So do you think it any wonder that the 
Japanese boy and I are celebrating before 
this fire while little Rose eats her apple? 
It would be wise for you to draw up 
with us and eat a Baldwin or two. We 
might well afford to open a bottle of that 
Allis apple juice to celebrate this moment¬ 
ous occasion. So we sit here and look at 
each other. T think I know what this re¬ 
turn of the roses means, and it will do 
the Japanese boy good if he can puzzle it 
out in nis own way. It is still raining 
outside. This warm weather makes me 
very apprehensive. I notice the buds on 
the crab apple starting. I wish the cold 
had hung on, as it did last year. But 
say. suppose we forget all about that to¬ 
night. Come on. let's go up for a while 
and see how the “grippy" children are 
coming along. I'll carry Rose and you 
can walk. I think I would prefer not t<> 
listen to any “tale of woe” tonight. I 
could if need be tell a few that would 
discount any you have in mind, but not 
with this little black head where it is. 
Are we to keep Rose now? I do not 
know—she is right here now and that an¬ 
swers for the present.

A Face on the Screen 
Tn a well-known show the picture of 
my grandfather is shown repeatedly, also 
in a close-up. and again is used in the 
program. lie looks the part of a retired 
farmer, and I suppose that is why he is 
filmed. I am told that the manager has 
no legal right to use his picture, and that 
ho can collect damages. What is your 
impression? Rather small business, but 
my relatives asked my opinion, so I am 
passing the quiz on to you. c. w. n. 
Are you sure it is your grandfather? 
Tt may be a case of mistaken identity. 
We have printed pictures in The R. N.-Y. 
and had people insist that their friends 
or relatives were shown. Tn one case a 
picture of an old man husking corn was 
printed. A woman was sure it was her 
father, but investigation showed that she 
was mistaken. Not long ago we printed 
an apple-picking scene. A New York 
woman was sure that one of the men 
shown was her son, while a farmer says 
it is his old hired man. A Vermont 
woman feels sure that a woman in one 
of our pictures is a person who ran off 
with her husband. Can you prove legal¬ 
ly that your grandfather is shown in 
this film? Tf so, can you prove that this 
showing is any serious damage to him? 
Tf lie has been photographed, of course, hi* 
will know it. The manager would have 
no legal right to show his picture without 
your grandfather’s permission, but it 
would be a job to prove damages unless 
the picture holds him tip to ridicule. We 
have heard of one case where an adver¬ 
tiser of patient medicines printed the pic¬ 
ture of a young woman without her per¬ 
mission. She sued and obtained damages. 
Vandervere Apple and Honey Sweet 
Raspberry 
1. Can you give me any information 
about the Vandervere apple? This is an 
old variety of apple of which I would like 
to get some trees, but am unable to find it 
listed in any catalog. 2. Would also like 
to know about the new “Honey Sweet” 
blackcap. Is this a better variety than 
the Cumberland and Plum Farmer? 
Chester, N. Y. J. L. 
1. There are two apples called Vander¬ 
vere. The old Vandervere of New York 
is the Newtown Spitzenburg, a medium- 
sized apple with deep yellow ground color 
and dull red cheek and stripes. It is in 
season from early Winter until April 1. 
It is not a very reliable cropper. The 
Smokehouse is also called Vandervere and 
is supposed to be a seedling of the old 
Vandervere of Delaware and Pennsyl¬ 
vania. It is a pleasantly flavored dessert 
apple, being in season from October until 
February or March. This apple is a re¬ 
liable cropper. The first-named apple, 
namely, the Newtown Spitzenburg. has 
been seen by the writer in Orange Co., N. 
Y„ under the name of Vandervere. It 
should not be confused with Esopus 
Spitzenburg. 
2. The Honey Sweet blackcap is sup¬ 
posed to be a seedling of Plum Farmer or 
Gregg. As a grower I should wait until 
the experiment stations test the new va¬ 
riety or varieties before planting them 
heavily. We have not had any fruit as 
yet. as the plant came on the market only 
last year. When a fruit has been tested 
and its worth proven it is plenty of time 
to set the same extensively. T. H. T.

reads like this: “If ‘Eggo’ don’t make 
your liens lay —they’re roosters.”—Credit

STAR EQUIPMENT 
Doesn’t Cost Money 
nonl "" 1 
STAR EQUIPMENT doesn’t cost money— 
— because —it makes money for the man whose herd is housed in Star Stalls. 
Healthier cows— cows that give more milk—less work for you and the hired hands to do—don’t those things 
represent more money in your pocket? 
Well, that s what the STAR KQUfPPED barn means. Dairymen who 
have housed herds the old way and the modern way—the STAR way— 
say that the equipment pays for itself the first year it’s in or soon after. 
It isn’t a question of whether or not you can afford it—the question is can 
you afford to be without it? 
Soon Pays for Itself 
On every item of STAR Equipment, you’ll find patented features, exclusive with 
this line that mean added convenience, longer life, labor saving and money making. 
And there isn t a thing for the 
barn that isn’t in the STAR Cata¬ 
log in the best form imaginable.
