MISS RAMsAY'S TALK
WELL RECEIVED HERE
Equal Suffrage Representative
is Greeted by Good-Sized Au-
dience in High School Chap
el-Friends Made.

Miss Ramsay, the representative of
the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia
delivered an address here last Friday
night, according to notices given. The
crowd was larger than was expected,
owing to short notice and other ham
dicaps, made up for the most part of
substantial men and women of the
town.
The address was listened to with
the closest attention. There was no
tagging of interest from start to fin
ish.
Mr.. Ramsay is a pleasant young
woman of charming personality and of
personal beauty. She spoke for an
hour, and held her audience almost
spell-bound from the beginning.
Judging from expressions heard
since, she made friends for her cause.
Certainly true it is that her address
pleased her audience greatly.
Miss Bessie Crockett added much
to the entertainment by rendering a
piano selection in her usually fine
style.
The only Disappointment in program
was the absence of Judge Kegley, who
was advertised to introduce Miss RAM
say. He was unavoidably detained. 1t
is understood that the Judge is de-
cidedly favorable to the cause of wo-
man suffrage and the failure to have
him present on the occasion was re-
GREETED.
Not only here, but wherever Miss
Ramsay has spoken the people have
been loud in their concentrations OF
her addresses, whether they endorsed
what she said, or not. And so it was
here. Those who failed to attend
missed treat, and it is safe to pre-
dict that should she speak here again,
she will be greeted by a full house.

THE HIGH SCHOOL LABORATORY
Miss Sanford Will Help Raise Funds
For Equipment for High School.

Prof. Maria Sanford will give early
next week in the High School two lee
tures-her popular and humorous lee
ture,. GLOW to Make Home Happy"
which always occasions much mer-
riment and her masterpiece on the
Bible in Literature, etc. She comes
highly recommended. For 20 years
she occupied the chair of rhetoric and
public speaking at the University of
Minnesota. These lectures are given
under the auspices of the Womans
Club and Civic League to start fund
for the equipment of the laboratory
in the school building.
DO you know, we are the only town
that has allowed it's children to be
handicapped in its work because of q
lack of equipment? Where the school
lacked funds the citizens have rallied
to its aid. We fell sure the business
men of our town and the people gen.
orally will see to it that this effort on
our Fart will be a financial success.
Miss Sanford is a high class lec-
turer and through the help of the
state federation of clubs, we are able
to get her so we can ask a popular
price of admission, 25c for grown
people, and 10 cents for children.
We invite, as our guests, the school
board, principal, teachers and the pu-
pills in Tazewell High School.
Look out for exact date and time
on circulars and placards.

REPORT OF. EXPERIMENT FARM

For the benefit of those who NAV
wish to know how the Casey corn ex
pertinent turned out this season. the
following facts and figures are piv-
en-:
Corn planted, (pure-bred Casey).
May 1, Ia acres. Rows laid off
both ways, 3 feet by 1-2 feet.
Cultivation, part of the patch
times, other part three times, with a
fourteen-tooth cultivator.
Corn shucked and cribbed. 80 flour
barrels, making 1913 bushels shelled
corn.
No account is taken here of amount
destroyed by rats, fowls, birds, ETC.,
which was considerable.
At a conservative estimate about
10 per cent of this yeild was not mer-
chantable-soft and immature. There
were very few nubbins, confined al
most exclusively to replants. The
corn is large, pure white and sound :.
This acre and a quarter had three
bags of fertilizer and a few loads of
stable manure. Part of it, 3-4 acre,
was turned during the winter, in
February. The half-acre, crimson
clover sod, was turned in spring Just
before planting. All of it was well
disced and narrowed and in fine shape
when planted May 1st. The 3-4 acre
had two bags of 16 per cent phospor-
ic acid. The half-acre a sack of bone
meal. There was marked difference
in the growth, maturity and quality
of the corn where phosphoric acid
was used from the very start. The
products of the patch, itemized, is
as follows:
Corn, 1913 bushels, at 9Oc. .S11O.7O
Potatoes, 2 bushels, at 5Oc,. 100
Beets, 5 bushels, at 25c,. 1.25
Iurnips, bushels, at &c.,. 800
Feterita, 1 shock, .......... 10
Fodder, four loads, at $5,.... 1000
Total products, ........ .$135 .O5
Expense account is not available,
but a conservative guess puts the
expense at less than $4,000, not count
ing interest on investment.
A rational conclusion is that the
Casey is fine corn, and will mature
all right here, but should be planted
as early as possible before May 1st.
II. G.. McCall's acre, nearby, made a
magnificent growth, but did not ma
ture well. 1t was planted May 10th.
The Experiment" plot has grown
corn six years in succession. This is
the best crop it has ever made. Grim
son clover or alfalfa sods have been
turned down each year, some stable
manure and fertilizer used, Last
fall ten tons of ground limestone was
scattered over the land.

BILE and social workers that until the mu'
nicipal authorities have these powers and
exercise them to limit the building OF high,
narrow apartments or tenements, there
will never be the desired production oil
small enements-three, four and SIX fam
lily houses.
This, in effect an effort to force hori-
zontal, lateral property development, is
not a business question alone; it is as well
a social question, affecting tenants and
those who would become householders In
small way if competition with the specu-
lative builder of the vertical tenemen.
were not too dangerous for them. The
proposal now before the convention has
the support alike Of social workers and
many builders and real estate interests.
II has the backing Of the city admins
tration, Of property owners who control
or lease buildings for business and OF
experts on taxation. Soon or late, such
provision will have to be made for syste-
matte development of New York and may
be Of other cities in the state. This pro-
posal deserves the conventions most care
full and sympathetic attention.
