THE COUNTRY BOYS CREED

| believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than
the city which man made; that life
out of doors and in touch with the
earth is the natural life of man.
believe that work is work where
ever | find it, but that work with
nature is more inspiring than work
with the most intricate machinery.
| believe that the dignity of labor
depends not on what you do, but
on how you do it; that opportunity
comes to a boy OH the farm as Of
ten as to a boy in the city, that
life is larger and freer and happier
on the farm than in the town, that
my success depends not upon my
location, but upon myself : not
upon my dreams, but upon what |
actually do, not upon luck, but
upon pluck. | believe in working
when you work, and in playing
when you play, and in giving and
demanding square deal in every
act of life. Edwin OSgood Grover.

COMING AND GGlNG

Each succeeding summer seasoii
should give fresh impetus to the
good road propagandaln highland
especially in the minds of those
who believe in the real issue be-
hind that doctrine.
In spite of present adverse con-
ditions highways>that are cursed
with sand-beds and back breaking,
understanding water-dltches :
numerous auto parties find their
wav into the county each year, and
the lament of all who come or
pass isthat they cannot recommend
the route to others.
A gentleman of intelligence who
recently spent ten days in Monte
.rey was heard to echo, almost YER
batim, the sentiments so long ao'
vocated by the Recorder, VIZ;
that Highland county's greatest
tangible asset was her summer Gil
mate; that, this being true the
business and aim of her othclals
and people should be to realize on
that asset, and the one way to dc
it was to make it accessible, place
it on the Market" by providing
the lest possible means of lngress
and egress. The man who fails to see
| it that way should use some sort Oh
eye opener 10th century tonic =
for it is the gospel of truth anc
common sense. We make no apol
gy for preaching it, over and over
again, and we re-assert the CLAIM
that the most important question
before the people of the county al
this time is that Of providing
good road as an outlet, and ade
quate for present-day travel anc
transr ortation.
As suggested elsewhere in this
issue, there is urgent need for some
sort. of organization of business
men m n VIII ,se faith and fore
sight will prompt them to under
take large things-because the per
sistent work of such men will has
ten the era of the "Greater High
land" that is inevitable, and moi

His Mind.

Wilson Baker, prosperous farmer
residing one mile and half west of
Pittsville, Md, killed his young wife
with shotgun and then walked out
into the field a hundred yards from his
home and ended his life with the same
gun.
Baker, it is said, had been drinking
heavily since the strawberry season
and had several times quarreled with
his wife, occasioned by jealousy. The
wife went about getting breakfast, and
while at this work the husband enter
ed the kitchen with double-barreled
shotgun and without warning shot his
wife down. She died almost instantly.
After chasing his four boys to shell
ter in ad rush to kill them, the
man ran tc nearby field and commit
ted suicide with-the same weapon.
Bakers ten-year-old son Frank s'ood
at his side when he killed his wife.
The child thought it was joke until
his mother fell to the floor dead. Hi:
shrieks as he fed warned his brothers
of their danger and all found safety
in the barn.
The murderer is about sixty-Gv'
years old and the woman he kille'
was his second wife. For some tim
Baker had been Jealous of h's VT
without foundation the neigh ors sa
He was superstitious ana had consul
ed gypsy fortune teller, who to-
him that man who frequently pa ST.
the house would take his wife ava
from him. This is believed to hay
made him temporarily insane.

There Is Money In Butter Making.

tain the best results it Is essential
that the animals purchased for the
dairy should be of the strict dairy
type, and be made a permanent part
of the farm live stock. Those VINO
purchase cows with the intention OF
milking them but short time and
then selling them off when the price
of butter-fat drops or when the ami
NAL goes dry naturally look more for
beef producers rather than milk pro-
ducers. 1t Is impossible to build up
a good dairy herd by this method.
Dual-purpose animals may be used
in some localities to good advantage,
but to get the best results one OF the
special dairy breeds should be used
This does not mean that only thor
oughbred animals should be used, but
animals that are bred for milk pro-
duction. A good dairy COW should
produce enough butter-fat in her bes'
days that the value of the beef may
be of secondary Importance, II not
entirely ignored.
A person purchasing an implement
considers first how much service he
can get out of it and not it's value
as scrap iron when worn out. Those
who purchase a'dairy COW should con-
slider how much butter-fat she will
produce and not the value of her hide
and carcass.

HOW 1T WORKS

1t was hot summer day. 1t
was also dusty. One hundred and
fifty men were driving from town
to town in Central Kansas, in autos
on a trade extention tour They
were Kansas men-merchants, law
yers, doctors, editors, clerks, me-
chanics, bankers andfarmers. From
time to time they stopped at thir-
teen towns during the days run.
No one in the crowd spoke of
beer. No one at the thirteen towns
offered anyone'any beer. At most
OF the towns there were great deep
stone jars of iced lemonade on the
sidewalks with bright tin cups
hanging from the jars, and sign
up, "Welcome, Emporians." There
was no whisky, beer or wine in the
crowd.
No one missed it. No one spoke
of it. For these men ranging from
thirty to sixty, had lived in Kan
sas thirty years under absolute pro-
hibition. Most of them had never
been in a saloon in their home town
in their lives. Booze was as remote
from their consciousness as carbolic
acid. Booze is not in the Kansas
scheme of things. No one thinks

Hon. H. D. Flood,
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. c.
My dear Mr.. Flood:
On June oath and 25th, 1913,
this office requested that the Civil
Service Commission should hold ad-
uitlonal examinations in the State
of Virginia for the purpose of Sc
curing additional eligibles for ap-
p"intment to positions in the inter
nal revenue service in the End and
9Th collection districts of Va.
| am informed bv the Civil Ser
vice Commission that such examl-
nations will be held on August l6,
1918, at the following places:
Fredericksburg, Newport News,
Petersburg. Richmond, Abingdon,
Alexandria, Charlottesville, Dan
vile, Lvnchburg, Roanoke. Staun-
ton, Winchester and that all appll-
cation for entrance to said examl,
nations should be in the hands OF
the Civil Service Commission by
August II, 1913.
AS numerous inquiries have been
made relative to appointments IN
the internal revenue service, and as
the commissions of deputy collec-
tors of internal revenue automati'
cally expire with that OF the collec,
tor by whom they were appointed
and commissioned, it is possible
many new collectors may not de
sire to recommission some of the ole
deputies, it is suggested that you
give this information as wide pub
LEFTY as possible, in view of the fact
that appointments to positions in
the internal revenue service are
made from eligible registers of the
Civil Service Commission.
Respectfully,
W. H. Osborne,
Commissioner.

rlonterey, Va. Friday, July Is 1915

Monterey orght-to have Com
mercial Club or Board of Trade.
Many villages have them and they
are doing good work. We do net
mean that such an o"ga0'z sfipn
should work for the town ai"ue, but
with its officers here members from
various sections of the county, much
could be done to boost the county,
and, incidentally, the county scat.
To conclude that the town is too
small for such an organizations to
show a lack of faith and goth cen
tury enterprise and progress.
We find an object lesson ii the
perseverance shown by the owners
of timber and mineral lands. They
are untiring in their efforts to bring
such holdings to the attention Of
parties whom they naturally sup
pose are interested i'll such lines ct
investments. Their efforts, as we
say, is persistent and untlring, and
finally lead to the desired results.
Monterey and Highland county
possess attractions of which the big
world around US is in large meas
ure ignorant. There arefortunes to
be made out of the latent resources;
there iSroom for many enterprises
not thought of by the average lay
man, such as creamerles, tanneries
summer hotels, ice plants, laun-
dries etc. Then there is her one
browning, tangible asset - an unsur-
passed summer climate-which, in
itself, is destined to prove more
valuable than even the most en-
thusiastic now dream of. The only
way to realize on this asset is to
place it on the market, and that
can only be done by getting our
people awake and educating them
to undertake big things for the town
and county.
A Commercial Club to take the
initiative in such matters would be
of inestimable value in the devel-
opment of our resources and the
accomplishment of desired ends.
Let the business and professional
men of the village perfect such an
organization, with representative,
public-spirited men from the vari-
Gus sections of the county, and,
properly handled and managed, it
would do much goodin many ways.

KIND OF COWS TO BUY

By E A. MARKHAM, Idaho Expert

L is not difficult to find men, even
In the most prosperous dairy com
munities, who do not believe that
dairying pays. They have tried 1t and
failed. Some have purchased good
stock, but poor management or false
economy in housing or feeding pre-
vented them from getting the results
they expected, but by far the largest
number of these failures are due to
the use Of animals that are not
adapted to dairying.
Those who purchase a few COWS
when the price of butter fat is high
and sell them off when the price goes
down naturally have rather poor

The clipping of horses and mules in

beneficial The clipped animals not
only appear better and are easier
cleaned, but they dry off quickly at
night, get good rest and are more Wig
