On November 30th and December lst
at Topeka occurs the first annual
meeting of the Kansss Association of
Charities and Corrections, The pro-
gram consists of three sessions, one
Friday night and two on Saturday.
This society is working for purely
charitable purposes without pay. Its
object is to discuss the best and most
humane methods of dealing with the
States unfortunate, the employment I Of
such means as will accomplish most
for the subject and for the public.
F or the matter of handling the Grim
inal and according penalties is treated
tina same as that Of irresponsibles. OF
course the question of reforming the
laws of the State that deal with these
matters when they are weak or per-
verse is one of the subjects which will
receive attention. Removing the
management of the charitable and
penal institutions entirely from the
domination ofparty politics is one OF
the objects Of the association. This is
an organization in which all public
spirited and well informed citizens
should take an active interest, and give
it the encouragement of their presence
If possible.

The verdict of that body is already
drawn and against me by vote Of foul

Socialist Demonstration.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE funeral of the Rus
sian Nihilist, Peter Lavrosi, today was the
occasion of big Socialist demonstration.
Delegates representing revolutionary as
sociations in all parts of Europe attended
and marched, in long, tumultuous pro-
cesslon, from the residence to the ceme'
terry.
The advance of tine demonstration was
marked by unceasing aud increasing shouts
of "Vive la Commune" and "Vive Pan

MOLE and other revolutionary songs. TIE

Radical Socialists, one of the Deputies for

London, Feb. 13.-A statement in the
House of Lords yesterday by the Marquis

portant mission, it is not believed that he
would have taken active charge. AS the
commander-in-chief he would, of course,
have been nominally in charge under any
circumstances.
This development, with others, is taken
to mean that Lord Roberts will invade the
Orange Free State from the Modder or its
immediate vicinity. His move may be

TO REPRESENT AMERICA.
Eiqhteen Commissioners to the Paris Ex
position-Some Yet to be Selected.

Washington, Feb. 12.-COngress having
provided for eighteen commissioners to
the Paris exposition, instead of twelve as
originally provided, the President is ex-
pected to announce the appointments in
week or ten days There was a great de-
mand for these places, which pay well and
entail no hard work. Many of the selec-
tions have already been made. Another
new selection is that Of Mr. Saunders,
editor of live stock journal in Chicago.
His selection was urged by Western men.
One of the Commissioners will be Mrs.
Potter Palmer She will be the only lady
representative among the eighteen, but
there will be a special representative in
the person of Mrs. Daniel Manning, widow
of the late Secretary Manning, OF the
treasury. Her appointment was provided
by act of Congress few days ago. Mrs.
Manning will also represent the Daughters
of the American Revolution, of which
organization she is amember.

Profit in Raising Fowls.

If the farmers and other householdels
of Tazewell county have not already found
out that there is much profit in raising
poultry it is to be hoped they will soon
awaken to the fact. There is nothing that
pays so well in proportion to the outlay
and the cost of production. There has
been growing demand for number OF
years in the eastern markets for all kinds
of fowls and for eggs, and there rarely
time that excellent prices cannot 3e OBJ
tanned for chickens AMI eggs. Since last
winter it has been almost impossible to
get fowls to supply the demand in oul
town, and at times there has been scare
ity of eggs that was never before known
This has been occasioned in large meas
ure by the shipments of most of the fowli
and eggs from the county to the eastern
markets. If the farmers had been sup
piled with them during the present winter
they could have sold tons of fowls anC
thousands of dozens of eggs here at home
for consumption, and there has been nc

The prices have ruled high all the time'
BY increasing the production Of fowl
and eggs the amount of money in th'
county can be greatly increased. Ever!
housewife should see what she can accom-
plish in that line the present year. Their
is no reason why turkeys, chickens, duck
and eggs should not be made to bring a
much money into the county as
brought here by the sale of export cattle
Very few persons in the county are fxe'
for handling export cattle, but every house
holder can with industry produce a sur
plus of fowls and eggs.

Good Advice TO Farmers.
PARSLEY, VA, |
Feb. s, 1909. {
Mr.. VIM. G.. Pendleton,
TaZewell. Va.

Mr.. VIM. G. Pendleton,
Tazewell, Va.
Dear Sir:-Upon my return home from
a months absence talking in the farmers
institutes of New York, l find your issue Of
January 25th, in which is an exhortation
to your readers to plant fruits. This ls
sensible advice. If farmers would get 1t
into their heads that there is more profit
in selling water than anything else, and
make everything point in that direction,
they would have learned one of the most
important lessons in farm economy. The
milkman must be very careful not to water
his milk more than the law allows, but the
fruit grower may water his products as
much as he likes and no one is displeased
The more water he can crowd into the
skins of his apples, pears, peachers, grapes,
berries, etc., the better his customers like
them.
The man who sells wheat, corn, hay,
fodder or any dry substance from his farm
is robbing it of its fertility; but the man
who sells fruits, dairy products, eggs and
fat stock, is selling large proportions OF
water, and is retaining the fertility on his
land, if he cares for it properly.
Let me make quotation "When a
farmer sells 500 worth of hay he sends
away from his farm over 5000 worth Of
fertilizer; when he cells $500 worth of
wheat Ire disposes of $l25 worth of fertil-
izer. But when he sells $500 worth OF
dairy products be parts with less than $50
worth of fertilizer; and when he sells $500
worth of fruits he loses far less than by
either of the others, because fruits are
composed largely of water" This shows
that the highest priced products rob the
farm least and is convincing argument i'll
favor of better farming than we generally
see.
The true idea should be, that we en-.
deavor to pack our water in attractive
packages; those that are beautifully color.
ed, as large as We can get them, and flavor
el with all the delicate perfume that fruits
can have. The fruit grower sells his water
for more, pound for pound, than the grair
farmer does his corn, wheat and oats, anC
it does not cost him half as much. Ant
when we do sell The products of our graiI
and hay fields let it be in such shape al
may be driven off on four legs, except i
be in dairy products or eggs. But of al
we sell, good fruits are the most profitable
Let us have more of them. Let the "F
F. VS." be fruits, flowers and vegetables
instead of hereditary nonsense.
Yours for the good of humanity,

THE NORTHERN ISLANDS.
American Flag Raised-Del Pillar Report
ed Dead

Manila, February 12.-It is reported
that the United States gunboat Princeton
visited the Tatanes and Calagan Islands,
which were omitted from the Paris treaty
of peace, being north of twenty degrees OF
latitude, raised American flags and ap
pointed native governors. 1t is added that
the Princeton found th. Japanese flag at
Bayat Island and refrained from landing
there, pending orders.
Reports from native sources, which are
not confirmed, say General Pllo Del Pillar,
the insurgent commander, died Of fever
recently.
The Princeton occupied the Northern
Islands under government orders. The
report that the japanese flag was found
flying is not confirmed, but there are
rumors that Japan intended to take the
Islands. The natives willingly substituted
the American for the insurgent officials
and took the oath of allegiance.
