meet with and to be mixed with the
imported ore and made into things for
the worlds markets. Let's try to get
u. Coleman DUPONT, Of Delaware. in
tercstcd in the building OF IL great
highway from Washington to Old Point
after the fashion of tho one he built
In Delaware. and maybe we could get
him interested In extending that Della
ware road OF his down the Eastern
Shore to Cape Charles. Maybe It is
possible to get Uncle Sam interested IN
this kind of work. Uncle sam ought al
80 TO have railway line direct from the
capital of the nation to Old Point for
the quick movement OF troops and for
other purposes. Sooner or later Uncle
Sam will have to manufacture his own
armor plato. Why should he not have
his big iron works somewhere close
about Old Point and then we want the
big naval station on Hampton Roads.
Are these visionary suggestions? Pos
sibly so. but we don't know what we
can do until we make a trial. That
Is true. Let's try anyhow, and from
all points.

We have established four hog farms

the advantage OF using improved ma
