A PACKING SCHOOL

For Apple Growers Is Now Being Advocated by Wash

ington Man.

TO HELP SOLVE PROBLEM

Spokane. Wash., Feb. 8. Homer J.

Bhinn, one of the big apple dealers of Spokane, and Ren Rice, secretary of the National apple show, are advocating a packing school for Spokane county to help solve the problem of the annual shortage in apple packers of experience. Last year capable packers were in preat demand and several big growers had to send to Hood River, Oreg., and elsewhere to get men to help them out, especially during the apple show. The Commercial club of Walla Walla, Wash., with the cooperation of Walla Walla valley growers, has instituted a free packing school for young men which is meeting with great success and it is believed that a similar institution here would be of great benefit. Expert packers make from $3.."0 to $5.50 a day and board. Hoth men and women have been attending the Walla Walla school, wiling is in session each day during the fruit institute now in session there. The school is in charge of N. Y. Tostevin, an expert packer from Hood River and Professor Urierly, instructor in fruit packing at the stale college. Certificates are given 1o liiose attending the school who have attained satisfactory proficiency. "An apple packers' school in Spokane would go a long way toward fcolving the problem of the shortage f good packers in this vicinity," said Mr. Shinn. "We find that we have to educate our own packers. A school "Would be the means of providing young men with a profitable calling as well as being of immense benefit to the fruit growers of Spokane county.-' "The market value of apples depends largely on the packing," said Ir. Rice. "It is an exact science and to the proficiency of our packers is thie to no small degree the supremacy cf the product of this section of Washington in the markets of the country."

of well known local people, questions which surprised everyone. Her rapid fire speech is unceasing and compelling in its attention.

"Gentleman From Mississippi." "A Gentleman from Mississippi," will be seen at the Gennett theater on Wednesday, Feb. Hith, with Burr Mcintosh in the title role. The play is filled with humor of the true American type and the loveable character of the senator is most appealing in the helplessness of the bluff Mississippian, when thrown among the political sharks of the nation's capitol.

PLENTY OF COMEDY

Ten Dark Knights is a strong act which includes both vocal and instrumental music with some good dancing and all presented in attractive manner. Billy Raythe musical Chink plays well on several different instruments. Si and his mule Maud are certainly the laugh producer and they keep it up to the close. Flint, George and Co., also put on an act whicli is comedy from start to finish and especially at the climax, which ends in a scream. Attend the Murray this week and get rid of the blues.

The Wayne County Boys' Corn club will be organized at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, February 19, In the office of the county superintendent of instruction, C W. Jordan. Prof. G. I. Christie of Purdue University, will be present, address those desirous of becoming members of the club and see that it is properly organized. The object of the club is to encourage interest in corr culture as well as other farm labors. The incentive is a week's education at one of the Purdue short courses in corn culture, next winter, to the fifty boys making the best grades next fall. The members of the club will cultivate small tracts of ground and next fall these plots will be graded by expert corn growers. The boys will have to keep a record of every cent spent in money and labor in the cultivation of their corn. The amount of tillage required to produce the result must also be shown to the committee. To Pay Their Expenses. In selecting the boys to attend the Purdue Short Course, an effort will be made to get an equal representation from each township. Their expenses to Purdue, including railroad fare, board and lodging will be borne by local citizens. The committee promoting the organization of the club includes: Joseph Helms, Rudolph G. Leeds, Walter Commons and Charles Jordan. Mr. Jordan mailed letters to all school teachers in the county today, asking them to invite the pupils of their schools to be present at the meeting, February 19. Details relative to the age of the members of the club and the like will be announced later.

Fire Chief Ed Miller and Homar Hammond, president of the board of public works, went to St. Louis this morning for the purpose of purchas

ing a combination hose and chemical wagon for the new west side hose house, now under course of construction. The board has received three bids from different manufacturing concerns relative to the contemplated purchase of a fire wagon. However, the bid submitted by Robinson and company of St. Louis", was the lowest and, in all probability, the wagon will be purchased from that concern, it is said, providing the trip by the fira chief and president of the board of works proves satisfactory. The estimated cost of the hose wagon is $1,500. Buy Three New Horses. The board has purchased three newhorses for the fire department, of August Taube, the North Sixth street liveryman. The price paid for the three animals was $700 Two of th horses will be placed in the new hose house on the west side, while tho third will replace one of the horses of the No. 4 company which is suffering from sore feet. The crippled animal will be removed to Glen Miller park where it will be given a thoiough rest. Work on the new hose house is being delayed at present, owing to weather conditions. However, it is thought that the building will be completed by April 1, the time specified. The lumber has arrived and everything is in readiness for a rapid construction. There has been some dissatisfaction shown over the workmanship on the new building. It is alleged that the foundation Is cracked lu places. The board of works will investigate the matter shortly and in event the assertions are true, will compel the contractor to remedy the defects, it is said.

FOB A SECOND GABY

(American News Service) Los Angeles, Feb. S. It is rumored that agents of J. Pierpont Morgan are negotiating for the purchase of 8,500 acres of land between this city and San Pedro harbor. If consummated, the deal will involve an expenditure of $20,000,000 as a first cost. The land in question is the famous dominguez ranch of 6.000 acres and 2,500 acres of the old Jotham Bixby ranch. The rumor carries with it the assertion that should the deal be successful it is the intention of the principals to build a second Gary, Ind., on the land and to establish huge steel manufacturing plants. It is said the scheme carries with it a project to extend San Pedro harbor basin to the site, which would bring navigable water to within six miles of the city limits of Los Angeles.

iCvpjrlgat, bj tfeaAiitfcor.) Two young people stood before the

altar facing the archbishop of Paris one day in August, 1572. The girl was slender and beautiful. The man was tall, dark, homely, with a great hooked beak of a nose. The young couple were both under 20. All the nobility of France had flocked to Paris to witness their marriage. Yet, now that the two faced the archbishop, there was a most amazing hitch in the ceremonies. The bride refused to make her responses! The bridegroom (Henry, king of the subsidiary province of Navarre) answered "I do" to the archbishop's query as to whether he would take Princess Marguerite de Valois as his wife. But when the same question was put to Marguerite she refused to reply. The spectators whispered excitedly. There was an awkward pause. Then a pale, wild-eyed man, gaudily dressed, stepped forward, caught Marguerite's head roughly between his hands and bent it forward by force into a nod of assent. The man who thus overcame the bride's obstinacy was her brother, the half-crazy Charles IX.. king of France. The foregoing scene Is scarcely a promising opening for a "love" story and needs some explanation. France

for years had been rent by quarrels between two great factions, the Huguenots (Protestants) A Strang and Catholics. The Wedding. djspute was political, rather than religious, and led to a long series of wars. Catherine de Medici, mother of Charles IX. and Marguerite de Valois, hated the Huguenots and made the following plan for their destruction: She arranged a marriage between Henry, king of Navarre (leader of the Huguenots) and her daughter Marguerite. All the Huguenot leaders were invited to Paris for the ceremony. While they were there a wholsesale massacre was to take place on St. Bartholomew's day, and no Huguenot to be left alive. Marguerite was as clever as she was beautiful. She did not relish the idea of being made a pawn in this game of murder. Hence her refusal to make the marriage responses. Yet, when the wedding was actually over, she did all in her power to save her young husband from the fate decreed for him. So successful was she that in spite of Catherine's plots Henry was not killed in the ensuing "Massacre of St. Bartholomew." But thousands of his fellow Huguenots were slaughtered in cold blood and his own life hung by a thread. To Marguerite's tact and the frequent warnings she gave him he owed his safety. That the strangely mated couple grew to care very much for each other, in their own free-and-easy way, is cer

tain. Though it was not the sort of love that endured, yet while it lasted both Henry and Marguerite were the gainers. By saving Henry from death his wife changed the whole history of France. For he was destined to become that country's greatest king. Incidentally, she won for herself the title of "Queen of Navarre" and ruled a gay court of her own in her husband's little kingdom. Henry was exiled from Paris. Marguerite, against her family's wish, insisted on following him to Navarre. There the two planned a series of diplomatic masterstrokes that strengthened the Huguenot cause and made Henry's name famous throughout France. ! Years passed by and the royal cou!ple continued to govern their little Navarraise court and to scheme for greater power. In course of time jHenry was enabled by these plans to .claim and win the throne of France. 1 A Husband's Tnen Jt was tnat ' Ingratitude Marguerite should ( have reaped the .result of her years of plotting. But she did not. Henry, instead of making her queen of France, divorced her. Having saved his life and then having helped him to achieve the highest point of his ambition, she was cast off. f Marguerite does not seem to' have mourned greatly over this ingratitude. She was allowed to keep her title of !"Quaen of Navarre," and received a yearly income on which she maintained a little court of her own in Paris. Her palace became the resort of learning and fashion. She spent so much money in keeping p this private establishment that Henry's miserly soul was sorely vexed. Yet he and she always remained good friends. He constantly came to her for advice and aid in matters of diplomacy. She lived to see Henry's wise rule lift France to the foremost place among Europe's nations. The king, after divorcing Marguerite, married Marie de Medici, an Italian woman, and relative to the Catherine de Medici who had sought his death, i Henry was assassinated while still in the height of his career. Marie de Medici is thought by many historians to have caused his murder. Thus the change of wives profited him little and Marguerite was (somewhat tardily) avenged for his desertion.

PROPRIETARY MEDICINE FRAUDS SHOULD BE EXPOSED. t here have been plenty of them, no doubt, and they have been vigorously condemned so vigorously, that every sort of medicine, the formula of which is privately owned, is condemned and pronounced "unethical" by the Medical Profession. Eckman's Alterative deserves attention, not because it is a "proprietary" but because it really has cured manv eases of Tuberculosis. If it is a fraud it needs exposing badly, because a number of cured Consumptives will need to find some other reason for being well. Henry Clay said he would rather be right than be President. Is it not better for Eckman's Alterative to make cures than to be ethical? Weldon, III.. Feb. 3. 1906. In July, 190G. my physician sent me to Texas, from thre to Colorado. I became worse and was sent home to die. I heard of Eckman's Alterative, began treatment, and was cured. I earnestly recommend Eckman's wonderful cure for Consumption. (Signed affidavit) Arthur Webb. Eckman's Alterative is good for all thro".t and lung troubles, and is on sale at A. G. Luken & Co. and other druggists. Ask for booklet of cured cas-s. or write to Eckman Mfg. Co., Phil;.. Pa.

Old Cordage. Much money is made by the sale of old rope and string. Thousands of dollars are netted by the buying and selling of old fishing nets alone, but this amount is a mere bagatelle to the cash that is tnrned over in the handling of old cordage at the docks. When it Is considered that tho cordage, not Including the fitting, of a large sailing vessel costs from $8,000 to $15,000 and that this cordage most constantly be renewed it will be seen that an enormous trade must be carried on in this particular respect Exchange.
