The arrival of the time for the canning of pickles and other varieties of sour mixtures naturally evolves the question: "Are there plenty of pickles, onions, tomatoes, mangoes, cauliflower, etc.?" For these articles are all necessary for the mixed pickles which are so popular with so many people. A forecast of the local pickle crop would not be overly enthusiastic although at the present there is a chance for a fair crop at least. The

dry weather just experienced is very bad for the pickle but since the recent moisture there Is more hope than ev er that the thrifty housewife will have an abundant supply of pickles for summer canning. Local gardeners do not seem to be paying as much attention as formerly to raising the pickle and country people produce in most cases just enough for their own use. The cucumber is very hard to raise and when the vine is young It requires the almost constant attention of the grower to see that the bugs do not destroy the vine In Its infancy. It Is often necessary to replant for it let alone for only a short time the bugs will make short work of the tender vine. But when the vine once gets a good start it grows rapidly and bears in almost any kind of soil. When the vine is bearing nicely the cucumbers must be picked every day and In seasons when there is all the rain that is needed a big crop is always the result. This year not a great many pickles have been seen on the local market and although the time is not past for canning it is here and should be done before long. The tomato plant has been doing good work this year and there have already been large quantities of tomatoes brought to the local market by growers near the city. If anything this summer the tomato made its appearance on the market a little earlier than formerly but the quality is just as good and the vegetable as well shaped as in "previous years. This crop is one of the most important in the vegetable line and next to the potato the tomato is valued as a food by most people. Canning is going on at the present and will continue for at least three weeks yet for the plant bears until late In the summer. : Gardeners generally make two plantings, one for the early market, and the other for the late marketing and canning.

Chicago, Aug. 22. An agreoment has been reached between Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock and other officials of the Republican, National committee for a geographical division of the responsibilities of the campaign. The states east of the Indiana line and east and south of the Ohio and

Missouri river will be looked after by the New York leaders. All states west will fall to the care of the Chicago headquarters. Mr. Hitchcock will divide his time between the two headquarters and from time to time will visit different parts of the country. The new division fixes the status of Ohio which has been in the east some years and in the west during other years. Arthur I. Vorys and State Chairman Williams are directing the campaign in that state, but they will call on New York headquarters for financial aid, speakers and literature. Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri were under Chicago four years ago, but now the campaign in those states will be directed from New York. Victor Rosewater, publisher of the Omaha Bee, member of the national committee, and also a member of the executive committee today was named as director of the western literary bureau, and will have his office at the Chicago headquarters.

The announcement follows a visit of Charles M. Schwab and the directors of the Bethlehem Steel Co., to Wilmington. The new plant will be the largest of Its kind in the country and work on Its construction will be begun at once. COUNTERFEITER BUSY Gang at Dayton Made $5 Gold Pieces From Mickels. HARD TO DETECT FRAUD. Dayton, O., Aug. 22. For some time the police have been working hard to find a gang that has been passing spurious coin on local people. Several coins, so burnished as to make them appear to be five dollar gold pieces, have turned up. They are nothing but the old five-cent piece, which was almost a counterpart for the five-dollar gold piece. In size, gold plated. The old nickel did not have the word "cents" on the obverse, as the current issue has, and the counterfeiters began thirty years ago to plate them and mill the edges. They were accepted by persons not familiar with coinage, but as soon as an expert got one in his hand he would know it. The coinage dies were changed, so that the word "cents" appeared, and the spurious coins disappeared. Some old counterfeiter has revived it, evidently. CAN NOT STOP FLOW Burning Oil Has Destroyed Considerable Property Of High Value. MUD IS BEING PUMPED. Tamico, Mexico, Aug. 22. An effort is being made to stop the flow of burning oil that is pouring from the miniature volcano in the San Geronimo field by pumping enormous quantities of mud and sand Into the crater, but the fire still burns as fiercely as ever. The flames mount more than 1,500 feet Into the heavens. Since the fire started, July 4, more than 5.000,barrels of oil, valued at $1 a barrel, have been burned. RAILROAD BUSINESS. Norfolk. Aug. 22.

STAPLE FRUIT TO BE PLENTIFUL Banner Year for Apple Crop in Reliable Counties of New York. MORE FRUIT TO BE EATEN. ADVANCED PRICES OF MEATS AND PROVISIONS WILL MAKE FRUIT RELIED UPON BY MANY PERSONS. It is good news no doubt, to lovers of that staple fruit, the apple, that this year promises to be a banner one in its production. New York shippers estimate that- the present season will furnish the largest supply at the lowest prices that the public has seen in several years. Strangely enough, the producer will not share in the general happiness of the announcement, for in spite of the larger supply of this national favorite fruit, it is claimed, he will not profit by it. This is explained by a man quoted by the New York Evening Post, who says that hard times tend to raise the price of meats and vegetables, but to decrease the price of fruits. When a man's income Is cut or his employment fails entirely he will buy only. the so-called necessities and let luxuries alone. It may be argued that for his own good the man short of cash might better let meat alone and buy fruit, particularly in warm weather, but the fact appears to be that he does not do so. So it comes about that in this year of slow industrial recovery and of a large apple supply, prices are low, at least in the east, and what the consumer gains the producer loses. In spite of the large territory coming under cultivation each year and the larger number of people to buy them, America produces less than half as many apples annually now as she did a decade ago. The American Agriculturist says that the crop for the years 1894-5-6 averaged 62.000.000 bushels of apples; that for 1905-6-7 averaged but 28,000,000. New York city alone' used 25,000 barrels a week in the fall and an average of 20,080 a week for the rest of the year.

NEW KIND OF CONTEST Obed, Illinois, Residents, Trying to Exterminate Rats. ICE CREAM SUPPER PRIZE. Mattoon, 111., August 22. Pie-eating, quail-eating, fishing and rabbit killing contests are not uncommon, but the people of Obed, near Mattoon, 111., are now in the throes of a new kind of contest that is engrossing the attention of the inhabitants of the little town. The contest has for its object the extermination of rats, and every man, boy and woman is busy with gun, poison or trap. "The rats at Obed became so numerous recently," says a citizen of that place, "that they threatened to drive the people from their homes. It was therefore decided to choose up and hold a rat-killing contest. Ed Cole was named captain of one team and John Stump watched after the Interests of the other faction. To make the fight interesting, it was decided that the side killing the least number of rats should treat the winning team with an ice cream supper and a band concert. The race will end in a few days. Honors are now about even and the finish is expected to be exciting." ITINERARY OF FLEET. American Vessels Wilt Visit Strange World Ports. Washington, Aug. 22.

ALL WHITE DANCE IS LATEST CRAZE Novel Form of Entertainment Finds General Favor in Staid London. EFFECT IS VERY PRETTY. ALL APPOINTMENTS MUST BE IN WHITE AND FLOWERS AND SOUVENIRS MUST CORRESPOND IN COLOR. London, August 22. "All-white" dances are the latest original means of entertaining guests. The pretty idea was originated by the Comtesse de Boisgal in Taris, and the novel form of entertainment has found favor in London. The ladies of the party are requested to wear white gowns and opera cloaks. Several hostesses have asked their men guests to appear in whHe dress. The keenest competition is necessary among the lady guests, as in some cases a prize is offered for the most elaborate snowy gown. One debutante who won a prize wore a magnificent frock of white tulle embroidered with silver spiders' webs. The spiders were fashioned in pearls, while the unwary flies were made of silver sequins with crystal wings. The most elaborate evening' cloaks are a feature of the white balls. They can be made of brocade, silk or chiffon, but they must be in the same spot less white. A beautiful model, suitable for a white ball, was made of cloth of silver, with a deep collar of Duchess point lace, and lined with hundreds of tiny frills of white accordion-pleated chiffon. Another handsome design was made of white gauze, on which enormous lilies were embroideredin opal sequins. The hostess who arranges a white ball "to perfection wreaths her ballroom with white blossoms. The supper table must be massed with white roses, the candles masked with silver gauze shades, and even the constituents of the menu must be white. Keeper Hi, boy! You can't catch fish here without a permit. Boy Well. I'm getting on well eauh with, a worm London Mall.

GREATEST TELESCOPE Model of Instrument to Surpass All Others Is Now Being Built. BASIN OF MERCURY USED. New York, August 22. At the home of Professor Wood, of Johns Hopkins University, at Hampden. L.

Meat is heat-producing. Eat little of it in summer little of any heavy food. Most people eat too much to keep cool. These are the days for Mapl-FIalie and fruit.

Ask your doctor. He will tell you that whole wheat is the ideal food for summer, if the wheat is made digestible. It gives one the maximum food value, while creating the minimum heat Let it serve at least once a day for the whole meaL , But you must have wheat that's digestible, else you don't get enough food. And the part that doesn't digest is injurious. That's why we steam-cook our TKbeat for six hours. Why we cure it. Mapl The Food with

And we want them to ask you to get it again after you serve it once. So we make it enticing. Get one package to-day. Then stop reading oar ads.

Is now being mrd ready by the builders of the seveuty-four-foot Yerkes InstrumenL It has a new type of reflector, a basin of mer-: cury, which is to be rotated by an electric motor. The centrifugal action forms the surface of the mercury Into a concave paraboloid, which Is said to have a better reflecting surface than that of any concave silvered mirror. There is said to be practically no limit to the size of a telescope thus constructed, and it is believed that In . a few years what are now secrets of the starry spaces will, by means of, the new instrument, be laid bare to scientists as never before. . i Then we flake each berry so thin that the whole heat of our ovens can reach every atom.
