BUNCH OF VERY LARGE ONES

Saturday ]. Walter Moore, of the
Glendale district, brought to THE
STAR Office three fine peaches,
the largest OF which measured 81
inches. The fruit wrs soft and finely
favored and Mr.. Moore states that the
three samples submitted did not differ
materially from 100 bushels more
which he gathered in his peach
orchard this year. Which goes to
show that Jefferson county farming and
fruit growing is profitable profession
for the man who knows his business
and attends to it.

instruction an effective weapon in the

How that fight is going may be seen from
the fact that four years ago Virginia

point Of education. To-day Virginia ranks
seventeenth. and her progress upward has
not halted.

4 Novel Letter Post.

From the New York sun.
My brother has adopted a new way TO
post his letters" said an uptown club
man. He called on a certain young
woman the other evening. and among
other things they talked Of letter writ
ing. She said she didn't mind writing
letters. but that she did hate to mail
them. He declared that it was an awful
bother. 50 they decided 10 devise some
easier way than carrying them TO corner
boxes.
Well. what do you think they did?
After he left that night she sat down,
wrote a letter 10 him, addressed it. sealed
and stamped it. and then opened the win
dow and dropped it on the sidewalk. He
came home, wrote her a letter, and did
the same thing with it, I suppose you
won't believe me, but those letters
reached their destinations by the first
delivery the next morning. Now, what
do you think of that?"

there are many thousands Of Washing

world, who are shut of from these things
and the educational advantages IN them
because their only leisure comes in the

about that many Washington people
really do not know their Washington.
We are pleased that this condition is
to be remedied as il applies to the Smith

pleased when the Library Of Congress
similarly extended its rules and as We
should likewise hail the opening of all

TO-DAY TODAY IN HISTORY
Month of Observation-Disclosures |.
bereavement TITIIIITILI

February was one OF the two months,
January being the other, that were intro
dUced into the Roman calendar by Numa
Pompilius, when he extended the year to
twelve periods. It's name arose from
the practice of religious cxpiation and
publication which took place among the
Romans at the beginning of this month
-"Februare" meaning 10 eXpiate, to
purify.
For a considerable time February regu-
larry had twenty-nine days, except in
leap years. when 1t had one extra day
added TO it, making thirty But when
Augustus chose to add a thirty-frst day
to August, that the month named for
him might not lack in the dignity en-
jOyed by six other months Of the year,
he took it from February which would
least spare it. thus reducing it 10 twenty
eight days I'm all ordinary years.
The character of February is well ex-
pressed in the following verse by Spen-
ser:
Then came old February. sitting
In an cid wagon for he could ride,
Drawn by two white fishes for the season htting.
Which through the food before did softly slide
And swim away; yet had he by his side

And tools to pune The trees. before the pride
OF has-y prime did make them boargeon vide.

Saxon ancestors. the month Of February

succulent acorns scattered around, here

Curiously enough-and thereby hangs
this tale-the woodpecker Is not a vege-

You see, the woodpecker lays aside his
acorns in such wise and in such places
that though they be hidden from outside

most do congregateN inside those same

High Prices and the Tariff.

Commenting upon the cost Of living.
the Chmchman says:
To some extent the increase is general the
world over and due indirectly, "a the vast increase
IN the PRODUCTION Of gold; IN Part it is the inev-
liable result Of the partial exhaustion Of natural
resources. In rart though in very small part it
Is the result Of increased wages, in part the result
Of hahitual extraysgance. But very large part,
part larger than al these others c1ubncd ia due
% the eysctions Of trusts. often made possible By
the iarF snd to SPECULATION that might be sub
jscted % regulation"
This foremost publication Of the Epis-
copal Church supplements its own view
Of conditions by quoting approvingly an
editorial from the Wall Street Journal.
which says that high prices for COM
modities are at the root OF labor unrest"
that they are grinding the citizen Of the
middle or professional class as ne was
never bruised before" and "a little more
pressure OF the kind and there can be no
question that the protective duties Of this
country VIII be cut to the bone, if the
Congressional election OF 1910 can do it."
Aye, there's the rub-''if the Congress
sional election can do it," Il cannot.
There may be the biggest sort Of an up
heaval in November and yet leave the
present tariff law perfectly safe. No one
.cognizant Of the situation at the Capitol
will be disturbed for a moment by the
fear OF a Republican Senate accepting
new tariff schedules framed by a Demo-
cratic or an insurgent House. An on
slaught upon the new law might be at
tempted-probably would be-but It would
inevitably meet successful resistance in
the Senate. especially since It has become
a demonstrated fact that articles upon
which the tariff tax was reduced have
in many instances advanced correspond
ingly IN price with articles upon which
the duty was increased or left unchanged
That the exactions Of trusts are often
made possible by the tariff, as the
Churchman AYERS. is a well-settled convic-
ton In many minds. that cannot be re-
moved. But there IS, nevertheless, less
danger Of the overthrow Of the protective
tariff system. less public demand for its
overthrow, than ever before. There has
ceased to be free trade South.
As We have said. political upheavaI
may come in November. Living condi-
tons. now wholly out OF keeping with
the country's business prosperity, must
improve, and improve decidedly, or such
an upheaval VIII be invited surely.
Meanwhile, the administration. in ad-
dressing itself earnestly to a solution of
the problem Of high prices, should have
the prompt cooperation Of Congress. and
of the good trusts themselves.

Il is stated on authority that DR.. John

out any difficulty. make away with a score

chided a woman because she queried
whether he had not had enough when he
had but finished the eighteenth cup. We
are most Of US aware that the madness o.
tea consumption By Englishmen has Sc
cured a strong foothold in the business
houses of London-in fact, to such an
extent, that work is suspended at 3
o'clock IN the British capital while the
Briton drinks his tea. Nevertheless, We
would hardly have supposed, as Is the
case. that the mania has got into the
House of Commons. Still, the caterer
of that august branch OF Parliament says
that each member Thereof averages six
teen cups daily. Just 10 think Of it,

dreadful airships floating over their be-
loved city and letting loose dynamite
bombs to fall in their very midst?

Cause and Effect.

Some one Of our numerous artists who
fashion the fearful and wonderful things
for the alleged comic colored supple
ments should see 10 II that certain
event of recent date in Pennsylvania is
properly set forth for the amusement
and instruction OF an anxious world
The excruciating details of this mirth-
provoking incident runs somewhat as
hereinafter set forth. A constable OF the
village persuasion met a large and portly
woman whose name was Maud" The
facetious constable approached her in
great glee, therefore, and in her unwill-
ms ears bawled "Hee haw" At this
point the righteously outraged Maud"
reached behind and secured from some
Where-this is little indefinite, but that
does not matter-a big pail Of scaIding
water, which she poured down the
constables back much 10 his vociferouslv
expressed distress and chagrin. but to
the unalloyed delight of the multitude
that had by this time gathered around
and about.
The story is familiar, but it will bear
repetition in the comic supplements.
It has been pictorially recited, over and
over again, Of course. but an additional
thrusting upon the public will not matter
particularly. In fact, this village per-
Torrance may be accepted. perhaps. as
a neat compliment to the makers Of the
''comics." Surely in plot and culmina-
ton, at least. it all fell out as if it
might have been patterned after the
average weekly doings Of Hans and Fritz
and Hooligan and Mrs. Katzenjammer.
And yet there are carping critics who
aver that the colored supplement is
nothing more or less than a crude and
coarse burlesque of daily life: that it
never has been true to things as they
are or possibly might be- 1t remained

have sought to upset the comic" SUD-

ample Of real comic" supplement do

to belittle the funny" end Of some of
