LAST HONORS PAID
DEAD NAVAL HERO
Remains of Paul Jones Are Placed in
Bancroft Hall at ARRapOiS--TW0
Nations Represented.
An Annapolis special says:


Reverently attended by the
official head of the nation he
loved and served so well. by the
ambassadorial representative of
the land in which he died, by the
chief executive of the State be-
meath whose sod his bones viii
find their final resting place. by
naval representatives Of the Uni
ted States and France and by
thousands Of men and women Of
the United States and France
and by thousands of men and
women of the country whose
first admiral he was, the remains
of John Paul Jones were placed
in the crypt beneath the grand
marble stairway of the Bancroft
Hall, there to resi- until the COM
pletion Of the chapel in which
they are 10 be deposited.
Crowds, such as Annapolis
has not known for many years,
if ever before, lined the streets
and stood expeetantly about the
road station long before the train
bearing President Roosevelt.
Mrs. Roosevelt, members of the
cabinet, the French Ambassador
and a large number of distin-
guished naval officers and civil
was expected.
The casket containing the re-
mains of the long dead admiral
had been removed from the tenn
porary vault in which il he's
rested since being brought
from France and deposited in
the new armory of the naval
academy. There it was placed a
little to the right of the center,
in front of the speakers stand.
President Roosevelt, Secretary
of the Navy Bonaparte and Gov.
Warfield delivered addresses be-
fore ar audience of about 10, 600
people.
The audience rose and remain
ed standing while body bearers
selected from among the petty
officers Of the United States and
French warships lifted the casket
and bore it from the armory.
Just outside it was placed upon
a truck, drawn by long lines of
sailors and the procession moved
slowly toward Bancroft Hall.
Cavalrymen, marines, sailors and
midshipmen lined the route pre-
arms as the bier was
borne past.
When the casket had been
placed beneath the stairway
where it is to rest under constant
guard, Chaplain Clark said a
brief prayer and the ceremonies
were at an end.

HE DID NOT SIGN
Another Bill is Held Up By
The Governor.

1t has just been brought to
light that senate bill No. 140 was
not signed prior to the Legislative
adjournment, but is still pending
in the governors office, and will,
therefore, be imperative during
the next two years.
This bill seeks to prevent the
revenue agent from back assess
ing money on deposit, and was
passed in the two houses with
very diss enting votes. In fact,
it was accepted by the house in
the way of a compromise while
the big fight was in progress
over the six per cent exemption
proposition, the senate agreeing
to allow the house TO eliminate
the clause which exempted money
loaned at six per cent or less,
and which had been inadvertent-
ly left in the code chapter on
revenue, if the lower body would
pass S. B. No. Il depriving the
revenue agent of the power 10
assess for delinquent taxes
money on deposit.
The lower house readily agreed
to these terms and the bill went
to the governor for approval, but
the latter official, for some reason
as yet unexplained, did not re-
turn it either with veto or approx
al prior to adjournment. The
revenue agent therefore still has
the power to assess money on
deposit, power, however that
he rarely, if ever, exercised, for
he has no means of ascertain
ing from the banking institutions
of the state the names of their
depositors and the amount OF
money they have On deposit

ANOTHER SHOT FIRED
AT FRANKLIN ACADEMY
"OId Timer" Strikes Hsag Blow At
Limited Facilities Offered At That
Great School Of Learning.
Mr.. EDITOR:

Mr.. EDITOR:
have kept my "hands off, of
the Franklin Academy matter as
long as I can, ana only come in
to the discussion now in order
that the subject may be kept be-
fore the public eye in a manner
in which it should.
Before commenting upon the
conditions existing at the acade-
my I have given consideration to
the argument advanced against
the unsanitary and inadequate
facilities offered to the children
who are forced to huddle togeth-
er as a herd Of sheep under a small
shelter to keep out of the bad
weather. In my estimation it is
inhumane to permit the little ones
20 be subjected to treatment
which they are forced through
the city to stand. The response
bility for such 4 state Of affairs
is directly due to the city coun-
Gil, and to them the disgrace Of
such existence is due. The peo-
pie by their votes have selected
men to guard their interests and
protect the city's property. They
are the judges Of what is most
needed and within tteir power
lies the remedy. No doubt there
are some of the city officials who
are afraid to tackle the under
taking of relieving the crowded
school house, either by addition
or the building Of anoth er ouse,
for the reason that some arrow
minded individual might CRY un-
necessary extravaganza and
their chances OF re-electioa be
hampered by such a cry. They
want to delay the matter until
the next board comes into I ower,
and throw the burden or their
shoulders. If it is a mista % on
their part they will have to bear
it, and not those seeking TO re-
tain an office. A movement along
the line of righting these awful
conditions will soon have to be-
gin and the sooner the better.
Mr.. Howard Marshall's appeal in
last Wednesdays issue Of THE
COMMERCIAL to the mothers of
Columbus was timely and we'll
written, but men who care not
for the needs of the little folks
viii hardly be touched by the ap-
peal of womanhood.
Let every one in the city raise
their voice in a cry for an i'm
provement at the Franklin Ac-
ademy, and by their votes re-
member those who have caused
such conditions to exist, and
likewise reward those who are
endeavoring to place the children
in spacious and healthy quarters.

BOUNTY ON oRuBs IN FRANCE.
How Some Communities Encourage
determination Of Pest.

II is rather remarkable that any
people should offer bounty fn
the collection of white grubs, but
this is what some communities in
France have done for years past.
A bounty of from 10 to 20 confines
per kilogram of white grubs was
the reward for gathering that kind
of pest. The statistics show that
in six years the collections amount
cd to 462,911 kilograms. The
number of white grubs required to
equal a kilogram is about 1900. This
means that about five hundred mil
lions of the white grubs were thus
collected. 1t has been discovered,
however, says Farmers Review, that
the large quantities of money re-
CURED make it quite impossible to
carry on the work in this manner.
Furthermore it requires a great deal
OF devotion on the part of the col
lectors to be thorough in the work,
as, when the grubs become scarce, it
does not pay to hunt them, and most
collectors will then abandon the
work, leaving the remaining grubs to
develop into insects that will be a
source of further colonies of~grubs.

ROOT PRUNING TREES.
Should Not Be Done Unless Growth
of Trees Is to Be Checked.

Root pruning of trees is to be ad-
eised against unless the checking of
the growth of the trees is desired.
Many of our farmers have unwilling
~ root pruned their trees every year
by deep blowing or deep spading. To
cut off the ends Of the roots is to
greatly interfere with the growth of
the trees. To put plow into an old
orchard and plow between the trees
is to do an amount of root pruning
that will check the growth of the trees
for two years. A young orchard would
begin to recover more quickly, but
even young orchard should not re-
ceive that kind of treatment Deep
blowing in the orchard Is allowable
only when the trees are so small that
their roots have not yet reached into
the area plowed.
1t must be remembered, says the
Farmers Review, that the root
hairs that collect the plant food from
the soil are mostly on the outer ends
of the roots. They were abundant on
the roots near the trees once, but
have ceased to grow there as the
roots elongated. If these are cut off,
it is evident that the power of the
root system to gather food will be
greatly curtailed. While the after eff
fects of root pruning are sometimes to
increase fruitfulness for time, it is
doubtful If the aggregate fruitfulness
is increased.
In the case of old orchards the up
per six inches of soil has become
filled with roots, If blowing has not
been done while the fruit trees were
growing. To pillow such an orchard
is to render it of little value for some
years, and 1t is doubtful If old trees
will ever recover from the shock.

Churnina Temperatures.

In determining the temperature at
which cream can be churned to the
best advantage, much depends on the
sourness and richness of the cream.
A higher temperature can be used in
churning 20 per cent. cream than in
churning 80 to 40 per cent. cream. A
lower temperature is required in
churning rich cream to avoid an ex-
cessive loss of fat. If 20 per cent.
cream is churned at temperature of
SO degrees, it will swell in the churn
instead of breaking. Cream of So per
cent. or more can be churned in tenn
