The Poultry Yard

The duck laying season ends this
month.
The March-hatched pullets
should begin To lay.
All the old surplus stock should
now be marketed.
There Is nothing better for
poultry during hot weather than
charcoal.
Keep up the fresh water supply:
warm water Is nauScating to the
stock.
Add linSeed-meal to the soft feed.
and place some rusty iron in the
drinking vessels.
Queer that some folks never
think of providing shade for their
hens in hot weather,
Save some of the best young
hens for breeding purposes, Eggs
from thrifty two-year-old hens are
pretty sure to hatch.
Poultry manure is worth not
less than Sl2 4 ton. But if you
store 1t where it will get wet, it
will not be worth much of any
thing.
You might about rs we'll throw
your hen manure into the creek as
TO mix 1t with ashes or lime. Peat
or muck is the best to use as an ab-
sorbent.
In feeding fowls it is best to
scatter all grain we'll. If this is
not done the stronger and more
pugnacious fowls will drive the
more timid and weaker ones away
from the feed, and. the latter will
not get their full share.
Give the hens n liberal amount
of food and care from now on until
they have gone through the eX-
hauStive process of growing new
feathers. They surely deserve the
very best Of care instead of the
neglect which is often their por-
ton. From August Farm journal.

Tired Of HObSOn.

The best evidence that there was
some good sense in the recent De-
mocratic convention at Denver was
demonstrated by the fact that Mr..
Hobson, hero of Merrimac and
Congressional fame, should have
been laughed at when he commen-
ced to talk about a war with Japan.
For some months this doughty
naval warrier of the South, who is
spelling a good physical fame by
an exploitation of mental irrespon-
Sibility, has been trying to work
up war spirit in which he would
array the United States on the one
side and Japan on the other. He
has Illuminated in Congress, he has
Illuminated in private, and he shot
his last gun at the Denver conven-
tion, in the ranks of his own party
members, and they laughed at him
The reception which they gave to
Mr.. Hobson's rantings did them
credit. He ought to take the hint
now and subside. He cannon
arouse the people of the United
States TO any beligerency when
there is no reason for it to exist,
He has done his duty. Now il
there is war the responsibility viii
uot be upon his head. Let him
keep cool.-Newburyport News.

BASEBALL
UppeFYills Coming Friday

Manager Reid and his strong
Upperville team will be here for a
game with the locals Friday, and
a good crowd will probably witness
the contest.
This game was scheduled for

The game will be called at ,
O'Clock. 10 allow tie visitors more

Passing Of the Horse Show

The days of the horse show APP
pear TO be numbered in the sense
that the fad is fast passing. Such
exhibitions as are genuine compe-
titions by breeders and owners in
Virginia willcontinue in the smaller
towns of the sections where fine
horses are bred and trained, but as
a fashionable amusement in the city
and mOney-getter for those who
are shrewd enough to play the fad
for Whist it is worth, it is practically

Pensions for School Teachers

The following notice, sent out
by the Department of Public In
struction. Is self-ex xplanatory:
l. Blank forms for pensions
have been sent by mail 10 the divi-
sion Superintendents. 1t is i'm
portant that each division superin-
tendent give particular attention
tO this matter, inasmuch as the
ruling has been made that it will
be necessary for all teachers who
have taught during the current
school year and who desire To be
pensioned TO be placed on The
Retired Teachers List before Au-
gust 1, 1905. No teacher can be
placed on this list who has not
taught during the school year end
ing July 81, 1908, and the applica-
ton must be forwarded through
the division superintendent under
whom the teacher served during
this year. If the superintendent
knows of 4 teacher who is entitled
TO Il pension and who, in his opin-
ion. desires TO received one, he
should communicate with him al
once. All of the facts and the law
in reference TO teachers pensions
are given on the form of appli-
cation.
,. Superintendents and clerks
of school boards should destroy all
of the old forms of contracts with
teachers. The new law requires
that every contract with 4 teacher
shall contain a clause providing tina,
one per cent of the teachers salary
shall be deducted and retained fol
pensions. The Department ol
Public instruction will take the
salary list of each district as basis
and charge the district with one
per cent. thereof, which amount
the clerk will remit to the Depart,
ment to be deposited as the law
requires.

A Different Man.

There is food for mental diges-
ton in this generalization by the
indianapolis News: "Papers
throughout the country recognize
that while it is the same candidate
as in 1896 and 1900, it is not going
to be the same easy sort of cam
paign. Mr.. Bryan is a vastly diff
fercnt man; political conditions

4 Complaint

EDITOR COURIER:
You have written some good editorials
about the High School and its needs: the
water system; the lighting of the town:
etc, and I wish 10 say there are many
more citizens with you and your way of
thinking than probably you may believe.
Now, Mr.. Editor, IL would not be a
bad idea to touch up the parties who are
responsible for the lighting of the town
as 10 the time when the street lights
should be lighted
On some OF the most important streets
in town the lights are not lighted until
after o'clock at night.
Mr.. Editor, many honest citizens are
ready for bed before that time.
Should not the streets be lighted be-
fore this hour:
After ladies stumble along home IN
the dark with their evening mail you
will observe some one lighting the
street lights
We ought TO have all lights all night,
but as it goes at present it seems difficult
TO get some lights even for part of the
night.
May we not have our streets lighted
at the time when they are most used
early evening

Strong Faculty for BOyCe

The faculty for the Boyce High
School, for the session of 19OS-9,
which has just been announced, is
a very strong one in every depart
ment, and reflects great credit
upon the School Board of the dis
trict and the Trustees of the school.
Mr.. ID. g. Cooley, of Frederick
county has been selected as Prin-
cipal. Mr.. Cooley has been prin-
cipal of the High School at Crozet,
Albemarle county, for three years,
and comes with the highest recon-
mendations from the State officers
of public instruction as well as the
school officials and patrons at
Crozet.
Miss Belle Chipley, of Frederick
county. has been selected as Assist
tant to the Principal. and her
record as teacher is a good one.
Since graduating from the Lynch
burg High School she has held
several positions through the State
schools, and has given entire salts
faction everywhere.
Miss Anna JolIiffe. of Boyce.
who so ably taught in the Boyce
school last year. will have charge
of the grammar grades, and will
undoubtedly maintain the high
standard of excellence which pre-
vailed in her classes last year.
She Is a graduate of the FarmyiIle
Normal School, which is in itself a
guarantee of her ability and good
work.
Mrs. Lora Stinson. who was
temporarily in the position of Prin-
cipai of the school last year. will
have charge of the primary depart
ment this year. and her past work
Is a guarantee of the excellent re-
suits which will be shown in her
classes this year. She is undoubt-
edly one of the ablest primary
teachers in the Valley, if not in
the State, and will be one OF the
most valuable members of this
faculty.
The Boyce High School has been
raised to the second grade of Vir-
ginia High Schools and will this
year receive the State aid to which
schools of that class are entitled.
The salaries of all the teachers
have been increased over last year,
and we are reliably informed that
the Principal will receive n larger
cash salary than that which has
heretofore been paid to the Princi-
pal of the only other High School
in the County.
Work upon the new building
for the High School is progressing
rapidly, and it will probably be
under roof this week.
The building is modern in design
and construction, with every con
venience and facility for the hand
ling of classes and the safety and
health of teachers and pupils.

Joe" Savage Seriously Burned.

Mr.. J. II. Savage, proprietor of
the famous KernStown distillery
near Winchester, and who has
many friends in Berryville and the
County, was seriously burned
about the face, arms and body on
Sunday night by the explosion of
the gasoline tank on his big auto
mobile. Returning with his wife,
mother and children from trip to
Front Royal, shortly after passing
the Opequon the engine of the ma
chine was found to be working
badly, and Mr.. Savage crawled
under the car to correct the trou-
bic. Gasoline from the fuel tank
was ignited by the torch, and he
was enveloped in flames. Rolling
on the ground he soon smothered
the flames on his own person and
then rescued his family from the
machine, which was in q blaze.
His mother was burned about the
arms and his wife had her clothing
burned. Mr.. Savage was taken to
the hospital in Winchester, and is
now there under treatment. The
physicians say that while he is
painfully burned, and will prob
ably be Scared, his condition is

For Contributions

10 tue Farmers OI the united
States:
The first contribution made TO
the Democratic campaign fnnd this
year, SO far as we know. was made
by an Iowa farmer. Just before
the Denver convention met this
man, who modestly profers not to
have his name mentioned, journey
ed more than 100 miles to Lincoln
with his contribution of 800.
which he left with Mr.. Bryan. to
be given to- the committee. when
organized for the campaign.
This farmer was born i'm
Sweden, and for some time after
lac was naturalized was a member
of the Republican paaty. But he
was student OF public questions.
and in the course of time became a
Democrat. He had been a reader
of the COmmoner since its estab-
hShment, and To manifest his deep
interest IN the success of the party
and in the triumph of Democratic
principles he made this ree-will
offering To the campaign fund.
1t l. very important that this
first contribution should come from
that great body of our population
known ~ agricullurstS. for the
farmer has nothing to gain by
privilege and favoritism. His
hope is in the application of The
doctrine of Equal rights to all and
special privileges to none. He
has been the victim OF all SPECIAL
legislation, and has suffered from
the control OF politics 10y the great
! predatory corporations.
Now that the Democratic party
nas announced its determination
not 10 accept contributions from
/ corporations, not 10 accept eXces-
Sive contributions even from indi-
vidualS, and to publish all con
tribu,ionS above 4 reasonable
minimum, it ought TO be able
TO secure sufficient cam
paign fund from those patriotic
citizens who ask from the govern
ment nothing but protection to
their rights and consideration for
the general welfare.
There are hundreds OF thous-
ands of farmers who are abund-
antly able To contribute to the
campaign fund. There are thous-
ands who could give 800 apiece
without feeling it. There are tens
OF thousands who could give $50
apiece without sacrificing anything
and still more who could give S25.
$40. or 50.
As the national committee has
not vet been organized. we will
ask the C0mmoner 10 call for sub
scriptionS 10 this farmers fund.
Those giving may indicate whether
they are willing To have their
names mentioned. and if the con-
tribution Is not more than 500,
their wishes will be complied with.
/ All contributions above 800 must
be known, no matter from whom
they come.
The farmers fund will be
turned over 10 the national com
mittee As soon as its permanent
officers have been selected. Who
will be the first To respond! The
Denver convention was n people s
convention. 1t was clear, strong
and honest platform. and its nom
nations were made with practical
unanimity. Our fi~ht Is n fiuht
for the whole people; our aim is
equal and exact Justice 20 all; our
purpose is to restore the govern
ment to the hands of the freely
chosen representatives Of the voter.
How many farmers will join in
furnishing the fund necessary to
present the issues!
Democratic papers will please
copy.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There IS
only one way to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inaamed you have a rumbhng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when il is
entirely closet, Deafness X the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing hut an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (cauScd by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by HAIRS Catarrh Cure.
