The Carthage Press publishes a
story that has every element OF the
old blood-and- thunder novel which we
thought could never happen in real
life. 1t goes like this In 1900 Solon
Neff and Lille Brighton oloped from
her parents home in Neosho and
were married. Two children were
born. In 1904 Neff developed tuber-
culosis and went to the home of his
wealthy parents in Rocky Ford Col,
from where he wrote his wife and
sent her money. In 1906 his wife's
unrelenting father notified him that
she had divorced him and married
again. She was told at the same time
that her husband was dead, his let
tcrs having been intercepted by her
father. In 1906 she married Albert
Barnes and i'm 1912 Neff married
again. In the meantime his parents
had died, leaving him wealthy, and
his sons had grown considerably.
Last June Nefrs second wife died,
and he returned to Neosho for infor-
nation about his boys. After some
time he found the barnes home in
Commerce, and Mrs. Barnes instantly
recognized her sacred dead" Then
the truth came out. Barnes offered
to get out of the situation if his wife
still loved Neff She did and all was
we'll There were no other children
by either marriage.

Italian Cable Service

Manager Livingstone of the Western
Union Telegraph Company announces
an arrangement effective as of Sep
tember II, whereby cabled money
transfers to Italy will be paid in
American funds at the option of the
sender. In other words, if say 500 is
cabled via Western Union to Naples
the amount will be paid at destination
either in United States currency or in
lire according to the choice of the re-
mitter.
The particular value of this arrange
ment is that it eliminates all questions
of exchange and places the payee IN
position to take full advantage OF the
premium on American currency. 1t
also involves refund of the full amount
deposited in the case of non-payment,
which is another great advantage IN
the case of q deprecated and declining
foreign currency. The Western Union
Telegram Company believes that the
establishment of a direct money trans
fer service to Italy on the dollar basis
will be a considerable convenience to
people desiring to send money cheaply,
quickly. safely. and directly to their
friends or relatives in that country.

GROWER FROM SOUTH
AFRICA VISITS HERE

1t is the aimsof apple growers in the
four corners of the globe to bring their
orhards to the perfection found in the
Pacific Northwest of the United States.
Each year for the past decade orchard
lists from Australia, Tasmania, Peru.
Chile and various states of the Union
have made pilgrimages here to study
methods of cultivation and packing ap-
pies. The latest visitor from a far
distant fruit section is j. A. Reinecke,
of Cape Town, South Africa.
Mr.. Reinecke. who, after observing
the packing of pears and early varie-
ties of apples at the East Side place
of j. C. Porter. has left to see the
orchards of Wenatchee and Yakima,
graduated last year at the agricultural
school of the University of California.
He IS graduate of a law school in
South Africa but became interested in
the fruit business, after completing
his legal education, and decided to
specialize in the production of fine
fruits, which will be shipped to Eng
land.
Already" said Mr.. Reinecke, "we
ship vast quantities of peaches, pears
plums and apricots to the great mar
kets of Covent Garden, London. Our
chief varieties of pears are: Bartlett,
Williams Bon Christien. Winter Mel
lis, d'Anjou, Bose, Glout Moroccan and
Comice. We have not begun shipment
of apples on any extensive scale. But
we are planting large tracts to Deli
cious, Rome Beauty, Newtown, O. 'Heni
Mori and Winesaps. We pack our fruit
in much smaller boxes than yours.
Our apples are wrapped and then
placed, from "a to Sc to the container,
in excelsior.
Mr.. Reinecke says the South Afican
apples are just reaching the English
markets about the time the importa-
tions from America are in final con-
sumption.

KLAN RETURNS TO
WHANG DOODLE LAND

Some six weeks ago sharp appear
ing young man dropped without pre-
vious announcement into the midst of
Hood River and began to reveal to
chosen citizens the mysteries of the
Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan.
In instances, so the report went then,
apparently given its impetus by the
visitor. numerous local men accepted
in seriousness the high tenets as pro-
pounded by Wizards, Titans, Kleagles,
Cyclops and like mysterious officials,
who assume more dignity than Roman
senators but clothe themselves, when
in office, with robes typical of a college
BOYS HallOwe' 'en nightshirt parade.
But where are the Hood River Ku
Klux of today? Hood River wonders.
The question is greeted with utter
silence. 1t is we'll known that money
is usually tight in the Apple City until
after harvest returns have begun to
materialize. Men haven't idle spondu-
lix lying around for indulgence in
frills, foibles or furbelows of life. 1t
has been suggested that sufficient $40
initiation fees were not available.
ANYHOW the Klan organizer has left
as mysteriously as he came. The En-
pire remains invisible as far as Hood
River is concerned. Grapevine reports
around town have it that certain good
fellows, at first tempted by the thrill
of possible adventure, on soberer
thought stopped payment on their $40
checks. Others, it is said, who waited
too late to give notice to their banks,
have tried vainly to recover the initia-
tion fees.
Where has the Ku Klux gone? One
citizen said last week:
"Its representative has folded his
tent like the Arab. he has hung his
harp on a willow tree, he has returned
where the whang doodle mourneth for
its first born-ah. Profits in the land of
apples we're nil.

have sponsored the American Legion
ascent of Mount Hood, and the ex-ser-

operation in preparations for next

discussion is heard at present of sug-
gestions for a permanent name for the

to make the event as we'll known as
the Pendleton Round Up, and typical
name is desired. The name, Mount

FEVER TREES YIELD
AS MANY APPLES

DR.. o. w. Morris, head of the de-
partment of horticulture Of Washing
ton State College, said to the growers
of many communities on the occasion
of the third annual growers excursion
in Wenatchee recently, that fewer trees
to the acre yield as large a crop as
more and that filler trees are millstones
hanging around the neck of the valley.
He stated that larger trees are logic
ally necessary, because they must
grow to retain their vigor, and said
that picking costs for taking the fruit
from large trees is very little more
than for smaller trees.
'"The problem of dying trees con-
fronts you now," DR.. Morris said.
Perhaps five or ten trees a year on
your place die. There is no reason to
be fearful that your profits will go
w ith these trees.
''In Wanye county, New York, from
1900 to 1903, inclusive, tests were con-
Quoted on typical orchards. 1t was
found that trees set out AZ to the acre
yielded l86 boxes; trees set out 35 to
40 to the acre yielded 222 boxes, and
trees set out 27 to the acre yielded 229
boxes. The small trees did not net the
producer profit but the big trees did.
Don't be afraid to cut out filters.
know it is hard to screw up courage
to do it. You can always see the
necessity more easily where your
neighbor's orchard is concerned. But
don't delude yourselves. Don't say,
Il can wait one more year. Get them
out, because they are holding back
your orchards production.
81 favor peach filters, because most
growers are not in favor of them any
way, and they don't have to struggle
with themselves to cut the trees.
81 have heard some nonsense of cut
ting out trees when they are 20 years
old, because picking costs are too great
on account of their size. Nothing of
the kind should be done. An orchard
is not old at 20 years. Picking costs
for large trees are little more, but
not enough to make any considerable
difference. Thompson and Folger gath
cred some data years ago on picking
cost for apples in orchards of many
sections.
Doctor Morris pointed out on chart
the data he wished to present. The
following figures show the yield of
apples per acre on good orchards in
various sections and the number of
boxes one person picked day:

do these figures mean anything to
your" Doctor Morris asked. They
mean to me that laborers in the or
chards of the east where the trees are
larger than here, were able to pick as
many boxes a day as in Hood River
and Yakima. In Wenatchee, the figure
is higher, but 593 boxes to the acre is
not an average production. 1t is closer
to 300, and the amount picked day
on an average would not be rs boxes.
