STUDENTS HELPED TO PAY
THEIR WAY THROUGH COLLEGE

The University of Virginia has had
the reputation of being a rich mans
college. That there is no grounds for
this was shown last year in an article.
by DIR. Alderman, in which he showed
that more than 200 men had helped
themselves by either working before
they came to the University, or after
getting there, or else by borrowing the
money 70 pay their way through. The
Young Mems Christian Association is
taking an active interest in securing
work for all deserving students; and a
large number of men through the
Association have secured positions
whereby they can earn from one third
to one half of their expenses while at
the University. The Association also
sends out hand book of useful infor-
nation to all prospective students.

GOOD ROADS IN SOUTH
No Excuse for Letting Highways Re
main Permanently Bad.

IL IS very exceptional neighbOrhood
m the South that does not need better
roads, and II is an equally exceptional
community that cannot have better
roads. While many sections cannot
hope to have the best roads macadam
or gravel-for long time to come,
there Is no excuse for any locality al
lowing its roads to remain positively
and permanently bad.
A good road is a () hard. (2) smooth
road. 81 free from heavy grades. ANY
roads which answers TO these require
ments will insure easy and quick travel
ing, and permit of the hauling Of large
loads and that is all that is required Of
road. Of course. the best road is the
hardest and smoothest one, the macadam
road being superior to the gravel road
and the gravel road TO the earth road /.
but remember that even the earth road
need not be bad. This is the thing We
wish this good roads special To saw 10
every man who reads II, There is a
way for you 10 improve the road over
which you travel, and il will pay you TO
do 1t. If we can only get our readers

and their own money by dragging over
rocks, pulling through deep sand, Jolt
ing across bitches, splashing about in
mudholes, and climbing steep hills.
Every road cannot be macadamized, or
even graveled; but many more could be
than are. Few bond issues for good
roads IN our territory have been bad in
vestments, while the cases in which
they would be good investments can be
numbered by the hundreds. The tax
the ordinary farmer would have TO pay
10 build and maintain stone roads. in
any moderately settled community. is
much smaller than the tax he now pays
to bad roads in the increased cost Of
his hauling. Over a large section Of
the South sand-clay roads could be
built at very small cost. indeed. com
pared to what they would be worth 10
the communities through which they
run. Thousands and thousands Of miles
of earth roads could be redeemed from
their chronic state Of badness by the
persistent use Of the split-log road drag.
and the cost Of doing the work would
be so small that no one would feel il.
And everywhere that there is bad
road il could be improved If the men
who work 1t would simply remember
that the surface Of the road should al
ways be kept smooth and free from OBJ
structions, and that the first thing To
do with the water that falls on a road

THE OYSTER SEASON

Assurance of an abundant supply of
wholesome oysters during the season
just opened is given by DR.. II. f.
Moore, expert on oysters and assistant
to the u. 5. Bureau of Fisheries. DR..
Moore has returned to Washington from
an extended trip and an exhaustive in
vestigation of the oyster beds of Mary
land and Virginia. DIR. Moore says many
cases of TYPHOID fever are unfairly
charged to the oyster While some
cases may be traced to the mollusk, the
oyster is not responsible for many cases
of the fever with which it is credited.
The natural beds of Maryland and Vir-
ginia are well stocked with the oyster
growth and the planters of these states
have a considerable supply of the
biValves.

Taft AND JONES
And the Appointment Of Census Super
visor.

When President Taft took up the
nominees for census supervisor Of the
First district, he found that Congress-
man Jones had man, but that Senator
Martin and the machine had indorsed
another.
This won't do, " said the President.
Il can't go against my friend VIM. A.
Jones, so I'll make a personal appoint
ment of his man.. And he did.
Taft and Jones have been intimate
personal friends for years. They we're
fond of each other at time when Taft
had no favors TO bestow upon the Vir-
ginia Democrat. Jones went TO the
Philippines with Taft and always said
he would be placed in an embarrassing
position If Taft were nominated for the
Presidency, as he would have to vote
against him.
He did vote against Taft, but when
ever he made speeches in last year $
national campaign he always said nice
things about Taft. SO the President
took the first chance TO get back at him.

Today and Yesterday.
Changes In What We Wear And
What We Eat.

The steamship replaced the sailing
vessel, the electric light succeeded the
oil lamps, and we have no need, nor de-
sire to "trade back" Our health is
just as good and we can crowd that
much more work and play into the
day Of twenty-four hours.
Foods have changed, too. Corn bread
and wheat flour share honors with
dainty yet substantial prepared foods" !"
People now realize the necessity Of
stomach care. They eat more fruit and
green stuffs and cereals and the health is
better for it.
The old fashioned breakfast Of ''beef-
steak, potatoes and bread" or bacon
and eggs and mullins" are replaced by
E-C Corn Flakes or Egg O-See Wheat
Flakes and fruit, and our health is
better for it. All the nourishment Of
the grain is retained in the crisp flakes,
and it's no task for the stomach.
Children grow fat on it. Invalids gain
strength on it and man can do bet
ter days work on it than to load his
stomach with meats and heavy foods.
Remember always it's the 'Egg-O-See''
brands that are "made right" Watch
for the E-C Mark on the package.

Escaped Convict Gets to Top Of

Bainbridge, Ca, June At took
Charles Harding, alias A.. D. Oliver,
just five months and three days to run
the social gamut from escaping con-

Tertiary again. The climax came
when Sheriff Jones of Monroe county,
Miss, arrived here and identified A.
D. Oliver as the Charles Harding who
escaped from custody Dec. 81 last.
Harding, said the sheriff, had eleven
years to serve in Mississippi for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
The sheriff said that previously Har-
ding served in an Ohio penitentiary
for a similar offense. ...z..: . ..

Climax. At the height of his success
he married Miss Rose English. He
was both a social lion and reputed
financial genius.
A few days ago Oliver was arrested
charged with swindling the people OF
Climax out of many thousand dollars,
his bride filed suit for divorce and
one Of his employees in the Climax
bank was threatened with lynching
after Oliver had been placed in jail
here. News of the arrest attracted
