For keeping apples in winter, use only clean barrels and sort the fruit well, packing each grade separately and marking it accordingly. Let no ;rood fruit go to waste. Dry what cau not be marketed otherwise. For win ter storage pick winter fruit when ful- ly mature, handle it as carefully as you would eggs, leave it outdoors as long as safe from freezing, then put in a good cellar. For home: use in spring try packing some fine apples in, barrels or boxes,of-dry oats or cork dust. Pine sawdust, if used as packing material, imparts a bad flavor to the fruit.

He said he had a carload of groceries etc.- com- ing in at Centralia but was runout of money and wished to borrow about $3 in order to secure' the goods, stating that if Mr. Webber would advance him the money he would in return give him about $2 worth of goods for one, Mr. Webber gave him the money with all sincerity that he was going to use. it as above stated.
