4 Water Supply in Every Farm Home.

y water supply and bath room in
every farm home would revolution
ize farm life and in many localities
would not be serious problem at
at all. In some instances it would
mean only the cost of iron piping from
the spring to the house. the spring not
in a few instances being at height
above the house. In other instances
the water may he carried up the hill
from the spring by the use of
ram" which need not cost eXtrava-
gantly nor is it difficult to install
y certain superintendent of cot
ton mill purchased the use of a
spring from a farmer i'm the neigh
borhood and at a cost of $l4 for the
ram had flow of water sufficient
to supply the homes of the mill viii
lage There is a tragedy in this in
cident and it lies in the fact that the
farmers wife had carried water from
this spring up 50-foot embankment
throughout her married life for %
years.
| know of a farmer who installed
ram" to supply his home at a
cost of SIS.
Where there is not a supply of
water of this kind. there are force
pumps, windmiiis, gasoline engines.
know of one farmer who with an
attachment to the pump used mule
strength for power and filled a tank
in the attic for the daily supply of
water to the house. This method
cost practically nothing in outlay
and about ten minutes day in time.

Mr.. winslow was cordially received

Mr.. Winslow was cordially received
There are in the country Al OFT ru-
| raj carriers, the speaker said, these
covering Al, GS3 routes and travelling
each day a total distance of 200, 900
miles. No one is better qualified than
the rural carrier to appreciate the
condition of the roads. The carrier
is not supposed to leave his vehicle in
collecting and delivering mail. nor is
he required to open and close gates;
yet on many routes in this State the
ca rriers could not perform their Of
fetal functions at all without violat-
ing the regulations IN both these re-
spects. On many such routes. fur
ther, the carrier loses trips i'm times
of bad weather and high water. be-
cause the roads and the bridges are
insufficient
Not always will the postonice de-
partment tolerate such state of af-
fairs, Mr., Winslow declared. AS an
authorized official of a service closely
affiliated with that of rural delivery.
the speaker gave warning that it is
the fixed policy of the government to
increase the rural delivery service in
sections which provide good roads
and to decrease the service where
good highways are not furnished. AL

of representative roads, fords and
bridges wherever he has gone, and
since this summer he has already
visited So counties, he now has a
fairly complete pictorial description
When these pictures are transmitted
to Washington some positive action
on the part of the government may be
expected.
Another factor that must be reck
oned with is that the government is
now experimenting with the automo-
bile for the rural delivery service,
and you can not use a morton car to
advantage on bad road. The carr- |
ers, too, are demanding higher pay.
They will eventually set it. for now
they get, on an average, only $il.50
per month and must provide their

JUDGE BREWER DEAD.

Justice David J. Brewer who died
suddenly at his home in Washington
on Monday night last, was one OF the
ablest msn who hts ever adorned the
Supreme bench. He had grasp OF
great questions which placed him in
the front rank of the judiciary. He
saw the constitution as it was intend
ed to be seen by its trainers, and gave
to it breadth of construction and in
depreciation which it must enjoy if
this country is to be preserved as Re
public His views on some subjects
have not been in cOnSOnance with
what might be termed the corporate in
terests. There seemed to be desire a
few years ago to change the constitu-
ton by judicial construction, that in
strument being considered by some
advanced thinkers as Anticipated and
unsuited to the times. 1t was init
mated that Mr.. Roosevelt had request
ed the retirement of Justice Brewer
among others, that he might put
younger judges on that bench who
were known to be in favor of constru-
ing away certain troublesome clauses
in the constitution. But Judge Brew
er declined to resign or retire, he block
ed such game if there existed such and
has given to the country much of his
wisdom since then, and made it strong
er. 1t is to be hoped no man will be
found to pull down that which he has
builded

lions which has taken place in the Vir-
ginia-Kentucky fields recently was an
nonnced yesterday. The deal called for
the expenditure of $3,OO0,0OO, which
was made by the Berwind White peo-
pie, for 100000 acres OF coal lands in
Kentucky, on Peters Creek, between
the waters of the Tug Fork and the LIE
visa Fork of the Big Sandy, near the
West Virginia and Virginia lines. The
price paid per acre was $50. The deal
was carried through by John Mayo

were interested in the sale of the land,
which they have held for number of
years.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, ID. G., March 26.-The
political situation as viewed from the
standpoint of the national capital, is
much more interesting to both parties
than legislation and executive matters
just now. The election of Mr.. Foss as
a Democrat to Congress in Massachu-
sets this week by a plurality of $3.50
in district which elected Republican
in 1908 by plurality of 1900, is re-
garded here and throughout the coun-
try as most significant indication as
to popular feeling. OF course, political
figures are hard at work and will show
plausibly special causes for this remark
able political change. But crediting

Hicks April Forecast.

A regular storm period extends from
the I'd to the 9Th. 1t will come in by
rising temperature, falling barometer
and growing cloudiness over western
sections, attended by rain, hail and
forceful winds.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the Sth, 9th and 10th. The indica-
tiOns are that very unsettled and
threatening weather will continue
from the preceding period, and that
renewed storms, with low barometer,
high temperature, thunder and wind,
will prevail generally ON and touching
| those dates.
A regular storm period extending
from the Nth to the 10Th, central on
the 10Th. This period will bring low
barometer and return of energetic
storms on and near the 18th, 10Th, 18th
and 18th. The Mars influence will
disappear after the middle of April,
and warmer, settled springlike wealth
er may be expected. Very cool nights
will be natural from the 18th to Goth,
with frost to the northward.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 21st, 22d and 23d. On and
touching the 22d the temperature will
rise suddenly to very warm, the ba-
rometer will fall rapidly and storms OF
thunder, rain, hail and wind will
touch many places in their quick tran.

CALL FUR A RECOUNT.

Editor Richmond Evening Journal.
In your issue of March 23d you quote
from the Staunton "Spectator" the ex.
animation of dollar bill in which the
examiner found $4,000 900 microbes.
Do YOU believe it? l don't. If there
were $4,000, 900 on one, there must, of
necessity, be ten times as many on a
ten spot. Why. my dear Mr.. Editor,
there is scarcely room enough on one
dollar note for those disease breeders
to get acquainted, and in order to be
effective it seems to be that there
should be some understanding between
them as to what disease they may be
the cause, manner, means or lnstru-
ment of producing. There are not dis
eases enough known to medical science
for these fellows to get up.
/ see no reason, in the law of nature,
but 1 may snap at him. How subject
old men are to the vice of lying! 1t is
positively scandalous. Think of man
holding microscope before his eye for
over 800 days ! He would be 'sobliged''
to skip some. How the little varmints
can stick on so long puzzles me |
call for recount.
RETTERG.
Now there's person suited for the
night school or for the colony of feeble
minded. Some night, after deep and
careful study, he may learn that he is
a very small microbe sticking to very
few one dollar bills, and when he does
he will be far wiser than he is now
and may write something real clever
and funny. We await that time with
hope.

CONGRESS- AND THE PRIMARY

The primary election for Congress in
this district has been called. 1t will
be held on the 9th day of August Hon.
H. ID. Flood will be in the race and
may possibly be opposed. There was
some talk of Hon. A. f. Strobe, now
State Senator from Amherst county,
shying his castor into the ring. AT
present Mr.. Strobe has not fully made
up his mind. He thought he saw an
open way to seat there when he first
adopted the cause of the Anti-Saloon
League and began preaching State
wide prohibition, and became the cats
paw of Mr.. James Cannon, Jr., j. D.
McAllister, and other ex-preachers,
who were pressing their political de-
signs on the State. The hypocracy of
that movement was so apparent to the
majority of the members of the Legis-
lature that the "Enabling Act" as it
was generously termed by those past
masters in the fakir's art, was badly
showed under, and down with it went
Mr.. Strobe. 1t is doubtful if he will
now rise to the surface in time to get
his lungs cleared for the primary fray,
or cut great deal eff ice in the election,
Notwithstanding he is well known to
be the most frigid proposition this side
the polar sea.
The recent announcement of the
Anti-Saloon League, that its purpose
now is to 20 SQUARE into politics, and
SEIZE the Legislature, and FORCE
State wide, has in no sense strength
ened the political supports, aspirations
or chances of success of Mr.. Strobe.
Certainly it has not done so in Staun-
ton or Augusta.
