Herbert Quick. editor of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pab-
lished at Springfield, Ohio. ia makins a
fight for the elimination OF the dog las
an enemy of the sheep industry. Dogs
do millions OF dollars of injury to sheep
every wear. Mr.. Quick suggests that no
tax be imposed on dogs now owned, but
that any man who acquires a. new dog in
the future be taxed sufficiently TO make
him hesitate about owning dog. This
arrangement. he thinks, would meet the
obvious necessity OF taking account of
the great natural attraction between dogs
and men.
MIR. James Bowman of West Virginia

ing occurrence which shows the hold fl,e
dog has on the people. His letter shows

Sunday It gave us an opportunity 10 rest
or attend church as we wished.
On Monday morning we went to the
White House expecting TO scc President
Wilson, but because of illness we were
unable to see him, hat met Mrs. Wilson
who greeted us kindly. That afternoon
we enjoyed the best trip, perhaps. of any
during our stay in Washington a visit to
Mount Vernon, the old homo of Wash.
ington. We took passage ON a steam
ship and it was a delightful trip. Mount
Vernon is situated 10 mules south OF
Washington on the right bank of the
Potomac river. The estate originally con
tanned 500 acres, but the house and 200
acres OF the land around il was bought
10y the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association
in 1889 for $500, 900, and has been re-
stored as nearly as possible TO their con
dition in Washington's life time. In az.
cending from the river TO the house the
visitor passes the plain brick tomb of
Washington, containing behind an iron
grating, two sercophag with the remains
of General Washington and his wife
Martha. The house contains an album
dance OF interesting relics. among them
hs library, his gun and powderhorn and
his sword, but the most notable, perhaps.
ia the key TO the French Bnstle. The
coach house contains Wnshington's
carriage and in the gardens are trees
planted 10y his hands.
The next point Of interest visited was
the Capitol building which crowns Capi.
tol Hill. This is one Of the most heauti-
ful public buildings in the world costing
about Sl3,0O0,00 While there we
appeared before the Committee of Agri.
culture, and in the afternoon visited
Congress while in session. The next two
days were spent in visiting other places
ot interest, among them the Navy Yard,
the National Museum and the Zoolopical
Park. In the National Museum IL To be
seen many interesting relics, and speci-
mems of historic animals gathered from
all parts of the world, and the Geological
Park contains every known animal that
IL living.
On Thursday morning We started ON
our journey home, and after being on the
train all day arrived at Oakland. This
ended our Free trip TO Washington"
but we shall eyer remember il as being
the most interesting trip we have eyer
had, and icel that IL gives us higher
appreciation for our great country-the
greatest in the world by beng able to
see our National Capitol and witness
some of the great things we possess.
wish to express nv thanks TO all who
have aided me, and hope our next state
winner will be from Preston county.
Very truly,

NUMBER 10
WILSON ADMINISTRATION
Ono OF Aehievement-Not Year
Old and has Accomplished Much
Reckoning tho Party Pledges with
Startling Rapidly

That this is one of the greatest adj
mistrations that the American people
have ever been blessed with can easily
bc asscrtained from review of the ac-
complishments thereof. These have been
succiuctly summarized by the Charleston
Gazette as follows;
The Wilson administration is not yet
year old. and IL has this record.
/. A fair honest tariff law.
.. An income tax law.
3. world-beating currency law.
!. A comprehensive administration
aud extension OF the parcels post.
o, A physical examination OF railroads.
Now keep your eye on Washington and
watch the followine
(a) A government owned railroad into
Alaska.
(b) An appropriation to help the
farmers in each state in applying yadern
farming methods.
tc) National highways built by the
government
CD Farmers banks TO help them raise
money to inaugurate modern farming at
n low interest and on long time.
(c) Fair, not unreasonable strenghten-
ing OF the sherman antitrust law.
DO the pcaple appreciate such devotion
To duty such fidelity 20 political pledges?
Already the record stands without
parallel. Many years ago, the people of
England voted 10 give Ireland it's inde-
pendence. The question was again sub
mitted TO that people with similar re-
suit The matter has been debated IN
parliament all OF one session since the
last popular verdict, and still the people
OF England are patiently trusting their
administration. Look at the difference.
The American administration IL less than
a year old, and il has already dome more
in the way of redeeming its pledges than
was ever done before in any two adminis-
trations Of four wears each.
The representatives of the domin6nt
party have gotten together and have made
the redemption Of party pledges the battle
cry. They have been careful, but they
have been faithful and honest. II the
entire program can be carried out at this
session. the result will live in history az
the crowning proof OF the efficiency OF
popular government, and the standard
OF political honor. But it will also test
the metal Of the people. II such record
can be turned down, then what's the
use?"

That Lambs Hair Life Shampoo is all
that has ever been claimed for It by its
discoverer and by those who have watch
ed the work OF this wonderful remedy is
now being proved Tor the Third time in

in restoring the hair of the Shaver lad,
which was recorded in The Times several
weeks past, Mr.. Lamb made his second

the hair of Mr.. Murphy Of this city in a
wonderful manner.
The third public test is now being made.

this city. The tonic can now be secured
at any Fairmont barber shop.

the same in cantaloupes. How is this for
q garden?
This is fine stock country, also hogs
and cattle do we'll in this section. Cattle
live on the range the year round and
need very little attention. Hogs 1--we on
the range but do better kept in fields and
fed or pastured. The crop that Is best
and cheapest for them here IL peanuts.
Corn does very WELL some farmers here

just suit his fancy. We have frequently
met him on the street since that time and
IL is amusing 90 note the look Of surprise
on the old fellows face that we are still
in existence regardless of the fact that hc
stopped his paper. Some day--and IL
won't bc long. cithcr-thnt old man will
turn mp his toes. Ills heart will be stiled
forever. Neighbors and friends will fol-
low his liieless remains 10 the silent city
and lay them 10 rest among the flowers.
An obituary will be published in these

good neighbor and beloved citizen he
was-which the recording angel will
overlook for charity's sake-and in -
very short time he will be forgotten. As
he lies ont there in the cold graveyard
wrapped in the silent slumber Of death,
he will never know that the last kind
