HIGHLAND RECORDER VOL. XXXII MONTEREY, HIGHLAND COUNTY VA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1910 NO. 46 100 Million Dollars Worth of Shoes These are stupendous figures, yet this is the yearly amount that the South spends for shoes. As a curiosity these figures may attract you for a minute, but the most curious thing about them is that three quarters of this money is regularly sent away from the South and the South is that much poorer for it You trade at a Southern shoe store. You give the dealer your money. You probably buy a western or northern made shoe. When the dealer pays his bill, this money, less a small per cent to the dealer, goes north or west and the South is that much poorer. Keep your money at home. Let it work for better times, better wages, more factories, more work for Southern people. Ask your dealer for The Craddock Shoe. Made in the South, by white labor, for Southern gentlemen. The best shoe value offered by any maker in the land for $3.50 and $4.00. Money spent for Craddock Shoes stays in the South, and pays Southern labor, Southern grocers, bakers and butchers. It builds Southern factories, homes and schools. We can support more and better industries. Let's each do his part. CRADDOCK-TERRY CO. Lynchburg, Va.

One takes a higher posl tion thau the rest and makes a signa with his fore paw. .\t this signal thi others sit around him and listen. Whei they are ail seated he begins to utte a series of sounds. Wheu he stop; these cries he makes another signa with his paw, and the others cry ou until he makes a third signal, upoi which they become silent again. Thi author. Mr. Maregrove. asserts that h> was a witness to the«e preachings. A Use For Him. 'That horse of yours looks terrlbl* run dowu." "Yes." replied Uncle Si Simlln. "Why do you keep him?"

( The Hindu Jugglers and acrobats are tbe most skillful In the world. One of tbe latest stories told of them ls aliout a performer who weut through many wonderful feats perched ou the top of a single bamboo stick about Hfteen feet in height. The top of the stick was tied lo a girdle around his waist, and a leg rest was provided by a cush¬ ion a few feet down the pole. Perch¬ ed on this slender stick he hopped aud danced about In the liveliest way. ac¬ companied by the tapping of a drum. It would be considered a akillful feat to walk about with ease on a pair of stilts fifteen feet lu height, but this Hindu showed a marvelous power of equilibrium on a single stick. He did other things even more wonderful. For example, he balauced a light stick on his nose and a heavy one on his chin | and then threw the heavy one Into thc air with his head and caught ii on rite end of a light one. While balancing the two sticks thus, end on end. b; made one revolve In one direction an. the other in the opposite direction. "Grey" and "Gray." What is the difference. If any. lu tween "grey" and "gray." aside fr... tbe matter of spelling? The editor of the Oxford IMctiomtr some years ago made extended ii, jo. as to usage and found that opinions London varied. Replies to his que tions showed that lu Great Britain di form grey ls the more frequent iu us, despite the authority of Dr. .lohnsi.i and later lexicographers, who give th preference to gray. Many correspond ems said that they used the two fenn with a difference of meaning or appli cation, tbe distinction most generalh recognized # I teing that grey denotes a more delicate or lighter tint than gray. Others considered the difference lo be that gray is u warmer color or that ii has a mixture of red or brown. An other group held that grey has more of sentiment, gray more of color, which may mean that grey ls a suggestion rather than a positive outline..New York Press. Twice Declined.

Tbe next year, however, the same mis¬ take was made, so the old Judge wrote back to the aid-de-camp In walting: "Slr Antoine Dorion accepts, etc.. but. her ladyship being still In St Anne's cemetery. Sir Antoine ls com¬ pelled again to decline the Invitation for ber." A New Game. William ls the only son of a pious minister, and. though he ls only three and a half years of age. his father considers lt quite time be leurned properly to observe grace on coming to tbe table. His parents have more ; than once endeavored to explain to him the reasons for lils so doing, but the little boy regards lt as no more than an amusing game. The other afternoon his older sister made another attempt to Interest him In fhis duty. All were seated at din¬ ner, and on the first words of the grace William's small head dropped in his hands In apparent reverence His sister, secretly pleased with her success, stole a glance at him. when, to the consternation of the family, he sprang up. shouting gleefully: "Ob.

Tlie first display ot the uatlonal flag at a military post was at Kort Schuy¬ ler, on the site of the present city of Home. N. Y. The fort was besieged early In August 1777. Tbe garrison was without u flag, so one was made according to the prescription of con¬ gress by cutting up sheets to form the v. bite stripes, bits of scarlet cloth for tbe red stripes, and the blue ground for tbe stars was made from a piece of the blue cloak belonging to Captain Abraham Swartwout of Dutchess county. N. Y. This flag was unfurled over the fort on Aug. 3, 1*77. The natloual flag was first unfurled In battle on tbe banks of the Brandy¬ wine Sept. ll, 1777. The flag was first hoisted over a foreign stronghold June 28, 1778, when Captain Rathbone of the American sloop of war Provi¬ dence captured Fort Nassau, on the Bahama Islands. Captain Paul Jones was tbe first man to display the Amer¬ ican flag on nu American vessel. Thia flag was made by tbe women of Ports¬ mouth. N. H.. for the Hanger, which was flited ont at that port for Captain Jones. The Ranger sailed from Ports¬ mouth on .Nov. 1, 1777. Buried Landscapes. One of the most curious results of geological exploration ls the discovery of "burled landscapes." by which ls meant parts of the former face of the earth now covered tinder later depos¬ its, but yet retaining so many of their original features that the geologist can ideally reconstruct the scenes that would have been presented to the eye of man if be had been present among them. Sometimes buried landscapes exist in couutrles now densely Inhabit¬ ed. Investigation has showu that oue lies beneath the region In Eugland known as Charnwood forest The rocky projections seen there are the peaks and aretes of a hurled mountain chain belonging io the old red sand¬ stone period. Several different phases in the history of this landscape have been traced. At one time lt contained salt lakes aud desert expanses. In Its modern form it ls a pastoral region, with barren, stouy tracts and rocky eminences where the ancient moun¬ tains projet* through the soil..Detroit Free Press. Whittler as a Horseman. Boggs. a cadet cavalry officer at West Point academy, was an assist¬ ant In the riding hall. Ou one occa¬ sion he overheard Whistler, who thor¬ oughly disliked to ride, objecting stren¬ uously to tlie horse brought for his use. Tbe horse, he argued, was too heavily built and much too large for a man of his size. Whistler, with much vehemence, urged the man next him to "swap." The man with whom he wished to exchange horses was of muscular build and a "pretty generous size" and his horse a lightweight an¬ imal, ro lt seemed to Whistler that lt would be a "most fitting exchange." "Oh. don't swap! Don't you swap. Mr. Whistler" cried the dragoon. "Yourg Is a war horse, slr!" "A war horse!" exclaimed Whistler. "That settles lt. I certainly don't want him." "Yes. you do. slr." reiterated the man. "le's a war horse. I tell you. for he'd rather, die than run.".Century. Among Those Present.

Few New Yorkers ever stop to think that one of that city's chief attractions is the surf. Philadelpbians must go fifty-six miles to the ocean. Though the folk of Baltimore aud Washington live on tidewater, they must travel for surf bathing to the capes. Boston ls the only other large town on the At¬ lantic seaboard besides New York that has the ocean at its back door. San Francisco and Los Angeles are the only Pacific coast cities within trolley ride of ocean beach. None of tbe Mex¬ ican gulf cities can be compared to New York as a seaside resort aud as to New Orleans, another Mecca of the pleasure seekers, that lies more thau 100 miles above the mouth of the Mis¬ sissippi But. including Coney Island aud Rockaway, a good many miles of Greater New York are bounded by tbe ocean.

"1 was on an oceun liner when she ran on the rocks off the English coast some years ago." said a traveling man. "and in the panic that ensued there ls one incident that stands out In my memory, Illustrating the slender thread between the tragic and the ridiculous. We had a fellow on board who had managed to keep pretty well loaded all tbe way across, and when .we struck tbe rocks be was In bis usual condition. When everybody thought for sure we were going to the bottom be sat down at tbe plano In tbe saloon, and what do you suppose be began playing? 'Home, Sweet Home.' Some¬ body went to bim and begged him to stop. Immediately he switched off from tbe doleful strains of tbe old song to the rollicking melody of 'Down Went MeGInty.' The absurdity of the thing seemed to strike everybody at once, and a general laugh followed. The tension was relieved, and there waa good order after that" The Restaurant Piccolo. Writing from Dresden, an American says: "There ls at least oue thing in a German restaurant for which one would look in vain in our country. That Is tbe piccolo. You may think that I mean a musical instrument and that any orchestra In any country might have one of these, but you are wrong. My piccolo, the one at tbe restaurant, is a human being. He is a boy twelve to fifteen years old. who assists the regular waiters. He wears tbe regulation walter's costume and looks funny In bis spiketali coat. He is as solemn as a funeral, knows bow to extract a tip and for tbe high priv liege of retaining his place and taking his first degree as a walter must en¬ dure much abuse at the hands of tbe bead waiter and bis underlings. He Is a funny little fellow, this piccolo, who because of his appearance could never prosper in our country.".Bew York Tribune. Created a New Word. It was the third Earl Spencer who added a word to the language In conse¬ quence of a wager. Tbe bet was that by cutting off the tall part of his over¬ coat he could bring into fashion over¬ coats so short that the skirts of the undercoat would show beneath,. He won his wager, and "spencer" became the name both of that garment and of the feminine one afterward construct¬ ed in its likeness. The peerage bas added more than one name to the terminology of costume. Everybody knows "Wellingtons." aud the billy¬ cock hat ls said by some to be really "Billy Coke." from Coke of Norfolk, earl of leicester. But none of these examples In the sphere of clothes rivals what tbe Earl of Sandwich did when be contrived the slice of meat between bread as a device to enable him to go on gambling without leaving off for a meal..London Chronicle.

If the oriental plague which has been dormant on the Pacific coast for some years, should ever come East, the safety of the people would depend upon the extermi¬ nation of squirrels and other ro¬ dents more than upon any other factor. Such was the assertion made here recently by Dr. W. C. Rucker, a distinguished scientist who attended the meeting of the Amry Surgeons' Association here. Dr. Rucker led the fight against the plague on the coast, and is now carrying on an extensive cam¬ paign, the main object of which is the extermination of the rodents in the territory where plague germs have been spread. Dr. Rucker is working on the principle that the plague is spreading among rodents and men by fleas, which suck the germs of the disease from infected animals and carry them to healthy persons. He has the approyal of all scientists familiar with the mat¬ ter in urging the extermination of rodent as an essential to combat the plague. COLLEGEMNSTEADOlFjAIL William Allen, 17 years old, of Brooklin, probably will go to col- Jege instead of to jail. In conse¬ quence of his having committed a theft his ambition to become versed in the sciences, especially in wire¬ less telegraphy and other branches of electricity, became known to his employer and to Chief Magistrate Kempner, of Brooklyn. Although the youngster was held in $500 bail to await the action of the grand jury, he was sent to the Children's Society and an effort will be made to have his sentence suspended and to have him sent to college. Allen was arrested on the com¬ plaint of Thomas Lamb, a druggist. The charge was that on October 29 the boy took $55 from a drawer in an open safe in the drug store. Allen has worked for Lamb for more than a year. He was taken before Magistrate Kempner and straightway plead guilty. The story of the youngster's de¬ votion to science was then told. Allen had been reading about wire¬ less telegraphy and studying elec¬ tricity as much as he could from a few books and such small pieces of apparatus as he could buy. He is small for his age, but has the head of a student. He does not have the appearance of a thief and his employer spoke highly of his indus¬ try and his obedience. Lamb was much impressed by the boy's story. He said to the Magistrate: "I hope it will not be necessary to send this boy to jail. I am will¬ ing to withdraw the charge against him and I will do everything in my power to have the sentence sus¬ pended. If I can get him free I shall gladly give money to have him sent to college. I have always found him obedient and I think a chap so eager to learn should be ] encouraged." j The Court felt obliged to hold the boy, but arranged that he should be sent to the Children's Society so the youngster would no* have to go to prison.

100 Million DollarsWorth of Shoes
These are stupendous figures, yet this is the yearlyamount that the South spends for shoes. As a curiositythese figures may attract you for a minute, but the mostcurious thing about them is that three quarters of this
money is regularly sent away from the South and theSouth is that much poorer for it
You trade at a Southern shoe store. You give thedealer your money. You probably buy a western or
northern made shoe. When the dealer pays his bill, this
money, less a small per cent to the dealer, goes north or
west and the South is that much poorer.Keep your money at home. Let it work for better
times, better wages, more factories, more work forSouthern people.
Ask your dealer for The Craddock Shoe. Made inthe South, by white labor, for Southern gentlemen. Thebest shoe value offered by any maker in the land for$3.50 and $4.00. Money spent for Craddock Shoes staysin the South, and pays Southern labor, Southern grocers,bakers and butchers.
It builds Southern factories, homes and schools.We can support more and better industries. Let's

Hindu Juggling. (
The Hindu Jugglers and acrobats are
tbe most skillful In the world. One of
tbe latest stories told of them ls aliout
a performer who weut through manywonderful feats perched ou the top of
a single bamboo stick about Hfteenfeet in height. The top of the stickwas tied lo a girdle around his waist,and a leg rest was provided by a cush¬ion a few feet down the pole. Perch¬ed on this slender stick he hopped auddanced about In the liveliest way. ac¬
companied by the tapping of a drum.It would be considered a akillful featto walk about with ease on a pair ofstilts fifteen feet lu height, but thisHindu showed a marvelous power of
equilibrium on a single stick. He didother things even more wonderful. Forexample, he balauced a light stick on
his nose and a heavy one on his chin
| and then threw the heavy one Into thcair with his head and caught ii on riteend of a light one. While balancingthe two sticks thus, end on end. b;made one revolve In one direction an.
the other in the opposite direction.

heavily built and much too large for a
man of his size. Whistler, with muchvehemence, urged the man next himto "swap." The man with whom hewished to exchange horses was ofmuscular build and a "pretty generoussize" and his horse a lightweight an¬
imal, ro lt seemed to Whistler that ltwould be a "most fitting exchange.""Oh. don't swap! Don't you swap.

SQUIRRELS SPREAD PLAGUERichmond, Va., Nov. 9, 1910..
If the oriental plague which hasbeen dormant on the Pacific coastfor some years, should ever come
East, the safety of the peoplewould depend upon the extermi¬nation of squirrels and other ro¬
dents more than upon any otherfactor. Such was the assertionmade here recently by Dr. W. C.Rucker, a distinguished scientistwho attended the meeting of theAmry Surgeons' Association here.
Dr. Rucker led the fight againstthe plague on the coast, and isnow carrying on an extensive cam¬
paign, the main object of which isthe extermination of the rodentsin the territory where plague germshave been spread. Dr. Rucker isworking on the principle that theplague is spreading among rodentsand men by fleas, which suck thegerms of the disease from infectedanimals and carry them to healthypersons. He has the approyal ofall scientists familiar with the mat¬
ter in urging the extermination ofrodent as an essential to combatthe plague.
COLLEGEMNSTEADOlFjAILWilliam Allen, 17 years old, of
Brooklin, probably will go to col-
Jege instead of to jail. In conse¬
quence of his having committed a
theft his ambition to become versedin the sciences, especially in wire¬less telegraphy and other branchesof electricity, became known to his
employer and to Chief MagistrateKempner, of Brooklyn. Althoughthe youngster was held in $500 bailto await the action of the grandjury, he was sent to the Children'sSociety and an effort will be madeto have his sentence suspended andto have him sent to college.
Allen was arrested on the com¬
plaint of Thomas Lamb, a druggist.The charge was that on October 29the boy took $55 from a drawer inan open safe in the drug store.Allen has worked for Lamb formore than a year. He was takenbefore Magistrate Kempner andstraightway plead guilty.The story of the youngster's de¬
votion to science was then told.Allen had been reading about wire¬less telegraphy and studying elec¬tricity as much as he could from a
few books and such small pieces ofapparatus as he could buy. He issmall for his age, but has the headof a student. He does not havethe appearance of a thief and his
employer spoke highly of his indus¬try and his obedience.Lamb was much impressed by
the boy's story. He said to theMagistrate:
"I hope it will not be necessaryto send this boy to jail. I am will¬
ing to withdraw the charge againsthim and I will do everything in mypower to have the sentence sus¬
pended. If I can get him free Ishall gladly give money to havehim sent to college. I have alwaysfound him obedient and I think a
chap so eager to learn should be
] encouraged."j The Court felt obliged to holdthe boy, but arranged that heshould be sent to the Children'sSociety so the youngster would no*
have to go to prison.Notice to Taxpayers
