The Staunton Leader says that
"the purpose of store advertising
is not merely to sell goods, but to
sell more goods, to make friends,
build up a patronage that will not
only stick, but grow. Newspapers, ="
continues the Leader, reach the
greatest number of people in the
Immediate vicinity in the most nat
ural way, at the least expense, and
they are therefore the best of all
mediums of advertising for the
merchants. The reader of The
Progress, or of any other city pa
per, may readily satisfy himself OF
the truth of the above statement.
If he will note the merchants
whose advertisements appear lib
orally in the paper, and then 60 to
their stores he will find them crowd
ed with customers, whereas in the
stores of the merchants who do not
advertise the clerks have an album
dance of unoccupied time on their
hands. That the merchant who
advertises is the merchant who
"does business" is an easily demon
strated proposition.

OIL In P0CAH0NTAS.

Reports of the supposed volcano
in Pocahontas county have reached
the four corners of the earth al
most, and food of prospectors
has been brought into the county
by them. 1t is almost certain now
that the fire is caused by burning
gas, and not by the burning of a
peaty bog, as was the theory adj
vanced by DR.. I. c. White, State
Geologist.
The excitement in the neighbor-
hood Of the towns of Greenbank
and Arborvale is becoming intense.
Oil and gas leases have been taken
on nearly all the land in that i'm
mediate vicinity. Land is being
leased at $500 per acre. One man,
by the name of Rittenhousen we
understand, has taken options on
numerous tracts of land near
Greenbank. He has had about
thirty years experience in the oil
and gas regions of the country,
and, we are informed that he is
favorably impressed with the out
look of striking oil or gas as soon
as test is made. We learn, on
good authority, that he will form a
company for the purpose of boring
a test well the first of April. Mar

TUBERCULOSIS SANATORIUM

Richmond, Va, Jan. 23.-The
State Board of Health announced
today that DR.. r. F. Williams, Of
Ell Paso, Texas, who was elected
Superintendent of the State Sana.
forum for Consumptives, has &C
copied the position and will assume
his duties by March the first.
DR.. Williams is a native Of Vir-
ginia and nephew of Bishop Chan
ming Williams Of Japan, but he is
not relation of the Health Com
mission, DR.. E. G.. Williams. The
new superintendent is graduate of
the University of Virginia, and was
for some years a professor in the
Medical College of Virginia, at
Richmond, and moved to Texas in
1906. The selection of the Board
is considered a particularly fortu-
nate one, in view of DR.. Williams
wide experience and special train
ing for this line of work.
The Board also announced that
the Sanatorium at the old Red Sui
phur Springs would be opened in
the course of a few weeks, with ac-
commodations for a considerable
number of patients. This number
will be increased as rapidly as ar
rangements can be made to house
the patients. The Board has de-
cided to call the Sanatorium the
"Catawba Sanatorium," in view
of it's location in the valley of that
name.
In speaking of the outlook to-
night, DR.. E. G. Williams, Health
Commission, said, 1.-THE State
Board does not intend to make the
Catawba Sanatorium a resort for
hopeless consumptives and we will
for the present at least, admit only
those patients whose cases are
deemed durable. This regulation
is necessary, in order that cases
which can be cured may not be
crowded out by those who have no
chance of recovery. The Board
has also decided that a minimum
charge of five dollars per week will
be made to all patients admitted to
the Sanatorium.

West Virginia is the richest

declared Arthur English, a lawyer

at the Raleigh,

held by its people, but in natural
resources. The coal output of the
state last year was A 100000 tons.

Goals are rated in their relation to
the Pocahontas coal of the state,
which ranks first. There are now
5000, 100000 tons in the Pocahon-
tas fields, and at the present rate
of mining it will take $50 years to
mine this coal.
Timber in West Virginia cannot
be exhausted in 80 years. There
are yellow poplar trees that will cut
10000 feet to the tree, and the
selling price of that lumber here in
rs city is $65 the 1000. Some
of the best grades of this lumber
commands 5000 per 1000 feet in
the European markets. The West
Virginia oil is the finest in the
United States, and in the southern
part of the state it has only begun
to be produced. The great draw.
back in the State is the lack OF
sufficient means to develop these
resources. West Virginia surely
presents great field for invest
ment."

WHY WORKING WOMEN DO NOT MARRY

In an article entitled "a Substi-
tute fer Matrimony" in the Febru-
airy Woman's Home Companion.
Anna Steese Richardson proves
conclusively that the majority of
business girls of to-day do not
marry because the men they might
marry do not earn as much money
as they do. Mrs. Richardson speaks
with authority-she has greater
experience than perhaps any other
woman in America. She concludes
her article thus:
"The business woman of to-day
is achieving financial success at
the sacrifice of domestic content
and maternal instinct. Is it aO0rth

i SuIfs aafusEfA5t

Key, J.. Moo, Stag Of Highland
county, Presbyterian missionary to
africa, now on a visit to tins co'ln-
try, brought back with him many
curios which he has distributed
among his friends. Among other
things he gave to Mr.. and Mrs. D,
NJ. Kyle, his friends, the tooth OF a
hippopotamus slain by Mr.. Sieg
shortly before his return to TINS
country. The tooth was stlll IN
a green state. The tooth is about
8 or 10 inches long, two or more III
diameter, and weighed pound or
two.
Last Friday night the family had
a singular experience with this
tooth, which was lying on a table
in the parlor. About II o'clock
several members of the family, all
of whom had retired and were
asleep, were aroused by a sudden
report; an explosion of some sort
which they did not understand and
could not locate.
The next morning some member
of the family who entered the par
lor found the tooth had exploded,
split from end to end, and a piece
broken. The parts were scattered
over the room. 1t is supposed the
drying out of the tooth and posi-
BILE irregular contraction caused the
explosion.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Kyle value the relic
very highly, more highly in fact,
with this history, and will have the
parts put together and fastened.
Possibly the hippo was blowing
out toothache before he was ex-
terminated, and is now finishing
the iob.-Staunton Dispatch.

A table has been compiled from the
statistics of the Census Bureau and
the Department of Agriculture, which
shows that the rise in the market
value of horses has been out of all
proportion in the last fifteef years to
the increase in their number in the
United States. From 1893 to 1908 the
horse population so to speak, in
creased 3,7S5,O00, or 23 per cent In
the same period the gain in the num-
Der of human inhabitants was 21,979,-
OOO or 33 per cent. But the increase
in the value OF the horses in this coun-
try was no less than $S75,300,000, or
SS per cent.
These facts will astonish many per-
sons who have supposed that the
growth of the automobile interest has
been very adverse to the horse breed
ers and to the market demand for
horses. On the contrary, the prices
obtained for good horses, especially
for heavy draft animals of blood and
stamina, have risen far beyond the
hopes Of horse dealers a few years
ago. Horses are worth about so per
cent more in proportion to their num-
ber than they were in 1898.

Oats make an excellent food for the
poultry, providing they are Of the right
kind. The long, slim oat, with plenty
Of husk or hull is poor feed for any
thing, but the plump, meaty oat Is a
good feed for all stock, including poul-
try.
Hulled oats for young chickens after
they are three or four weeks old will
help them to make bone and muscle
faster than any other one feed, and
this is the most desirable element at
this period of growth.
For grown or feeding fowls we have
at most seasons of the year fed one
feed of oats daily with most satisfac-
tory results. We have fed some oats
after boiling them for fall and winter
feeding, but they were of poor quality
and the boiling was to soften the hulls
rather than because the boiling added
any other value to the oats feed itself.
Boiling Is not necessary with good
oats except by way of variety in feed
ing. The best way is to feed them in
the litter, scattered well and deeply so
the fowls will have to do considerable
neutrality-suspicious. Epitopist.

wedding one Improbable Cow.

Dairy farms are continually advanc-
ing in value, which should be regard
ed as the part Of the profits. Grain
farming is hard on the land Many
hard run grain farms have zen
brought back to a good state of fertili-
ty by changing to cows.
With the case in test it will be pos
sible to weed out the poor cheese cows
on the same principle that we have
used the Babcock butter test to weed
out the poor butter cows. Instead of
keeping cows for cheese which aver
age 10 pounds Of casein per 100
pounds of fat, we may breed cows that
will produce milk containing close to
10 pounds of casein for 100 pounds of
fat. We need to specialize In cheese
just as intelligently and carefully as
in butter production.

To Cure Kicking Cows.

To cure kicking COW is often diff
ficult and tedious task, and unless
some method of restraining them
from kicking Is adopted more loss
than profit may result through split
milk. The person milking also runs
considerable risk of injury in some
form or other
When the cause of kicking can be
assigned to vice or an acquired bad
habit, the following little arrangement
will be found useful, and, at the same
time, simple, harmless, effective, mex
pensive and easily applied. A strap
about one inch wide should be buckled
around each hind leg little above the
hook sufficiently tight to compress the
hamstring.
The animal cannot kick, and II flies
are troublesome and cause her to
switch her tail, the best plan Is to
either strap it to her leg or secure 1t
to one of the straps with a piece Of
cord. Use the straps every time the
animal Is milked, and after three
weeks or so omit, to ascertain wheth-
er cure has been effected or not.
