Every Farmer His Own Gamer.

A number of farmers throughout
this section are considering the possi-
bility of establishing small canneries
on their farms for the preparation OF
fruit in large quantities for the city
markets. 1t is believed that for the
sum of $10O the fruit grower can equip
cannery, the capacity of which will
be from 1000 to 5000 three-pound cans
day, and that not more than fifteen
people, children included, could do the
work That the canned fruit of the
farmers wife, which is prepared i'm
mediately after it is plucked from the
trees, far exceeds the fruit of the cs1-
neries, where it is injured by bruising
and its good taste destroyed, will meet
ready sale in the markets is a foregone
conclusion.

 The object of this policy is to give the investor ample time for investiga- tion and time in which to reconsider his investment, and further to pro tect bis stock, as we'll as the stock Of the Company, agains depreciation at the hands of mercenary speculatops.
 If,after studying the prospectus,you wish to invest, you may remit direct to the Company, with the mutual understanding that your money will be returned, on demand, in accord auce with the company's pledge Of redemption.

 According to this arrangement you may write the Company ordering the number Of shares you want and in- stead of sending the money to the Company send it to said Bank.

Worried Democrats

The Virginia Democrats are in a sor-
ry plight. The expansionists, led by
Senator Daniels, clamor for recognition.
and so the platform makers adroitly
avoided the words expansion and
imperialism in the platform, and
simply said, eve are for the republic as
against the empire" OF course, the
most rabid expansionist cannot take
exception to that expression, unless he
claims that it is mere buncombe. But
hardly had the expansionists of the
party been placated when the goldites,
who, in 1896, had 10000 votes, wanted to
have some concessions, and the plat
form makers struck all references tc
the free coinage of silver and 16 to
out of the platform. Other wings of the
poor old party in Virginia will be heard
from later, and by the time the plat
form makers are done trimming the
platform they may have evolved a
somewhat respectable document that
will come near being like the Republic
an platform.

If the United States would do for the
arid west what Russia is doing for ST.
IBERIA, then the west would soon exceed
the cas- in wealth and population. Like
the arid west, Siberia has for years
been looked upon as a territory hardly
worth while exploring, and only in COM
p%aratively recent years has the atten-
ton Of the general public been sufl-
GENTLY aroused to venture upon a par
tial investigation. The Russian govern
ment has spent $500, 000, 900 in building
a railroad through Siberia, and is now
spending immense sums for irrigation
works. Gold. silver, lead and iron mines
have been opened at public expense,
and colonies are being assisted to set
tie in all parts Of the domain. The pop
ulation of Siberia has doubled within a
few years, and where there were des-
erts before there are now prosperous
settlements and fertile fields. II only a
small per cent of the money that Rus
sia spent on Siberia were spent by the
United States government in storing
the waters Of the west, the result would
astonish the world.
