Dear Cousin Ned
Your letter telling about the hog

Don't let them stuff You with big
words about the Landschaft System
and the Raffeisen System. We have
neither: we have the Democratic
Complicated Conglomeration-nothing
like it anywhere else.
OF course we need a Rural Credits
Law: this is the only civilized coun-
try in the world that has not some

But I am too we'll posted on the in
tricacies of this Hollis Law. passed by
the Democrats this summer, to be
Cooled by it. They can't sell me any
such a gold brick, and I see that
they haven't fooled the Republican
Party. for in its platform 1t declares:
Eve favor an effective system
OF Rural Credits, as opposed to
the ineffective law proposed by
the present Democratic Admins
tration."

ANOTHER RAY OF HOPE
Statement is Made That Government
:Armor Plant May Be Placed in
Old Dominion.

Ever since the movement was IN
augurated for constructing govern
ment armor plaut people in Alexan-
dria have indulged the belief that
Alexandria will ce selected as the
proper site fo, such Factory. The
Gazette was optimistic from the first
and made the original suggestion chat
this city present its advantages TO
the officials at once. This was done
as early as possible. and many of our
representative citizens. who put the
ball in motion Immediately have
never ceased in their Iabors.
1t was announced few weeks ago
that out Of the many places bidding
for the plant only nine would be scri-
ously considered by the government
officials. The mile were not named,
hence it was not known whether or
not Alexandria was among them. We
now believe our city is being consid-
cred by the Secretary of the Navy
and the naval board as among the
most suitable places for this colossal
plant.
According to a special dispatch
from Washington to the Boston Tran
script, Virginia will be awarded the
government arlnor plate plant. Alex
andria. Richmond. Petersburg, Roa-
noke. Portsmouth, Norfolk and New
port News are bidders for-the plant,
and We all prefer to believe that the
first named Old Dominion city will be
the one favored when the decision is
made.
Ninety per cent Of the cities which
have filed applications for the arrnor
plant will be eliminated before
special board from the Navy Depart
ment goes out to inspect cities.
1t was stated authoritatively at the
Naval Department recently that the
possible sites viii! be- reduced to abcu.
nine before the board makes its t1ip
Of inspection. The selection, it was
said, will not be made within Il month.
