SCHOOL FARMERS
PROVE SUCCESSFUL
String Bean and Lettuce Raisers
Prove Interest BY Large
Crops.

School boy and girl farmers did fair
ly we'll in the District during August.
according to the report for the month
submitted to Superintendent w. M. Da-
wilson by Miss Susan B. Sipe, super
intendent of this school gardening
work. ~
Thirty plots on the Speedway attend
ed by children from the Toner school
producing 406 pecks Of string beans dur
ing August, says the report. The thir-
ty-six plots at the Rosedale school only
yielded 14l9 pecks of beans, but
the Rosedale farmers raised SO head of
lettuce as against none at the Speed
way. Juvenile farming on a less elab-
crate scale was also conducted at the
Wallach school.
Other vegetables which these children
raised include carrots, tomatoes, corn.
turnips and lima beans. Miss M X.

MELONS ARE GOING,
FISH SCARCE AND
PRICES ARE HIGH
Wholesale Wharves Show
Few Oysters, as Demand
Is Still Light.

All activity on the wholesale wharves
has been temporarily checked by a
shortage in all the products which find
a market there. Watermelons are play
ing out, fish is short because of the re-
cent storms on the Jersey coast. and
oysters have not yet begun to appear In
any great quantities.
Watermelons will probably not last
more than a week longer. Only two
boatloads came in today, instead Of the
fifteen to thirty that made their ap-
pearance daily during the busy season
Prices have gone up some, too, and
range from IS for the oulls up to $40
for the choicest specimens.
The shortage in the supply Of trout
and other fish continues, due to storms
on the coast. Trout Is worth SI2 a
barrel now, and weakfish is bringing
s14. Spots are 10 cents a pound, and
bluefish the same, an exceptionally high
figure for bluefish.
Hard crabs continue steady at 81 90
a barrel, and soft crabs hover around
% and 80 cents dozen. Croakers have
not advanced from their usual price OF
So barrel, and clans also remain
steady at 80 cents a hundred
Oyster Demand Small.
The oyster business is still slow, due
to lack of supply and also to a lack
of demand on account Of the warm
weather. But should the weather grow
much cooler before the 18th. when the
Virginia and Maryland laws permit the
natural rocks to be marketed. dealers
would have considerable trouble filling
their orders.
Only three oyster boats have arrived
since September /, when the law al
lowed the planted beds to be entered
The last to arrive was the sloop Annie
Capt. Bill Gibson. and she brought only
little over $50 bushels. There are a
few bushels coming in every day on
the steamers, but on the whole the oys-
ter trade Is slow.
Prices Unsettled.
Prices have not had time to steady
themselves yet. oysters in the shell
run from 40 to 70 cents a bushel. and
shucked oysters from 81 to S.25 a
bushel. The future price will depend
largely on whether the weather be-
comes cooler before the oystermen car
enter the natural beds.

cause of surgical treatment.
To cure by prevention is by far
the easiest and best medical adj
vice a physician can teach to any
patient, whether it be toenails or
cancer. =.
The common cases of ingrow-
ing toenails are improper foot
wear and an improper method of
cutting the nails. If the nail is
cut too short, especially at the
angles, while at the same time the
shoe is too short or too narrow,
the skin on the toe is forced over
the nail. Consequently by the
further growth of the nail, the
flesh is pushed still further over
until a point is reached where in
fammation is set up.
The preventative measures of
the trouble are:
First, in cutting of the nails.
The toenail should be cut in con-
cave form, the outer angle pro-
jecting beyond the toe. Then, if
there is a tendency for the flesh to
grow over the nail, the flesh
should be pushed back from the
nail and fastened in position with
a strip of oxide of zinc plaster. A
gauze packing should be inserted
under the edge of the nail. A
saturated solution of boric acid
serves as an antiseptic dressing.
Pantkins-Short stories are all
the go now.
Perkins-Yes, I've noticed it.

MEXICAN REBEL BURNS
WOUNDED PRISONERS ALIVE

MEXICO CITY, July 22.-More
than 60 persons were slain and many
wounded in an attack by Zapatistas
on passenger train between this
city and Cuernavaca Morelos today.
The Zapatistas placed mine under
the track and exploded it as the train
passed Over 500 of them then
poured a murderous fire into the pas
sengers Several Americans, includ
ing the conductor. named Adler, were
killed
De I.oa. the Zapatistas' leader
ordered all the wounded to be shot
and this was done. Several military
officers who were on the train died
while defending the helpless passen-
gers. The express car was looted and
then De Loa ordered that every per
son still living be shot.
A priest begged him to spare the
few remaining passengers and this
he did. The bodies of the dead and
the wounded were hustled into the
coaches and the mass set on fire. All
were burned to a crisp.
The priest declares that many of
the wounded were hustled into the
flames while begging for mercy.

REPLY OF CHAMPION

NEW YORK, July 23.-An amusing

is said that shortly before the Finland

ord at the stadium gave him the honor
of being considered the best all
around athlete of the games.
"The king has heard of your sue

to congratulate you
Ugh, / don't know much about
kings" replied the big Indian, as he
grinned bashfully Offer him my re

The eguerry went over the side in :
kind of stupor 1t is said to be the
first time on record that the kings in
vitation has been refused.
