williamsburg. Thirty years agl
this country had thousands of as
beautiful walnut trees as ever grew
on tht face of the arth. They were
ruthlrssly cut down and split into
fence posts and rails and sawed in
t.. lumber. which was used for ali
kinds Of building purposes. Many of
these trees to-day would sell for
500. The same line OF policy is nov
being pursued with many other
kinds of timber. There are many
trees that If left alone for the next
few years would bring large prices.
1t would be well to think OF these
things before ruthlessly chopping
them down.

The following crop report for the
period between September l and
October 1. the last for the year, is.
sued by the State Department 81
Agriculture:
THE crop season closes With
corn maintaining its splendid condi,

where the flooded conditions delay-

OF importing cattle and hogs or ex-

not hesitate TO recommend the

There has Eeen such complaint
from loss OF hogs by cholera that
the department undertook to find
what per cent. OF the hogs of the
State have been lost by this disease
since the first of July. About 40
per cent. OF the counties OF Ken

counties. The estimate for the en-

as cerebro-spinal meningitis is de-

NO PLACE FOR IDLE WOMAN
She Must Join the Ranks of Workers
or Be Left to Wither in Utter
Loneliness.

Every one nowadays recognizes the
absurdity of idleness. For what could
be more ridiculous than the idle WON
an who can find no one to idle with
her? So strenuous has modern life
become that idleness is completely
shOrn of it's charm, and the girl who
either by nature or cultivation pos-
Eesses an idle temperament is apt to
fnd herself an outsider.
She must do something and do It
we'll if she does not wish to wither of
loneliness. There is no place nova
days for the idle woman. Even in the
supposedly idle class of the very rich
she scarcely has foothold.
Turn where she will, she will find
the woman of her set doing things.
The modern woman is stepped to the
eyes in work; charities claim her
time, new and philanthropic move
ments hold her attention and humani-
ty knocks insistently at her door. She
could not idle if she would and keep
her place in the rush of modern prog
ress.
The fact that idleness has fallen
into disrepute and is disdained even
by fashionable women is a blessing
to the girl who must work from ne
cessity. She has no longer to explain
and defend her own strenuous atti-
tude. Her friends are too busy them.
selves, whether from mere inclination
or positive necessity, to enter into
arguments on the impropriety of
mans work for women.
So it behooves every girl to choose
some congenial work and thoroughly
prepare herself for it, so If the day of
necessity comes she may turn to the
thing for which she is fitted and to
work which is congenial in order to
earn a livelihood.
The young girl of today has every
thing on her side. She is infinitely
better off than the young girl of ten
years ago, and If she's wise she will
avail herself Of her opportunities
