-the One Pipe Furnace 
That Will Serve You BEST 
THIS truly wonderful Heater is made by 
the same old reliable concern that for 88 years has 
been making the well-known STEWART Stoves 
and Ranges, more than THREE million of which have 
been made and sold. Right in your neighborhood there 
are without doubt several STEWART Coolc-stoves that for twenty, thirty 
or forty years have been giving daily service and satisfaction. 
Just the same high-quality steel and iron 
and expert workmanship that have made STEWART 
cook-stoves last so long and serve so well, are now 
being put into the STEWART ONEPIPE. It is DE- 
PENDABLE, because it is built on honor, UP TO A 
STANDARD, not down to a price. 
Note the picture above. See the EXTRA 
large door designed to accommodate large chunks 
of WOOD. That round inner section at left of 
door is the heavy cast-iron Firepot and Radiator—made 
EXTRA heavy for long wear. It is eleven inches between 
the inner and the outer heavy galvanized iron casings—and this cold-air 
section provides the proper quantity of air for the tremendous heater in 
inside section. This cold air comes down from the rooms through the 
outer section of the EXTRA large Duplex Register. The heat is forced 
up through the center circular section. 
IT HEATS WHOLE HOUSE—KEEPS CELLAR 
COOL—AND USES LESS FUEL (coal or wood) 
than Stoves or other heaters. Is EASY to install and operate. 
Send for FREE Booklet and name of nearest 
dealer. There are over 4 00 of them.

$2.35: corn on the cob, $43 ton; oats, G5c 
bn.: rye. $2.75 per TOO lbs.; potatoes, $1 
to $1.10. that is at the stores, but they 
say that in the upper end of the county 
through the potato belt, they are loading 
them in the cars for shipment, at 70c. Eggs 
are (52c. I get 32c for young roosters— 
White Leghorn roosters. Wo raise from 25 
to 35 hu. of wheat per acre ; oats, 50 bn.; 
corn. 70 to 90; that is. wo Americans, 
but. there are lote of foreigners who 
bought places here and then work in the 
city, the wife and children doing the 
farming. If you take their average crops 
it brings ours lower, too. Cows are 
bringing from $70 to $140. Milk is 38c 
per gallon, or 34c at home; butter, 65c 
per lb. Apples are plenty; potatoes a big 
crop; wheat and oats were good; corn a 
large erop through here. it. w. f. 
Lehigh Co., Pa. 
Wheat was a fair crop and put in the 
barn in good condition generally. Local 
buyers pay $2.30 per bu. for wheat; oats. 
60c; corn, 81.65; rye. $1.40; flour, $11.75 
bbl.; eggs. 53c obi hens. 28c lb.; should¬ 
er. 25 to 30c 11k ; ham, 35 to.40c. Apples 
are a fair crop in general: the market 
is overstocked with early apples which 
has a tendency to lower the prices.^ Our 
huckster is paying from 60 to 75c for 
apples just as they run from the tree. 
Help is scarce, and the farmers must de¬ 
pend on themselves to got their work 
done; corn bids fair but was three weeks 
behind in ripening. Not much plowing 
done yet and sowing will run well into 
October. Farm land brings good prices, 
but not so much as a year ago. We had 
frost September 20 in the low laands. hut 
it did not hurt anything. Potatoes will 
he a good crop but show signs of rot.

Potatoes, $1.50 per bu. (some get $2) ; 
eggs. 55c do/,.; butter. 65c lb.; apples 
sell in Scranton or New York for what 
you can get; no offer for cider apples; 
buckwheat and oats, good crop; plums, 
$2; blackberries scarce, no time to pick : 
strawberries and raspberries were good 
crop*. Milk price governed by Dairy¬ 
men's League. Much wet weather and 
no help. ITaying, good crop; lots of folks 
not done yet. • H. c. N. 
I have delivered by truck to Scranton 
this Fall about 500 bu. of apples, a dis¬ 
tance of 18 miles, and received, wholesale, 
75c per bu., and 25c to 30c per peck to 
the consumer. Potatoes. $1.60 per bu., 
wholesale, and 45c to 50c per pock to the 
consumer. These two and hay are the 
leading crops. Little hay has yet been 
sold. The apple crop is the largest known 
1 in this section, and of good quality. The 
| potato crop is good : average small; po¬ 
tatoes good quality ; few are rotting. The 
hay crop fair and of good quality. Most 
farmers are doing what they can with a 
little or no help rtntsido of their families. 
Hired help is from $4 to $5 for nine 
hours. A great many Fall apples went 
to waste because of no market and no 
help. C. E. F.

like everything else. Wheat and corn are 
tin 1 most important 4 grains. Cows are 
high in price, and so is milk—12c per qt.

75 to 80c in some eases. .T. F. K.

British tank steamship G. R. Crowe of 
Toronto, at James Shewan & Son* ship¬ 
yard, at the foot of Twenty-seventh street,

at work on the vessel were imperiled when 
gas which had collected in the empti¬ 
ed tank nearest the how ignited and ex¬ 
ploded with a roar which could be heard 
for blocks. On July 10 last fire swept 
the lumber yard attached to the Shewan 
plant, and burned nine houses along 
Third avenue, between Twenty-seventh 
and Twenty-eighth streets. The damage 
was estimated at $250,000. 
Philadelphia women who have married 
aliens will not. be permitted to vote at: 
tlie corning Presidential election, accord¬ 
ing to a decision banded down October S 
by the Registration Commission. This 
action was taken in a test case, in which 
Mrs. Mary Warburton of tliat. city fig¬ 
ured. Her attorney stated that. Mrs. 
Warburton was an American citizen, in¬ 
asmuch as she was born in the United 
States and lias resided in this country all 
her life. In 1901 she married Charles 
Campbell Warburton. a citizen of Great 
Britain, and since 1904 has resided in 
Philadelphia. 
The Deer Trail State Bank and the 
First National Bank of Deer Trail. Colo., 
were robbed October 11 of cash and se¬

amount to $75,000. 
Fire which started in the negro section 
of Pine Bluff. Ark.. October 12. destroyed 
more than 100 houses and rendered 500 
people homeless. 
WA S HING T ON.—F ede r a 1 proscentinn 
of “Night Riders” and others responsible 
for the burning of cotton and cotton gins 
in the Southern States will he instituted 
if an investigation ordered October 12 
discloses violation of any Federal laws. 
Department of Justice agents have been 
instructed to investigate and report im¬ 
mediately instances where Federal laws 
appear to have Imen violated. In most 
cases, officials believe matters alleged have 
constituted crimes only under State laws, 
but the investigation was ordered when 
it was indicated there might have been 
interference with shipments in interstate 
commerce. 
Federal immigration officials are going 
to make a determined effort to direct the 
great streams of foreigners now pouring 
into this country to sections where labor 
is needed and away from the congested 
districts and cities where the new ar¬ 
rivals cannot hope to find work, and only 
add new danger to situations already bad. 
Carrying out. this idea. Commissioner 
Frederick R. Wallis of the Ellis Island 
Immigration Station announced October 
12 the appointment of P. A. Donohue as 
director of immigration distribution. He 
outlined plans winch have been approved 
by the Department of Labor for minimiz¬ 
ing the evils of immigration. The inten¬ 
tion at present is to direct immigrants 
away from cities to farms. Careful dis¬ 
tribution of the thousands of foreigners 
arriving daily at Ellis Island, officials 
believe, will tend to prevent some of the 
trouble resulting from the existing sys¬ 
tem of letting the immigrant shift for 
himself. Mr. Donohue will confer with 
officials of all States and cities who either 
wish immigrant labor or wish to keep 
out the new arrivals. The Federal au¬ 
thorities will operate under Section 30 of 
the Immigration Law. which provides 
for “beneficial distribution of aliens" 
among the several States. The officials 
cannot compel the aliens to go to any 
locality, but can make suggestions.

5.000 cows to Germany to obtain cargo 
acc in vessels to send the cattle across 
e Atlantic. The Interallied Maritime 
inn! announced that it. was unable to 
pply the tonnage required. The Red 
•oss officials estimate that _the ocean 
•ight charge will average $o0 a head, 
bile no restrictions are placed upon the 
eed of cows needed, it is pointed out 
at IIolsteins more rapidly acclimate 
cm selves, as that is the predominant 
eed in Germany. _ ,, 
Through closing up the Governments 
ir-time operations in the wool market, 
e Department of Agriculture reported 
•tober 8 the sum of $460,060 has he¬ 
me available for distribution to some 
fO.OOO producers who grew the 1J1J

alers who bought the wool under Gov- 
nmeut supervision and were required 
- regulations to return excess profits 
ado in the process to the growers. 
Unless the price of bituminous coal 
kes a sudden drop, the Iowa farmers 
ill use a large percentage of this >eui s 
rn crop for fuel, says J. R- Ilpwaid,
