years and are at that age when they
should not be turned upon the world.
The good that they have done the
city is represented in many, many dol

children and the money past students
represent. Keolsuk should see to it
that their teachers are cared for and
they should be put on an equal foot

No action was taken by the board

TEACHING THE TRADES

That the time is not far distant
when the school teachers of Keokuk
who have been long in the harness"
and have outliyed their usefulness
and former activeness as instructors,
will be Iensioned, is almost a surety.
superintendent William Aldrich of
the Keokuk public schools has receiy-
ed letter recently from Superin-
tendent Bostwick of the Clinton Qa.)
high school, telling of plan which
is to be placed before the state legis-
lature at its meeting on the ninth of
next month, which provides for the
pensioning and the care of incapaci-
tated teachers. Although nothing was
done at last evenings meeting regard
ing the matter, it was the pronounced
opinion of every member of the board
that something in favor Of teachers
who have served long and we'll and
have been in the school for certain
length of time, should be done in the
matter OF caring for them in their de-
|crepitude.
In reporting the matter, the follow
announced before the board last ev-
ening by Superintendent Aldrich, will
prove of Interest to those who know
of the work of pedagogues in supply
ing the young people with knowledge
and fitting them for the battle of life.

Teachers Wish Only Pension.

At conference between the teach
ers Of the Keolull public schools and
Superintendent Aldrich, the teachers
favor the matter of pension but are
inclined to lay aside the proposition
of disability, for the present at least.
A simple plan was explained before
the board by Superintendent Aldrich
and follows briefly:
A pension and disability bills are
proposed. Local teachers are inclined
to cut the disability bill. The initia-
ton fee is $40 and the tax is not to
exceed half mill. When a teacher
has taught thirty-five years or has
reached the age of Go, they may be re-
tired. The board of education shall
act as ex-officio members and direct
ors, and officers of the pension board
in care OF funds shall be elected. A
half mill levy is proposed on quarter
valuation which would mean some
thing like $4,000 in Keokuk. Locally
the teachers. wish to take up the pen
sion proposition but to forego the
sick benefit.

Abollshlng Toll Gates.

Toll-gates, those relics of former years
are being abolished by the State Road
Commission by the placing Of all turn
pixies under State control.
When the plans of the commission
shall have been fully carried out it will be
possible to travel the length and breadth
Of the State over frst-class roads without
being required to pay toll for the privi-
lege. Action has already been taken by
the commission which will result in the
removal of all such restrictions to travel
within the limits Of the city of Baltimore.
Under an agreement made April 20,
1909, with the United Railways and Elec-
trio Company, which will probably result
ii litigation in the courts, the commission
has acquired the Belair, Hartford and
York turnpikes. BY this agreement all
tollgates will be removed from those
roads. No agreement has been reached
for the acquisition of the Frederick turn
pike proceedings have been ordered by
the commission for its colonization.
Tollgates on this road will also be abolish
ed when it is turned over to the com
mission.
Under the Frederick turnpike condemna-
ton proceedings the, commission will ac-
|quire all tollgates on that road from

Crop

Strawberry shipments from Caroline
county this season have been very heavy,
and the crop has been great money
maker for the growers. So far, more
Than miiiion quarts have been received
at Ridgely, and more than $4,000 worth
81 berries have been sent to Northern
markets from that point. The new pre-
serving plant of the Armours has used
over 100000 quarts, and paid out nearly
$4,000 to the growers in that vicinity.
It is estimated that the total value Of the
crop raised around Ridgely this year will
approximate 100000.
Queen Anne, FIVE miles below on the
Delaware and Chesapeake railway,
strange to say, does not ship any berries,
although there are many acres of the
fruit in the neighborhood. This product
goes 10 Ridgely, where farmers ex-
change IS operated. The Armour factory
employs about 400 persons. and over a
thousand barrels Of the preserved fruit
have been shipped to the headquarters in
Chicago, to be thence distributed to Gus
toners over the country. In preserving,
SO pounds of sugar are used to 60 pounds
Of berries, and it has been found that the
berries of that district carry enough color
ing in their natural state to require no
artificial coloring.
At fredericksburg, in the lower end Of
the county on the Cambridge and Seaford
railroad, the season has been an active
one, and some 100000 worth of berries
have been shipped north. I6this territory
much land is adapted to the strawberry,
and the Industry is assuming large pro-
portions. At Greensboro, Goldsboro
Henderson and Marydell, on the Delaware
and Chesapeake road, shipments have
been steady and large in volume since.the
season started.
