona B. Wishek, aged So years, who
died in a Bismark, N. D. hospital on
April '7th.
Miss Wishek was very we'll known
in this vicinity, where she spent al
most her entire life and her activ-
tiles in all lines of public work in
Sharon were worthy of emulation.
She graduated from the Sharon high
school at the age of Is and for
many years thereafter was engaged
in teaching school in the township.
More than year ago she was
stricken with pneumonia and for a
time her life was despaired of. She
recovered however, and when
strength permitted went to Ashley,
N. d., to visit her only brother, John
Wishek, and look after claim she
had taken up. During the past win
ter, Miss Wishek was engaged in
teahing school in the west and when
not so engaged assisted her brother
in his bank.
She was taken ill with pneumonia
and removed to a hospital where her
death occurred, the news. of which
casts a gloom over a large circle of
friends. The deceased was buried in
Ashley. Beside the brother, one sis
ter, Mrs. Lewis Jones of Michigan
remains to mourn her loss.
