Valley a Fine
Pickle Field

NJ, =. bressler believes Ashland is
Ideally situated for the establishment
OF pickle factory. Having formerly
been a director in a concern of the
KIND in the middle west he is ouali-
lied to speak with some degree of au-
thorlty on the subject. and he talks
very Interestingly on the possibilities
OF this industry as a revenue producer
TOT the man who has a few acres ad-
)acent to the city.
Mr.. Bressler states that farmers of
the middle west region, where he was
In business. made big money on pick
ling crops-despite the shorter grow
ing season there-and says that
around Ashland where the sezsOn Is
longer, and where the soil will pro-
duce twice as many bushels TO the
acre, the pickle industry would be z
sure winner. He says he believes he
could, inside of ninety days, convince
the small growers Of this and could
FORM strong stock company 20 start
the business.
That the Ashland district will grow
line picking crops IS indisputzble
Ihat enormous quantities Of fruits
go to waste, that might be converted
INTO vinegar, is also a fact The fact
that picking crops are quicker rev
enue producers than orchards. and
the further fact that they can be
grown in the orchards themselves, Is
another point in favor OF the propo-
sltion. II may also be mentioned
that bottled OF barTeled pickles can
be handled, from 4 marketing stand
point, much more satisfactorily than
the fresh fruits 20 which Ashland Dis
trict is now largely devoted
In short-it goes without saying
that a picking factory, that would
use up our Gull fruits and provide q
market for something that the small
.orchardist could grow readily between
his fruit trees, would be a godsend 70
this region. Mr.. Bressler's sugzes-
tion is worthy OF the most exhaustive
investigation and the most careful
consideration. IL his assertions are
demonstrable he should be given
every encouraz cement possible in the
establishment Of such an enterprise.
providing he desires 20 devote 10 il
his time and energy.
Every enterprise OF this sort should
be fostered in order that We may have
a great resort city. with many visitors
to help consume products from our
now unproductive acres. but that we
may also show 70 the world that Ash
land is a place OF thrift where a Iiv-
ing may be made BY people OF indus
try and ambition We should not
only have picking works but can
neries and driers as well. We believe
that capital will before long Be avail
able 10 develop the things Ashland
needs along these lines and We believe
that those who start the ball rolling
TO secure these things for Ashland
will find abundant encouragement in
the years 10 come
II is devoutly 20 be hoped that Ash
land will not-noT that she has vot-
ed bonds TO start a resort city-sit
down and twiddIe her thumbs in idle
ness. There are innUmerable things
10 be done before Ashland becomes
the flourishing city that she is enti-
tied 10 be. Voting bonds will not
save any city from going on the
rocks. IN fact. they are a detriment
unless followed up By active and
earnest effort TO bring 10 pass the
conditions for which they were in
tended.

Elsewhere in this issue appear
the Democratic State, Congressional
and County tickets. Heading the
State ticket we have George H.
Hodges. If Governor ever de-
served reelection, it certainly is
Governor Hodges. He took up
the reins of our State government at
the turning point in public opinion.
Under the Stubs administration
public money was expended with no
mercy on the taxpayer, appropria-
tions had been made by the legisla-
ture for the building of an Insane
Hospital at Larned and for a Tuber-
culosis hospital, but no hospitals
we're built; various departments had
been created, the principle duty Of
whose employees was to "draw pay
more than $500, 10000 Of the 191a

administration, and yariots Other

Arthur Capper's daily, the To-
peka Capital, devoted considerable
space to bowling about Governor
Hodges not giving the Society of
Labor the right to appoint the Com
missioner of Labor and Industry,
which causes US to remark that it
would be just about as reasonable
and just about as sensible for the
teachers of Kansas to appoint the
State Superintendent; for the law
yers to appoint the judges; for the
insurance agents to appoint the
Supt. of Insurance and SO on.

noted. The people wanted some
one at the head of the state who
could and would cut down expenses
and George H. Hodges has been
more than equal to tn. task. The
remainder of the state ticket, and
the Congressional ticket as well, with
one or two exceptions, are composed
of competent, capable, deserving
candidates. Our county ticket is
especially strong, being composed
of candidates who are qualified to
fill with credit the positions they
are seeking. On the whole the
Democrats have ticket composed
of candidates we need not be asham-
ed of. Voters should remember.
however that party standard is on
ly raised in proportion to the politi.
cal standard of itsmembers, therefore
it is of no help to any party0to keep
men in public Office who are not in
every way worthy, simply because
they happen to be Republicans, Pro-
gressives, Democrats, or something
else. The action of the voters at
the August Primaries name the tick

partment. Galician front, November 6.
The Galician front is long, and Ga
licia is not by any means as small a
country as one might think. For this
reason date lines from the theater of
the European war are vague, geograph-
ically, and the best that may be said of
the present case is that the headquar-
tiers in question are not far from the
front, and somewhere in Galicia.
1t is considered unwise nowadays to
have correspondents too close to the
front, but there has been Improvement
in that respect. The two score of men
who have been trying hard to keep the
Austro Hungarian and German public
informed of what has been going on
have had several opportunities to pene-
trate as far as the artillery positions
during recent engagements, and some
of them are optimistic enough to be-
lieve that before long they will get
further.
AS officers express it. there is too
much at stake to give the correspond
ents the free hand they had once upon
time. Not alone is it considered
dangerous to say anything at all con-
corning movements of troops, but even
the news for home consumption must
be carefully watched, as a precaution
against the tattler and alarmist-men

RAILROAD TIES IN DEMAND.
Warning Nations Said to Be Seeking
Product Here.

Agents of the governments at war in
Europe are said to have been in nego-
tiation with the dealers in railroad ties
at this city for large quantity of ties
material to be shipped to Europe. but
no contract has as yet been made,
though it is expected that some of the
business will be obtained by local
firms. In that event steamships used to
carry the ties across the Atlantic would
be loaded at Alexandria,, where the
water is deep enough to accommodate
any vessel that can come up the river.
An authority on the RAILROAD tie bust
ness in this city says the Foreign gov
ernments already have placed orders
with southern tie handling concern for
a large quantity of hard pine ties to
be shipped from Florida and Georgia
ports, but it is expected, they also will
take oak and chestnuts ties. and in
that event the local handlers of the
material have a prospect of landing
good contracts that will enliven the
Industry, which has been dead in this
section for the past year.

Her mother had had no chance to
ask her to whom she was engaged.
Now she sat down stif1y in a chair
and wondered. She was a little, bent
shouldered old woman, with very
brown wrinlsled face. Her eyes, too
were of a faded. patient, tired brown
that betrayed inconsistencies.
There were several fellows who hung

months old when last she saw her
native land. and she candidly said
that what she heard of it didn't sound

mother had not missed him. Anna
was good and a pretty daughter. E.
But. oh, she was an American daugh-

she was not quite so clever or so in
dependent. Of course, most girls were
like that here in America. In the old
country She checked her COMPARE
son and got up to clear the breakfast
table. Anna was a dear girl. Not many
girls mothers had a comfortable fat
and nothing to worry about. And when
Anna got married she would still be
comfortable.
All. but would she? That was her
secret dread-a dread that had lain
heavy upon her for years. She had
tried not to hope that Anna would not
marry. That was selfish. Anna had. a

she remembered which one was Bert

TO OVERHAUL THE ST. JOHNS.
Colored Excursion Steamer Angler
Also to Be Repaired.

To prepare the big sidewhee1. steamer
st. Johns. belonging to the Colonial
Beach Company, for excursion service
on the Potomac in the coming spring
and summer. plans for extensive repairs
and Improvements to the steamer have
been prepared. The work will be done
during the winter. The repairs plan
ned for her big boilers are SO extensive
that when they are completed the boil
ers will be practically new and probably
will be allowed, under government in
spection, as much steam pressure as
when first built. The St. Johns always
has been one of the fastest sidewheel
steamers on the river. and with in
creased steam pressure it is expected
she will be found a mile or two faster
each hour and will be able to cut down
considerably her running time to Co
lonial Beach.
Mechanics are aboard the colored ex-
cursion steamer Angler, lying at her
wharf, foot of 9Th street southwest
overhauling the boiler and putting the
steamer in good order for service on
the route to River View and other
points. The work on the Angler will
be completed long before her time for
going into service.

overhauling of the wharf at Fort Hunt
and for some minor repair work to
the wharf at Fort Washington. and
this morning pile driver and outfit
was sent to Fort Hunt to start work.
The work to be done at Fort Hunt
consists of pulling and cutting of a
number of fender piles, driving new
piles about the wharf and to renew
a considerable portion of the timbers
and flooring of the structure. A week
or ten days will be required to COM

She tried to remember which of the

Anna had seemed to like best. There
was a pompous young chap with loud

wouldn't have mother-in-law around.
That possibility always doomed before

to her, but Anna might not have the
power to be as good as she would

Presently she cleared the table and
