In an address to the employees OF
the Roanoke Railway and Electric
Company in Roanoke Thursday night.
President l.. f. Johnson. OF the Norfolk
and Western. dwelt At length upon the
relation of railway employees. par
ticularly trainmcn, and the public. Fol-
lowing extracts
Common courtesy is the business of
every man who meets the public. in any
capacity, be ii ever so humble.
In handling the public we must all
take the public as it is and not as 1t
should be-
Those of us who come in contact with
the public can do much towards edu-
eating ii by example of what the pub
lie should be.
the public Will meet lot of mean peo-
Pile.
Nearly all people are mean at some
time. but few people are mean at all
times.
The people who are mean in the
morning are frequently kind enough at
night
Doctors say that the reason people
are more irritable in the morning, or
after they have been sleeping, Is that
their blood pressure is low; their cir
culation is not normal.
People who are unreasonable or who
give way to their temper in the morn
ing are frequently sorry for il by night.
The prosperity Of every institution
patronized by the public is absolutely
dependent upon the good Will OF the
individuals who comprise the public.
Our colleges to-day are turning out
great many civil engineers. hut we
find there is n much greater demand for
civil conductors.
Returning good for evil is not just a
religious law, it is a natural law-it
is returning efficiency for deficiency.

For half century the First National Bank

Verses by Virginians
The True Ego.

She said she did not love him
The las with night-black hair;
Her passion failed to kndle,
And so they could not pair.
But he Ike patient wooer,
In faith tried much to win
The maiden sweet but tickle
That ackeness her sin.
Her love was not another's,
No; she was fancy free.
Bvt like the April weather,
A changeful lass was she
Il tell you now. SIR wooer.

your time You are bat wasting
We two can never we'd.
And then with heart full heavy
Tor steps that bore him way,
He pondered long and weary.
For he'd now had his day
But if--he dared hope hardly
Some golden day and sweet
Old Time would give him prestige
And bring hsr TO his feet
eSss~
Then came another wooer,
Reluctance chilled his suit;
Did Number Two her GOODNESS
TO Number One impute
And go this wooer boldly,
Assailed the others name.
And him without restriction
Did heartily defame.
Again her eyes went flashing.
And Anglers darts we're cast;
she'd brook ct such derlsion,
So he was bid avast
Forthwith she penned a letter
Addressed TO Number One

As TO Travelling Expenses.

Editor Virgnian:
Sir,-Eor the benefit Of the travelling statesmen
Of Virginia, / will thank you to answer IL you
can the following questions and give salts
factory reason with your answer:
why Is II that North Carolina can do tho
same kind OF business much less expense
than Virginia can TO the travelling men? VIZ
In North Carolina the minimum baggage
rate is ten conts per hundred In Virginia the
minimum excess baggage rate is fifteen cents
per hundred which is fifty per cent more than
IN North Carolina the same kind OF ba ggage.
and the same identical line of railway run
ming through the states, with the same crew OF
men.
In North Carolina the minimum excess bag
gage collection is ten cents per hundred, while
n Virginia the minimum baggage col
lection is twenty-five cents for twenty-five
pounds mp to 90 ponds, which makes 1850
per cent in the favor of North Carolina. Tho
difference does stop at this point eftner
North Carolina allows 200 pounds free excess
baggage while Virginia only allows $50 pounds
free Here is difference in the favor Of North
Carolina of 3s la per cent In free baggage
against Virginia
Now, Mr.. Editor. TO one travelling making
trip through Virginia and North Carolina
only once, IN twelve months, the difference in
dollars and cents would not amount to a very
large sum, but suppose you estimate this diff
ference in. the cost to thousands of statesmen
ma king their trips every thirty DAYS during the
year. The difference in the favor OF the old
North state against the Old Dominion would
be simply appalling
I make appeal the whosessle merchants
Iof Richmond to come to our assistance and
help TO find remedy for this grievance placed
upon the travelling statesmen OF Virginia

SUDDEN CHANGE OF
FEED is DANGEROUS
Dietetic Disturbances Cause Gen.
eraI Disorder and Several
Dead Sheep Are Found.

Loss of a few lambs in the feed lots
is to be expected. But this loss in
some instances is far greater than 1t
should be.
When range lambs are placed on
a fattening ration the change OF feed
is so sudden that dietetic disturbances
cause a general disorder and several
dead sheep are found in the pens each
morning. This invariably leads to
the suspicion that they are dying of
some infectious disease.
In some cases the ration is not well
balanced to secure the best gains and
the conditions of care and handling
might be better but these things will
account for only very small loss.
The change from grass to alfalfa,
corn, barley, molasses and straw en-
silage, etc., must be made gradually
and herein lies the secret of the
heavy losses of lambs in the feed lots
in the early fall. The desire to set
the lambs on a fattening ration as
early as possible and failing to appre-
ciate the danger of too heavy feeding
and change of ration, has helped to
make lamb feeding an Improbable
business in some instances.
A sudden change of feed or over
feeding, should be guarded against
with all domestic animals. But 1t is
especially important with the horse
and sneep.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1915-01-07

Until we begin to pay more Rtten-
ton to the kind of stations to which
we are breeding our mares we will
not greatly improve the stock of
horses we are growing on our farms.
There are scores of good horses in
this and in other communities, but for
some mysterious reason there are
scores of men who will pass these
good animals by every spring and lead
their mares to some underbred animal
whose get cannot begin to compare
with that of the real stations.
Of course it is not SO very mystic
rious after all. The fee is the thing
that stands in the way, says an Indi-
ana writer in Farm Progress. It's
funny that some men will pay few
dollars less and be fairly contented
with cat-hammed, scissor-hocked colt
that will never be in demand by any
body for anything, when they might
have added few dollars to the stall
lion fee and had colt that would be
far more salable and worth good
deal more money.
1t takes as much feed and pasture
and fully as much care to make Sec
ond-rate animal out of one of these
mongrel-bred colts as it does to make
real horse out of a colt that has
some breeding on the sire's side. Stall
lion registration laws such as have
been passed, but not enforced by
many states, would help in wiping out
much of this shiftless evil that is
really costing many country COM
munity a considerable amount of
money every year.
AS long, however, as there is de-
mand for the cheap and underbred
stations services, and no law to drive
him out Of the country, he will linger
in most communities.
1t seems to me that a mare that is
worth breeding at al is worth breed

1t was not the shock of arms, out
thirst, that threatened to force the
devoted city into surrender.
For months the enemy had hurled
their lines against the fortress, only
to see the gallant troops retlre'
decimated, baffled by the strong earth
works that promised to hold out IN
definitely. And until the city fell the
forward march of the victorious army
could not continue.
General Lamarche was desperate
He could not leave the fortress III MS
rear untaken and continue his ad-
vance toward the capital OF the en-
envy, for that would mean that MS
lines of communication would be sew
cred. And behind those walls the en-
envy was reforming, ready to renew
the war in all it's pristine vigor.
But for months no drop of rain had
fallen. The springs within the city
had run dry. The river had been
damned and diverted by the bes1eg-
ers. And there remained hardly three
days supply of water.
That the city was in need OF water
General Lamarche knew; but he did
not know how near it was to surren-
der. And every days delay was worth
thousand men to those within.
1t was at this juncture that he gave
audience to the man who had begged
for an interview daily during the past
month.
Let the fellow come in," he said
reluctantly to his aide. well, sir?'
he demanded, as the ragged, wild
looking fellow stood before him.

man.
General Lamarche started slightly.
"The aviator?" he asked.
Durand bowed his head.
Lamarche, like every Frenchman,
knew about Durand. He had been one
of the foremost men to develop the
dirigible gas-balloon. While others
