Delegates of the Polish Falcons here
from various parts of New England to
attend the sixth annual convention of
the NTH district, met with an unex
pected rebuff Sunday morning when
they attended service at ST. Joseph
church, when the rector, Rev. J. J..
Ambot, ordered the two standards they
carrled-the American and the Polish
REMOVED from the church The flags
went, but with them also the delega-
tlon OF Falcons and the Norwich Fall
con band, which led the march to the
church from Froehlichxeit hall, where
the Falcons had assembled at 7 o'clock
before proceeding to mass.
Left the Church.
The procession of Falcons, in uni
form, with the flags and the band at
the head of their line, then marched
back to the hall, and at the regular
meeting of the convention Sunday aft
in the morning We're made the subject
of indignant protest.
Rev. J. j. Ambot's Statement
Arrogance and the lack of tact on
the part of those making the arrange
ments for the service" said Rev. Faith
er Ambot Sunday afternoon, twas the
reason for what happened at the
church. Beyond that 1 do not care to
make any comment
Unable to Understand Action.
At the meeting of the convention on
Sunday afternoon at o'clock in
Froehlichkeit hall, among the commit
tees appointed was the following press
committee, which was entrusted with
the special duty of reporting the &C.
currence at the church, Stanislas Wro-
bel Meriden; Francis Wiech, Lowell:
Walter Pawlikowski, Bridgeport, and
Joseph Plucinski, Wallingford.
The committee stated that the action
of the rector was unexpected and in
eXplainable by them. They said that
representatives of the. convention had
arranged for the mass and had paid
the fee, and they believed it was I'M
derstood by the church authorities that
the delegation was to come in uniform
and would bring their flags. This was
the same as they had done, they said
at other conventions, and the flags
themselves had been blessed. When
the flags We're ordered out of the
church there was only one thing for
the delegates to do, they said, and
that was to follow the flags, for the
colors that Koscuisko had followed and
the colors that George Washington had
followed demanded their allegiance
both as Polanders and as Americans.
Twenty seven Places Represented.
Twenty seven different places in
New England were represented by del

YAWL NIGHTINGALE LOOTED.
Thieves Made Big Haul from James
Hubbards Boat.

Thieves made a rich haul Friday
night when they pilfered the 5e<foot
yawl Nightingale, owned by James l..
Hubbard of Norwich, the craft being
moored off the Ferguson yard on the
Groton shore, says the New London
Globe. So complete was the theft that
hardly anything of value remains on
board the craft. The thieves forced an
entrance to the cabin and removed all
the bed clothing, oil clothes, two
clocks, stores, besides a compass, bin
nacle and barometer. The theft has
been reported both to the police of
New London and Groton and officers
are at work endeavoring to recover the
plumber and apprehend the thieves. 1t
is supposed that the loot was made by
at least two persons who went aboard
the Nightingale by running alongside
the craft with a rowboat or launch.

Teaching Agriculture in the Public
Schools.

IN the modern renaissance of agri-
culture the public school teachers are
tostake no small part. The Federal
government<reeognizes this fact and
by the Nelson law Of 1906 provides
that a portion of the increase to the
Morrill, fund may be used for the pur-
pose of training teachers of agricul.
ture in the public schools. The de-
mand for such training in the schools
of West Virginia, under the law re-
quiring elementary agriculture to be
taught In the free schools OF the state,
led the board of regents OF the state
university to provide department of
AGRICULTURAL Education in the College
of Agriculture. Prof. A. w. Nolan,
who had charge of the departments of
horticulture, forestry and entomology
In the college. was recently trans
ferred to this new department.
The plans for this new department
have not been fuzzy developed, but
some definite work has been outlined
for next year, proposing to help the
boys and girls and teachers in the pub
lie schools, in their stuGy of elemen.
tary agriculture. The monthly bulle-
tin on school agriculture, edited last
year by Prof. D. w. Working, will be
continued this year by Prof. Nolan.
School Agriculture will~be issued each
month of the school year beginning
next September, Each issue will con-
sist Of eight lessons containing sim
pie discussions and practical exercises
on agricultural. subjects, adapted to
the needs and requirements Of the
public schools, teaching agriculture.
1t is proposed also to issue monthly
bulletins on nature.study for teachers
of grades below the 9Th and 8th,
where agriculture is taught. Nature
study, properly taught in the primary
and intermediate grades, is the best
preparation possible for the study of
agriculture, as well as for other sci
ences and when we recall that the
majority Of the people never get be-
yond the elementary grades Of the
public schools, we see the importance
Of teaching some, of the laws Of nature
and of life, early in the school course.
The department of agricultural ed4-
cation will cooperate with the county
superintendent and teachers of the
state in promoting the boys and girls
corn growing contests, and will assist
in any way it can in making the corn
show exhibits and contests a
success this fall Contestants
will remember that the win
ners, are entitled to compete for
the big state prizes in the corn show
at Keyser next December.
The head of the department Of agri-
cultural education and others in the
faculty the College Of Agriculture
will visit many district institutes and
confer with the teachers in the prob
lens of agriculture and nature-study
in the schools. Conferences are also
to be held with high schools and nor
mails in regard to the intro uction and
teaching Of agriculture in these
schools. In all the ways possible the
department stands ready to help the
boys and girls and teachers of West
Virginia in the work of studying and
teaching agriculture in the public
schools, and through this cooperation
to enlarge the lives OF the people Of
the open country. #

Good Apples will Be High.

No Necessity For the Frederick County
Growers TO Sen ii Once.
BETTER PRICES LATER ON.
Already One Large Orchard Has Been
Sold For So For Yorla and Bens,
While 81 Was Paid For Grimes
Golden and Other Fancy
Varieties Crop Short.
There is no reason why the apple
growers in Frederick county should sell
the products Of their orchards at once,
because there is every indication that
higher prices win be offered later In the
season. This fact was admitted by all
who are in position to keep in touch
with the apple markets here and else
where throughout the country, and the
Frederick county man who has agood-
sized crop this year will have none but
himself to blame if be does not realize
more for his apples than he has done
for a numbers Of years.
i Many Big Fsilhrsss 1855
For several weeks well authenticated
reports have been coming in from many
sections Of the United States, telling Of
the failure Of the apple crop in nnmer-
GUS localities which are usually depended
upon to supply large portion OF the
annual crop.
Only yesterday The Star published dis
patches from Rochester, N. T., an
nouncing that no more than one-third OF
crop will be gathered in that section,
which is regarded as one Of the best pro-
ducing parts Of New York state. A
terrific Wind=storrh knocked thousands
Of barrels Of apples off the trees.
The failure of the crop in other parts
Of the country always has the effect Of
increasing the price Of apples in those
localities not devastated by severe wind
storms. Thus far, Frederick county has
escaped such visitaticns.
Big Prices Already Paid.
"A day or two ago one Of the most ex-
tensiYe apple growers Of Frederick
county sold his entire crop at prices
much higher than were paid last year.
For his York Imperial and Ben Davis
varieties, it is understood that he re-
ceived So barrel, and for Grimes Gold
en- and other fancy varieties he obtained
81. These prices mean that the grower
must do the picking and packing and de-
liver the fruit on the care here.
Other growers in the county have
been approached by local and out-of-
town buyers, who offered them as much
Is s. barrel. Some are considering
these prices. while others have decided
to hold off until later in the season, ex-7
pecting toget more.
Fancy Grades A. $3.50
This Is the first year since the real
development of the apple industry in
Frederick county that such high prices
have been offered for the fruit this
early in the season. Last year So was
the average price offered during Au-
gust, and very little fruit was bought
until about the middle of September,
and now SIX weeks in advance Of that
period this year nearly double the for
mer priceis being offeredby the buyers.
The average price for last year late IN
the season wgs no more than $2.75. al
though ! few growers got e much as
SIS for their fruit delivered on the cars.
