This concern interests itseif in sup
plying to the farmers aud dairynen,
cattle raisers and live stock growers
of the southern states with feedstutfs
Of all descriptions, including grain
and manufactured specialties. They
are iobbers and wholesale dealers in
all varieties Of grains and dairy feeds.
The company was organized IN 1917,
when Mr.. G. w. Hoge purchased
from the Smoot estate the property
bounded by Henry, Oronoco, Fayette
and Pcndlcton streets and constructed
a warehouse covering a large part
OF the block. The ground area Gov
cred by the building IS 100 by 300
feet. Mr.. Hoge organized what was
originally known as the Alexandria
Hay and Grain Company, with cap
ital stock OF $4,000, to do general
business as jcbbers and wholesale
dealers in all king Of feeds and to
specialize in the company's own pro-
ducts, the chief Of which are the
widely known Hoge's Dairy Feeds.
The business Of this company grew
from the start, the high quality of
products gaining almost instant and
lasting favor among the live stock and
cattle men and farmers of Virginia
and other southern and bordering
states.
1t was deemed wise in June Of 1920
to meet the demand for increased out
put and distribution to enlarge the
scope of the business and increase its
resources and facilities, so the CAPT
tai stock was doubled and the charter
under which the concern exists was
amended to change the name to the
I Hoge Grain and Feed Company, Inc,
as it is now known.
The company maintains offices IN
Washington at 233 Sixth street, s.
W., and in Alexandria, at the ware
house. These offices are equipped
with all up-to-date fixtures, furni-
ture and fling and other systems
for the cxpeditirg of the handling Of
all times with the staples and spec
ialties of the company and it is with
ease that an annual business that in
1921 approximated $225, 900, is hand
led. The trade area Of this company
extends as far south as Charleston,
S. C.
That the patronage Of the buyers
of grain and feedstutfs is appreciated
by the firm is aptly shown in the man
ner in which all orders are promptly
and efficiently filled with articles OF
The highest quality and purity. The
company intends to further extend
and enlarge the volume Of its business
by continuing high grade service with
high grade goods.
The firm is progressive and enter
prising and is member Of the Cham
her of Commerce, in which it is active
~ engaged in promoting the welfare
and advancement OF the community's
best interests. Mr.. d. C. Chambers,
manager Of the business also is a
member for the city's best interests
as an Individual as well as business
man. He has been living in Alex
andia about three and a half years
and is well known and popular.

Painting is a partial or total loss
of consciousness due to diminished

follow bleeding, exhaustion from heat
fatigue from long standing and the
like fear or surprise. Painting is less
common than it formerly was; it now
occurs most frequently among per-
sons suffering from anaemia. heart

Symptoms Of fainting are pale face,
cold perspiration, rapid feeble pulse
and shallow, signing respiration.
Treatment consists in removing the
patient into cool fresh air, applying
cold water to the face and Keeping

A news item from Los Angeles
brings sad details of the aftermath of
the Lysle Nicely murder in Minneapolis.
A frail, broken mother sits in cell of
the Los Angeles Jail facing the charge
of larceny. From her cell window
she can look across the courtyard to
the county Jail which holds all that
is most precious to her, her two sons.
Although those two sons are charged
with murder, the mother love has not
faltered. She has spent practically
all that she had saved for her old age,
$4,000, in a vain attempt to free
those sons. Think of the pathos and
tragedy of the picture, and all the
result of a foolish attempt to seize a
few paltry dollars. Think Of the cost
of the crime-the life of the man
shot, the broken, aged mother with all
her misery and suffering, and those
responsible for the deed have yet to

State COnstabulary Needed.
Socialism and Taxation.

In recent address, Governor Preus
said that socialism would mover prevail
in Minnesota through direct attacks.
In his opinion, it could advance to
power only by indirection, by masked
and insiduous approaches. It's ends
might be reached, for instance, implied
the governor, through confscatory
taxation which would make private
property worthless and do away with
any incentive to individual initiative
and activity, the motors Of civilization.
This is timely warning. Taxes
are essential, but they can easily be
an engine of destruction. If average
American city homes were taxed three
times what they are now taxed, no one
would own or build home, and the
sale value of residence property would
be nil.
If business were taxed much beyond
it's present rate, business men could
not easily pass such taxes along to
consumers and prices would become
| impossible. If securities were taxed
much more, incomes would disappear
and these securities become waste pa
per.
Certainly in modern life, taxes must
be large. It is not all all true as is
sometimes said that paid public SER
wants are parasitic or merely inactive
leeches on the public. Most Of these
public agencies do essential work. So
ciety could not exist as it does with
out them.
But line must be drawn against
opening at present new exits for public
money and there should be economy
on all sides. Tax inventors, and they
are ingenius fellows, must be re-
strained in their activities. Nor would
economy in public matters be an un,
wise limitation of needed public works
and service. Reason and moderation
should be exercised, having in view &C.
tual public needs and the available
pool of tax resources, together with
the effect of taxes on the right OF
private property.
Every public officer controlling
taxes should consider this. He shoulc
seek to lower the expense of his de-
partment. His ambition should be IL
this direction, rather than in seeking
more money to handle. At the sam'
time he should keep people advised
when his colleagues are plunging to-
deeply.
There is danger ahead from exces
, sive taxation. On with the brakes
, Governor Preus advises we'll in hi
suggestion that socialism turks behin'
, this danger. Socialistic propagandist
, know this, and seek, through the eros
cut of high taxes, to destroy privat
; and personal rights and inf1ict thei
fancies upon the nation.-Dulut]

Two Roads Plainly Marked.

A prOverb that is founded upon the
experience of the ages is:
"He that is steadfast in righteous
ness shall attain unto life; and he that
pursueth evil doeth it to his own
DEATH"
1t needs no profound study to verify
this truth, which has been handed
down through many generations. It
is text that should be the guide of
every life. The faculty that places
human being above the animal, is not
only the power of reason, but in a
higher sense it is the conscience, with
the right of free choice. An animal
is guided by instinct and it is neither
moral nor immoral. Conscience, which
is often termed "the still small voice" !"
is the spirit of divinity in humanity.
The individual who is steadfast in
righteousness, attains the fullest
achievement of life. He has no cause
of fear either in this life or what is

THE GOOD ROADS ARE HERE.

Some of us who are particularly en-
thusiastic about roads and have done
50 much talking about our highways
at election time almost forgot that it
is not chiefly campaign talk. The
prophesies Of the past are actually be-
ing fulfilled. Minnesota's good roads
have achieved national fame.
During this whole summer we have
heard nothing but praise for our Min
nesota roads. The residents of the
Dakotas frankly express their envy,
the Wisconsin men are equally ap-
preciative, and the tourists who have
driven across the continent state they
can tell the minute they cross the
Minnesota line. One of these tourists
who had driven from the state OF
Pennsylvania to Yellowstone park
crossed Minnesota on the Black anG
Yellow trail. This highway, which
passed through Winona and Mankato
is not paved but is one of our gravel.
surfaced roads. The Pennsylvania
motorist declared he believed Mime.

than any state through which he hat
driven.
Our much heralded good roads ar.
actually here and it is to be hoped tn,
people in Minnesota will appreciat,
them. Much work is yet to be done
but in the meantime let US place tn
credit where it is due. The progress
that has been made in Minnesota il

his is the pure joy Of living.
Regardless of what theologians may
contend, the person who breaks either
the physical, moral or the divine law
cannot escape the penalty. He may
appear for time to be immune from
punishment, but it is merely the post
ponement.
In these days when viciousness is
prevalent, when law breaking is SO
common, there is need of burning this
fact into the conscience of every man.

Pointed Paragraphs
By Peterson

Listen, folks! If you have father,
grandfather or a great grandfather
that you would like to have a good
picture Of, now is your opportunity.
know how hard it is to persuade
old people to have their picture taken,
and have no opportunity to see and
talk to all the old gentlemen around
the country myself, so I want you
folks to cooperate with me in cam
paign to photograph as many old
gentlemen as possible within the next
two weeks.
I know there is someone in your
family of whom you would like to
get a good picture. All I want
you to do is to use your influence to
try to persuade him to come to my
studio for free sitting before Aug
ust 25th.
It costs you nothing to have the
negatives made, but if you like the
proofs you will have an opportunity to
order dozen or more or less, which
! will entitle you to enter in a contest
| and receive valuable prize.
For the best portrait of an old man
will give prize consisting of an
8x14 panel sketch worth $500.
! The pictures will be judged purely
from an artistic standpoint and it is
not necessary to be good looking or
wear good clothes.
Any gentleman SO to 100 years
old is eligible.
The portraits will be on display at
the county fair, and will be judged
there by three competent judges.
Now everybody get busy; remember
the time is short, August % is the
last day, and also please keep in
mind that this is not beauty contest.
Don't doll grandpa" up, bring him
just as he is, as I want to get ma
tural picture Of him.
also want to mention that the
prize will be real work of art that
will be worth hanging in the finest
home.
