Spaghetti
Better Than in Rome

The chefs of Italy are famed the
world over for delicious blend which
they make with spaghetti.
Many a traveller has wished he could
find an equal dish in America.
Now America has it--a better spa
ghetti than ever was served in Rome.
Our chefs spent two years in perfect
ing the recipe. There are II ingre-
dents used in it, each the best of its
kind.
The wonder lies in the harmony of
taste-in the unmatched flavor. Mo-
where in the world do they serve better
spaghetti than you can now serve on
your table.
We use to make fits
Durum wheat spaghetti.
Herkimer County full cream cheese.
Best creamery butter.
The same superlative tomato sauce
we use in Van Camps Pork & Beans.
The dish comes ready-coolsed. You
have simply to heat it.
The product is new but the demand
is phenomenal. We have never made
anything which 80 many people seemed
to like SO well.
You'll like it, too. You'll be glad that
we make it.
And it costs you less than to make IL
yourself if you had the recipe.
Order few cans now.

NOTED INVENTOR PAYS
STAUNTON A VISIT
FORTUNE FROM AN IDEA
With Simple Contrivance, Which
He Originated, He Revolution
lied Que of Largest Industries

One of the most distinguished
chemists of this country, Professor
c. H. Herty, of Chapel Hill, N. c.,
was in Staunton on Sunday with
his wife and two sons. Professor
Herty arrived in his car Saturday
night. He and his family made
the trip from Chapel Hill in his ma
chine and were forced to stop over
here for Sunday while some repairs
we're made on the car.
They will continue to Maryland
where Professor Herty will leave his
family at one of the resorts OF that
state while he goes to Indianapolis
to attend the annual convention OF
the American Chemical Society, OF
which, he is distinguished mem
Der. In July they sail for Europe
and will tour through England
Scotland and Wales.
Professor Herty is one of the few
scientific men, connected witt
American universities, who have
made a fortune out of their inven
tions. Where ever the turpentine in
dustry exists his name is household
word. Nearly every tree in th
South bearing turpentine pays him it
annual tribute. 1t was his brain
that revolutionized the business an
brought him into international pro
minence.
For years the men engaged in tn
turpentine industry had been wont t
cut deep holes into the trees in tn
process of extracting the gum fro1
which the turpentine is made. Thi
resulted in great damage to tn
trees, shortening their lives and COZ
seuuently their value as source
revenue.
About ten years ago Professe
Herty, who was then member
the faculty of the University of Geo
gia, became greatly interested
the subject and quietly began Sc
les of experiments in Georgia on h
own initiative. He conceived tt
idea of employing the cup system

WAYNESbORO CLUB TO

Young Men Organize to Strenu-

Waynesboro, Va, June ia
Young Mems Democratic League,
composed of some of the most promi-

has been organized to oppose the re-
election of Senator Martin. The
membership is composed of young
men of democratic tendencies between
the ages of 1S and "a who are op-
posed to machine" politics.
Frank White, as temporary presl-
dent, and John w. Smith, Jr., as
temporary secretary, announce that
their organization is being perfect
ed, and their membership strengthen
ed. The purpose of the League as
announced is anything but modest:
''To wrest the control of the party
organization from machine politi-
clans.
'"To use every possible influence
to defeat each and every candidate
for each and every office who is a
machlne pOlltlc1an.
"To carry on a campaign of edu-
cation among the voters as to the
tariff. the trust and other questions.
"To encourage young men to en-
ter politics.
Young Smith states that the most
encouraging feature of the organl-
cation so far is the fact that al
most every young man approached
enthusiastically responds.

men will wake up before many

pact, vigorous organization ready
to meet them in the thickest o1
the fight. To roll up a major

which we reach. 1t is very true
that some of us have not yet the

Martin or Jones will be seated in th'
United States senate representing us

ed out of two small galvanized iron
pipes that are bent around the tree
almost at right angles and coming
to V point Below this is suspend
ed a metal or clay cup. The tree is
then scarified in the usual manner,
the cut being about half inch deep.
The old way was to cut a whole
seven inches deep. Into this incision
the pipes are fitted and the gum is
drained into the cup. The gum
coming from the outer sap wood the
