WEST yIRGINIA'S APPLES

The Grimes golden apple did not
emanate from Hampshire county as
stated in recent issue of the Times.
This famous fruit was discovered on
the Grimes farm in Brooke county
more than a century ago. The old
tree was still standing last August
according to the American Fruit
Grower. AT intervals it is oiled and
scraped in order to preserve it as
long as possible. When it finally sue
cumbs another tree of the same va
riety will be planted in its place.
This apple has found its way into
every land where apples are grown
and many famous horticulturists have
made long journeys to where the par
ent tree still stands
West Virginia has given the world
another apple, which may surpassothe
Grimes. 1t is known as the Golden
Delicious and the Seeding was found
on a mountain side in Clay county.
The owner, "A. H. Mulens. was paid
5000 for the tree and it is enclosed
in steel cage with burglar alarm
system. 1t has supplied budding
stock for thousands of trees now in
bearing.
Nature seems to place her finest
gifts in her remote chambers, but
where quality excells they are certain
to prove their worth. This is also
true Of men and the works of men
Mark Twain said that God went to the
forest and set Abraham Lincoln up
in His own back yard and according
to his own notion and for the great
purpose which Honest Abe" lived to
accomplish.
Isolation is no bar. eff you car
preach better sermon, write better
book, or make better mouse trap
than your neighbor,. although you
lived in wilderness, the world will
make beaten path to your door"

RED CROSS

Believing that so very few know
anything about the program OF the
National Red Cross to be worked out
i thru the various Chapters or the
kind and. quantity of work it is at
tempting to do it is thought that
some of the more important work
should be explained.
The Red Cross is establishing
Health Centers throughout the whole
country equipped to take up and care
for any kind of work necessary to be
done. To establish one of these Health
Centers successfully it is absolutely
necessary tii3t tie Chapter employ a
nurse or pc sibly two and arrange
for the medical attention required IN
some cases therefore to establish and
maintain such an organization means
that it must have all of the Chapters
\ jurisdiction back of it at all times.
/ In 1919 the Barbour County Chap
ter had $3.50 members, this year it
! has less than one fourth that many.
A Health Center organizer Of Wash
ington, D. G. has paid US two visits
and we were unable to get more than
about eight people together to hear
an explanation of the organization
and some Of the good they had done
other places. Therefore it was not
possible to establish a Health Center
but the Chapter does have a Home
Service Section located on the third
floor of the Citizens National Bank
building at Philippi, Phone No. 132 OF
which Mrs Flora M. Diddle is Chair
man. The people of this County must
realize that one person cannot VISIT
the homes Of all who may need help
or can it be done with the very few
who are willing to aid it, and the only
way the County can have first class
service from the Red Cross is to have
a first class organization which 1t VIII
take more than $50 members to make.
The Home Service Section is ready
and anxious to help each and every
one calling upon it but it is impossible
for it to hunt them up, as it will be
appreciated by the Chapter if anyone
4 seeking the aid of the Red Cross will
write. phone, or if possible visit the
offices personally. 1t is impossible
for the Chapter to do what it would
like to do, as it does not have the
funds and if the work is done it will
hace to be done by the people who
can go right into it and help.
Hoping the Chapter may have a
better understanding with the people
of this County and again soliciting
your inquiries to the Home Service
Stecion for help we beg to assn ryou
that we will give you prompt service
and as good or better than the present
conditions permit.
