While there can be no OBJ
jectiGn to athletic sports, and
probably no serious objection
to some questionable amuse-

we concientiously consent to
give our endorsement to the

their stead we recommend the
B. Y. P. u, Epworth League,
Y. M. C. A, Christian Endea-

entertainments.
The Editress of the Column
is not responsible for a write
up Of the Sunday Base ball
game played in Texarkana last
and which appeared in
last weeks issue of the Tele-

courage or give publicity to
that seems to be Sun

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

There is much being said about the
young people of today, the pleasures
they enjoy, the clothes they wear and
the money they spend. We say they
are living too fast and refer them
to the customs of forty years ago,
this may all be true, our young
people may be going at too rapid a
gate and drifting into extravagant
and foolish habits, but how about
old men of today, the fathers and
mothers who volunteer their parental
advice to every youngster in our
community, are they following the
practice of forty years ago or do we
occasionally see them stepping on
the gas at forty miles per hour with
a few two bit cigars in the pocket
of a fifty dollar suit, beside his
better half wearing twenty-five
dollar hat, ten dollar shoes and
silk skirt barely covering her knees.
Yes, times have changed, its differ
ent now to what il was forty years
ago.

JONATHAN APPlEs
MOVING SLOW.

The Jonathan apples are moving
to the market rather slowly and at
H,Jrices very unSatisfactory 70 a.
growers, buyers are buying only to
} fill orders, ranging in price from
rs to 80 cents per basket F. 0. B.
cars. A few crops have been so.d
of this variety at $1,000 to $500
per ton. There seems to be pc
culiar condition existing and various
reasons are given by the growers and
shippers for the crop not moving
more rapidly and at better prices.
1t is claimed by the brokers and
buyers that the slow movement of
apples is due to an oyer-produetion,,
while the growers hold out that the
low price and slow movement Is due
to a decline in prices quoted out by
shippers bringing about an unset
tied condition in the price causing
the eastern buyers to set tight until
the price becomes staplized- II is
generally admitted that the market
is not flooded but the eastern ana
middle west buyers are only buying
to fill immediate demands. Just
what the outcome will be is hard to
predict at this time, but 1t doesn't
look good for the grower OF iona /
thans.
A meeting was held Monday even +
ing in the Chamber of Commerce !
rooms between the buyers and ship I.
pers, a few of the growers, and
few of the business men and bankers, ,
Of Payette, Ontario and Weiser to /,
discuss the situation, and if possible
to bring about more stabilized con-
dition of the market.
Col Patch opened the meeting by 1
a very nice little talk on the subject I
which was followed by a number OF
shoot speeches by the business men,
a few of the growers who gave their
views on the subject. and the buyers
eApidihiuS lHS SlludtiOu iiOhh NAeAN
point of view. The meeting was in
the emost.-friendIy spirit snk--s--d-n
journed without any definite action .
Or accomplishing anything for which
it was called.
The only encouraging feature of
he meeting was the statement made
by one of the prominent buyers who,
aid, in his opinion the price OF apples
would advance within the next few
weeks.
To say the least, it is certainly
to the apple growers, ]
ret we believe to some extent the
growers have not acted wisely in
lolding out for perhaps little high
r price than was justified under the {
onditions that exist this year. Had '
hey taken in consideration the enor-
nous yield and set their price at
title lower figure the crop might t
ave moved more readily and per- !
APPS at better price. {
The only solution to the problem i
-hich cannot be applied in all cases il
MS year, is for the growers to pre- t
are storage and not be compelled to u
orce their crop on the market which u
lvariably brings down the price. n
