GOOD SCHOOL At NORWICH.

GOOD SCHOOL At NORWICH.
TO the Ward County Independent, Mi
not, N. OAK:
l was just reading a piece in the
Granville Herald, headed Our
School" | think that the editor is
right, Granville ought to be proud OF
her school, but what about Norwich I:
Have they not a better school house
and just as good teachers as tn,
have in Granville? II Granville ia
proud Of her school, teachers and
school board, Norwich ought to be
more proud Of hers, as we have 10 take
into consideration that Norwich is a
village and Granville is a corporated
city, and That Norwich is only one
fifth as large as Granville. Now, |
for my part, am very thankful to the
school board for what they have done
for Norwich township, and l believe
that every one in the neighbCrhOod Of
Norw .cn township that have children
to send 10 school ought TO feel the
same. The new school house at Nor
Wich is certainly a peach. 1t cost a
little money of the taxpayers, but We
owe that to our children to give them
as good education as we possibly can,
SO they can be just as good if not bet
ter citizens than we are. We, as pio-
neers Of this country have had few
kurdish ps 10 start with in order to
settle down. But we like to smooth
The read as much as possible for our
children, and the only way that we
can do that is by giving them as good
an education as possible.
! will also say that the principal Of
Norwich school, Mrs. Mcbride, is very
well qualified for her position. When
the school first began this fall they
said that she was too strict, but the
people have found that she is the best
, teacher that has ever been in Nor
wich, which can plainly be seen by
the way that those children who left
on account of the teacher being too
strict have all returned, and that
there is not one that mas a bad word
to say against Mrs. Mcbride, every.
one seems to like ler and her way of
running the school. If the business
men Of the village of Norwich would
do as much for their town as the
school board of the township has done
We would in few years beat Gran
Vile 16 to 1.

BOX OF APPLES FROM OREGON.
Old Friend Woolverton Remembers
The Independent With Box OF
Choice Pippins-Apple crop in West
Was Immense.

Our friends in the west are rerem-
bering the Independent nicely these
days. In some manner or other, they
have learned that We like apples, snd
the good kind, too. The latest hanks
giving box to arrive was neatly
packed crate of choice Newton Pippin
apples, grown in the Rogue river val
ley near Medford, Oregon, on the
ranch of Mr. Wcolverton, who former
ly resided on a farm north of Minot.
Mr.. Woolverton moved to Medford
several years ago and got hold of some
choice fruit land, and is coming
money, hand over fist, tho ne doesn't
say so himself
The Newton Pippin apples, to get
back to our story, captured the first
prize on whole car competition, at
the Canadian apple show at Vancou-
yer, recently These apples were in
competition with those of the entire
west Besides apples, choice nears
are grown in the vicinity of Medford.
Medfom is a p cturesque city locat-
ed in one of the most beautiful spots
on earth. The apple crop. was i'm
mense there this year, in fact the
raisers bank on a good crop every
year, and are growing very wealthy.
While the land is quite high around
Medforl, it's worth every cent that is
asked, when one considers that two
and half acres in one orchard there
produced $500 boxes that Melted ST.

OF course the custom of having the
cake cut by the bride herself can cas-
Iy be observed, for during the recep-
ton following the small pieces can be
boxed and tied by special committee
Of friends and distributed to the guests

AS to the dreams that may come
when the fair recipients sleep with the
brides cake beneath their pillows,
who can tell whether they can vie with
the pleasure of receiving 1t in so
charming form?

Immediately after the late campaign, when
the political atmosphere in Washington
was surcharged with reports that the
relations between Mr. Taft and his for
mer chief were frigid, and that the time
was not far removed when there would
be an open break. The logic of the sit

an alignment OF Col. Roosevelt with
President Taft. They declare that the
progressives distrust Col. Roosevelt. They
charge him with being inconsistent on
the New York State convention as com
pared with his utterances on the subject
in Western States.
The reports that Mr.. Taft and Col
Roosevelt are in correspondence have ex-
cited a good deal of interest especially
among insurgents who have in mind pre-

mend Consolidation in Order
to Save Big sum.

A bureau of photography for the De-
partment of Agriculture will probably
be the outcome of the Presidents econ
omy committee, which has been investi-
calling the administration of the depart
ment for the past two months. The COM
mittee has not made its report to Secre-
tary Wilson, but it is generally thought
the members viii be unanimous in making
such a recommendation.
According 10 l. 5. William. of the di-
vision OF publications, the government is
now spending hundreds of thousands of
dollars in the maintenance of photo
graphic establishments for practically
every division and bureau in the depart
ment. He says by the consolidation of
all these separate Offices into one bureau
much money could be saved.
1t is generally thought Secretary Wilson
is in favor Of such a change, as il would
be the means of saving much money for
his department.
OF the nine bureau chiefs in the depart
ment, four have already expressed them
selves as being in favor of the change
The FIVE others have not declared them
selves in the matter. Prof. W. 4. Spill

change, although he would not express
himself regarding it
