MUST PREPARE FOR ENFORCE
hiENT.

Prohibition will go into effect in
Virginia November | next That is
just nine months ahead. Preparations
must be made for the effective en-
forcement of the law. The people OF
Virginia want the saloons closed and
the law against the sale of liquor
enforced. They will not tolerate any
evasion of the law. Even in places
where the majority voted against pro-
hibition we think public sentiment
will demand that tie law shall be. en-
forced
The people Of the State desire and
expect AN efficient law. They look to
The General Assembly for the enact
ment of such Il statute, and we have
no idea that they will lool, in vain.
We believe the Legislature now in SEES
sion here will reflect the will of the
people and approve the general pro-
hibition bill, which was introduced in
the Senate last week. 1t is further be-
licvcd that if this bill is passed in
practically the shape in which it has
been drawn it will receive the approx
al of Governor Stuart, and that he
will help to see that the enforcement
of the law is vigorous and effective.
The Governor openly declared before
the election of September, 1914, that
if the State went dry and the Legis-
lature provided an adequate law he
would see that it was faithfully car
cied out. We expect the Legislature
TO pass an adequate law, and we cX-
pect Governor Stuart to use his au-
thorty to aid in it's enforcement
Richmond Virginian.
The Virginian is correct in saying
that "the people of Virginia want the
saloons closed" They said as much
at the poles. They want the law en-
forced "and will not to!cratc any eva
sion of the law" The trouble is, you
people in Richmond seem determined

provisions Of the bill, as published.
Governor Stuart is pledged to sign
''an adequate law if passed. but if our
level headed Governor signs this bill,
if passed in the present form, he will
surprise US all.
Strange of all, The Virginian, the
An:i-Saloon League and the whole
crowd, approve this bill
They should take down their sign

prohibiiionists. There was surrcn-
der TO the liquor forces in Norfolk Il
few years ago, and there seems to
have been another surrender in Rich

are anxious to know is, does the Vir-
gilman, Or. Cannon, DR.. Pitt and the
rest, endorse this bill?

THE PROHIBITION LAW.

The full text OF the prohibition bill
has been published in the papers, and
IS up for discussion before the gener-
al assembly this week. Surely, this
bill cannot and will not pass in it's
present form. One is lead to ask,
what kind of folks have we mt the
head of this measure? What is the
matter with the Anti-Saloon League.
anyway?
When the people of the State voted
dry by majority of more than
10000 they meant "dry." They meant
to rid themselves of the open saloon,
and the shipment of liquor into dry
territory. But, behold The bill per-
mits druggists to sell liquor upon pre-
scription. 1t permits any man to
have shipped to his address one quart
of liquor, three gallons of beer, OF one
gallon of wine, once every month. The
wife, head of the family, can order Il
like amount in her own name. This
will be fairly good supply for one
man.
Druggists shall be allowed to keep
alcohol, whiskey, wine, etc, on sale
to be sold upon prescription by ply
sician.
Furthermore the bill grants the
privilege to manufacture or distill
liquor in the State to he sold to
wholesale druggists for the purpose
of supplying retail drug stores, etc.
Instead, therefore, of having open sa-
looms we are to have little saloon
in every drug store in every little
town where druggist can be found
to handle it, and this will not he an
impossibility.
A few years ago, by some hook or
crook, the Anti-Saloon party surren-
dered to the liquor forces of the
State. Is our statewide prohibition
fight to prove farce this time? The
present bill is Il surprise and disap-
pointment Let the "boys" pass it,
and something will happen.

WHY BURKE'S GARDEN?

We are in recoip5 of The following:
"Mr. Editor: see published in
your paper estimates, etc, proposed
for the new bond issue. notice that
Burke's Garden is given, all told
$3S,247.93. Cove Creek and Clc.r
Fork get the pitful sum of $l3,959.-
II, not one-third as much as Burke's
Garden gets, and of the amount Up
portioned to Clear Fork, two-tnirds
is given to the road across the East
River mountain. Nobody bcgrudgcs
Burke's Gardens amount AT the
same time we don't like the idea of
being left out III tn cold and mud"
We have heard complaint and crit
icisms along this same line heretofore.
We are not in osition to Justify or
condemn. We do not know all the facts.
We feel entirely safe, however, in
stating that there is no sort of dispo-
sition on the part of anybody to leave
Clear Fork out in the cold and mud
The estimates, as stated in this paper.
heretofore, might have indicated dis
lance, number Of miles, etc, covered
by the apportionment. For instance,
the item, "Big Spring to b. Garden,
$13,247.28" is not clearly understood.
The road from the Big Spring to the
top of the mountain is finished, and
for short distance down the other
side, also much Of the road on the
other side has been graded. This
Ii thousand dollars is to be used cvi-
IDENTIFY to complete the road on the
other side of the mountain, that is, on
the Burkc's Garden side. And this
road should be finished by all means.
The fine road from the top of the
mountain this way is of practically
small benefit so lorg as mud hub deep
is encountered on the other side. This
road should be finished by all means,
at whatever cost
And also, the lower Clear Fork
people are still in the mud. The
amount of $4,000 apportioned from
Cove Creek to Bluestone, across the
East river mountain is of great benefit
to the people who wish to go across
to Graham and Bluefeld, and to the
people of Bland county but to the
citizens of Cove Creek who wish to
come to Tazewell, is of no benefit
whatever. Would it not have been bet
ter to have apportioned this $4,000
or SO much of it as was necessary
to the completion of the pike through
to the Bland county line? Perhaps
there are phases Of the whole sub
ject that discussion and argument will
bring out which are not apparent at
this time. 1t is hoped that no mis-
takes will be made in the apportion-
ment that will in any way jeopardizc
the bond issue.

FARM NOTES
EARLY FLOWING.


Many farmers will get bad stand
of corn this year. Numerous factors
are constantly at work to bring about
this condition. Some failed to select
and properly cure their seed last fall
and will be forced TO plant the rat
eaten, inferior grained "leavings" of
the crib. Others, by poor manage
ment, will not have time to properly
plow their land and prepare good
seed bed. Then, nobody knows what
the insects will do, or the season
bring forth.
1t should bc the aim of every farm
or to give his corn field fair show
ing, and at the same time be pre-
pared to cope with unseen conditions.
Last year only Il few men took adj
vantage of sowing oats or rye in the
field ut re-planting time. to keep the
WORMS oil the corn. In some fields
the insects dcvourcd kind weeds in
suffered from lack of preparation
an, cultivation. Some farmers were
lucky enough to hnvc their rotations
in such condition that il was ncccs-
sary to follow corn with corn, there
by avoiding The insects for the time
being, but giving them chance to
multiply all the more rapidly in other
fields which must be planted in corn
this year. Perhaps provjdcntial
scourge will destroy them.
The ACCESSIBILITY Of early blowing is
doubtful. This practice allows the sod
to rot, thus depriving the corn worm
of its natural food, and forcing it to
feed upon the crop. On the other
hand, late plowing gives an album
dance Of weed growth TO protect the
corn from insect attacks.
Early blowing allows more time for
thorough preparation and in most clay
soils, results in better physical con-
dition for plant growth and root abb
sorption. 1t gives zero weather Il
chance to mellow the soil, and freezes
the bugs and worms to death.
In former years of drouth, early
plowcd land retained the most mois-
turc and made the targets yields
Statistics show that in ten year av-
erage, the higher average corn yields
arc made on early plowed land; that
short periods Of dry weather are more
common and injurious than serious at
tacks of corn root insects; and that Il
good seed bed can he more cconomi-
cally prepared and cultivated where
early blowing is done.
or course there are different con-
ditions on every farm. Some men
pillow early simply because they did
not happen to have all their feeding
to do on the sod to be turned. That
is, their management WAS different
Others get to pillow early because they
apply their manure to sods intend
ed for old meadows, and don't have to
wait until spring cleaning begins.
Whv not make conditions right for
IL bumper corn crop?
Mr.. Farmer. what is your opinion
of early blowing?

But the grip has been known here
much longer las far back as the 18th
century. A number Of cases are prev
alent in the United Statess yearly,
but only occasionally has tn epidem-
ic assumed such proportions as it has
for the past sixty days. The death
rate has been greatly increased among
the older people, and others not phys
ically strong. The grip is pneumo-
MAS special ally, one of the most dan
gerous diseases we have. The grips
greatest enemy, they tell us, is clear,
crisp weather. It's creates friend is
damp, dark, warm weather in win
ter. Grip is contagious, transmitted
from one to another, the germs being
thrown off through sneczing or cough
ing. Hence the disease generally
goes through the entire family. Cough
or sneczc into handkerchief, they
tell us, and live as much as possible
in the open air.
