A ride across .he country from Portland to St Louis shows lue- supremacy of ",tbe ' apple among fruits. Other fruits may rise and fall in the estimation f the public but" t) e apple is always at the head ol th pro cession. If ' this ' were' not so thousands . of apple growers would be , unable to find a mar ket for their' fruit., lhere are only gaps of a ' fe r " hours ride between apple growing sections clear across the- country. All through the1 almost' everlasting mountain region in Colorado traversed by the lines of the Denver and Rio Graude and Rio' Grande Western railways apple trees and apple ' orchards, large or small, are makiLg their ap pearance.

' That the daily newspaper ; is the greatest advertising medium was attested by- the vociferous applause that Followed the state ment'of Business Manager Pierce of ' the 'Chicago Record Herald to that effect.- Mr Pierce tUough'noi on the regular pro gram, w'as i given permission to reply .to the ' address' of Thomas Balmer on' magaiiite adverti s- , "tit Balmer's . assertion i that the result derived from maga zine 1 advertising , surpass any other ' form of . advertising ; is fake,; declared Mr Pierce in his opening sen tenee."' "The news paper is the best advertising medium on earth, Mr Balmer to the contrary, notwithstanding. There are more advertisements in the average1 Sunday news paper of reputsLle standing and average circulation hau can be found in all 1 the magasines of one month's , issue0 combined, and this ia , equally true of ' re sults': The newspapers stand im a class of their own in ad vertising results." ., "The tremendous amount o f space occupied every day by the1 advertisements of the big commercial houses all over the country, whose prosperity is too well known to be questioned, testifies to the' truth of these statements."
