The Real Johnny Appleseed

Let's get acquainted with the real
Johnny Appleseed-after nearly $50
years. He was not legendary figure
nor an Indian. Nor was he touched" !"
but he was Of good family, smart,
and despite his uncouth appearance,
mighty good fellow. 1t would be
well if more of us were like him.
He was John Chapman, born at
| Springfield, Mass, in ITS. He came
to Ohio in 1881 and couple of
years later his father, Nathaniel,
moved the large Chapman family to
Marietta. Later the old man moved
to Duck creek, Noble County, where
oil first was discovered, and died
there. Johnny Chapman's relatives,
in later generations, are scattered all
over Ohio and Indiana.
| Soon after the family moved to
Ohio Johnny went to Pittsburgh and
started a nursery business. Then in
1906 he planted 16 bushels of seeds
on an old farm on the Walhonding
river and planted nurseries in Lick
ing and Richland counties. He had
other nurseries farther west.
Furnishes Trees to Settlers
All the orchards in the early white
settlements of Ohio came from John
ny Chapman's planting. The settlers
obtained their trees from one or an
other of his nurseries.
Johnny Appleseed became famous
throughout Ohio as early as 1911.
AT times he carried bag or two of
seeds on an old horse, but oftener on
his back, going from place to place
in the wild frontier, clearing little
space and planting seeds in it.
Eventually he had nurseries all
through Ohio, Pennsylvania and In
diana.
Johnny thought it wrong to spend
money on adornment and so long as
his clothing was comfortable and
suitable to the weather, appearance
meant nothing to him. He wore a
pasteboard hat which he made him
self, and it had a broad side which
he turned to the sun. His pants were
old, scant, tattered and too short,
held up by deerskin strings which he
used for suspenders.
! Often Barefoot
He wore no coat excepting in
winter and his knobby, horny feet
usually were bare. Sometimes he
wore old shoes, but if he had none
and the thorny ground hurt his feet,
/ he put on sandals-homemade soles
| fastened on with thongs. His shirt
bosom always was pulled out loose
ly-it was in it he carried his books.
! If he was going far he carried his

Restricting Of Loads
On 4-WheeI Trucks
In District Studied

Regulations restricting the loads
which four-wheel trucks can carry
in the District will be studied dur
ing the next six weeks and then
amendments to the traffic rules will
be suggested to the Department of
Vehicles and Traffic.
This was decided at a meeting yes
terday in the Municipal Center,
which was presided over by George
E. Keneipp, director of vehicles and
traffic. The meeting was attended
by traff1c and police ofdcials and
men engaged in the trucking busi-
ness in Washinkton. After several
hours of discussion it was decided
that the truckers and traffic officials
should make a thorough study and
report back at meeting to be held
March IL with suggestions for
changes.
Traffic Director Keneipp told the
meeting he was primarily concerned
with the safety aspects Of overloaded
trucks-whether the brakes would
hold and whether overlooking would
interfere with steering. The meet
ing was interested only in four
wheel trucks, he said, because most
of the larger trucks with cabs are
equipped with air brakes and are
safe.
Streets Are Uttered.
He also pointed out that the
streets are Uttered by overloaded
trucks, especially those carrying
sand, ashes, dirt and trash.
Under present traffic regulations
any truck can carry load not ex-
ceeding $4,000 pounds. That, it was
contended, is a regulation to pre-
serve the streets, bridges and pave
ments and has no relation to traffic
safety. A small truck may be over
loaded even though not carrying
this weight, the director pointed out.
Inspector Arthur E. Miller of the
Police Traffic Bureau said a recent
survey by his bureau had disclosed
2 and az ton trucks loaded with 4
to tons. While under the regu-
lations they were not overweight
they were overloaded.
Truckers Raise Protest.
The truckers attending the meet
ing protested that II they kept
strictly to the manufacturers Ca
pacity rating they would have to
buy additional trucks and hire more
drivers. They pointed out that
manufacturers Of heavy materials
recently have been making parts OF
boilers and other products in larger
sections that cannot be carried un-
less big loads on trucks are per-
mitted. It was decided that some
of the truckers would visit other
cities and report back what Is being
done to prevent overlooking.
Those attending the meeting in
cluded H. 8. Cole, administrative
assistant to Mr.. Keneipp; John Nit,
ton, traffic engineer Of the Depart
ment Of Vehicles and Traffic; WAL
lace L. Braun, deputy director OF
vehicles and trafac: H. F. Clemmer
