As Plain as the Nose on Your

Smokers do not have to put tobacco

fpreu.red by the United states Department

The use of packing houses by apple
growers has increased rapidly during
recent years and constitutes devei-
opment in the right direction. say spe-
cialists of the bureau Of markets ana
crop estimates Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. They
have come into use in both large ana
small orchards, and many growers
who operate only q few acres OF APP
ple trees have their packing done IN
house or shed. This practice al
fords the following advantages:
Shelter is afforded In the assem-
bling Of unpacked fruit and the grad
ing and packing can be continued
without interruption In spite OF un'
| favorable weather.
Equipment, packages, and fruit are
| protected from the weather at Ill

The efficient organization of labor
is simplified by having all of the Work

that Is caused when the packing equip

The tendency among the larger ana
more progressive growers in all sec

small orchards, when the weather is
favorable, it may be advisable to pack
in the orchard, but in most instances
the use of a house or shed of some

Good Remedy ls to Cut Out All IN

The remedy for anthracnose is to

should be burned as soon as they are

The cost OF food in New York city in
May was 42.5 per cent higher than II
was in 1914, but 81 per cent less than
1t was last December. Taking the coun-
try as whole the cost of food was So

However. New York city's clothing is

uptown in Kahn's automobile. 'The
Alderman" was dropped somewhere or
the way uptown and then The McManu,
got out Of the car. Kahn and kloeble'n
went on to Tenth avenue
Kahn gave some instructions to his
boolfkeeper and signed a couple OF
checks. Then he turned to Kloebieir
and said. as Kloeblein has told friends
since:
You want your check? All right
Make out a check for $3.50 TO Mr.
Kloeblein." whereupon the bookkeeper
got busy with the checkbook again. In
formation now available to the COM
mittee is that Kloeblein insisted his
price was $4,000
Kahn is said TO have replied that he
had been put TO an expense of $4,000 in
the matter, of which Kloeblein should
stand half. or s1.750.
Some argument ensued, but kloebleir
finally accepted the check for $3.50

Within a few days Kahn began tear

work OF altering the Kloeblein place had
progressed so far that Kahn undertook
the task OF closing up his Tenth avenue
place. Yesterday that plant was almost
empty and "for sale" sign appeared
on the upper part of the building.
But along came the Joint Legislative
Committee and from some source un-
known there drifted in information con-
corning the Kahn-Kloeblein transaction

Of the matter and put trusted investiga-
tors to work on 1t. AS preliminary the
books Of Adolf Kahn were subponaed

where they now are.
An examination of these books showed
that several erasures had been made In
the books. with ink eradicators in items
concerning the Kloeblein purchase.
Handwriting experts were called in and
expert bookkeepers put to work The
latter decided that there had been en-
tries in the books dealing with three
separate sums. $4,000. $500 and $3.50.
Then there were some new entries OF
$3.50 and s1,750. The erasures and
alterations were such as to make the
whole transaction seem very curious.

the speaker said:
1--WE have provad our Americanism AMI
our loyalty to our country and It's in
stitutions. We have not eouged the
Government, nor have we i'll any way
lrofiteered. Those employers who have
shouted from the housetops of their
.Amer:canism have frequently shown up
as profiteers of the most rampant char
acter and burglars of public and prl-
veto treasures
More than so per cent. of the metal
trades unions are unemployed, said Mr..
O'Connoll, adding that unemployment at
this time Is a disease, more dangerous
and more degrading than any plague
that ever affected the human race"
1T Is astonishing" he asserted. that
we have not had during the last year
an Industrial warfare that would have
made the Government officials, the
profiteers and the employers lie awake
nights and wonder what the outcome
might be. That this has not occurred is
largely due and creditable to the leaders
of the trade union movement"
Secretary A. J. Berres of the depart
ment reported that, owing to the treas
uries Of the international unions being
depleted, 1t was impossible to continue
to resist wage reductions in the face of
the overwhelming numbers out OF EN-
ployment. He urged the convention to
make plans at once to raise funds and
be ready for new campaign at the first
