President Wilson Says Ratifica?
tion by Senate Will Settle the
Questions Puzzling Slates
men of United States.
St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 9.?Readjust,
meat of the cost of living, President
Wilson declared tonight, must await
the establishment of a complete pence
basis which would put labor and capi?
tal on their feet.
In two addresses the president, as?
serted that the connection between
the acceptance of thepeace treaty and
ameliurat'on of living conditions was
a direct one, and that the world was
looking to America to take the lead
in restoring theworld to a sound eco?
nomic basis.
Mr. Wilson spoke in the morning at
a special session of the Minnesota
legislature and in the evening at a
public meeting at the St. Paul audi?
torium. During the afternoon he also
addressed a meeting in Minneapolis.
Opening bis speech, Mr. Wilson said
there were no political considerations
in his ppecch-making tr'p for the
treat. It was an American issue, be
declared, and he had come out to the
people rather to "hold counsel" than
to make a fight against anybody.
Despite the varied national origins
of the America, the president declar?
ed a "hyphen" the "most un-Ameri?
can" trait to be found in the coun?
try.
Because of its mixed derivations,
the president asserted, America was
destined Id be the mediator of the
world. It was the only nation, he con?
tinued, that can sympathetically or?
ganize the world for peace. Of the
many delegations from foreign lands
who appealed to him for a hearing in
Paris, all were able to point out that
they had relatives in America.
Just as the soldier of tile Civil War
had saved the country, Mr. Wilson
said, the American soldier "in this
war had saved the world;" and just
uas a great nation had really been
born from the civil war, so "a great
er thing" would result from the sac?
rifices of the last few years.
Saying that, of course, the league
would not be an absolute guarantee
against war, Mr. Wilson asked wheth?
er it would not be worth while if it
reduced the probability of war even
by ten per cent. There were many
cries "Yes! Yes!" over the hall, and
a burst of cheers. The crowd cheered
again when the president added:
"And I think it reduces it about
ninety-nine per cent."
The president said it was a duty
of the United Suites to lead the way
in "peaceful production," and that
could be done best under the labor
section of the treaty. Under that sec?
tion, he said, a great international
labor conference would be held in
Washington in October, whether the
treaty had been ratified or not.
"The only question is," said be,
"whether we shall have a seat in the
conference or one on the outside."
An "absolute unclouded confidence"
that the treaty would be ratified was
expressed by the president, and be
asked the people to assert their in
fhicnce.
"1 know what you want," be said,
"say it and get it. Tell me you don't
want to do what I'm urging and I'll
go homo."
There were erics of "No!" and "Go
to it!" and the crowd rose and cheer?
ed.
Shortly before the president con?
cluded, he was interrupted for a mo?
ment while a large bouquet of flowers
for Mrs. Wilson, who sat near the
president, was carried to her.
Treatment Por Smut in Wheat and
Oats Before Planting
Pour equal parts of 40 per cent
formaldehydde and witter together
and apply the mixture with any or?
dinary hand atomizer producing a
fbie mist at the rate of one quart of
the mixture to fifty bushels of seed.
One man should make the treatment
while another shovels the grain back
and forth. After making the treat?
ment shovel the grain back and forth
to insure uniform mixing and cover
with old bags for four hours, abso?
lutely no longer. Then spread seed
out thinly and air and sow at once.
Treat no more seed than will be sown
within twenty four hours. This treat?
ment will be thoroughly successful and
you will have no trouble if directions
are followed.
You can get the hand atomizer with
quart fruit jar at any hadware store
for 50 to 75ccnts and the formalde?
hyde at drug stores for about 50c.
per pint. This atomizer must not drip
or sprinkle the seed but. produce a
fine mist or vapor on the seed. Do not
leave seed covered over night or more
than four hours. For 26 bushels use
only one pint mixture, for 12 bu. ulje
1-2 pint mixture.
This is a cheap, simple, thoroughly
effective and snfe method of preven?
ting smut provided it is done prop?
erly and thoroughly. If you do not
follow directions and use too much or
leave seed covered too long the ger?
mination of seed is likely to be in?
jured.
I have found a great deal of wheat
in Tazewell has smut in it. It re?
duces yields and quality of wheat as
the farmers know from experience,
often reducing the value of the crop
50 per cent. Because your wheat has
no smut this year is no reason it will
not hnve it next year. The disease is
spread in so many ways, frequently
by the threshing machine. The only
safe way is to treat your seed. If your
wheat has trash or smut in it, it
should first be elcuned in a fanning
mill before trenting. Por further in?
formation write me. R. R. WALL,
County Agent.

TAZBWBLI
The Baptist and The Jews.
The Jews of the United States are
railing for funds to aid "in saving
tlie remnants of their race abroad
from utter destruction," as set forth
by Mr. Mose Levy, chairman of the
Jewish War Relief Campaign, of Vir
I ginia, whose headquarters are in Nor?
folk. This is. practically the first time
the jews have sought aid outside
their own race for Jewish relief
work. The jews have been prominent
in all the relief drives made hereto?
fore and now ask help of all the peo?
ple in turn to help their starving and
suffering people abroad. During the
past two years, the bulletin points
out, the Jews have contributed over
SO million dollars to war and rellol
work.
The Raptisls are staging a cam?
paign for 7? million dollars distribut?
ed over a period of five years among
southern Baptist churches. Seven mil?
lion is the amount allotted to the
eleven hundred churches in the state.
The managers of the campaign be?
lieve that Virginia Baptists will not
only ra'sc their quota but go over the
lop the first day of the final week of
the campaign.

General Pcrahing'a Room.
Since General Pcishing'a return
and Irs enthusiastic reception, it is'
-aid that his boom as a candidate for'
'he Repubican nomination for the'
Presidency, will be revived, which
was started some months ago. hut of
which nothing has been heard for |
some t ine. Despatches stale that his'
father-in-law. Senator Francis E.I
Warren, of Wyoming. w:ll have I
charge of the !'< railing boom. It is '
pointed oi:t, however, that General
Pentlings friends nre showing more'
enthusiasm Ulan judgment, and, the
fact that Perading is a great soldier,]
is no assumil e at all that he could
fill such an office as that of Presi?
dent, of the United States, and it is I
further believed that Pershing has '
too much sense to jeopardize his fame |
and popularity by lending his con-]

The Teachers Meeting In Graham A
Pleasant Evening.
The meeting of the Tazcwcll Coun?
ty Teachers Association was held in
Graham High School building last
Friday and Saturday, according to
appointments, ami an attractive pro?
gram rendered. More than 100 teach?
ers were present, and addresses and
papers of interest were made and
read.
The educational, or chief address
was made by Professor Filzpntriek,
of the Stale Normal School at. Rad
ford, ami was pronounced "a fine
address."
There were other addresses, good
miisic, a special feature of which, on |
Friday evening, was a solo, rendered I
by Miss Davenport., greatly to the de-1
fight of the audience.
The writer of these lines was on
the program for "a few remarks" of
welcome to follow Mayor Galloway,
who was to make a speech of wel?
come on behalf of the town of Gra?
ham. Hut the Mayor flew the coop,
and all the welcoming had to be giv?
en by one poor speaker. He did the
best he could after getting over the
stage fright which seized him, and
his knees smote each other. The peo?
ple were knd enough to listen, at
least.
With Dave Spracher.
Prof. A. S. Greever, County Supt.
and the writer of these lines,
hail our home for the night with the
genial hospitable Dave Spracher. A
night or day spent in such a home is
an epoch in any mans life. His moth?
er, widow of the late Win. Spracher
and his sister, Miss Kate, live with
him, and help take care of the large
house, the crops, pigs and chickens.
Dave is often away, as a representa?
tive of a Graham business concern.
The Sprachers are Burke's Garden
people. Mrs. Spracher was a Miss
Geever, s'ster to "Tobias" and Dr. C.
W. Greever, of this town. She is liv?
ing in the time of the "sere and yel?
low leaf," but cheerful, bright and
happy in the recollection of a well
spoilt life.
The Graham High school building
is a surprise to any one who sees it
for the first ?me.
It has spacious halls, fine lecture
and school rooms, all presenting a
splendid appearance, and also admir?
ably suited for its purpose.lt is n
credit and an honor to the town, in
fact, would be an honor to any town.
There are spacious grounds nil
around the building, permitting an
enlargement when needed, and more
room will be needed as the town
grows and population increases.
It is always a pleasure to meet
Dudley and Newton, prominent schoo,1
men of Graham. They were present
?alsoProf Strong, the Principal,
Prof. Rohhilt, of of Tazewell High
school, and supt. A. S. Greever.
The nambes of the Faculty were
given in last weeks paper.
The Meeting In The Cove.
This paper stated that Rev. W. C.I
Thompson and Rev. W. W. Arrowood
were holding a meeting in the Cove.
It should have been Rev. Mr. Shan?
non, the Presbyterian pastor in the
Cove instead of Mr. Arrowood. A rose

meeting continues with much interest
manifested.

Fine Day At Show vor Mills.
Cast Sunday the Squadron nutdo a
decent upon the Shuwver Mill Com?

was said, a profitable lime. The con?
tingent was the same as on n pre?
vious raid?\V. (1. Forbes, Secretary,
County ,S. S. Association, Mrs. W.
G. O'Brien, Sunt. Primary Depart?
ment, and myself. Wo had "all-day
meeting, commencing at about. 11:110
fast time, an hour for dinner, and
two hour session in afternoon.
The writer of these lines was the
first speaker. Of his "few feeble re?
marks nothing need be said. Some of
the sisters got a little "bet up" by
something he said about woman suf?
frage, and an assertion that the old
proverb that "the hand that rocks
the cradle and does the spaukin' rules
the world' was not true in loto, or
words to Unit effect, but the rather,
(hat the little cherub that squalled
ami kicked in the cradle did the rub
t ing, but not always as his nut taught
him to rule, which is nearly if not
quite correct, when you CO me to think
of it. How would il sound to hear
the menwho are running things say,
"this is the way my mother brought
me up?" The other remark which
excited some comment was, the chief
objection to woman suffrage is the
suffragette, having in mind certain
"broad minded" totnboyinh women
who made themselves eonspicious ami
obnoxious in Washington and other
places, some time bach. Us better?
more satisfactory to have somebody
"kick" (hau for nobody lo say any?
thing. However, the people were good
enough to day that the speech was
allright, after nil.
In the afternoon Mrs. O'Brien fold
the people many interest ing things
about primary work, how to teach
etc. She made, as usual, a good ad?
dress.
Mr. Forbes spoke on organisation,
the work of the State Sunday School
Association, and bad a new commit?
tee appointed fur the District, the
names of which committee have
slipped my memory. About l schools
were represented. Concord, Mt. Olivet.
At the close Kelly Neid wc.s called
on. lie made a short but fine speech,
on the spur of the moment. Got Kelly
steamed up ami started right he can
beat anybody spenkin'.
