season our beautiful county offers,
will be well repaid if taking advan-
tage Of one of these perfect autumn
days they pay visit to "Avon
Bend, the two hundred and seventy
FIVE acre orchard Of Logan B. Shut,
where the apple picking season is
now in full blast and thousands Of
barrels Of the choicest varieties Of
the lucious fruit are being packed
for shipment to domestic markets
and for export. Lying in a bend Of
the Shenandoah River, this fine prop
erty is ideally situated from both the
scenic and the utilitarian stand
point. Plentifully watered by never
failing streams every section shows
the result Of perfect drainage, care
full cultivation, pruning and spraying,
the trees being loaded with fruit Of
unusually fine quality. The equip
ment is Of the most modern type and
only those methods Of raising and
handling the crop which have been
endorsed by the best horticultural
authorities have been used to bring
this great fruit farm to its present
state of high production. A busy
scene is witnessed at the large mod
ern packing house as the fruit is
brought in from the pickers to be
graded by electrically driven machin-
cry. Every barrel bears the stamp
"U. S. Standard and U Inspected.
Inspectors from the Department of
Agriculture oversee the work and
certify to the contents of each pack

men, and women who are amazingly
expert in their work and put the
packers on their mettle to keep up

miles from Charles Town and four

shipping facilities by both the Balti-
moe and Ohio and Norfolk and West

OUR APPLES

West Virginia's apple crop, espe-
cially in the counties of Berkeley,
Morgan and Jefferson, will be a
bumper one this year. According to
predictions this section alone will
ship more than 100000 barrels And
good prices will be obtained for the
fruit.
According to the United States de-
partment of commerce, the Ameri-
can people eat more apples than all
the rest Of the world combined. They
consume, on an average, three every
week for each man, woman and child
In the nation. This is less than one
half of the figure indicated by the
proverbial "apple a day to keep the
doctors away"
Apple season in West Virginia
brings the thought that there should
be a greater effort to popularize the
fruit Visitos to the northwestern
part of the United States-Montana
Oregon, Washington and other states
have been impressed with the en-
thusiasm of fruit growers over their
apples, and have grown bit tied
over the various schemes of promo
ton for Wenatehee apples. 1t is
Wenatchee apples to eat, Wenatchee
apples for pies, Wenatchee apples
for cider. Everywhere you turn it
Is Wenatchee apples.
But little more promotion for
West Virginia apples would do a
world Of good-for there are no bet
ter apples in the land than are grown
in the hillside orchards of the Noun
tain State.-Morgantown Post.

He came into the office Monday

his married daughters second child's
birthday party in a distant town We
agreed to print it for him.
Then ne asked US if we had some
cd papers he could use under a car
pet. We gave him an armload.
He wished to know next if We had
some old scraps of cardboard that his
daughter could use in her school
work and we gave him some.
And then he asked for a copy of
yesterdays paper We gave him
that.
And then he asked what we would
charge him for 500 printed letter

OUR SCHOOLS.

All the schools in the county have
resumed work for the nine months
term with an average attendance
and in number of schools with an
increased enrolment. No greater
progress has been made along any
line in the county in recent years
than in our schools. Our people
fully realize what an important as
set is our schools. and Jefferson
County has never done anything
that means more to the general well
fare of the community than what
she is doing for the education Of her
sons and daughters.
Blessed with an unusually capable
Principal and we'll equipped faculty,
few communities are as fortunate as
ours in the enjoyment of the educa-
tional advantages such as teacher
and personnel ensures.
Business and all tina tgoes with it
is all right, strictly so, but il would
of necessity fall far short of being
worth what it might be if it absorb
ed our attention to the neglect Of
our schools. Fortunately for us it
has not. Let us hope that the pres
ent year will be the best we have
ever had and we believe it will be
for existing conditions should be a
great incentive to good. honest work
on the part of those in charge Of the
schools as well as on the part Of the
pupils.
It is hoped that our Boards of
Educations will be as solicitous of
the physical care of the children by
keeping the school equipment up to
modern standards as is being done
In other neighboring Valley coun-
ties.

RECORD CROWD PAYS HOMAGE
To GENERAL IFF-

The recumbent statue of General
Robert h. Lee, in the chapel of
Washington and Lee University, at
Lexington, Va, daily is the mecca
for persons from practically all parts
of the world as, attracted by the ro-
nance and glamorous traditions as
ISOLATED with his name, they come
to the shrine to give tribute to his
memory.
From the north and west the rev.
erence with which they gaze upon
the remarkable likeness is shown
just as surely as it is demonstrated
by Southerners.
During the month of August alone,
examination of the chapel records
shows, twenty-four States were rep
resented on the last day alone and
during the month fifty-one persons
came from Austria, Spain. Guate-
mala, India, China, Japan and Eng
land,
The total number who viewed his
tomb in August this year was $3.50,
1912 more than for the correspond
ing month last year. In the previous
month this year $500 persons regis
tered. The total number of visitors
to the Lee mausoleum on the campus
of Washington and Lee this year ex-
ceeds that of last year by 1887.
From Texas there recently came
two boys, Stalays and Hamer, of Co.
lumbus, Texas, They had six dol
lars apiece to make the trip this
Summer, but they left home with the
avowed determination to visit the
tomb of General Lee and their names
on the registers attest to the fact
that their visit was carried out.
This Summer touching incident
was witnessed which recalled rem
iniscences of the sanguinary conflict
of the War Between the States Giles
B. Cook, a major on the staff of Gen
eral Lee and an aide, visited the
tomb and asked to see "Marse Rob-
ert and make prayer over his
grave"
Many became deeply affected. The
incident was charged with pathos.
The group present knelt in deep
emotion to pray at the base of the
marble figure, depicting General
Lee, in inimatable likeness, asleep
on the battle field. Mrs. A S Ed
wards, U. D. C Custodian, witnessed
the incident and graphically describ-
ed it afterwards.
MANY distinguished persons visited
the mausoleum this Summer. Among
them were Mary GUSTS Lee DeButts,
granddaughter of General Lee: Gen
eral j. I. Harzord, u S Army: Mrs
William Ellis, Shawsville, Va, daugh-
ter of President John Tyler; Ex-Gov.
ernor Lee Trinkle, who placed a
wreath at the tomb, and Bishop and
Mrs. LaMothe of Hawaii.

PROTECTING INDUSTRIES PRO
TECTs WORKERS

Who would suffer most from tariff
reduction which would make it i'm
possible for certain American indus
tries such as beet sugar, fruit, poul-
try and other farm products to meet
foreign competition? Naturally the
laboring man, for he is the one who
enjoys the first and greatest direct
benefit from the high wages and
short hours which have resulted
from the growth of American indus
tries.
What good would it do an individ-
ual to save a possible S1.75 a year
on sugar which was tariff free, if our
domestic sugar industry was de-
stroyed, and the same with other
business which might be DESTROYED
without tariff protection.
Let our tariff schedule be reason
able, and not destructive to either
domestic or foreign business.
