SOME MEN-AND HEARST

We referred recently TO the experience
oil Mr.. Mclean of the Cincinnati EN-
quirer" in attempting to create anti
Wilson sentiment in Ohio. Hearst has
Just tried the same thing i'm baser way
and got an even harder Jolt. In the
early fighting at Vera Cruz one OF our
marines, an eighteen-year-ol Georgia
boy named Randolph Summerlin, was
killed. Whereupon Hearst's Atlanta
Georgian" tried to turn its own sneaking
profit out of the tragedy by wiring its
correspondent at Willacoochee as follows:
PLEASE interview Summerlin's father
on uselessness of sacrifice. II United
States is now to accept mediation, does
he not thing it outrageous to have To
send boys to be killed, and the Govern
ment decide fighting is wrong? Please
send good statement"
Hearst's employee forgot that he was
sending this stuff to men OF Georgia.
Here's the answer he got
Referring to telegram to George w
Melton, beg to say my brother, Randolph
Summerlin, was killed at Vera Cruz in
defense OF our country's honor. We
favor President Wilson and the Demo
cratic Administration, and Randolph has
four brothers and father who are ready
and willing to make the same sacrifice il
called upon. We think the Wilson policy
is absolutely right. l.. w. Summerlin. -
And the local paper chimed in with
this telegram to the Atlanta journal
mot Hearst paper):
"B. F. Summerlin, father, and L. w.
Summerlin, brother OF Randolph, killed
at Vera Cruz, take the 'Georgian's' re.
quest as gross insult, not only TO his
relatives and friends, but to the entire
country. II we could not be loyal to our
country, would move out.-Willacoochee
Record"
Hearst had better stick to the safe old
policy of manufacturing any necessary
good Statements" 1t would be less
hard on self esteem.-Coller' Weekly.

THE RESULT

The reports which reached here would
indicate that there were not as many
turned ont to work the county roads as
were generally expected. Many causes
might be assigned for the lack OF interest
that was taken in the good roads move
ment. No doubt the farmers were quite
busy on the farm, and many OF them felt
that they could not spare the time from
the farm. There were quite few OF the
farmers who got the idea, which was en-
tirely erroneous, that the ones who were
TO receive the benefits of the good roads
were those owning automobiles. In fact,
report was In circulation that the auto
mobile owners had petitioned the Gov
ernor To designate by proclamation two
days for the people to work the roads.
OF course, this was purely fictitious and
in all probability was started by some
wag. IL had its effect i'm some quarters.
However, taken all in all, there was a
fairly good turn out and much work ac-
complished. The roads in many parts of
the county have been put in good
condition.
We take it that those who failed to
respond to the Governors call, after they
observe the amount of good work done
on the roads that the next time they will
respond to the call and be on hand. A
good start has been made, and 1t is a
safe guess that in the future better work
will be done. There is not citizen in
the county that does not want good roads.
And when they thoroughly understand
that this good roads movement is not for
the particular benefit OF any one class OF
our citizens, but for the benefit of all, we
may confidently expect them all to fall
in line.
We trust that the readers of THE ARGUS
have read and fully digested the excel
lent article on road building from the
pen of Maj. Ed A. Bennett, which was
published in our issue of last week. If
you have not read it 1t will pay you to
read it, as Major Bennett treats on 1t
historically.

Facilities For Panama Tnaffic

To pass a vessel through all the locks it
mas been estimated will take about three
hours. The entire journey of the vessel
through the canal is estimated as ranging
from ten to twelve hours, according TO
the size OF the ship and rate of speed at
which it will travel.
Many vessels will pass through the
locks at night. The lighting, therefore,
OF the waterway was an important
problem. The canal Is lighted from end
to end by electricity and gas, the latter
being employed in towers and bcacons in
the less accessible places. The most
powerful lights are those marking the sea
channels at the Atlantic and Pacific en-
frances, and these are visible at a distance
Of from twelve to eighteen miles.
The most modern and approved termi-
nal facilities are offered TO vessels. in
Guiding powerful tugs ready at each ocean
entrance; adequate buildings for the dis
charge and taking on of freight, and sup
ply warehouses where ships may purchase,
at reasonable stated prices, coal, oil, fresh
water, and food. There will be, more
over, complete telegraph and telephone
and mailing facilities. No private or
commercial wireless installations will be
permitted in the zone However, the
wireless stations under the jurisdiction Of
the Navy Department will accept private

About that SiIo

More than one hundred automobiles
will be sold in Preston county this year.
About half of these go to farmers. 1t
seems strange that so many of these
farmers feel that silo is too costly for
them. Corn Is hard to raise on our hill
sides; therefore, what is grown should be
carefully preserved in silos.
Silage can be put up at less than half
the cost OF hay. One ton OF silage occu-
pies only lilo as much space as an equal
weight OF hay. One acre of good hay
will make about J. Is tons; one acre of
good corn will make ten tons OF ensilage.
Corn can be put in n silo for about one
half as much as it costs to cut it, shuck il,
and haul the ears and fodder separately.
Sllos may be built of wood, cement,
tile, or iron. One material is about as
good as another. If well put up, any Of
these silos will keep ensilage almost per.
iectly. Good wooden silos, with tight
hoops and an occasional coat of paint,
should last twenty years. A 10x30 wooden
sllo can be bought in car lot for about
Sl3O. 1t can be erected at cost not ex-
ceeding $25. The tile silo of the same
size will cost about 1886 erected. A l6x35
foot silo, holding 142 tons, can be built
OF cement for about 1915. Wooden forms
can be built for $25 to SIS; these can be
used over and over. Enough cement to
build 100-ton silo can be bought for
about $50. If sand, gravel and labor are
all easily gotten, the cash outlay need be
very little.
The way to get silos cheap is tor a
group OF farmers in community to CO.
operate and buy carload. Don't wait
for the other fellow, but determine to
build one this summer. Neighbors will
soon fall in line. There should be at
least carload cold in every district i'm
the county. No farmer who winters as
many as twelve cattle should be without
silo. Ask the farmer who has one how
he likes it, There are already many silos
In Portland district; prospective builders
should visit some of the farmers who are
already using silos. If you think of
building a silo, let me know. BY bring
ing the different buyers together we can
save money.

Reduction In High Cost Of Living
Editor Argus:

Editor Argus:
AS workingman | would like to in
form the editor of the Preston County
Journal that there has been decided
reduction in the high cost of living with
in the last year. Suits of clothes that

reduction in women's and children's APP
parel. We are now able TO have eggs and
butter for which we pay fifteen and twenty
cents respectively, two of the staple neces.
sites for the working class.
Kindly give us change of diet, Mr..

otyped: "When are they going to reduce
the high cost of living?" is so puerile

You have terse way of stating facts

there has been a graveyard silence sur
