IMPROVEMENTS MADE
AT COLONIAL beach
Virginia Board of Health in Official
Report Commends Activity Of
Resorts System.
GENERAL CLEANUP PLANNED

Colonial Beach, Va, one of Washing
tons chief pleasure resorts on the Po-
tomac, has been greatly improved since
the close of the past vacation season.
Additions which will greatly increase the
comfort and health of the many visitors
who will flock there the approaching
season have been made. The efforts of
the municipality have been centered
upon securing modern sanitary con-
veniences.
In a bulletin issued yesterday. the
Board of Health of Virginia cites a re-
port just filed by Sanitary Engineer
Beach's activity and holds up the Po-
tomac pleasure resort as a model for
the State.
Heretofore, according to the report of
Mr. Messer, the citizens of Colonial Beach
have been somewhat troubled with their
water and sewerage system, and felt that
their failure to provide ample facilities
was decided handicap to the progress
of the town. For this reason the town
voted bond issue of $4,000. which was
devoted to the installation of thorough
ly modern water supply and sewerage sys-
tenn. This has now been completed, with
an artesian well 400 feet deep, a $1,000
gallon concrete reservoir and about three
miles of water mains. The system of sew
erage disposal is declared by Mr.. Messer
to be most adequate. and includes ar
rangements for the treatment of all sew
age.
Colonial Beach's latest move has been
the initiation of a cleanup movement
and the setting apart of a cleanup
day. which is really to mark the con-
clusion of the campaign. On this day,
May Is. when the whole town is sup
posed to have been cleaned and all i'm
provements frightened up, an inspection
will be made by representative OF the
Virginia. board of health.
The cleanup movement has been en-
gineered by Prof. c. v. SamueIs, a rep
resentative of the Colonial Beach Com
peny. He circulated "A cleanup" agree
ment, pledging the signers to use every
effort to beautify and make their prem
Uses sanitary in time for the inspection
on May Is. The agreement was signed
by practically every representative citi.
zen Of the town.

ments are ON in many parts Of the coun-

the delivery.
Many Of the largest corporation and
business houses of philadelphia have
organized and presented an informal de-
mani on the Baltimore and Ohio and
Pennsylvania Railroad Companies for
free delivery service I'm Philadelphia,
such as is now given In Washington and
Baltimore. This move has made the
railroad officials more determined than
ever to have the free delivery service In
Washington discontinued. and to follow
it by disseminating the service likewise
In Baltimore.
The officials of both roads fear that IL
the Washington business interests are
successful in compelling the roads to
continue the free delivery service in this
city they will ultimately be compelled
to extend the service all over the coun-
try. What this would do to transfer
and teaming companies. as well as to the
railroads. would stagger the Imagination.

A brief on behalf of the Pennsylvania
and the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington Railroad companies has
been filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission seeking to have the COM
mission vacate its order suspending the
railroads proposal to discontinue free
freight deliveries to Washington.
This brief states the delivery service in
Washington recently has greatly in
creased in expense and further that II
has been agreed that railroads are not
compelled to make personal delivery Of
freight, and that II carriers do institute
such a service they may make a charge
that will not only reimburse them. but
will pay a reasonable profit.
The express company, which Is now in
the process of formation. as told In The
Herald some time ago, Is progressing
rapidly and, it is said. will be ready for
business shortly.

from the system. Also, to keep up certain

defend it's policies, the men qOAo are accused
should fee the lawyers.
II the various. Foreign Mission Boards feel
that it is necessary for them to defend their
crazy methods, they ought to bear the
expense, out Of their fat sazarses
In the first place, they tap the missionary
collections for salaries, and when they are
criticised for doing so, they again tap the
missionary collections to pay for the defense
of themselves against the criticism!
They depart from the Biblical command of
EPreacb the Gospel" and '"Feach the law as
nave Taught you.
That is the command: it is short, it is plain,
it IS Interchangeable
Yet these Boards have changed it. have
added to it, and have fastened upon the
Christian people of this. country the crushing
burden of doing the charitable and educa-
tional work of all creation
Christ never commanded us to do anything
more than to acqualnt every living creature
with His message. He never told us to send
tens of thousands of boys and girls, men and
women, doctors and dentists, nurses and
apothecaries, music teachers and farm
experts. blacksmiths and carpentersA
If Paul and Peter could come back, and
see what we are doing for the heather, those
Apostles would justly regard us as dangerous
lunatics.
But as I was saying, the, Boards, after
adopting these un-ScrIptuFaI methods of
school-work, tor-worl11 dentist work,
blacksmith and hospital-work, natur-
alIy find themselves criticized.
Then. they dip their hands; into the mis-
sionary collections and take out money to

Dear Doctor LOVefG.

!. but stern sense of duty requires that l
spread you upon my knee, as it were.
You are young, yet, and have much to
learn; and therefore, presuming upon my
gray hairs, [ seat myself to take you across
my lap, punitiyely.
Doctor, you are the editor Of most respec-
table and excellent paper known to mankind
as The Wesleyan Christian Advocate.
Many people, actuated by highly honora-
BILE intentions, subscribe to your paper. Some
of them read it. In behalf of these, [ now
administer mild but firm reproof and, as
have said, it hurts me to have to do So 1t
is for your good Doctor, and for the good
OF those who cheer their fatigued souls by
perusing your neat, but not gorgeous paper
"Coleman" is my text-E. w. Coleman, Of
Canton, Ga.
In the hilarious innocence Of his heart,
Brother Coleman wrote you a letter on For
eign Admissions. Evidently he had been
listening to missionary sermon, and had
been profoundly impressed. ct often hap
pens that way.)
Anyhow, he wrote you soulful letter in
which he ably argued that the money
invested in foreign missions paid the best
dividends.
For example, Brother Coleman said that
we had invested "a few thousands" in the
owned the Islands, which are worth untold
millions.'
Brother Coleman pointed out that the
natives Of the Island were SO grateful to us
for having sent the Missionaries, that they
wanted to show their gratitude IN some way,
and, having come to the conclusion that to
give US their country would be the. best evil
eence Of their gratitude, they gave us their
country!
Brother Coleman Justly regarded this act
OF gratitude as, something marvellous. He
did not know how those natives bucked and
kicked, and squealed when wei Christians
were gently dispossessing them of the
Islands, which they had enjoyed for many
ages until the fatal day when our Mission
aries landed.
It was the old story: the Christian mission
aries landed and fell upon their knees
After pra yer, they got off their knees
and landed on the aborigines.
Now, Doctor, you knew that: Coleman
didn't, but you did. Wherefore, then, did
you allow that worthy Brother to 90 SO. sadly
astray on the Sandwich business2
Then, again, you sat still and said nothing,
while Brother Coleman proceeded. at great
length, to prove that Foreign Missions con-
trolled the price of cotton,
In effect, Brother Coleman argued that the
missionary had found the heathen sitting In
darkness, without even a shirt on
The missionary rebuked the heather for
sitting In darkness, shirtless, and enjoined it
upon him strictly to 90 and buy a shirt
The heather rose up out of his darkness,
and made diIigent inquiry for cotton goods,
wherewith to make shirts.
Immediately, the price Of cotton scared.
The more missionaries we send to the
heather, the more heather rise up and buy
shirts. Therefore, the better the supply of
missionaries the better the price Of cotton.

Pop Corn willgrow well where a good corn crop can be raised. It is planted and cultivated in the same general manner as corn though it may be planted more closely. It ripens in about 100 days, and it should be shucked as soon as it is ripe so that it will dry out we'll before husking. It will produce from 50 to 60 bu- shels to the acre and will sell for from $1 to $2 per hushel. Considering the little trouble there is with this crop it is quite profitable.

He's the guy that put the But in Buttsville, and no matter what his friends or neighbors speak of or try to do, this fellow will al- ways be found hanging around with hammer in hand ready to give you the knock, or dissuade you from your purpose.

FARM WEEDS AND SANITATION

These two subjects are very important ones for the farmer to consider. The weeds take the life out of the soil and interfere with the better cultivation of the crops and unsanitary conditions take the life of the families and the live stock on !the farm. The farmer who wants to get the most enjoyment for himself and his family, needs to beware of the weeds and to adopt the very best sanitary rules.
 A very useful and interesting booklet combining the informat ion needed on these subjects has been published by the American Steel & Wire Go. of Chicago, and can be obtained free by simply asking for it. In writing don't forget to mention the Trucker and Farmer as your authority for the statement that the booklet is free.
