occurred at Santa Fe, N. NJ. thirty-ive
years ago. It was several years pre-
vious to the first Pacific railroad and

the great plains by freight wagons or
sent around Cape Horn by sea.

PRINCIPLE is OLD.

Mr.. Tucker develops further
the idea that true democracy de-
mands that questions of local ad-
ministration and local policy be
determined by the local elector-
ate. He proceeds to a considera-
ton Of Local Option in the abb
stract:
"It is not a modern principle,
1t is not a principle invented for
the determination of the liquor
question. 1t is a principle as old
as the Anglo-Saxon race from
which we sprung, Undecided in its
institutions as a bulwark of lib
erty and a defense against
tyranny. .=
A great many people labor
under the impression that Local
Option Laws were invented for
the purpose of determining the
Liquor Question. This is a mis-
take. They are merely the APP.
plication of a great principle
which permeates our institutions,
and which are made to apply to
Liquor as well as to other things.

'This act was brought about by
the forceful sentiment of those
who believed that alcohol was de-
stroying the manhood of the
State. 1t would be of interest to
know from those who effected the
passage of the act by what al
chemy alcohol contained in wine
and beer is less destructive of Vlr-
ginia manhood than that which Is
found in whiskey and brandy.
That there is less in one than
there is in the other is no argu-
ment to him who believes that all
alcohol is destructive of manhood.
A vote for this act would deny
the right of any man to manu-
facture brandy or whiskey. and
would affirmatively grant the right
to those manufacturing wine and
beer to continue it. If I were a
prohibitionist I could not vote to
grant the right to any per-
son to manufacture beer and wine,
which I honestly believed were
destructive of human souls.

Selling Arguments Are Net Found IN
Name and Address of Mer-
chant.

There was a time. away back In the
beginning Of advertising, when the
seller who put into print, where the
buyer could see it, his name, the name
Of the commodity he dealt in, and the
address Of his place of business, was
considered to have made quite a
splurge in the way of publicity. And
there are mediums today, bidding and
patronage of twentieth century adver-
tisers, whose physical limitations pre-
clude them from doing much more
for the producer or distributor of mer-
chandise than his ancestor did for
himself in printing on old-fashioned
card"
You can't tell the news of a store
or enforce upon the consumer the
merits of a product with which he
is unfamiliar in 10 or 20 words, any
more than you could present a sell
ing argument over the telephone ii
the period of communication were
limited to a few seconds. Brevity-
in moderation-is good thing in
advertising; but the brevity imposed
by the characteristics Of some me-
diums is too apt to cut off the best
selling talk before it begins.
One of the many advantages of the
newspaper as means Of access to
the ear of the buyer is that it secures

REAL VALUE OF ADVERTISING
Former Doubters Convicted by the
Large Fortunes Made by Per
sistent Advertisers.

The number of merchants who will
sit down and seriously argue that 1t
does not pay to advertise is not half
as great today as it was five years
ago. The fortunes that have been
accumulated by successful advertis-
ers, the direct response Of the buying
public to judicious publicity, are such
apparent facts as to have convinced
large share of the former doubters.
But occasionally there Is merchant
who gets 1t into his head that there
is some method of getting at the pub
lie through some means other than
newspaper space.
There is some serious objection to
every such method. Bill board ad-
vertising runs up against the grow
ing hostility to the disf1guring OF
nature and our public streets. Many
people are resolving not to patronize
houses guilty of this disfguring form
of advertising. Furthermore, there Is
no chance to quote prices and de-
scribe goods In this advertising In
any rational way There Is no logic
in the bill board
The latter point applies to program
advertising 1t Is not advertising,
merely a mental jolt. 1t does nothing
to convince the reader that you have
bargains, and hand bill advertising
always looks cheap. 1t is the news
paper only that presents business
news in form acceptable to the peo-
pie. The merchant who advertises In
a newspaper of larger circulation
saves half the cost and doubles the re.

crops from destruction by insects-an
accomplishment quite within our
power.
Since the curculio and coddling
moth are probably responsible for over
80 per cent of all blemished and
windfall apples caused by insects
against which sprays are used, the
subject is one deserving careful study
by every successful apple grower.
In controlling the aforementioned
as we'll as other insects, apple grow
4rs should apply their arsenical sprays
at times when they will be of the
greatest possible service. There is a
limit to the number Of sprays which
can be proftably applied, especially
since in many cases it is also neces.
sary to give separate sprayings of
fungicides at times when no insecti
eide is required and wise versa. For
instance, it is generally conceded that
spraying with a fungicide Is neces
sary before the opening of the apple
bloom, for the purpose Of reducing
apple scab, though the addition of an
arsenical at that time can have no
effect in destroying the larvae of the
coddling moth and little, if any, value
against the curculio. Again, sprays OF
Bordeaux mixture, when used late ii
the season at the time of the appear
ance of bitter-rot are given at time
too late to be Of much value in pre-
venting damage from either of these
two insects.
A very important spraying is the
one just as the blossoms begin to
show the pink. At that time we get
the two kinds Of canker worms, bud
moth, leaf roller, aphis and curculio
But the most important spraying is
the one for the coddling moth, just
after the petals fall and after the bees
have stopped working on the blossoms
at that spraying we try to get poison
into the calyx of every apple. 1t is
generally understood that eggs are
laid on the leaf while the blossoms are
open. In a short time the eggs hatch
and the worm takes a bite or two
from the leaf, then crawls into the
calyx to eat and burrow into the young
apple. But with the poison in the

which has disgraced the contests
in other States will find no place
in the contests of Virginia.
Il sincerely hope that the peo-
pie of the State will not in this

which has been their protection
at all times in the history of the
past, and which has been sancti-
fled by the best blood of our
Southern country, freely spilled;

Comparatively Few Orchardists Who

There are comparatively few or

doubt the value of spraying apples
for the curculio and the coddling moth.
On the other hand there are many
who are, in reality, not protecting
their orchards from these two cardi-
nal apple pests as is possible, or, in
deed, practicable. Undoubtedly the
worst enemy of the apple crop is the
coddling moth-the insect that causes
the wormy apple. This pest is taking
altogether too much toll from the ap-
