We may be forgiven the pride Of Tres

thing, has been conceived IN this great
Commonwealth for the benefit. lot SO
much Of Virginia as for the benefitsof
the United States and Of mankind. !"
To each of the original thirteen col
onies, both in their careers as depend
eneies of the British Crown and sup
sequently as States Of the American
Union, it appears to HAYS been given to
teach some especial lesson. Each ex-
ernpiified in the circumstances OF it's
ofiein, or something that developed in
the life and aspirations Of the people, an
individuality that stood for a permanent
idea. Public service is the great lesson
of Virginia-the beacon which she has
raised throughout history now imperish-

sdence bestowed superior advantages.

it that their greater gifts imposed a
greater duty to use them for the benefit

| Virginians have been willing to hold
public ofhce-ofte without pay, as in
ths case of Washington during the
Revolution-and to turn aside from the
glittering road that leads to the dollar.
Men of eminence in the professions and
wealthy landowners have not considered
it beneath them to serve as magistrates
ias election officers, as members of the
Legislature and in other posts which
successful men often shun. The tablet
at Williamsburg bearing the names of
the Burgesses who passed ire non I'M

Just now Virginia, as well as the

her own historic lesson. Her political
affairs have fallen into the grip OF a
ring from which large elem ent of the
I people has strus ged for release in vain.
The giants of the elder statesmen, -
who once gave new meaning to poll

Garden Tools Save Labor.
A Sprayer is Almost Indispensable In
Controlling Insects and Diseases.

The farmers, garden should furnish
his family with large share Of their
living during the greater part of the
year, and it may we'll be made q
source of considerable revenue be-
sides, though the sale Of It's surplus
products, In many instances much OF
the care of the garden falls upon the
good wife and the children and 1t is
only fair that their work should be
made seasy and pleasant as possible.
The notion that a complete assort-
ment of garden tools requires large
outlay of money is an erroneous one
and is often caused, no doubt. by the
multitude of tools which one sees dis.
played at the stores or in seedsmen's
catalogues. Many of these are i'm.
practicable, however, or are mere
notifications of one that answers the
purpose equally well. The cost of an
outfit for any West Virginia farm gar
den can be kept within $4,000. This.
