new HISTORY
AND DICTIONARY

Montgomery American History was
adopted for use in the borough schools
Monday at a joint meeting of teach
ers and directors, which took place
Just prior to the regular session.
The following members of the board
were present: Burns, Orth, Swarts,
Pursel, Fish, Fischer, Lutz, Trum-
bower, Heiss and Grone. Miss Ben
netts, Miss Pritchard, Miss James and
Miss Gallagher representing the sixth
grade were also present.
Mr.. Pursel reported that the COM
mittee on text books had examined
Barnes Montgomery and McMaster's
Histories and found points of merit
about each. He suggested that the
teachers present express their views
concerning the relative merits of the
books. In accordance with his request
each of the teachers indulged in few
remarks, unanimously recommending
Montgomery History, specifying in
what respects it eXcels the other two
books.
On motion of Mr.. Fischer it was de-
cided to order one bundled copies OF
Montgomery American History for
use in the sixth grade of the schools.
On motion the joint meeting ad-
journed. The teachers retired and the
board went into regular session, after
which DR.. Harpel joined the school

Mr.. Fischer of the building and re-
pair committee reported the repairs on
the borough schools as progressing
nicely. A few additional repairs were
recommended, among them being a
general overhauling of the desks and
the seats in Miss Bennetts' room in
the third ward.
On motion of Mr.. Orth the supply
committee was authorized to purchase
supplies to the value of about forty
dollars for use in the chemical depart
ment, taught by Mr.. d. N. Dieffen-
bacher
The matter of lead pencil sharpener,
brought up before the board at the
previous meeting, came up again
for further consideration. A lead pen
Gil sharpener was on hand at the meet
ing for examination. 1t was given
trial and fully considered when it
seemed to be the consensus of opinion
among the directors that, while very
useful device for an office, lead pen

apt to beco:re nuisance. No action
was taken in the matter.
On motion of Mr.. Orth it was order
ed that the text book committee be
authorized to purchase five Imperial
dictionaries for use in the schools.
Applications were received from
Miss Verna M. Reed and Miss Emma
Youngman for positions as pupil teach
ers. Superintendent Gordy recommend
ed both the young ladies. Miss Reed
being graduate of the local high
school and Miss Youngman graduate
of Park College. On motion of Mr.

Drop PeWaukee.

The Pewaukee apple originated near
Pewaukee, Wis, and obtained it's
name from that place. Being a Wis
consin apple, the Wisconsin fruit
growers, being very ambitious to put
new varieties of apples on the mar
ket, pushed it more vigorously than
it should have been pushed. Their
State Society too quickly passed upon
it's merits. Other societies taking the
decision of the Wisconsin society for
their standard advocated the growing
of the Pewaukee. Nurserymen all
over the West began to grow it, be-
lieving it to be one of the best fruits.
Now they are discarding it, having
found that it is inferior in certain re-
spects to many of our other apples.
1t is in every sense a very poor
keeper. Orchardists that have grown
the Pewaukee in considerable quanti-
ties say that they would not again
grow it and are advising their friends
to leave it alone. In Wisconsin many
Of the fruit growers are raising their
voices against it. The fact that the
apple will not keep should be enough
to condemn it. While there are other
valuable fruits that may be grown
there is no use wasting time upon the
Pewaukee, which has no virtues in
the way of long keeping or high flavor
or good looks.

Timber on the Forest Reserves.

TIMBER on the Forest Reserves.
Information comes from Washington
that the mature timber on the Ma
tlonal forest reserves is to be offered
for sale. This announcement is in
line with the declared purpose of the
department of Agriculture to develop
the National forest reserves by use.
The restriction formerly laid upon the
export of timber from the states in
which the forest reserves were To-
Gated has been removed, and the law
now places no limitation on the ship
ment of timber grown on any forest
Idaho and the Black Hills Reserve in
South Dakota. The effect of this
change in the law, and the declared
policy of the Department of Agricul-
ture, is that the timber on the re-
serves may row be cut and disposed
of to the highest bidder On many of
the reserves there are great quanti-
ties of mature timber, and on some of
them the facilities for getting it out
at a reasonable cost are excellent.
The Forest Service, which has charge
of the administration of the reserves,
is anxious to begin the cutting of this
mature timber as soon as possible,
and it is prepared to consider offers
from lumbermen who wish to under
take such operations.
1t is perhaps well to call attention
to the fact that this announcement
does NOT mean fh at the forest reserves
are going to be devastated under au-
thority of the government. On the
contrary, the distinct and definite pur-
pose of the Forest Service is to i'm
prove the reserves by utilizing the
material that is now fit for lumber.
In doing so, it will also provide for
the reproduction of the forest and
the restocking of those areas upon
which forest conditions are defective.

THE PATRIOTISM
OF THE JONESES
BY III. G. PEARSON

Copyright, 1905, by Daily Story Publishing Co.
When Henry Jones and his brother,
Luther, were elected to the state
house of representatives from adjoin-
ing districts, the same year, the occur
renee was not deemed remarkable in
any way.
Arriving at the state capital the
night before the party caucus, Henry
and Luther chose a modest room
which they would occupy together in
a quiet boarding house on side
street. Therein they sat themselves
down to consider the future
Lutte" said Henry, the elder bro
Their, to his junior, I've been thinkin'
over this legislative business consid-
cradle since got elected, and the
more l think the more scared l am
that I'll make burned fool of myself
here this session. Hain't felt that way
yourself any, hev We, Lute?"
yep" assented Luther with brew
| ity, and waited for his brother to con-
tinue.
"Mebbe you and l don't know SO
hmuch as some folks, Lutte" his bro
Their went on, "but we do know that
there's two sides to every question,
right side and wrong one Now, my
| idee is this: That whenever it comes
to vote on anything I'll go one way
and you go the other So one of us
Is bound to vote right. That wipes
out the other mans wrong vote and
leaves the state just as we'll off as
though it didn't have us two numb
heads on it's hands for three months
See?"
Lutte saw and approved; and the
next day at the party caucus the
scheme was tried and worked to
charm.
Henry and Luther were satisfied in
their honest belief that what they
| were doing was for the best. And the
history of their legislative careers
might have ended without an incident
had it not been for the Black Noun
tain Merger Bill.
It is not necessary for the purposes
of this narrative to describe the
Merger Bill in detail Or to discuss it's
merits. Suffice it to say that one cor
porate interest, very powerful in the
state, earnestly desired the passage
of the bill; while another great cor
poration was just as earnestly op-
posed.
The lobbyists swarmed upon the
scene, drawn to the state capital like
flies to jug of molasses. There was
open corruption and secret intrigue
Plots were laid and contemplated.
Every string was pulled, every lever
pressed. every argument used, every
weakness played upon, every dark
place threatened, in order to secure
votes upon one side or the other.
And when at last it came to vote
Henry Jones voted no and Luther
Jones voted yes, and there was a tie.
The speaker could not vote, being
director in the Black Mountain Rail-
road, and the result was a deadlock
Then the fury of the fight was re-
doubled. Here the Mergers stole a
man by giving his son a $4,000 year
Office. But the Anti-Mergers retail
ated at less expense by pointing out
to a Eyes" member that it was his
son who ought to have had the place.
The Mergers kidnapped an Anti and
sent him to sea in a cattle boat The
Ants arranged with the family physi-
clan of a Eyes" member to declare
that his patient would not live the
winter through in this climate and to
pack him off to Florida.
None of these attacks was directed

get away from me now
Eyes, Henry" assentel Luther,
''but you're breakin' our agreement.
and that don't seem just right to me,
especially as that farm don't benefit
me none"
Henry's assent was prompt You're
right, Luther" said he. LAS an hon
orable man and lovin' brother
dom want to break that agreement,
and it seems like to me as though
wouldn't have to. Now I've been vot-
ing mo- on this bill all the time, but
after listenin' to candid and convincin'
arguments from the other side l feel
that l was wrong and ought to vote
yes Well, then 1 have been mis-
taken all along, maybe you have, also;
and without attemptin' to influence
you in any way, Luther, ! would ad-
wise to be liberal and hear both
Sides"
And so it happened that the next
day Luther Jones strolled casually
by the Red Lion Inn, the headquarters
of the Anti-Mergerites. Nothing more
natural than he should see within an
old friend from a distant part Of the
state and enter to greet him.
Said friend, an amateur lobbyist,
soon arranged for an interview be-

Opening Up Apple Trees.


Mr.. S. G.. Soverhill, a well known
fruit grower of Illinois, has an orchard
that will pay any man to visit. Any
one looking over that orchard will be
struck by the great thriftiness Of the
trees and the bright color seen on the
bark of young trees. Mr.. SOverhill
says that this is due to the fact that
he has Opened up" as he calls it.,
the trees. That is, he has cut out
the inside top branches and left, as
it were, narrow bowl in the top
from the trunk upwards. In ordinary
trees the central stem is allowed to
grow straight up with multitude of
These always interfere with the gath
ering of the fruit, and the fruit borne
on these inside branches is generally
of poor color and relatively small, as
the more fruit a tree bears the
smaller will the fruit be. Mr..
Soverhill has cut out these branches
and has let the sun in to color his
fruit. AS he has reduced the bearing
wood of the tree, the fruit that is
left grows to a larger size than it
would. This open place on the inside
of the tree he finds very useful at
picking time. A man can get into
this place, hang his basket or picking
bag on one of the limbs, and do his
picking very rapidly. Also, when
spraying time comes the man who
holds the nozzle that throws the spray
can get up into this place and thus
thoroughly spray every portion of the
tree. This makes perfect work pos
sible. We believe this process of
opening apple trees can be followed
to good dvantage.-Farmers' Review.
