Letter From Kansas

Dear Editor:
If you have little space in your
paper for me I will give you few
items from our sun-flower state. We
have had very mild winter so far,
not very cold; we had quite slick
time here some time ago, it rained
and froze ice as it fell, every thing
was covered with ice. One had to
walk pretty easy to keep on his feet
for nearly week. Guess you people
back there are making sugar and
eating buckwheat cakes and 'lasses.
Oh, how 1 would like to be there.
It wont be long till people will be
sowing oats in this county; it is get
ting nearly time and planting pota-
toes.
We are having lots of flu here
again this winter, but not so bad as
last winter; it is about all the sick
ness we have here now except several
cases of pneumonia, caused mostly
from the flu.
People here have plenty CT feed and
stock is wintering fine. I am winter
ing 54 head of COWS and calves, 10
work horses, one colt, 81 head of
hogs, 27 of them nearly ready for
market. Hogs here are worth SIS
per hundred, fat cattle 10 cents,
horses very dull, mules are high,
$500 per head if good ones, chickens
soc per h., turkeys 40c, geese zoe,
ducks IS, butter 60c, eggs 4Sc per
doz., corn $3.50 per bu., oats soc per
bu., wheat $3.50 down to $3.50. l
sold my -four. at $3.50 per hundred
pound, wheat last week at $3.50.
had out last year ITS acres, harvest
ed 400 bushels; 1S acres oats, har-
vested about 500 bushels. The corn
here didn't make very much, it got
too dry for it. They had good corn
farther west. Eastern Kansas is a
good grass country, lots of blue grass,
white clover, timothy and clover, al
falfa. All do well here.
I live on a $40 acre farm; have
235 acres farm land, 120 acres tame
hay, 35 wild hay, the. rest in blue
grass and white clover pasture.
We keen about 200 hens for laying,
getting 5 or 6 dozen eggs day this
winter; we also have some turkeys
and guineas.
We use a cream separator for our
milk, separate fresh from COWS. Sep
arated cream is worth s1.00 per gal
lon. One can make money out of his
COWS and chickens here.
Most of the farmers own tractors
around here, mostly Fords, to do
their farming with. l have a Titan
tractor engine. I pull three IA inch
plows and IS foot harrow behind
the pows. Last season l pulled two
I foot binders with it; harvested 800
acres of wheat and oats, then put it
on the threshing machine. Threshed
5000 bushels of grain and timothy
seed. Going to do most all my
blowing this spring with it. | burn
gasoline in it. We also use trucks
here for hauling.
We see James Nicholas pretty
often. He is getting along just fine.
We also see Mrs. H. Harold, Mrs. Bes-
sic Colaw and H. Feter now and then.
They are all getting along very well,
as far as l know.
We have plenty of wood to burn,
lots of wood along the creeks.
| Well, as have enough here to fill
one side of your valuable paper, is
enough. This leaves us all we'll and
hope this will find everybody in old
Highland the same. From an old
Highland friend

MUST POST YOUR LAND

Under the new Virginia Code
hunters can now only be stopped
from hunting on land which has
been posted with signs prohibiting
such trespassing. The section which
said that it was unlawful to hunt
on the lands or water of another
without the consent of the owner
has been left out of the new Code.
Under the new revision of the code
it is not necessary to obtain per-
mission to hunt on land not posted
in conspicuous places with signs
stating that hunting thereon with
out permission is prohibited.

The Reliable Man
TOhio State Journal ]

Charles NJ. Sshwab, multimillion-
aire steel magnate, has arisen to pay
tribute to and proclaim the worth of
the man who does his best every day
no matter il what capacity he may
be employed. The world is not hunt
ing for the superman, Mr.. SchWab
declares, but is hunting for the man
who gives the best he has in him
each day to the task that may be his
and seeks to fit himself for better
place. The stability Of industrial life
he says, depends on the man who is
on the job each day on time, who
gives his best efforts, who studies the
task, masters it and fits himself for
promotion.
In his long years of employer of
labor he says he has found it posh-
ible in all cases to fill a vacancy,
no mater how experienced the man
leaving may have been, by promoting
some man who has been helping on
the work, who has learned how to
make his services worth while to the
employer as we'll as to himself. 1t
is not the man who has shown super
qualities who is the most valuable,
but the man who has been interested
and fitted himself for larger tasks,
an that sort of man, he says, may
always be found.

Feb. 16, 1920

Mr.. Editor: - .--.-.
AS we farmers are not so busy at
present, we now have time to think
about paying our auto license and
dog tax. Last November our county
and State tax had to be paid; in a
few weeks the Secretary of State gave
notice our auto license was due if we
expected to ride in our jitney bus
this year, he tells us to come over
with 60 cents per horse power this
time, and a dollar for registering
said bus, whether large or small, and
we are told this is to build roads. For
whom? Not for Highlanders any
way, as we people in Highland have
been travelling one of the worst toll
roads in Virginia. All we people
have to say in the premises is to pay
and our celebrated legislators and
State Highway Commissioners says
where our money is to go.
How long this is to continue the
Lord only knows! Didn't our legls-
lature only a few years ago buy one
of the finest roads this State from
Staunton to Winchester and through
one of the finest section Of the State,
payig between 10000 and 100000
dollars for it out Of the auto license,
and is kept up by the State, toll free,
while we people in Highland pay q
cents per mile for travelling the worst
toll road in the State. l will ask
where is the justice in this? Can
some one please tell? Our legisla-
tors seems to be Indifferent as to our
interests, and can't even frame de-
cent county road law, whereby we
can have cur county road tax put on
our roads. We must travel over
rocks, ruts, chuck and mud holes s
or 8 months in the year and still the
contractor gets his pay. The Val
ley Centre correspondent says their
CONTRACTOR uolt w SiiouSh WIN vi
the road to violate the Sabbath. We
can beat that over here in Stonewall
+ district. Some Of our contractors
charge SIS per mile for bidding on
the road and get their pay, too, and
that is no worse than our celebrated
legislators do; they go to Richmond,
pass laws whereby we are relieved of
our money and get nothing in return;
in either case our money is gone and
little to show for it. 1t is notorl-
Gus fact the less c man does these
days the mere he wants for the job,
and he nearly always gets it.

If you get the influenza, see a doc
tor at once-but why get it? Isn't
it worth while instead, to take every
precaution now, against it?
Probably the best and first thing
to do is to make sure you are in a
good physical condition. During
an epidemic, almost everywhere you
go you are exposed to influenza. AS
long as you are really we'll the red
corpuscles of your blood fight off and
defeat disease germs, but when you
are tired or run down-when you
feel all right except that you haven't
much energy or enthusiasm-you
blood is tired out too and you are an
easy victim.
Pepto-Mangan has become famous
as builder of rich, vigorous blood.
1t helps you up when you re run down
1t helps you avoid Illness Or, it
helps you recover, if you realized
your poor physical condition too late.
Physicians have been recommend
ing Pepto-Mangan for years in cases
of anemia (bloodlessness) 1t is re-
liable, effective,a nd has record of
over twenty-five years of success.
Takt no chances with a rundown
condition. Get Pepto-Mangan today.
1t is good health insurace.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in liquid and
tablet form. There is no difference
in medical value. Take either kind
you prefer. But be sure get the gen
uine observation-disclosures" The

BIG LUMBER PROJECT UNDER
WAY IN BATH

Warm Springs. Feb. 17-What
promises to be the largest lumber op
Grafton in the western portion of Vir
gfnia is now in process of formation
in Bath county. The Curry Lumber
company, which for years has been
operating under contract to furnish
the Standard Oil company with barrel
slaves and headings, now has an en-
cheering corps at work running the
outlines of the largest tract of virgin
timber in this section.
Starting at Crosses switch on the
Hot Springs branch of the c. & O.,
the engineers are working up jack
sons river including the Crosse farm
and the Big Survey (Jarvis Survey
which extends into Highland county.
This will include about 10000 acres
of the best timber in Virginia.
1t is understood that this company
will put down a standard gauge rail
road up Jackson river, with log or
narrow gauge roads as feeders and
that the C. & 0. will operate the
standard gauge road. This means
much to the western part of Bath
county. If standard gauge road is
once laid up the river, it is common
belief that it. will never be removed
but will be operated as public util-
lty. 1t will open to the market some of
the best farming and stock lands in
this section. 1t is a known fact that
this territory contains vast deposits
of minerals, such as manganese of a
high quality, etc., that will mean
.auch to the owners when once they
are able to place them on the market
1t is stated that work on the roads
will be started in the early summer
and that within twelve months from
that time the mills will be in oper-
alton.

Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,

come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts,

scalding, stop eating meat and get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy; take tablespoonful
in glass of water before breakfast,
and in few days your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice. combined with lithia, and has

SPRING FEVER
Follovfng Colds, Grip o. Flu,
Thin, Watsry Or Poisoned Blood
(BY DIR. VALENTINE MoET.)

At this time Of year most people
suffer from what we term +" spring
fever" because of a stagnant con-
dition of the blood, because OF the
toxins (poisons) stored up within
the body during the long winter.
We eat too much meat, with little
or no green vegetables.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic
people, those with pale cheeks and
lips, who have a poor appetite and
feel that tired, worn or feverish
condition in the spring-tirne of the
year, should try the refreshing tonic
powers Of a good Alternative and
blood purifier. Such tonic as
druggists have sold for fifty years,
is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t is a standard remedy
that can be obtained in tablet or
liquid form. Made without alcohol
from wild roots and barks.
Send ten cents to DR.. Pierce's In.

icines have been giving my family the
utmost satisfaction for the past fifteen
years. I have taken Golden Medical
Discovery off and on whenever in q

and one bottle each time restored me to
perfectly healthy condition.

once failed US and we take the greatest
pleasure in recommending these remedies

Simple Way To
End DandruH

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruf at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid arvon
from any drug store (tl1is is all you will
need), apply it at night when retiring,
use enough to moisten the scalp and rub
1t in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruf will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruf you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
OF the scalp will stop instantly and your
hair win be fluffy. lustrous, glossy. silky
and soft and look and feel hundred
times better.
