Exhibits of Farm Products
At the Stock Show

Cannot Highland raise a variety
of grains, grasses, fruits and vege-
tables as we'll as good live stock?
Then let us do our best to make
the farm products of Highland an
interesting feature of the show.
Where there is will, there is a
way" :,
Each farm that exhibits should
have variety of grains, fruits;
vegetables and grasses arranged
together with name of exhibitor or
farm. We are confident that a
good place will be prepared for the
exhibits.
Don't think shat someone else
will have something better than
YOU, for sure are all inclined to
think that way sometimes. Don't
be afraid you will fail, for often
times, through failure comes sue
cess.
Prepare to raise good potatoes,
pumpkins, beans, sweet corn, held
corn, beets, caulihower and the
like, a sheaf of wheat, oats, rye
buck wheat or some or all of them
cure some of your best clover, tim
othv or mixed hay and put up In
small bales or simply tied with a
small wire. Prepare to have some
fine fruit coming on by thinning on
tree or vine and use some spray II
necessary.
Prizes should be awarded for
the three best exhibits of farm
products taken collectively, and
different prizes for individuals pro,
duets in each of some or all OF the
collections.
But will there be enough money
put up for the different prizes to
Justify us in trying for oneot them?
1t has heen suggested that one
hundred dollars be divided into
prizes of fifty, twenty-five ana ten
dollars for the best farm collections
anc manner of display, and the re-
naming fifteen dollars to be dlvld-
ed for individual prizes. These
latter prizes may be made up OF
dononations such as merchandise,
seed corn, small implements, other
seeds etc.
Now cannot the good citizen OF
Highland and those interested out
side the county give voluntary con-
tributions to this cause? The edl-
tor will resolve contributions and
ceipt them by listing them in the
Recorder each week until the
amount is raised.
Let us raise this money at once,
so we can get up some interest IN
the work of preparation.

The old Mans Tip

"Bill, my bov." wrote the old

don't fergit that you wuz raised to

to whar you air; an when you're
a-whirlin' them golf sticks, don't
fail to remember that it wuz the OIL
axe handle chat helped you to
git to 'em; an when you
leave fer yer home vacation,
don't fergit to leave yer high falutin
airs behind you. fer efe you fetch
anyo of 'em with you I'll wear out
more seasoned hickory on you than
you ever dreamed growed in the

Washington Letter

Washington, ID. u. 20 rresl-
dent Wilson's announced plan to
review the fleets of the civilized
world at Hampton Roads and then
to lead the fleets through the Pana.
ma Canal at the official opening OF
that waterway, is the fruition OF
the plan outlined by Senator Swan
son of Virginia as far back as 1910.
As matter of fact. on January
ID 1911, Senator Swanson intro
duced in the Senate joint resolu-
ton containing paragraph:
LAS the completion of this great
waterway connecting the two
great oceans will be an epoch IN
the history of the world and OF
special interest to the commerce OF
all nations, the president, i'll his IN
vitation to the foreign nations.
shall invite their representatives
and their fleets to rendezvous at
Hampton Roads, Virginia, and
from thence the representatives
shall proceed to the city of Wash
ington, there to be formally well
coined by the President; and at
the conclusion of the ceremonies at
Washington the president shall
proceed to Hampton Roads and
there review the assumpled Fleets
of the world as they start on their
voyage to the exposition city -
1t is of peculiar interest to Vlr-
ginia that the Swanson plan has
been endorsed and will be followed
out by the president, the Secretary
of the Navy and practically the
whole membership of the presi-
dents Cabinet. The arrangement
will not only advertise to the entire
world the excellence and the ad-
vantagas of the harbor at Hampton
Roads, but it will result in great
financial advantage to a great part
Of southern Virginia.
The nine countries which already
have signifed their intention to
send battIeshps to take part in the
cruise from Hampton Roads to San
Francisco are Argentine, Cuba,
France, Germany, Great Britain.
Italy, Japan, Portugal and Russia
The squadrons of these countries
and of the other powers which will
also be represented in the greatest
naval review modern times will be
assembling in Hampton Roads from
December, 1914, until March, 1915
Naturally, this will result in a
tremendous advertising boom for
Hampton Roads and Virginia, and
incidentally, the presence of the Of
fcers and men in the harbor will be
great aid to the business interests
of the cities of Va.
In 1910, when public interest first
began to manifest itself in the COM
pletion of the canal, Senator Swan
son became convinced that Hamp-
ton Roads should be selected as the
logical starting point for the trip
to the Canal. After consultation
with the Department, he was per
suaded more than ever that this
harbor should be made the mecca
for rhe fleets of the world. There
upon, he introduced his resolution
in the Senate, and his efforts to
have the plan adopted have been
unremitting.
The formal announcement of the
Secretary of the Navy that the
president will review the fleets OF
the world in Hampton Rroads IN
sight of Virginia shores marks the
successful end of the Senator's

There is no Disgusting the fact
that q fight is on for better roads
and for more tisfactory appllca,
ton of road funds. and there is nc
reason why such reform should not
be fastened and amicably brought
about by the cooperation Of all
interested.
Unfortunately, when present
methods and conditions are critics.
ed and condemned some road oificl-
ais are inclined to view it as per
sonal attack, and out of it grows Il
spirit of resistance, i'll feeling and
opposition.
There is not state in the union
where the question is not a peril
nent or dominant one at this time,
and. to say the least, it is most un-
fortunate and unprogresslve that
any county in Old Virginia should
stand divided on the subject OF
hesitate to take the matter prompt
ly in hand.
Here in Highland we have an
antiouate1, wasteful and unsatis'
factory system of road-bulld'ne
and up-keep. He who denies it is
wilfully blind as to actual facts
Many are merely tolerating it, but
all thoughtful, philosophical citl-
zens are agreed that our system
must be abolished, either IN toto
or materially changed, and all who
are in any way connected w:th
present. day road work must ee'
rid of the idea that blow at / ell
DDS is a blow at them. Why moi
co.operate and meet the issue anc
needed reform with a solid front?
There can be no doubt as to the
attitude of a large majority OF ta1
PAYERS as to these needed reforms
and there is no one step that woulc
throw more light on the situation
or furnish such convincing evidence
as that recently taken in Bath ano
still more recently ordered by the
supervisors of Augusta, viz: A
thorough, painstaking investlga-
ton 10 ascertain just what per cent
of road funds is actually applied
We have seen no report from the
Augusta order, probably the inves
tigation is not yet complete, but
Mr.. J. NJ. Byrd, one of the recent
turnpike reviewers, informed the
Recorder that in Bath it was founc
that 40 per cent. of the public
funds was all that the roads actually
received, the other 60 per cent.
presumably going into the pockets
of contractors.
What would such investigation
show in Highland? Will the Boarc
order it? Has any one just RICH
to object? The road contractors
are invariably laboring men-wlll-
ING to work for wages; the roads
need every dollar available--mucf
more in fact-and it is the lnten
of the law and the right of the tax
payer that every dollar be actually
applied-earned, if you choose
by those doing the work. Is this
the case? Many claim it is not
The Board of Supervisors can as
certain the facts for the taxpayers
and the information would assured
" be of interest to them as county
officials. Bear in mind that such
a request is not made with view
to showing up road contractors
in a bad light" but rather to lei
the taxpayers sec whether OF
not our system of road working is
failing at this particular point.

Chief interest in the platform con-
tention is still over the attitude likely
to be taken by the Democrats on the
prohibition question. There Is con-
siderable talk that the Republicans
and Democrats will agree to announce
the same plank upon this question and
that both will merely declare for sub
hitting constitutional amendment to
the vote of the people. The home
rule Democrats, however, are claim
ing strength sufficient to defeat even
this compromise declaration and. II
they cannot secure home rule dec
laration, that they can prevent any
declaration whatever being made. The
prohibitionists. however, still claim
votes enough to put through their pro
1ibition program.
