AGAIN GET BUSY

1t seems to be - an unusual and
anomalous case, not to say It
shame, thatpeople have to be urged
and importuned to take part !" an
annua, exhibition designed to fur
Their own material interests and
afford profitable and helpful diver
sion for interested visitors and nom
residents, but such is the case.
Highland is no exception, for we
note the fact that other sections -
outside of the real sporting classes
Il are forced to resort to appeals t"
the farmers to take interest in To-
cal fairs ana exhibitions.
Highland county is noted far
al near as one of the leading to:.
counties of Virginia aud it is pity
that stockmen who come from /,
distance should be disappointed in
the number and quality of the Elk,
hibits at our annual Stock Show.
VIII you do your part? Of course
you must go to some trouble, but
even the minimum of enterprise
should prompt you to groom, train
and prepare an exhibit for the
county show.
A good many entries are IN, and
still they come, but many will be
here on the 9, 10 and 18th of Sept
ember only to indulge in the idle
boast that they have one at home
that beats that one all to pieces. "
Don't let any one be heard to say
this. Bring in your brag exhibit,
whatever it may be, and prove
your assertion, get prize and help
your show promoters in advertising
Highlands exceptional features.
Make up your mind, and do it
now. The time is short and your
help and cooperation is needed. If
you are not enterprising and pro-
pressive enough to take a hand,
encourage the boys, the girls and
the housewife.
Comet Of course you will do that
Everybody is coming but bring
an exhibit, the biggest thing you
have, unless it is crouch. If you
have q crouch, 90 bury it like your
dog does his bone, then come and
have a big time.

from the high price of fruits, Vege-

come, equal, perhaps, to about D
ner cent return on the amount IN,
Vested. This fact is brought out
in a bulletin just issued by the De-
partment Of Agriculture.
As shown by the bulletin, the aV-
erage income of the American farm
er is S64O. 40 per year, and the de-
partment adds: cit is reasonable
to infer that at least half OF the
farm families in this country nave
even smaller incomes. Even IN
GLIDING all things consumed on the
farm as a part OF the income, the
farmer is very lucky who secures
an income of, say, 81 900 year
Stories of automobiles owned by
farmers may be true, but they rep
resent aggregate savings IN many
cases of several years, and IN not
few cases mortgage on the farm
Yet even granting that the aver
age farmer makes only a little more
than 5000 a year, he is at the emu
of it in very much better shape US
ually than the city artisan or clerk
who may make a nominal 81 900 or
81 200 a year. Most of the farm-
er's income has probably gone to
the bank or has been re.invested IN
the farm; while the urban dwell
ar's income has gone for car fare,
theatre tickets and the lnnumer-
able needs of city life, in addition
to the cost of food, clothes and
shelter. The farmer is or may be-
c me economical with scarcely an
effort. while the urban dweller with

Evolution in Park-Builuing.

A change is coming to park affairs.
the ideals are taking a more compre-
hensive form, and better suited to the
needs of the people. AS the park mis-
sion is being better understood. parks
are no longer rarity, but are com,
mon. While esthetical requirements
are greater, yet they are being betrei
adapted to everyday use
1t is necessary that what we do
shall be symbolic of some thought or
feeling, that 1t shall be a physical ex
preston Of some desire or purpose
We are not only learning these things
but also that the parks are more for
the people, and that the people who
rove over them are the most beautiful
feature a park can contain, and that
no park, no matter how barren and un
slightly 1t may be when empty, canno'
be devoid Of utility and beauty when
filled with people enjoying themselves

KEEPING ROADS IN CONDITION
Use of OIL, Following the Vogue Of the
Automobile, Has Been Found to
Be Most Effective.

The use of oil upon the roads is one
of the many interesting innovations
that have followed the introduction Of
the automobile. The wheel of the car
not only raises the loose dust of the
road, but, as the flattened part of the
tire becomes once more rounded on
leaving the ground. actually tears and
disintegrates the surface itself
AS the foundation Of the best road
oil, asphaltum-Which is present In
large amounts in the California and
Texas oils-is unrivaled. In fact. an
authority on the subject declares in
the New York Sun that a road oil Is
effective precisely in proportion to the
amount Of asphaltum it carries.
There are three methods of using
the oil. In the most thorough process
the road surface is first broken by the
piow. It Is then sprinkled with the
heaviest oil-half a gallon to gallon
Of oil to the SQUARE yard-and then
narrowed and rolled. 4 lasting road
bed results. This process, with Varl'
Gus notifications, has been much used
in California.
Another method that Is coming into
very general use in the east is to pre-
pare the roadbed by resurfacing the
crown of the road and brushing Off the
dust. Over this the road oil is sprln
killed. from a cart, about half gallon
to the square yard 1t is usual TO oil
only half Of the road at time, FOL
traffic should be kept from the oiled
surface for a couple Of days, Inc
preparation will last whole season.
but if the oiling is done oftener, 1t VIII
result in an enduring asphalted surf
ace.
The third method, less permanently
effective, is sprinkling the road with
emulsif1ed oil, mixture of oil. water
and saponifying chemicals-Whlcf
lays the dust and binds the road surf
ace, but which calls for reapplicatlor
every few weeks. II the emulslneC
oil has a true asphaltum base. this
method will ultimately result in dur
able asphaltum roadbed.
It may be added that many of the
California crude oils we're SO weighted
with asphaltum that for long tint
they were used as fuel only. The
chemists, however, have found wa!
to extract the naphtha and kerosene
and leave the asphaltum almost pure
| for this new use.

sslgoF a5Laa SPRING

As a result of negotiations begun
two months ago, when }. S Gibson
and others secured an option on
Bolar Spring, that property has
passed into the hands of d company
composed of A. V. Huyler, OF New
York, II. NJ. Lewis, of Staunton, j..
S. Gibson and J. Il. Mackey, OF
Highland, all papers and deeds being
duly signed and recorded this week.
This transaction is of special in
terest to the people of Highland,
because the property is so situated,
being Immediately on the Bath line,
shat is thorough development and
improvement is bound to contrib
ute to the general welf.re.
The promoters of the enterprise
are men who do things, and their
avowed purpose being to erect a
hotel, improve and beautifv the
grounds, advertise the water and
endeavor to make of its an uptodate
summer and health resort, is re-
ceiyed in good faith.
The capital stool; of the Company
is $50 900, minimum, and $50, 900
maximum, and many prominent
men of Highland aid Augusta coun-
ties have signifed their purpose of
'aking stock.
1t will be the purpose and aim of
the promoters to hurry the matter
OF Improvements, so that the hotel
and new features generally will be
ready for the season of 1914.
In addition to the spring itself d.
the transfer carries with it tract
of something like 500 acres of land,
much of which is covered with val
liable timber, winch can be utilized
either through the usual CONNER
cal channels, Or, on account q:
CO ,ytnience, in the tn? extensive
improvement contemplated.
Hitherto no special efforts have
been made to put Bolar to thefront
as a resort of any kind, and YET
hundreds have learned of its rare
medicinal features and have tested
the curative properties of the same
in the treatment of cutaneous dis
asses, catarlh, stomach and liver
troibles, etc.
There is no finer spring in Vir-
ginia. and the location is such that
the expenditure Of needed money
will make of it an ideal resort, both
as to pleasure and health.
The development and beautify-
ing Of Bolar means much to Mon-
:erey, and that Board Of Trade that
ought to be- would see it without
any strain on its optimism. Should
The day come when ALI roads lead
% Bolar," Monterey will be on the
most important one, and many a
health and pleasure seeker will find
contributing features right here and
be induced to tarry with us as they
go to and fro.
