pared with last year. A slight i'm
provement in trading has been noted
recently. Wealthys continue to be
the principal variety moving at this
time; but Greetings have started,
and within a short time will assume
an important position. In western
New York, Wealthys of standard
grade and size ranged $1.1O to $1.20
per bushel and a few sales of Green
ings were noted at $125. A good ex-
port demand for apples was reported
in the nd-Shenandoah dis
trict, but domestic trading contin-
uel slow. Jonathans and Grimes
ranged from 81 to $3.50 a barrell
around Martinsburg. City apple mar
kets were rather dull in mid-Septem-
Der with supplies moderate to fair
ly liberal. Fall varieties from va
rious eastern sources brought 81 to
$1.75 a bushel, jobbing sales. Ship
ments of apples from the eastern
portion of the United States averaged
near ITS cars daily soon after the
middle of September.
The condition of the late cabbage
crop declined approximately 16
points during August, but combined
production of the domestic and DAN
ish types is still expected to be larg-
er than last year. The September 1
forecast of production of cabbage for
kraut purposes shows an increase Of
per cent over that of 1929. Domes-
tic type cabbage has been meeting
slow demand in western New York
and prices paid to the growers have
shown considerable fiuctuation. A
general range of 81 to $S per ton
cash was paid to growers in western
New York during the second week of
New York cabbage was
quoted at wide range of IL to 18
dollars per ton in the leading east
ern city markets.

OUTDOOR ROMANCE
GREAT SPECTACLE

Spectacle, rousing action, tense
suspense, compelling romance, all
combine to make "The Light of
Western Stars" with Richard Arlen,
great entertainment. Like "The Vir-
ginian," it is a master outdoor pic
ture, filmed on authentic locations
with every detail true to the historic
background on which its characters
act. "The Light of Western Stars"
will show at the New Plaza Theatre,
start today for two days.
This picture is the first Zane Grey
story to be filmed with dialog. In it,
the herman heroes and danger-defy-
ing women of the West stey from
the pages of the famous novel, act
their gripping drama, and talk.
Imagine the great Zane Grey pic
lures, "The Wanderer of the Waste
land" and others, with the true-to-
life characters speaking the Zane
Grey lines. "The Light of Western
Stars" is the gripping story of the
West in which the last desperate
stand of banded outlawry on the
American frontier is authentically
pictured.
Two of the lovers of "The Virgin
ian," Arlen and Mary Brian, have the
leading roles. Arlen, staggering
cowboy, Tescues Mary Brian from
Fred Kohler, an unscrupulous bad
man, and wins her from Regis
Toomey, her Eastern lover. Harry
Green contributes his inimitable
comedy to the picture, and, In boots
and saddle, he is funnier than he
was even in "Kibitzer."
Otto Brewer, who made thrillingly
great moving pictures of several
other Zane Grey stories, outdoes
himself in this perturbation. He has
captured the real desperate, devil
may-care spirit of the West in the
intimacies of his people and the
spectacle of his sweeping scenes.

AND YOUR
MONEY
The Opportunity For Capital En-.
plOyment
By John P. Mullen

by john +. Mullen
The individual with limited capital
can scarcely complain today of a
want of safe and profitable employ
ment opportunities for his funds.
The person of average means may
accumulate and employ his surplus
in a savings account and in building
and loan shares. To create an estate
he may take advantage of the pro-
lection offered through a great va
riety of insurance contracts and the
safety afforded by such mediums of
saving and investment as the postal
Savings System, the Treasury Saw
ings Certificates, and the savings
plans which his employer may make
available.
Besides these simple mediums of
capital employment there are count
less opportunities in the realm 0f
securities for the person with saved
dollars. During 1929, the publicly
offered issues of new stocks, bonds
and notes of domestic and foreign
corporations and governments total
ed more than $11 100000. exclu-
sive of refunding issues which eX-
ceeded 81 1,409, 100000. Six years ago
the total of all publicly-offered is
sues was less than $5,600,00O,0OO.
These figures do not include the
stocks and bonds offered privately
or the thousands of mortgages, small
and large, that are sold yearly to in
vestors in private transactions.
There was a time when the man
with less than $1,000 could not buy
bond. Today, however, because
the world of finance has discovered
the Importance of the man of small
means, we have baby bonds" and
partial payment plans. And, if these
things were not opportunity enough,
we have custOmer-ownership and
employee ownership movements,
which have made it possible for the
worker and the customer to share in
profits of American industry through
preferred and common stock pur-
chases. Further, any stock listed on
the reliable exchanges of the country
can be purchased in units of one
share or more through what is
known as an odd-lot broker.
In the face of these opportunities
to put money to work in honest en-
ployment, there is little excuse to-
day for idle" money, or for its
waste in fake, so-called securities or
bucket-shop frauds. All that an in
dividual with a surplus, no matter
how large or how small, need do is
to step into bank, building and
loan association office, into post
office, an insurance company or a
bond or stock house to learn how
that surplus may be employed pro-
ductively. And all that he needs to
know to put his saved dollars to
work surely is that the institution
which offers him an opportunity to
invest is honest, conservative and
reliable.

American Legion Notes
SUSSEX POST NO. 8
Dear Charlie:

Dear Charlie:
There is one thing that has puz-
zled me for some time. In our Post
meetings we call each other Com
rade, now what do they call them
selves in the Auxiliary? If you an
swer that one I'll ask you another.
1t was very kind of the George
town Rotary Club to offer the as
sistance of their Community Service
Committee to help put over our
Armistice Day program. With Clark
Hill, Frank Jones and John Carey
we ought to put over a big time. The
Auxiliary agreed to do their share.
What would we do without them
Charlie?
l understand it is soon time for
election of officers. What we want
to get is some one who has record
behind him as long as a boa con-
strictor. Well we have until Novem
ber but keep your ewes open and
your ears to the ground.
l understand Comrade Norman
Purnell was looking for some one
the other day and when he couldn't
find him he told you he didn't leave
his address. Well what do you make
of that?
They tell me down here that Gard
ner Calhoun would like to go fish
ing. Why don't you take him Char
lie or were you in the Swedish navy?
Well 1 must go to DR.. Cannon and
I suppose when get there

GIVE PIGEONS RATION
OF WHOLE GRAINS

Feeding pigeons is entirely diff
ferent from feeding other poultry.
Give pigeons a ration of whole grains
and a constant supply of fresh water
and grit, but no mash or green feed,
say poultry specialists of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. A good
grain mixture is parts, by weight,
of small, whole corn, parts each of
kafir and field or Canada peas, and 1
part each of hard red wheat and
millet or hempseed. Include hemp
seed in the molting period. In warm
weather, reduce the proportion of
corn in the ration. Pigeons feed
their young on pigeon milk" pro-
duced in the crops of both the par
ent birds.

SELL EGGS ON QUALITY BASIS

If you sell eggs to local dealers,
insist on selling them on a quality
basis, says the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. Under quality basis,
the buyer does not pay for eggs that
are unwholesome and unfit for food;
and he should pay differential,
based on quality, for the good eggs.
This system offers an incentive to
produce good eggs. Some states reg
ulating egg buying require purchas-
ing on the loss-off basis.

STORING SOYBEANS

Be careful in curing and storing
soybeans, as they spoil easily, says
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Watch the beans after threshing to
prevent heating and molding. If they
are to be used for seed, or if they
are immature or contain high per-
centage of damaged beans and for
eign material, let them dry out thor
oughly by spreading them on floor
Immediately after threshing and
turning them over from time to time
before putting them in sacks or
bins. The storeroom should be dry.
There should be a free circulation of
air around the sacks-cross piling
them will accomplish this.

It chanced upon a winters night,
safesheltered from the weather,
The board was spread for only one,
yet four men dineu together.
There sat the man meant to be, in
glory spured and booted,
And close beside him to the right,
the man I am reputed.
The man I think myself to be, seat

Hard by the man 1 really am, who
to hold his own was trying.
And though beneath one roof we
met
None called his fellow brother;
No sign of recognition passed
They knew not one another.
