Turpentlne and Forests.

You do not know the turpentine tap
pers, but If you come to Florida you
win soon find them out. It is a curt.
Gus business that will deliberately de.
stroy all the forests of a half dozen
states for little immediate gain; and
still more curious is the lassitude that
allows the destruction to go on. The
French have a method Of tapping trees
which gives profitable return and
leaves the trees practically uninjured.
In this way an industry is perpetuated,
but our American tapping is another
thing.
The trees are cut with a broad az,
hewing out great slices and leaving
scars from which the resin flows into
boxes at the bottom OF the cut and is
scraped once month into casks. The
cut is repeated each year, and in six
or seven years the tree is exhausted
So go great forests Of pine that stand
so to 100 feet high, leaving us thou.

In the woods to her left she thought
she heard a horse neigh; then she saw
shadows moving in that direction;
and again. from the road, she heard
the brief debate of the two men as

struck Jerry humorously that he

they came and helped him out OF his

It may help TO an understanding Of
Miss Jerry Dangerfield's character If
II is recorded here that never in her
short life had she failed to respond to
the call of impulse. She was lost in
the woods, and strange men lurked
about; a man had been attacked,
seized, and left sitting in a state Of
absurd helplessness on a horse pre-
sumably his own, and there was no
guessing what dire penalty his cap
tors had In store for him.
Quiet reigned in the neighborhood
OF the church; the lights had blinked
out; the bang OF the closing shutters
reassured Jerry, and she crept on her
knees toward the unconscious captive,
loosed his horses rein and led 1t rap

CHESTY PLAYERS MAKE GOOD
Cobb, Latham and Kelly Among Those
Of Swell-Headed Kind That
Made Good.

to think the greatest ball player who

Now, Ty is chesty, cocky and fresh,
but those are the qualities that make
the best ball players. Cobb was the
freshest kid who ever broke into big
league class, is what every Detroit
player says who was with the Tigers
when Cobb first Joined them. But II
was that chestiness and nothing else
that enabled him to climb to the top
OF his profession where he stands pre-
emlnently now, and there will be no
one to push him of that high pinnacle
until he himself says so.
And what is chestiness but the feel
ing one has that one is just as good
II not better than any one else in
the line of business one follows.
Cobb felt It in his youthful bones
that he was as good player as any
one on the Detroit team and made
good the feeling imbued in him that
caused the expansion OF chest he is
accused OF. Chestiness is one of the
most promising traits a youngster can
show, and he does not want to lose It,

is as good as they make em, and
therefore, why wouldn't he expand,
mentally and physically?
All this knocking Of Cobb, too,
comes from nothing else than pure
and unadulterated jealousy. 1t is a

Football lawmakers, coaches and

way that will make the coming games

pected by the more conserv Give Of
the western experts
The all-day session resulted in some
what more freedom fo. the forward

effects of the rigid laws in regard to
the flying tackle. Coach Stagg OF the
University OF Chicago presided at the
morning session. and Coach Williams
OF Minnesota had the chair I'm the
afternoon These were the only two
western members Of the national body
present and botE contributed much
TO the discussion
Important readings OF the meeting
were those providing that the new

more than twenty yards beyond the
line of scrimmage. and that the hy-
ing tackle shall not include those
plays where defensive players throw
themselves into an offensive play

The rule regarding crawling with

that the runner with the ball who is

Such an act will be called crawling.
The rule regarding the amount Of

Still Hoping,

To the Editor of The Republican:
Much regret has been expressed by a
very large number of the patrons of
the Oakland schools that the School
Board, at its meeting last week, took
no action looking to a rectifcation of
the error it committed in ignoring the
petition of the people that Mr. Palmer
be retained at the head of the schools.
|, for one of the number, am loath to
believe that the School Board intended,
by its inaction, to add insult to injury,
and shall be content to wait until its
next meeting before passing final judg-
ment in this matter, hoping that some
thing may still be done to relieve the
situation and that the wishes of the
patrons of the schools may be recog-
nized by the School Board Hope.
Oakland, July &c, 1910.

To the Editor of The Republicans:
Several taxpayers having expressed
desire to know the status of the state
appropriation under the new high school
law, beg to offer the following:
Last year Oakland received 81, 500
state aid, account the high school.
Next year the most it is possible to get,
if the school complies with the require
ments of the First Group, is 81, 300.
To do this means an enrolment of so,
term Of Sc weeks, salary of $1,000 to
principal and $500 to each of three as
sistants, besides two special teachers.
If the school fails to enroll 80, or to
meet any of the requirements, it will
fall back to the Second Group and re-
ceive only $1,000, state aid.
1t will be very unfortunate for the
taxpayers if the enrolment should fail
to reach 50 as we understand the board
has supplied the two additional assist
ants which means an expense of $1,000;
also the vice principals salary must be
at least $50 higher than last year and
there will be $105 more salary to the
commercial teacher if the monthly sal
airy remains the same. Taking it for
granted that the salary for manual
training remains the same, the board
under the most favorable circumstances
must eXpend $l155 more than last year
and then receive 5000 less state aid
than last year. This means the board
is worse off by $1355 than last year IN
less something is saved on the manual
training end.
If after all preparations are made and
continued for First Glass high school
the enrolment should not reach 50 it
means a further loss Of 5000 Qess 5000
salary to the principaD or total of
S2O55.
The session of 1910 certainly gave
Garrett black eye as far as high
school appropriations are concerned.
1t is to be hoped that the efficiency of
the school will increase in proportion to
the increased expense to the taxpayers.

To be honest, Mr.. President, aren't
all these words and excuses and fine
spun arguments simply blind to put
goggles on the eyes OF the public" to
conceal the real reasons, viz: to pay the
political debts of some of the school
officials for the positions they now hold?
When the writer signed Prof. Pal
mer's petition it was with full knowl-
edge of what it signifies and we are
waiting for conviction that any other
plan or petition quite meets the needs

Why Not Interested?

To the Editor of The Republican:
One thing in Mr. Definbaugh's COM
munication appearing in your paper last
Thursday, in which he (Mr. Deffin-
baugh) attempted to defend the School
Board, caught and held my attention,
namely:
That some disinterested people had
signed Mr.. Palmer's petition to be re-
tanned as principal of the Oakland High
School.
What Mr.. Deffinbaugh means to con-
vey, | am at a loss to understand. All
should be interested in the schools, for
their success means the future success
of every child in Oakland who has al
ready or may hereafter arrive at school
age. If Mr.. Definbaugh means to in
fer that those who are not parents or
patrons of the school are ''disinterest-
ed, d." then | agree with him, but would
not the same argument prevail against
Mr.. Deffinbaugh himself in this respect:
that he is not the parent of a child of
school age, therefore not a patron and
consequently 'disinterested'' as far as
the succesr of the school is concerned
If Mr.. Deffinbaugh will specifically
name those who are "disinterested" he
will confer lasting favor upon
A PARENT WHO Is INTERESTED.
