Efficiency Increased,
Waite Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union. the Anglo-Amer-
ican and the Direct U. s. companies
will bring the eight cables Of the three
companies under one operating con-
troll. The consequent increase in
effectiveness and economy will place
the Western Union in a position to
offer certain advantages In cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open to enable
the Western Union to make such i'm
provements and introduce such new
services a. it proposes to do, would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to DO the height of folly.
Duplication Of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities AZ coat Of
many millions, when there are more
than ample facilities for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and would probably postpone
tho reduction Of rates or introduction
of new services

WAR ON THE ROAD SIGNS.
rAf Paul Dhsnatch


The recent New York legislature
passed law for the elimination of the
dishgunng signs on public highways
that might well be copied in other
states. Tho new law permits the de-
struction "by any one" OF such signs
and advertisements within the limits
OF public highway" The law also
makes It misdemeanor to paint or
erect any commercial Sign on private
property without the written consent
authorised to destroy such signs on
private property.
The New York members OF the Auto
mobile Club Of America have organized
a statewide campaign to rid the high
members are to make 1t special order
of business to destroy all signs that
are not placed along the highways in
compliance with the permit provisions
Of the law. The campaign should meet
with wide success. Fences. rocks and
trees In highways. for advertising on
which no permission has been con-
sidered necessary, have been the chief
refuge Of the wandering advertiser.
No law regulating such signs can
reach the OWnST VI private ptOPCAeS
who may derive revenue from leasing
privileges to owners OF billboards and
to advertisers who wish to use space
on the sides and roofs Of barns and
granaries. but the New York law does
furnish the means Of suppressins all
advertising that is not paid for and
placed under terms of written agree
ment. The wayside barn or fence or
rock is not sought by the advertising
painter because It IL q valuable medium
but because II is cheap. Commonly 1t
costs nothing and the craze tor such
signs Is stimulated because the owner
of the barn imagines he is getting
something for nothing. by having his
barn painted. even II the painting does
carry a huge advertisement that is
blot on the landscape. Compelling
payment for all such space will do
much toward reducing the nuisance.
The New York law also protects tho
property owner from trespass more
effectively than merely to tear down.
and burn the offending sign. He can
prosecute the man who put It up under
the new statute.

Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements Il ID
essential not only that there be n MI
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated interchangeably with each
other and In close physical connec.
ton with land hines AZ one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
to provide aGainst the very frequent
cahes interruptions.
Nsither the Western Union. nor any
one Of the companies Of the Western
Union group has, independently Of the
others. facilities enough 70 handle
the business which At times any one
company might be called upon TO take
care of, because Of some particular
rush of business, or because Of some
cable interruption. Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service, al
though the combined facilities Of
these companies arc ample If they
could be used supplementary to each
other and interchange ably.
Az II 10, each company operates ito
own cables through separate and dis
tinct Offices and under separate and
distinct management. All interchange
Of business is by actual transfer Of the
business from one company to the
other, with the consequent delay and
interruption of . service In which
seconds are valu able.

Mike Steftey is Dead.

Mike Steffey, known throughout Vir-
ginia as "The Banner Man," is dead.
Death claimed that popular writer of
humor at 7:30 o'clock last Friday morn
ing, he having succumbed to an attack
of pneumonia.
Mr. Steffey was editor and publisher
of the Rural Retreat Times, in Wythe
county, VS.. He made a reputation
throughout Virginia through his humor-
Gus sketches, under the nom de plume,
''The Banner Man" Because of the
sunshine and good cheer which he dis
tributed through his writings, he was
greatly beloved by the people of South
west Virginia
Mike Steffey loved to write of the
mountains and valleys and streams and
woods, but more of the people whom he
knew and understood. Probably little
of his many writings for his own and
other papers has been preserved, yet it
would make volumes of far greater pre-
tensions to fame than many an effort
which has proved good seller.
Mr.. Steffey was 40 years of age, and
had been editor and publisher of the
Rural Retreat Times for several years.
He married Miss Luck Willard, and she
survives him, no children having been
born to them.

Better Farming SpeCIaI.

Prof. E. A. Schubart in his introduc-
tory remarks with the Better Farming
Special here on last Tuesday, stated
that 1T was simply business PROPOSE
ton with the Norfolk and Western
Railroad to run the train, as they ex-
pected to be repaid by more traffic from
better crops, but, just the same, the
company is entitled to a considerable
share of praise for its enterprise in an
effort to cooperate with the State De-
partment of Agriculture to improve
agricultural conditions in the State by
running this special train Many a
farmer was heard to remark that they
had acquired some valuable ideas as to
crop and soil conditions on bv their visit
to the special on last Tuesday.
The special came in Monday evening
and the lectures started at 9 o'clock on
Tuesday morning. There was a very
large crowd present, considering the
weather conditions, and the three
coaches fitted for the lectures were
comfortably filed all the time One
pleasing feature was a delegation Of
High School pupils, under Prof. w. w.
Carson, who filled one coach. and will
no DOUBT, be the means of dissemins
ting many of the valuable ideas to
which the speakers gave uttefance.
The speakers. besides Prof. Schubart.
were DR.. A. w. Freeman, assistant
health commissioner of the State: SEN
ator J. J. Owen, of Prince Edward
county, and also connected with the
Farmers Institute Work of the State
Department of Agriculture; J. F. Cor
don, farmer from Ohio, VINO spoke on
potato growing. and two practical
farmers from West Virginia, II l.
Smith, who spoke on fruit growing, and
w. ID. linn, whose subject was soil i'm
provement and alfalfa. All of the lect-
ures were of much interest, but especial
mention should be made of that of DIR.
Freeman on Farms Sanitary Condi-
ton. Every farmer or small town
dweller should have heard this lecture.
ln connection with the work of the
State Department of Agriculture there
are many farmers who do not know
that the State department issues a
monthly bulletin that may be had with
out cost by any one writing to be placed
on their mailing list The Department
of Health also issues a health bulletin,
and any one who wishes to keep posted
on health or farm affairs should send
their names to either of these depart
ments for the bulletin.
c. c. Scarf, of the DUPONT Powder
Company, was with the special but no
demonstration of the use of dynamite
on the farm was made at this time. as
an all day demonstration will be held
here soon.
Agricultural Commissioner 6. w.
kolner was to have joined the special
at this point, but failed to show up on
train No 5.
