A good local newspaper is one of
the surest signs of progressive COM
munity and it is to every farmers in
terest to do what he can to make his
county paper good paper. 1t tells
him things which he should know and
which no other paper can tell him.
Often it will be the best advertising
medium he can use and if the editor
realizes that the farmers in his terri
tory are trying to help him make a
good paper, he is more than likely to
be willing on his part to do all he
can to advance the interest of the
rural sections. We realize that too
many local papers give practically all
their attention to the town and neg
lect the country districts, but we
wonder sometimes if this Is not al
most as much the farmers fault as
it is the papers. Get in touch with
your local paper. kSend in to it any
item of news you may have. Let the
editor know about any good farming
that is being done in your neighbor-
hood. Help him to see that the pros
perity of town is founded upon the
prosperity of the farming country
about it. In this way you can help

Capt. VIM. E. Peery, who lost an
arm at the battle of Boonsboro. Mr..
st. Clair relates laughable incident
which occurred in Rhappahanock
county. One day he left camp with a
sack of corn in search of a mill and
after riding for sometime he found an
isolated mill from which the miller
was absent. He put his "turn" i'm
the hopper together with what toll he
could find and lifted the gate, but
when the grinding was done he found
to his surprise that he could not shut
off the water. With his sack of meal
he mounted in hot haste and rode
back to camp. Whether the mill was
wrecked or the miller died of apo
plexy he has never learned. Mr.. St.
Clair was in the thick of the fighting

Walked $1,000 Miles for Water

The North Carolina Christian Adj
vocate tells the story of farmer
whose family had to carry water from
a spring about a quarter of a mile
away. His wife, after thirty years of
this work ventured to complain about
it and little figuring was the rueslt.
The farmer could scarcely believe it
when he found that his wife had
walked $4,000 miles carrying water
from this spring. As soon as he real
lied what his carelessness in this res.
pect meant he had we'll dug right
at the house. OF course, there will be
less walking for the good woman to
do to get water from the we'll, yet,
if the farmer had figured little
longer, he would doubtless have found
out that the time and labor spent in
pumping water from the well would
amount to enough TO make this a very
expensive way of getting water when
compared with a system of home
waterworks. The Progre ssive Farm

ing spared, to not only make this
summers session of the Normal the
most successful one we have ever

shown fine spirit, and have mani
tested unusual interest in our cause.

whom our bulletins have been sent,
would examine same very carefully.

institution of all these counties, to-
gether with that of Tazewell, as it is
of any one of them. and the continued
support and loyalty of the above
named counties to the scho oil will be
the surest means of its future success
and growth. May we not appeal to
your local pride and patriotism, and
rely upon you to assist us as never
before, In making the Virginia State
Summer Institute for Teachers, held
at Big Stone Gap, the best in every

largely attended and one of the most

reason why it cannot be even more SC

Normal. 1t is unsurpassed in beau

to communicate with any of the sur
vivors of the Twenty Ninth Virginia
Regiment, in which Capt. Leece
served, and that we cannot, therefore,
give more than meager outline of
his life as soldier He was First
Lieutenant in the company of Capt.
Beverly Fuller, of Russell county. 1t
will be remembered that he was a
comrade of Major Rufus Britain,
who also was an officer in the Twenty
Ninth. This regiment saw service in
the divisions of both Pickett and
Longstreet and was. therefore, en-
gagged in many of the great battles
of the war Capt. Leece fought
throughout the war and is listed with

They pulled off one of their usual

and was running alone towards Roby

BOARD TAKES UP
QUESTION AGAIN
Committee of Citizens Meet
With Officials of Gas
Company.

Ornamental street lighting was again
the principal subject of discussion be-
fore the board of public works. and
ter. some new information was brought
out.
The committee of citizens appointed
last Thursday night by Mayor Smalley
met with the board. w. D. Ray and Mr.
Crawford OF the Northern Indiana Gas
& Eelectric Co. were also present. The
committee IS composed OF w. c. Bel
man. chairman; Otto Knoerzer, Louis

To begin with the board and the
committee said that the Northern In

,station that they could bereduced and
company found that 1t could make a

ures. more than $4,000.
There was some discussion between
the board members and the company
officials about the way the company II

was asked to explain why it was thai

last but not least, standing the bonn
bardment which came from Rosene,
the twfrler for the fire boys.
From all appearances Rosene
thought the best way TO beat the po-
licemen would be to scare them out in
the first inning by seeing how close
he could throw at the batter without
hitting him. Well he succeeded in hit
ting seven different batters. but when
IT came to scoring them there was
nothing doing. as they just stuck
their bodies up to him and let him
throw.

policemen on the force and it looks
like some of them will need a weeks
layoff to get back into condition. Two
policemen, Oscar Borchert and John

would have to be made for breakage,
and that the cost of electrical juice in
incadescent lamps was higher than In
arc lights. This opened the technical
made along that line.
The company's relation to the city,
owing to an Injunction which is now
pending in the United States supreme
court. was also raised as a question
by the board as being possible arsu>
ment against entering into a contracs
for any length OF time
At present the city's lighting bill in
the business district Is 1850, and John
Rohde. member of the board, said that
unless the cost of the ornamental sys-
tenn can be kept within $4,000 or $4,000
he would not favor the installation. He
admitted. however. that IT would be a
splendid thing for the city. and also
that the problem cannot be solved eff
fectveiy unless the city pays for the
Juice"
1t was again argued that the very
men who are arguing for the system
are the ones who are the biggest tax
payers. and that the little property
owners would have to carry only abou,
ne-fourth of the burden. Mr.. Belmar
made the statement that the increased
tax would cost the First Nationa
bank $3.50 year for the improved
lighting system, but that the bank
would gladly pay 1T. 1t follows logical
ly that IL Mr.. Belman or any of ths
bank officials were selfish in the mat
ter. that they would oppose a publ,
| tax and pay for the system directly
In that way the bank would save abou
| s2oo a year, but Mr.. Belman does no
think this the right position to take Ii
| public matter.
| Mr.. Minas said that as a business
man he wanted nothing from the littl
taxpayer in the outlying district, an.
| that he would gladly contribute to re
| imburse the little taxpayer. who fel
that the extra 30 or 80 cents a yea
were burden. He insisted, however
that the only practical way to get tn
matter under way Is by the city becom
Ing party to the contract.

HAMMOND HAVING
ITS SECOND PLAGUE
City Is Sore Beset By Mo
squitoes Which Swarm
Over It.

Hammond Is having the second of its
seven plaques. The first was the
poisonous gnat which stung hundreds
of people in Hammond before it finally
disappeared.
Now the city is invaded by billions
of mosquitoes. Never in the history of
the city. except in the pioneer days be-
fore the swamps were drained, has
there ben so many mosquitoes are ara
now in evidence.
There does not seem to be a section
of the city that is free from them.
Even in the business district there are
swarns of them. 1t is unpleasant to
be out on the streets on account of
them.
So far as can be learned there are
no stagnant pools In and about the
city where's they can breed unless 1t is
the lagoons at Harrison Park or the
Calumet river.
1t has been said that a mosquito is
never found more than 1000 feet from
its breeding place but the fact that
there are so many in the business dis
trict Is an indication that this is a
mistaken idea
In fact the increase in the number
of mosquitoes Is so noticeable that tbs
matter has been called to the attention
of the health authorities. They will be
asked to make an investigation to de-
! termine where these pests are breed
ing.
| It,is a well known fact that little
coal oil poured on the water in which
mosquitoes bread will kill the larvae
and will prevent the development Of
the Mosquito.
