Apple Exports.

which are figured in the foregoing at
three boxes to the barrel.

Our New Commercial Body.

The efforts being made by those in
charge. of the reorganization of the
Board of Trade, putting it on firm
footing and in position to be a world
of good to the community, is in every
way commendable
What Charles Town Ransom and JEFF
ferson county has needed q long time
is a wide awake organization, one
without selfish or private or personal
interests, one working for the common
good of the whole people.
With the plans already adopted for
the government of the new organiza-
ton we can already see an organiza-
tion that will be credit to this COM
muity in more ways than one. It will
be credit because it will be minus
fossilism. minus greed for self, minus
pickering and dickering and minus pet
ty jealousies. In every way it will be
an organization that will have its sole
aim the bettering of conditions in the
community in which we live and for
the purpose Of making it so grand and
glorious, in every way that others will
be attracted here to live.
First, the Board of trade must assist
the farmers and fruit growers in their
affairs. Help them in selling their
products and buying their supplies
help in every way possible
we must also make it possible to get
other industries to locate in Jefferson
county, and we can do this if we pro-
vide sufficient homes for the workmen,
homes that will be moderate in rent,
yet model in construction and conven-
fences. We must also make it attrac-
tive for manufacturing concerns in
that their taxes shall not be high and
neither shall their water rents. Yet
in doing all this we must not put the
whole burden upon the small property
owner or the man who earns his living
by the sweat of his brow. There
must be an equal distribution, and
each and every one shall stand his
proportionate share.
In this way can Charles Town Ran
son and 1eferson county hope to make
Charles Town-Ranson and Jefferson
county greater manufacturing and
commercial center.
Let every man in Charles Town Ran
son and Jefferson county, without con
sidering creed. wealth or ambition, af-
filiate himself with the Board of Trade
Let everyone put his shoulder to the
wheel and work for greater commu
nifty as well as greater Board of
Trade.

British ROYAL Family.

One hundred years ago ERgland held
a national jubilee in celebration Of the
centenary Of the accession Of the
House OF Hanover to the English
throne. The first Of the Hanoyerians
line was George /, who succeeded to
the throne OF Great Britain and Ire
land on the death Of Queen Anne. AN
gust /, TIA. Georges succession to
the throne came through his mother,
the electress Sophia of Hanover, who
was granddaughter of James l. The
most conspicuous figure in the reign
of George l was Sir Robert Walpole,
who was the first prime minister Of
England. The fact that George could
speak no English, while his ministers
could speak no German, taken with
the other fact that the king preferred
to spend much of bis time in Hanover,
gave to the Office Of prime minister,
that Walpole was the first to hold, the
character that 1t has since retained.

himself SO fortunate as twelve-year-old

AS the boy plunged into the water
his cries and the splash OF the body
were heard by two young women
crossing the Third avenue bridge.
With rare presence of mind one of
the young women threw her parasol
to the boy. The latter, unable to
swim, grasped at the sunshade. and It
supported him like a buoy. He was
kept afoat until several men, res
cued him by throwing q rope to him.
The young woman who deprived
herself Of her parasol, thereby assist
ing in saving the boys life, could not
be found by those who witnessed the
accident. Instead she hurried away.
