The President has the right to
maintain forty cadets at the Mil
itary Academy at West Point,
and twenty at the Naval Academy
at Annapolis, filling the vacan-
cies as they occur by reason of
graduation or discharge for de-
ficiency. 1t has been the prac-
tice to confine these appointments
almost entirely to the sons of
army and navy officers, with the
result that much influence is
brought to bear on the White
House to obtain the few coveted
appointments each year. Mr..
Taft has under consideration
plans for making these appoint
ments after competitive tests, as
he believes it would be more fair
to the large number of candidates
whose applications are on file if
the selections were determined by
examination, limited to the class
hitherto recognized. This plan
would be an excellent one as it
would not only relieve the Presi-
dent of the great pressure that is
always brought to bear for these
appointments, but would also re-
move, in measure, the discon-
tent of those who are necessarily
left out.

turkey cocks from April fifteenth to
November first. Quail Bob White,
wood duck from March first to No
vember first. Snipes, sandpiper,
(chorooks and papabottes) from May
fifteenth to September first. Blue

At last the long neglected and
much despised Jersey pine is
about to come into its own. The
bureau of forestry has taken an
interest in it and has discovered
that it has great value as a ma
terial from which to make paper
pulp. It seems that with slight
change in the so-called cooking
process the pine yields an excel
len, quality of pulp nder the sul-
phite process, which practically
paper makers have pronounced
to be a strong, long fibred and
hard wearing pulp, especially de-
sirable for making bags and news
and wrapping papers This dis
covery will doubtless greatly en-
hance the value of many thou
sands of acres covered with this
scrub growth.

fare plus twenty-five cents for the
occasion, and all of the children
who attend and the teachers who
accompany them will be enter

vault, and championship games
of all kinds. Scholarships, cash
