Over 400 Attend Event and
Cheer The Juvenile
Exhibitors.

Ihp IWeiiest, night III the history
Of the. local Y. NJ. C. A. was perhaps
"Jass Night" Saturday. Fully 400
and maybe $50 highly interested
spectators assembled for the occas-
ion and there wasn't tame moment
from start to finish. Not all the au-
ditors We're boys and youth. for
there were scores of fair folk and
great many men of mature ages
who We're just as highly elated and
delighted as the small boy and for
the time being forgot their years,
aches and worries in this harmless
and invigorating enjoyment. There
was no rough stuff on the program,
Physical Director Harris and his as
sistants were here, there and every
where looking after the boys who
engaged in the various bouts, seeing
that nothing in the games would as
sumo any of this roughness. 1t can
be realized that everybody had a
great time as most all remained I'M
til the affair wound up about IL
O'Clock, sang and cheered, and help
ed the boys consume some 500 dough-
nuts, gallons OF cocoa and innumer-
able apples. During the evening
there was mass singing and splendid
vocal selections by the Misses Hale,
Effie Daiuto, Arthur Glover, DR.. G.
b. Geyer, who had charge of the
musical stunts; Frank Colley and
Earl Brown.
All of this was good and greatly
appreciated by the crowd, but the
athletic features produced the great
est enthusiasm Bert Cline and
Iohn Jacobs. John Won Schlegell and
Benton Boogher. Kent Miller, Jr,,
and Gus Wiltshire, Jr., boxed for
about minute and won the plaud-
its of the excited spectators. Bruce
Weller and Franklin Foster, Billy
Darlington and Billy Lindsay, boy
Of 16 years and up gave boxing e
hibitions lasting about two minute
Iommie Markell was the hit of e.
evening when he challenged ar
youth Of t4S pounds to an encounto.
Edgar Michaels answered the Cha'-
leuge and gave Tommie The sur
prise of his life. However, the van

dent; William Farria, OF Cumber-

The close Of this meeting marked
the conclusion of one OF the most
instructive and best attended hor-
ticultural society meetings that has
ever been held in this state, Every
one was unanimous in saying they
got more actual good out of the
talks which were given and out of
the trip which was taken to visit
the State Demonstration Packing
Plant at lnwood than they had re-
The morning session was occu-
pied with addresses by II. Il. Crane,

be- said In passing that the conclu-
sions which were drawn from his
talk point to the advantageous use
of nitrate OF soda on orchards which
are growing on poor or badly used
| soils.
Prof + e. Auchter, formerly OF
the West Virginia Experiment Sta
ton. and now connected with The
Maryland State College. gave q
very excellant summary on the of
feet Of pollinatton and fruit spur
growth, on the yield of apple trees
! His discussion of pollination open
ed the eyes Of a good many men
! present, and gave them some ideas
which win undoubtedly help to pre-
vent some of the mistakes which
have been made in setting out new
orchards. He recommended bees
as a good means OF helping pollinate
an orchard and thereby s<ure sci
of fruit. He also gave some very
excellent suggestions on the plant
ing Of varieties which would help to
pollinate Rome Beauty and other
varieties which are not self-polli
mated.
He was followed by Dr. Charles
Brooks, of the U, s. Department Of
Agriculture, who gave the latest re
port on apples held in cold storage
The afternoon program included
addresses by Theodore Wade, of the

dngs of the Experiment Station on
Orchard busting Experiments; A. j
ment Station, On Orchard spray
Farley, of ihe New Jersey Expert
ing in New Jersey, and DR.. j. x
Shaw, recently appointed horticul
turist for West Virginia.
Not the least appreciated by any
means OF the many good features
on the program was a treat OF Del
cious apples made by Henshaw, Hol
lis & Co. The apples came direct
from cold storage and were mos'
appropriate and much appreciated.

that their banks are warning them
TO prepare for a panic a the little

Panic literature is being circulated in

seems TO be unanimous agreement
that panic would be good thing
to have.

FORMER CAFE OWNER is
SLAIN BY ASSASSIN

Chicago May flames Colosimo.
for years noted cafe owner was
slain by an assassin in a rear room of
his cafe late today Caiisimo OBJ
tanned a divorce and married Dale
Winter. cabaret singer whom he had
educated.
The body which was found in the
dimly lighted room by an empIoye
bore two wounds. No one in the
place heard the shots.
The authorities are investigating
the case from two angles. First that
a friend of the former Mrs Colosimo
may have done the shooting and sec
ond that the assassin was a gunma n
implicated in one OF the recent kill
ingS that have marked the war be-
tween rival factions of the men who
rule with pistols
