• no time in getting the conyeaieisceB necessary to make farca lifa more pleasant and first to see that the housewife has those things which wiU Uft the bwrden bam her Moulders.

The third annual Prince William Pair, an event long to be remembered in county annals, closes tonight, after four days and four nights of splendid exhibitiona. A host of visitors enjoys ed to the limit the fine agricultural, live stock and household exhibits, tha horse show and races and the many amusemwit features ' offered. Ideal weather prevailed, although Wednes­day until late afternoon was.cloudy and cool.

Many visitors thronged to the live stock exhibits sheltered in the woods surrounding the main division of the grounds. Fine beef and dairy cattle, swine and sheep were exhibited, some of the bluie ribbon .winner's being among the finest in the stote. A striking feature of this exhibition was the demonstration of the value of club work, boys and girls exhibiting thdr pigs, baby beeves and dairy calves and winning first honors in open eom^ petition with their elders.

A particularly attractive display ISi the main .ei^bitioh hail was the ex­hibit of p^^ucts grown on a single farm. First honors, carrying a silvw cup, were awarded to Caover' Hill Farm, established in 1770, and oper­ated cohtinnously since that time by the same fiBiUily.^the Thinning exhU)it being entered by th?. family of the late J. B. Johnson. In spite of the unsatisfactory crop year, a remarka.-ble variety of home grown and home­made products were exhibited. Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Hundley^ of Straw House, winners of the red ribbon, alto loepared a wcmderful display. Ivikota Farm, the FlMence Crittenton missimi at Cli^n^ exhibited woven rugs, rus­tic chairs, baskets, paper hats and wa­ter color sketches.

-An unusual story of an attack on a rooster by a snake is reported from the farm of Mr. J. H. Tucker, in.Cul-peper county, where James.Berry, a colored laborer, who was cutting weeds near the hen house, witnessed the fight When the rooster first at­tracted Berry's attention the latter stopped hoeing and went around the hen house to see what was wrong. Just as the man turnied the corner the rooster jumped fully a yard in the air and B«ry saw something dangling from its neck, which he first thought was a piece of rope which was strwig-ling the bird. Looking closer he tow it was a snake. The rooster, with the reptile Still keeping a strangle hold, dashed into a com field and ran fully fifty yards, until it fell exhaust­ed. Berry followed and struck the snake a death blow with his boe, not­withstanding, it held on until entirely dead. U was ah unusually large one, and measured nearly four feet. The plucky rooster is still living.

REPUBUCAN SHORTCOMINGS A friend of the administration—a very good

friend, indeed—has written a remarkable tribute to the accomplishments of President Harding and his associates since the memorable fourth of March. , In spite of 'these touching words there are doubtless a great host of observers, numbering not a few friends of the administration, who con­tinue to wonder ju^t what the Harding adminis­tration has accomplished.

President Harding's inaugural address, it will be recalled, revolved about three particular problems. Republican rule would set itself immediately to the establishment of peace between America and the central powers, to tariff revision and to tax re­form, Its activities in these fields will hardly gup-jibrt the weight of any jubilation.

True, Congress, led by republican solons, talked at some length and by a peace resolution finally declared the state of war at an end. But, follow­ing this declaration, our chief executive has failed' to proclaim officially the return of peace, and his cabinet advi. .:rs in the Pepartnient of Justice ap­parently are sdll at sea as to the status of domes^ tic war legislation.

An emergency tariff bill was hustled through for the relief of downtrodden agriculture. The ex­pected relief hM failed to materialize according to schedule, and so far no happy agriculturists—re­publican or democrat—has risen up to call i t blessed.

Tax reform, the present problem on which their' eyes are focused, has developed a troublous &jatpect. Secretary Mellon, after exhaustive study of our financial calendar, announced that present ex­penses demand every cent^f present revenue. The campaign pledge of tax reduction being seriously threatened bjr. this pronouncement, republican leg­islators now strive to accopiplish the impossible. Secretary Mellon's studied program has been Sis-carded in favor of a juggling method of exceeding­ly doubtful, value. The new taxation program promises a temporary decrease, mostly to he en­joyed by the interests and the favored few of the well-to-do, and productive of a deficit which can be met only by an excursion into the borrowing field, which in turn will have the usual depressing influ- ence on the business interests of the oatioii. •

There are men among our republican lead^:^ who have won the admiration of democrats—Sec­retary Hughes, for instance—and while ithe ad^ ministration as a whole should have heuty and cordial support, American democracy can hardly fail to reco^ize republican shprtcomings so pat­ent, or to hail them before the pul^c eye. jwn( pnedoshnBUl] shrdlu shrdlu shrdlu shrdluuu

IRELAI^nva OPPORTUNITY Friends of IrelaQd who have been keenly sensi-

tive to the possibilities of the Irish truce and thoughtfully awaiting definite news of the result will own to a feeling of regret that De Valera was unable or unwilling to accept the offer made by the British government thi'ough Lloyd George. Al­though the truce continues, Uttie satisfaction can be had from the deadkxJk.

Britain has signified its entire willingness to create for Ireland a dominion status, carrying with it the same freedom enjoyed by the vast British dominions in other parts of the world. Although the offer would seem to the observer to be the height 5f magnanimity from the British viewpoint —<knd an offer which soigji months earlier would have been received by the worid as a shock—it is not the absolute independence which Ireland has sought, for which Ireland has fought, and for which Ireland apparently is ready to sacrifice con-tinued years of peace and happiness.

Whether the brave and warmheated people of the little emerald isle have suffered to such an ex­tent that a prolonged season of bloodshed and ter­ror would be continually welcome so long as hope of ultimate victory abounds, it is hard to deter­mine—particularly at a time when the offer of the British government appears in the form of a tre­mendous step toward the result so long desired. It is possible, of course, that De Valera may see dif­ferently, but the rest of the world can see no great­er concession from Britain in prospect.

However, the choice remains with Ireland, and perjiaps we may expect her leaders, on \((hom so much depends, to catch the vision of the future, and speak, with all Ireland behind them, for what willmeaa a prosperous and happy reunited race.

Checking Accounts

•Most peoid^ have learned through rich experience of the many cbnveniencps which a checking account offers. "

t Women, especially housewive?, should investigate this Rood method of handling personal funds, ![ When you spend by check you don't have to stand in line to pay bills, wait for change or argue about mistakes. Checks for any amount can be sent through the mails.

!:A checking account encourages correct keeping of your account —leads to savings and investmepts-t-and it costs nothing. We invite your consideration.

I never loved your plains'— Your gentle valleys

Your drowsy country lines And pleached alleys.

I want my hills!—the trail „ That scorns the hollow-Up, up the ragged shale

Where few will follow.

Up, over wooded crest . And mossy boulder

With strong thigh, lieaviUg chest. And swinging shoulder. •

' So let me h<^ my way,-By notiiing halted .

Until, at close at day, I stand exalted.

High on my hills of dreamr— Dear hills that know me!

And then, how fair will seem Thie lands below me.
