Ground has been broken for three house,

the work will be pushed so that these
homes can be finished and occupied be-

This method OF home building has
brought the ownership of an attractive

The Virginia Highlands method Is

Immediately upon reaching Locust Point
an alarm was sounded from the box ad-
Joining the landing. and in less than a
minute nearly 100 men, consisting of en-
ployes of the yard, had twelve streams
OF hose playing on an imaginary blaze.
After the efficiency OF the streams had
been tested, an alarm was sounded from
Pier 8. This is the North German LLOYD
pier. and the men did not know whether
it was a real fire or a part OF the test
and they lost no time in cutting OF the
water from the pipes which they had
been manning and running 10 the scene

DEFENDS FEDERAL
TRAFFIC STATUTES
Secretary Wilson Says They
Are Salutary.
HISTORY OF THE LEGISLATION
Declares Regulation of Stock and
Bond Issues Is Necessary-ThinIxs
Government Supervision Would
sAdd 10 Their stability as InVest-
ments-Cites National Banks.

In his address before the Conservation
Congress in ST. Paul Secretary Wilson
of the Department Of Agriculture, entered
into a defense of legislation for the
governmental supervision of railroads
and said in part:
For quarter OF century both the
Federal and the State governments have
been agitating the regulation OF intra-
state and Interstate commerce. This has
been resisted by the people interested in
transportation
! have had a wide acquaintance with
attempted legislation and accomplished
legislation along this line. and can say
that have never detected a disposition
on the part OF the representatives Of the
people in either State or national legis-
latures TO injure the interests OF the
carriers.
The discussion began many years ago
at a time when the railroad people relied
upon the Dartmouth College decision as
their bulwark against meddling by either
Federal or State government Advanced
steps have been taken in both State and
Federal governments along these lines
What is known as the Hepburn bill took
an advanced stand. did some things the
people wanted done. and remedied some
evils that needed a remedy.
Last LAW Goes Further.
The bill passed by the present Con.
gress goes further than the lawmaker
has ever gone before. and, singuIarly,
most Of the carriers recognize at this
late day the wisdom and necessity Of
legislation that shall assure shippers
fair play without injury 70 the carriers.
An important feature OF railway leeis-
lation is still under consideration. That
Is. with regard 10 the issue OF stocks
and bonds By Interstate railways. This
is principle that has found its way into
the legislation Of several Of the States.
notably Massachusetts The Republican
platform called for legislation that would
prevent the over-issue Of stocks and
bonds by interstate carriers. There are
some strong reasons why this would he
beneficial 10 the people. Sqd also Of great
value TO the railroads. | can see great
benefit to the people at large and to the
carriers, were there Federal supervision
OF the issue Of stocks and bonds in inter
state commerce. For example. accumula-
lions Of money by farmers very rarely
find their way into investments Of that
kind.

There is probably no country in the
world where mushrooms are more highly
priced for food than in Saxony. The
government, in order 70 prevent any
likelihood of poisoning through imperfect
knowledge Of the various species OF
edible fungi. has directed that regular
systematic instruction be impaired
in the elementary schools to familiar
ize children thoroughly with mushrooms.

Farmers Fenr Stocks

The farmer is afraid 10 invest his
money in an enterprise OF which the
evidences Of Indebtedness might be in
creased within a week after he might
purchase some Of them. Anybody would
buy national bank stock. but little OF il
Is ever FOR sale. II is popular because
the Federal government supervises the
banks. Farmers could and would buy
railroad stocks If the Federal govern
ment supervised them. and the same thing
might be said with regard TO the evil
dences OF Indebtedness Of railroads whose
operations are confined within A state. If
the State should supervise the issues.
The people would have more confidence
IN the integrity OF the investments.
Within recent years We might have seen
remarkable evidences Of this. Farmers
naturally like 10 invest where the secur-
ity is undoubted. They have Seen buying
lands, and the high price Of farm lands
may be due 10 a considerable extent, 10
the desire for investments. Lands have
gone up rapidly within the past few
years because people wanted to invest
Note the heavy investments made in Ca
madam lands along our northern border
THE regulation Of the issue OF securi-
ties IS considered a radical step. but il is
no more radical for the Federal govern
ment TO inquire into. regulate and guard
the issue OF stocks and bonds for inter-
state commerce transportation than It is
for the States to do the same thing and
several of The States have statutes super
vising such issues. This has not found
its way into the Federal statutes, yet
provision has been made 10 inquire into
the facts along this line through a COM
mission appointed by the President. This
may be considered one of the prominent
directions which legislation IN regard TO
interstate commerce WIFI take in the
near future"

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
By Q. e. Browne. %. supt.

One Of DAWSON county's best farm
ers told me last week that "all he
had to do now was to take his chill
dren to school, and by reference to
the record Of attendance Of his boys
and girls we are led to conclude that
he is doing that we'll for the reports
from his school show them always
there. In some localities the attend
ance is the most regular Of the entire
year during the continued snow and
bad roads because the parents are
taking the children to school. In
others t he attendance has fallen OF
very much. In the one locality the
parent deems the education of his
child a part of his business. In the
other locality the parents has given
that business over to the state, think
ing that when he pays his school
taxes he has done his entire duty in
the matter. That same busy man
would not think of letting his hogs
or his cattle go a week without food
because "the road to the feed yard
was blockaded." See?
We are gratifed to note 80 of the
boys enrolled in our rural schools in
attendance upon the lectures at the
closing of the corn school. It begins
to look as though Dawson county
may have a Boys Corn Contest
this year. I would like every school
boy to enter Dawson county Contest
the coming year to write me. If you
