SUCCESSFUL FARMS

Talks With Chesterfield farmers
lead to the conclusion that the most
successful farms in the county are
those which year after year have from
two to four major sources Of income
The idea Of husbandmen Of the old
school, that it pays best to raise the
crop bringing the most money, has
oeen exploded, they say, and in this
way: With all farmers raising the
same crop, the price Of the commodity
soon falls, and unusually after the
crop Is planted. In fact, to a large
extent, prices are based OH private and
governmental estimates" long before
the various crops are harvested.
One Chesterfield county farmer de,
clared that the word 'diversification
Of crops" had been subject to con,
siderable misuse in late years. He
said that every farmer planting q
little of everything and not much OF
anything was said to be diversity,
.ng" his crops. On the contrary, rea,
diversification, this soil-tiller said
menns raising from two to four goou
crops worth while.
In farming, like in every thing else
well-baln+ced business is essential

SAVE CHESTERFIELD COUN-
TY ROADS

This is the time of the year when
more damage can be done to an i'm.

In a day than can be repaired by tel
men in week.
Colder days may still be in store
but we have had some soft weather
and are likely to have more before
finally arrives.
It therefore is absolutely necessary
that care be taken not to haul heavy
loads on thin tires over soft roads.
Not only that, but do your best tc

in the soil now will be with us all sum.

DANGERS OF DRAFT

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result is
Neuralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles
or sometimes an attack of Rhematism.
In such cases apply Sloan's Liniment,
1t stimulates circulation to the sore
and painful part. The blood flows
freely and in a short time the stiff
ness and pain leaves. Those suffering
from Neuralgia or Neuralgia Head
ache will find one or two appliances
Of Sloan's Liniment will give CRATE
full relief. The agonizing pain gives
way to a tingling sensation Of com.

SLOW WORK OVER FLOOD RELIEF

a week Or SO ago, when floods were
at their worst III Arkansas, after hav.
ipg had Il session Of it in New Mexico
and two "rampages" in California, the
question came up on the floor Of the
House of Representatives as to the
necessity of giving instant relief.
Previously, and without debate, the
senate had unanimously passed IL res
olution granting 100000 for i'm
mediate relief to the stricken in Az
kansas But when the question came
up in the house, various congressman
parried over technicalities and Opined
nothing should be granted until the
.s,s-a''..ssotn nf Arkansas met and for
mally asked for aid!
This while thousands were maroon,
ed in upper stories and other thou
saIids Suffering untold hardsh' 'ps
and In many cases hunger.
1t has never yet happened that be,
fore aid was granted by the govern
ment to Il stricken district-Salem,
Mass, and San Francisco, Cal, Of re-
cent memory-that demands were
first made that the legislatures oA
those states make the request.
The resolution was finally passed,
of course, but only after strenuous
efforts by better mentally-equipped
congressman who proved that dilly
dallying in the face of disaster was
criminal.
The house, which evidently didn't
think all the people who We're living
in tree tops at the moment were ot
its stratum Of society, decided to help
nevertheless. But wasn't it rather
disgraceful that there was an argu
ment about it?

The big battle Of the war is now
being fought within five miles of the
French fort, Verdun. The Germans
have been concentrating their efforts,
to take this stronghold, but yesterday
they received some reverses at the
hands Of the French. 1t is claimed
by the Germans that If verdun is cap

hand say that Verdun is very CID

long and is meeting with the most
stubborn resistance. The Germans
claim to have captured I22S officers and

The Russians have succeeded In drt

their lines. The Russians also claim
that many thousands of Turks have
either been killed or taken prisoners.
Today the Germans inaugurate their

effect that they will attack, without

Valdez daily prospector., 1916-04-20

At the outset of the expedition it was given out unofficially by officials at Washington that Funston had teen ordered to get Villa dead or alive. The order rang through the land. i, was accepted in good faith and was backed by the American people. Now i it develops that no such order was is- sued-that, in fact, Funston was merely commanded to disperse the gang of Villa outlaws who raided Columbus. The order seems to reflect the indecision and faint-heartedness which has characterized the admins tration. It left way for backing out with shred of disgrace if it was necessary for the troops to stay on Mexican soil longer than at first seemed necessary.
 Gen. Funston says even the orig ina. order to him has not been full filled. Villa and his band have not been dispersed. Left to their own de- vices at this time they could reor- ganize in week and so outwit the 'Carranza troops as to be constant menace to the American border.
 However, Villa has led the Amer can forces so far into the heart of Mexico that it is virtually impossible toemai intain the lines of communica- tion without using the Mexican rail- roads. He is hampering the expedi tion by refusing actively to cooper ate with the Americans. In spite of the press-agented stuff from the ad ministration, the Americans have not received the cooperation of Carran ga. The first chief has not set his troops against the 'gringoes,' but his men have permitted Villa to es- cape when trapped and Carranza him. self has, by his official acts and utter ances made it clear that the Ameri- canos are non grata on Mexican soil.
 It would not be surprising to learn soon that the de facto government, which our government ha srecogniz- ed. has politely asked us to with draw our troops. How such request would be met at Washington is a matter of conjecture. What the peo- pie of America would do in the cir cumstances does not seem to be a sub ject for doubt.
