Honor to the ADbla.

Tuesday was Apple day all over the
/ and, the ninth anniversary devoted
to singing the praises and promoting
the best development of that mos:
abundant and valuable of our fruits,
the cultivated apple. Due homage
was paid to the delectible fruit which
>cal let's our land and makes half the
poetry of the autumnal season. PenL-
sylvania bushes under her red-cheek-
ed honors III this respect, but the
rational apple orchard has its lus-
eli us and thickly loaded branches
with rich, ripe apples at every
point of the compass. From Vir.I
ginia TO Main. from Rhode Island to
Oregnn and from the Arkansas up
| ndI to the placid wales OF many
N ~ York state ,icy apples of many
kind, and varied ,lors have been
ripenjrg in the autumn's sun, to be
g .thered and stored for use and
Ell .yment during the long winter
m 'nths Latterly The Poetic coast
has been supplying itself and the east
with apples So attractive in appear
ance and so carefully cared for in
shipment that it has been orne in on
our own producers that better at
tention given to their orchards and
apple crop would be profitable. A
better selection OF varieties in plant
ing, more careful cultivation OF the
orchard and much better care in pick
ing and packing tine fruit are now the
rule among those, who grow apples
that find ready sale. The deadly
enemy, the scale, must be fought at
all times until vanished. If Apple

home to our eastern apple growers

farm may be made one of its most inn

NsoIecsed Neiohboehoods,

You can find in almost any town
neglected neighborhood." The east
est thing to do with such a neighbor-
hood Is to keep on neglecting it
1t is so easy for US to study these
topics as If they were about other
places and people than ourselves and
our homes. Is there u neglected cor
ner In your town or in your county?
II there is. what are you going to do
about It? Not What have you been
doing about it?' or What ought you
to do about it?' but What are You
going to do about it?"
If you can't get the committees in
terested do something yourself. Do
not be afraid.
The thing Is to get started. You see.
rs soon as you have started something
the neighborhood is no longer leg-
lected. And then it will be an easier
matter to get some one to come In and
help.-Christian Herald.

Safeguard Valley Turnpike

President Harry F. Byrd, Director
C. w. Heater and Superintendent L.
R. Dettra. of the Valley Turnpike
Company, have recently been te Stras-
burg for the purpose of inspecting the
roadway at Fishers Hill, with view
of more thoroughly protecting the
travelling public from danger OF col
lision and running off the embank-
ments on this part of the road.
Among the improvements proposed
by the Valley Turnpike Company tor
the protection of the travel at this
point is the widening of the roae
about ten feet at the sharp curve near
B.y's garage and the construction OF
a substantial cencreate wall on the
west side of the road, so that the
possibility of conveyances going
down the embankment will be entirely
prevented.

UNCLE SANS EXPERIENCE
IN GOVERNING ORJENTALS

BY ALEXANDER SIDNEY LANIER.
Late Assistant to the Attorney Cen
eral of the Philippines.
Continued from last weeks issue)
There is no act of the Ameri-
can Government in the islands of
which the natives have shown so
much appreciation as the es-
Enlistment of the public schools,
and the provisions for free public
education. The Filipino has
evinced an eager thirst for educa-
ton, and, very much to the credit
of the natives, the largest single
appropriation ever made by the
legislature was for the mainte-
nance and extension of the public
schools, and that too, when the
amount of the appropriation was
a grievous burden to be borne by
by the people, considering their
great poverty. :,
AS the apex of the educationa |
system in the Philippines there
has been established by the gov
eminent at Manila a university,
known as the University of the
Philippines. and there is every
reason to believe and hope that
it will in time deve1ope into a
most creditable institution of
learning. Agriculture is the
primary resource of the country,
and to further its interests there
has been established as part of
the university system an Agri-
cultural College at Los Banos,
which is doing good work
A Normal School is maintained
at Manila for the training OF ma
tivevteachers, which has already
turned out a large number, who
are efficiently filling positions
formerly held by Americans.
The Filipino has a phenomi-
nal aptitude for languages, and
in the short time since the es-
Enlistment of the public schools
there are more natives speaking
English today than ever spake
Spanish at any one time in over
three hundred and fifty years oil
Spanish rule. There are ovel
half a million children in the
public schools, and the number
is limited only by the accommo
cations.
Unfortunately for the dis
cipline in the public schools W,
have had some men at the .heat
of them who had very peculial
ideas about the management o
children. A late Director O
Educate issued an order for
bidding corporal punishment j,
the schools. It was = mere sol
to the whims and caprices Of til,
natives, and unworthy Of thos'

tions to make up the deficiency,
and that too when the country is
capable of producing enough to
supply the needs of population
of millions.
The government, to further en-
courage agricultural development
and forestall adverse seasons, has
appropriated large sums for the
construction of irrigati n works.
To utiliz, these funds to The
greatest advantage it has had men
studying the methods of irrigation
in India and Egypt with view
to adopting the best, and many en-
gineers have beer brought over
from the United States to super
wise and direct the establishment
OF these works.
One OF the greatest mistakes
made by The government has been
its coddling policy towards the
Filipino, and its effort to preserve
everything for him, and protect him
from all competition. Its inten-
ton is good, but the policy is based
upon false idea OF economies ard
the character of the natives. A
an incident of this policy the
Chinese exclusion laws were ap-
piled By Congress to the islands
and in pursuance OF the act of Con-
gr'ss the Philippine Commission
enacted a law requiring all
Chinese residing in The islands
prior to an at tn. time of Amefi
can ocupation to take out within :.
given time certificates of registra-
ton upon p i'll of being deporie'
ron the islands should they fail t
do so. There were Thousands Of

rageous and inhumln expressions
In fact it is reproach to our ma
ton, for we would not dare treat The
representatives OF any other ma

manner. For example, compare
our treatment o. TIL, Chinese with
our treatment of AMI attitude

the interests or rights Of the latter
are involved our attitude Is one OF

The Bridges That We Build But

Lofty or low, meath dark or sunny

Through the long centuries, in every
cline,
The Castles of Imagination rise.
And of their airy beauty Poets write,
In flowing lines of roundelay Or

Painting with glowing words their tul-
rets bright.
But OF all structures in our Fancy
wrought,
One is most famous for its useful.
And for the fret and trouble it has
brought.
Into the lives of those who spend their
force
In vain anxiety, who forward press
And strain to build the Bridge they
never cross.
Deep In the valley of Disheartment,
Over the stream of Possibility,
Joining the banks of Doubt and Dis.

A lesson to the narrowed, let them
How much they waste on what they
