THE SPENCER SEEDLESS APPLE
An Expert Investigates It and Makes
Flattering Report.
There has been much adverse criti
cinin of tlie Spencer Seedless Apple,
notably in the Rural Jew Yorker and
Bunio of its satellites. The opinion of
a recognized horticulturist, who has
made a thorough examination of the
apple, being allowed free range in the
orchard where they are grown, should
be valuable to those who are thinking
of planting these trees, as well as to
those who by reason of the criticisms
have been deterred from purchasing.
A company was recently organized yi
Canada to handle the Spencer Seedless
Apple trees, but the adverse criticisms
alarmed the organizers, and they re
fused to proceed further with the nego
tiations until they could have the prop
osition thoroughly examined by an ex
perienced horticulturist of reputation of
their own selection. This was readily
assented, to, and as a result the Hon.
John Dryden, who for more than twen
ty years was minister of agriculture for
the province of Ontario, was selected to
examine and report on this apple.
The Hon John Dryden's name is a
household word in Canada and Great
Britain, and his reputation is such as
will carry great weight wherever he Is
known. His report is most flattering
and an unqualilied endorsement of the
apple. A copy of it is sent free upon
application to the Spencer Seedless
Apple Company, Everett, Washington.

"Thls Is the time of year," triumph
antly declared the flat dweller, "when
the iceman gets Just about what's com
, lug to Elm. He no longer rings an Irate
bell,' ejaculates 'Ice!' In conquering
tones, stands on the threshold . with
the splendid air of a reigning mon
arch, and deals out a 2 cent piece of
Ice for 10 eeHts.
"On the contrary, softly rings an
apologetic bell, and outside stands a
meek-faced man Imploring patronage;
not only imploring patronage, but gen
erously, handing out 5 cent pieces of
Ice for 10 cents."'

told me he had two half-sisters, but I
guess I know enough fractions for
that!"

Young Foley looked so downcast that

"Fired," returned Foley, concisely.
"Fired?" repeated the tnarketman.
"Give you any reason for doing It?"
t "Yep," Foley said, with the air of a
martyr. "The boss said he was losing
money on the things I was making."
"Is that so? What were you mak
ing?" "Mistakes."

A short distance In front of the board
Is a spring arm, one end of which con
nects with a small roljer. This spring
arm regulates the thickness of the slice
of bread to be cut. As the knife de
scends through the bread the roller
forces the spring arm down, the slice
thus falling onto the table. When the
knife Is withdrawn the spring arm
ascends and Is ready to measure oH
the next slice.

Harvesting Dollars
is possible if the seed be judiciously planted.
Southern Alberta, Canada, has demonstrated beyond a doubt
that it is the greatest cereal growing country on the co itinent,
and "Alberta Red Wheat" grown there took both the Gold and
Bronze medals at the Portland Exposition.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Company has 3,000,000 acres
of the best of land, irrigable and non-irrigable, just east of Cal
gary, Alberta, which they are selling at from $12 to $15 per acre
for non-irrigable and $18 to $25 per acre for irrigable.
Lands sold by them three months ago at these prices are now
now being held by the purchasers at $50 per acre and upwards.
The harvesting of dollars invested in these lands is just as
certain as the harvesting of cereals.
If you are interested drop a card to the 'address below for
literature fully describing the opportunity o: the age. '.
