AS we have no farm demonstration
for Tazewel county, | suggest in his
stead that, assuming his competency,
we open kindergarten" for the
guesses of novices as to what this
capable gentleman would attempt to
have done in the interest OF Tazewell
people.
Without care to follow an orderly
sequence. or to elaborate any state
ment, these items are offered as con-
sequential enough for county agent
to work for:
First, and hardest, community solid
arity. All to work for public enter
prises as opposed to enlisting your
neighbor to do his share of such work,
as well as your own.
Second, reduction of costs in sales
and purchases. This involves the non
use of many supernumerary inter
mediaries, with suitable organization
to effect these economies, such neces-
sary changes in material and larger
affairs of the community makes i'm
perativc.
Third, multiplication of silos. These
are Il demonstrated utility.
Fourth, fight on weeds. We cannot
afford to tolerate a 10 per cent to 25
per cent loss.
Fifth, Alfalfa. Desirable, practic-
able-under suitable conditions almost
indispensable.
Sixth, community breeding of farm
animals, nationally directed toward
earlier maturity, better markets, great
er profits. and away from hurtful var
lance and general mongrelism. We
hope for sale of tops, in top order, at
top prices. R. NJ. l..

About Liquor Advertising.

Clifton Forge Rcviow.)
The Winchester Star stated recently
that it (thc Starr was the first daily
newspaper in Virginia to refuse liquor
advertising and that since t., adop-
ton of this policy six other daily
newspapers in the State have assumed
a similar attitude, viz: The Lynchburg
Advance, Stanton Leader Charlottes-
vile Progress. Staunton News, the
Richmond Virginian and Lynchburg
News. In this connection it needs to
he said that the Star gathered it's in
formation from some temperance So
ciety out west, but in the preparation
of its own editorial our contemporary
would have experienced little trouble
in finding out that there are other
daily newspapers in the State that
do not carry whislley advertisements.
Here are their names: The Roanoke
World News, Bristol Herald Courier,
the Pulaski Southwest Times, Har-
risonbury Daily News, and possibly
others, not to mention the Daily Re-
view which four OF five years ago
decided that it was proper to discon-
tinue all whiskey advertising. There
"ra probably twenty-eight or thirty
daily newspapers in Virginia and
those which accept whiskey adver-
tiscments from liquor houses are pub
ilshed in cities where saloons are now
opci ated, sac the two Danvillc pub
!ications 1t is safe to say that at least
half of the daily newspapers in the
State do not advertise LIQUOR estab-
hshmentS, while more than fifty per
cent of the weekly newspapers not
only oppose the policy of running
Vhisicv advertisements in their col
INNS. bat are for the banshment of
the traffic from the State. We deem
1t only fair to name the newspapers
overlooked by the Star in view of
the fact that the Star editorial was
copied in the Richmond Virginian
without comment If the Virginian
had lived up to its motto, full, fair,
clean ana accurate, in this instance
1t would have corrected the list of
daily newspapers that no longer han
die liquor advertisements. By follow
ing such !" course these newspapers
lose considerable revenue, for the
liquor men are anxious to secure as
muchh publicity as possible in no-li-
censc territory, and few of them ever
dubbed over the price to be paid for
advertising. However, it was found
inconsistent to advocate the closing
OF the saloons at home and then ac
cept advertisements from foreign con-
Germs, though with others, as well as
with The Review, it was deemed wrong
in principle.
Can you not publish the names of
the weekly papers which do not accent
liquor ads, as we have not seen the
list published? You say that "more
than fifty per cent of the weekly news
papers oppose the policy of run
nng whiskey advertisements" etc. We
believe the percentage will reach near
er seventy-five than fifty per cent.
Nearly twenty years ago, when the
present management took charge of
the Clinch Valley News, liquor adj
vertising was refused, and this policy
has been steadily adhered to, at a loss
in thousands of dollars. A list of week
lies in the State debarring liquor ads.

SO SAY WE ALL.

President Wilson's perplexities do
not diminish in number or intensity
as the days go by. About two months
have passed since the first note was
sent to the German government, and
the troubles seem no nearer solu-
ton and settlement than at first.
The unanimity and heartiness with
which the great newspapers and lead
ing men of the nation rely upon Mr..
Wilson to solve the puzzle, is remark
able, and must be IL source of the
greatest qualification to the President
and source of strength, as well. I'VE

of the pests. "A. l.. c.
We are not first class authority
on the subject. We have heard of the
foX-fiea, the cat-hea, the dog-fea, and

most dogs, are natural incubators for
all kinds except the last named. How
to etrido fthem is a problem. A good
way is to chase them around with a
club and smash them. The last above
named is not likely to give trouble.

A MANS GOWN BUSINESS"

HE was man who attended strict
ly to his own business, and let other
peoples alone" The above declaration
was made in an obituary notice in a
certain daily paper, of Il man who had
recently died. The evident meaning
was that the dead man had paid strict
attention to his own vocation, and had
not meddled in any Objectionable man
ner with the business affairs of his
fellows. There is sense in which this
is a highly commendable tribute tc
pay a man, living or dead. But, is
there not sense in which every man
SHOULD look upon the things Of an
other and not his OWN" Is it possible
for any man or woman to DISCHARGE
their full duty to their felowmcn, in
this world, by just Attending to his
own affairs, and letting other peoples
alone?" Who first started or originat-
ed the proverb which is in evcrybody's
mouth, "a mans first duty is to him
self and family" There is only a
grain of truth in the statement? A
mans first duty is not to himself.
Every man is forced to have "somc-
thing to do" with his fellows, whether
he wishes to or not. Just how, and
what turn it shall be depends upon
the point of view. The Good Book saws
mo man liveth unto himself" and
seek FIRST the Kingdom of God
and His righteousness. The man who
lives within himself and to himself
entirely is satisfied with pretty poor
company.

Enterprise Mines Under Option.

This week George A. Shea and w. L.. MacKay took an option on the proper ties of the Enterprise company and will at once begin active operations. The property consists of fifteen claims, and is situated about eighteen miles easterly from Kingman, on the north end of the Wallapai mountains. The deal was made by MT. and Mrs. Frank Kiessig, of San Diego, who have been at the property the past several months.
 The Enterprise group has had large amount of work done on the various veins and in which some excellent ore has been opened. On one of these claims, about two years ago, a strike of tellurium ore was found, but owing to some mixup it was not followed up. It is the general belief of the knowing ones that the property is good one and only needs intelligent development to put it among the big producers of the county. Both Messrs. Shea and MacKay have large mining experience and under their management ought to soon be in the producing class. The property is well situated for economic operation and can be equipped for ac- tive work within very short time.

The reopening of the property will be of direct benefit to Kingman and we are pleased to see it pass into the hands of men with money and ability to make good.

Civil Engineer Gallagher, of the South.
ern railway. is making a test of the
earth on Twenty-sixth avenue, where
a subway to Southside is proposed by
the city council. The test is being
made to ascertain whether there is
quicksand where excavating will be
done for the subway.
The quicksand proposition was first
brought up by President l.. A. Jones,
of the New Orleans and Northeastern,
while in conference with city officials
here. He said that he had received a
report from his engineer that quick
sand would be found only short dis
lance below the surface. This opinion
is said to have been based on expert
ments in other parts of the city, no
test being made in the territory i'm.
mediately affected by the subway.

habit of Mr.. Spencer when he went
on duty to put his money underneath
a pile of brick in the engine room of
the oil plant, fearing that If he carried
1t on his person he might be waylaid
Or murdered. Last night about 8
O'Clock he made his deposit at the ac-
customed place but when he went for
his money this morning it was not
there, some one having found it while
he was out on his rounds, and appro-
priated it. Ere this it has dawned
upon Mr.. Spencer perhaps that a pile
of brick is a good place to conceal
something that nobody wants, but a
very poor place for a depository for
gold coin.

"WHAT Is IT?"

JACKSON Miss, July 10. A. Oliver
who is back from a visit to the Mis-

during his stay on the gulf, and caught
"What Is It."
The name is given because of the
lack of a better appellation. Mr.
Oliver don't know what it Is, neither
could he find anybody among the vet
eran fishermen along the coast who
had ever seen such thing.
The What Is IT, has four legs very
much resembling. those of bu1lfrog,
The body Is covered with scales like
a fish, and in size the body is about
like that of water moccasin, being
probably three feet long. The legs
are all close together, about six inches
behind the head, and have webbcd
toes, like those of a duck. 1t has a
forkcd tongue, like that of snake
and, on sticking it's head out OF the
water, the thing whistles like pea
nut roaster
When not frightened the what Is
IT. jumps along like frog, but If you
touch 1t with stick it will fold its
legs across its back and get away with
the speed of a blacksnake racer. In
water it swims like fish, but with
longitudinal instead of lateral undula-
lions of the body.
