Do farmers ear the proper
sor: OF food?

The farmer OK today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's a good thing that this is SO because
he has great variety TO select from.
He should, however, use great care
IN selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city

MR.. STUART'S RECORD

Every candidate for public Office
must face two things at least, his
character and his record. In these
days ii seldom occurs that man of
doubtful character will offer himself
for public office. Conscience, if moth
ing else, makes of him coward, and
deters him. lie must also face his
record. If he has one il is his chief
asset, and his strongest plea. \ man
who has been tried and made good
in a responsible, important position
can come before the people with
good grace and put forth his deeds
and doings in the full blaze, and
claim the support Of his constituents
whom he has served upon his former
record. 1t is unwise TO turn ont or
turn down good, conscientious,
successful public servant who has
made good unless better one can
be secured in his stead.
Mr. Henry c. Stuart has no record
as n congressman OF the United
States He has never been there.
and of course, has no congressional
experience. As.to character, intelli-
gence, ability both native and ac-
quired, he is known and read OF all
men in the State OF Virginia, and
the man or newspaper which would
assail, or attempt to discount either
of these would be INSCRIPTIONS and
reckless indeed. While Mr.. Stuart
has no record as a congressman, he
has brilliant public record, both ~
a member OF the constitutional Con-
vention and OF the Corporation Com
mission. He was leading spirit
and force in both. FIom his doings
and acts in these two responsible and
highly important positions, can be
a@tc!y judged whether or no. he is ca
pable oil filling the higher pos 'tion Of
Congressman, il indeed il is" higher. -
His record is written in the Strensth
or weaknesses Of the provisions and
results of the new constitution of Vir-
ginia, and the far-reaching effects Of
the work OF the State Corporation
Commission. Mr.. Stuart and his
friends, nolens Volens, must face his
record as a pubic servant in these
two, the only public positions he has
ever held, and we take the liberty of
saying that Mr.. Stuart is PERFECTLY
willing that the intelligent peoule
of his district shall know all the
facts and judge him ACCORDINGLY.
Has he made good?" If not where
In? We invite criticism. But bring
your candidate into the open, also.
Place them side by side.
