PARCELS POST NEEDED.

the SYSTEM

The Grange an Earnest Advocate of
the System.
The national grange has placed itself
of the parcels post for this country,
but as urging every possible effort
among the subordinate oranges to
make their influence felt on congress
concerning the desirability of the sys-
TEN. AS a new congress is to be elect
ed this fall, the preceding campaign
will offer a good opportunity for the
people to find out how the congression-
al candidates stand on this question.
1t is a good time for the farmer to
make his wants known.
The Rural New Yorker we'll says
that we shall never have in this coun-
try a satisfactory parcels post until
the farmers understand what it will
mean for them and demand it. We
well remember how slow and indiffer
ent many farmers were when the ques-
ton of rural delivery came up. The
only thing that could win these farm
ers over was the service itself in sue
cessful operation. When they saw the
convenience of having their mail
brought to them each day they were
converted, forgot their former opposi-
ton and became the strongest workers
for rural free delivery. 1t will be just
the same with this demand for a par
cells post Many already feel the need
of it, but still more do not yet under
stand how it will benefit them. When
this point is made clear they will join
in a rush that cannot be resisted. The
history of the ELECTROMAGNETIC legis-
lation shows what can be done by ed
ucating the people and pointing out
clearly how their rights are invaded.

MATTED ROW SYSTEM OF PLANTING.

lows ample space for cultivation and
gathering the fruit. This space can be
reduced from 80 inches to as little as
Is inches where land is valuable and it
is necessary to secure maximum re-
turns. On thin soil, however, the great
er distance is most satisfactory. There
is one advantage in the narrow culti-
waited space. After the second crop has
been harvested the runners can be al
lowed to take possession Of the cult
waited middle, and when the plants be-
come thoroughly established the origi-
nal rows can be broken up with mar
row turning plow or a sharp cultivator.
In this way patch can be very salts
factorily and cheaply renewed.

DOES AN EDUCATION PAY?

Does it pay an acorn to become an
oak?
Does it pay to escape being a rich
ignoramus?
Does it pay to fit oneself for SUI
perior position?
Does it pay to open little wider the
door Of narrow life?
Does 1t pay to learn to make life a
glory instead of a grind?
Does it pay to add power to the lens
Of the microscope or telescope?
Does it pay to taste the exhilaration
Of feeling ones powers unfold?
Does It pay to know how to take the
dry. dreary drudgery out Of life?

How They May Cooperate With Adj
vantage to Both.
An instance of the school co-operat-
ing with the grange in the exercises of
lecturers hour was given recently at
the Chatham On. " grange. The sub
ject was Mature Study In the Public
Schools" One of the teachers, who is a
member of the grange, asked the prin-
cipal of the school to have each teacher
in the grammar and high school de-
partments select two pupils from her
grade who were most proficient in ma
ture studies to assist her in practical
discussion and illustration of the sub
ject at a meeting of the grange. All
gladly co-operated, and about twenty
FIVE of the pupils were present at the
grange session. Even two little tots
from the kindergarten department
showed by the tiny plants which they
had grown in eggshells and brought
with them how their teacher had in
instructed them in nature study before
they really knew what nature study
meant, and in their own words they
briefly told about the seeds and plants
and the process of growth. From the
kindergarten to the high school the
topic was discussed in short essays by
the children, and nicely mounted speci-
mems of woods, grains, feathers, silks,
etc., illustrated how the children were
gaining practical knowledge Of many
of the common things of life under the
name of nature study. 1t is a good
thing for grange and school thus to
work together.

Alfalfa as siIage.

AS a silage crop alfalfa was put into
the silo at the Kansas experiment sta
ton at less cost per ton than any other
crop. Cane and kaffir cora gave the
largest yields of any of the annual
crops, and the cost per ton of SLIDING
these crops was less than the cost of
SLIDING corn Corn ranked second il
yield of silage and cowpeas third. Corn
and cowpeas grown together. in drill
rows and cultivated made good silage,
and this combination will Also make
excellent dry forage.

Renewing the Strawberry Red.

Strawberry beds may be maintained
almost indefinitely by layering one or
two runners from each thrifty plant
after fruiting and cutting out the par
ent plant when they are well estab-
lished 1t requires some labor and
careful culture to keep up a bed in this
way, but, according to Rural New
Yorker, it is often more profitable than
to buy new plants every season.

1t is list that any dairyman may con-

I We do not consider that we know
everything about buttermaking, as
something new is being discovered
every month. Not only from our own
work are we continually learning, but
also from the observation and research
of others.
| We do not keep cow that makes
less than 200 pounds of butter year.
We do not put the dry COW on a
starvation ration.
We do not expect a COW to make
something of nothing.
We do not keep our cows in an ice
house, hogpen or dungeon.
We do not allow them to go whole
year without carding or brushing them.
We do not depend on pasture alone
for a supply of summer food.
We do not allow the milk to stand
very long in the stable to absorb foul
odors.
We do not mix sweet cream with
cream to be churned less than twelve
hours before churning. The cream is
ripened in one vessel, which holds the
cream for a whole ehurning
We do not add scalding water to the
cream nor take two or three hours to
churn.
We do not gather the butter till the
''dasher stands on top" and then dip it
out of the buttermilk.
We do not add coarse salt by guess
nor work the butter into grease.
We do not neglect to strain the milk
at once after milking.
We do not send our butter to market

We noted the old wrecking process
Of logging and burning in full opera
ton during a recent trip through the
timbered sections of Missouri 1t looked
wicked to see hundreds Of cords of
good wood rolled into piles and burn
ing up when through so much OF the
country the same wood would sell Tor
So cord. But these settlers must
have land on which to grow crops, for
they cannot live on bark and sawdusf,
and. being far removelfrom a wood
market, there is nothing for them to
do but to log and burn.
Roast beef may be said to be almost
as standard an American dish as it is

guide: Thirteen minutes to the pound
and thirteen minutes for the oven will
give what is known as rare cooked
meat fifteen minutes to the pound
and fifteen minutes for the oven will
give a medium cooked roast, and TWEEN

CROW D WHITES
FROM SCHOOLS
Pressing Need for Separate
Classes for instruction
of Many japanese Pupils
MORE MONEY REQUIRED
Law Forbids Exclusion Of
Mongolians to the Detri-
ment of White Children
MORE MONEY REQUIRED

The question Of the coeducation OF
white and Mongolian children in the
public schools was again the subject
of debate at the. regular meeting or
the Board of Education yesterday. The
pressing need of a separate class or q
separate school for the instruction Of
Japanese and the lack of funds to
meet that need were the subjects OF
a resolution asking the Board. OF Su-
pervisors to act at once.
The resolution declares that the al
ready overtaxed accommodations OF
the public schools are being further
taken up by the Japanese pupils, Of
ten to the enforced exclusion of white
children. Under the opinion rendered
by the City Attorney the board is
obliged to allow the comingling of
whites and Mongolians until separ-
ate school for Japanese shall be estab-
lished
The board, in it's resolution. says that
it is deplorable that white children
should be excluded from the schools
because of the necessity of receiving
Japanese pupils and equally deplora
bic that white children and Mongolians
should be educated together in the
public schools. Many of the japanese
in the grammar grades are youths OF
eighteen to twenty years of age and
these are in the same classrooms and
often sit in the same Seats with white
girls and boys of tender age.
Mrs. f.. M. North presented a petit
tion to the board to be retired as a
teacher in order that sne may avail
herself of the Teachers Annuity and
Retirement Fund. Her request was
granted. with the provision that the
board is not liable in any way for the
payment of the money.
Leaves of absence were granted Miss
Frances Greenhood and Mrs. Frances
A Banning. Miss Julia Coffey was
transferred from the Parental School
to class in the Hamilton School and
Miss j. G. Maher of the Franklin
School was transferred to the Parental
School.

WHITMAN GIVES
VENT TO ANGER
Conduct of Police at Re-
cent Confiagration Criti-
cized by the Fire Board

The alleged inefficient management of
the detail of police by Lieutenant Hen
ry H. Colby at the big fire on Howard
street on the evening of September 5,
when Chief Whitman publicly rebuked
him, has called forth the following sug
gestion from the Board of Fire Com
missioners to Chief Whitman:
Upon the recommendation of the act
ing chief engineer of this department
we respectfully suggest that you cause
an order to be made to your subordi-
mates to the effect that whenever fire
of any magnitude occurs the street or
streets on which any streams are work.
ing be roped off at the crossings of the
main streets on each side Of the fire,
and that all intervening streets be
closed, either by ropes or by officers
stationed in them, as these arrange
ments would greatly facilitate the
workings of this department at such
fires"
The Chief in referring to this commu-
nication in the police bulletin issued
yesterday says:
II the commanding officers Of police at fires
there would be no occasion for communications
OF this sort. I much surprised ar
riving at the scene Of a large fire on Howard
street, between Seventh and Eighth. on the
5th inst, to md the police lines stretched be-
tween the burning buildings and the fire ap-
raratrs. OF course the people who were at
tracted by the fire crowded up against the
lines and thus the hremen compelled to
lose considerable time in forcing their way
through the crowds to set to their apparatus
for needed articles, ladders. etc.
A mere novice in police business should
know that the police lines should be stretched
behind the fire apparatus and not in front
and that the space between the fire and the
location of the fire engines, trucks. hose
wagons. etc. must be kept clear so that the
fremen can have free access to them.
1t is hoped that all members OF the Police
Department Q4ieutenant Colby in particularly
will bear this in mind and act accordingly in
the future.

ATTORNEY CITED
FOR DISBAR MENT
Frank Schilling Must Show
Why He Should Not Be De-
MED Right to Practice

Attorney Frank Schilling has been
cited by Judge Hunt of the Superior
Court to appear week from to-day
to show cause why he should not be
suspended from practice or perma-
nently disbarred for unprofessidnal
conduct.
Schilling represented Mrs. Dina
Smith in divorce proceedings before
Judge Hunt. At the conclusion of
the hearing Judge Hunt granted her
that the defendant in the action, An
drew Smith, pay Mrs. Smith $45 d
month alimonyf for the support of
herself and minor child.
A few days ago Mrs. Smith in
formed Judge Hunt. that her former
husband had paid into Schilling's
hands $40 on the alimony account.
but that Schilling refused to give her
more than $10, retaining the balance
as counsel fees. Judge Hunt. being
aware -of the unfortunate plight OF
the young mother, instructed Schilling
that he must pay Mrs. Smith the sum
that had been placed in his hands.
Schilling was given until yesterday to
comply with the order. Yesterday af-
ternoon Mrs. Smith again visited
Judge Hunt and informed him that
oSHiiiilS refused 10 Obey the OTueT on
the claim that he was entitled to the
sum retained.
Judge Hunt thinks differently. I'm
der his instruction Mrs Smith signed
an affidavit setting forth the facts as
stated and upon this the citation di-
recting Schilling to show cause was
issued. The citation sets forth that
Schilling has violated his oath and
duties as an attorney in taking his
arbitrary stand against his unfortun-
ate client. Full and satisfactory ex-
planation will alone save him from
disbarment.
