Sketch Of Original Grimes Golden
Tree.

West Virginia will lead every state
in the union in the growth and product
ion of appIes within the next ten years
acco ding to Commissioner Of Agricul-
ture Howard E. Williams.
The rapid strides that our state is
making in apple growth is simply
marvellous" said Mr.. Williams. ''The
farmers of West Virginia seems to be
able to put out larger and finer crops
Of the fruit every year and the average
in West Virginia is booming with leaps
and bounds.
"At the present New. York and Mis-
souri, are the big apple States, but
West Virginia is already starting to
crowd them and by ten years predict
that they will be far outstripped.
THE original tree which started
West Virginia to enter it's energy on
apples still stands. It is the original
Grimes Golden tree and stands on the
farm of Thomas Grimes in Brooke
county. 1t was seeding and develop
ed into the best bearing tree known in
the state. From then on the apple in
dustry beganato boom in West Virginia,
particularly the Grimes Golden which
are some of the best apples grown in
the United States.
The apple crop is not confined to
any one portion of the state, however.
There are big successful commercial
orchards in Mason, Cabell and Eanawha
counties. as we'll as in the northern
panhandle. But the biggest and best
crops at the present time come from
the eastern panhandle Jefferson,
Berkeley, Morgan, Mineral and Hamp-
shire counties.
"There the business seems to have
advanced more rapidly and on larger
scale than any other section; of. the
state, this being probably due to the
fact that those counties find easier &C
cess to the eastern market.
"Some fine apples are also produced
in Monroe county, farmer, by the
name of Scott producing in hislorcharc
on the edge of Monroe county along
the Greenbrier line the apples which
took the gold medal at the Ihtdrnation
al Pathological Society exhibition il
Bost few years back. The car,
and production of apples is mol a diff
cult feat. but requires g. eat dealo
time and is tedious. But west vir
ginia growers seem to have set them
selves to establish monopoly on tn
apple market and are making the mos
wonderful strides ever heard Of in tina

Democracy.

Every day the progress of >the
European War accentuates a be-
lief that behind it all there is
grand scheme. A scheme of
greater than human origin, con-
eeived in the dawn of history.
The development of this same
scheme debased proud Jerusalem,
broke in pieces the powerful and
efficient rule of Rome and created
on the wild shores of America
great nation, That scheme en-
compasses the welfate of all man
kind and spells democracy.
In spite of the seemingly i'm
pregnable thrones of tfie family
ruled nations, in spite of any and
all compelling organization whose
maintenance tends to the curtail-
ment of the mental and physical
growth of any man, democracy
will win.
Revolution after revolution will
occur till the perfect government
is finally evolved. A government
in which the highest attainment
Of mans endeavor will be sure of
its full reward.
The plan of this development,
always proceeding, is now, by
: this war, being carried rapidly
on its way to fu1flment. How
far will be determined by the
wars length. Its completion
will possibly require that present
methods of government in Europe
be entirely eliminated.
Peace within a year or two
would not accomplish this. Would
not abolish even militarism. Cruel
and horrible as the thought is,
we cannot blink the belief that
the full emancipation of democ'
racy will require that the wal
proceed till the last shot is fred
till complete exhaustion enfold.
dumbfounds and dethrones it's in

1t is indiscernible to the strong

If carried to that conclusion
this cataclysm of FIRE and .swor'
will then mark an epoch thai

pie who went to show their interest in
the new educational institution and to
congratulate Miss Duval, the principal.
upon the transformation she has
wrought in the grounds and buildings.
The regular evening service of the

pecial prayers suitable to the dedicatory
nature of the service. Mr.. N. Irving
Hyatt. music director of St. Hilda's
was in charge of the music. He Yves
assisted by the full vested choir of
Zion Church Charles Town. The con-
gregation entered into the service both
by responses and singing in whole
hearted way good to hear.
Mr.. McDowellin his address voiced
the feelings of many present when he
paid a tribute to Miss Duval's work in
Virginia at Stuart Hall, the character
and success of which will provefa splen-
did foundation for carrying on the
same kind of work in Weat Virginia.
Mr.. Mcdowell spoke of st. Hilda' 8
unique position in being the first ed
i vocational institution to bear that name
in the United States. and also the first
church school in West Virginia. 1t
was at the suggestion of the bishops
in West Virginia diocese, who recog-
nized the need of a college preparatory
school of the first rank, that Miss Du-
val came to West Virginia, audit is
upon the support of the church people
that she depends for her continued sue
cess.
! In reference to the name and old
traditions of St. Hilda. Mr.. Mcdowell
was very Interesting. He explained
the important part in church history
and education which the old abbey and
Whitby especially played St. Hilda
as the aEbess of Whitby was the found.
er of the first college for women.
Her memory is honored in England by
the many schools which bear her name,
and st. Hilda's in Charles Town will

the school. The girls reading room il
called "Whitby," the assembly bal

j the school motto ''Gaudium Certamin

; ideal which the school wishes to show
! forth.

Last week we drove over roads
in Fauquier, Warren and Kappa
hammock counties, Virginia,
which were pretty nearly perfect
highways.
Only a few years ago they were
almost impossible at times and
the general improvement in the
localities traversed is remarkable.
The roads have be constructed
under the supervision of the State
Engineer by convict. labor which
is furnished without cost, the
counties supplying the necessary
material and machinery.
Similar laws are now in effect
in West Virginia and our neigh
boring county of Berkeley, among
others is availing itself of the
ornortunity to get her roads built
at the minimum of~cost.
In some sections of Jefferson
the notably the Harpers
Ferry turnpike-are in deplorably
bad condition, so bad in fact that
motoring tourists bound up the
Valley are lodging Jefferson on
their trips in favor Of the better
travel via Martinsburg.
Would it not be a pious idea to
try tout the system which has
bee found so economical an6
effective elsewhere !?

BILLION A YEAR FOR AUTOS.
From the Brooklyn Eagle
Sixty year ago, when John G. Sake
was one of the most popular humorists,
one of his hits was some verses called
t'Where the Money Goes" Today a
poem of that title would fall fiat. The
answer is to simple. If the money is
in dollars. it goes for motorcars, and
if it is in nickels it is gathered in by
the movies.
There is more chance for speculation
and interest in asking where the money
to maintain these two prosperous lux
urles comes from. A good guesser has
lately figured out that we spend 81, 600
900 600 a year on motoring. Whatever
we do spend-whether s., 900, 0O0. 600
or two or three-goes into the Golfers
of the motorcar makers, the tire MAX
ers. the producers of gasoline and
lubricating oils, the makers of motor
ing togs, the wages of chauffenrs and
the like.
