Fire Destroys Home at
Lewisville

Fire early Sunday morning de-
stroyed the home of Mrs. Emma
Alexander at Lewisville together
with her winters supply of coal.
For a while the blaze threatened
other homes in the town but the
quick response of the Singerly Fire
Company to the call for aid and
their excellent work kept the fire
from spreading. The loss is esti-
mated at S350O partly covered by
insurance.

Delaware Apple Belt.

Authorities on fruit agree that
there are no better apples than those
as produced in Delaware. Nowhere
does the King of Fruits ripen with a
handsomer skin, with juicier flesh or
with a more delicious flavor than on
the soils of Delaware.
The growers in this region are
helping themselves by establishing
zones. which for their record in pro
ducing the best are not to be eXcelled
anywhere else. One of these divisions
is in Kent county, and is known all
over the country as the Delaware
apple Belt" This belt was really es-
tabIished about 25 years ago in the
center of Kent county by the growers
Of the region, who finally settled on
apples to take the place of the peach
crop, which at that time was begin
ming to Wane.
This apple belt touches the edge Of
Dover and extends as far south as
FeLton. IN other words, it is about
ten square miles. Most of this terri
tory is fruit land and the fruits grown
upon it, beside the apples, are pears,
grapes, etc As a matter of fact the
apple belt is no better for the raising
Of fruit from the ground Immediately
to the north or south of the belt.

ELAWARES APPLE,
CROP WORTH OVER
A MILLION DOLLARS
State Depends Now on This
Crop for a Good Income

1t is estimated that this year the
crop of apples will exceed quarter OF
q million of barrels or that amounts
to 100000 baskets which this year
are selling wholesale at rs cents a
basket, which when figured out,
brings the grand total to S1,12O,OOo.
. In this estimate the apples used in
this state for the making of jam and
jellies has not been counted. This, it
il estimated, totals about 10 per cent
OF the output
In the months of July and August
of this year the Pennsylvania Railroad
shipped nearly $4,000 tons of apples
from the leading shipping points like
Wyoming and Woodside, with the for
mer being far ahead. This of course
counts only the early apples, and
gives an estimate of the late apples
which are now just about beginning
to be put into cars for shipment all
over the country. Delaware apples
have market that is not confined to
any one locality, and the demand for
them is so great, because of their
goodness and beauty, that their price
is also high. AS matter of fact, ap-
pies that have been grown in this
state are, to be found on sale in the
stores of the region of the great
Northwest, where it IS Grained they
grow the finest fruit ever.

An agent of the Near East Relief, soci-
ETY. whose object is TO raise money for the
suffering Armenians, WHO. rs everybody
knows, have been robbed and butchered by
the Turks, was making a speech at meet
ing in Celina. Ohio.
After the address the speaker noticed

his way Is the platform. He was an engi-
neer and his face was marked by scar
caused by blast Of steam. lie stood wait
ing at the edge of the crowd. The speaker
approached him and asked what he could
do for him.
The man said that all he wanted TO know
was whether ii was a sure thing that all
the money contributed to the fund actually
reached the starving Armenians. He was
assured, and proofs furnished.
II afterwards developed that this locomo-
tive engineer, whose name Is Robert Graf.
had already contributed fifteen hundred
dollars to the Relief Fund. This is a good
deal for an engineer to contribute out of
his salary.
But it was not all. Robert Graf went
home. sold his house for thirty-five hundred
dollars, and gave that to the Fund for the
purpose of purchasing an orphanage in
Armenia.
The agents of the Fund objected to taking
the money. as it seemed too much. Where
upon the engineer replied "Oh, that's moth
ing at all. / can't stand the idea of know
ing women and little children are going
hungry. Why. / could sell and give away

Was this man justified in this sort Of
giving?
Our first impulse is to say that he was

self and his wife before giving to others,
and that he was not prudent and thrifty.
This is good reasoning, perhaps, but it
leaves out the most important factor in
human nature and that is its capacity to
do something big and glorious and unreason-
able.
The reckless, hilarious, adventurous gam
bling instinct is not confined to doing
wrong. We can use it and get fun out Of
it also in doing right. You cannot get the
answer to life by adding up the figures Or
the balance sheet.

people like him, and / am glad to know
that humanity can. not only go to the devil
hilariously by getting drunk and spending

heaven hilariously and have a glorious, in
toxicating JOY in doing it, by giving away
all that one has to satisfy spendidly beau
tiful impulse.
The more ] think Of this incident. the
bigger this man looms in my imagination

Robert Graf was not giving away his
money because he didn't realize what it
cost. He did realize it. He said "You
