HIGH SCHOOL HAS BIG ENROLL
 MENT FOR FIRST TWO WEEKS

Our school to date has enrolled 210 pupils, AS of whom are high school students. The auditorium will barely accommodate all during chapel exercises.
 The room attaining highest percentage of attendance, and containing no pupil with a de- pertinent less than 8596, will be given half-holiday each month. Boys who maintain a daily grade above 80 per cent will be allowed to play football match games. The same rule applies to girls in regard to basketball games.
 School is progressing nicely. Pupils are purchasing all the. books they need as they are re- ceived by the book store, and every pupil in school will be re- quired, under a limited time ar engagement, to secure every book that will be needed.
 At various times during the school-year, various reports in re- gard to matters in school will be in circulation. We advise that all doubtful reports you hear should not be considered as vera cious until you talk with the teachers. If you have any com plaints to make, your child's teacher should be consulted. If the teacher and the parent keep in touch with each other, no mis- understandings will arise, and your child will be the beneficiary.
 By all means, if you care any thing for your school, be loyal to it, and to your child's teacher

Bitter Rot in Storage.

Do not store apples from an or chard in which there is much bitter rot, even if the apples themselves seem perfectly clean. This applies especially to Jonathan and Grimes va rieties. It often happens that very small bitter rot spots are overlooked in culling, and apples stored with these spots on them go down very quickly upon removal from storage- J.

$25 WILL BE RETURNED
TO ANGLERS ASSOCIATION
Fee Collected at Time Of Reincor-
poration Unnecessary, Controller
of Currency Holds.

The Anglers Association Of Washing
ton is to get back $25 collected from
that organization in error, and will
receive 1t without the usual red tana
or delay incident to an approximation
by Congress.
Ihe association, incorporated in 1895.
upon Its reorganization and reincorpo-
ration, August 6 of this year. was
charged S25 as fee in compliance with
law passed in 1905. requiring that
sum to be paid as a minimum for the
incorporation privilege. Other laws
however. authorized existing corpora
tons merely to file a certificate of re-
organization, and granted the priyi-
lege of fixing the term Of corporate life.
Such reorganizations, in the opinion Of
Controller Of the Treasury Warwick,
are not to be regarded as new incorpo-
rations. for which a fee is collectible.
and under this Interpretation this par-
ticular fee Is regarded as collected in
error.
That the association will get its
money back in short order is Indicated
by the fact that the fees of the re-
corder of deeds of the District are in
his charge and are retained by him
to the amount necessary to pay his sal
airy. Not until he has reported his COL
lections and turned over the surplus
to the United States Treasury is the
matter out of his Jurisdiction. He has
full power, therefore, according to the
controller of the Treasury in his de-
cision regarding the matter, to correct
any errors of his office in this respect.

Permanent P. O. STATION
is QUESTION FOR FUTURE
Merchants Appeal Not Affected by
Closing Of Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. Branch, Postmaster Says.

THE closing Of the postal station at
1921 Pennsylvania avenue Saturday
evening is in no sense to be construed
as decision of the question establish
ing permanent station on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, as recently requested by
Washington merchants, said Postmas-
ter Chance today. That is an entirely
independent proposition that is still
under consideration and is in no way
ahected by the other matter"
The station to be- closed Saturday
evening will have run the time limit
set In the order creating it purely for
the added business incident to the G.
A. R: encampment. 1t was never con-
templated that the station should he
made permanent. Mr.. Chance said. and
the impression that seems to have gone
abroad to that effect Is not based upon
any utterance of the postmaster.
Nor Is the time yet ripe" said Mr..
Chance, for the expression of an ut
terance of official character touching
the recent appeal made by the mer-
chants for permanent station in the
Post Office Department building. That
is proposition that requires the con-
sideration of many details and cannot
be answered at this time"

The Burglar

The burglar goes swiping while
honest men sleep, their noses
a-piping forth SHORES loud and
deep. The burglar goes stealing,
on pussy-foot boot, with deft hng-
ers feeling around for the loot. He
may get spoon or silver tea
pot, but later or sooner the bur-
glar is shot. Some night when he's
rakin' around by your bed the
sleeper will waken and fill him
with lead. A cell in prison, and
work without pay-such fortune
is his'n, or will be some day. No
comforts can reach him while
serving his time; you'd think it
would teach him the folly Of
crime. You'd think he'd endeavor,
when once he is free to cut out
forever. the loot-hunting spree.
But when the grim cooler has
opened its door one hope is his
ruler-to burgle some more! He
goes forth a-stealing, he wallows
in sin, and peelers come peeling
and gather him in. Why is he so
mulish, so stubborn, insane? The
fellow so foolish requires new
brain. For honesty's easy. and
profits us well, but crimes always
cheesv and ends in a cell. Oh,
BARNS, hear me gurgle this warn
ing to you: Don't learn how to
burgle, whatever YOU do!
