SUNKEN HULK REMOVED.
Old Pungy Model Had Been Lying
in Mud for Many Years.

The first work done by the Murray
& Co.'S pile driver and mud-digger in
preparation for the rebuilding of the
old lumber pier at the wharf market
was the lifting out q the dock Of the
hulk of the old pungy Model, which
has been lying there for many years
The Model, a quarter Of a century ago
was one of the best known oyster run
ners on the Potomac, and was a reg
ular visitor to this port. under the
command Of David jenkins. who was
a familiar figure on the river, but had
been almost forgotten when the dredge
lifted the remains of the old vessel out
of the mud and worked 1t on the pier
to be broken up.
On one occasion the Model, on her
way up the river, struck floating log,
which went through her hull and ex-
tended up through the hatchway. With
this obstruction sticking in her. the
vessel was brought to this city. hauled
out on Benefits railway and rebuilt.
About twenty-five years ago she was
run in the dock at the fish wharf. and
there she remained until taken out
by the dredge. Little of the old craft
was left except her bottom planking
and timbers, which are said to be very
hard from their long submersion in
the water.

"Settle Up Week. "

One of the newest things in CONNER
cial enterprise is the development Of
the "settle-up campaign" which is be-
ing put into effect in a number Of pro-
gressive towns In tho middle west. the
credit Of originating 1t being due to
Waukan. Iowa.
The business mon OF the town desig-
mated certain week as "settle-up
week." The town was literally plao-
arded with signs such as Have you
paid your bills?" IF you will settle
with your grocer. he can pay his bills
to his wholesaler That will help all
along the line" IF you pay up you
help your merchant to get a cash dis
count. He can then sell goods cheaper"
The merchants notified the whole
salers of their effort and a number of
statements from wholesalers about the
concessions they could make to the cash
buyers were printed in the local pa
pers. It was announced that the mer-
chants would use all the money paid
in during the "settle-up week" in pay
ing their own bills to their wholesal-
ers. The Pay your bills" signs seen
upon every corner are regarded as
the most effective measure of the CAM
paign. which brought to the merchants
during that week more actual money
than most Of them had secured in any
previous month. It brought about the
wiping out of long standing accounts
which seemed likely to remain unpaid
indefinitely.

Peter Rabbit made that UP as he hur-
ried. lipperty-lipperty- over to the
Old Orchard to look for Johnny Chuck.
He found Johnny giving his youngest
children a lesson in the important art
Of watching out for danger. Peter sat
down to wait until the lesson was over.
When the youngsters were at last sent
scampering to join their mother at the
house under the old apple tree in the
far corner of the Old Orchard Johnny
Chuck turned to Peter with sigh.
IT'S a very responsible matter to
bring people up right, isn't it,? said he.
Peter nodded. TT certainly is he
replied. TT certainly is. That reminds
me Of what ] came over to see you
about, Johnny. Don't you think We
ought to train our children that 1t ism
enough to just watch out for them
selves. but that they ought to do the
same thing for their neighbors?"
Johnny Chuck considered this grave

opening his mouth to reply when i'm

"A what? Now, look here. Peter.
don't you go to calling me names:
We've always been friends. but being
called names is something L won't

sharply.
You are. Johnny, or anyway. you're
going to be a Quaddy." replied Peter.
Then, as he saw a frown gathering on
Johnny Chuck's face. he fastened to

TAKING A FAMILY
BACK TO THB SOIL
Being the Experiences Of a Gov
srnment Clerk Who Sets Out
to Lower the High Cost of
Living.

A new problem has arisen at Sunny
Knoll and 1t Is pressing for solution
We have chance, which may never
come again. of adding ten acres to our
holdings at something near a reason
able price. say something near a rea-
sonable price. but il isn't any too near.
at that We can buy the land toda y
for SIS an acre. Considered as an agri-
cultural proposition solely. it is worth
not to exceed $40 an acre. The ques-
tion we have to decide is: What is 1t
worth to US?
our trouble in reaching decision
lies in the fact that everything pertain
ing to Sunny Knoll has to be looked
at from dual standpoint. Primarily
IL is home. where Jane and l expect
TO spend the remaining days of our life.
Considered as desirable addition to
our home, we wouldn't hesitate a min
ute about buying the ten acres. But
in order to justify a country home at
ali we have got to make it pay as
are doing too much hard work not to
insist upon having a financial return.
If all We wanted was house with
breathing space around it, we could
live in some nearer suburb on a so by
lo0-foot lot, and have all the benefits
of outdoor exercise. What we are
looking forward to is a day when I can
give up office work and make a living
from the land. What we are forced
to ask ourselves. therefore, is whether
the additional ten acres would help
toward that end whether. under
present circumstances. it would be
handicap.
Lies Back of Sunny Knoll
The additional ten acres are contigu-
Gus TO Sunny Knoll. but do not adjoin it
in any very extensive sense The tract
touches the back part of our place for
distance of about 100 feet. lying off at
an angle. That doesn't make any very
material difference. except that it would
be more expensive to fence and would
not be quite SO convenient.
This fact isn't so important as the
other fact that the land isn't tillable
now, and couldn't be made so without
considerable work and expense 1t isn't
even pasture land About half of it is
heavily wooded with second-growth tim
her, the value of which as cord wood
would about pay for having it cut This
would leave us five acres of stumps
which could be pulled or blown I'D at
further expense, or the land could be
gotten into pasture of low value The
other five acres are covered with scrub
brush of about the kind which Lee Gus
tis cleared off three acres of my land

Officials of the schools have no views
to express on the subject at present.
They are, rather. i'm receptive frame
of mind The question of allowing
fraternities and sororities to exist in
the Districts public schools has been
long matter of discussion. and scores
of strong advocates are to be found to
defend each side of the proposition
In the report made by Chairma n
Henry A. Hesse last evening the fol-
lowing were included in the allegations
against high school secret societies:
That high school girls of sixteen and
seventeen years were seen going home
at IL o'clock at night from a sorority
dinner at So a plate at a fashiona BILE

That loyalty of fraternity and soror-
ity members has gone so far as to
cause them to help backward members
