MR.. pETzoLD REPLIES.
Denounces Mr.. Harris Attack as
Sanderous and False.

MT. r. C. Petzold. member of the
board of aldermen from the Third
ward, makes the following reply TO an
attack made upon him by Councilman
w. C. Harris on the floor of the COM
mon council Friday night:
Newport News. Va, April 10.
Editor Daily ress:-Will you kind
ly grant me space in your valuable
columns to reply to a most unwar-
rantable attack made upon myself by
Mr.. w. c. Harris on the floor Of the
common council Friday night.
am ready at all times to go be-
fore by constituents and have them
Judge my official actions, in the exer-
else OF my prerogatives as aldermen. |
have No apologies to make and such
criticisms as made by Mr.. Harris are
seldom INDUCED in by reputable gen.
tlemen. | am at all times in favor OF
the most rigid economy in the govern
mental affairs of Newport News, but
do not hesitate to say that i am ut
tefly opposed to reductions in salaries
except upon pro rata scale. This
would be fair. equitable, and just
manner. and could not invite any
very serious or just objections.
Owing to my physical condition
did overlook the payment of my poll
tax. (being absent from the city at
that time). but when Mr.. Harris
makes the insinuation that this omis-
sion prevented me from being a can
didate for reelection as alderman.
the statement is as false and untrue
as it is malicious and slanderous.
The amount of my city taxes DEM
.ons,rates beyond question my interest
and confidence in the permanency OF
Newport News. had no thought OF
being a candidate and so stated plain
ly to a gentleman now in the field.
at the time was honored by my
election to the aldermanic body to NIL
a temporary vacancy.
Should ever again become 8 can
didate for ONCE there viii be no hest
tation In making my position plain.
Yours very truly,
tSigned) RO. c. PETZOLD.

1872 per ton. the average saving In the
daily expense of feed for each work
day amounted to LIZ cents by the use
Of Oilmeal In the place Of oats.
FOurth.-A brief trial Of ninety
days with gluten feed indicated that,
while It was capable Of giving good re-
suits. the ration containing 1t was not
as palatabie as the Oilmeal ration and
cost a trifle more per pound when
gluten feed was worth $2S ton.
Fifth.-COttOnseed meal gave some
what better results on the whole than
oilmeal. The ration containing II was
fully as palatable and as efficient In
maintaining the health and weight OF
the horses. Ii was less laxative and
little cheaper with cOttOnseed meal at
$50 ton.
Sixth. - With corn at so cents a
bushel and oats at 40 cents. Oilmeal
had a value Of fully $50 a ton for feed
Ing to work horses. with cOttOnseed
meal worth trlfle more still. At the
usual prices Of these feeds their use
resulted In a substantial lowering OF
the cost Of maintaining the horses.

PRACTICAL CONSERVATION.

The most direct and practical way
for the average corn belt farmer to do
n little conserving of natural resources
on his own account is to make more
economical disposal Of the products
raised on his own farm. For some
this will mean putting stop to the
grain selling type Of farming In vogue
for years and the feeding Of raw prod
nets to beef steers. hogs and dairy
COWS. For others who may have al
ready taken this step ahead 1t will
mean the installation Of the silo for
the more complete utilization OF the
large quantity Of corn which Is han-
died In such a slovenly manner IN SO
many sections. For some others 1t
will mean more rational disposal OF
the homemade fertilizers. much OF the
strength and value Of which are lost
by leeching and exposure to weather.
and the best way out In this Is the use
of manure Spreader ut the proper
time. These types of conservation OF
resources may not be very spectacular
or elicit great amount OF public ap-
pIause, but they will do more to In
crease a fellows financial rating and
cause prosperity and plenty in the
land than any other single project
which Is today receiving attention.

Dvinu to Order.

Dying to order Is one OF the most
sacred customs Of the American In
dian. Many years ago Standing Elk
went to Major James Mclaughlin. the
author Of "My Friend the Indian" and
said, Father. my wife will die today,
and she wants a coffin from you"
The major asked him what the all
ment was, and he replied:
"Just nothing but that she heard the
ghosts calling and must CO."
Somebody had told her, 1t turned
out. that she was sick. so she had
'painted for DEATH" and all her rela-
tIves had gathered about to bemoan
her-and incidentally divide her prop
erty as soon as she was dead. There
was no use In the majors arguing
about II. so he had the coffin made.
In many cases those painted for
death" are actually bullied into dying.
but Mrs. Standing Elk was still too
vigorous. Finally in despair she car
ried the coffin into the house on her
own shoulders, and several years later
the major saw 1t still standing on end
in her house. Shelves had been fitted
into 1t, and 1t was doingHuty as cup

warmed the steak he cut 1t all up Win

ORCHARD HEATING DEVICES.


When the fruit ranchmen In several
sections Of the west where spring
frosts are likely to occur were first
confronted with this menace to their
industry they seemed to consider
themselves victims Of natural forces
and we'll nigh helpless. But within
the past few years necessity has prov
ed the mother Of invention. and they
have devised methods whereby they
have been able to protect their trees
at blossom time against damage by
frost. Among these devices oil pots
simple lamps adapted to the burning
of crude oil-and little stoves for the
burning of soft coal have proved ef-
fective methods Of keeping the tenn
perature above the freezing point. In
some other sections where wood Is
plentiful as good or even better re-
suits have been secured by building
from twelve to fifteen small wood
fires per acre. In one case In which
these wood fires were used by a friend
In a western valley last spring he
protected his ten acre orchard Tor

during the frosty period. He had pre-
viously tried oil pots and coal and yet
found wood fires more effective In CIV

KNEW ENOUGH TO QUIT.

In d majority of cases when a fellow
has scrimped and worked hard a score
of years to accumulate competence
for old age he has acquired physical
AID mental habits which make 1t hard
for him to let loose and take life easier,
10 enjoy the we'll earned fruit Of his
thrift and industry. But now and
then one meets the man who knows
enough to quit before the capacity to
enjoy the good things Of life Is extinct.
We ran across him the other day. A
dozen years ago he bought a ranch;
was long on perseverance and indus
try, but short OH cash. In the years
succeeding be worked hard and let
nothing keep him from developing his
property In the best possible manner,
and 1t Is fair to assume that his good
wife and the children shared In this
work so far as they were able. The
years Of hard work did much to IN
dermine his health, and a few months
ago he sensibly came to the conclusion
that he would sell his holding ana
take life easier He disposed Of his
property at good figure. moved to
town and bought cOmmodious resi-
dence property. He has ordered an
automobile and will add this pastime
10 others which IRE within his reach.
This man has good horse sense. Far
better for one to do as he has done
than to keep on In the treadmill until
health is gone and everybody In the
home has become sick Of the grind and
scrimp and has little zest for what the
coming days may hold. Many would
get vast amount of happiness out OF
living If they did as this man has done
