COUNTIES APPLY
FOR ROAD MONEY
Nearly All Now Accept State
Aid-Continued Activity
in Southwest.

Twelve Virginia counties have so far
made application to State Highway
Commissioner p st. Julien Wilson for
their part of State money aid to good
roads for the year which Will begin
March /. Most of the applications will
come In during the next few weeks
The popularity of this form of aid
has grown to such an extend that in
1912 only three OF the 100 counties of
the State failed to take advantage OF
the opportunity. The other ninety
seven asked for the money, got 1t and
spcnt 1t. in every case more than dupli-
eating tho amount from local funds for

The three counties still unwilling to
have the State help them are Glouces-

thiest' counties in the state when Its
mineral wealth is developed. so that
good roads building is only n matter of
time.
Arrangements are being made for
the construction of good roads In
Smyth County, for which bond issue
or $4,000 has been provided. A high
way connecting Saltville with other

for, while construction will soon begin

THE BEAUTIFUL WHITE EMepEN.

The goose IN sure an antique.
Monuments show that goosey-goosey-
gander has been following man up
and down creation for over 1000
years.
The Toulouse, coming direct from
the wild gray. Is oldest.
The beautiful White Embden Is
claimed by some TO originate from the
mating OF n white wild swan and the
Gray, while others claim IL Is an al
blno from the Toulouse. just ms the
white Rock comes from the Barred.
Whatever It's history, the Embdcn is
superior IN many respects to the
Toulouse, and we advise our readers
TO carefully select breeders TO preserve
the characteristics OF this splendid wa
ter fowl. which has gained much In
size. beauty, quality and popularity
since Il was brought over to Amerie"
100 years ago. .,.

straight, broad back; wlde rounu, rull

large, we'll rounded wings, folding
smoothly to sides; stout thighs, strong
shanks, toes and webs of deep orange
color
He should appear massive, be not
overfat nor thin, nor should he have
developed large abdominal pouch nor
prominent keel.
The goose should be his copy, but
more refined; from two to twelve years
old and not too closely related. Two
TO three geese to the gander Is the
limit.
The Embden affords a fine quality
of flesh. is n good layer, has no dark
pin feathers. and its white plumage Is
abundant and brings the highest price.
The goslings are very rapid growers
and make splendid green geese for
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
