TO ADVERTISERS.

AS you will notice by looking It our
columns, we are getting the patron
age of the business community in a
very gratifying manner. We must
and will make our paper useful to our
patrons The first place we will look
carefully after the news columns and
editorial page, SO that the people will
want to read all of the West Vir-
gilman every day. In the second
place we will give our advertisers
every consideration with business
principles. We are sending out hum
Sdreds of sample copies every day,
thus reaching people who are not now
reading daily paper. The West Vir-
gilman will reach many country homes.
Already a number of people on the
Rural Routes have asked to be put on
our mailing list. We will have cor
respondents from most of the leading
centers in the county, and will always
welcome newsy letters from any part
Of the country. You stand by US and
we will stand by you, and thus we can
work together for the profit Of both
parties.

THE WINDS MYSTERY.
fountain and Valley HreeEes and
How They Originate.

CONTAIN and Valley BreeEea EnS
How They Originate.
The meteorologist is gradually d.
vestiug the wind of its mystery and is
able to explain convincingly how and
when it originates The study OF
great number Of observations taken ST.
multa neously all over the country and,
in fact all over two continents has en-
nbled the expert to foresee just when
wind and storm will arrive at certain
sections of the country.
OF course the physical Topography or
any neighborhood has its influence on
the local storms, fogs and prevailing
winds. The mountain" and valley
breezes'' that are SO eagerly sought
during the summer recreation Or So
iourn is an instance of the effect Of
mountains on local climate and wealth
er conditions. AS explained by pro-
lessor of meteorology, because OF ac-
tive radiation at night the layers OF
air near the earth become cooled, ana
as cool air is heavier than warm air,
a law of physics that Is generally ap-
preciated theoretically, but usually
overlooked practically, this heavy ar
tends to move down the hillside Inc
tendency becomes after time suth-
GENTLY pronounced to produce a gen
eral downhill movement, eventually re-
sulting in perceptible breeze.
That is what Is commonly designated
locally as 1.-The mountain breeze ana
which, from its origin, is practically IN
one constant direction, though the in
PREVENTION Of powerful storms may
temporarily reverse the customary
movement Vice versa, during the day
the presence Of warmer and therefore
lighter air near the earth causes
movement of the atmosphere with an
upward tendency, creating the SO call
ed valley breeZes. In certain favora-
bly, situated localities the appearance
of the mountain or the valley breeze
is as regular as clockwork, the transit
tional period being marked by a ca4m-
Philadelphia Record.

Monthly Of an English officer who was
dining with a friend, all unconscious
Of the impending danger Presently
he received a Summons from the war
department. telling him that his regi-
ment was ordered out to deal with the
mob
He bastened back to his own house,

permission to go out for the evening
and had the key of the stable In bis
pocket The officer hastily donned his
uniform and then had 10 proceed on
foot to the guards armory, which lay
on the other side Of Hyde park. Walk
ing hastily in that direction, he came
out unexpectedly at the very headquar-
ters Of the mob, where they were al
ready pling up the fences.
His uniform was recognized, and an
CRY shouts arose 1t must have seemed
for the moment to the mob that the
Lord had delivered their worst enemy
into their bands.
There was but one thing to be done
He made his way straight toward the
center Of action and called to a man
who was mounted on the pile and was
evidently the leader Of the tumult:
II say, my good man, my regiment
has been called out by her majesty,s
orders Win you give me a hand over
this pile:"
The nun hesitated minute and then
said, with decision: Boys, the gentle
man is right. He is doing his duty,
and we have no quarrel with him. Lend
q hand, and help him over -
This was promptly done, with entire
respect, and the officer in brilliant uni.
form went hastily on his way am1d
three cheers from the mob. Then the
mob returned to its work, to complete
it if possible before he whom they and
ed should come back at the head OF his
regiment and perhaps ORDER them to be
shot down.

Records Of Farm Drains.

Another feature of engineering
work for farm drainage in which there
should be great Improvement Is that
Of maps and records. At Ames, on
the college farm, the present author.
tues have had predecessors who put
in quite extensive amounts of tile
drains without leaving accurate plats,
so that in many places we cannot now
find even where the drains were
built, to say nothing of their sizes,
grades and depths. In making exca.
vations old lines Of tile whose very
existence was not suspected are not
infrequently encountered, and the
writer knows Of places where at least
two systems Of tiles in the same To-.
cality have been put In by successive
generations of authorities. The same
or worse state of affairs must result
on individual farms throughout the
state, as time goes by and the farms
change owners, unless the present al.
most total neglect Of keeping com.
plete records of all tile drains built
Is remedied. Even IL the land does
not change owners, mems memories
fail, and the writer has often noted
that even after very few years men
who actually help build drains are fre.
quently unable to locate them with
in a considerable distance. Without
complete maps showing the particu.
lars of our drains how can we hopo to
keep them in working order! The
breaking and choking up Of a single
tile might render many acres of land
worthless in a wet season, and cause
enough damage in single year to
have paid ten times over for records
which would have enabled the DIFF.
ficulty to be located and remedied at
less than one dollars eXpense.-Iowa

In Bethune street, where Greenwich
village seems to tie itself into a knot
of tangled thoroughfares, there Is an
old.time herb shop. Fifty years or so
ago there were many Of them in New

The sign over the door reads: "A
herb for. every pain" On the shelves
and counters are three hundred kinds
Of herbs for the cure Of human ills,
end bottles with fluid extracts made
from nearly hal: of that number, or
combinations Of them. Customers with
old-fashioned ideas about health and
sickness go there for bugle.weed for
consumption, sumach lor sore throat,
wintergreen for rheumatism, and ex.
tract of oats to cure drunkenness. AT
this season Of the year there Is a con.

Breeding Hardy Fruits.

Over large area Of the prairie
northwest, many of the fruits grown
in the eastern and southern states are
deficient in hardness. This has been
demonstrated by thousands of plant.
ers. The climatic extremes OF the
northwestern prairies do not make
fruit culture impossible; but care
must be taken in the selection Of
varieties. The frUit lists adopted by
the various state horticultural SO.
cieties give the general experience
with varieties. The beginner should
coniine his first main planting to the
sorts which have stood the test, but
often the list Is so short that the
varieties recommended for trial are
needed to fill out the list. There is
need of extending the present short
list of fruits. Successful fruit culture
is essential to true hoTe-making upon
tho open prairies. hence the work OF
originating hardy fruits Is OF the high.
est possible Importance. 1t is only In
recent years that the immense i'm.
portance of plant-breeding has become
generally recognized. Plant.breedng
means the originating Of improved
varieties by selection. crossing and
hybridizing. These are often termed
