ture, especially the POSTCARD Club.
We live three miles from the little

FROM A LITTLE GEORGIA BOY,

Dear Daddy Jim: will you make
room in your happy band for a little
Georgia boy? | am twelve years old
Papa takes The Jeffersonian and I
like to read it very much because
Hon. Thos. E. Watson is the editor,
and [ think he is a great man He
does so much for us. I am going to
school now, and am in the fourth
grade. | will soon be in a higher
grade If [ will study, and I am GER
tainly going to try, for I think
good education is the best thing a
boy or girl could have. I live in the
country on a farm, and it's not like
sitting up doing nothing, for there is
something to do all the time Our
cotton is up now, but doesn't look like
it is going to get up any further.
The grass is about to take it. I will
have to go to chopping it before
long, for it is so grassy. We have
ploWed our corn, and are blowing
our cotton for the first time. Our
school will not close until some time
in July. [ will be sorry when it
closes, for I like to go to school very
much. My favorite books are arith-
metic and history. My teachers
name is Mr.. Crews. He is from
Florida and [ like him very much.
We have a fine Sunday-school, as we'll
as day school. I will ask a riddle:
One goose ahead of two geese, two
geese behind one goose, one goose
between two geese; how many geese
were there? I will close for fear of
the waste basket. With best wishes
to all, Homer Sammons, Soperton,

ANSWERING RIDDLES.

Dear Daddy Jim:-Here I come
for the first time. Papa takes The
JeffersOnian, and I certainly do en-
JOY reading the childrens corner.
Papa thinks Mr.. Watson is a great
man, and [ think so, too. I wish I
could hear him speak. I go to school
as regularly as I can, and my teach
er's name is Miss Burt. She is a
fine teacher, and I like her very
much. am fourteen years old, five
feet one inch tall, weigh ninety-one
pounds. So you see I am very small
for my age. I have light hair, blue
eyes and fair complexion. You all
certainly do have fine riddles. [ will
close by answering and asking some
riddles: CD The answer to Ida
Kay's is a blackberry; CD Homer
McCullums is pistol, and I think
the other is stool. The answer to
Eva Alexander's is a broom Elsie
Hamm's is watch. If this escapes
the waste basket [ will write again.
| will expect a postcard from every
one of those whose riddles I have an
swered. So I will ask one: A house
full and a yard full, and can't get
spoonful. To the one that answers
this correctly, I will send a pretty
postcard. I will close with best

The Government. through the Ma
tlonal Department Of Agriculture,
has introduced, and is still introduce
ing, into this country many new and
valuable plants. The work is being
done now, as in the past, so unosten-
tatiously the public knows little of it.
Among the more recent introduce
tons is the Tung-shu or Chinese
wood oil tree. AS a rule, the distri-
button of this valuable tree is made
by seed, sometimes by plants. The
Tung-shu is esteemed by the Chinese
as the National tree of China" 1t
is a nut-bearing tree, yielding from
20 to SO pounds of nuts a year,
From the nuts wood oil, used in the
manufacture of paints. fine varnish-
es, and soap is extracted. The meal
in cake is used as a fertilizing in
gredient.
The Tung-shu f1ourishes through
out the Yangtese valley, and is adapt
ed to our Gulf coast and Pacific
States. The trees are raised from
seed in bed, and transplanted when
foot high. They are rapid growers
and come into bearing in three to six
years. They will do well in almost
any kind of soil. Waste land and
h1llsides may profitably be set to the
Tung-shu. The nuts carry 40 per
cent. of oil, which sells at cents per
pound. The value of the tree is that
it can be propagated by cuttings.
The yield Of nuts will depend, of
course, on the fertility of the soil
The trees require but little attention.
mill
In 1908, the Georgia Experiment
Station accepted few plants from
the Government. The trees are now
from six to eight feet in height.
They Powered this spring, and will
soon come into bearing.
Recently, the Station received sew
eral pounds of seed, which have been
planted. requested an analysis of
the Tung-shu meal at the hands of
the Government Chemist. I am Just
in receipt of the report, which shows
the content of the meal to be: phos-
phoric acid, per cent. nitrogen, 2
per cent; potash, IL per cent.
The oil from the Tung-shu is poi
sonous. Those who grow the tree
should exercise great care, when ex-
tracing the oil from the nuts, so
that it shall not come in contact with
the skin.
The Tung-shu flowers beautifully,
and develops rapidly into a very SYM
metrical tree. 1t makes therefore a
comely shade tree. The wood is
light, never attacked by insects. is
used for building purposes and the
manufacture of furniture, musical
instruments and household utensils.
Several varieties of cold and
drought-resistant alfalfas were re-
ceived last year and are being tested
for adaptability to various sections
of this country. Among the varieties
is the flat-pod and the Monaghan al
falfa. The varieties named are
hardy and of a strong, erect habit.

When "Play BALI is sounded at
Amusement Park Sunday next the
machinery Of one of the greatest
city baseball leagues ever seen here
will begin to move. The Danish
Sociable Athletic Club team and the
Marions will open the schedule at
Lac o'clock and their game will be
Immediately followed by q contest
between the Puritan A. G. and the
Lyeeum F. G. Thus the schedule
will start and end In league style.
Officially appointed umpires will be
on hand and everything about the
sional league style.
A second meating Maa- held In the
EVENING NEWS office last nfght-at
which a permanent organization, to
be called the Perth Amboy City
Baseball League, and for short. the
"Ctty League" was formed. The
exceedingly large number of players
on hand from the various teams was
gratifying to the promoters OF the
idea; 1t only went to prove more
conclusively the very evident success
of the venture.
Shortly after 5 O'Clock the NEWS
office was filled and Temporary
Chairman Albert G.. Waters called
the meeting to order. Mr.. Waters
was elected permanent president Of
the league, and Chris M. Wagner, an
EVENING NEWS scribe, was chosen
as secretary. By motion, a vote OF
thanks was accorded the EVENING
NEWS for its interest In the league
and for the offering of a peHnant to
the winning team.
A sample copy OF bylaws were
read and discussed. 1t Is proposed
to adopt bylaws similar to those
under which the Industrial Baseball
League operates. The following
committee on bylaws was later ap-
pointed: Albert G. Waters, of the
Nationals, chairman; John j.
O'Toole, of the Marions; Marty
O'Hara, of the Lyceums; John Lar
son, Of the D. s. A. c., and Vincent
Reidy. of the PuTitans. The duties
of this body shall be to draw up
suitable bylaws to govern the opera
tions of the league. The committee
will report at the meeting next Mon
day night.
The subject Of using eligible play
ers in the league was a warm u
and developed considerable discus
sion. 1t was suggested that each
team file lists of players at once,
which would stand throughout the
season. Some representatives want
ed the list to consist of fifteen play
ers and some wished twelve players.
A secret ballot was cast, resulting In
seven representatives voting for the
twelye-man list and three for the
fifteen-player list. With that a
motion was made and passed hat
each team submit a list of twelve
players who will appear with that
team throughout the season Of the
league. Each team will be permit
ted to hold its present players,
whether or not they come from out
OF town. but hereafter nc new play
ers can be taken on from out OF
town. Neither will the transferring
of players from one league can to
another be permitted. Should q
PLAYER withdraw his services from a
league team he cannot Join another
league nine, excepting that he MAJ
reiofn the club he has left.
The lineups of the four teams
sppearing on q scheduled date must
be filed with the secretary the FIJI

A Curious Wedding Present.

Among the Brass river tribes of
West Africa when a young couple get
married 1t is the custom for the oldest
member of the brides family to pre-
sent the bride with a plot of ground
six feet long. This Is for the grave of
her family and herself when they die.
The first member Of the new family
who dies is buried about twenty feet
below ground and the next one almost
sixteen feet, and this goes ON until all
the family die and are buried. The
grave holds them all, and this, they
think. prevents them from being sep
arated, This grewsome wedding pres.
ent ia the one most valued by tho
bride, the favorite native saying being,
when all other things are gone this
remains"
