SAYS INDIANA WILL BE FIRST IN APPLE PRODUCING STATES (Continued From Page Eight)
a market for his produce quickly and easily reached. Spraying Is Necessary. "There are four cardinal points which must be followed before Indiana can become a foremost state in this Industry. First, unwavering warfare against insects by spraying; second, elimination of Jmperefct specimens; third, proper distribution of fruit; and fourth, proper presentation of apples to market In packing, crating and sending fruit in neat packages. "The Indiana Apple Show is a great factor in the Industry in this state. According to the management which is bending every effort to make the show this year more successful than in previous years, 67 per' cent of the normal crop of apples will be harvested this year. This is an unusually good crop." On Growing Grapes. Mr. Pugsley, a prominent grape grower of Michigan, and a member of the Horticulture society of that state, followed Mr. Dunham and in speaking of the grap industry said in part: "It would seem to me that the last , thing Indiana farmers would think of would be the growing of grapes considering the farms I noticed as I came through from Michigan. I saw so many acres of corn, wheat and other crops that your state seems fitted only for the production of those. In comparing Michigan soil with Indiana soil, I cannot say whether the latter is adapted to the growth of grapes but in Michigan it is peculiarly so. The grape growing industry in that state is greater than that of others. There are three townships in the county in which I live that brings In a million dollars annually from the sale of grapes. That county produces, mostly, Concord grapes because we find it the best commercial grape. "There is a six-mile strip around the earth which covers the grape vineyard belt. I do not mean by that, that grapes cannot and are not raised outside of that strip, but difficulty has been met where grapes have been grown outside of the boundaries of that strip. "For the growing of grapes the location of a good elevation is primarily needed. The location does not need to be high above sea level but must be higher in proportion to the surrounding land. A good fertile soil is necessary and I advise the beginner to buy the best grape vines obtainable to get the best results. 'On time' is the maxim which each grape grower must follow. A couple of rows of potatoes can be planted which will pay for the vnes you buy." Predicts Big Yield. County Agent Cobb, who was introduced, detained the plans he has for the organization of farmers and predicted an enormous wheat yield this year. In part he said: "A series of meetings will be held soon at different places in the county for the purpose of a general discussion of the condition of the crops in Wayne county. It is intended to help the farmer by having suggestions and Ideas as to agriculture exchanged. Prof. Christie, of Purdue university, will send assistants here to talk. Wheat Crop Important. "The wheat crop is very important and there are prospects of a great yield for Wayne county. It is hoped to make a Btate record this year for this county. On Mr. Rich's farm there are 63 bushels of wheat to 16 acres. A number of farmers will meet at my office in the near future and will swear to the facts of Wayne county's wheat yield before a notary public in order that the record can be established beyond doubt. "The meetings I rerer to will be held in various places in the county and though it will not be possible to hold one in each township, it is hoped to draw the farmers from every community in the county. Each farm will be made an experimental station. It's the spirit and friendly attitude which Is put into these meetings that will result In better agricultural conditions In this county." Barnard Gives Talk. ; Dr. H. . E. ; Barnard, state food and drug commissioner of Indianapolis, and C. M. Dunn, landscape architect, of Indianapolis, were the speakers last night at the Centerville meeting. Dr. Barnard spoke on the "Horticulturists and Weights and Measures Law." In detail he explained the purpose of the law and outlined what was necessary to comply with It. Under this law It is hoped to discontinue the practice of giving short weight, whether intentional or unintentional. He explained that there are a great many cases where customers are given short weight through carelessness and neglect. . Dr. Barnard declared that butter, lard, meats, potatoes and other foods must be weighed and marked before sold. Every housekeeper should have a pair of scales and dry and liquid measures, he said. Measure Inspector. Before closing the commissioner advocated the employment of a weight and measure inspector for tne county. He said that the inspector would earn his annual salary in his first month of his employment. Beautifying Grounds. Mr. Dunn in speaking on "Beautifying Home Grounds," declared thnt simplicity is the keynote of planting shrubs and beautifying one's nome. "Fifty per cent of the work," he said, "lays In cleaning the premises and removing all rubbish and debris from the grounds. In planting flowers native shrubs should be selected and should be so planted that some will always be in bloom through the spring and summar. The purpose of trees
Chautauqua Notes
Piano Used Constantly. The Starr Piano company's rest tent, which has been established near the headquarters tent, is proving very popular with the young people who attend. The tent is equipped with a piano and a number of comfortable wicker chairs and at almost any time in the day crowd of girls may be found in the tent, grouped about the piano and singing popular songs. Well Organized Force. The police force at the grounds are preserving excellent order and report the campers to be quiet and law abiding. No report of refusal to obey an officer has as yet been heard of. Ate Ten Ears of Corn. There is a story going the rounds of the camp, circulated mainly by the Palladium carriers, that one boy at the "Pal" camp ate the whole "sum total of nine ears of corn yesterday evening when the cook served "roasting ears" to the hungry boys. The boys are trying to keep the news from the cook at least until the camp is over and they no longer need his services in an official capacity, for they fear that the shock would be more than he could sustain and they would have to hunt a new cook. Knows How to Preside. "Sunshine" Hawks knows how to preside on the platform. He doesn't introduce the speakers and then run away as If ho were afraid of the gaze of the public. He sits in his big arm chair on a particularly soft red cushion, and gently fans himself with an immense palm leaf fan; the very pic-
i ture of solid comfort. His very pres
ence on the platform adds to the attraction of the entertainment.

Potato Grower Talks. J. J. Milhous, of Valley Mills, Ind., opened the program today by a talk on "Potato Growing," explaining the care which must be given potatoes, the soil necessary for substantial growth and the method under which they must be dug. A general discussion followed his remarks. "Fruits," Blue's Subject. "Small Fruits" was the subject of a talk given by A. M. Blue, of Indianapolis. Mr. Blue is interested in the Fairview Fruit Farm and is an experienced fruit grower. His remarks were given much attention by his audience. He was followed by A. M. Fox, of Chicago, HI., who spoke on "The Marketing of Fruits." This phase of the fruit industry was interesting to local farmers and Mr. Fox gave many suggestions which, if followed, would greatly benefit the farmer, financially. Ben Hite, of Indianapolis, led the discussion which was made at the conclusion of Mr. Fox's speech.
Improvement bonds valued at $520, including interest for two months, were purchased today by City Controller McMahan from the money of the light plant sinking fund. The total amount invested from the sinking fund in improvement bonds paying 5 per cent is $lS,Xf7.S5, while there is a balance in the bank of $5,0itJ.9r. which is drawing only two per cent. There were thirty improvement bonds in the lot purchased by the controller. A few of these are valued ai $::G.6.j, but most of them were for fcmall amounts of $s or $10. They run for ten years in case of new improvements, while some have already been running for several years. The balance of the sinking fund in the bank will be invested soon, according to Controller McMahan, who knows whore he can secure several thousand dollars' worth. The city is gaining 3 per cents on the dollar through the investments. With the present proportion of the light plant sinking fund, the gain amounts to almost $f00, and in two years the gain annually will be $1,000.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE IS TO BE TAUGHT
County Superintendent Williams and five township trustees completed arrangements this morning whereby domestic science shall be taught in the schools of Fountain City, Greensfork Williamsburg, Whitewater and Webster. Miss Daly, of Lynn, Ind., will be appointed to do the teaching and will spend one day each week in each o'f the schools. This is the initial movement of the trustees where the schools are located to start the vocational work which must necessarily be instituted in accordance with the vocational law recently enacted. The schools are all so arranged that no aditlons will have to be built. Practically all the work will be taught from text books and there will be very little practical work in the school houses the first year. The object of the officials is to instruct the pupils of the schools in as many of the vocational and domestic science courses as possible without putting the townships and the county to too great an expense. Eventually the schools will be supplied with cooking and sewing departments and provided with ground on which experiments can be performed along agricultural lines. It is believ-
ed that Miss Daly is the most practi
cal teacher who could be retained for the work. She has had considerable experience as a teacher and is well versed along lines pertaining to domestic science work.
Six more pocketbooks were added today by the police to the two which they are now holding for Peter Voss. alias George Bournaski, who was sentenced to pay $5 fine and serve a tenday' jail sentence Tuesday for the theft of a pocketbook belonging to Dr. Sarah J. Morrow, of North Seventh street. Voss' effects are characterized by the police as being a "small men's outfitting establishment. He has two large valises, containing several dozen shorts of all sizes, few of which have been worn, besides socks, collars, ties and other furnishings, which the police believe have been stolen. The police believe Voss or Bournaski is a kleptomaniac or a traveling thief who picks up whatever he can steal and leaves for another city. The six pocketbooks were found last night among his effects. His picture will be taken and placed in the rogues' gallery.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug 21 Maury
I. Diggs, state architect at 2n and now but 27 years of age. convicted on a charge of violating the Mann white slave act in transporting Marsha Warrington from one state to another for immoral purposes, will be sentenced September 2. His attorneys announced today that they will appeal the case. It was the unanimous opinion of the twelve jurors before whom he was tried that he was guilty on four of the six counts in the indictment. I'nder the law the maximum penalty is five years in the penitentiary a $5,000 ftne or both, on each count. Next Tuesday, F. Drew Caminettl. son of United States Commissioner of Immigration Caminettl. will go on trial in the same court on the same charge. He eloped with Lola Norrls to Reno, Nev. Diggs can be sent to the penitentiary for twenty years on the four counts. An indictment still stands against him and against Attorney Harris ,of Sacramento, for attempted subornation of perjury. Last night Diggs kept out of the Alameda county jail by filing a bond of ?2",000 $5,000 on each of the four counts. His old father and his father's partner and cousin, Marshall Diggs, the widely known Democratic leader, were sureties. While Diggs was facing conviction, his little daughter, Evelyn, slept peacefully in the court room, in which she had prattled through the day. His young wife bit her lip and tried to look brave. His father and mother bowed their heads and seemed to age in their seats as the minutes of the jury's deliberation dragged. On Four Courts. The four counts on which Diggs was found guilty regarded the purchase of the tickets for tUe flight from Sacramento to Reno and the carrying off of the two girls. The first count alleged that he assisted and aided in transporting Marsha Warrington from Sacramento to become his mistress. The second count accused him of assisting in transporting Lola Norris to Reno to be the mistress of F. Drew Caminettl. The third count alleged that he pur chased a ticket for Marsha Warrington and the fourth that he purchased a ticket for Lola Norris. On the other two counts there was a long wrangle and finally disagreement. These were: That Dfggs Induced, persuaded and advised Marsha Warrington to go with him to Reno for immoral purposes, and that he induced, persuaded and advised Lola Norris to go to Reno with F. Drew Caminettl for immoral purposes. While the women of the Diggs and Caminettl families sat as if stunned, arrangements were made for bail bonds. Some said it was the story of Diggs himself on the stand that hurt his case.

As most PIANO Purchasers buv only one
m mr instrument in a life time, it stands them in hands to se
lect carefully for the future. The quality of the tone is the first consideration. This of course, is a matter each individual must judge for self. The next item is the material and construction. A very cheap piano may be "fixed" for the time being, to give a very fair quality of tone, but if it is not constructed of material of superior quality, and by skilled mechanics, who are proficient in their line of work, you will soon find that you have something you did not aim to buy. We handle a number of different makes of High Grade instruments, and can conscientiously recommend them to you, and they are guaranteed to give you satisfaction in the future as well as at present. Come in and see the Iyers and Pond, the McConaha, the Haddroff, the Kimball, the Cable-Nelson, the Wellington and other makes. We can please you with the piano as well as with the price.
