Ike RURAL NEW-YORKER 
26 Below Zero, Yet 
Whole House Is Warm 
Residence of Mr. C. L. Cory, Mannsville, N. Y. 
I am more than pleased 
with the Stewart One- 
Pipe furnace you install¬ 
ed in my home. As you 
know, our house is on 
top of a high hill where 
it has no protection from 
wind or weather,yet dur¬ 
ing the past two weeks, 
with thermometer from 
zero to 26 below, have 
kept whole house warm 
and comfortable without 
any trouble whatever and 
with wood for fuel.

YOU, too, will have 
an all-warm home 
—and LESS fuel 
expense—if you 
install this sturdy 
ONEPIPE 
FURNACE 
HOT .AIR 
HEATS WHOLE HOUSE-KEEPS CELLAR COOL 
THIS Powerful, Durable, NEW kind of Warm- 
air Furnace that is giving such great satisfaction in thou¬ 
sands of homes, is built by the same old reliable concern 
that for 88 years has been making the famous STEWART 
Stoves and Ranges. So you can rest assured it is built RIGHT 
—it is DEPENDABLE. 
Another reason you should BE SURE to 
get a STEWART ONEPIPE is because it is from 
100 to 300 pounds HEAVIER than most other makes— 
and this EXTRA weight is largely in firepot and grate 
where naturally the hardest wear comes. Its Large Firedoor accommodates 
big chunks of WOOD. Its EXTRA LARGE Register insures heat 
in large volume. And pictured below is still another STEWART feature. 
Ordinary Sloping Firepot 
STEWART Straight Firepot 
Above at the left is pictured the firepot of the ordinary pipeless furnace. Note bow the 
sloping sides collect ash, which deadens the fire and prevents proper radiation. Picture at 
the RIGHT shows the STEWART firepot. built EXTRA heavy and with STRAIGHT 
sides to increase grate area, coal capacity, heat radiation and assure perfect combustion. 
This is just one of the many features that make the STEWART ONEPIPE so successful.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC.—The six-acre plant of 
the Barber Asphalt Company on the New 
Jersey side of Staten Island Sound, near 
Perth Amboy, was destroyed by fire Sep¬ 
tember 2(5. resulting in damage of nearly 
.$3,000,000. The four units into which 
the plant was divided—one for the re¬ 
fining of asphalt, one for making roofing 
asphalt, one for asphalt flooring products 
and the fourth for asphalt paving blocks 
—were burned, together with their store¬ 
houses. Only the piers along the water¬ 
front escaped the fire. They were saved 
by the fireboat William .T. Gaynor. which 
was sent from New York, and the Socony, 
a fireboat of the Standard <)i 1 Company. 
Two of the six big steel tanks containing 
asphalt also were destroyed. 
Warning against fake fruit beverages 
which have flooded the soft drink market 
since th(> advent of prohibition was issued 
September 27 by the Public Health Serv¬ 
ice. Many of the orange beverages now 
being sold, it was said, consist only of 
sweetened carbonated water flavored with 
a little oil from the peel of oranges and 
artificially colored. The Department of 
Agriculture has ruled that provisions of 
the pure food act will he held to have 
been violated in case such drinks are sold 
under trade names which lead the pur¬ 
chaser to believe they contain the edible 
portion or juice of the fruit named. 
The plan of the five lug packers for the 
dissolution of their business and the sep¬ 
aration of holdings in stockyards, private 
cars and food commodities, is to be op¬ 
posed by the Department of Justice. The 
Attorney-General has filed in the Supreme 
Court a series of objections to the plan 
as submitted. The nature of the Gov¬ 
ernment’s protest is not known, hut it is 
understood the principal premise is the 
objection to turning over to Frederick 
Prince & Co. of Boston the stockyard 
holdings of all the packers. In a formal 
report the Federal Trade Commission 
held that such a course would result in 
monopoly of the stockyards industry, and 
it is understood that the Department of 
Justice concurs in this view. 
Mrs. Emma C. Bergdoll and her four 
co-defendants were found guilty at Phil¬ 
adelphia Sentember 28 of conspiracy to 
aid two of her sons, Grover and Erwin, 
to evade tin' draft. The verdict was re¬ 
turned before Judge Dickinson in the 
United States District Court. Mrs. 
Bergdoll. her son. Charles A. Braun, and 
former Magistrate James E. Romig were 
found guilty on every count under which 
they had been indicted. Albert S. 
Mitchell and Henry Sebum were acquitted 
on the indictments in which they alone 
were defendants, but found guilty with 
a recommendation for mercy on the joint 
bills. On application of their counsel 
the defendants were discharged on $10,- 
000 bail each, pending a motion for a 
new trial. 
Mrs. Katherine M. Stanton, a widow, 
described as the daughter-in-law of a 
wealthy Western mining man, was one 
of three persons indicted September 28 
by a Federal Grand Jury in New York 
on charges of using the mails to defraud 
in the sale of approximately $750,000 
worth of oil stock. Mrs. Stanton. Frank 
A. Dwyer and Albert .T. Froehlich were 
the ones indicted, together with the two 
companies it is alleged they have pro¬ 
moted—the K. M. Stanton Co.. Inc., a 
brokerage bouse, and the Stanton Oil 
Company, both of 30 Broad Street. Ac¬ 
cording to Jerome Simmons. Assistant 
United States Attorney, who presented 
the case to the Grand Jury, the alleged 
promoters organized the two companies 
May U. 1917. and began business a 
month later. The oil company was capi¬ 
talized at $3,000,000. shares having a par 
value of $1 each. The company had not 
been in business two weeks. Mr. Simmons 
said, when a dividend of 30 per cent was 
declared, a fact which is in itself illegal. 
In circulars sent through the mails in¬ 
viting investment in the oil company’s 
stock, the Federal attorney related, the 
company asserted it was producing -100 
to 1.200 barrels of - oil a day from its 
fields in West Virginia and Texas, where¬ 
as the greatest output of the fields has 
never exceeded 200 barrels. 
At Chicago. September 28, indictments 
were voted by the Cook County Grand 
Jury against eight baseball stars, and 
confessions obtained from two of thenr. 
The confessions told bow the Sox throw 
last year’s world championship to Cin¬ 
cinnati for money paid by gamblers. 
Seven Sox regulars and one former player 
comprise the players against, whom true 
bills were voted by the Cook County 
Grand Jury.

titled “Amendment No. 2 to Regulations 
Supplemental to Notice of Quarantine 
No. 13.” an announcement luis been is¬ 
sued by the Department of Agriculture 
adding the following towns to the area

quarantine restrictions: In Massachu¬ 
setts—Bridgewater, East Bridgewater, 
Warehara, Whitman, Canton, Dedham, 
Needham. Maynard and Westford; in 
New York—Broadalbin and Glen. 
The marked increase in the price of 
sugar to the consumer has created a 
lively interest in the production of beet 
sugar in New Zealand. Steps have been 
taken to organize a company in the South 
Island, with a nominal capital of $1,940.- 
(500. for the purpose of establishing a 
beet sugar factory in the vicinity of 
Christchurch. who*,. it is said, high grade 
)>(>e*>t can h' 1 grown on large tracts of the 
October 9, 1020 
made to induce the farmers in the Christ¬ 
church district to raise at least 80 000 
tons of beets, which means the cultivate,! 
of 2.000 to 3,000 acres for this purpose 
New Zealand requires some 75,000 tons 
of sugar per annum, as the consumption 
is about 130 pounds per capita for the 
1 )ominion. 
Because of congestion at the head of 
the Great Lakes considerable Alberta 
wheat may he routed to Great Britain 
through the Panama Canal. The differ¬ 
ence in freight rates is about two cents 
a bushel against the Panama route. 
Negotiations are under way for the 
shipment of large numbers of Texas cat- 
llc to Germany and Austria for rehabili¬ 
tation of the herds in those countries. Tr 
was said, however, that no definite ar¬ 
rangements for the shipments have been 
made. 
Canada is taking high range as an apple- 
growing country, according to the annual 
report of the Canadian Department ,,f 
Agriculture, which shows that last venr 
the Dominion produced 3.334,(500 barrel 
valued at $24.39(5.210. The commercial 
value per barrel of the Canadian apple 
crop averages $0 24 for Nova Scotia. $7 08 
for New Brunswick, $7.50 for Quebec $8 
for Ontario, $8 78 for British Columbia, 
and $7.30 for all Canada. As an imlieii- 
tion of the increased production of fruit 
particularly in British Columbia, the ro- 
port shows that during the year nursery 
goods—trees, plants and bushes—to the 
value of 8227.01.3 were sold. 
The possibility of negroes taking the 
place of Asiatics as farm workers in Cal¬ 
ifornia was discussed September 28 at 
the national convention of the Industrial 
and Commercial Council of People of 
African Descent at Los Angeles. W. II. 
Sanders, a Los Angeles delegate, said he 
was in direct touch with at least 5,000 
negroes who will come to California to 
lake up truck gardening in ease person- 
of Oriental races are barred from further 
colonization in that State. lie said the 
workers would la 1 headed by graduates of 
the agricultural department, of Tuskcgee

The Department of Agriculture, Colum¬ 
bia University, New York City, is offering 
a series of courses this year which will 
he of special interest to all people of the 
metropolitan district interested in get¬ 
ting light ,01 agricultural problems. ’The 
department’s policy is not for or against 
the “back-to-the-land” movement. The 
movement from the city to the country 
is an individual matter, and the point of 
view taken by those in charge of the work 
at Columbia is that a broadened indi¬ 
vidual understanding of the farm prob¬ 
lems to be faced is the only safe thing 
alike for advisors. “baek-to-Unders” and 
farmers. A variety of practical courses 
are included, ranging from field crops and 
soil management to grain grading, farm 
management, marketing, beekeeping, dairy 
and poultry husbandry, orcharding, gar¬ 
dening. floriculture and greenhouse man¬ 
agement. A person who is interested can
