Broad Tires.

Counties like Wise and Taze-
well which are spending large
sums of money on their high
ways cannot afford to have
t h g IN destroyed by narrow
tires of the vehicle now in gem
eral use. Broad tires are being
adopted in eastern counties and
other states by the necessary
legal action, and will conserve
rather than destroy roads. In
some localities the people who
pay the taxes and own the
reads, by mass meetings and
in other ways are "initiatipg"
the broad tire movement and
many good citizens are volun-
tarily adopting broad tires. We
hope the newspapers OF the
counties in the southwest will
rush alnng this propaganda. =

Commissioner Koiner Issues
A New Bulletin.

The State Department. of
Agriculture is now sending out
the June Monthly Bulletin.
This issue goes to about $4,000
farmers, who are scattered in
every ono of the one hundred
Counties in this State. These
Monthly Bulletins arc fresh
and practical for the season
IN which they are issued. The
June Bulletin contains a very
pactical and instructive article
on Why We Cultivate The Soil
Many people think the soil is
cultivated simply to kill the
weeds, but this Bulletin shows
there are more important
reasons than to kill weeds. It
says the soil is cultivated TO
loosen it, to LOT the air in, that
the plant roots need air, as
well as man. The loose soil al
40 let's In heat to warm up the
soil and hasten plant growth,
and cultivation ioosens the soil
to allow the tiny roots to push
out in their growth and lastly
the cultivation ia to kill the
weeds. The article fully ex-
plains the Importance OF these
important results that are OBJ
tanned through cultivation of
the crops.

OCEAN LINERS AND yIR-
GINA COAL MINES
Edward ]. schembri Agent of
international Mercantile
Marine Company. Talks
of Situation While in
Bristol.

Edward j. Schembri, travel
ing agent of the international
mercantile Marine Company
which operates the ocean grew.
houdns of the Red Star, White
Star and American lines from
America to Europe, was visit.
or to Bristol last week.
Mr.. Schembri, comes to
Southwest Virginia to look into
the coal mining situation. The
increase in the production of
coal in this territory has
brought it to the attention of
steamship companies. Mr..
Schembri is going over the coal
operations and coke plants of
the territory along the Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio, Virginia
and Southwestern and Norfolk
and western. He is gathering
much information US to ship
ping of coal, the extent of the
production and the possibilities
of the fields.
The Virginia Kentucky fields
are now having the greatest
activity in their history. The
Clinchfield is being operated to
Dante, the seat of the Clinch
field Coal Corporation. The
Louisville and Nashville is
building into the coal fields
from Lexington. The Virginia
and Southwestern, nov II part
of the Southern system, has
made important extensions.
The Norfolk and Western has
a good outlet, while the Louis
vile and Nashville has impor.
tant connections in the coal
fields on the Virginia side of
the line.
Mr.. Schembri has travelled
widely and has had much OK
perience in mining districts.
He has been around the globe
fourteen times. He says: "If
this section wants to come to
the front in mining, like North
ern and Western Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and at present
Alabama, it must welcome the
foreign laborer. There should
be no prejudice or antagopism
toward him because he is
essential Co the development of
the vast natural resources of
this section. The Hungarians,
Slays, Poles and Italians are
sober, peaceable people. The
Syrains and Greeks are fine
merchants and all of these as a
rule make good citizens. 1t is
important to keep out others
who prey upon these plain,
honest people,"

The old hotel has been sold
and will be removed to be re.
placed by new structure, one
of the most costly ever erected
in this city of wonderful public
buildings. When complete il
is estimated that the the new
building will coat over three
million dollars. The furnish
ings and ornaments have been
on sale Mt auction for many
days, and scores of men and
women whose names are fam.
iliar to the public have been
buying brio a-brac, rare vases
and pictures. AT times the
auction room resembled a social
function, and some fabulous
prices were paid for articles
having little intrinsic value but
famous for their associations.

To Prevent Flies From
Breeding.

Screen stables il possible.
Remove the manure at least
twice n week.
Keep the manure, while it is
in the stable, in a closed bin or
pit.
Every time the stalls are
cleaned, and the manure placed
in the pit or bin, sprinkle it
with dry plaster powder gyp
SUM or slaked lime.
Be sure that you sprinkle the
cracks and crevices of the bin
or pit, as we'll as the cracks be-
tween the planking of the stall
floors.
If flies begin to breed in stored
manure they may be killed by
thoroughly spraying it with
Kerosene or Paris green, aud
then pouring on enough water
to wash the oil or poison well
in.
The objection to tho use of
Kerosene is that it ruins the
manure for fertilizing purposes.

1t is usually conceded that
the editor of q newspaper gets
ali that is coming to him. AS
this is usually criticism of one
sort or another, n little word
of praise goes a long way with
ue. For instance, we were
told by lady Of this town one
day last week that she felt that
we deserved compliment for
the clean, wholesome write-ups
in the Post, and that she often
remarked to her friends that
our accounts of the social
affairs in our town compared to
our credit with those of the city
papers. As the lady, herself,
is very prominent socially, and
items concerning herself and
family are eagerly chronicled
by more newspapers than the
Post, and by considerably big
ger ones, we felt quite proud Of
the compliments.

First Death Re-
ported.
Permit Issued for Burial of
Hanover Infant on Day
Law Became Effec-
tive.

Richmond, Va. June 2e.-
On the very day the new law
for reporting births and deaths
became effective, the full pro
visions of the statute were in
vokcd and the first death re-
ported was that of n colored in
FAINT in Hanover, who died with
out physician's attendance. To
insure a record of the death
and to be- positive that it was
not due to violence, Local Reg.
istrar Geoege Il. Heath of Ash
land investigated the death and
issued the first burial permit
ever granted under State law.
From III c report filed by
Squire Heath with the State
Board of Health, it appears
that the infant died from the
effects of medicine administer
ed it in sickness. No physician
was in attendance, but the reg.
istrar heard of the death, and
IA the law requires that such
deaths be Investigated by a
member of the local board of
Health, Squire Heath called in
the health officer. The two
went to the home of the child,
ascertained the fucts; secured
the proper information, had the
health officer sign the certifi-
cate of death and issued the
buic! permit. so far as is
known this is The first death
recorded under the new statute.
cit is q remarkable coinci,
dence," declared an official of
the State Health Department,
IN discussing the case yester.
day, "that the first death of
which we have received official
notification should be one that
emphasized the Importance of
the precautions taken i'm the
statute. Heretofore, persons
who died without physicians
attendance in country districts
and in many towns, could be
buried without n permit or
without an investigation of any
sort. The death might have
been due to natural causes or it
might have been the result of
violence, but in neither case
did the State have any macbin-
cry except the coroner for the
ascertaining the facts. The
death reported by Squire Heath
was clearly accidental, but had
it been due to violence, the
local registrar, in carrying out
the provisions of the law, would
certainly have ascertained that
fact. This new statute will be
of great service to the civil law
and to the individual, and it
will undoubtedly be of value in
detecting deaths due to yio-
lence."
