SQUAD RANCH AT WRSO;
MARTIN OPENS UP NEW CITY

The forthcoming town. or city, of
Nirso has scored its first enterprise
1t may not be known just where Virso
Is. or rather where il is going to be
IT is going to bc at the point where
three great railways bob i'm together
Just up there in Luncnburg County
where the Southern Railway and the
NirSinian Hallway butt in together
and where the Norfolk and Western
new short line will also butt in. Right
there, where Nirso will command the
situation. being right in between the
lines of three great railway tracks.
there is going to grow some great in
dustrial enterprises
one man has already seen the OPEN
inSs of the situation, and | guess he
may be named as the pioneer of the
situation. Anyhow. Harry c. Martin
is the man | am talking about He is
a young man who spent much of his
life in Cook County, Illinois. that is
TO say in and about Chicago. Just
how he acquired his taste for pigeons
and squads and the like of that | do
not know. but he acquired IL all the
same. and he made study OF the
squad business and the poultry bust
ness. His studies convinced him that
Virginia was the greatest country in
which TO prosecute that business. Said
MI Martin 10 me the other day, Il
made up my mind several years ago
that the poultry and pigeon. or squad
business opened UP fine field for
energy and all the like of that. |
started out to look for good location
for that kind Of business and l think
have found 1t right here in Virginia,
where the climate is so favorable"
Mr.. Martin Is very modest and he
would not say any more, but from
other folks | learned that he had
bought five acres OF good land Just
on the border of what is to be the
city of Nirso. and he is doing some
right smart hustling in clearing up
that land with the view of making II
pigeon or squad farm. Mr.. Martin
already has big contracts with New
York hotels TO sell them squads. and
his idea is to make early morning
shipments from Nirso every day in the
year. About this SQUAD farm | am
going to have something more to say
ere long. and ii looks as If thei, is
going 10 be great deal more TO say
about Nirso in the near future

friends with a torrent of technical
medical phrases. In their opinion
Dale would never hear again.
1t was anguish to Dale to realize
that all the hopes, plans and ambi-
tons of his young life were utterly
blighted, his future blasted, the pres

his college course. Music, his main
forte, was forever shut out for him.
All the dreary journey home he had
but n thought; how would Myrtle
take it-pretty loving Myrtle Parr, his
fiancee? The news. of his calamity
had reached Upton, however, before
he arrived and Dale soon had an add
ed grief to endure.
Mr.. Parr refused to allow Myrtle. to
see Dale. In fact he had sent her
away to a relative, where he declined
to tell. In a blunt practical business
like way ne informed Dale that 1t
would be folly to encourage his daugh-
ter to wed q man in a condition even
worse than that of a cripple. In a
measure Dale acknowledged the wis
dom of this, for his business chances
in the world would certainly be linn
tied.
There was one ray Of comfort amid
his loneliness and grief. however. He
received a broken-hearted note from
Myrtle. She loved him still. she
would love him till the end! No mat
ter what her father might say-deaf,
blind, q p~auper-she would marry
Dale the day he asked her, in def

But that sacrifice of her youth,
beauty and happiness Dale felt that
he could never consent to ask Of
Myrtle. She remained away from
Upton at her fathers mandate and.
Dale fell into a dreary humdrum mode
of existence.
Time hung heavily on his hands.
The doctors had insisted on rest and
recreation, for a few months at least.
He tried fishing, he would take long

A Sunny Smile.

W. ~
One of life's little marvels Is the
wonderful effect that a smile Of the

If we only knew just how much good
it may do, we should always try to

Some Of the best work in this
world is done by people who would be
amazed to know that they were doing
anything out of the ordinary routine.
and this invigorating and g~laddening
office of smiling kindly is an example.
Therefore, as the task is n within
the power of all. let US carry it out
well and cheerfully.
The girl who goes through the day
with a kind word and a CHEEKY smile
for all whom she knows has much the
same good effect on others as has sun

them for ourselves.
