Apple Epigrams

A little land and living is the slo-
gan of the hour.
The apple is the aristocrat of foods
and the best medicine.
The climate and conditions that are
best for apples are best for man.
Anarchy never gathered fruit from
its own apple tree.
Apple orchards are better nurseries
of citizenship than the deck of battle.
ships or military camps.
The man in the orchard is always a
good citizen.
Horticulture is a science, not a
guess.
The twentieth century is to be the
age of the apple, and Colorado is to
be the center of its empire.
The apple barrel is natures .medi-
cine chest.
I would rather trust a Judge that
loves apples than one that bankers
after. bear meat.
Apples are an antidote for drink and
tobacco.
Apples carry the pure food stamps
of the great physician.
The road that leads to the orchard
is the pathway to simple, happy,
prosperous life.

A Few aloe Dont's"

Don't double up like half-opened
jackknife while hoeing. Better bend
a hoe shank and stand up to it.
Don't chop the earth and let the
weeds lie in the row. Draw them out
into the cultivator space.
Don't go out with hoe without
file in your pocket. Filing a hoe is
easier work than cutting weeds with
dull one.
Don't fail to have one abbreviated"
hoe made from an old one. There are
many places it will fit.
Don't fool away much money on
patent" hand hoes. Better stick to
the old style.
Don't select hoe with a heavy
blade and crooked handle. 1t makes
you tired.
Don't take the new hoe yourself and
give. the old one to the boy because
it is light. 1t makes him tired.
Don't forget that it takes rs
dollars worth of time to wear out a
seventy-five cent hoe. 1t Is worth a
cent of money on the dollar of time
to have a good one to start with, and
then keep 1t good.
Don't do all the cultivating yourself
and make the boy do all the hoeing.
Change with him once ina while. You
have no idea how much it will rest you
to hoe for an hour or two.
Don't forget that a new hoe is about
the right shape to do the work re-
quired Of it. You can not improve the
pattern with round corners.
Don't forget that hoeing is "easy" or
hard" work, as you make It; tool
out Of order is hard on man or beast.
Don't imagine that because you hoe
like father did that you are doing a
good job. Maybe he didn't know how.
Don't think that just because you
went afie1d with hoe on your shout
der and came homo at night dead
tired" that you had been "hoeing."
Maybe you don't know how.

involved. We simply are concerned
with the 900 or more recognized COM

Mr.. Caskie. Of tho Freight Audit and

ed statement dealing with comparative
commodity rates between Washington
and the other points mentioned.
ut is to me an unreasonable rate
adjustment" he said, regardless of
any violation of the long and short
haul clause that may or may not exist
that permits the carriers to collect
higher charges per 100 pounds on the
articles named. shipped from tho North

than they collect from Frederickshurg ''
Mr.. Caskie then submitted proof to

sustain his contention that the charges
for the three cities involved arc not
too high. since they have been main
tanned at substantially their present
basis for more than twenty years.
"Tf these rates, then. to the Virginia
sire. and arc proft making. then 1t
stands to reason that the higher rates
for lesser service TO Washington are
unreasonable.
reasonably also is shown. according TO
Mr.. Caskic. by the fact that some COM
modities may he shipped here at less
cost. some at the same cost and some
at a higher cost than they may he
shipped to Fredericksburg.
He said that 100 pounds OF lard sent
from New York to Washington would
cost 81 cents, whereas It could he routed
"via Fredericksburs" and sent there for
Il cents and forwarded to Washington
for cents. thus effecting A saving OF
Ii cents.
"Unfair and Inwarranted."
Mr.. Caskie asserted that rates on the
direct line Of the Baltimore and Ohio.

ditions. are higher than can be had by
shipping by a more circuitous route.

The present situation vas character
lied by Mr. Cans as unreasonable.

In examining the witness Mr.. Mcken-
ny inquired whether he had considered
that competition with the water rates
made 1t necessary to fix a lower rate
for the Southern cities. Mr. Cans said
