acquired; wealth through; their or

conservative element has striven
along the: old paths s,,of- agriculture
with the general. crops.
Virginia is, is, centrally located in the
Atlantic tier of states; it lies between
the extremes of cold and heat. The
number of murky, ,foggy days is
small and the number of sunny days
is large. ;. Along the Blue Ridge
Mountains there is. a belt Of country
from. 1000 to $500. feet above the sea
level, lin: which the humidity is ex-
ceedingly small, and the number of
bright, sunny days is very large.
AS to the production of. fruit, she
is already. gaining worldwide rep
utation. Some of the largest COM
mercial orchards have produced an
annual income of from $500, to $500
per acre. .a
This fruit has been produced on
lands that few years ago sold for
$40 to 500 per acre. Few states can
boast Of producing so great variety
Of farm products. One farmer for
several years has had an exhibit at
the State Fair of $50 products, all
of which were produced on a farm
that twenty-five years ago was prac
tically abandoned.
In many sections of the state graz
ing can be practiced all the year. One
line of live stock husbandry that is
quite profitable is that of raising
hogs, The food for the hog can be
grown on the farm and consumed
without harvesting.
Virginia is spending vast sums of
money upon her public highways and
schools.

THE Old DOMINION .
Virginia Presents to
Men of Ambition And Energy
Plum Trees Waiting for Those
Who Will Shake Them.

The Gazette takes pleasure in pre-
j senting herewith an article published
lin regent issue of the Southern
Woman's Magazine, written by Rob
ert L. Burch, concerning the oppor-
tunities which the state Of Virginia
offers to men Of ambition and en-
terprise:
It was about fifty years ago that
Horace Greeley gave his celebrated
advise to young men to go West. II
he were alive today with his wisdom
and his vision he would say, eco
South" and the first state that would
engage his attention would be the
"Old Dominion"
The opportunities Virginia presents
J to men of capital, energy, and a,nbi-
ton are so many that it is puzzline
just where to begin to enumerate.
Agriculture, manufacturing, mercan-
tile, export, shipping, transportation,
commercial, and all the various en-
[ terprises which go with them, are
hanging on the plum tree waiting for
the youth of vigor and enterprise to
shake them down.
Look at the location Of Virginia: A
few hours ride from the heart Of
the East-New York, Philadelphia
the heart Of the Gen.
trail West-Chicago, Detroit, Cleve-
land, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, st.
Louis. Indianapolis, and the South
east of the Mississippi River-Wil-
mington, Raleigh, Columbia, Charles
ton, Savannah, Atlanta, Birmingham,
Memphis, Louisville, Nashville.
No wonder its manufacturing en-
tcrpriscs have grown so rapidly in
the last ten years. 1t could hardly be
better located for the distributes, of
merchandise and manufactured goods,
and yet its cost of living is low on
account Of the fertility OF its soil.

Oil Market Letter

To help our men and our allies win
a great and permanent victory for
civilization we must mobilize our dol
lars. The most effective way to ''uo
your bit" Is by buying bonds OF the
new war loan according TO your finan-
clal means, be your subscription large
or small, but do 1t now" No safer
investment in the world today. Place
your subscription thru your banks or
brokers.
While the investment markets OF
the past week have been inactive with
generally lower prices, yet the press
ing liquidation of the week previous
was not so noticeable, and 1t Is quite
possible that an upward turn Is near.
For long pull we are bullish and
think many good stocks are selling too
cheap, and We are strong believers In
not only the present but future great
ness and prosperity of the United
States. Taxes will undoubtedly be
high, but money raised by taxation il
diffused thruout the country and you
part, so why worry. Sift the good
stocks from the bad and where they
appeal to your judgment as cheap.
buy them. There never was so much
actual money In this country as at
present, and with the large expendi-
lures that will be made and the actual
earning and strong cash position Of
many of the companies. with larger
amounts than ever before which will
soon seek investment in securities, the
present market conditions will likely
be just the reverse before late summer
or early fall.
On the local board, in sympathy
with other markets and prevailing
conditions, many stocks on light trad
ing show losses Of to points. among
the natural gas stocks. Earnings
from gasoline are in some cases al
most~equal to earnings from gas and
the coming winter we believe will see
higher prices for domestic consump-
tion and increased earnings at many
