4 The following address to West Vir-
ginia women has been issued by Mrs.
Nj. Antoinette Schley Fisher, a mem
Der Of the woman's section of the
Navy league:
Through the columns Of your paper,
a ask to make an appeal to the wom-
en- Of West Virginia to rally for ma
tional defense and preparedness. This
Is the first call of the United States
to its women for help in open express
sion OF sentiment. Let your voices
now be heard in support OF protec-
ton.
In the days OF 1775. when our val
liant forefathers fought for the free
dom we now enjoy and should be
prepared to defend-especially In
these times Of world wars and appre-
hensions-they bequeathed to us our
precious heritage Of liberty. And we,
the descendants of these same heroes.
must place this inheritance above all
thought Of material advantage or in
diyidual gain; we must be prepared to
defend that liberty.
We believe in national defense be-
cause II insures us that peace which
unpreparedness cannot give. IT Will
save us from every evil of aggression
to which we may be exposed, and we
want our country to be strong nation
among the strong and protecting
friend OF the weak. We want to stand
up in the councils of nations and be
able to demand that wars and tumults
shall cease, at least on the western
hemisphere National defense pre-
pares the way for the coming OF peace.
1t will teach our children how to pre-
serve this nation for themselves. and

The candidates for president In the
election Of 1910 were Martin Van Blu
rem, of New York, Democrat, and Cen
eral William Henry Harrison, OF Ohio
Wing, and created more excitement
and uproar than any election ever held
In this county.
The campaign was the most remark
able ever known, and did immense
ly towards solidifying the people into
party ranks. Prior to that time parties
had been largely among the politicians
and the governing class. Now the vot-
ers ranged themselves on one SIDE OF
the other and entered the struggle
with intense feeling. The Wings took
advantage Of the situation very skill
fully and outdemagogued the Demo
Gratis. They became the champion Of
the poor man" against such "aristo-
Gratis" as Martin Van Buren,, who ac-
tually had gold spoons upon his table
Those around him carried gold headed
canes and devoured the people sub
stance. The much belabored, frilled
and ruffied shirt which the Wings had
been accused Of wearing, was now worn
by Van Buren, and his satellites. On
the other hand General William H
Harrison, the Wing candidate, was q
plain pioneer, who after his brilliant
services to the country was content
to live in a log cabin and drink hard
cider .instead Of the costly wines
served at Van Buren's tables.
In those days every pioneer was
likely to have a raccoon skin pegged
on his front door to dry and become
marketable. A good coon skin" was
worth a big round silver dollar any.
where and at any time. In some
states 1t was legal tender for taxes
and private debts.
The log cabin with the raccon Skin
on the door became the party emblem
and hard cider the party beverage. A
log cabin Of buckeye logs where this
timber abounded, was raised in every
Wing settlement. Songs celebrating
Harrison's victories at Tippecanoe ant
the Thames took precedence of ora
tory. "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" was
the campaign slogan. The country
went wild with enthusiasm, and thu
popular demonstrations exceeded any

gime. In addition, 1t proposes to
divide municipal lands among the
poor for the purpose of cultivation"
Governor Siurob also mentions
that he has established 1880 schools
in the state since he took office.
If the dividing Of municipal lands
is adopted as a general policy by
the other states it will mean the
providing Of homes and agricultural
plots for thousands of poor natives.
Heretofore the municipal lands have
been Of no practical benefit to the
people. For the most part they are
capable Of being made very pro-
ductive, nearly all of them being ir-
rigabfe.
Ends Landed Aristocracy.
The contamination OF the new
agrarian policy means the end of the
agricultural aristrocracy IN Mexico.
Its members were as proud and ar
rogant as the mobiles Of France be-
fore the revolution; almost literally
they told the poems to eat grass "
1t is notorious that the landed aris-
tocrats grew rich by favor of Diaz
and his regime, yet they benefited
Mexico not a jot. Most Of these
rarely visited their estates. They
lived like magnificos in Europe, main
tanning elaborate establishments in
Paris and Madrid. They contributed
very little to the support of their
own government, their lands being
free from taxation. On the Other
hand, the poor and oppressed peon
was required to pay tax on every
goat he killed for his own use out
of his own flock. and In many other
ways he was made to contribute to
the revenues OF the government.
Besides dividing the community
and other lands among the poorer
element it is planned by the Car.
rama government to place Q heavy
tax upon all unused land, and q
somewhat lesser tax on land that is
occupied and in actual use. 1t is
expected that this will result in Won
derful agricultural and pastoral &C
tivity all over the country. Unless
the lands are made revenue produc.
ing it will be difficult for the owner
to pay the taxes on them. 1t will
also result in the dividing Of many
larger properties into smaller tracts
and their sale to actual settlers, II
Is believed.

Civilian Encampment May Be
Held Near the Capital
of This State.

CHARLESTON, Jan. General
Leonard Wood, at the head Of the
United States army, is coming to
Charleston. He will be here about the
middle of January, probably on the
fourteenth.
Somewhere in the South next sum-
mer an encampment will be held, sim
liar in nearly every detail to that held
last year at Plattsburg, N. Y, which
in one particular proved success.
1t is said to be General Woods pri-
mary idea to have men to the num-
Der of $4,000, who are in position to
accept military positions of various
ranks to assist in drilling volunteers.
II the need comes for a greater num-
Der of soldiers than the country now
affords under the provisions of the
federal laws concerning the military
strength Of the nation.
The details Of the reception that
will be rendered in Charleston to the
famous officer have not been arranged
yet, and in fact this is the first an
nouncement that has been forthcom-
ing regarding his visit. Plans will
be made Immediately for the visit, and
probably committee of citizens will
be delegated to make ready for a
meeting Of the many who will natur-
ally be interested in what the mill
tary man has to say.
Many Things to Consider.
Just what will be necessary in
bringing about the selection of a point
for the encampment, no one here
knows at this time, and 1t is probable
that local effort will be made to induce
its being held near Charleston, but
that is matter that will have to work
itself out when more details Of the
Wood plan are learned. General Wood
will indicate his attitude on that ques-

10 Grov Peanuts
Continued from First page)

would pay better to raie pota-
toes, sorghum. oats and peanuts,
while on osher farms noSe Of
these could be grown at a 1'rofit.
Every farmer must determine
this for himsef, and plant accor-
dinghy. Oar Eggyille neighbors
have looked over the field and
many of them are satisfied that
peanuts can be grown profitably.
About 40 bushels of the nuts can
be grown per acre and the hay
can reasonably be valued at ten
dollars per acre.
The following Eggville citizens
have obligated themselves to
plant the amount opposite their
name in peanuts next year:
B. f. Mcdonald, 10 acres; C.
w. Ellis. 5 acres;J. A. Love, 10
acres; D. H. Brooks, 10 acres; J.
E. Brooks, 5 acres; J.. T. Nor
gan, 10 acres; A. r. Williams, 5
acres; M. L. Jones, 5 acres; Car
fet Jones, 5 acres; Jim Smith, 5
acres; Hollis Price 5 acres; Ed
McFerrin, 7 acres; Mark Brooks,
l acre; Hugh Brooks, 10 acres;
W. v. Lindsey, 10 acres; D. H.
Mitchell. 10 acres; Luther Hall
mark, 2 acres; Lark Weathers,
5 acres; W. T. Love, 10 acres.
1t is highly probable 400 or
500 acres will be planted in pea
nuts in the Eggville neighbor-
hood. Other sections Of the
county will also plant peanuts.
The Spanish variety is most in
demand and will command the
best price and meets with the
readiest sale. Negotiations are
on to induce our local oil mill to
prepare to take the crop which it
is promised will be large enough
to justify the mill to make the
necessary changes for handling
peanuts.
The movement should meet
every encouragement. The pea
nuts can be easily grown and can
be made a most profitable crop.

WEALTH IN WASTE

National thrift, preparedness
in every line of endeavor, using
the tools that lie ready around
us-these are the things that
count, and while it has taken
the people of this country a long
time to realize the value of the
little" things, they are daily
learning the, lesson. This was
never better illustrated than in
an editorial in the Kansas City
Times, "a Fortune in Cherry
Pits"
A man watched his wife seed
ing cherries and throwing the
pits away. An idea came to
him. There must be some use
for those pits. He got the Bu-
reau Of Chemistry of the depart
ment of agriculture interested
and this is what has resulted:
The kernels of the cherry pits
yield a fixed oil, almost exactly
like almond oil, worth 40 cents a
pound, and a volatile oil like
that of bitter almonds that could
be used in making perfumes and
f1avoring extracts, and is worth
about $40 a pound; and the resi-
due would make a meal for stock
food like cotton seed cake. worth
about $40 a ton; and the juice
that is wasted in seeding the
cherries could be used in making
table syrup, jelly and alcohol.
The figures, as given by our
Kansas City contemporary, show
that three and one-half million
tons of cherry pits are thrown
away each season at the plants
where cherries are canned in
this country" and here is what
the waste means:
This would make two hundred
tons of the fixed oil worth $50,
900; six thousand pounds of the
volatile oil worth $50, 600, and
$50 tons of meal worth $14, 600,
a total of $154, 600, besides more
than five thousand gallons of
pure alcohol, twenty thousand
gallons of syrup or eighty-fve
thousand gallons of jelly that
could be made from the wasted
juice.
Already a company is planning
to put up a factory to use the
hitherto wasted cherry stones in
Oregon.
AS with cherry stones, so with
ather things, reckoned as value
less. With a little thought,
waste is turned to profit, facto-
ries are put in operation, and
money in circulation.
No country can be rich enough
to throw its wealth to the winds.
The thing is to recognize thei
wealth in the waste.
