STRONG APPEAL
The People Of Martinshurg Are Told
Why They Should Support
The institution.

TUG iilSAtAAitNtis
Why should the people of Martins.
burg be called upon TO support the
Stone Settlement Home?
The reasons are numerous. First, be-
cause it is aiding the sick and desti.
tute of the town-not only giving
them food to eat and clothes TO cover
them, but investigating the causes
which produce the poverty and suf-
fering, and attempting to remedy
these moral ills.
Second, because it cares for all ne
elected or unfortunate children in
Martinsburg and vicinity whose par
ents may be i'll or destitute. In
many cases finding Christian homes
for little waits
Third, because it attracts the young
people from the streets by the social
life offered
Fourth. because through its indus
trial clubs it teaches the boys and
girls TO want to do things worth while
and to preserve in the doing-both
principals necessary to building char
acter ana developing responsible
men and women.
Fifth. because through its play
ground it provides stimulating exer-
else which is a beneficial and limo
cent outlet for the physical energy,
which, if suppressed works evil in
their lives
Sixth. because through its gymna-
stun classes the members are taught
TO know themselves and to under
stand the world; to care for themsel-
yes accordingly which knowledge is
a great step toward social virtues.
Seventh. because through the kin
dergarten the minds of the little ones
are open to the many beautiful and
useful things about them, The ground
is prepared and the seed sown which
develops Christian character and
makes of them, in time, responsible
citizens.
Eigth, because the mothers of these
little ones are learning to know them
selves, their children and their home
life. with all their attendant respon-
sibilities, from the standpoint of the
Roo
ton and the raising of the standard
of living in the family circle.
Ninth, because through all its de-
partments, both industrial and reli-
gious it teaches the love of Christ
made applicable to every day life.
and many have turned to Him.
Tenth, because the opportunities to
help people aid themselves have so
developed the work that it has not
only outgrown the missionary society
through whose efforts it was started,
but is proving too great a financial
burden for the present board of man
ayers, the twenty women represent
ing the different denominations in
Martinsburg.
As the people OF Martinsburg are
deriving all the benefits accruing
from the many departments of this
charitable work, can we afford to let
this institution, which is such a power
in developing and purifying our civic
life close its doors for lack of friends?

IOWA FRUIT AGAIN SCORES
Year-oId Apples Found to Be in Per-

feet Condition..
Iowa fruit has scored another NC,
tory. 1t has keeping qualities of a
high order, fact that Las been dem.
onstrated in a rather exceptional man
ner
Last autumn w. S. Keeline filed an
order given by H. w. Binder and
placed in Council Bluffs cold storage
plant a number of boxes OF Jonathan
apples. The stock was sufficient to
last Binder throughout the supposed
apple season and it was thought that
the last box was taken out some time
last spring. Recently the cold storage
people called Binder on the telephone
and asked him how much longer he
expected to keep in storage the re-
manning box of apples. Inquiry dis
closed that one box had been ever
looked and had been unintentionally
permitted to remain in storage. 1t
was opened and the apples were found
to be in state of perfect preserva-
ton. With the exception of the added
richness and mellowness of age, all
were in the same condition as when
taken from the Keeline orchard last
fall, nearly a year ago.
