The Durbccued pig,

barbecucd pig was the leading item,
and they do say that down In that

whom the neN county was named, was
the originator of the barbecued pig.

fact is that the barbecued pig came

The labor problem is one that Nir-
ginia, us Well as all of the South, is
now Intensely interested in. The

would give him preference. but the
fact is apparent that the development
within the last few years Is such tina
We cannot depend OH the negro. He
Is little too slow. and little too in
different in the matter of keeping a

southern development has reached
mat stage that railway builders ana
town builders and coal mine develop
crs and iron mine workers and other
developers of the natural resources
OF the South must, as matter. OF busi
ness, find n labor that can be relied
upon day in and LAYOUT. Therefore il
becomes necessary to make more of a
Study of the labor problem than we
have been in the habit of dsing In the
years gone BY. The Industrial Sec

articles on the labor. situation, espe-
cially. prepared for these columns. Ii
is well enough for us TO know some

For many years past the custom has

matter of fact. the sales of loose
leaf tobacco in all of the markets were
much smaller the past week than they
were for the corresponding week of
the last year. The explanation is
easy enough. The farmers are not so
much in need OF the ready cash as
they used to be. and that is mighty
good sign Of the times

The other day while two small boys

mass of steel and he at once called up

he found another wheel. Down near the

AT GRAND.
Ferguson Bros. Open Air Dome at
Lawrence May %.

The Ferguson Bros, the versatile
actors who have been with the North
Bros. stock company for about eleven
years, will open at the Lawrence Air
Dome, Saturday, May 81, with COM
pany of their own. The company has
been organized and is rehearsing at
the Grand this week. There, with
back ground of stage bare with the ex-
ception of a few chairs, may be seen
a few people dressed in ordinary cos
tune and often words such as these
are heard:
st love you, All, in spite of difference
of rank, love you" TRY that scene
over again"
Judging from the reheareals, the Fer
guson company which will make air
dome circuits through Kansas, Ne
br7ska and Oklahoma under the man
q gement of Albert Ferguson and Ed
ward Ferguson, is much above the or
dina~y air dome company. This idea
will also be received from the mem
bers of the aggregation.
For instance the Fergusons them
selves will take parts, also do special
ties between acts. Jack Connolly, who
was stage director for North Bros,
when the stock company opened here
two years ago, will be the stage boss
for the air dome people. The leading
lady will be Miss Kathryn Van Esse OF
Chicago. She will be remembered by
Topeka people for her clever rendering

All Paris Turns Out to Honor the
Dead Statesman.

Paris, May 26.-The funeral of
Henri Maurice Berteaux, the French
minister of war, who lost his life in
the aeroplane accident that marred the
opening of the Paris to Madrid avia-
ton race on Sunday, was made the
occasion of an impressive national
demonstration here today. All the
active officials of the country, includ-
ing both t, e civil and military branch
es of the government, were repre-
sented as were all the foreign govern
ments which either sent special ENJOYS
or commissioned committees in that
capacity.
Public schools were closed and all
Paris appeared to be gathered along
the route of the procession. Eulogies
of the dead statesman were pro-
nounced at the ministry of war by
Antoine Perrier, the minister of justice
who represented the cabinet; A. Du-
bost, president of the senate; Henri
Brisson, president chamber of depu-
ties, who spoke in behalf of parlia-
ment, and General Miachel for the
army.
General Francois Goiran today ac-
cepted the portfolio of the ministry of
war in succession to M. Berteaux.
