HUNDREDS GATHER FLOWERS SUNDAY HUNDREDS GATHER FLOWERS SUNDAY Sweet-Scented Honeysuckle, Golden Buttercups, Pink Anemones and Bouyed up by bright sunshine and balmy spring ald Sunday hundreds of people traversed wildwood, meadow and byways, searching for the beauties of nature, being guided in a search by the rare redolence of the wild honeysuckle and other flowers. Late in the day the weary but happy flower hunters cane home burdened with large bunches of flowers in all the bright hues of the rainbow, nature in her own way having betsowed upon the wild products her rarest and richest tintings and pencillings. Some had gorgeous bouquets of buttercups, the green stalks and foliage bedecked with richest golden flowers. Others had Johnny-Jump-Ups in great profusion, their velvety, purple and blue bright in the evening sun, and others still were satisfied with the white and red striped Spring Beauties; many had gathered the pale blue Quaker Ladies, pale pink Anemones, pale blue wild violets, known to all by the potato root, and pink sweet Williams. Sweetest and most treasured of all were the will honey-suckles gathered from wildwood hillside. M. H. REV. JACK HYDE HOME ON VISIT REV. JACK HYDE HOME ON VISIT Popular Maine Minister Returns To Spend a Two Week's Vacation. Rev. Jack Hyde, pastor of Union Parrish, Alfred, Maine is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Hyde, of West King street. Rev. Hyde is on his way home from New York City where he was a delegate to the World's Court Congress, held in Carnegie Hall this week. He will spend a couple weeks here with his parents and will return to New York on the 28th, to fill an appointment to preach in the Mt. Morris Baptist church, on Fifth Avenue, and will later return to his pastorate in Alfred, Me. Rev. Hyde has been a successful pastor of Union Parrish for a number of years. Last winter he received a call to a large Baptist church in Boston, but he had so endeared himself to his people that they would not part with him. Besides being a minister of the gospel, Rev. Hyde has written several splendid books, the latest being "The Trail of the Cross," and of which his many friends in Martinsburg will be glad to get a copy. It is likely that he will preach in the First Baptist church while in the city. BUSY TERM OF U.S. COURT AT WHEELING BUSY TERM OF U.S. COURT AT WHEELING Almost Forty Indictments Returned at Wheeling at Session of Federal Court. About forty indictments have been returned by the grand jury at the federal court term now being held at SHAWKEY WRITES ABOUT THE CLUBS SHAWKEY WRITES ABOUT THE CLUBS Work. In a letter written to the boys agricultural clubs in the state of Wtst Virginia, State Superintendent M. P. Shawkey says: It is a plasure and an honor to have the privilege of giving you a few words of greeting and encouragement. I have since learned that if a farmer desires fruit trees of a certain shape, and fruit of a high quality and large quantity, his surest way to secure these is through a young orchard rather than by pruning and grafting the old orchard that had a poor start and poor training. I am equally convinced that the shortest cut and surest method of making prosperous, happy farmers in West Virginia is found in the proper training of our farm boys and I consider the club work a very important phase of that training. It pleases me to note that the substantial wark has passed the fad stage, and is now upon a substantial basis. In a true sense, the leaders in this movement may be considered educators and statesmen. We need a lot of 4-H men in this state-men with trained hands and heads, courageous kind hearts, and health to back up good work; and we are expecting a large crop of such men from the club boys of the state. In your difficulties I sympathize with you; in your many joys, I rejoice you; in your work, I$ heartily join you, for "I was once a barefoot boy" on the old farm. MOUNTAIN LAKE BIBLE CONFERENCE Will Be Conducted This August 13- 20 By Dr. Gray, of Chicago. The Bible conference at Mountain Lake Park, Maryland, will again this year be conducted by the Mody Bible Institute, of Chicago, under the able leadership of the Rev. James M. Gray, D. D. The dates are August 1-320. Because of the unusual success of the conference last year, the request was unanimous that the institute again have charge of it. The program which will be announced later will offer many of the best knwno Bible teachers and preachers of the country. Wheeling. The indictments are mainly felonies, misdemeanors, violations of the pure food law, white salve act and postoffice law. Indictments were also returned against Jeff Harrison and several others implicated in the train robbery at Central, W. Va. One of the principal cases at the term is now being tried and will probably not b completed until about Wednesday. It is the case of the Rosenburg brothers, former Wheeling men, who are alleged to have violated the federal bankrupt act. Assistant District Attorney J. J. P. O'Brien is in charge of the case. Henry James, colored, who was arrested by Deputy Marshal E. W. Athey several months ago, charged with entering the postoffice at Cunningham, Hardy county, was given a hearing and sentenced to serve three years in the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. CONFERENCE WILL MEET THIS MONTH West Virginia Will Be Represented By Ten Ministers and Ten Laymen. The general conference of the Methodist Protestant church will meet in quadrennial session in Zeno- ville, O., May 19, with delegates from forty conferences in the United States. The church also sustains missions in China and Japan which will be represented. The Methodist Protestant church makes no apologies for its existence, although it is counted among the smaller bodies of Methodists. In doctrine it recognizes Jesus Christ as the only head of the church and the Word of God as the only rule for faith and practice. In policy it is unique among other Methodist churches. It is truly American with its government "of the people, for the people and by the people." General Grant said: "The most Americans church in America." Its principles, which must always be at the foundation of all laws of a free people, began to be agitated immediately upon the organization of the Methodists of America about the time of the Revolutionary war, although the Methodist Protestant church was not organized until 1828, the founders determining to stand in that liberty wherewith Wesley said "God had so strangely made him free." Its lawmaking body and court of final resort is the general conference, which is composed of an equal number of ministers and laymen sitting together in due body with equal rights. This body elects a president and an executive committee which continue in office four years. No change can be made in the constitution without first submitting the question to the annual conference by way of an overture and it must receive a majority vote of two-thirds of all the annual conference and so certified by the president to become a law. The church has no bishops nor presiding elders. Each annual conference elects a president from its own body for a term of one year and a standing district committee to which the business of the conference is referred during the interim of its sessions. All church property, except schools and colleges, is owned and controlled by the local congregations without interference from any source whatever. The West Virginia annual conference will be represented in the general conference at Zanesville by ten ministers and ten laymen elected by the annual conference which held its sessions in Grafton last August. The conference will be in session about two weeks and will elect editors of all the official papers and Sunday school literature. It will elect the various boards of the church and a secretary-treasurer to each. Among the important measures to be considered will be one to group and officer all the annual conferences of the great Southwest for more aggressive work. The educational interests of the church will be at the front and many other important matters will call for consideration. DESTROYS HOME WITH DYNAMITE John C. Hines Explodes 50 Pounds of Dynamite Under House. John C. Hines, a plasterer of Kearneysville, Jefferson county, placed 50 ponds of dynamite in front of his home Monday evening and exploded it. His wife and children discovered his setting it off in time to escape. The explosion wrecked the house and severely injured Hines. Hines had been in this city and returned on an evening train. He is said to have been drinking heavily. He was rested and taken to jail to wait a hearing at Charles Town. Entered in Post Office at Martins ourg, W. Va., as Second Class Matter. J. R. Clifford, Editor and Proprietor. Drawer 869, and Bell 'Phone 60K. Martinsburg, W. Va. SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1916 No congratulations from this end. The A. M. E Conference by a good majority favors Theodore Roosevelt for President Guess the Cleveland Gazette's editor will deck his hat with fighting feathers, sharpen up his old rusty tomabawk and go to work. Editor Trotter made a clean-cut manly fight for the reinstatement of Miss Bosfield and won. Of course he had backing and to both, the good will of this paper is freely given. Agitate, agitate, agitate! is our indispensable duty for it brings results. If all the reports are true, last Tuesday's election in Berkeley Co. was the worst for the use of money and whiskey ever known of in its history. If true, rigid as the recently enacted law is, if enforced to the letter and spirit thereof, our penitentiary would not hold the guilty ones. Ohio set an example and West Virginia should fall in line. Had our troops stayed on our border land and defended our country's rights, there would have been no war in Mexico. Thirteen million of Indians with other millions of mixed breeds, all hardened by tough conditions and constant warring, with little or no fear of death, means more than our militia can comprehend. We wanted and intended last week to say something in favor the Hon. H. C. Smith anent his and Prof. DuBois's wrangle over the use and abuse of the English, but as the latter in the May Crisis numbers the former as race lover and defender of his people, we shall let them make up, hug and kiss. While fooling after Villa, another Mexican raid was made on Americans. Americans were killed, fine horses taken and some prisoners who no doubt have been killed. While doing this deadly work they shouted for Villa and Carranza—both of whom are in union against this country. If you must fight do it by coming toward home for reenforcement, then clean them up in a jiffy. "Gib" Twyman, who shot his brother, "Bud" Twyman to death last Tuesday night, was under the influence of whiskey that had been so freely used on that election day. Neither of them was any moral good to Martinsburg. Both lived lewdly with women and both beat them as if they had been worthless curs. Maud Johnson with whom "Gib" lived is good hearted, kind and industrious and will pay her honest debts. It is a pity she got tangled up with him. It's possible that no living brute in Martinsburg has been beaten, kicked and cuffed in the house and on the street worse than she was by "Gib." Tyman. England should not go too fast in killing Irishmen, both noted and obscure, because some of these days her wholesale executions of a class of men who value liberty as much as they do life, may prove a veritable boomerang to her. The English doubtless claim that their court martial methods are necessary to preserve their integrity, but it appears to us that long terms of imprisonment would have had the same, if not as good an effect as hanging and shooting. Speaker Champ Clark, getting sick and tired of the hot-headed southern congressional crackers, whose sole object has been to injure the colored people, left his seat and bitterly denounced every bit of it. He declared the colored people are settling their own cause and condition nobly, and that he was born and reared up with colored people in Kentucky, and that he had played, worked and ate with colored children and I live among them now. Our good old friend, America's greatest editor Henry Watterson boasts of having done the same, and declares: "I want nothing for my children, I would not give to my colored neighbor's children." God bless such men as Clark and Watterson. U.S. SUPREME COURT REFUSES WRIT IN INSURANCE CASES COUNTRY'S HIGHEST TRIBUNAL WILL NOT HEAR SEWART VEHICLE CASES. WRIT OF CERTIORARI IS DENIED WHICH MEANS VICTORY FOR INSURANCE PEOPLE. A FEW CASES ARE STILL PENDING AND MAY BE QUICKLY DISPOSED OF. Information has been received here that the United States Supreme court has refused a writ or certiorari, applied for by W. W. Downey, receiver for the Stewart Vehicle company, in the insurance cases, involving $51,500. So far as these cases are concerned they are at an end, being settled in favor of the insurance companies. There are still a few cases ponding, involving $16,000, and counsel for the insurance companies have agreed to submit them to Judge Dayton without delay, and should either side desire an appeal it could be quickly taken and submitted to the circuit court of appeals at Richmond next November. However, it is not known what action counsel for the receiver will take. These cases have attracted considerable attention, not only locally, but throughout a wide section of the country. They were heard before Judge Dayton sitting in this city, and a verdict for the receiver was returned. Judge Dayton refused to set aside the jury's finding and an appeal to the circuit court of apepals was taken. That court reversed Judge Dayton, and then application was made to the supreme court, and its refusal to grant the receiver's writ brings them to an end. A part of the cases were heard in the circuit court here here before Judge Robert W. Daily, special judge. The receiver was given what he asked for, and the state supreme court sustained the lower court. The amount involved in those cases has been paid by the insurance companies. The insurance companies were represented by Solicitor-General John W. Davis, Calvin Chesnut, of Baltimore, and Allen B. Noll, and the receiver by Malcolm Jackson, Charleston, and J. O. Henson. Charleston, W. Va. April 18th. 1916. TO THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF WEST VIRGINIA: I most heartily and sincerely join the host of Republicans who have commended the candidacy of Ex-Governor Albert B. White, for the Republican nomination for United states Senator. Without disparaging other candidates for this exalted position, I am free to say that I regard him by education experience, training and long party service, as the logical candidate for United States Senator in the approaching Primary election in our State. He is the candidate of no faction or section; is thoroughly posted on all the legislative problems that come before Congress; is a "dyded in the wool" Republican and yet keeps abreast of the progress of the times, and on no issue can he be considered or regarded as a reactionary, or a drawback to growth and progress. He is honorable, reliable and upright, and if nominated and elected which I earnestly hope he will be, he will prove to be an able conscientious and valuable Senator. If his ambitions are rewarded, all West Virginians, regardless of party, could point to him with pride as one of their representatives in the Senate of the United States, because he will make his presence felt and will zealously guard the interests of his state at all times and upon all occasions as a member of that distinguished legislative body. My deliberate judgment is we should nominate and elect him. Why not do it? Sincerely and truly yours, G.W. Atkinson.

Connie Mack and Pat Moran are the star contributors to The North American's twelfth annual baseball supplement, which appears Sunday May 21. These famous managers, in specially prepared signed articles, discuss the building of championship baseball teams, a subject which they should know, since between them they have produced in the last fifteen seasons more pennant winners than any other city has had. In that interval Philadelphia had six championships in the American league and one in the National as well as three world's titles. Pather Penn as the city of baseball supremacy, is the subject of the attractive first page in colors, the work of Artist Morris Pae coast. James C. Isaminger, the North American's noted baseball humorist presents an entertaining article in which he deals with the foibles and personality of the fan. Joe Cunningham, cartoonist and contributor of the Bubbles Puzzle Department illustrates Mr. Longman. George M. Graham, sports editor of The North American, draws a picture of what happens on the bench during the excitement of big league contests, all the heat of play, the grim humor, the lightning flash of the players' minds all being brought vividly to the mind of the reader. Ross E. Kaufman is there strong with a couple of pages of school and college baseball. There is the usual roster of local clubs, announcements by the minor league and illustrated forecasts of many teams throughout the state. Something new in the way of a event is presented in which $100 in prizes is offered to fans who can identify the greatest number of former Philadelphia and Athletic players, whose pictures are printed without their names. This test permits an interesting trial of memory and of baseball loyalty. Previous editions of The North American's baseball edition have always been sold. MARLINTON.—A powerful bear was trapped at Stony Bottom, this county. It weighed nearly 400 pounds and had a fine hide. The bruin was a sheep-killer and when caught in the trap it carried the trap nearly a mile, and was only stopped when the trap became entangled in a wire fence. It is believed that the bear was immune to the effects of strychnine, because it ate so much bait poisoned with that chemical. The natives say that during the last winter hey set quantities of bait poisoned with strychnine and the bait was always eaten, but never killed the animal which devoured it. Foot marks showed it was always a bear which consumed the bait. WAR ON DEMOCRATS WOMEN THREATEN Unless the Pen Shows Results the Political Sword Will Be Called Into Service. (By United Press.) SALT LAKE CITY, May '1.—Women voters of the country here today considered whether the pen, after all, really is mightier than the sword. Unless the pen shows results shortly they say they are going to declare war with the political sword on the democratic party. This was the decision contemplated by the conference. They threaten to gasize a woman's party, which they claim will hold the balance of power in the November election and fight the Democrats—unless the Democrats "come across." Cruelty to that child of the suffragists, the national amendment enfranchising women, is the charge laid by the delegates today against Democrats who have held the amendment in committee and threaten to keep it there. If the child is not dressed in a new cloak of approval by committeemen and brought before the house for consideration—favorable consideration—this summer the women say there will be new hands in the congressional pork barrel after November. A delegation of women, following the two day meeting here will be sent on to Washington to deliver this message. They will be on a suffrage special with 23 envoys who just wound up a tour of suffrage states, whipping the women into line. They will be met at Washington by crowds of supporters. The biggest demonstration yet at the Capital awaits them, according to press agents. Both parties have promised strong suffrage planks in their platform. This doesn't satisfy the delegates, they want real action. A SNAKE MYSTERY. Although the snake story season is due or three weeks old, West Virginia is to the front with a tale that comes to have a sure cinch on the relationship. The story, which comes from Richwood, W. Va., is to the effect that Leslie Hamilton and H. H. Keener, connected with a lumber camp where Italians are employed, discovered what is declared to be the biggest snake of which there is any record in West Virginia. Having discovered the monster, the next thing in order was to kill it, and tightless all hands were called upon to perform that task. After the record-breaking reptile had been mauled to death it was measured and, according to the Richwood narrative, was found to be twenty-five feet in length, and was classified as a black snake. blacksnake? Did anybody ever hear of such a thing before? According to the Encyclopedia Americana the female blacksnake "is larger than the male, but rarely, if ever, exceeds six feet in length," and according to the New International Encyclopedia the blacksnake "is slender in form and rarely, if ever, exceeds six feet in length." Now, if the maximum length of the blacksnake is but six feet, it follows that the twenty-five foot reptile slain in West Virginia was not that kind of a snake. So there is a snake mystery for the snakeologists to puzzle their brains over. Was it a boa constrictor that found its way up from the forests of South America and wriggled into the wilds of West Virginia without being noticed? Or was it the long missing sea serpent, which, scared by submarines, determined to become a land snake, and reached West Virginia by way of the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi and Ohio rivers? It is a mystery, indeed, for of course, nobody questions the veracity of the men who did the measuring.—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.

"I propose to flight it out on the line if it takes all summer," said Gen. U. S. Grant, May 11, 1864, in telegram to Maj. Gen. Dix, at New York. Those May days in the year 1865 were fraught with matters of great concern to the life of the American nation. The magnificent armies of the Union were once more engaged in a forward movement and the eyes of the loyal people of the country were fixed upon the mighty hosts that were struggling for the perpetuity of the institutions of the fathers. Grant, in supreme command, wi- with the army of the Potomac in Vih- ginia. Sherman, second in command in rank, had begun his "march to the seas," in the mountains of northern Georgia. Gen. Sheridan in the val- ley, Gen. Banks, in Louisiana, an- gen. Potter, on the James river, wi- all setting their faces to the foe an- the crucial campaign of the war was in active operation. The army of the Potomac crossed the Rapidan in Vih- ginia on the morning of Wednesday day 4, and fighting was at once con- menced between the advance lines of the blooming armies. Cuts Loose From Capital. -Gen. Grant had purposely cut his self loose from all communication with Washington, and for six day one of the most sanguinary, stubbornly contested, and mighty battles that was ever fought upon American soil waged incessantly in the woods an underbrush of that Virginia wildness. The entire North was waiting, with hatel breath, for the result. The silent, patient, baggard man at Washington, the immortal Lincoln, wasanging over the fateful clicking of the untortuous telegraph. six days of wholesale human retaliary and not one authoritative word from Grant. Stragglers from the front were pouring into Washington with their ghastly details of the costly deeds out on the Virginia hills. An occasional correspondent, credited and weary, rushed into the previous city, hurried to news headquarters and sent his story to his paper at New York, at Boston, or some eastern point. That not a word from Grant. All kinds of reports, true and otherwise, were in circulation, and they were readily received by the excited people. Flint Word From Grant. At 11:30, on the night of May 14, the war department received Grant's dispatch from the seat of war from the army had crossed the Rapidan. Secretary Stanton lost no time "Dispatches from Grant dated deceit this morning have just reach this department. He says: We have now ended the sixth day of very heavy fighting. The result to this time, is much in our favor. Our su pom su 'Aauaq uooq aauaq ssoo those of the enemy. I think the loss of the enemy must be greater.

REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO HUSBAND DESPA After Four Years of Discouraging Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave Up in Despair. Husband Came to Rescue. Catron, Ky.—In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, I could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, I would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treatment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. the stores will close from 3 to 3 o'clock Friday afternoon in order to let the clerks witness the opening game here with Frederick. In former years the City band has always furnished the music but this will be impossible this year, as the band is out of existence. It is not thought that there will be a band. ROOF FALLS IN; ONE KILLED HARRISONBURG. Va.—Working on the roof of Pleasant View Lutheran church, Augusta county, yesterday, four men dropped 20 feet and were buried in the debris, when a portion of the roof caved in. Lincoln Houff, 45 years old, was killed. Frank Berry, 35 years old, suffered a broken arm and hip; Thomas McClune had an arm broken, and his brother, Newton McClune, an ankle. Houff leaves a widow and a large family of children. I had gotten so weak I could not stand, and I gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I commenced taking it. From the very first dose, I could tell it was helping me. I can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing all my work." If you are all run down from womanly troubles, don't give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped more than a million women, in its 50 years of continuous success, and should surely help you, too. Your druggist has sold Cardui for years. He knows what it will do. Ask him. He will recommend it. Begin taking Cardui today. Write to: Chattanooga Medicine Co., Ladies' Advisory Dept., Chattanooga, Tenn., for Special Inquiries on your case and 61-64 page book.

BADGER 102 Sophton Street, Boston President—J. H. Fulk. Secretary—J. W. Stewart. Treasurer—Edgar Henshaw. County Agent—W. M. Bewick. One important clause in the plan of work mapped out for the county agent calls for the erection of 25 new silos this season. Several farmers have expressed their intention of erecting one at ready, others are considering it. Call on the county agent for bill of material necessary for the erection of a wood hoop silo, the kind that gives good results at so little cost. This does not mean that patent silos are not to be recommended. We are very glad to see the tile, concrete and stave silos go up. The principle thing it "get a silo." But for the man in limited circumstances who feels that the patent silo is too expensive, the "homemade silo," so popular over West Virginia, is the solution of the problem. Ask the agent about it. W. L. Lawson, New Haven, W. Va. has been feeding ensilage for the first time this winter. Mr. Lawson says that no farmer will ever invest money to a better advantage than in a silo. G. W. Gorrell, of Pleasants, county, W. Va., has the only silo in his section and the only home-made silo in the county, which was built last August. He said it had more than paled for itself this winter and he would not be without it for many times the cost of it. Mr. Alkire, of Cairo, Ritchie, county makes the statement that he has carried his stock through the winter on half the expense he was put to prior to the use of a silo. Other Silo Facts. 1914—23 Counties having County agents—302 silo put up. 1915—28 counties having county agents—847 silos put up. At the end of 1914 just one county had over 100 silos. At the end or 1915 seven counties had over 100 silos. Highest number in one county—229 silos. At the regular meeting of the Vanclevesville club tonight, final arrangements will be made for the big picnic and annual meeting of the Farm Bureau to be held at the I. D. VanMetre farm, in June.

Watch this column for future announcements. At the Bunker Hill meeting tomorrow night, May, 1 further discussion of the road question will occupy the large part of the evening. All taxpayers and others who use the roads must feel vitally interested. All are welcome. Cooperative buying of seeds, twine and other necessities will be considered also. A general invitation is extended to all to send news notes for this column. Give same to the publicity committeeman in your Club or send direct to the county agent. FARMERS MEET AT BUNKER HILL Thursday Night To TDiscuss Good Roads And Everybody Is Invited. A meeting of the Farmer's Club of Bunker Hill, will be held in the school house Thursday night at 8 o'clock. The general topic to be discussed will be good roads. There seems to be a great deal or sentiment in favor of increased levy in the district for road improvement, and it is thought the meeting will cause these interested to take definite action in the matter; at least it is hoped such will be the case. The public is cordially invited to attend the meeting SCHOOL GARDEN WORK IN EUROPE Johann Hepp Tells How the European People Have Encouraged School Gardening. The following is an extract from an article by Johann Hepp in the October (1915) number of Monatshefte fur den naturwiss enschaflicher Unterricht, under the tilte "School Gardens in Zurich." The original text brings out in a forceful way the value of school gardens and how they have served the people of Zurich. The people of Europe have long encouraged school gardening, and throughout Germany and other countries special attention has recently been given to the work. The writer says: "How fortunate is the country child who can take direct part in the full swing of work and bustle of the farm life. House and yard gardens and vineyards, fields and forests, offer numberless opportunities for healthy, useful, interesting and diversified occupations in which a child can be employed. Through these occupations the child becomes closely acquainted with culture in all its profuseness of farms and products. He will learn to organize his efforts in unison with the powerful throb of the community life. He will acquire the priceless treasure of good habits and moral power, and thus, by the simplest and most natural process, will develop the ability and inclination to work. "The city child has but fragmentary conception of nature's life. The city offers no visual example or stimulation for work, because actual work is done in the interiors of shops and business establishments. The family in the city is not a productive community any more; it has been transformed into a consuming unit. The city children become familiar with ready-made products without realizing by what processes and of what materials they were made. It remains obscure to them how much time and toil it costs to make a living, and how much work is required to produce articles of food and other necessities of life. "In educational circles this deficiency of city conditions in respect to education in work has been recognized long ago. As a remedial measure, manuel training was introduced into city schools. Through it the children exercise the eye and hand, learn to handle tools and raw materials—all by actual work. But no manuel training possesses so much educational value as garden work. Gardening is superior to pasteboard, wood, and iron work conducted within the narrow limitations of school shops because it is done outdoors, in pure air and sunlight, and brings the children into contact with nature. In Zurich, there is an association whose exclusive object is to establish and conduct school gardens on city grounds and to develop through this means a healthy, industrious, and morally sound race. Every pupil is given a plot of land for whose planting and cultivation he alone is responsible. This little garden affords an admirable field of work and experimentation where the child learns through his own labor and experience his own failures and successes. There he can dig, sow and plant, cultivate and harvest; there he observes how the plants sprout, grow, bloom, and ripen; how they protect themselves from animals and the inclementy of weather, and in what high degree their thriving is dependent upon the inexorable powers of nature, involving at the same time the welfare of the gardener and the farmer, and ultimately, of all mankind. "The man who can spare a little time after his tiresome professional daily work to attend to his garden and flower beds, is fortunate indeed. This gives him a healthy exercise and an enjoyable pastime. In large cities, where every minute of time and every power of efficiency is utilized for business purposes, the necessity of diversion and free occupations become imperative. The work performed for profit or for living has no attractions. The more monotonous becomes the work of the individual owing to the increasing division of manufacturing processes into ever simpler manipulations the more important and full of meaning will free occupation become. Leisure time should be used with the view of giving the senses and the soul a proper nourishment that will enable the man to recover his inner balance lost during the hours of toil. When this opportunity is shut off, the powers of soul waste away for want of action; the craving for higher things in life disappears, and in its stead come bitterness, hatred, and jealousy. What matters all the progress in technics and science if it gives a man no happiness? Among the remedies for these evils of our modern industrial life the joys of garden occupations and flower planting are among the most important. The garden-city movement should therefore be encouraged. It fills important demands for the protection of people's health, and at the same time promotes the moral hygiene." THE UNITED STATES WHEAT CROP CUT Government Experts Estimate the Yield at 499,280,000 Almost half a billion bushels is the winter wheat harvest forecast for this year by the Department of Agriculture in its May report. That is 155,000,000 bushels less than harvested last year when a world's record crop was gathered in the United States, but the crop this year is growing on a much smaller acreage and the severe winter caused heavy abodiment of the acreage planted last year in all, 4,236,000 acres were abandoned leaving for harvest 33,030,000 acres which is 7,433,000 acres less than harvested last year. The yield from the growing crop is estimated at 499,280,000 bushels. It its report the department says: "Present conditions of growth are poorest in the Central group of states, where winter killing was most severe, the conditions ranging for 23 per cent below the 10-year average condition at this season in Illinois down to 10 per cent below in Iowa. "The Atlantic Coast crop is generally fair to good. The increase over the condition gfigure of 78.3 per cent last month is due partly to the elimination of the abandoned acreage from consideration in determining the present condition. "The Hessian fly, reported as active in many sections last fall, is not seemingly so much in evidence, although reported from scattered localities, particularly in Central Kansas. Mention is made of the presence of the green bug in North Central Oklahoma, but the parasites of the insect are present also and it is hoped will limit the damage it might otherwise do." CONTRACTOR KEYTON IS ALLOWED LIEN Judge Woods in Settling Case of Lee M. Bender vs. W. E. Crawford Relative to Casino. In circuit court Tuesday morning in the cause of Lee M.
