An Object Lesson.

The contenders over the liquor
question in Virginia do not seem to
appreciate the West Virginians but
ting in. The fact seems to be that
those opposing statewide prohibition
are searching through states which
have adopted mere makeshift laws in
fake efforts to abolish the liquor traf-
fic instead of taking their examples
where prohibition is accomplishing
something. In West Virginia there is
general satisfaction with the new
law. We have released from the luna
tic asylums number of dipsoma-
MACS, who have gone forth to uscfufl-
ness now that there is no nagging
temptation ever present before them.
Families have been reunited since the
father can now resist the temptation
for liquor, because it is out of sight.
Men have secured positions who were
too much addicted to the liquor to
hold job while intoXicants were sold
on every street. Inquire where you
may and you will find that rentals
and property values have not decreas-
ed as was prophesied by advocates OF
the traffic. Then there are the empty
jails, which are the greatest argu.
ment in favor of prohibition. If the
Roanoke Times really wants to en-
tighten its readers it should send it:

"Home, Sweet Home" touching the
second best chord of the human
heart was written by some obscure
individual, parhaps far from home,
thinking of the little country chapel,
the meadow, and the deep tangled
wildwood, where late in autumn he
had climbed the grapevines and ga

where at nightfall he and his
faithful old fee dog had freed many

other scenes he just couldn't help
writing, "How dear to my heart are
the scenes of my childhood"
Man never attains such greatness
in this world that he forgets the
days, the scenes and companions of
his youth.
Bob Taylor, in his rambles about
the old homestead, points out many
familiar spots which are insignif-

great bunch of them on one stalk.
Would it not pay to clip these extra
shoots? Around the first or main
ear several minor shoots may be
found. On other stalk there appears
a shoot promising to make a fair
ear of corn, yet there appears two
others, one above and one below. The
size of the stalk seems to make little
difference. We would like to have the
opinion of the C. V. News expert
menter. Peaches and apples are OF
fine quality and plentiful. The dry
season had much to do with ripening
the peaches. A peach is not much for
water.
