OCTOBER 1(, 1917 1 would rather be beaten in the right than succeed in the wrong.— GARFIELD. JUDGE KI'NKEL'B DECISION NO matter what may be tho lean ings of the men who read the decision of President Judge George Kunkel in the mandamus proceeding to compel the Auditor General to recognize certain appoint ees of the Governor, they .may be assured that It is the law. There have been lew causes growing out of a political condition in Pennsylvania | better argued than that which was determined yesterday by the distin guished Dauphin jurist, and those who recall tho presentation of the case by Deputy Attorney General Keller will note that the decision is in line with his contentions. The ac tion attracted attention of lawyers and officials all over Pennsylvania and the newspapers, recalling the controversy which began long before the fateful day when the Senate re jected eight of the Governor's ap pointments, gave much space to the hearing. In spite of all that was Injected into the matter through political amimus, ingenious pleadings, volu minous citation and harking back to the constitutional debates, the nub of the case was whether the selec tions of July !) could be classed as "recess appointments." Judge Kunlcel fofind that they were and the right of the Governor to appoint being conceded, the case ended. That was tho law on the subject. Auditor General Snyder may de cide to appeal the case or he may invoke the law by quo warranto. Whether the case is prolonged by appeal or the controversy ends by acceptance of the finding of the court, whether the propriety of the action of the Governor can be ques tioned, whether the Auditor General took a mistaken stand or whether as a former member of the Senate he felt the affront offered to it, the fact remains that Judge Kunkel has laid down the law. And that, uf<fer all, is what tho public wants. ENCOURAGING GERMAN REVOLT WAITING for Germany to revolt is worse than waiting for dead men's shoes. The spirit of the German people will become at tuned to revolution only when they see their armies pressed h < rpon tfceir own soil, when the All Highest is no longer able to resist 1 iic thrusts of his enemies, when liunp< r aid cold and imminent peril have taught them that trust put ir. princes is in vain. The way t> produce revolt in Ger many is by carrying on so vigorous a warfare that the German people will ro longer go to death for the support of monarchical ambitions* All the little manifestations of discontent in Germany just now are symptomatic, it may be, but they do not mean any thing upon which to pin hope of an early peace. IN GOOD CAUSE EVERY nation in the world, ex cept possibly Turkey, is re sponsive to the magnificent work being carried on by the Y. M. C. A. in the warring countries. In Europe the constructive work of tills great organization diffuses most of tlio light in a loud-deadened sky at this time. Soon after tin declaration of war, four yea 1 ug", the Y. M. C. A. lead ers were quick to i ecognize the fact that the figlitin;, men have intellect ual and spiritual needs quite as pro noum ed as their phvslcal wants. To meet this need, buildings that are accessible to our fighting men are being erected wherever United States soldiers are located. These buildings are furnished in a way to constantly remind the boys of the "folks back home." Writing mate rials may be had here; carefully se lected pictures adorn the walls, and the latest phonograph records are always available for an informal con cert. Building materials are high In France. A building that would cost s{>,ooo in this country costs the As sociation three times that sum in a country where labor is scarce and materials are high. • The people of this country believe t that nothing is too good for the boys FRIDAY EVENING. who are risking their lives for us who remain at home. The Y. M. C. A. is asking for a fund of $35,000,000 to conduct the war work until July 1 of next year. No one knows the amount that will be asked then, and no one seems to care particularly. That Y. M. C. A. funds are carefully administered is a matter of history, and the American people are per suaded that their money cannot be Invested to better advantage. We have noticed that a batch of buckwheat cakes or several pans of fried mush are a great com/ort on a "meatless day." GOVERNMENTS DON'T DEFAULT NO buyer of a Liberty Loan bond need have any fear that the government of the United States of America will default or repudiate the debt. That is probably more than can be said of the gov ernment of Germany, which is hope lessly embogged. There have been very few occasions when the interest on the bonds of reputable govern ments has been defaulted, repudiated or funded. Only in the case of new and untried governments has this happened, except as a result of an archy and the subsequent repudiation by the responsible incoming admin istration. Even in this latter case the repudiation has usually been tem porary. In the case of South Ameri can countries it lias been Impossible sometimes to pay off a loan at ma turity, but the countries' undeniably great natural resources have made this a mere matter of waiting for a more propitious time. As a rule, although wars and revo lutions may retard civilization, they I have the immediate effect of stimu lating human thought and endeavor. Thus, in the case of war there usually follows a period of expansion and in vention in the defeated as well as in the victorious country. The opening of the West and the industrial de velopment of the South after the Civil War; the stimulation of manufacture and agriculture in both France and Germany after the Franco-Prussian war; the industrial and political awakening of Spain and the stimu lation of agriculture and commerce in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip pines, all may be regarded as after effects of war. The present situation, created by a war absolutely without precedent in its size, scope, methods and destruc tion, is so abnormal that it would hardly be possible for any man to foretell Its consequences. But If past wars are taken as a precedent, then, since this war is on a larger scale than any which have preceded it, the results, so far as stimulation of energies is concerned, should be larger. Bonds of the Second Liberty Loan are well worth owning. The United States occupies a unique po sition. Part of its lowest yield bonds are available as a basis for note cir culation, which tends to keep their prices on a higher level. We have failed, up to this time, to see the customary notice concerning the scarcity of turkeys; or, maybe the season is just a trifle early. AMEND THE LAW THE next Legislature should be asked to amend the nonparti san judicial act, at least In so far as It pertains to the clause pro vided for "sole nominees." The language of the law Is so ambiguous that a new interpretation is placed upon it every time a fresh crop of candidates for judge come before the people. One year the courts make a ruling. Two years later they are asked to overrule this and, take a position almost diametrically oppo site. The thing is as absurd as it Is needlessly expensive. The election of a judge should be surrounded by all the dignity and the majesty of the law. The nonpar tisan act presumably was framed to take judicial candidates out of the hurly-burly and petty disputes of partisan campaigns. The fifty-one per cent, clause, however, has In volved the judicial elections in bick erings as bitter as those of a pre cinct primary. A way to relief should be found. I A DOR PROBLEM AFTER WAR AN official of the Canadian Pa cific Railway says that when the war is over. Canada will be confronted with a serious prob lem In connection with the employ ment of the soldiers who will bo dis charged from the service. Many peo ple try to belittle this problem and assert that it will solve itself, but he Insists that It should receive con sideration before the war ends. Very likely we shall have similar difficulties in this country, even if peace should come before American troops have done any actual fighting. Practically all the men in the Amer ican Army were In regular employ ment before enlistment. Their places have been taken by younger or older men, or by women and girls. Large numbers of the wqjnen and girls who are now employed for the first time Vlll desire to continue such em ployment. It is very likely that in many lines of activity there will be more workers than Jobs. In any event, there will be a con siderable period of readjustment during which many people will be out of employment. What to do with the soldiers during that period is a c.ubject that should be considered before the time comes to disband the army. ' ,| fotcttca- Lk 'Pt-KKOijttfaKta By tho Ex-Committeeman Bigr political organizations In the two large cities of the state are get ting ready for final drives that will make the approach of the election of 1917 one of the most exciting known in the state in years and indicate the importance attached to struggles in advance of the gubernatorial bat tle in 1918. In several of the up state cities the contests for control will be strenuotis and the signs are that there will be more overseers named by the courts to conduct elec tions than for a long time. The Town Meeting party in Phila delphia is facing a fight with the city administration and men who sign papers are being interrogated by po lice officers in the good old way. " In Pittsburgh the registration board ap pears to be the storm center and in Scranton the mine cave issue looms up. Thus far the state administration has managed to keep out of contests except in one or two instances, bul there ane signs of men connected with the Capitol figuring in the clos ing campaign in more ways than one. —Concerning the Philadelphia de velopments the Philadelphia Press to-day says: "The efforts of the po lice department were employed last night in investigating alleged frauds perpetrated in the filing of the nomi nation papers of the Town Meeting party candidates which, if proved, will disqualify all candidates of that party for the 'row' offices. In a state ment denying that the police again had been injected into politics, Pub lic Safety Director Wilson last night admitted that the investigations con ducted by his detectives had been made for the purpose of obtaining information upon -which signers of these nomination papers might be prosecuted." —Representative Isadore Stern, one of the principal witnesses in the Fifth ward murder conspiracy case, predicted in an interview in Phila delphia last night that unless Mayor Smith removed Director Wilson and Lieutenant of the Third district po lice station, there would be another murder in the Fifth ward before elec tion day. "The police department of Philadelphia," he said, "has become thoroughly demoralized and we are on the verge of anarchy and blood shed in this city." ' —Highway Commissioner J. Denny O'Nell, who spoke with Secretary to the Governor William H. Ball at the State Baptist convention at Altoona yesterday, took occasion to \yhack Senator Penrose and liquor and malign influences in polttlcs. Secre tary Ball spoke on "clean politics" in Pennsylvania. Both are prominent Baptists. —The Philadelphia Ledger says editorially to-day: "When during the Blankenburg administration the po lice were employed to verify the reg istration lists where fraud was sus pected a howl went up from the or ganization against' "the injectioh of the police In politics." When under the Smith-Vare administration po licemen and detectives are assigned to hunt up and interrogate signers of the Town Meeting party pre emption and nomination papers the reformers denounce the maneuver as "a crowning defiance of law." a flagrant attempt at intimidation." —Senator James P. McNichol has so far recovered that he will be able to go In a day or two to a residence in suburban Philadelphia, but it will be weeks before he will get about again. —Auditor General Snyder in dis cussing the suitcases held at Union station declared that the papers in them were state property and should be in the Capitol and that he meant to get them and also the persons who tried to take them away. Con sidering all the fuss made about the extraordinary protective measures thrown about the Auditor General's Department last winter and the at tention given to it by certain news papers not much is being said now when the scheme to make away with papers is laid bare. —And right on top of the restric tion of election bonfires mayors of various cities are announcing that there will be nothing doing in the way of throwing corn or flour on Hallowe'en. It Is pure waste and will not be tolerated. —Congressman John R. K. Scott seems to be having a hard time with District Attorney Rotan in Philadel phia. Rotan has won the fifth battle with Scott over Sam Maloney. —Howard R. Sheppard, a well known manufacturer, who is secre tary-treasurer of th rsaac A. Shep pard Company, yesterday agreed to accept the chairmanship of the Phil adelphia Town Meeting party to suc ceed Thomas F. Armstrong, \yho has been named as the candidate of <he Independent movement Tor receiver of taxes. Mr. Sheppard was treas urer and vice-chairman and later chairman of the independent upris ing of 1911, which elected Rudolph Blankenburg to the Mayoralty. He was chairman of tho campaign com mittee of the Committee of One Hun dred, in 1913, is a member of the Committee of Seventy, and has ac tively participated in practically ev ery independent campaign in Phila delphia in the last twenty years. —The four state officials who were reappointed by Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh to offices for which the Senate of Pennsylvania withheld confirmation in its closing hours won their fight yesterday in the Dauphin County Court for a manda mus to compel Auditor General Charlds A. Snyder to recognize them, but they will have to wait a long time. So will the three men who were also reappointed after being re jected, but who did not join in the suit. It is even possible that they may have to defend their titles to of fice in a new proceeding. The de cision of Judge George Kunkel de cides that the men are recess ap pointments, the contention of the Attorney General, whose use of the name of the Commonwealth Is also upheld. Governor Brumbaugh said when appraised of the result, "I felt sure that the court would take that view. I am very glad that it did." Auditor General Snyder immedi ately countered with the statement that while he was surprised he felt a satisfaction in that he had acted in good faith in bringing the suit and felt It Incumbent to appeal to the Supreme Court. "I shall act promptly in the matter," said he. Whether Mr. Snyder will institute quo warranto proceedings against the four men who took him Into court Is not known, but the effect of an appeal would be to hold up their pay and recognition still longer be cause the Supreme Court will hardly hear th case this year. Not only the four officials who brought suit have had pay and expenses held up, but James W. Leech, Compensation Commissioner; William Young, late ly of the Industrial Board, and B. F. Nead, Accountants Board, have not been paid a cent. It Is Intimated that they will not be until the Su | preme Court acta BXItHISBUHG TELEGRAPH! MOVIE OF A MAN TRYING TO BE QUIET AT 4 A.M.

Despite the failure of new parties to establish themselves permanently, with the conspicuous exception of the Republican party, the suggestion is offered by a group of persons rep resenting various elements in con ference in Chicago that one more at tempt be made. The idea is to gath er together the forces behind the farmers' nonpartisan movement, the remnant of the Progressive party, the Prohibitionists and the backers of universal suffrage, public owner ship of railroads and other radical policies. On the basis of past experience it is easy to predict that the new party, if actually launched, will have only a short existence. Coming so soon aft er the breaking up of the most lor midable third-party movement in years—the Progressive party, once led by Theodore Roosevelt, now re turned to the Republican fold—many will think that only moderate suc cess at best can be won by the pro posed organization. However, in these extraordinary times predictions based on' past experience easily may be misleading. The world in many respects is moving in ways incon sistent with past tendencies. Unex pected developments may suddenly furnish the basis for new activities and new alignments.—From the Chi cago News. ENEMIES WITHIN GATES There has been much criticism of the government for slackness in deal ing with enemy aliens, and uome of it has been deserved. But the experi ence of other countries shows that the United States is by no means alone in finding it difficult to solve the problem satisfactorily. Thus there is complaint in England that the pacifists have too much rope, and the attitude of Washington to j their agitation is contrasted favor ably with the attitude of London. Italy, too, is being vexed by a pro- German agitation, directed against Baron Sonnino in particular, and the Italian government is blamed for not interning at once all the Germans still residents in the kingdom. The root of the difficulty, of course, lies in the fact that free and democratic nations cannot act as resolutely as autocracies in matters of personal liberty. Public opinion has to be convinced that the agitation is un patriotic and the agitators are dan gerous before it will sustain meas ures which, however necessary in time of war, would be condemned In time of peace.—Philadelphia ledger. AN AMERICAN JUDGE There Is one public official out on the Pacific Coast who has a red blooded view of the duties and obli gations of American citizenship, and who has the courage to express such sentiments. This is Judge Jurey, of Seattle. In a recent citizenship pro ceeding before him he held that a I man who would go out on a Rtrike In an industry needed by the country to j carry on the war is unfit to become a citizen of the United States. A nilip carpenter had applied for his final papers, and. in response to questions had testified that he had voted for the ship carpenters' ritrlke and was then waiting to be called out. Judge Jurey promptly denied the ap plication nnd explained very "clearly the reason. "I think any man r.o lacking In patriotism," he isaid, "that he would strike at such a time when the United States is in dire need of ships to carry supplies to our noldiers r\nd allies across the seas, is not fit to become a citizen of this country. —Philadelphia Press. Planting by Tape There ha Just come from the presses of the J. Horace McFarland Company li< this city the most elab orate seed cats log ever isßUed by any gardening firm. It is the effort cf the American Seedtape Company to prepare for the big gardening rush that is expected to come with the nf.w year. The seedtape company specializes In seeds fastened to tapes In exactly the proportions In ivhich they should be planted to produce best results and the gardener plants them 'n long strings or tapes In trenches as he desires. The com pany has done a big business in the past and is preparing to meet the early rush for seed catalogs the coming ■winter and spring. The color work of the booklet Is the most extensive ever attempted for any seed catalog. V. rr w The Last Troubadour JI OVER in Baxter street, where the! barrel organs always have been made, and from where the I only troubadours and wandering! musicians that America has ever known have set off on their tours, there is a high, blank boarding all around the old corner shop, at Eliza beth, where for fifty years Joseph ( Mollnarl, the last of the makers of the hand organ, hammered brass brads into barrels In a most myste rious way. For from this most Italian of oc cupations no great Industry has grown. There are few organ grind era left. The monkeys will soon be on the town. It is ten years ago now since Louis Oliva stopped mak ing hand organs In his dimly lighted quarters in "The Castle," next door i to the Grand Duke theater; and twenty-five years since Jerome Mo rello stopped making them. He was j in Baxter street, too, but perhaps ; his place never had quite the gla-| mour about It which Louis Oliva'sj had. Weber and Fields and Harri gan and Hart began in the Grand 1 Duke theater and Louis Oliva used I to send over his organs, gratis, to be I the orchestra. Now Joseph Molinari has gone, too. The property has been sold, and the old shop Is coming down. The children and the old, old women still have very dark eyes in liaxter street, and the pushcarts still crowd together into long, vivid market places with their peepers and their fruits and vegetables of one kind and another, but the narrow street will never be quite so truly Italian again since the music makers haye gone, and no more itinerant min strels set out on.their tours. There are many perfectly reason able reasons why this old order has! changed and given place to new. I Americanization has set in. There j are ofher things for Italian Immi grants to do when they get to Ameri ca than strolling about with a musi cal instrument. Their friends meet them at Ellis Island to tell them how many other things there are bringing more return. The old or gan grinders are wearing out and dying, and there are no young organ grinders. In the Good Old Days. But in the old days It was differ ent. Joseph Molinari can tell you how It was. Organ grinding was the easiest thing to do. What more nat ural than to make music and, in do ing so, walk all about the country, seeing how this place was quite a different thing from Italy, and In finitely bigger! The more daring of them got as far as Cleveland and Chicago, in those first days, but it was as much a feat and an adven ture as Christopher Columbus' first adventuring, and most of them turned back sooner. It was not nat ural for one country to keep on way over to the next ocean! Eventually, they went all over the country, and the majority of the hand orgnns which went with them | were made in Mr. Molinarl's shop., 1 KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS The Knights of Columbus at their dinner to-night have occasion for congratulation on the large public service they have been able to under take in connection with the war. At the request of the War Department this organization has undertaken to do the same sort of work that the Y. M. C. A. has engaged in for the Army encampments and canton ments. It is building, equipping and maintaining buildings for social, re creational and religious centers. In July the Knights raised a fund of a million dollars as a nucleus and already have Installed buildings in eighteen places. Additional funds are being raised to supplement this work, and the Kansas City organiza tion has just completed a successful campaign In which It obtained more than J40.000 as its share. The Knights of Columbus and the Y. M. C. A. are co-operating in these activ ities, the one organization providing for the Catholic men, the other for the nonCathollc. These camp recreational facilities are of very great importance. In connection with the outside facilities for which a fund Is now being raised in Kansas City and throughout the country, they provide the most prac tical means possible for Insuring the welfare of the young men ot the army.—Kansas City Times. Of course, the young Italians chose then to be organ grinders when right there in Baxter street, which they took to be New York city, were makers who financed the trips, tak ing rental for the organs on the in stalment plan or when a three months tour was over. It was not until many trips had been made and much wandering done that a grintfer bought his organ outright. That sad and world weary look which the ancient grinders wear in their eyes surely was not there when they were young and starting out to see America. Surely It was adven ture for them then —they must have wondered what little town would | show up just around the curvingi country road, what kind of foreign city would come next. It seems a sad thing to have worked so long at troubadouring and being a minstrel that there is no more joy and sur prise—and still to go on playing for the pennies. In those days, too, the burden of the organ on their backs was not so great, nor did they ever have to push I or pull the ones which go on wheels. Almost unimpeded the first grinder went, for at first it was only little organs, melodeons they were called, that Joseph Molinari made. Later ■ the sophisticated instrument with a post or a peg was made, to be slung by a broad leather strap, as only a careless and debonnalr Italian can sling, over the left shoulder. Still later than that came the wheeled or gans. The great street pianos, such as center merry-go-rounds, and were mostly made in Berlin, had no place at all in the Molinari shop. Figures in History. Only with barrels did Molinari have to do, hammering the bright brads in at various lengths and stated intervals, so that several tunes were pricked out on one cylinder, and setting notch pins in the'bnrrel head so that the tunes might change. Each slow revolution of the barrel gave one whole tune. Organetto a Manovella, Joseph Molinari and the grinders would call these instruments, or else organo tedesco, which last word gives the origin of the barrel organ, In The Netherlands, somewhere around Uie middle of the fifteenth century. In England, too, it is often called the Dutch organ. Soon after, however, it was in use in Italy, and with the Italians it is usually associated. For The Netherlands do not care so much to wander and to sing, making music and a livelihood In the easiest and most pleasing way. In France, too, the barrel organ has been for cen turies —the orgue de Barbarle or or gue d'Allemagne, and the merline or bird organ, which was tiny and in the shape of a book. But ir. the Netherlands was the origin. In the archives of Belgium is the record of an organ builder, one Jehan van Steenken, who was made "Master of organs which play of themselves." At first these wore not portable. It may bo that it was the wandering Southern peoples who saw to that. THE BLASPHEMER "Onward with God!" So this blas phemer cries. When he has deluged half the world in blood, Broken the bond of human broth erhood, Patched up his infamies with pious lies, Laughed at his murdered victims' groans and sighs, The reddened earth with outraged corpses strewed, Done deeds that would shame hell and called them good. And hoped for victory as his. foul crimes' prize. And yet this crowned destroyer of his kind Pretends that God is his ally, and calls On those who follow him with mad ness blind To fight for God! But when God wills he fails, Leaving a rtame accursed of men be hind. A record that a ravaged world appalls! —Victor Vane in the Brooklyn Eagle. DIPLOMACY NEEDED [From the Dallas News.] Another thing—what do these mil lionaires who are working at Wash ington for a dollar a year tell their wives when they go home on Satur day night without any wages? OCTOBER" 19, 19T7. LABOR NOTES Women are being substituted for drafted men and are paid one-half the wages paid men, reports Karl Ferguson, state organizer of the State Federation of Labor. Regardless of the fact that the laws of Arizona permit picketing, the Bisbee Loyalty League has in duced city authorities to pass an or dinance against picketing. Springfield (111.) municipal tire men have organized and are char tered by the American Federation of Labor. Similar Illinois organizations exist in Chicago, East St. Louis and ltock Island. The Children's Bureau of the Fed eral Department of Labor has in structed its representatives through out the country to see that the Keat ing-Owen child labor law is en forced. Low wages and long hours were indicted by Probation Officer Hertey of the District of Columbia at an un employed conference under the aus pices of the Federal Department of Labor. Russian Radicals demand free medical aid to workers at the ex pense of the employer, with support of the workman during the time of illness. Louisville (Ky.) United Trades and Labor Assembly has petitioned city authorities to enact a semimonthly pay law for municipal employes. At Carney's Point (N. J.) plant of the Du Pont Powder Works, ar rangements are being made to in crease the force of 200 women in the smokelfss powder department. British radicals demand the close organization of the workers against war. I OUR DAILY LAUGHI PLAYING SAFE.

It is as large as some of the widely-known clubs In the vicinity of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and Is unrivaled for setting, The view from the clubhouse Is one of the most remarkable In the state. It shows the wide branching Susque hanna In all its glory at one of the most wonderful spots on its long course through Pennsylvania. The mountains seem to have been laid down in rows and then given twista while the river bored through. The clubhouse Is one of the important buildings of Harrisburg and in addi tion to be the last word in clubs has a golf course that is just nqw the talk of the golfers of Central Pennsyl vania. It had the advantage of be ing planned by experts who found ready for them land which had been in pasture for ten years, while it has all the topography that the real golfer loves. • * * People who have been wakened up to the views around Harrisburg by tlve building of the new Country Club at Fort Hunter need only to remember that Fishing Creek valley is not a marker to Stony Creek valley and that Powell's, Armstrong's and Clark's creeks all come down through some of the wildest, pret tiest land to be found anywhere. Even the Wisconisco and Mahanton go wend their way through scenic joys. All you need is to get tho spirit and a day's wanderlust and you can -find more enjoyable places to view in your own county than has been told. Over in Perry County you can see the seven ridges spread ing over Dauphin and coming down to dip beneath the Susquehanna, mountains folded and laid in rows and hills and valleys in between, and from Dauphin hills you can look down on a river scene unequaied and see beyond the period rldgcp of Perry. A ride through the country aroundabout Harrisburg these fall days will open the eyes of the city dweller as to the progress in fruit growing displayed by the average farmer in the past few years. Hun dreds of rundown orchards have been brought into a high state of pro ductiveness and apple-picking is now going forward along lines that were not thought of outside the big orch ards a short time back. There is, fbr example, on the road from Marysville to Sterritt's Gap, in Perry cpunty, one farmer whose apples have attracted such widespread at tention that automobilists drive ill the way from Harrisburg to lay In their winter supplies. A few years ago his orchard, which is small as orchards go, was worth scarcely a dyllar to him. That was before he bctan to treat it In a scientific man ner. Now It is worth hundreds of dollars a year In yield and is the most profitable piece of land on the place. He is known as the "apple man" among his neighbors, who, by the way, are sprucing up their trees and are following his example. • Speaking of apples and country side trips, this is the cider and apple butter season and the presses and the k<ttiet arc doing a rushing business. All of the culls and windfalls are going into the cider presses that are net used for applebutter-making and. as the crop hereabouts is very good, as a rule, the applebutter pro duction is going to be larger than for many years. Vinegar is also be ing made in large quantities, the farmer having taken to this Indus try very largely since James Foust and his pure vinegar law forced llie fake brands off the market. • • One young woman who is anxious to get a sweater knit for her soldier boy in the South, in timo for a Christmas present, met with a set back the other night. She took her knitting to the Majestic theater. She was one of the girls who can knit and watch the performance at the same time. One thing she did not count on. In the same row was a young man who did not like the show and left early. In getting up to allow the young man to pass out, the i ball of yarn dropped to the floor. Of course the Mujestlc floor is not on the level, and before that ball of yarn stopped rolling it was in the orchestra pit.
