YANKEE TROOPERS l HAVE MODEL CAMP l
 FAX IN MEAlCU.
Colonel Allaire's Command at Southernmost Point o1
 Line Try for Comfort.

EI Valle San Buena Ventura, Mexi' co Ded 19.-The camp that serves as q model for the entire American Punitive expedition has been con structed by the 18th infantry, Coiohel W. H. Allare commanding, at ti,s point. the southernmost Of the exped- ition. The work has been done D! the men themselves with the meagre material available here and without cent of government aid.
 A feature of the camp is a com. bined abode kitchen. mess hall ana recreation room for each Of the 1oui- teen companies now here. Ihe kitchen contains work room for the cook and his assistants, a huge adoDc oven and indinerator, meat house, d store room and quarters for the COOK. The wall separating the kitchen IS pierced by openings through which the food is passed as the men file hY with the mess kits at meal time.
 The mess hall. which adjoins the kitchen. contains benches and rousA tables that accomodate the entire company. After meals these benches are cleared and the mess hall be- comes rec ereation rccm well heated by huge fireplace and lighted by gasoline lanterns, oil lamps ana candles. The recreation hall appeals especially to the men. Their sleep, ing quarters are too small to permit of the presence of more than two men sitting or lying and heating them vita anything but can of hot ashes is al- most impossible. With their roofs of joined shelter tents, they are ideal for open air sleeping, but that is all Con sequently the recreation hall is al- ways well filled at night.
 The adobe brick for the company buildings was made by the men, ant they paid from their own funds fol the lumber necessary for doors, win dow frames and benches. They alsc bought the saplings that are used foI rafters, and cut brush upon whicf the. mud roofs are laid. Back of thes, buildings is a wide company street on the other side of which are th' adobe officers houses

hollow Good Advice


Those who are interested in the fu-
ture welfare OF the country. and hope
to have our best men make our laws
and carry them into execution cannot
but be impressed with the strong and
manly letter of Mr.. John NJ. Miller of
Gerrardstown, In which ne states that
the time has come when principle
must be placed above party. This adj
vice coming from a man who has
voted one ticket for 40 years should
have wholesome effect upon those
about TO cast their first votes and
those who stick close to party and
cause them TO realize that If il had
not been for the men who had the
manhood and sterling honeaty to
break away from party lines and vote
for principle, whore would the coun-
try be?
That great class of independent
voters have held and today hold the
balance Of power They arc feared
by all parties because IL is known
that they are fearless ana honest, and
will not hesitate to vote against the
candidates who do not measure up to
the high standard of statesmanship.
But for that class our country would
be controlled by unworthy and incom-
petent men and the result would be
awful to contemplate.
The man who places principle
above party is respected and honored
by all classes of men He is feared
only by those who's daily walks are
shaded because they know that hon
esty and integrity will assert them
selves and triumph, although the bat
tie may be long and vigorous The
upright honorable man, is the one
who does not hesitate TO defend the
right and condemn the wrong. His
advice and example always have
moral effect, and the good they accom-
plish is difficult TO measure.
The advice given by such man as
Mr. Miller is worthy OF careful
thought he is competent to Judge
any candidates. fitness and his Iudg-
ment should be respected When men
of Mr. MIcr's standing say that
principle ie above party it is time for
an voters to give more attention to
candidate and not simply follow par

COUNTY FARM NOTES
John n. Devoe, Agent

The attention of the farmers OF
Preston county is called to the fact
that agents representing the West
Virginia Rural Credit association are
beginning their work of getting sub
scribers and selling loan stock. am
in receipt of a letter from John Lee
Coulter. dean OF the School of Agri-
culture of West Virginia University
In which he says that many OF the
details of the plan Of operation of this
organization do not conform TO the
ideas advanced by men who have Civ
en- much consideration TO the question
OF rural credits, including farm mort
cages, and that within a few davs he
will confer with the officers of the or
ganization relative to the shaping OF
the organization 80 that II will be 10
the interest and advancement OF our
rural people. The department OF ag-
riculture has received many letters in
which the complaint is made that
agents selling the stock make misrep-
resentauons as to when loans may be
obtained by subscribers and that the
company later disclaim responsibility
for the statements made by the agents
In a number OF instances farmers
seemed TO have gained the idea that
they would be able TO secure loans in
a short time, and express disappolnt-
ment when they must wait for an in
definite period for the promised loan
and go on making payments just the
same on the stock which they have
agreed to take
When farmers are confronted with a
proposition of this character they
should first read the prospectus and
the contract very carefully and make
sure that they know exactly what
these mean, especially the contract.
II it is so worded that it's meaning is
not clear aftor careful reading. this
in itself should be reason enough for

Right now every American ought
to give thought to the battle of Ma
nila Bay Why was it such an easy
victory for us? The simple answer is.
and it does not detract any from the
glory OF the event, that we outmatchcd
Montojo's force. Our guns were more
powerful of longer range. The Span
ish squadron had no show. Montojo
could not reach our ships. Dewey
had him beaten before he had fired "A
