ITALIANS PONDER 0IT U. S. OFFER
Washington, Nov. 12. Settlement
of Italy's war debt to the United
States was hanging in the balance
Wednesday night as the Italian debt
commission pondered over the first
formal funding offer submitted from
the Americans. There were indica
tions that it carried the lowest terms
to which this government was will
ing to assent.
The offer was an outgrowth of half
a dozen joint conferences during
which all factors bearing on Italy's
capasity to pay were considered. It
was elispatehed to Count Volipi anel
his associates shortly after noon, but
a late hour Wednesday night, no
intimation had been forthcoming as
to the action which the Italians
would take.
Chairman Mellon never-the-less
has called the American commission
ers to meet again early Thursday.

Apple Growing
is a World Wide
Industry Now
Fruit that Thrives in Almost Every
Country in the World and is a
Prime Favorite of All.
There are so many kinds of apples;
they grow so nearly everywhere;
there are so many ways to use them
besides merely eating them whole,
that it seems like an easy thing to
write a short essay on apples. But
the trouble is that there are so many
interesting things to say that one
does not know where to begin or
when to end. The history of apples
goes clear back to the beginning of
the written story of human life.
There are many books on the sub
ject. They do not agree in every
respect, but they all agree that, from
the very first, man has considered
the apple one of his most valuable
articles of food.
If you have been in the woods
these fine autumn days, you may
have seen the little scrubby trees
known as hawthornes loaded down
with tiny fruit. You may even have
picked some of these little red berry
like fruits and eaten them. If you
were very hungry and most boys
and girls are hungry when they are
out in the woods you liked them.
You had to eat a great many to get
enough, and you notie:ed with some
disappointment that the insides were
'almost full or hard, yellow seeds.
You probably thought that these
hawes or thorn-apples were a very
poor substitute for the big juicy, red
apples your grocer sells, but did you
stop to think that these seedy little
fellows are the parents, the great-great-great-grandaddies
of our fine
ppples of today?
There is an old saying that "when
apples fail, tiie hawes will do." which
means that there were times in this
country when frot or insects or
other blights destroyed most of th"
cultivated apple crop, and then folks
had to eat thorn-apples. That was in
the days when apples were the only
fruit that could be kept after har
vest time. They were practically
the only fresh fruit available during
the long winter months, and you have
learned how important it is to life
and health to have something fresh
aii'l green to eat with meats, bread
and other food, so it is no wonder
that the early settlers gathered and
stored the fruit of the hawthorne
tree when their orchards failed to
give them a supply of apples.
We have not had an apple crop
iailure in America in a good many
years. In fact, apples are now grown
in so many different sections and un
der so many different weather and
soil conditions that a complete fail
ure is. impossible. If the buds, blos
soms or young apples freeze in one
section of the country, we are sure
that there will be good fruit on the
trees in another section, and so we
are cure of apples of some sort every
fall, and the supply has grown so big
that there are usually enough to put
some in storage for use during the
winter anel until spring brings straw-
Itt-rries and other fresh fruits to take
their place.
Wc have come to look upon good
apples as a matter of course. When
wc want them and we want them
almost every day all we have to do
is phone the grocer or visit the fruit
stand, and there they are, fresh,
rine. sound and ready for us. Some
come in snug wooden boxes and
buehel baskets from tar away or
chards on the slopes of the mountain
ranges in Washington, Oregon, Call
iornia. Idaho. Utah, Colorado and
even untisn loiumtna. oome come
in barrels from the mid-Western
and central states, from the Ozarks
in the southwest, from the pictures
que valleys of Virginia and Pennsyl
vania, from the Great Lakes region,
from the historic hillsides of New
York Etate and New England and
not a few from our own fertile region
of southeastern Nebraska and south
western Iowa, where the soil more
nearly resembles that cf the fertile
Valley of the Nile than that of any
othrr section of the country and pro
duces apples of equal quality with
anv grown in the world.
We take good apples for granted,
just as we take many other tnings
of life for granted, but do we ever
stop to consider the work the worry.
he disappointment and the loss that
oitcn forms part of the task of bring
ing this fruit to us? When we look
back at the thorn-apple and try to
trace its story down through the
hundreds of years of work and cul
tivation that have been necessary to
bring about the gloriously flavored
fruit of today, we must realize that
somebody has been working continu
ously and tirelessly to give us the
best the orchard can produce. Nature
gave man the apple, but man has
found ways to improve it until we
know it as something almost entire
ly different from its early ancestor.
Apples grow in every state in the
Union and in almost every country
on earth. North America produe-cs
by far the largest share of all apples
grown, and we are able each year to
send some cf our finest fruit across
the seas to people in other countries
where they do not grow the fine
varieties that are so familiar to us.
England grows a great many apples
of her own. In fact, many of the
best varieties raised in this country
were brought here from England in
the days of the early colonies, but
line
English people are the largest
buyers of American apples abroad.
taking millions of barrels and boxes
each year. Australia and South Af-
rica also grow rine apples, ana somevolume of frertht traffic not only
of these are sold in England. As the
Australian ana boutn Atrican nar-
vest is about six months earlier than
our own. England has a supply
of ,f
apples all the year around.
in the early a ays, apples were i
grown by the colonists in New Eng-
land and Virginia- As settlers push-'
ed their w ay westw ard into what '
was then the wilderness of Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
other territory in the great Mississip
pi Valley, they carried seeds and
shoots of their precious apple trees
with them, planting new orchards
as they moved on through forests and
across plains, until today we have
apples growing almost wherever men
That is, we grow them to sell in home
or distant markets. The building of
railroad lines everywhere, the con
strvction of refrigerator cars, the
establishment of great cold storage
warehouses in market cities, and,
above all, the development of the
varieties of apples that will keep
well in cold storage have made the
apple industry a big part of our food
producing business.
There are more kinds of apples
than we have space to tell. It would
take all day to read a list of them,
as they run into the thousands, and
it is likely that we should not re
member many of the names. We are
all familiar with a few, however,
and these few are the apples we ute
most frequently and like best. Some
sections of the country like one ap
ple; other sections prefer another.
The Jonathan, named after Jonathan
Chapman, or "Johnny Appleseed," as
he was affectionately known by thous
ands of poor settlers to whom he gave
apple seeds and advice as to how to
raise young trees, comes nearest be
ing the universal favorite. It is
round, red, solid, juicy and full of
tart flavor which appeals to most
boys and girls. It belongs to the
Baldwin family, ef which the Ben
Davis and other reel varieties are im
portant members.
In the east, especially in New York
City, the Mcintosh apple is a great
favorite. This is a cheery, red apple
with the whitest meat and the dan
diest juice flavor. It is very much
like the old snow apple that used to
prow in orchards of Illinois. Wiscon
sin and other states about the Great
Lakes, but which is nol much known
in this section toelay. The
Delicious.
a comparatively new variety, is the
aristocrat of modern apples. It is big,
rosy and slightly pointed at the low
er end. where there are five little
nobs, each corresponding to a seed
cell insid" the fruit. This
which probably belongs to the
nose or Bell Flower family,
blossom-like flavor that no
apple possesses.

steps; and there is being aroused an
enthusiasm which Mr. Ford is hope
ful will return the waltz, the gavotte,
the schottische and even the homely,
boisterous quadrille to a parity with
the Charleston:
Mr. Ford has been one of the most
active participants at the cathedral
parties, acting as insturctor to mat
rons and misses alike. Mrs. Ford,
too is showing a lively interest, and
the two are among the most accom
plished of dancers.
Classes are in charge of Mr. and
Mrs. Benjamin B. Lovette, who con
duct dancing classes under Mr. Ford's
auspices at Dearborn. This quartet
Mr. and Mrs. Lovett and Mr. and
Mrs. Ford work zealously at each
meeting to illustrate the old dances;
reviving them for the more elderly
pupils, introducing them to the young t
people. j
The Ford orchestra is a strange
contrast to the blatant, derbied cor
net, the bleating saxophone and the
assertive tympani of the modern i
"jazz" band. There are no crash-!
ing cymbals, no rippling and syn- j
copated pianoforte. The orchestra
consists of a Hungarian cjmbalon.j
a dulcimer, a great horn like a tuba,
a violin and a guitar a quaint quin-j
tet that providesa fitting back-.
around for the modest steps danced
to its music.
The music, too. is remiscent.
Here and there come melodies roc-j
ognizable to those whose memories;
dip back into the nineties. "Nellie!
Gray" is there, as many of Stephen1
Foster's strains. Young faces remain 1
impassive as these melodies sing'
forth, but old and young alike re-j
spond to the gleeful "Ta-ra-ra-ra .
