LIVES SAVED BY TELEPHONE.
One Man Drank Poison, and Another
Severed Four Arteries.

Within the last several days two lives
have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. ]. w. Lentz, of Orders, Breth-
rem minister, took poison by mistake tor
his medicine. No physician being here,
his family got instruction from a distant
physician. AntidoteS were administered
and his life was saved.
William Mlonich, in Pendleton county,
tried to cut bullet from the breach of a
gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
of bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, al
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave instruc-
tons over the phone. Another life was
saved. Mr.. Mfonich is 76 years old.
So daily are valuable lives preserved
and saved by the use OF the Jefferson
County Telephone.
Is your wife's life valuable to you ?
Do you want TO preserve your children's
lives ? Is your own life valuable to your
self or family2

phone. II is a MONEY maker. Ask

BOYS AND GIRLS CORN
CONTEST
Organized BY College of Agriculture
of West Virginia.

1t should be of general interest to
all the people of the state to know
that nearly 1000 boys and girls have
been growing corn to exhibit in the
county and state corn shows OF West
Virginia this fall, and to compete Tor
the valuable prizes so generously Of
fered for the winning exhibit. Four
teen counties of the state are organ
lied for these corn shows. In each
county there is a committee to solicit
prizes, organize the boys and girls,
and make all necessary arrangements.
In most instances the county superin-
tendent of schools has acted as leader
in the county and secretary OF the
local committee.
The College of Agriculture furnish
ed the seed last spring to each boy
or girl who entered the contest and
gave full and explicit directions for
the preparation of the ground and the
planting and cultivating Of the corn.
Enough seed to plant one-twentieth OF
an acre was sent direct to each con-
testant. From this plot the best ten
ears and best single ears are to be
selected for the county show, to be
held at some central point In the
county this fall.

one day of the wonderful cures made
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and decided to try it,
and it has made me well woman.
NV neighbors and friends declare it
had worked a miracle for me. Lydia

ResuIt of the Vote.

The transcontinental limited was speed
ing through the wilds OF Utah. Two
scholarly-looking gents near the front
door of the chair car were engaged in a
discussion on the subject OF psychology,
philosophy and kindred vices. The con-
versation grew so animated that the at
tention of other passengers was attracted.
And suddenly one of the quarrelsome
scientists arose and said:
"Fellow-paSsengers, must appeal to
you to settle dispute. My friend insists
that not more than three persons out OF
five believe in life after death. | claim
that much larger percentage OF humani-
ty believes in personal mortality. VIII
all those who believe that they have i'm
mortal souls please raise both hands.
Every hand in the car went up.
at is unanimous p cried the speaker,
in a voice of triumph. "Now, please
keep your hands right where they are

collects watches and purses. have you

Restoring A Lost Empire.

The possible realization OF the prolect
for reopening the old empire OF Neon-
cfadnezzar to civilization, aproiect which
only Yesterday was dream, is fore
Swallowed by the efforts of the Turkish
government TO reclaim l2,500,0O0 acres
of waste land in Northern Mesopotamia
through irrigation. Given the success OF
the experiment, the ancient realm OF As
syrian and Babylonian monarchs may be
refertilized and repeopled with an in
dustrious race and the worlds old gram
ary restored after centuries OF desolation.
Mesopotamia's early greatness was
due to system OF irrigation canals in
connection with the Tigris and Euphrates.
II was by their neglect that it declined
and was transformed into sandy plain,
the haunt of nomad races. Within recent
times the engineer and the archeologist
have invaded it, the former plotting the
route of the Bagdad railway which is to
unite il with the western world, and the
latter delviug in the dust heaps which
have disclosed in turn the site OF Neou-
chadnezzar's palace, the hall in when
Belshazzar gave his feast and the very
site OF Babel. To reclaim it to cultiva-
ton will cost s2OO,OOO,OOO and inciden-
tai TO the scheme is the plan for coloniz-
ing the prosecuted Russian Jews in the
redeemed territory.
Certainly to recreate the old empire, to
plant there a frugal people and to make 1t
again vast granary would be notable
triumph OF peace.

valuable results have been shown over

real schools for agricultural educa-

Gilbaugh Twigg, formerly OF New
York, now of Fauquier county, Va, has
plans under way for planting what will
probably be the largest orchard in the
United States, and he expects ultimately
to plant one hundred and twenty thouS-
and apple trees on three thousand acres.
Mr.. Twigg recently purchased the estate
known as Leigh Manor" which con-
tains about 1000 acres. He will plant
thirty thousand apple trees this fall and
twenty thousand peach trees, and will
later plant the balance of the three thouS-
and acres, making in all one hundred and
twenty thousand fruit trees. Mr.. Twigg
will reserve one thousand acres to raise
Arabian horses, and he has some fine an
imals OF this variety at the present time.
