PLANS DRASTIC.
PLATFORM

RICHMOND, Va, May Ia re-
port to the effect that Republicans
of, Virginia are expected to adopt a
drastic platform at their State con
vention here in June and are likely

people the right to elect all State,
city, town, and county officers

political circles today.
Not since the days of reconstruc-
tion and carpet-bagger rule in Vir-

the State government. 1t is known

,every community In an effort to de-
feat Democratic candidates.

lar letter, signed by F. B. Dunford,
ar, president of the club is worded,
In part, as follows:
We naturally desire support for
the candidates who will be selected
to oppose the Democratic nominees
in the November election. but re-
gardless of whether you can vote for
those candidates or not, we want you
to qualify, So that you may be eli
gible to vote as you wish" :"
Col. Henry w. Anderson. a leading
Republican who has been mentioned
as a possible Republican candidate
for governor. is one of the directors
of the club. Mrs. r. F, Hudson and
Mrs. Mary B. Beard are among the
vice presidents. Mrs. Ruby B.
Brooke is secretary.
Robert H, Angel, Republican
chairman of Virginia, IS also boosted
for the governorship. Mrs, NJ. M.
Caldwell, of Roanoke, has been mem
toned as a possible G. o. P. candi-
date for lieutenant governor. T. X.

of the western district of Virginia,
Is regarded as a prospective candi-
date to oppose Col. John r. Saunders

GREATEST INDUSTRY

The worlds greatest industry is not agricult-
ure, railroads. steel, OIL nor automobiles accord
ing to E. E. Calkins, the noted advertising ex-
pert. He says it is housekeeping-an activity
that few would class as an industry at all.
But upon refle> ton it would appear that he
is right because housekeeping touches the daily
routine of every person in the world Yet, per-
haps less thought is given to how this great in
dustry should be carried on economically and
efficiently than is given to dozen others which
might be named.
In other industries every effort is exhausted
to find better ways of doing things: to save
time and labor; to secure the best results with
minimum of waste and lost motion. Even the
farmer is becoming alert to adopt better mach
inery, and improved methods generally in con-
nection with his farming operations.
Still, men who demand the latest and best of
equipment for their farms, offices and factories
are often very slow in furnishing their homes
with appliances which would lessen the house
wife's labor and make her life more pleasant.
It might be well to think of this the next
time the good wife suggests the installation of
some labor-saving device which would not only
save her strength, but would be a real economy
in the long run. Our greatest industry should
have more consideration.

CONFIDENCE IN YOUR CUSTOMERS.

WE witnessed the other day the adjustment on
tire by dealer. 1t seems that when the tire
was sold certain guarantees were made as to
the amount of mileage it would deliver. For
some reason the tire fell some short of the re-
presentations of the seller and adjustment was
asked for The matter was discussed and fin
ally the purchaser asked the man in charge of
the department what the allowance would be on
the tire. The salesman in charge replied "that
is matter that we are willing to leave alto
gether to you. How much do you think you
should have? We will settle on that basis" Set
Element made just that way. It struck us
what a change has come about in the business
world from the days when "caveat emptor"
Qet the buyer beware) was the rule. Here was
big company willing to take as final the
word of a customer in the matter of adjust
ment due him. What different attitude than
that often resorted to in cases of this kind, of
haggling over the terms of the adjustment The
company in question may lose in some instan-
ces at the hands of unfair and dishonest GUS
toners, but, what wonderful amount of good
will, such an attitude and such policy can
build up. The fairness of it, the simple honesty
of such policy cannot help but appeal to
those who have dealings with them. 1t is put
ting the Golden Rule in business without think
ing perhaps, anything about the Golden Rule.

FIVE COWS ON A FARM

MUCH has been said and written CONCERNING
the advisability of keeping few good cows on
svery farm. General statements advising such a
course are more or less effective, but more
aeflnlte Illustration recently set forth by coun
try banker, is even more convincing.
He declared that if each farmer in his county
had five good cows, and sold the milk or cream
which they produced, the cash returns would do
these things in year.
Fay the farmers state and county taxes
Pay his automobile license and buy two new
tires.
Provide $40 kitchen cabinet $50 sewing
machine and $40 suite of furniture for the
farm home, and school books for the children.
Clothe farm family of five persons
Buy $50 worth of paint for the farm buildings
Besides doing all these, the fertilizer produced
would increase the soil fertility of the farm, and
the farmer would in addition have all his calves
for sale or for keeping to augment his herd
In most communities any farmer who has a
good repuEatiN1 for honesty and industry can
borrow the money. if necessary, with which to
guy his five COWS, because bankers are generally
glad to encourage the introduction of more dairy
COWS into their territory

CHAIN FARMING PLAN ,

WE have witnessed the growth of chain
stores, chain newspapers, chain theaters, and var
lous forms of allied enterprises popularity known
as trusts. Now we may see an INTERESTING exper-
iment in chain farming
J. c. Penney, whose success as a chain store
operator is we'll known, has evolved plan
which he purposes to apply to a tract of 12O
600 acres of farm land in Florida The plan is
to subdivide this tract into 20-acre farms. each
with comfortable farmhouse and improve
ments costing $4,000, to be sold to purchasers
making an initial payment of $780, It is intend
ed that future payments shall be made from
earnings of the farmer
Provision is also made for the return of the
farmers initial investment in the event that he
shall be dissatisfied. Some rather stringent re-
qurements are to be laid down by the Penney
corporation however, among which it is stpu-
lated that the settler shall not use liquor or to-
bacco, and preference is also to be given to
church members.
The experiment will be interesting to watch
regardless of how it turns out

In his appeal the defendant claimed the right
OF the people to assemble in the streets and to
make speeches therein. Chief Justice Rugg in
his opinion said:
"By the location of highway, an easement
OF passage is secured for the public with all in
cidental privileges thereby implied. Whatever in
terferes with the exercise of tltis easement is
nuisance. 1t is manifest that making a
speech from a box and thereby gathering a
standing crowd Of people is an obstruction to
the right OF the public to use the highway for
travel
And soap~box orators are not the only per-
sons who obstruct the streets and highways to
the annoyance and inconvenience of the public

He put on his pants of buck skin,
And his cap, the skin of a coon.
He knew if he would hurry
He would have some deer meat soon
He started off down the valley,
The way his father would CO.
He thought of the deer he might bring ii
And his face was all a-glow.
He struck very fresh deer track
His eyes began their blinking,
He trailed it to little brook
And there he saw it drinking.
He leveled his gun and took good aim
He was about to fire,
When he broke stick beneath his foot
Which left him in despair.
The deerYlooked up and started to run,
But it's foot began to slip,
Young Robin saw his only chance
And shot it through the hips.
The deer was very bad wounded
And started for revenge
young Robin" darted around tree
AS the buck deer jumped the branch.
Robin had no time his gun to reload,
The deer rushed nearer his breeches
He failed the deer DER the head with gun
And shattered it all to pieces.
His father heard the gun report
And rushed up to his son,
Young Robin" cried as he came in sight,
Pap bring me your gun"
He gave Robin" the loaded gun,
But it was an awful dread,
Young Robin" shot the big buck deer,
And it fell at his feet quite dead

SOAP-BOX NUISANCE

Free speech as guaranteed by the Constitu-

rights of other citizens. Such is the substance

Court in denying Socialist soap-box orators

And put them neatly away
But the deer an ugly scar had made
Which he carries till this day.
