Women and Gowns.

And now the women Of Amer
lea are up against 1t.
They must design their own
gowns.
France is war-ridden and the
masters of fashion in Paris can
no longer supply the demand.
France has our sympathy in its
troubles, but we hail the day
when American women must de-
pend upon their own initiative in
the matter of dress, for when
American women undertake to do
a thing 1T IS DONE.
We have depended upon Paris
too long.
We have accepted the hideous
creations that have been handed
US without a murmur, simply be-
cause they bore the French label.
This is an opportune time for
the women of this country to use
their own brains, and use them
to good purpose. They need no
coaching from other countries.
1t is safe to predict that when
they do begin the designing OF
their gowns we will have a reve-
lation in the matter of femenine
attire.
Common sense and decency will
return, and it will not be at the
expense of personal appearance OF
style.
The future gowns to be de-
signed by American women will
be just as smart and just as sty'
lish as any they have ever worn,
with the added advantage of rad
iating refinement and gentility,
American women are the most
beautiful on earth, are noted fol
their intellectual attainments,
and are possessed of an indomi'
table spirit which knows no fail
ure.
The designing of their own
gowns will be but an incident in
their brilliant careers, for even
now the world is PROSTATE Nt the
feet of American womanhood.

SiIOs $50 and Up.

Gus Lundgren, manager of the
Long-Bell yard in this city, tells
us he has 'em all skinned on the
silo proposition this year. He
says he can sell silos from $50 up.
He has the agency for the Tulsa,
Unadilla, Tung-Lok, Cement and
Common Sense kinds, and Can
furnish them in any and all
sizes.
Now is the time to figure with
him. He is going to be known
as "Silo Gus" before the summer
is over. He says he can sell a
fine 75-ton silo for 500. Just
think of that, you fellows who
are keeping a good bunch OF
cows. Or if you want bigger
ones, he can furnish them, too.
No matter how good a crop
you may have this year, build a
silo. Give your stock rich green
feed next winter-get 100 per cent
feeding value out of everything
you put in the silo. You know
it will pay. If you doubt it, ask

Commerce and Guns.
By Major F. W. Barber, Spe'
cial Correspondent.

The press and commercial as
sociations of the United States
are making much ado over the
opportunity afforded for an ex-
pansion of the commerce of the
United States because of the bus
mess paralysis Of Europe.
Whole pages of the metropoli-
tan dailies are filled with the
wonderful opportunities ahead OF
us as nation.
The ascendency of the United
States to a world predominating
power is hailed from all sides as
an accomplished fact.
We are pictured by the opti-
mists as a nation at peace with
the world and with not a ripple
in the skies. =.
The possibilities are indeed
great-provided we approach
them with some degree of wis
dom.
We must not expect foreign
governments to quietly submit to
our absorption of their commerce.
They will unquestionably seek
means for regaining that which
they have lost and we have
gained, possibly even to the ex-
tent of involving US in war in an
endeavor to cripple us.
And there lies our menace.
We are not in position to face
such a war. We have neither
the guns nor the ammunition for
equipping a large army such as
would be required for repelling
an invasion by a first class
power.
Foreign governments can put
millions of troops in the field,
but we can arm and equip only a
few hundred thousands.
Is it reasonable to suppose that
these governments would submit
to the loss of their commerce
without striking back?
If we are to build merchant
marine we must have the means
of protecting it once it is afloat'
We do not need a large stand
ing army, but we do need guns
and ammunition for use in emer'
gency, for without these we
would be helpless.
Congress should supply arms
and equipment sufficient for al
least a million men, for with a
less number than this we would
have no assurance whatever Of
safety.
Our trade expansion might
even prove the boomerang that
would eventually plunge us into
a long and costly war.

Look Yourself
!. In The Face.

The reaper of death sweeping
over Europe brings to our mind
a thought worthy of more than
casual consideration.
Let us look ourselves in the
face, and think-think for the
benefit of humanity, for the veal
of posterity:
In all parts of the country
schools are opening for the fall
and winter terms, and much OF
the future will depend upon the
training of the youth of today.
Never in our history was there
a time when it was more impera'
tive that hasty passions and vim
dittive temperaments be curbed
and eradicated.
Never was there 4 time when
the incubation of brotherly love
and a consideration for others
was more urgently required.
The youth of today will be the
men of tomorrow, and as we
train them now so will they be
then.
The burden rests heavily upon
us,
We expect the teacher in the
school to transform our child in
to a man of learning and honor
and integrity, but do we stop to
consider that more depends upon
the parent than upon the edu'
Gator?
The one cannot succeed with
out the cooperation of the other,
but the two working earnestly
and jointly will accomplish won
derful results.
We should think before speak.
ing. Harsh words and family
jars in the presence of a child
give it its first lesson in unruli'
ness and puts a sharp edge to ar
awakening temper. 1t is natural
for the infant to copy the exam
pie of the parent.
AS we expect much from the
teacher, let US give equally Of
our own store of patience and
consideration.
Infancy demands kindness,
gentleness and sympathy-not
the austere aloofness of age, moi
the GOODNESS of indifference.
A child is susceptible to train
ing, but when it reaches mans
estate opportunity has passed il
BY. Shall we heed the lessons o.
a world calamity and face thu
duty that confronts us2 =
Shall we look ourselves in thu
face7

CHILD BURNED, THEN
THROWN INTO CREEK

+ TOWNSVILLE, VA. Feb. 4.-~-Prob-
ably the most cruel murder which
ever occurred in this part of the State
was committed in the west end of
Lee county. just east of the village
of Ewing. Friday, when a negro man
who gives his name as Will Galloway
and his wife killed a four-year-old
boy by burning and drowning. The
child was found dead in the creek
some time after 1t had been placed
there, and an investigation was at
once started, which resulted in the ar
rest of the negro and his wife.
When first Appreciated on the rail-
road, some fifteen miles east of Ewing
they denied any knowledge of the
child or the killing. but after being
taken to the scene of the murder they
confessed, each, however trying to
lay the larger part of the blame on
the other.
The story Of Galloway is suhstan-
TALLY that he and his wife were go
ing from Stoney Fork, Tennessee. to
Dorchester in Wise county, Va, and
were walking; that they had with
them the four-year- boy, who was
child of his wife's cousin. They
got tired of the child because of hav-
ing TO carry ii most of the time. and
after talking it over with his wife,
they agreed to get rid of 1t. He un-
dressed the boy and held ii while his
wife tied its hands and feet and they
then placed it on the fire which they
had built up, then fearing that the
cries of the child would attract at
tention, he took 1t up from the fire
and threw II into the creek. which
was nearby, and then they came on
away and left IL there. Galloway and
his wife were landed in Jail here to
await the action of the grand jury
at the next term of the Circuit court
The negro is a stranger In this county
He has talked freely of the crime
since being brought to jail.
