Monon Officials Attend Apple Show.

Indianapolis, Nov. 10. —Harry R. Kurrie, president of the Monon railroad, and *a party of Monon officials came from Chicago Tuesday to visit the apple show. They reached the city this morning in Mr. Kurrie’s private car and spent several hours visiting the local offices of the company. In the afternoon they went in a body to the apple show. President Kurrie entertained several southern Indiana apple growers at luncheon. “We are here to boost the apple, show and to lend our earnest support to the apple industry in Indiana,” said President Kurrie. “It is a matter of some pride with us, too, that of the first five prizes already awarded at the apple show four have gone to growers who have orchards along the Monon. Naturally we take pride in that situation and, of course, will do all we can to have every apple grower on the Monon a prize winner.” In President Kurrie’s party were

Judge E. C. Field and Fred Zimmerman of Chicago, vice-presidents of the Monon; P. L. McManus, general superintendent, of Lafayette; E. P. Cockrell, general passenger agent, and C. A. Tunev. general freight a vent, Chicago.
