WORKlNGMEN TAKE IMPORTANT
ACTION

Denying that politics played any
part in its inception, claiming rath-
err that business and social relations
between the two sections depended
largely on their continued political
unity, a resolution was adopted at
the regular Saturday night meeting
of the Workingmen's Fraternal As
ISOLATION, held in the hall over
Marshall's drug store, expressing
the disapproval of that body at any
legislation tending to alter the sem
atorial district composed of Augusta
and Highland counties. Coming
after the close of the Legislature,
this contention would seem to be
we'll founded, indicating only de-
sire to strengthen trade and social
intercourse between the people OF
these prosperous S ctions.
Here is the resolution:
"Whereas from time immemorial
the counties of Highland and Au-
gusta have enjoyed social and bust
ness rela,i ms with profit and pleas
ure to one another, the Working
mems Fraternal Association, wish
ing these same relations to continue,
heartily disapproves of any leg lsla-
tive action that would tend to
change the senatorial district COM
posed of Highland and Augusta;
Be it resolved, that this asso-
citation sends greetings to the good
people of Highland county with
the wish that these same pleasant
relations continue. '-Staunton Dis

We are please. to note this ac-
! ton bv the " +. A., the matter
of trade relations between the two
section having haen entirely omit
ted or ignored by the Stauntor
boosters.
The relation that Highland sus'
tains to Staunton and Augusta is
peculiar in that our county has nc
railroad outlet, and it would be
possible under such circumstances
to draw almost its entire trade IN
that direction. If the two sections
would unite in securing an ideal.
modern highway connecting them,
the benefits in a business and social
way would be incnlculable. Fol
two months j"st past there has
been virtually an "impassible gulf, "
the terrible mud, and business re-
''lations have been at a low ebb.
Augustus move in the big bono
issue for roads will help, and Staun
tonians have been heard to say
that they would l.leet Highland
on top Of the Shenandoah. the
county line. These assurances, to-
gether with the friendly greetings
sent US by the W. F. Association
are cordially acknowledged.

17.96S.7S 1,3S2.67

These figures are for the regular
contract work and the cost of ap-
plying the money, which, on the
public roads has been about 1882
per annum, and on the pike about
5000. In addition to this amount,
something like 81 900 year has
been paid for extra work, bringing
the total annual outlay to an aver
age of 81, 1873, and the grand total
for past ten years to Sal, 3S2.57 for
county roads, and S17, 96S.7S for
the pike, no extras included as to
the pike
As stated before, these figures
are given with the hope that all
who have the matter under serious
consideration may find food for
thought and perhaps profit by
studying them. We can never hope
to have good mud roads, and the
reason they seem worse every year
is because we have reached an era
when something better is expected,
and they have become more I'M
bearable because of the opportuni-
ty now afforded of comparing them
with modern or good roads.
If our roads are no better now
than ten years ago, then the start
ling amount of $50, 351.44 has been
expended in doing over each year
what has been undone the previous
year. We contend that it comes
as an eye-opener, and it does, No
one is to blame; our plan of road
working, and that of scores of other
sections, has been followed, and to

We do not lay claim to large
measure of wisdom, but we are
sincerely interested in this question
and have given it serious thought.
To our minds the lesson is plain:
Money spent on dirt roads is virtu-
ally wasted.
Seventeen years ago the little
stretch of street from the front of
court house square to DR.. Trimble's
alley was built at an expense of
something like $3.50, and since that

Ralph Waldo Emerson.
When Emerson. the great American
writer. came to England be paid WIS.,
it to Wordsworth, says an English
magazine. Wordsworth had just re-
turned from journey and was in his
garden writing poem on what he had
seen. The visitor found the great poet
a white haired. tall. sparely built man,
Of rugged. rustic type. with nothing,
unless it were the fine eyes, to hint Of
the poet.
Wordsworth made no ceremony over
the visit of the man from far land,
but said instantly when he was called
to greet him. "If you are interested In
my poetry perhaps you will like to
hear these lines" Emerson politely
agreed. and this Is what happened.
Emerson has himself written the story
down for us. The old poet thought
for n few moments. then stood forth
and repeated with great animation an
entire poem he had written.

Uncle Sans Plans For Teaching
Farmers This Year.

Farm and Fireside, an agricul-
tural paper published at Springfield,
Ohio, contains an account of the
plans of the United States Govern
ment for advancing agricultural in
terests throughout the country, in
the coming year. Following is an
extract:
'"rhe Federal Government will
expend about $4,000 this fiscal
year in promoting the cause of
better farm management, through
the medium of county agents, who
will impart instruction directly to
the farmers and the farmers orga-
nizations.
'Such expenditure has been as
sured by a provision in the agricul-
tural appropriation bill which al
lows 100000 for farm management
purposes. A part of this sum will
be used in pursuing the farm man
agement investigations of which
William J. Spillman has charge. Mr..
Spillman, under whose division in
the Bureau of Plant Industry the
direction of farm management mat
tiers falls, estimates that about
$125,000 will be available for the
employment of agents in various
counties and for the organization
needed to make the work of these
agents effective.
Farm management efforts of the
Department of Agriculture have
thus far not been of a nature to
bring the farmers of the country
and the farm management experts
of the Department in close touch.
But a new order of things is at
hand. Plans are being perfected
that will eventually result in the
best expert advice of the Depart
ment on practical problems of farm
management being given to farmers
in many counties directly. What is
going to be done by the government
this year is only a beginning. Next
year, there is good reason to be-
lieve, Congress will largely increase
the amount allowed for the spread
of instruction and suggestion as to
farm management. That the gov
eminent will soon be paying out a
million dollars a year for this pur-
pose is not only possible, but prob
able.
'"The plan is for the Federal Gov
eminent to pay half the salary and
expenses of the agent for each coun-
ty. The other half is to be raised
locally. That is, while the govern
ment will have about $4,000 to
spend for this purpose between now
and next June 30th, the end of the
fiscal year, the fact that an equal
sum will be raised in the different
counties that want agents will
bring the total expenditure for the
promotion of farm management
advice and instruction up to
s25O,00O."

FOR CONGRESS:
J. HARRY CONVICTION
Poor Old Hu|k.
OF TALBOT COUNTY

If one may judge anything at all
by the present situation in what
was once the Republican party, it
is indicative of the fact that the
old ship which has been known as
the "Grand Old Party" for many
years has foundered. Whether the
old ship was really scuttled or not
cannot be told just yet, but from
the frantic efforts which are being
put forth to float it by the office
holders and protected element, one
might think that the crew-the vot-
ers-got tired of seeing the officers
get all the pay and all theglory,
while they barely got enough to ex-
list, a large portion of what really
belonged to them going to the
trusts, which had given money to
fit out the old ship with paint to
cover up dry rot, new sails, and to
keep a festive board for the officers
while the crew ate hard tack.
That the ship was really scut-
tied because of dissatisfaction seems
quite likely. Unfortunately, how
ever, for the new ship, it does not
seem to be any Improvement upon
the old, for its masters, too, are
catering to the same element, and
the crew, which is better educated
than formerly, will soon get on to
the fact and revolt.

The silo has had It's growth
and development the same as

As the plow was evolved from
the crooked limb cut from the
ancient forest Of our ancestors
in to the modern gang pillow Of
the western prairie. as the mod
ern reaper has been evolved
from the primitive reap hook, or
the threshing machine from the
fail used in ancient times for
beating out the crop of grain by

To France. the thriftiest of all

idea that has brought forth the

caves or pits in which it was at
tempted to preserve green fodder
for winter feeding. They were
soon afterwards built as air
tight receptacles above ground
and introduced into America by
Francis Morris of Baltimore.
From lack Of knowledge great
many failures resulted and in
