Soft Drinks Traced to
American Revolution

There is an interesting story about
how the first soft drinks happened to
be made.
Back In the days of the American
Revolution man named Townsend
Speakman was running a little drug
store In Philadelphia. He supplied
.edicines for Washington's army, and
vas pretty well known. One day.
says writer In the Progressive Gro
Ger, doctor asked him to fill q pre-
scription Of carbonated water. Drug
gist Speakman succeeded In com
pounding the connection. The doc
tors patient liked the new water.
Soon, one patient after another passed
the word around and. before long,
Druggist Speakman had lots Of calls
for the new medicine water.
But Druggist speakman was keen
business man and conceived the ides
Of fiavoring the medicine water Wit,
fruit juices TO increase its popularity.
The plan worked. Its popularity
spread like wiidfire That was the
beginning Of the carbonated soft
drink business.
The soft drink business has been
growing ever since. Last year, FOR ex-
ample, the people In the United States
consumed 5000, 900 bottles Of non
alcohoIic beverages, an average Of ~

RED CROSS RAISES $4,000, 900

Terrible catastrophes, such as the
Japanese earthquake. prove the wis

readiness of the Red Cross for duty in
the greatest of emergencies was also
proved by test

Domestic Clover Seed >SCarcit.

Last year 1929 the crop 81
native clover seed was the smal =
est in recent history The 1924
crop was even smaller due to
continuous rains in the prodnc-
ing areas and Virginia tarmes
are confronted with real short
age Of adapted, native seed. Red
clover prices this win er will be
higher than at any time exc ept
during the war period when seed
sold at from $50 90 to $40 90
per bushel.

Improvement. The Experiment
station and the experience of
farmes in all parts of Virginia
has proven that it is useless to
SOW imported clover seed and
that ii is very risky to SOW seed
OF any but absolutely known
origin. If the usual amount of
clover is not seeded. or if inn
ported seed is used, the agricul-
ture of the state will suffer.
Many good farmers state that
they intend to seed the usual
amount of clover, but to cut
down seeding cost will mix equal
quantities of rcd clover and alsike.
Others intend to seed mixtures
of red clover and either alfalfa
or sweet clover. In fact the
State Agricultural College is
recommending this practice since
good quality native red clover
now costs considerable over $40
per bushel where as alsike, al
falfs, and sweet clover are all
comparatively cheap.

The American Junior Red Cross,

This Junior movement gives oppor-

The educational and social values

to the health of the convicts and
with proper facilities might be made
feasible. If it were possible to work
the convicts on the roads during the
summer months and train them
during the winter in occupations
which would stand them in good
stead when they might regain their
liberty, a practical improvement
would have been attained. 1t
seems that the prospect invites the
effort.
In the South, contractors profit
from working convict labor. This Is
something which should not be
tolerated. OF course the State could
not get the work and profit from
them such as that secured by the
contractors, but it would seem pos
sible to accomplish something and
every little something to help along
in our highway construction with
cut injury to anyone is worth con-
sidering.
Meanwhile don't listen to any
schemes for a prison shoe factory,
whether advanced in Maine Or under
the Federal Government. That sort
of government enterprise should not
be encouraged nor should the tax
payers be exposed to the burden it
quickly would become.
