STORING WINTER APPLES Apples cannot be expected to hold their plump juicy texture and avoid rotting if they are not properly stored. Apples for winter use should jiever be allowed to lay in piles m the orchard -ffter picking, says C. L. Burkholder. Horticultural Extension Staff. Purdue University. This treatment quickly ripens them and makes it impossible to hold them long after they are placed in the cellar. As soon as a few- perfect apples of a variety begin to drop and the fruit on the tree pulls off. without breaking the stem, they are-ready to pick. Avoid | bruising as a bruise means a sot- ■ ten spot regardless of how the; apple is cared for later on. As-; ter picking let the baskets stand in an open shed or porch over) night and carry into the cellad the iirst thing in the morning Open all doors and windows of the cellar the previous night and shut the cellar up tight as soon as the fruit has been carried in. Barrels or boxes make good storage containers. \ Never lay the apples on a shelf where they are exposed to the air of the cellar. | Cover the tops of the barrels ori boxes with beards or an old' piece of carpet. This prevents j withering. A few bushels f the choicest fruit for late winter u.-e can be wrapped in squares of newspaper before putting in the j barrel. One rotten apple can't contaminate the whole package when handled in that manner. If the night temperature is warm keep all doors and windows tightly closed, day and night. As soon as a cool night temperature prevails open all doors and windows before going to bed and shut the first thing in the morning. In other words, hold the cellar temperature. as low as possible at all tirhes. If there is a furnace in the cellar remove a part of the apples as soon as it is started, place them in old barrels with burlap tacked over the tops. Lay these barrels on their sides, end to end. in the garden and cover with a heavy layer of straw and a layer of dirt When cold weather sets in increase the dirt cover. By following these suggestions late varieties of apples can be held for home use during the entire winter. o SEVERE WINTER PREDICTED The weather-wise are predicting that the Winter of 1924-25 will be the most severe we have experienced for many years past, that it will set in early and last long. And as usual, the goose bone, musk rat fur. tree bark, etc., are cited as substantiating evidence. An Eastern weather shark has it figured out this coming winter will be one of extreme severity; and that the winter following will rival that of 1816. " The Government Weather Bureau, while not giving sanction to such long range prognostications, frankly admits that the coming winter may fully verify the forecasts of these unpleasant prophets. TO BUILD PYTHIAN HOME At the meeting of the grand lodge K. of P. in Indianapolis last week the plans for the building of a home for aged members to cost $500,000 were approved. Each member of the carder is expected to contribute his salary to the fund on Feb. 19, 1925.* the anniversary of the founding of the Knights, of Pythias. 4 — —o High Blood Pressure \ is dangerous.

THE GAMBLING SPIRIT Judge George Anderson, of the United States Circuit Court in Boston, recently asserted that he did not believe the average small investor would ever learn to guard himself against the, fake stock swindler. People live by example. Here 1 and there, now and then, some one makes a tremendous profit' on some speculation, be it oil, i steel, wind, water, property or paper, and this acts as an intent- 1 ive—a “come on”—for ignorant | would-be speculators. It is safe' to say that a very large percent-! age of those who invest in var-! icus industrial stocks are fully aware of the fact that statistics for fifty years shew only one chance in twenty of winning out. But they will take that chance; It's the ganfbling spirit -the same spirit that induces the sure-thing speculator to play the shell game, which is only two chances against him. It is probably true, also, that these speculators in fake stocks do not lose more than speculators in so-called legitimate promotion stocks, that are mortgaged. bonded, juggled and finally “cleaned up” in a bankruptcy sale. But few business men.have ■-scaped this loss—and the number of them multiplies like rabbits. The difficulty cf deciding between these two evils, or the difficulty of drawing a line that Hvill not involve the exchange the cu b. stands in the way 'of either state or Federal protective legislation. The bucket shop has its protection and the fake industrial stock ptometer has his—but the investor —well. Congress takes the position that it cannot legislate brains where there is no soil. Apd that seems to be what Judge Anderson means. The selfish desire to get something for nothing is the chief contributing factor, and it often affects the promoter as well as the speculator. The fact remains that law cannot make ds'h of one and fowl of another. Neither can the evil be regulated by the “successful” dealer.

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAU - - -

THE 20TH AMENDMENT In 1916 and again in 1919. Congress, in obedience to a nation wide demand, enacted federal laws to abolish child labor. These acts were passed in recognition of the fact that the demand for the eradication of this evil was being met all too slowly I-v individual states, and because there was no national uniformity. Both of these measures were held to be an interference with the rights of the individual states and were declared unconstitutional. The present proposal is not legislative in character. It merely gives to Congress the constitutional right to make legislative record of the opin’on of the American people on this question. It empowers Congress to ! do. on a nationally uniform basis, what even the opponents of the measure agree must be done—th.a* is. to regulate child labor. State action on this question, particularly in the states where child labor is most prevalent, has gone forward very slowly. In fact' there has been an increase in child labor during the past four years. Tn a few instances it may develop temporary hardships, just as the reduction cf working hours did in the steel mills, but there is no reasonable excuse in this great Christian nation for any condition that compels the employment of children in factories, mills or mines. ! ■ o Among those from here who attended the play, “The Cat and the Canary,” at the Jefferson theatre in Goshen on Tuesday evening were: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Klink.

O Political changes have never affected business half so much as business has affected political changes. Recently a number of Wall Street men discussed the question whether the traditional “election scare’’ had arrive*Por not. The peculiar fact about the discussion was that no agreement seemed to exist as to whether the financial community was actually uneasy or not. The most disturbing thing that mav happen will be throwing the election into the House of Congress —but most men are of the opinion that even that will not materially disturb business. o See the big theatre masquer- " ade at Oakland Theatre, Thursday evening.
