Passing of the Piow Horse.

Within ten years approximately
eight million acres of farm land in
the United States and Western
Canada have been taken away from
the horse and turned over to the
steam and fuel engine to beplowed,
and the farmers of Illinois, Iowa,
Indiana and other parts of the
"corn belt" are beginning to fol-
low the example set by the owner
of larger farms in the newer prairie
sections. The improvements made
within the last few years in the
smaller traction engine using gaso-
line or oil. have also solved many
of the problems presented in the
moist" districts of soft soils and
small farms, which the old and
larger steam traction engine could
not meet By John Arbuthnotte,

HONORS TO SuPT. KEISTER.

Mondays Richmond Virginian
contains good likeness of Supt.
w. H. Keister, of the Harrisonburg
Schools, along with the photograph
of three other officers of the State
Teachers Association of Virginia.
Supt Keister, who is attaining con-
siderable prominence in the educa-
tional field of this State, and there
by adding to Harrisonburg's repu-
tation as a school center, is one of
a small number of representative
men of Virginia who have been in
vited to attend a luncheon given to
President VIM. H. Taft, at the JET
ferson, in Richmond, next We'd
nesday, Nov. %. The President

PANAMA..-I9I3.

Mr.. Taft by his trip to Panama
has again done violence to the old
tradition that "the President must
never leave the soil of the United
States" but has met with less sue
cess in quoting the fear of annexa-
ton that dwells in the breasts OF
the Panamans. He has shown
that when an executive puts his
foot on foreign soil, as he did in
Panama it does not leave his coun-
Try presidentless. But when they
view the ample proportions of Our
President the Panamans cannot
keep from thinking how easy it
would be for such a big country to
swallow so small republic.
According to reports, Mr.. Taft
found the work at Panama pro-
ceeding with commendable rapidity,
confirming his faith in the promise
of Chief Engineer Goethals that the
canal will be completed in 1913.
The term of Mr.. Taft as President
will end in 1918, at noon on March
4, and may be completed before
the canal is. If Mr.. Taft does not
open it, probably We can find some
good Democrat who will Elk.

Decline of the Mustache.

Permission to wear mustache was
eagerly sought after In the middle OF
the last century. But now the virile
decora ton is discarded. Why? In
those old days the Bank Of England
would not allow its employees to wear
It aud issued an order which might
have come more appropriately from a
bank Of Ireland. 1t was to the effect
that the mustache was not to be worn
in business hoursl A large drapery
firm In London objected not only to
the mustache. but to hair parted down
the middle. There is more tolerance
now. Men look younger when clean
shaved. They are also more readable
without the protection given by the
mustache to the upper lip. If hearts
can be worn on sleeves thoughts can
be read on upper lips. But is 1t always
wise to leave the legend unhidden?
Men seldom like to be OWNED. as La
Rochefoucauld remarked once and for
all time.-London Express.

Mt. Scion, Nov. 1S.--After the
burning of the home of Jacob M.
Daggy, near this place, a week or
so ago, it was reported a consider
able sum of money had been con-
sumed by the fire, this, however,
proved to be incorrect so far as a
large sum was concerned. The re-
port quickly spread oyer the neigh
borhood which resulted in large
sums being removed from various
hiding places and deposited in the
Mt. Scion bank.
We were informed a morning or
two after the fire that something
like $4,000 was deposited before
breakfast.

a Coin In tho Sea.

A coin dropped into the sea will sink
to the bottom. however deep 1t Is. ow-
ing to the fact that the metal Is heavier
than the volume Of water 1t displaces.
II liz common but mistaken notion
that the density of the sea increases
with It's depth and consequent pres
sure. rs does the density Of the atmos-
phere. which we all know is greatest
AT the earth's surface. The air. how
ever. like all gases. is elastic and when
under pressure las with Its own
weight, shrinks In volume and gains in
density. Water. on the other hand. Is abb
solutely incompressible. ahd. although
the pressure In the sea increases at the
rate of one pound for every two feet
we descend. the density Of the water re-
mains the same; consequently the pen
ny continues to outweigh the water 1t
displaces. and the coin sinks until 1t
finds a solid resting place. The pres
sure Of the water has no influence at
all on the coin. acting as 1t does on all
sides equally.

CITY OFFICIALS ARE INELIGIBLE.

The proposed amendment to the
Constitution permitting county
treasurers and commissioners of
the revenue to succeed themselves
has been carried, while the other
three have been defeated. This
means that in the future these Of
fcers will be elected by the people
and will be eligible to remain in Of
flee so long as the people wish.
The amendment making an iden-
teal provision as to the city treas
urers and commissioners has been
defeated. meaning that treasurers
must continue to serve only two
successive terms and that commits
sioners in cities must step out at
the end of each term unless they
wero appointed by the judge. If
elected by the people as they will
be hereafter under the new Bell
law, which is effective next year,
they may serve only one term.
Immediately after the canvass
of the vote by the State Board of
Canvassers on November %, the
Governor must make proclamation
of the result, stating therein the
aggregate vote for and against each
amendment, to be published in the
newspapers. If a majority of the
votes are found to be for any
amendment, he is to annex to his
proclamation copy of it, and it
becomes a part of the Constitution
without further proceeding.
The vote now appears to be as
follows:
For longer sessions of the Legis-
lature, II ,361; against 40, 1886.
For one reading of bills, 20,269;
against, 81, 730.
For county Officers succession,

CRIPPEN dies.

London, Nov. 21.-Dr. H. Haw.

column signed statement in a Sun

He appeals to the world to re-

that the real truth will be revealed.
He knew nothing, he says, of the
remains discovered in the Hilldrop

ritual at Bow street. He was con-
fident that if he could have COM
manded unlimited funds like the

have been different.

he was convinced would reverse the
judgement of the court, crushed
and overwhelmed him and broke

THE DAIRY cow.

The dairy cow does more than
bring financial success to the dairy
farmer. She makes him better
citizen than he would otherwise be.
Her influence upon home conditions
is a most pleasing contribution to
those factors which are responsible
for the changed conditions which
prevail in the farm homes of today.
Thousands of these homes are now
characterized by comfort and hap
piness where formerly they were
blighted by drudgery and uhhapLi-
ness.
Better financial conditions have
contributed to this change, and the
dairy COW has been in no small way
responsible. She has contributed
in still another way. The dairy
cow teaches kindness. Her owner
soon learns that only by treating
her kindly can he secure the high
est possible returns from her, and
she responds quickly to kind words
and proper care. Her disposition
is one that the human family might
well emulate. She is patient and
long suffering, acquiescing mutely
in the arrangements made by her
owner for carrying on the dairy bus
mess, striving at all times to repay
him for every effort made for her
care and comfort.
The members of the family, as
they come in contact with her and
her kindly disposition, are influence
ed for good, AS they appreciate
the financial benefit to come from
caring for her well they take a deep
er interest in her. In doing so
they unconsciously cultivate those
qualities which make them better
citizens.
The dairy COW the prototype of
mans best friend = is welding a
greater influence than she is gener-
ally credited with. She has al
ways been found in the front ranks
in the march of civilization and no
agricultural country can long pros
per without her. She is a potent
factor in the upbuilding of such a
country, and wise people will APP
preciate her and encourage the in
dustry of which she is the founda-
ton. The National Dairy Union.

THE BOOK OF BOOKS

DVVfN Va SVSshS
The most impressive spectacle we
have ever witnessed was the parade
of the Bible students of Richmond
Yesterday afternoon. Although
there were six thousand men in the
marching columns, it was not by
any means the largest procession
that has been witnessed in this
town, and it could not be compar-
ed with the military displays that
have been made here. There was
no martial music, no uniformity In
dress, no lavish show of flags and
banners, no attempt at spectacular
effects, and for these reasons the
demonstration was all the more i'm
pressive. Viewed from the piazza
of the Cathedral, opposite Monroe
Park, it seemed that the marching
column would never end. With
the flag of the country and the ban
ner of the Cross at the head OF the
parade it moved on and on without
one word of command, a silent,
self-respecting, serious-minded,
glorious company, willing and glad
to testify in this way that the Bible
is the Word of God, the wisdom of
God and the knowledge of God
which shall yet set the world free.
Denominationals line were broken
down yesterday; there was a BAN
ner here and there, showing the
lines of the divisions, but not for
disputations purposes; for the pa
rade was in fact only one of the
grand corps of the Church of God.
There were no social lines in the
marching hosts-here as Solomon
wrote in his Proverbs: "The rich
and poor meet together: the Lord
is the maker of them ALL" The
Governor of the Commonwealth,
Judges from the Bench, scholars
from their studies, ministers from
their pulpits, bankers and brokers
mechanics, men of every profession
and calling and condition, all joined
in this tribute to the Book of Books,
the inspiration of the world. A
stalwart man with long white beard
kept step with a man on crutches,
and the faltering pace of years was
helped on the march by the buoy
ancy of youth.
What did it mean? Well, among
other things that the Bible has not
lost it's place in this community;
that it is still effective in teaching
men how to think and live. There
has been much talk against teach
ing, or even reading, the Holy
Scriptures in the schools and efforts
are constantly made to smother
this Book; but it is to-day, as in
the time of Moses, unto the sons of
men "a fame of fire out of the
midst of BUSH" Water will not
put it out, proclamations do not
disturb it; persecution has only |
sharpened the edge of it's command
ments. We say that it must not
be taught in the schools, that it
must not even be read in the
schools. There is no brake put up
on the study of the religions of the
ancients, no one says that this wis
dom of Confucius must be kept out
of the curriculum; the only restric-
ton is placed upon the reading and
study of the Bible, the masterpiece
of all literature. But the Bible still
lives. Six thousand men in Rich
mond testified yesterday to their
faith in its precepts, their belief
that it is of Divine origin, and their
determination to keep the fires
burning upon this altar of the
worlds opes.-Richmond Times
