MONUMENT TO APPLE.

Whoever heard of a monument erected IN
honor of an apple? Nobody, until the other
day when, at Proctorville, in Laurence coun-
ty, Ohio, large assemblage OF persons gath
cred for that purpose and to offer their re-
spects TO the Rome Beauty.
More than a century ago-in 1917, to be
exact-the first tree OF that now famous va
riety OF apple was planted near Proctorvi!le
by boy named Alanson Gillette. 1t was a
mere twig which his father threw to him,
saying, You can have that; don't want 1t,
Thousands of buds did it yield for grating,
and in the course of time many and extensive
orchards came to be made up Of its progeny
and descendants.
Today the Rome Beauty is the leading va
riety grown in Ohio. AS remarked by one
of the speakers at the dedication OF the me-
mortal, it is "Ohio's best gift to the apple
growing industry"
The monument, established by the Ohio
State Horticultural Society, is huge boul-
der, somewhat apple like in shape bearing
a bronze tablet with an inscription that re-
cites the virtues Of this apple and its history.

MILLIONS FOR GREE" SEEDS.

In 1889 congress gave $1,000 to the patent
office for the purpose OF procuring and dis
tributng seeds of rare and improved varie-
ties" and for gathering agricultural stats
tics From this innocent beginning has been
built up the great annual free distribution OF
seeds by senators and congressman, which is
a monstrous and notorious graft. In the last
forty-five years it has cost the taxpayers
nearly $9000,000.
What it amounts to is a privilege accorded
congressman of distributing prize packages
among their constituents free of cost to them
selves This, of course, is valuable from an
electioneering point of view, each representa-
tive and senator being thus enabled to indi-
cate remembrance of his constituents in
dividualy without spending a cent. He does
not even pay the postage, but merely FUR
nishes the requisite address bearing his
frank Uncle Sam does the rest. The sim
cerity of congressman in their remarks favor
ing economy undergoes a crucial test when
this item comes up for consideration.
Secretaries of the department of agricul-
ture, one after another, have protested against
this graft; but in vain. From year to year
the appropriation for the purpose has been
made larger. In 1870 II rose 10 9oO,OOO' IL
1911 it was $289, 900 Secretary Meredith, a
year ago. urged that it be cut out. The re-
spouse Of congress was further increase to
S360O00. which is the amount spent during
the present year for free seeds. There is no
pretense that the seeds are of any real use
to anybody How could they be? The indi-
vidual recipient gets FIVE little packets, the
contents weighing altogether about two
thirds of an ounce. They are common veg
etable or flower seeds-cabbage, cucumber,
squash turnip, tomato, or nasturtium, mig
nonette etc.
Each congressman is entitled to his quota"
of so many thousand packages. If he comes
from an urban constituency he may and OF
ten does, exchange his seeds for public docu-
ments which an agricultural member hands
over to him as Swap" Brokers have done
a profitable business in government seeds,
buying up quotas entire, and, with cellars full
of them, selling them to representatives at
one-fourth their cost to Uncle Sam.
Formerly the seeds were put into the en-
velopes with spoons by a large force OF girls.
Now machines are used which fill and seal
the packets automatically, each machine turn
ing out from $4,000 to $4,000 day.

MR. HARDJNG'S ESTIMATE.

The Washington correspondent OF the Ma
con Telegraph says it is now generally con-
coded in political circles that the main diff
Guilty the democrats will have in defeat
ing the republican party at the next election
is the popularity of President Harding. In
making this observation, says the Telegraph,
democratic and republican politicians appear
to have more political insight than one might
have given them credit for"
The average citizen, asked to name the
outstanding achievement of President Hard
ing's first year in Office, would probably des-
ignate the Washington conference, and would
be quite likely to add that the general i'm
provement in international relations aside
from the work of that gathering is the most
Important result thus far obtained
Mr.. Harding indulging in retrospect of his
first year, is reported without minimizing the
conference to estimate the matter differently
If the interviewer is accurate in his state
ments the president names as first in import
ance the budget system, with its resulting
better business methods in the country's big
gest business and the great savings effected
Next in order the president places the sue.
cess attained by Secretary Mellon in refund
ing the war debt finding money to meet ma
turing liberty bonds, reducing the interes
rate and taking up obligations as they fal
due without disturbing the markets and or
binary processes of business.
| The arms conference and its resulting
treaties together with other international &C
accomplishments, Mr.. Harding places third or
his list.
1t is not difficult to perceive why Mr.. Hard
| ing should place his first years record in thr
order. The great pressing need OF the coun
try is to get back on a sound business basis
That is the big thing for all OF us. And thu
steps which Mr. Harding regards of para
mount importance have been the steps lead
ing directly to that consummation, withou
which any other achievement would be futil'
and valueless.

Town Chickens.
From the Vienna News.

This is the time of year when the folks
who love the beautiful and are willing to eX
ert themselves in the business OF beautify-
ing wards and public grounds start their
work for the wear There is another class
of individuals however, who are not possess
ed OF this same worthy spirit who are great
hindrance to these altruistiC ones. These are
the folks who have chickens that sleep at
home and board at their neghbOrs. Ii per-
son were to start out with his or her family
to get his daily sustenanCe from the tables
of his neighbors he would be condemned as
a parasite for no honorable person would
be willing to feed from his neighbours table
Is an honorable person, then, willing for his
neighbours? The principle is identicay the
same.
There are a great many people who raise
chickens in town who shut them in so they
will not annoy anyone. This is a splendid
thing: we do not advocate the doing away
with chickens entirely, but we do advocate
the doing away with those that are allowed
to roam at will and destroy the property OF
|others
This should be legally prohibited. but ii
the public can't get this protection they have
one recourse 10 which they are fully justified
in resorting-k the chickens.
If the owners are so inconsiderate as to al
low their chickens to destroy the property
OF others the injured ones should give them
little OF their own medicine. At this time
when home gardens are so important. and
flowers are always important, It Is not right
that such useless destruction should be al
lowed.
The rowing chickens is public nuisance,
and as such it should be done away with.

A Bad, Bad World.
From the Sylvester Local.

If the reforners keep right on the job
maybe after a thousand years or so the hui
man race will be made perfect But to do II
in such short time it is going to take the
continued combined efforts OF the few who
are perfect and the various legislative bodies
working night and day without let up More
laws must be passed in order to straghten
out the rising generation. There is too much
time being given by the boys of the present
day to frivolity, such as playing marbles
swimming in the nearby creeks, etc: With
this in mind one of those lady reformers
wrote the editor OF the Dallas News a few
DAYS ago asking him to lend his support to
proposed law to prohibit the playing OF
marbles in the state OF Texas to which ne
replied as follows:
"Sure
Let's pass a bill forbddng boys to be
bows. Let's demand OF the legislature that it
take suitable action to prevent the young
from being young. Let us impress upon our
frivolous judiciary that it should be more
severe on all persons Of the male gender who
enjoy games, who indulge in destructive
amusements, like marble playing. Also the
young of the female persuasion should be
warned from the bench against all manner
Of ankles. To have pair OF ankles which
she believes to be pretty and OF which she
knows no harm should be brought to the at
tentOn of any young woman over 10 years
old, with the admonition not to let 1t occur
again. The more we think about it the more
we are convinced that people were not made
right They have been wrong from the very
beginning Babies should not be born be-
fore they are 70 years old No woman is
really fit to, be mother until she has safely
passed the hundreth birthday. And no tath.
er is fit to train up child in the way it should
go until both have gone past the three
score and ten mark Adam was a failure and
Eve was disappointment, largely because
one was of clay and hadn't been kiln dried

TOO MANY LAWS.

1t would be fine thing to reduce the boil
weevil disaster by blowing under all cotton
stalks before the first frost but legislation to
that end, as has been suggested in Georgia,
is not favored By the Pearson Tribune. That
contemporary says
The freedom of the people has been leg
islated against already until they look upon
liberty as an empty dream. Legislation
has already made criminals of many OF the
country's best citizens, and now it is time
to accomplish things in other ways than
by legislation"
It has been the custom in recent years to
pass a law whenever some one thought a
particular thing should be done, which &C
counts in a large measure for the lack OF re-
spect for all laws. Instead OF enacting more
laws the best thing that could be done would
be to repeal about half of those now in the
statute books and enforce more vigorously the
remainder.
