Farmers are Getting Facts The department of agriculture is alive to the necessity of providing the farmers market data and facts at the earliest available time. Establishment of shipping point inspection in several 'eading agricultural states, a grain market reporting service, and a quick dissemination of daily markets are a few of the methods which the department is employing.

The outstanding activities of

markets and crops estimates follow: (1) Cost of marketing; (2) collection of in

formation relative to agricultural competition of foreign countries with the United States and the demand for American farm products in foreign countries; (3) an analysis of the economic situation in the live-stock industry and the development of plans leading to the more orderly marketing of live stock; (4) study of fruit auc

HELP YOURSELF By George Matthew Adams.

I know of no pleasure like onto that of helping someone else unless It be that thrill that comes from helping one's self. ! The problem that you solve all by yourself, in your own way, stays with you in inspirational power long after its solution. As we grow in persona power, every great things in the world takes on new cast of strength to us. . Every time you help yourself, you build yourself for no human being stops growing except by his own will and wish. If you are given a healthy body and a mind that aspires high, you have wealth that' the richest are not able to buy. With what you have, you can help yourself! And every time you help yourself, you help others for we are each of us inspired and led on by the growing minds and spirits of others ' greater than ourselves. Help yourself and you know not how far your star may mount. Pay attention to the little, every day affairs that the average person passes by or neglects when he does pay attention to them. . Be too proud to do anything that is not worthy of your best ability. Keep your troubles to yourself but share your good fortunes and successes with all. Cultivate a cheerful frame of mind and keep the windows of your soul house open and the shades up. ,

Who's Who in the Day's News SIR BASIL 2AHAROFF Sir Basil 'zaharoff, who i called "the mystery man of Europe" made his great wealth selling arms and from a half interest in Monte Carlo, but he is now turning his attention to the oil fields of the east. No man knows the place of Zaharoff's birth, although eome say it wa3 in Constantinople. His father was a Russian and his mother a Greek. They call him a Greek patriot because of hi3 munificent gifts to the Greek State of lat'er days but the record of hi3 activities finds him first in SL Petersburg. He was a representative of the great British armament firm of Vickers in St. Petersburg twenty years ago. As he spoke Spanish he wa3 sent to sell arms in South America and he sup plied arms to both Chile and Peru who were warring and returned to Europe a rich man. Then came the war of the Balkina and he sold arms to both sides. Selling arms became his profession until the outbreak of the world war and he was said to have large inter. est3 m both Vickers and Krupps, representing armament firms of the Allies and the Central powers. He could hardly pell to both sides in thi3 case, however, as the Germans re garded him as an enemy. Ha had lived so long in France that he had become a citizen and he had received his education in England and his homes were in France and England. The man's personality is bizarre. He is a bachelor. Tall, sun tanned and wizened, with bright eyes and a closely trimmed imperial beard, he affects unremarkable clothes and ex hibits a strange mixture of desire for notonety and anonymity. He holds many official honors from both France and England and is a member of the Famous Marlborough club in London, that exclusive organization that Ed ward VII founded. He is half owner of the Casino at Monte Carlo, the revenue from which enables him to keep up his magnificent establishment, his own cigar es tate in Cuba and his other princely beneficences. Ho is the organizer and stockholder cf a half a dozen European banks and he was the organizer of the oil company that combated the efforts of the Standard Oil to reach an agreement with the Anglo Persian Oil company. He is one of the world s richest men. He lives like a king, gives hundreds of thous ands of dollars to charity and art, and probably figures in more political , and financial rumors than any other one man on the continent. Just now.it is said that he i3 busy building up another Balkan League and trying to win over Bulgaria for a solid front against the Turks. The Confederation of Jewish Workers in Palestine plans to establish a daily labor newspaper in Jerusalem,

Peace Progress of War City Hopewell, Va., Converting War Industries Into Products Used By Civilians in Time of Peace.

By FREDERICK J. HASKI HOPEWELL, Va., Feb. 5. A new chapter is being written in the dra matic history of Hopewell. Most of us remember Hopewell as the great guncotton town of the war a town of wood and tar paper like an overgrown raining camp. Hopewell sprang up in six months over a Virginia cornfield, and gained fame as a city of 43,000 people dedicated by the Du Fonts to the making of one single article of destruction for the war. It bore the picturesque title of the most wicked city in the United States, and whether it deserved the title or not, it had in it in its earliest days all of the types of vice that made the gold colonies of '49 famous. Pool rooms, saloons, gambling houses, and dance halls. thrived on the recklessly spent money of the guncotton makers. Women unescorted were not safe on the streets. Taxi drivers and store keepers carried revolvers. One of the most remarkable land booms in American history took place here in this heotlc period. A typical Story is that a drunken man with $500 in his pocket who attended one of the sales of lots. He paid out one-fourth cash on lands as long as his money laster. Next day he was sober and penniless. A week later he had sold his holdings for $11,000. When the firing in Europe ceased, Hopewell was turning out daily 1,500,000 pounds of the explosive used in making smokeless powder. The order came to stop work as soon as possible, and in a month the 45,000 population had dropped to 3,000. People who had come into Hopewell riding on top of crowded trains now fought to get away. Furniture was moved in every possible kind of conveyance, and even abandoned. Storekeepers tried desperately to sell out Btock and close business. Hopewell was part of the war and nothing more, people said. Its day was done and the village of tar paper houses would fall into ruin. The Du Pont company started work at once to dispose of all materials and machinery that could be salvaged. Once, some one had asked if the Say "Bayer" and Insist! uiiiess you see tiie name "Bayer" on package or on tablets you are not getting the genuine Bayer product prescribed by physicians over twentytwo years and proved 6afe by millions for Colds Headache Toothache ' Lumbago Earache Rheumatism Neuralgia Pain, Pain Accept only "Bayer" package which contains proper directions.

When a Fefler Needs a Friend

great munition plant could not be operated after the war. "But, this plant could produce enough guncotton in a week to run the United States a year in peace time." answered an official. "It could possibly be used for dye making," he added, 'but it would make enough dyes in five days to supply America for 12 months." Pronounced Dead by Experts Experts looked at the deserted city, built at a cost of $45,000,000, shook their heads and pronounced it permanently and totally defunct. And it did seem that they were right Hopewell, the primitive and intense, was reduced to the rustic amusement of sitting in front of the boarded shops on Broadway and arguing over the possible future of a watermelon vine that had worked its way through a crack in the concrete pavement You must recall some of this in order to understand Hopewell as it is now. About three years ago an enterprising trunk manufacturer bought some of the- machinery that was being carted away and set up a factory. Other manufacturers followed, and today eight plants are busy making artificial silk, china, pulp, tools, and other articles. The City has a population of 10,000, one plant alone employing 2,200, and other workers como to the factories from Petersburg. Broadway, Hopewell's Main street, is again a headquarters for active business. Making a tour of Hopewell Is like looking at a patchwork quilt containing bits of s'ik, torn calico, and substantial linen. There are a dozen different sides to Hopewell, and each is restricted to its own part of the town. In one section are rows of streets lined with well kept homes such as MOTHER! MOVE CHILD'SJOWELS "California Fig Syrup" is Child's Best Laxative Even if cross, feverish, bilious, constipated or full of cold, children love the "fruity" taste. of "California Fig Syrup." A teaspoonful never fails to clean the liver and bowels.- In a few i hours you can see for yourself how; thoroughly it works all the souring' food and nasty bile out of the etom- i ach and bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Millions of mothers keep "California Fig Syrup" handy. They know a teaspoonful today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for genuine "California Fig Syrup" which has .directions for babies and children of all ages printed on bottle. Mother! You must say "California" or you may get an imitation fig syrup. Advertise-

After Dinner Stories

A new arival at a Western ranch was persuaded to mount a bucking horee. ite was scarcely on the animal's back before he was off again over the horse's head. "What's the mater?" asked the old-timer who picked him up. "Why, she bucked," said the tenderfoot. "Bucked?" returned the other. 'Bucked?" Go on! She only coughed." Boston Transcript. you find in any attractive suburb. This is "A" village where offrciala of the guncotton plant once lived. Most of the houses were built of permanent construction and were more pretentious than the homes for the factory workers. You leave this quarter and come to another, entirely different section. Here you pass hundreds of gray and black tar paper bungalows. This is one of the villages where the workers and their families were housed. Some of the temporary houses are falling to pieces. Some have been scrapped. Whole blocks of them, however, have been bought by the new factories to be rented to their employes, and these homes are being remodeled. Red, green or brown shingling is laid over the tar paper; wooden underpinning is replaced by brick: Interiors are ceiled. The bungalows already had electricity and up-to-date sanitation. Still Resembles War Zone N Beyond the village another side of Hopewell comes into view. This is the industrial section, the city of Hopewell proper. In 191S the DuPonts thought that a year would surely see their war plant salvaged. Fdr three years they have been tearing down, hauling away, selling dynamiting and burning. But parts of the industrial section still look like a war zone.

This matter will bo settled once for all by the fingerprint system, and a good many flappers will now be humming quietly: Lives of show girls oft remind us VVe can make our lives sublime And. in parting, leave behind us Fingerprints on the ink of time. ,Five hospital nurses in JCentiirif suspended for bobbing their hair. If we were running a hospital we would suspend them if they didn't. "What are we eoinnr to do if M farmers loaf?" asks an editorial. Well, maybe the rest of us will have to go to work. Paris dressmakers have moved ih waistline again, but no matter where they locate it. the young man's arm will find it. could not be sold because they had been affected by acids. There was nothing to do but dynamite there buildings and fire the ruins. You ride down roads with either side and you see in the tall grass long rows of charred wooden stakes and heaps of brick and iiinlr where for three wars stood nhnnn costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. One of the few acid houses not yet dynamited stands in a tottering condition as if it had been staggered bv an earthquake. Other abandoned buildings are in better repair. A million dollar power house that could be run by two men stand3 just as If it were locked up and left when the guncotton plant closed down. A number of warehouses and shops have been taken over by the new industries. One warehouse is pointed ,

out as a place where spools for tex- i

ttle mala are being made by a young . . American ace. I He bad once worked in a textile plant and he had learned that dogwood makes the most satisfactory spooU for such a plant- When he left the air service he took this warehouse and began shipping in carloads of dogwood to turn his knowledge into money. Aciws the way from the aviator's plant is another shop belonging to a business man. This manufacturer has invented a dishwashing machine, and he decided to buy his own plant and make it himself. In still another corner of this patchwork city you see a row of tumbledown and deserted wooden shacks on

the bank of the Appomattox river. This Is one of the odd relics of the war. It was a squatters corner jn the boom days. Workers who could not find cottages were permitted to build their own shacks here and pay $3 a month ground rent until they could make better arrangements.

This land still belongs to the Eppes family, the original owners of Hopewell. An Eppes received a grant of the land from the English king in 1661, and came over on the good ship Hopswell to take possession. The Eppes mansion, on a high point of land where the Appomattox river joins the James, is still another distinct side of Hopewell. " Here is an old historic Virginia residence, surrounded by its Stately grounds and fields, quietly aloof from the ups and downs of industrial Hopewell. One more feature of the city the Red Cross stands out. In most places the Red Cross is one of numer- . ous welfare agencies. In Hopewell, it is the' only welfare agency, andf Charles Turner, the Red Cross man, is the best known character in town. The DuPonts preferred all welfare work to be done by one organization, and the Red Cross happened to be selected. The Hopewell Red Cross, therefore engaged, and still engages, in lines of work done by no other Chapter in the country. Mr. Turner conducts an emergency hospital, an employment agency, a day nursery, a community Christmas tree. He collects about 3,000 garments a year for persons in need. He keeps a loan closet containing all sorts of sick room supplies. And he gives aid and relief of every imaginable kind.
