nese known to have viewed them, who.
like Left Ericsson In his discovery of
America, was driven to the islands by
a storm.
political conditions and crudeness
of transportation facilities, not lack of
value, long doomed the Ogasawaras to
remain without Inhabitants. Like most
lands Of volcanic origin they have an
exceedingly fertile soil. Because of
warm currents their climate is In eff
feet tropical, although they are just
north of the Tropic Of Cancer. Man
could have existed on them without
raising his hand In work. Wild beans
and profusion Of edible mushrooms
grew In the valleys and wild pine
apples and other fruits on the hill
sides. Palms and tree-ferns furnished
shade and greenery. And In other
ways the islands were like a Garden
Of Eden when they were explored by
the crew of an American whaler In
1923. There were no quadrupeds and
only few harmless reptiles, and the
birds, unmolested by any living thing.
were entirely without fear Of man and
could be caught by hand.
"At the present time the Islands
produce all the Japanese cereals and
many vegetables and fruits, and are
stocked with o the common domestic
animals. There also are wild goats,
sheep, pigs and even dogs and cats,
descendants of animals left by the first
settlers. OF course the production
from the islands amounts to little, for
those large enough for development
have an aggregate area Of only about
thirty square miles.
Had Many Claimants.
although they are closer to Japan
than to any other nation, the Ogasa-
waras came near not being Japanese
territory. There Is nothing to show
that the Japanese knew Of their ex-
istence before Prince Sadayari Ogasa-
wara was driven to their shores about
the end of the Sixteenth century.
whereas the Spanish explorer. villa
lobos first sighted them in 1913. The
Ogasawara family made the islands
theoretically a part of their feudal
land holdings, but they did not settle
them. and when Japan drew more Sc
curely into Its. shell In 1885 by for
bidding Its subjects to construct sea-
going vessels, oil touch with the
islands was lost for nearly hundred
years. and again from 1928 to 1861.
Abel Tasman, Dutch explorer, sur
veyed some OF the Islands early In the
Seventeenth century and American
whalers explored them IN 1923 and
1924. In : 1927 British admiral
claimed the islands for his country.
"The Ogasawaras received their first
settlers In 1890. They consisted of a
few British subjects from Hawaii who
seem to have led the expedition, few
Americans, Portuguese and handful
Of PoIynesians. They considered them
selves British colony. As late
MS 1875 these settlers and a few
others who had been added lived on
the islands without any government or
organization and without educational
facilities Of amy kind, trading. with the
yhalers who by that time frequented
the waters. In 1861 Great Britain re-
nounced all claims to the islands In
favor Of Jnpnn. and that year an UNI
successful effort was made to plant
japanese colony. Later shorts were
successful and the population now b
almost entirely Japanese"

Richmond. There are 200 children in
the first six grades of the Hagerstown
school. Sixty children attend the
school in the western part of the town
ship, and rs at the school in the east
ern part of the township.
1t is probable that when the new
high school, to be one of the largest
and best equipped buildings in the
county, is completed all the children in
the township who are in the first six
grades will receive their schooling at
the old Hagerstown school, the two
small township schools being closed.

ter Charles Porter believes that by
the end of the year the business of his
office will have increased to a point
where it will be advanced from third
to second class rating.
The business of the Indiana Piston
turing concern here, is, in a consid-
cradle measure, responsible for the in
crease in local postal receipts. The
company has been conducting an ad-
vertising campaign all of this year
and its literature is printed in Hagers-
town and distributed through the local
post office. The piston ring company
is employing the largest working force
in it's history.
1t is understood that the business
at the local post office has increased
to the extent that the post office de-
partment has authorized the employ
ment of an additional clerk, who will
soon be appointed.

School Is Crowded
The old Hagerstown school, recently
remodeled, is filled to overlooking with

and this condition will exist until the
new building, for the junior and senior

When the contract for the new school
was let it was with the understanding
that it would be completed by Deem
Der l, but for various reasons the work
has been delayed and w. o. Wissler

believe the building will be ready fol

At the present time the old Hagers

Death of Mrs. Arthur Brunson.

About seven O'clock last night the
angel of death entered the home of
Mr.. Arthur Brunson and bore away
the spirit of his beloved wife, who,
before their marriage, was Miss Ber-
tina Speights of WATERFORD, a sister
of Mrs. E. II. Folk. Mrs. Brunson had
been a great sufferer for more than
a year and although Mr.. Brunson had
carried her to the hospitals in Angus
ia several times for special treatment
no relief could be found. In fact,
some time ago loved ones were made
to realize that it was only a matter
of time before death would relieve
Mrs. Brunson of her suffering, but
the end was not expected at this time,
consequently the announcement of
her death was a great shock to her
friends.
Although Mrs. Brunson was not
very intimately known by a large
number of people, for she remained
close at home finding her chief joy
in making the home comfortable, at
tractive and happy for her loved
ones, yet she was genuinely beloved
by many friends, those approaching
her superior qualities and real worth
most who knew her best. Warm-heart-
ed, generous and unselfsh almost to
a fault, Mrs. Brunson never failed to
win the esteem and affection Of those
with whom she came in contact. She
was a devout Christian, a member Of
the First Baptist church.
Besides her devoted husband, Mrs.
Brunson leaves two daughters, Mrs.
Lydia Thompson, who has been with
her mother for some time affections
ately ministering to her, and Kate,
a little daughter four years old, and
two sons, S. A. Brunson, Jr., who is
in the navy, and Isaac Brunson. The
Advertiser extends sincere sympathy
to these bereaved friends.
The funeral and interment will
take place this afternoon at four
o'clock.
