LINCOLN, Sept. 14--While the purely agricultural display at the Nebraska state fair was a wonderful collection of corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, grasses and the like, probably the memory of the frult display will linger longer in the minds of the visitors as the really big thing of the falr. With over 6000 plates of frult, mostly apples of different kinds, with a smaller assortment of pears, grapes and like fruit, nothing quite to compare with it was ever before seen in the west. Fruit Growers Active. Ot course the Central Fruit Growers' | association must be given credit for the largest dlspley, for it contatned the dis- plays of members of the assoclation, as well as the assoclation itself. Marshall Bros. of Arlington, E. M. Pollard of Ne- {hawka, G. H. Christy of Johnson, Val Kieser of Otoe county; O. J. aLthrop of | Brownville, L. H. Bauman of Valentine, | {C. H. Barnard of Table Rock, H. A. Mo- {Comb of North Platte and Christy George |of Butler county, and a few others had ! excellent individual displays in the dif- | | terent classes as well as some of them | furnishing parts of the display of the | | association. G. N, Titus of Nemaha had eight boxes of apples packed in the latest approved method, the apples ranging from the |common size up to the large ones which weighed nearly a pound each. Late Apples Light Or The association is preity well swplied iwltn apples this year and has at the present time about 300 car loads of bulk | apples ready for the market. The early apples were an abundant crop, but, ac- cording to members of the association, the late apples will not be as abundant. | The apple crop in localities outside of | | Nebraska, where the shipments have ! been heavy, will not be up to the standard | this year, because of light crops, acoord- ing to Information coming to the asso- clation. The assoclation intends to follow out | this year the system started last season | of giving Nebraska people the first call on Nebraska apples, instead of letting | |the eastern speculators come in and carry off the cream of the orchards, leaving local people to take the culls or buy from Colorado, Oregon and Wash~ ington. The plan panned out to well |last year that it will be continued this year and Nebraska people who desire to get the real Nebraska apple can get in commumication with any of the apple growers, or with the assoclation at Ne- braska City.

LUTHERANS AYOID PEACE PROPAGANDA o ¥ General Council Says it is Not Poliocy of the Church to Influence Governments. BOOKS OF WORSHIP REVISED ROCK ISLAND, Til., Sept. 14.—~Re- fusal of President T. E. Schmauk to act in common with other American denominations in an appeal for peace | to the governments of Europe was| strongly endorsed in resolutions adopted today by the general council of the Lutheran church of North, America. Dr. Schmauk, when ap- pealed to by other churches to par- ticipate in the plea to the European powers, took the stand that “in con- trast with the action of the Roman Catholle church, it is not the polley of the Lutheran church to participate in politios or to take action looking toward the influencing of govern- ments.” It was also resolved that “the counsel laments the trials, dangers, tribulations | and manifold sorrows, which the ravages | g 500000, The indirect losses due to in- of the terrible war in Europe have oaused, | and expresses the hope that God may hasten the day when the blessing of universal peace shall again descend upon suffering humanity.” Books of Worship Revised, The report of the church book com- mittee announced that the work of revis- ing the English books of worship in the Lutheran churches had been completed after many years' work, and it tribute largely toward a united English Lutherism America.
