Their Train Will Arrive ia Thia City Early ia the Morning. Wed nesday, October ll, and Will Be gin Unloading at Once - Great In terest Being Aroused?'Prepar edness'' Festnre n Grand Specta cle. Endorsed By the U, S. Army A great deal of preliminary in terest has been aroused by the an nouncement that the Buffalo Bill? 101 Ranch show is to exhibit in Ahoskie, Wednesday, Oct. 11? and there is no doubt that there will lie a big crowd on hand to see the strenuous performances prom ised for this notable exhibition. The show will arrive at an early hour inlbe morning and as rapid ly as possible the cars, will be un loaded and the paraphernalia transferred to the exhibition grounds near the Negro First Bap tist Cburch. It goes without say ing that a crowd of town as .well as out of-town people will be on hand to witness the sights and scenes incident to the arrival of the caravansary and the erection of the military and frontier camps. A great show is promised, and what ia especially interesting is the announcement that Buffalo Bill will absolutely be "in the Hud dle at both performances." The performance will introduce the great military spectacle, "Prepar edness;" which has aroused a tre mendous amount of interest and enthusiasm, and which has the en dorsement of the U. S. IWar De partment; a battle between white settlers and Indiaus; scenes from the early days in the far West, when the Borderland was in the making; 'the actual life of the great cattle ranches, with its sport and dangers, including a realistic round ud long-horned * Texas cat tle, and many other strenuous and exhilarating displays. Naturally, the greatest interest will be concentrated upon the "Preparedness" spectacle, for that is a subject that is very much in the public conscious' ess at the present time. Realism is i i v.en to this striking military display by the fact that participants are sold iers furloughed from the United 8thtes Army especially toappear in this patriotic production. There are reviews, marches, sabre drills, cayairy charges, artillery practice, and a sham battle, in which every branch of the service is strenuous ly utilized. There will be only two perform ances in this city, but tbe.v will be complete in every way. They will take place a? 3:15 end 8:15. At R):30 there will be a big military and Far West parade, in which the processional resources of the big street will be gei<erously dis played. f The U. S. army recruiting tent will be open on the grounds all day to receive enlistments for ser vice on the Mexican border. Drives Out Materia, Build? Up System Tkt Old stmndnrd |anl ntrcnstbcaior tonic.

Make Your Plana Early to Call on the M?n of tke Drainage Diviaion of tbe Experiment Station?Fix the Cauae for Dow Yields on Low Landa and Give Attention to Hilla In the winter, when moet nf the land is comparatively free from growiog crops, ia the time to take up plan for drainage and terracing. When the men of the Drainage Division uf the Expe imentStation are to be called on,the landowner should make his plans now, fn the early fall, so that his request for aid may be on file aud that he may have his regular turn. Later in the winter the Drainage Division will be besieged with requests and will not be able to answer them all. It is now, also, that the land owner should fix the eause for low yields on low lands, and failures in the crops planted in low places. He should also give attention to the hillside that seems to be barren because of the heavy rains. Sometimes the reasons for a poor crop aie readily seen and its failure lie predicted in advance. Then, again, crop failures are less easily understood. Sometimes the cause is due to lack of plant food, lack of bacteria, too much or too little soil moisture, or other matters easily remedied. Sometimes, though, the application of the necessary fertilizer without the proper mixture of moisture will have little or no effect in produc ing a crop. It is water, then, that has the principal function in the pro duction of a maximum ctoo, and its control if one of the most essential things in successful farming. One of the first things tb do about this control is to determine whether the supply is uniformly sufficient. Drainage will, to a great extent, correct this {rouble. It in due Ui these facts about drainage that the Diviaion of Drainage i* lending its efforts towards solving its uroblems. Its work is not only to investigate the principles involved and the best methods ada pted to certain lands, but to give this experience to such land owners as may need aid and help them with their individual problems. The work of the Division .may be classed as follows: 1. Improvement of farm lands now under cultivation by means of drainage and terracing. 2. Investigations of the drainage of swamp and overflowed lands. 3. Collection of general and technical data on drainage. 4. Preliminary and reconnais sance work. I SOYBEANS A VALUABLE FEED FOR BOSS. ' On the Edgecombe Test Farm, which is a center of a great pea nut and soybean producing section, several tests have been conducted for the purpose of deterimining the value of these foods as a graz ing crop for hogs. Last fall, from October 29th until December 28th, a lest was made to determine the value of five acres of soybean pasture. TW beans did not grow well and were far below the average. They were planted in rows and cultivated, but many were planted too late for grszing in the early fall. For this it was not until October 29th wten the test was begun. Eighteen pigs, weighing 87 pounds each, were turned on the beans on this date. In addition to the grazing, they were given a a fourth ration on nine-tenths corn plus' one tenth tankage. As a chegk lot, three other pigs Were placed in a bare lot and fed a fourth ration of nine tenths corn plus one-tenth tankage.

IK 111 OF HI U Menoli Hifh School Opens 1916-17 Session witlia YeeTTnj ~oT~ OpTcf" mism, on Monday, September 18 Prospects (or a Modern Buildinf Discussed Favorably?Miss Kate E. Storey, of Murfreeaboro, Prin cipal; Miss Joaie C.owan, Assistant. i It iii a beautiful Bight to see a community awakened to a senna of its responsibly for a great cause that has lain dormant for several years. Such was the case in Men ola on the morning of September the 18tb when pupils of years ago, patrons, and friends assembled at tne ringing of tne old bell in the dilapidated building for the open ing exercises of the re organized Menola High School. The ones that once nourished and fostere" this Institution have one by one passed out and unfor tunately their mantles seemed to have fallen on nobody?,but since the third generation has come up on the scene of action, their par ents realize that it is their duty to see that their children have even better school advantages than were afforded them, hence every face was beaming with enthusiasm and each heart was filled wifti all good wishes for a better school. Messrs. J. L. Snipes and J. M. Eley, Chairman and Secretary Treasurer of the lock) board of trustees, e tplained the purpose of the school and the financial basis oti which it will be run. We considered ourselves very fortunate in having with us one of our "preacher boys". Rev. C. J. D. Parker, imstor of the First Baptist Church of Danville, Va., who conducted the Idevotioual ex ercises and made a \ very timely speech in wbich heVreferred in loving memory, tnAJr^. Sophronia Brown, who laid the foundations of this school, u^d instilled into her pupils notunly the t hree "RV' but the principles of truth by which to live. He also spoke of others wh'o had done a great work here. Prof. Robert Brown, a member of the faculty of the School for the Blind at Raleigh, another one of our boys of whom we are justly proud, gave us an inspiring talk, in which he urged the boys and girls present to take advantage of the golden opportunities that lie at their doors. Mr. E. C. Parker made the speech of the day, when he re viewed the history of the school from its begiuning. through its prosperous and declining days, down to the present time. He em phasized the fart that the building has served well the present gener ation and that the time is now ripe for a modern structure to set ve the oncoming generation. Space forbids our mentioning all the talks made, for everybody present was called on for a speech and each one nobly responded, ex pressing a willingness to help ixt any way they can to better school conditions in this place. Miss Kate E. Storey, of Mur freesboro, is principal of the achool and comes to us highly recom mended. She is being ably assist ed by Miss Josie Cowan. The enrollmont is good and more is excreted. Plans will be formulated in the near future for a new building, which we hope an impetus to the interest already aroused for better education Reported.
