RUINED FRUIT
IN CALIFORNIA
Heavy Frost Means Loss of
S30,0C0,000.
Special by United Press Wire.


Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 8.-Tbat
only one-ifth of California's orange
and lemon crop will be saved, and
that the loss to the growers will total
nearly $30,000.000 was the state
ment made today by persons who
have communicated with all parts of
the citrus fruit districts of Los An
geles to San Francisco. A biting
frost struck that section Sunday.
Other conservative estimates say
the loss will be about SIS, 100000
and that in addition, the railroads
will lose about s8.000,000 In curtail-
ed rates. Although they have al
ready fought for forty-eight hours to
save their crops from cold, most of
the growers were out again all night
burning smudge pots in an effort to
save what had not already been lost.

Peace EnvOys Linger.

Special by United Press Wire.
London, Jan. S:-None of the
peace envoys have left London today
and there were conferences among
them in all of the hotels where they
are stopping. Intervention of Euro
pean powers was said to be a GER
tainty to force the porte to make
further concessions. Advices from
Constantinople said that the powers
were bringing strong pressure to
bear on the porte to convince the
Turkish government that Adrianople
would have to be sacrificed.
The delegates of the Balkan states
today professed to believe that Adri-
anople would fall within twenty-four
hours and they said that they were
certain that satisfactory peace terms
would be concluded.

Country Problems

We do not believe in confining
governmental activity to the city.
We believe that the problem of life
in the open country is well nigh
the gravest problem before the ma
ton. The eyes and thoughts of
those working for social and indus
trial reform have been turned al
most exclusively toward the great
cities. and toward the solution of
the questions presented by their
teeming myriads Of people and by
the immense compleXity of their
life. Yet nothing is more certain
than that there can be no perma-
nent prosperity unless the men and
women who live in the open coun-
try prosper. The problems of the
farm, of the village, of the country
church, and the country school, the
problems of getting most value out
of and keeping most value in the
soil and of securing healthy and
happy and well-rounded lives for
those who live upon it, are funda-
mental to our national welfare.
The first step ever taken toward
the solution Of these problems was
taken by the Country Life Commits
sion appointed by me, opposed with
venomous hostility by the foolish
reactionaries in Congress, and
abandoned by my successor. Con-
gress would not even print the re-
port Of this Commission. and it was

COMMISSIONER WAGNER
GETTING ACQUAINTED
Arranges Regular Day For
Each County Work

DR.. Charles Wagner, State Com
missioner of Education, III order TO
get better acquainted with the
schools. teachers and parents OF
Delaware, has arranged a series OF
ten meetings to be held in Sussex
county in the near future, five or
six of which will be held in the ru-
raj districts. Similar meetings will
be held in the other counties at a
later date. At these meetings, the
parents of the scholars will be IN
vited and requested to ask the So
luton of any problem of the child S
school life, upon which they wish
information.
1t is the purpose of Professor
Wagner to spend Fridays with
Professor Hardesty, superinten-
dent of Sussex schools; Thursday
with Professor Carroll, of Kent
county; and Tuesdays with Pro
fessor Cross of New Castle county.
1t is most likely that Professor
Wagner will spend each Wednes-
day in Dover, making that his Off
cial day where he can be reached
at any time.

school conditions found in this
Maryland county are by no means
peculiar to it, but are typical of
what is still found in country dis
trlcts elsewhere. In several re-
spects Montgomery county is supe-
rior to other rural localities in its
educational features. 1t has, for
instance, a school year of $50 days,
as compared to terms as low as 40
days in parts of some states; and,
like every other Maryland county,
it has county supervision Of schools
which educators consider the most
effective means of building up ru-
raj education.
To make the one-room rural
schools as efficient as possible. but
to do away with them by consolida-
ton wherever practicable, is the
motto the rural school improvers
have adopted. Constant improve
ment is reported in the facilities of
fered by the one-room rural school,
particularly in relating school work
to farm needs, but side by side
with this Improvement has gone the
movement for consolidation. until
there are now several thousand
consolidated shcools in the United
! States.

WOMAN IS DELAWARE OR

"Laborers in Delaware are
scarce, and boys and girls are need
ed on the farms today more than
ever if agriculture is to continue to
progress on this peninsula.
1T is to this end that the depart
ment of agriculture is working, not
only here, but in many other states.
The work is under the direction of
Professor O. H. Benson, and each
state has its organizer and demon
strator.
Mrs. Frederick C. Snyder of
Newport, near Wilmington, has
been chosen as Delaware's organ
izer and demonstrator in charge OF
the canning and preserving clubs.
The work in this state only began
in July. but attesting to the inter
est in the movement, four clubs
have already been organized. They

CONCERNING THE
RURAL SCHOOLS
Facts Furnished By The u. S.
Bureau Of Education

AbOlishing crossroads one-room
schools and establishing consohdat-
ed or centralized schools is advocat-
ed in a bulletin just issued by the
United States Bureau Of Educa-
ton. The Bureau recommends this
wherever it can be done without
too great expense and without
breaking up or disintegrating ex-
listing communities. The bulletin
is an educational survey of Mont
gomery county, Maryland, where
conditions are fairly typical of the
rural school problem in general. 1t
is hoped that by close view of one
rural district, other rural commun-
tiles may be encouraged to investi-
gate their school systems and make
them more efficint.
That sentiment in country dis
tricts is not everywhere ready for
the consolidated school idea is free
ly admitted by the authors of the
bulletin. In Montgomery county a
majority of the school patrons ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to
the idea. They realized fully the
deficiencies of their rural schools,
but they We're not yet willing to ac-
cept consolidation as the remedy.
The writers of the bulletin endea-
vor to show that most of the defects
complained of by the school pat
rons-poor teaching, low salaries,
lack of thoroughness in the common
branches, few special subjects,
work not advanced enough-are in
herent in system of one-room
country schools, and that the way
to remedy the situation is to have
fewer and better schools, with
transportation furnished to pupils
living at a distance.
II is pointed out that the rural

are in EIsmere, Newport, Newark
and Dover. The clubs are not linn
tied to membership, but the men,
bers are divided into teams of five,
and the ages ranges from 10 to Is
years.
The Elsmere and Newport clubs
engaged in a canning contest at the
recent state fair held in Whining
ton, and Newport won by a few
points. The prizes were not offered
by the State Fair Association not
only did the winning club get a
prize, but there were individual
prizes offered. The girl who cans
five jars of fruit or vegetables is
entitled to wear a club pin, fuIm-
lshed by the government, and at
the end of the summers work the
government awards prize for the
best essay written by a club men,
ber regarding her work during her
period. These awards will be
made the first of November.
"The state is divided into see
tions, and each one has a Gamer,
which must be approved by the
government. The canning demon
strations are given under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Snyder.

SCIENCE A FEA
TURE

Another idea of these clubs is
to use up the surplus about the
farms. The plan is for the young
Gamers to purchase from the par
ents the products desired and then
sell them back the canned article.
The Dover club made arrangements
with some apple growers whereby
they got all the apples they desired,
returning one-fourth of the out
put.
THE work of the clubs does not
end with the advent of fall, for on
October 1st begins the winter work
which consists of domestic science,
and the clubs will give an exhibi-
ton some time during the winter.
Cone of the features in the do
mestic science work will be to en-
phasize the harmful effects of the
patented colorings now on the mar
ket and to make these colorings
from vegetables of different kinds.
For illustration, if green is de-
sired for mint jelly, the club mem
bers will be instructed how to make
the coloring from spinach. Many
other important things will be
taught, so that the domestic science
feature promises to be an import
ant branch of the club work among
girls of Delaware and work which
will show beneficial results later
on.

During the past year the work
of Mrs. Frederick G.. Snyder of
Newport in behalf of the boys and
girls of rural Delaware, has become
well-known throughout the State.
The following interesting account
is clipped from the Philadelphia
North American of September q ::
1.-The United States government
is helping this state (Delaware)
solve the problem of keeping boys
and girls on the farm.
Because the problem is a vital
one to the farming interests Of this
state. the work which was recently
started here is being watched with
a great deal of interest.
This work consists of organic
ing canning and preserving clubs
for girls and corn-growing contest
for boys, under the auspices of the
Federal department Of agriculture,
and in the cases of girls the main
subject, aside from teaching them
the things which formed part of
the education of their grandmoth-
ers. is to stimulate their interests
in rural life. The government
agents go on the theory that if the
girls remain on the farm it is only
natural to expect that the boys will
have more incentive to do so; but
in order to keep up their enthus-
iasm in farm life, the corn clubs
are now being organized.
"The problem of labor is the
greatest of the Delaware farmer
and fruit grower. Many of them
have been seriously handicapped by
their boys and girls leaving the old
home for business life in the city.
Some of them have been compelled
to quit farming for that reason.

ONLY ONE IDEA IN HIS MIND
French Bookworm Travelled $50 Miles
In Gown and Slippers to Buy
Priced Volume.

None Of the deeper human passions
is more absorbing than the blameless
one that a book-lover feels for the
inanimate object of his affection. A
French paper illustrates this fact in
psychology by the following story:
A bookworm living at Bordeaux,
while glancing through the catalogue
Of a Paris bookseller, saw the title of
a book that he had greatly desired for
80 years. He looked at the clock and
found that there was just time 20
catch a train for Paris. He seized
some money from his cash box, rush
ed of to the station, and arrived at
the booksbop in time to secure the
prize. AS the shopman wrapped up
the book, he remarked:
q" suppose you live in this street,
monsieur"
"No, I have just come from Bor-
deaux," was the reply.
The mans look Of astonishment
caused the ~bibliophile to realize that
he had travelled $50 miles in his dress
ing gown and slippers, and had never
noticed the incongruity in his attire.

that children should begin reading

years old.
Muscular fatigue exhibits pheno-
mena identical with intellectual ia
