COUNTY DISPLAYS
CATCH ALL EYES
King Corn Still Stands Supreme,
With Apples Near Same
Throne.

Corn is king in the county exhibitions
at the State Fair. Thirty-two counties
have displays in the county building.
which is a veritable museum OF Virginia
agricultural resources. There is a not
able uniformity in the various exhibi-
lions. almost all of the counties dis
playing products also exhibited by tho
others. In all OF them corn and apples
are given the most prominence. with
grains and grasses running close be-
hind.
The great corn Improvement OF the
past few years impaired by the corn
propaganda of the Department OF Agri
culture is at once apparent from an
inspection of the improved product eX-
hibited in profusion by the counties.
The ears are larger. hrmer and heav

of scientific selection by their increase
In size and improved quality. One

reports that he has raised 1431s bush
land. This, says Mr.. Sandy. is the larg-
est yield yet reported.
Hard to Name Rest.
Asked TO name the counties which
have the best exhibits at the fair. Mr..
Sandy replied that they were all of
such uniform excellence that he would
not dare to name any one county as
having better show than the others.
a hasty inspection OF the exhibits con-
firmed MIR. Sandy's statement. With no
intention of leaving the impression
that the counties which have been
omitted for lack OF space are at all in
ferior. running inspection of the
booths revealed several exhibits of spe-
cial prominence.
Prince Edward has an artistic dis
play, exhibiting its corn and hay in
dustry. as well as its crop rotation.
Roanoke has specialized in vegetables
and staple crops. Gloucester has some
giant watermelons. several of the mon
sters weighing more than 100 pounds.
Loudoun county has the best display
of apples, showing many varieties, in
Guiding the Red American Beauties,
Grimes Golden. Winesaps. Yorks, Im4
nerials, Rome Beauties and Ben Davis.
1t has also an especially good exhibit
of corn.

The greatest single display Of an-

this year. and give evidence of bump

County System Original.
In speaking OF the county building
In general. n visitor from Washington,
who has attended a number OF the large
Western fairs said yesterday that the
system OF exhibiting by counties adopt
ed this year for the first time by tho
virginia State Fair Is the only thing
OF It's kind In his experience. and that
the display of corn and apples we're the
hnest he has seen in years. The coun-
" system is original with the Virginia
air. and is an admirable device for
creating rivalry and competition among
tho growers of the State
One Of the most remarkable exhibits
In the county building is that OF the
virginia Girls Canning and Poultry
Clubs. part of the farmers co-opera-
tive demonstration work, undertaken
less than year ago by the Department
OF agriculture in Washington. The
state work Is In charge OF Miss T.. q
Agnes who goes from farm to farm,
giving instruction to the girls. At
present only the counties OF Amelia
Cumberland and Halifax are being ex-
perimented with, and the exhibition at
.he lalr TINS year attests to the use
tuiness of the work. More than 5000
cans OF tomatoes are on display. all
OF. them canned and prepared by girls
under eighteen years of age In addi-
tion to these are hundreds of cans and
Jars containing every fruit, veg .tahle
ana berry native to Virginia, all of
them canned and preserved in the most
tempting style.

News comes from headquarters OF
the Philippines Division that the hel.
met which was adopted few years
ago for the use Of troops serving in
the islands Is 10 be discarded. The old
campaign hat, with a few slight nodi-
hcations goes back into service, much
to the pleasure Of the greater number
of men. According to reports made BY
medical authorities Of the army, who
were appointed to investigate the mat
ter, the helmet did not perform the
duties for which il was designed, name
ly-the keeping out Of the heat. Neither
in appearance nor comfort does it meet
the requirements of the old campaign
er. The new hat is being tried out at
one of the island posts and should it
prove satisfactory there 1t will be
adopted by the entire army serving in
the islands.

dSck, commanding.
Mr.. Swartz is the first man to rep
resent the Y. nj. G. A. on ship of
the Asiatic fleet, and will follow the
plan of work inaugurated by Reeder on
/ the Nebraska, and Cooley on the Della
ware of the Atlantic fleet.
More for Persia.
Treasurer General w. Morgan Shus-
ter, of Persia, still continues to pick
men for responsible positions under him
in the administration of affairs in that
country from his former aquaintances
and subordinates in Manila, four now
being on the way to Teheran from the
Philippines,
Captain JOHN F. Green, assistant
chief of police in Manila for nearly a
decade, has been chosen to organize
the secret service Of Persia, and 9th
/ ers who are to go in various capacities
are Messrs. Turin Boone, Patrick Fitz-
simmons and William o'Donovan.
Dogs for Antarctic.
Lieutenant Shirase who is in charge
of the japanese antarctic expedition
which had to put back to Sydney last
year, is making another attempt to
reach the south pole, and is taking dogs
to assist
/ Early in November twenty-nine pick
ed Saghahen dogs passed through Ma
Mia on the Humane Maru en- route to
Australia where they will be taken on
board the japanese boat for the ant

Business Brisk.
Business in Manila is brisk at this
time and the balance of trade is in
favor of the islands, according to fig
ures made public by the collector of
customs.
E. M. Bachrach, former furniture
dealer and now in the automobile bust
ness, being the pioneer American to
bring cars to the Philippines, passed
through Honolulu on the Siberia yes
terday and said that daring the last
| year he had sold six hundred cars of
various makes.
He brought the Ford to Manila and
followed with the Buick and other cars,
handling one or two foreign cars be-
sides the American ones. There are
now eighty makes of cars owned in
the Leal City the Silent Knight engine

machines handled by the Estrella Auto
Palace, a French company which deals
almost exclusively in foreign cars.

PENSIONING A CONVICTED
 DESERTER.

Transforming deserters, Mir. W. B. Hale explains in the March World s Work, is accomplished by the simple process of having Congress pass an Act ''to correct the military record of the deserter. For example:
 On the twenty-third day of March 1910, there took its place on the stat ute-books of the United States law according to which it was enacted Sentatives of the United States of Am erica in Congress assembled" ."---
 That in the administration of the pension laws John Oates shall hereaf- fer be held and considered to have been honorably discharged from the military service of the United States as a private of Company "D.' - Fourteenth Regiment, United States Infantry, on the twenty-first day of September, eighteen hundred and six ty-four. ' Se
 The fact is that on the twenty first day of September 1864, John Oates, private in Company "D," Four teenth Regiment, United States In- fantry, was not honorably discharg- ed from the military service of the United States, but was received at the headquarters of his regiment from confinement on the Dry Tortugas, where, indelibly marked on the left hip with a letter D one inch and a half long. and wearing twenty five pound ball attached by 8 chain to his left leg, he had served for a year and a half the sentence of a deserter; on with the further sentence of the courtmartial which had convicted him, his head was shaved and he was drummed out of camp.

A NATION SPENDING
 HALF ITS MONEY FOR WAR.

MT. H. L.. Clotworthy, a military student, points out that between 1789 and 1909, exclusive of loans, the to- tai income of the Government has been S21, ,401.539,121 The expendi- lures for wars and pensions during the same period aggregate $10,S54, S5O,565, showing that more than half of our total governmental revenues save been expended in wars and con- sequent pensions.
 The total cost of the worlds arma- ment for 1910 was S1,551, ,00O, ,000. This, he goes on to say in his article "The United States Army in the March Worlds Work. is being carried by the combined civilized powers. In pensions alone, resultant from but a single war, this Government is paying a fixed interest rate of 10 per cent. every year on the total cost of world armament, with every prospect of the amount being increased. In other words, while the average American citizen ploints wisely to the fact that .'eVery German peasant is carrying a soldier on his back as an arraign- ment of military burdens of Europe, he is complacently carrying an old soldier or two himself, the chief diff ference being that the soldier which the German is carrying is prepared to fight while the soldier the American is carrying did his fighting fifty years ago. The German Army entered the Franco-PruSsian war prepared and the war lasted four months. The United States entered the Civil War unprepared and the war lasted four years.
