How the MOffett Bell Punch Wipes Out
Virginia's State Debt.

The Moffett register has been in oper-
alton in Lexington for nearly four
months. The amount of tax for that
time is $3.50.
This is monthly average of 1926,
or an average of $25 for each register,
the whole number of registers being
nine.
The cost of the liquor thus sold and
taxed amounts to 1858 a year. This
is about per cent. on all taxable prop
erty, real and personal, of the whole
county. 1t is more than double the
whole county levy Exclusive of railroad
tax for roads, schools, and carrying
on the county government. Ii is about
80 per cent. on the taxable property of
the Lexington District.
Now here is scope enough for read
justment. If we can stop this drain
upon our wealth, all other burdens will
be but drop in the bucket. If the
people of the State of Virginia drink
whisky as we do, the Moffett register
will bring into the Treasury 81 500, 900;
or if the money paid for the whisky
were applied to the debt, we would
wipe it out-consols, coupons, peelers
and all-in three years.-Lerington Ga

When beeches brighten early May,
And young grass shines along her way;
When April willows meet the breeze
Like softest dawn among the trees;
When smell of Spring fills all the air,
And meadows bloom, and blue-birds pair;
When love first bares her sunny head
Over the brook and lily-bed;
Nothing of sound or sight to grieve
From choiring morn to quiet eve
My heart will not, for all its ease,
Forget the days to follow these.
This loveliness shall be betrayed,
This happlest of music played
From field to field, by stream and Dough,
Shall silent be as tuneful now;
The silver launch of thistles sail
Adown the solitary vale:
That blue solicitude of sky
Bent over beauty doomed to die,
With mighty mist shall witness here
The yielded glory of the year.:

The matter was clear to me now at last
but who on earth could have expected
such denouement, or that she should
have been led to the only spot where she
could have gained any tidings of her
brother?
And yet so it was, and this discovery
was the result of s'her holiday" that II eat
which | had designed " all for her." OF
course, we had an addition to our fami-
ly: OF course, the contract for her holi-
day would not have been completed if
had interposed any views of mine, and
had prevented her carrying off in the end
the young semi-Italian scaramouch to
add to our own collection.
However, am bound to say I believe
she might not have pressed this point
had 1t not been for the fatal effect of the
accident. which after all terminated in
Lucias death, and consequently for the
child having thus, as it were, fallen to
our charge as his natural guardians. 1t

OF our time at Locarno involving numcr-

When We ID I'M Oralize the Stoma CHI

By excuses or imprudence N eating, we can
not hope to escape the consequences for any
great length of time. The most robust diges
ton mus succomb to abuses of that import
ant function. But supposing that we have
been foolish enough to eufeeble the stomach
is the damage irreparable? By no means.
The dyspeptic has only to do two things to
insure his ultimate recovery. First, he should
adopt an easily digestible diet. Second, he
should use with regularity and persistence
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, the leading
gastric invigorant of the age. The multiform
symptoms of dyspepsia, and the almost inva-
riably attendant disorders, billiousness and
constipation, will assuredly cease to persecute
the sufferer if the above advice is tended to.
Who that has suffered the torments that
chronic digestion jnficts will neglect to
take advantage Of remedy which, if the
most positive evidence of the medical pro-
fcssion and the public is to be received with
due credence, is an absolute specific for the
complaint?

Corn Fodder.

It is difficult matter to cure corn fod-
der properly 80 that it will store fog winter
use. The stalks retain their water with
much pertinacity, and when the material is
piled, and the circulation of air prevented
fermentation is apt TO set in, and mould U.S.
ually appears. The fodder becomes moui-
dy.
The best method in our experience is to
cut the corn and stack it, and to leave it
thus in the field until dry enough to lay in
thin layers on top of the hay in the barn,
or it may be stacked by leaving an opening
in the centre Of the stack, and when of sufi-
cient hight may be covered by thatching,
or by rude shelter of boards.
If but slightly mouldy, the COWS relish it
and it does not seem to do them any harm.
1t is not well, however to calculate on hav-
ing this mould, because if we attempt to
have some, we will obtain too much. The
best we can do, we do get some and as long
as we cannot help ourselves, we are willing
to be comforted by the thought that the lit
tie we have is rather benfcial than other
wise, One thing is qnite certain, mould is
better than fermentation. Hence, when
storing, keep the fodder in thin layers, so
the air may have all the access that our
space for storage will admit of.
Corn fodder is valuable feed, and if
used in connection with nitrogenous food,
as cotton seed meal, gives results which ad-
nit of very favorable comparison with those
produced from good hay, using the prices
of each as basis of comparison. We con-
slider corn fodder, of the kind and curing
that we advocate, worth sixty per cent as
much as hay, weight for weight. As we
fed our COWS exclusively on corn fodder
and Hungatian grass last winter, that is
for fodder ration, we think our opinion is
justified by xperence.-Scientife american.

A Thriving Institution.

From the ohio Statesman, Dec 90.
About the first of June last, we recorded
the incorporation ofa new institution, The
State Mutual Aid Association, an insur-
ance association based on the mutual assess
ment plan.
Since that date we have almost.lost sight
ofthis enterprise, so quietly and smoothly
has it done its work. 4 few days ago we
visited the Home Office and found the Pres
ident, Hon. WM. BELL, JR., the Secretary,
J. II. SAMPSON, and the assistant, busy
attending to the duties oi,their offices, and
almost hidden under the immense pile of
applications before them. and issuing cir
tifcates, answering letters, sending out sup.
plies, ect. Upon inqniry we found already
upon their books nearly 600 members, from
every part of Ohio. Taking into consider
alton the fact that this Association has been
actively at work only six months, and the
fact that during much of Jnly and August,
business of all kinds was suspended for har-
vest and the great strike, the growth of this
Association has been remarkable. The
causes which have led to such encouraging
results are the peculiarly clear, equitable
and popular plan of giving both life and
endowment insurance at cost, and allowing
the members to control their own money
and use it until actually needed to pay
losses. A member of this Association does
not have to pay out large amounts OF
money to be squandered by extrava.
gance, nor do they have to pay their insur.
ance during their whole lives to secure the
benefit. Those who remain faithful to the
Association from Is to 25 years receive
themselves, all the benefits of their insur.
ance. Some ofthe features 80 popular with
this Association, are:
1st. Endowment Insurance on the Mu.
tual Assessment plan.
%. Uniform membership fee only SIC
for any age or amount taken.
Sd. No annual dues, or other extra char
ges, whatever.
4th. Return of all assessments paid in ur
to date of claim pro rata, to the number O.
irtifcates in force at that date.
5th. No division into classes.
9th Care in selection of risks, and stric
economy in its management
7th. Charging the e,members for insur
anee according to what they get.
The fact that they have as yet not had
loss, and are rapidly approaching larg'
membership, shows that the plan is not al
experiment, and that good insurance cal
be had at home, where all the officers ar
known, and all the money kept within oul
own State.
The officers are men of integrity and en-
ergy, and we have this to say of our Owl
confidence in them and their plan, that W
have taken membership in the associa
ton, and would heartily recommend ou
friends to do likewise.
Their Home Office is in Rooms and
Capital Block, near the New York Store.
P. S. Since the above was publised, th
membership has reached nearly 900. an
the Association has had one death.
