AMERICAS FRUIT, THE APPLE
People Are Beginning to Show u
Proper Appreciation, and Crop
Should Be Increased.

Americans are coming TO treat ap-
piles more as food and less as u
between meals superfiuity than they
used to do, yet when the north wind
blows and the Preside glows they
can't refrain from paying especial a.
tention to the question whether there
Is plenty Of them. This year. the
farm reports tells us. there Is not.
There are. in the whole country.
1901 900 barrels fewer than there
were In 1918. and almost the same
shortage from the crop OF 1910,
though we are considerably better of
than we were in 1917. That is. we
have 24.OOOOOO barrels this yenr.
That's about one for each family in
the country. and each family. not each
member thereof. might. If they were
evenly distributed. have one apple a
day. The true lover Of apples VIII
never admit this to be sufficient. and
he should not.
1t is not especially. cheering to
learn that the country's crop Of ap-
pies does not tend to increase. Our
record crop was in 1912. hut we had
almost as many in 1896. and the crop
In 1895 was greater than that in
either of the past four years. But
the apple is Americas fruit. the most
satisfactory. the most dependable. The
most healthful fruit in the world

Turtle Eggs in Chow.

Boiled turtle eggs are novelty
which has been added to the mess of
the United States marines on duty ut
the naval station at Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba.
Two 200-pound turtles were cap
tured recently by mar;nes while sail
ing small boat on the bay. When
they were killed more than 100 eggs
we're found in each.
The egg of the turtle when re-
moved from, the body has soft shell.
The egg itself is about the size of a
hens egg The inside resembles in
taste and appearance the yolk of a
hens egg.
The eggs are boiled hard, and the
shell is peeled off like the outer skin
of an onion.

New York, April The smallest
annual increase in Protestant church
thirty years is recorded for 1919, in
membership in the United States for
statistics compiled by DR.. II. X. Kar-
roll, who prepared the first official
census OF religions, and made public
tonight by the Christian Herald.
The increase for 1919 was only 56,-
900 as compared with the average in
crease for the ten years previous OF
771,974. The slump started. he said,
in 1918, which showed an increase OF
only $4,000 members.
The hitherto most prosperous de-
nominations in the United States
showed the following decreases for
the year: Methodist Episcopal, co.
940; Presbyterian (U S. A. Northern)
32.3Os; Disciples of Christ, 17,645;
Methodist Episcopal (South), 16,404 I;
Northern Baptist Convention, 9,156;
National Baptist Convention, 35,O07 I;
Presbyterian GU. s. A. Southern),
SSH; United Presbyterian, 1906;
Cumberland Presbyterian, 1915;
Welsh Calvinistic Presbyterian, 922;
Norwegian Lutheran, 2,91O.
Among reasons assigned for de-
creases were interruption or supen-
sion of regular work of many par
ishes by the war; calling of pastors
from pulpits by the concentration of
efforts in centenary and other gigan-
tic drives for funds, and great in
crease in deaths, due partly to in
huenza.

USE DOGS AS SMUGGLERS
Animals Aid Illicit Dealers in Bring.

Training dogs TO smuggle liquor
across the Rio Grande river is the

of Illicit importation to the United

ing nightly trips between Juarez and
FL Paso with cOntraband goods for
several months. The strange. hui
regular. actions of the animal first
were noted by customs officers about
two months ago. Beginning al Two
o'clock In the morning, the dog would
begin his operations. Signal lights
flashed by confederutes In the gang of
snlugglers stationed on each side or
the river always preceded the dogs

cluster of squaiid adobe houses along
the Mexican side Of the river, the ami

''smuggler" always was successful In
eluding pursuers. who often sought to

FOR SHANGHAI

Shanghai, Jan. 29.-An industrial
university to cost 100000 will be
erected in Shanghai if the plans OF
Chinese educators and Industrial
leaders are attained. The idea was
suggested by Professor c. w. Wood
worth, of the university of California
one time lecturer at Marking uni
versity.
1t is intended to conduct the uni
versity on American lines, with equip
ment and instructors from the United
States.
A novel feature of the proposed
university will be the incorporation in
ii of a complete cotton mill which
will employ its students al require
them to perform productive toll as
we'll as school work. Three leading
Chinese of Shanghai have gone to the
United States to visit schools and
obtain ideas for the establishment OF
the university.

Rome Jan. 29.-Italy has emerged
from the war with a greater popula-
tion than she had before, though with
a considerably lessened number OF
men This Is due to the addition oil
1000. 200 by the restoration of Italian
territory heretofore under Austrian
rule and to the high birth rate which
it is estimated kept the population up
to its normal of 36.O0O,OOO despite the
loss Of 100000 by war.
The trend of the population towarc
the cities is great but perhaps moi
greater than in other European coun-
tries. Munition works and war In
dustries of all sorts attracted labor
which shows no disposition to return
! to the farms and villages. Many
families hich became rich during the
war have moved to the importan.
, cities and are spending their money
lavishly for luxuries. One newly-ricf
family in Rome hung an entire aprtt.
ment including the servants quar-.
, tiers with elaborate tapestries and
purchased seven pianos.
The population of Milan ha.
grown from $4,000 to 1914 to $50 900
Genoa has increased from $50 900 to
100000 Naples had 66S,O0O at the

DEM. PRIMARY TO BE
HELD ON JUNE 3

| Jacksonville, JAN 30-The state
Democratic primary will be held on
June s. at which time twelve dele
gates to the national convention in
San Francisco on June 20 will be
named, presidential electors for Flor
| ida named and candidates for vari-
Gus state and national Offices will be
nominated This action was decided
here yesterday at meeting of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, called by Chairman George P.
Raney, of Tampa.
The meeting was harmonious
throughout and, in addition to the
transaction of considerable business,
the members of the committee listen
/ ed to an address by David R. Francis,
United States ambassador to Russia
who discussed the bolshevik menace
and suggested the league of nations
as the remedy.
A resolution introduced by George
w. Bassett of st. Johns county tG
call state convention at Ocala on
April Is, was voted down.
! A resolution in favor of equal suf-
frage was offered by H. S. Glazier of
Manatee. by request" but the COM
mittee tabled it by vote of "a to s.
Considerable sentiment in favor of
votes for women developed at the
meeting and the action of the COM
mittee in tabling the Glazier resolu-
ton by no means represents the
sentiment of the committee in the
matter, it was said. The position
was taken by several speakers that
equal suffrage was matter to be
passed upon by the state legislature
and that it had no place in the bust
ness OF the committee.
Endorse National Administration
A resolution endorsing the admin
istration of President Woodrow vii
son was offered and unanimously
adopted. No reference was made
either by resolution or in speeches
by committeeman regarding the
League of nations.
When the time for converting the
committee arrived the convention
was alive with politicians and on
lockers eager to watch the delibera
lions, and the gathering furnished oc
casion for arenewal of acouaintances
