Remember The Com

some city man who has died and
left something for public use
something for some school, church 3,
library, park, or something of the
sort. There are not so many peo-
pie of wealth in the country, of
course, but because the country
dweller cannot leave much is no
excuse for leaving nothing for
public use. A man who has even
modest means, in fact, should be
ashamed to die without leaving
something to enrich the community

Fortune Offered For
Villa Dead Or Alive

Columbus, New Mexico, March
IS. Rewards running into thous-
ands of dollars have now been
placed upon the head of Pancho
Villa, the Mexican bandit and
murderer.
If the American army was anxious
to catch Villa before, they are
doubly so now, since the announce,
ment of the rewards for the bandit,
dead or alive" have been posted
Heading the rewards is one Of
$50, 600 alone, this is put up by
Col. II. E. Slocum, who com
manded the garrison here on the
night that Villa raided Columbus
and killed eighteen Americans. Col.
Slocum's offer is the big sensation
among men in the army, and also
by residents along the border
Col. Slocum, who is now in Mexl-
co with the column of Gen. Perish
ing, stated when he offered the re-
ward that he did so from his own
personal funds. Slocum is a mil
Iionaire and in ad 1ition is the
nephew of Mrs. Russell Sage, so he
is amply able to pay the reward
offered.
Since the sudden night attack
and massacre at Colu INDUS, friends
of Col. Slo"um say he is a changed
man. He has taken the tragedy
deeply to heart, and to him it is a
personal matter, as we'll as a mill,
tary duty to avenge the death of
the Americans, many of whom he
had become personally acquainted
with while stationed here.
The news that big rewards are
on Villas head has gone out through
Mexico, and it is expected to have
more to do with the capture of Villa
han anything else. Some faith
less fellow bandit or daring Mexi-
can may kill the chief, or some dar'
ing American. many of whom have
gone after Villa, may succeed in
sending the bullet that will end the
life of the desperate
There is a wall of dissatisfaction
long and loud from the soldiers who
have been left behind while their
more fortunate fellows entered

troops are arriving on long troop
trains and enlistments continue

MONTEREY, Va, MARCH "a, 1916

Over fifty farmers of the Burke
town neighborhood attended a
good roads meeting held in that
township yesterday afternoon, the
purpose of which was to organize
Road Drag Club" for the ben
eft of thoroughfares in the immed-
late vicinity.
County Superintendent Moore,
Farm Demonstrate Campheld and
Mr., Trimble, of the State Expert
ment Station, were the principal
speakers of the afternoon, the out,
come of the meeting being a de-
cision by those present to drag
some ten or twelve miles of road IN
the immediate vicinity of Burke
town.
Farmers of this neighborbood
will cooperate in the work, which
will be carried out with the greatest
possible dispatch. Staunton News
This move has been preceded by
several such organization in Au-
gusta county, and we would like
to see some such progressive spirit
in Highland. 1t has been argued
that many of the roads of this
county are not of the material
where drag may be used success
fully, but if this be true, is it not
because the roads are never filled
and rounded up as they should be?
We would like to see the drag given
a try out, and the plan in Augusta
is a good one. The work has to be
done just at the right time, and
when the farmers of community
are banded together and cooperate,
several miles of road could be drag
ged in a short time.
Let some neighborhood take the
initiative in the matter. The praises
of the split log drag have been
sung from county to county for
years, and Highland should give it
test, and an effectual one. 1t
might enable us not only to "get
out of the old rut," but to get rid
of the thousands that make our
roads rough and hold the rainfall
until the road bed softens and be-
comes muddy.

Why Prince Albert Wins
Patented Process is Responsible for
Its International Popularity

Smokers so much appreciate the
flavor and GOODNESS and aroma of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette
tobacco that t ey often marvel that
this one brand could be so differ
ent from all others.
The answer to this question is
to he found on the reverse side of
every Prince Albert package, where
you will read: Process patented
July Goth, 1907" That tells the
whole story. Prince Albert is made
by patented process that cuts out
the bite and parch, which makes
the tobacco so agreeable and salts
flying to men of every taste of every
civilized nation an the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years
continuous work and study and a
fortune in money to perfect. But
the result has proven to be worth
all that was expended upon it, be-
cause it has set free men who be-
lieved they never could enjov a
pipe or a makin's cigarette.
Prince Albert makes it possible
for every man to smoke a pipe or
to roll his own cigarettes. And, no
matter how tender the tongue,
Prince Albert cannot bite or parch.
That is cut out by the patented
process, leaving for the smoker
only the joys of the fragrant tobac
co.
1t is a fact that since Prince
Albert .a.4rrived," just about six
years ago, it has made three men
smoke pipes where one smoked a
pipe before!
