FAIR PLAY IN THE SCHOOLS.
CUEsrNur RIDGE. September 28d, Il

CHESTNUT RIDGE, September 23d, 1vUI.
Messrs. Editors I'm looking over the field up
here find there are two schools-one is closed
and the other is opened. In answer to my ques-
ton, "Why is this school closed 2" was told
that there were not enough children to keep up
the required average, and other influences De-
ing exerted in the neighborhood.
know of forty-two children who live within
a mile of Columbia school-house that would at
tend it if it were opened. The parents OF these
children refuse to allow them to DO taken to
Carroll school for many reasons Some are
compelled to ride from two to three miles and
wait on cross roads, shivering and crying V4sH
cold in the winter months. know Personally
of children who had their little fingers and feet
frostbitten, and one of these was compelled to
leave home at the early hour of seven in the
morning in order to give the driver sufficient
time to meet the other children, causing that
child to ride from one to two hours.
The wagon has been running two weeks car
rying on an average each school day five s,il-
dren. The distance this year is greater
ever, because of one of our neighbors refusins
to allow the school wagon to use his private road,
which he permitted the last two years. He, too,
is incensed at our school not being opened ana
is compelled to keep his child home from school
because of this fact and this child Is nine years
old and has never been inside of school.
The people of this neighborhood gave of their
daily earnings to build and furnish this schooI
with organ, library books and handsome school
dictionary. Now ask is this fair play to allow
forty-two children to be deprived of an educa-
ton because of said reasons? Is it fair play to
the taxpayers of Chestnut Ridge and all others
concerned? Is it fair play to allow our little
ones to be subjected to disease, colds, frosted
feet and hands when they eeuld walk VIZ
mile of home and thereby -
warm2
1 ask is it fair play to han
books, etc., hauled away and pun

much to put them in their school2 l ask
fair play to be treated in this way by our Scho0lu
Board in refusing to open our school? Wewant
our school opened at once and IL the School
Board refuses to act we will take our case to the
Governor. ONE WHO IS INTERESTED.

fall on last Monday rendered the ground unfit
for seeding and the most of our people have
turned their attention to cider-making.
Many farmers in this section had yield OF
from 20 to Is bushels of wheat per acre. The
potato crop, which was fair one, in many
instances is rottening badly. A few of our
people who were blessed with that delicious
fruit, the peach, seemed to be right in it"
this year as they sold them readily at "
bushel.
Mr.. Thomas J. Freeland. of Pleasant Hill,
has purchased of Mr.. ]. Nelson Daily his
property of about 10 acres, for 500, and in
tends to remove to his new home shortly.
Mr. Johnsey Baker has sold his herd OF 10
dairy cows, with all his milk cans, to Mr..
George A. Cameron, of Walker Station. Dur
ing the month of July Mr.. Baker shipped 900
gallons of milk, record hard to beat. What
the people of this section most need, after our
county roads are put in good condition, is
station house at Walker. Thispoint serves as
an outlet to a large section of this district.
There are over 200 gallons of milk shipped
daily from that place. 1t is hoped that the
railroad company will see its way clear in the
near future to grant US this favor.
With deep regret do we learn of the death OF
Mrs. Louisa ]. Morris, wife of Mr.. George p.
Morris, near Freeland Station. She had been
great sufferer for some time from complica-
ton of diseases, all of which she bore with
Christian fortitude. On last Sunday morning
the angel of death came to convey her soul to
that realm where suffering is not known. Mrs.
Morris had been a member of church from
youth. She leaves husband, two sons and
five daughters to mourn the loss of one whose
greatest object in life was the comfort of
those about her. The funeral took place on
Wednesday morning at Mt. Zion Church.
There was a large concourse of people who
turned out to pay the last tribute of respect to
one whom all seemed to love for her many
noble qualities.
Last Sunday night Rev. E. E. Henderson
preached a very interesting sermon at Eklo
Baptist Church TO an attentive audience. The
members of this congregation are erecting a
tower to their church, in which they will
swing a bell to call together their people.
They also intend to give the church edifice a
general renovating. There is nothing that
speaks so loudly in a community for progress
and enlightenment as good church buildings.
Next Sunday night Rev. F. B. Emenheiser
will preach his last sermon before conference.
1t is expected that he will be returned to Ray
vile Circuit, unless some other charge offers
him greater inducements. B.

Arthur s. Chenoweth, son of Mr.. T. Baseman
Chenoweth, formerly of Carroll county, but
now a resident of Trinidad, COL, has been
spending few days with friends in and around
Baltimore, says the San. He is nephew Of
Mr.. E. C. Chenoweth, a teacher, of Baltimore
county, and also a nephew of Mr.. Daniel
Shamberger, formerly assistant examiner Of
Baltimore county schools. He sailed on Sat-
urday from Philadelphia, having won the
Rhodes scholarship of the State of Colorado.
From the time be entered the High School
until he bad completed the university course
he attracted the attention of his instructors as
almost a prodigy in Greek, Latin, German,
French and Spanish. Though he is only %
years DID, his reputation as linguist had gone
before him, and one of the leading colleges Of
Colorado invited him to teach Greek, which he
did for short time. AT Oxford he will devote
the next three years to the languages, giving
special attention to Greek, Latin, German and
French.

No "Equinoctial Storm" Says Weather
Mantle heavy rains of early this week
caused many to say that they were the 'equi-
noctial storms" but the head of the Baltimore
weather bureau says there are no such storms,
and adds:
1T is an old and widespread belief that the
sun in crossing the line causes equinoctial
storms The origin of the beliefs not known,
but it is baseless. Storms-some mild and not
even noticeable as such, others Of greater
energy-come usually at intervals of q feW
days. Hence we must always have storm
about the time of the equinox. If it is day
or two early or late the believers say, oh, that
was delayed bitl' So the idea keeps alive.
1--WE get ON the average storm every fourth
day. They are as likely to come on any other
day as on the equinox. No gales, the Weather
Bureau designates wind of 40 miles or more,
have occurred here in September for the last
80 years. During March, the time Of the
spring equinox. there have been three gales in
80 years. In February during that period
there have been 10 gales, with two or more in
each of the remaining months.
1.-THE rainfall data at Baltimore for 80 years
gives little comfort to the equinoctial idea. On
September 10th in 80 years the total rainfall
has been .93 inches; on September 10th In 30
years the rainfall has been .23inches, while on
September 21st the total has been 30"

Horsetrainers and Teachers.

Peter Pechin in Southern Farm
Magazine Of Baltimore for May:
On the other hand, the horsetrainer
must, first of all, know horses. What
he thinks about horses or what
somebody else has told him about
them will have absolutely no weight
in finding him a job to train horses.
His qualifications must be known. else
he will have to seek some other en-
ployment, perhaps school teaching.
No man anxious to have the best in
q his horses brought out, and desiring
to use them to the best advantage,
will think of entrusting their teach
ing to some individual merely because
! he calls himself horsctrainer or
wishes to have salary paid him, or
is friend or member Of family
of some local politician. He has too
much regard for his horses. But the
same mah might, under the spell of
professional educationalists, who live
and move and have their being in
oratory dealing with education as a
matter principally of the number Of
teachers employed or the number of
children enrolled at school, the leis-
ure-loving "educational statesman"
absorbed in quantity and oblivious
to quality, commit his much more
valuable children to the care Of some
one called a teacher, but possessing
for his or her task absolutely none
Of the qualifications requisite to the
horsetrainer for success in his task.

In Florida potatoes are bringing
returns of 1900 an acre. strawberries
$500 an acre and celery $500 an
acre. Surely if such profits are pos
sihlr from the soil, there should be
no reason why the farmer has not
at his command a resource that pro"
misses, with careful attention., re-
turns that will repay him for en-
gazing in it. The North is depend
cn' nearly altogether upon the South
for vegetables oul Of season, and IFS
use Of early vegetables is constantly
on the increase and the demand at
all times far exceeds the supply. An
other attractive feature about this
class Of farming is that it does not
require large acreage, and this af-
fords the poor man an opportunity
not only to engage in an industry
thai will give him a living, but also
one that will enable him to get re-
turns large enough for him to have
il bank account and 10 expand in
other lines. Gardeners OF the North
know that such profits are never OBJ
tanned in that section, and as one
Florida paper puts il, "Why do they
no, come down here? Do they think
our figures are too large? - The only
answer to such questions is that they
must believe that such profits are
impossible, and that those writing
about the industry are overdrawing
it. IF they will not believe these re-
ports which are constantly coming
from reliable sources in all parts Of
the South, let them investigate the
conditions themselves by visiting
these sections personally, and they
will see things which will open their
eyes and convince that truly the
South is the garden spot Of the coun-
try.

Crops for Grazing With Hogs.

Prof. A. M. Soule in Southern
Farm Magazine Of aBltimore for
May:
Whenever crimson clover will grow
it should be utilized, as it furnishes
the earliest desirable grazing that
can be obtained in the spring. In
some sections rye is used with fair
success, but hogs will often not eat
it with relish, particularly after it
begins to grow rapidly; and there are
other crops which can be utilized in
the fall to better advantage. After
crimson clover is gone good blue
grass Of Bermuda will answer until
the carly-maturinG cowpeas have rip
cncd far enough to turn the hogs on.
Then ii will be a simple matter to
maintain succession Of cowpcas un~
Til the SOY beans are ready in the
fall. Soy beans may also be grown in
succession and utilized for feed
through November, and even ND to
Christmas. BY that time hogs should
have made at least 18O to 200 pounds
in weight. In some sections it is
deemed advisable to fatten them on
corn for at least a month or six
weeks, but many places this prac-
tice is being abandoned, because cow
peas and soy beans yield anywhere
from 20 to 40 bushels Of grain per
acre, and it is not necessary to feed
corn to harden mp the flesh and finish
off the hogs grazed on these crops,
as it would be where peanuts, chu-
fas and some other crops are used.
