Farmers Helped by Special Work

Blacksburg, Va, March 2.
The forty county demon
strators, who spent six weeks in
special study at the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute, and the
thirty short course men finished
their work here last week and
returned to their homes or fields
of labor. Judging from the ex-
pressions of those who were stu
dents here for the six weeks, it
is reasonable to conclude that
they derived great benefit from
the daily lectures and demonstra-
lions of theories taught in the
classroom, and return to private
or public duty with a broader
vision of the possibility for the
Virginia farmer and wider
range of knowledge as to what
is essential to make farming pay
and raise the standard of the
profession of farmer to that now
held by the finer arts and sci
encies.

W.C.T.U.C Column

Tonight it enters a humble
home to strike the roses from a
womans cheeks and tomorrow it
challenges this republic in the
halls of Congress.
Today it strikes a crust from
the lips of a starving child and
tomorrow levies tribute from the
government itself"
"There is no cottage humble
enough to escape it; no place
strong enough to shut it out.
1t defies the law when it cannot
coerce suffrage.
cit is flexible to cajole but
merciless in victory.
ct is the mortal enemy of
peace and order, the despoiler of
men and terror of women; the
cloud that shadows the face of
children, the demon that has dug
more graves and sent more souls
unshivered to judgment than all
pestilences that have wasted
life since God sent the plaques
to Egypt and all the wars since
Joshua stood before Jericho.
cit comes to ruin and it shall
profit mainly by the ruin of your
sons and mine.
1t comes to mislead human
souls and to crush human hearts
under its rumbling wheels.
"It comes to bring gray-head,
ed mothers down in shame and
sorrow to their graves.
"It comes to change the wife's
love into despair and her pride
into shame.
cit comes to still the laughter
on the lips of little children.
1t comes to stifle all music Of
the ONE and fill it with silence
and desolation.
1t comes to ruin your body ant
mind, to wreck your home, ant
it knows it must measure it,
prosperity by the swiftness ant
certainty with which it wreck
this world"

and mellow rye" will stare them
in the face or bring their CHI il
dren into temptation. The homes
into which it enters will not be
exploited for the benefit of the
saloon and all its undertakings
for good will be practically as
we'll as theoretically sincere.
The action of the New York
American is in line with news
paper development. In the past
few years marked improvement
in the tone of adver Using has
taken place, and every day or
two some well known newspaper
announces its determination to
free its columns from whiskey
announcements. A large major
iity of daily publications, how
ever, still persist in making
themselves agents for the adj
vancement of liquor interests,
and they doubtless will continue
to do so until public sentiment is
SlIOnS enough TO cOmpel Cnem
to adopt different policy.
Mr.. Hearst's rule against
whiskey applies to two of his
great papers, one in New York
and the other in Chicago, and
we have no doubt that in little
while the rule will be extended
to include every publication with
which he is identified. What he
has already done is a significant
victory for temperance. 1t is a
long step towards the coming of
a day when no man will consider
himself clean who assists direct
ly or Indirectly in the propaga-
ton of intemperance.

Campaign For Emory
N Herald Courier:

From Herald-Courier:
The campaign to raise $75 900
for Emory and Henry College in
order that it may avail itself of
an equal sum offered by Carnegie
and Rockefeller, is being vigor-
ously prosecuted. 1t was begun
last Sunday at Bluetield and will
be continued during March and
April.
Bishop John C. Kilgo, one of
the most noted men in the
Southern Methodist church, has
agreed to give one week to the
work and will arrive next
Thursday. He will speak Thurs
day at Radfork; at Pulaski Fri
day; at Mt. Pleasant Church,
Wythe, county, Saturday morn
ing; at Marion Sunday morning;
at Rural Retreat Sunday even
ing; at Abingdon Monday; at
Bristol Estate street church,
Tuesday, and at thomson City
Wednesday.
The meeting at Bluefeld last
Sunday was conducted by Rev.
j. Stuart French, of McKcntdree
church, Nashville; Rev. S. d.
Long and Presiding Elder J.B.
Ward, of the Bluefield district.
Enthusiasm was so great at
Bland street church that the
stewards voted to guarantee the
assessment. The meetings were
largely attended and the great
est interest shown.
The Rev. r. K. Sutherland, of
this city, financial agent of EN-
DRY and Henry, who, as such, is
in charge of the campaign, stated
Friday that he was very much
encouraged by the reports of
what is being accomplished in
the upper end of the conference
and is most hopeful of the out
come of the campaign. He will
go to Elizabethton today, accom-
panied by WIS. Neighbors. The
campaign will soon be transferr-

What to do With Cover Crops

Green cover crops, such as rye,
clover, ETC., should be allowed to
grow as long as it is safe to let
them grow and as the crop to
follow will permit. However,
they should be turned at least
from two to three weeks before
the next crop is to be planted,
and the land disked or otherwise
put in good condition before
planting the crop which is to fol-
low. 1t is always safest to cut
the cover crop well with a disk
harrow before turning it with
the pillow. IT. B. Parker, in The
Progressive Farmer.

(CHdrlOCLeSVllle GfOgTeSS.D
Mr.. Cleveland, until the cleo
ton of Mr.. Wilson, was the only
Democrat successful in carrying
the election for Presidency since
Buchanan. He was tremendously
popular throughout the country
until his last term as President,
but his popularity did not APP
proach that of Mr.. Bryan who
in each of his three candidates.
carried an average of about one
million votes more than Cleve-
land commanded at any time.
And any observer of facts will
ing to be governed by them will
admit that Bryan is more pop
ular today, has a stronger hold
on the voters throughout this
country, than any other Demo
crat whose strength has beer
tested in a national campaign.
! Why, then, should he not be
in Mr.. Wilson'S cabinet if Mr.
Wilson invites him and he is
willing to accept? He will repre-
sent the Democratic people Of
this country. He will have ;
tremendous interest in the sue
cess of the administration as h,
has apparently in Mr.. Wilson

In a nutshell, it is simply the
art of minding your own bust

Let others do as they wish,
but as for yourself, try to do that
which is for the bettermcnt of
your health and the prolonging
OF your nerve forces.
They can best be solved to q

udices, by permitting others to
enjoy their own kind of
pleasures, their own IDEAS, and
to work out their own salvation.

Tx "p9.,s.m" Post

The WOES OF the overburdened
mail carrier since the parcel
post law went into effect are
faithfully depicted in letter
received in Washington by rep
resentative Thomas w. Hard
wick, of Georgia. Mr.. Hardwick
is informed by his constituent
that congress has placed the
rural mail carriers in "a devil of
a fix" and that immediate relief
is sought.
This letter, which Mr.. Hard
wick regards as gem in its
line, is from T.. L. Deacon, of
lrwinton, Ca, and reads in part
rs follows:
/ seat myself with pen in hand
to write you a few lines to let
you know that you have played
the devil with me. am the mail
carrier from Mcintyre to Irwin
ton, and | took the contract to
carry the mail three times day,
distance three and one-half
miles, for 1919 a year. At that
time the express company was
doing pretty good business and
got 10 cents for each express
package and 10 cents and
drink for every jug.
You fixed the law so Icouldn't
carry the jug and now you have
fixed up a thing called the pos
sum post and the express COM
pany doesn't handle any more
small packages, nor do | handle
any more dimes. When | made
this contract | could carry the
mail in a road cart and Texas
pony and haul the express on
the outside; now the express has
shrunk and this post business
has swcllcd so | have to get
mule and wagon.
Now, when | made this trade
to carry the mail 1 didn't know
anything about the darn foolish
ness and sending live stock and
farming implements through the
mail. | thought that this was
Just campaign talk and had no
idea that Congress- would be fool
enough to pass any such law. |
amt n man to quit his job, and
| never get my bondsmen in
trouble, but | tell you this thing
is getting serious, and | want
some help.
You have just about ruined
the express company and you
have worse than ruined me.
The express company has made
enough to quit, but | was not
making square living at first,
and now am workingfor moth
ing and feeding myself |
wouldn't mind working three
more years for nothing but the
feed is about out.
You know they should not add
the express business to my mail
contract. If you know of any re-
lief, study il up and write me.
| know that Uncle Sam doesn't
want one of his Woodworking
citizens to do the express COM
panies business for nothing. |
am willing to do the work if you
will get me pair of mules and
wagon and something to feed
the mules.
See the man who handles the
money up there and ask him if
he will not raise my wages or
cut Mcintyre and Irwinton off
from the post business. Sandy

The Church Voice

In the Convocation of Canter-

ops spoke sharply of what they
called the "church voice." Guilt
waited in the church of England,
and, we may add, out of it; and
a resolution was past which
