Look for Better Trade in Horses.

Chicago, Feb. ia feeling prevails
along the horse line that trade will
show some improvement during the
coming week and while receipts are ex-
pected to be liberal, it is not generally
believed that they will aggregate as
much as last week. OF course, weather
conditions will play a big part in the
market and should the temperature
hunt the zero mark again, it's effect will
be to keep many buyers at home and
consequently curtail business. How
ever, continuation of present mod
crate conditions and a few smiles from
Old Sol should serve to stimulate buy
ers and stir them to action. Trade right
now is principally of the farm sort and
1t is getting down to a point where
farmers will have to transact their out
side business and prepare themselves
TO-, the usual spring work at home.
There are not many choice draft horses
coming in at present and the trade
quickly absorbed all that are offered.
Receipts OF horses for the week. es-
timating Saturdays run at 200 head,
total 2,725 head, which compares with
2,414 head last week, and 2,3S7 head
the corresponding week last year. Quo
tations:

State Auditor c. Lee Moore Making
Investigations
community.

Next. State Auditor G. Lee Moore,
wants to why so many prisoners are
kept in the city and county iails OF
the State and are not worked on the
roads.
There is a new law on this ub-
iect. Whatever it may mean--what-
ever the courts may say it means
it was intended by the Legislature
to provide that all jailbirds, save
those held for trial for felony or
those in only for day or so, should
be put to work improving the high
ways OF Virginia. The act creati ng
the State convict road force was
amended SO as to include Jail pris-
oners, and to it was added, In de-
scri bing who shall constitute the
road forces, the words. and all per-
sons now confined in our public
jails, or who may be hereafter con-
victed and so confned."
The Auditor will take long look
at this section and see If the courts
OF this State have any jurisdiction
for not putting Jail prisoners on the
roads instead of keeping them at the
public expense, in unhealthy and
miserable idleness, in the iails. The
law has been in effect since June.
The tremendous bills presented by
sergeauts for keeping prisoners are
an exceedingly costly drain on the
State, and the Auditor had rather
see them doing something. He can
not believe there are as many as 20(
people whom it is necessary to keep
in the Richmond Jail all the time
awaiting trial for serious crimes.
Besides, he thinks If the jailbird:
are made to work on the roads, th err,
won't be SO many jailbirds, or S,
many people on the roads, either
las are now confined behind bars.

A Method of Exterminating Whole
Colonies of Rats

A method of exterminating whole
colonies OF rats in the course OF a
night has been proposed TO the Pub
lie Health Service by a correspond
ent interested in the killing OF rats
through the publicity given this
matter in connection with the bu-
bonic plague in Porto Rico and
Cuba.
First, says the correspondent, one
procures an iron kettle. In it a
stone is placed. Water is poured in
until the stone is surI ounded, form
ing bleak and barren island. Then,
across the top of the kettle, two
bridges of paper, crossing in the
middle are fastened. Where these
strips OF paper cross a piece OF
cheese is placed. The bridges are
narrow, shaky and dangerous to
foot passengers.
When the first rat scents the
cheese he falls for it and is promptly
precipitated from the treacherous
bridge to the water below. BY he
roic efforts he gain; the isis nd and
sets up howl OF loneliness. Said
bowls attract another rat. He in
turn falls into the water. Then en-
sues a fight for possession of the
small territory. The fracas attracts
the curious denizens OF Ratville anC
they also fall into the water. AS a
result all ratdom is in the kettle
when dawn breaks aud the PIED
Piper of Hamln is wondering how
be ever became famous.

He said he felt confident that the

upset the calculations OF their ad-

iron hand" said the Colonel with a
touch OF sarcasm. 81 always feel
inclined to answer when any one
says it, that the people don't know
the kings or they would not pu
it down as my ambition. They
don't know the kings as do. There

PRIMITIVE SCHOOL IN
R0CKBR|DGE COUNTY
Unusual Educational Conditions
On Irish Creek
MEN AND WOMEN IN SCHOOL
Cooperative Association of State
Assisting in Work

The following story Of education
al onditions In a remote and noun
famous section OF Rockbridge ap-
peared a few days ago in a Richmond
newspaper:
Professor ]. II. Binford, execu-
tive secretary OF the Co Cooperative
Education Association. and mem
Der of the State Department OF Edu-
cation, just back from trip through
the mountainous section OF the State.
brings n bizarre tale of school cor
ditions in Irish Greek Hollow, a Sc
cluded and primitive community
about twenty miles from Lexington.
Professor Binford was accompan-
led on his trip by Professor T. S.
Settle, State supervisor OF rural ele-
mentary schools. Irish Creek Hol-
low, according to the Richmond
men, is one OF natures garden spots
10 which the inhabitants exc out a
scanty existence by tilling small
patches OF corn, selling nuts and
berries, and gathering ginseng. A
rude log cabin containing a single
room is the prevailing type Of house
Ore Of these was found TO harbor a
family Of fourteen persons.
A mountain glen about eight miles
up the hollow contains q small
church and a school. The church
was built few years ago through
the efforts OF a woman preacher who
did useful work until she began
preaching strange doctrines. which
alienated her congregation.
For six years the little school
house was unused, because it wa.
| impossible TO secure a teacher will
ling 10 spend the winter in Irisl
Greek Hollow. The problem re
NAMED unsolved until Miss Salli,
Bruce Dickinson, a veteran teacher
OF the State, undertook to conduc
the school in the summer months
On June 1, Miss Dickinson. accom-
panied by Misses Wade and Patter
son OF Rockbridge county, went int
Irish Greek Hollow with a complet
camping outfit and opened til
school. The response was hearty
and more than sixty pupils enrolled
large number OF them marie
people. A regular class was estat
lished for the grown people of tn
community.
