MODEL COUNTY ROADPLAN NEARS COMPLETION

Eligineers Report At Meeting Last

Week In Washington With Dele-

gation Prom Prince William

Present.

Otte of 'the most important steps

taken in the plan advanced by Dr.

S. M. Johnson, to make Prince Will,

liam County a model for the entire

country with respect to its roads, was

the meeting held last week in the

offices of the Highway Engineering

Bureau, Washington.

With members of this bureau and

highway engineers of prominence, as

well as members of the Prince Wil-

liam County Board of Supervisors,

and representatives of the Kiwanis

Club and Prince William Chamber of

Commerce present, an interesting re-

port was made on the survey just

completed by representatives of the

Highway Engineering Bureau.

The work done thus far consists of

•a "fact-finding" survey,. a search for

every form of information that may

be of value in planning the proposed

highway system. Maps show the lo-

cation of the roads and their condi-

tion and indicate the present tangled

network from which it is necessary

to develop a comprehensive system of

highways.Economical Side Considered.

'he economical side of the problem

has been dealt with in much detail

and special care has been taken to

collect all information pertaining to

that phase of • the work. Practically

every road in the county has been

inspected, their lengths, widths, char-

acters and conditions noted. Bridges

and culverts have been examined.

Samples of local road building ma-

hive been collected and classl-

4FL4 it is the plan of411,13ureauto go still further into ase—of

the problem.

The next steps to be taken in car-

rying an this work will consist of

planning the proposed highway sys-

tem from the standpoint of location,

types of construction, and order of

construction based on traffic demands

and the ability of the County to fi-

nance such a program, according to

?red E. Schnepfe, managing engineer

of the Highway Engineering Bureau,

under whose particular direction the

survey of Prince William was made.

On Thursday last, Mr. Schnepfe

headed a delegation of highway engi-

neers to Manassas where they were

entertained at luncheon by a group of

• citizens and afterwards conducted on

a tour of inspection.

The condition of many of the coun-

ty roads, due to rain, and other

things, caused an abandonment of

much of the inspection trip, but the

engineers will return at an early date

to complete a county-wide investiga-

tion of the roads.

GERMANS PRAISEVIRGINIA MARKETS

Richmond, Dec. 18.—Virginia's

progress in marketing farm products

has attracted the attention of the in-

stitute for farm marketing in Berlin,

Germany, established this year for

the first time in connection witli the

State Agricultural College in Berlin.

Prof. K. Brandt, director of the

institnte, has written J. H. Meek, Vir-

ginia, director of markets, for copies

of the State acts on standardization

and inspection of farm products

"I am convinced," wrote Professor

Brand, "that your fast-progressing

work in the marketing of farm prod-

ucts will give us many good points for

our work in the same field."Pamphlets were sent by the State

director covering inspection of agri-

culturel products, fruits and vege-

tables; grading and marketing of ap-

ples, rules for certifying pailtry

flocks and for certifying hatcheries.

The German institute was also placed

on the mailing list of the Virginia de-

partment.

members during the winter.

The performance of Paul Bliss' In-

dian operetta, "The ifeast of the Red

Corn", given by the

Manassas High

School Glee Club in the school andi-

rinin on Estn, added fartiker

luster to the sparking crown of this

splendid musical oiganization.

The operetta centered around the

desire of the Indian 'queen, "WehdaWants", to find the red ear at the

annual "Feast of the Red Corn". She

seeks to find the red ear in order to

have granted her wish to see an im-

age of her king, who had been away

Formal announcement that he would

appoint Harris Hart, incumbent, state

superintendent of- public instruction,

was made by •Governor-elect. John

Garland Pollard Tuesday.

Mr. Hart received his B. A. de-

gree from Richmond College and sub-

sequently did graduate work at Har-

vard and the University of Chicago.

The incoming governor later will an-

nounce his appointments for the new

Board of Education to include seem

Robert M. Hughes, Cr., of Norfolk, and

H. H. Harris, Lynchburg, have been

offered places on the board, it is said.

At least one--Mr. Trinkle—has indi-

The new board replaces the old

group of eight, including the gover-

nor and attorney-general as ex-officio

members. In this capacity, Governor

Trinkle had four years'eicperience on

the board.

EPISODE

This comedy shows a whimsical

artist of vast romantic accomplish-

ments in the person of Anatol, who

comes to Max's apartment laden with a sorceress, declares that her desire

souvenirs of some of his past affairs, will not be realized for "great crime"

The host is a matter-of-fact friend, has been done. The Indians decide

and serves as a butt for the artist's ' that "Impee Light", sister of the

queen, is the one who has caused all

the trouble, for she always bothered

"Ftiagee", "Pudgee", and "Wudgee",

the three children of the queen.

Everything works out all right, how-

ever, and the queen, who found the

red ear, is granted her vision.

Eloise Compton, as the queen of the

tribe, sang "0 Star of the Farthest

North" exceptionally well.

When Hilda Moser, as the old

squaw, muttered and sang about

"green snakes" and "black spiders"

every one felt little shivers run up

his spine.Esther Warren Pattie, as "Impee

Light", also deserves praise for her

interpretation of the "Three Little

Bear" song.Christine Meetze, Pattie Hatcher,

and Frances Bultiong were "Fudgee",

"Pudgee", and "Wudgee", who always

"tattled of the pranks of "Impee

Light"..The choruses were effective and

tuneful and the songs delightful, while

the High School orchestra contrib-

uted much to the enjoyment of the

evening by their able playing of sev-

eral Indian numbers.

Miss Catherine Weir, the, director,

whose first effort with the Glee Club

was in the production of "The Nifty

Shop," which scored so heavily last

year, was at her best in the direction

of the Indian Operetta, and the hope

was freely expressed that she would

continue her interest in the production

of good musical performances by the

Glee ilub.

PREMIER GAMEWORTHY VICTORY

Close Score In Battle of Hoop.stern; Western High.

Losers.

Swavely handed Western High of

Washington its first defeat of the sea-son last Friday afternoon in the Wes-

tern Gym. The "Big White Team"played superior basket ball through-out the game, making the Westernerssuffer their first defeat on the homefloor in three years.

The Cavaliers completely out-pass-

ed their opponents, but were unableto score often from the floor becauseof the persistent fouling of the red-and-white team.

The Washingtonians found it ex-tremely hard to work the ball throughthe staunch defense of the Swavely-ites, although they did succeed in out-scoring the victors from the field.Swavely took some time to get un-

der way, but after the first quarter

the Whites took the lead which re-

mained theirs until the end.

The half ended 12-11, with the Cav_

aliers to the better. The last quar-

ter was the keenest„ Swavely being

at one time four points ahead. This

dwindled to the one-point lead which

characterised most of the game, end-ing with 20-19 as the score for Swave-

ly's hard-won victory.

IN MEMORIAM.

O 0001 702o o0 00 00 2

A tribute of soli to the memory of

our darling granddaughter who left

us so suddenly four months today,

August 16, 1929.

How we miss her sweet smile,

Of the one we loved so dear;

Often we listen for her coming,

Feeling sure that she is near.

How we miss the little footsteps,

How dear was her tender voice.

Now her little bodyLies in a heavenly bed.

No one knows the silent heartaches,

Only those that love can tell.

Of the grief that is born in silence,

For the one we loved so dear.Gone, but not forgotten.

Written by her grandmother,

most destructive enemy of bird life

and the cause of a considerable por-

tion of bird decrease.

Where grains, meat scraps, crumbs

Or like food is furnished it is urgent

that a feeding tray or box be erected

in a sheltered noow where snow and

rain will not cover or spoil the food

or the wind blow it away. As birds

like to search and find their food, the

location of these feeding places may

be under the protective bows of trees

or in houses placed on poles. Bread

crumbs, buckwheat, cracked corn,

pieces of apples and other solid fruits,

rolled oats, millet, cane seed, hemp,

wheat and several vegetables can be

utilized for this purpose.

In fact, when snows have cut short

the natural food supplies, birds that

remain with us throughout the winter

will appreciate scores of materials and

establish a habit of depending on the

menu, whatever it is. Peanuts,

crushed medium fine, are a favorite

diet for birds.Among all foods necessary to help

birds survive the rigors of cold weath_

er, there are few that are excessively

expensive, in fact none. Many suit-

able feeds are wasted around the

SORE THROATSAND COUGHS

Quickly Relieved By This SafePrescription.

Here's a doctor's prescription that

is really *throat insurance. Sore or

irritated throats are relieved and

soothed almost instantly with the very

first swallow. About 90% of all

coughs are caused by an irritated

throat; consequently for most coughs

too there is nothing better than thie

famous prescription—it goes direct to

the internal cause. It is put up under

the name Thoxine and is guaranteed

to stop coughs and relieve sore

throats in 16 minutes or your money

will be refunded. Singers and speak-

ers find Thoxine very valuable.

The remarkable thing about Thox-

Me is that while it relieves almost

instantly, it contains nothing harm-

ful, is pleasant tasting and safe for

the whole family. Ask for Thurine

THINGS OF THE SOILThe Manassas Journal's Complete Agricultural Service

By DAN VAN GORDER

Questions of lawns, gardens and general farming are discussed

In this department each week. Readers of The Manassas Journal are

invited to use this new column for the answer to their question and

the solution of their problems. Address all inquiries to The Manassas

Journal Information Bureau, Van Gorder News Service, Manassas,

Virginia.

POOR FOR BIRDS IN WINTER.

Birds have played no minor role in

the story of civilization. Besides the

ornamental and sentimental valuea to

the nation from a teeming bird life,

there has been discovered a tremen-

dous economic worth coming from the

industrious warfare these feathered

friends, of mankind is waging on de-

structive insects and other crop ene-

mies. This emphasizes the impor-

tance of restoring bird life bads to its

former numerical status, but was con-

sidered little in the scheme of pros-

perity until the fast dwindling num-

ber of birds brought to the nation's

attention their relation to the increas_

ing hordes of plant and crop destroy-

ing life.

Recent advice through this column

recommending suitable houses for

birds in winter and efforts to protect

them from their natural enemies and

supply them With food during the

months when nature's storehouse was

virtually closed to them, has brought

hundreds of letters from newspaper

readers telling of individual succor to

bird families. This should be refresh-

ing. It indicates that both city and

rural- residents are awakening to the

realization of the value of birds to

our national structure, and that thous-ands of people are joining in the in-dividual movement to protect and in-

crease them.

Many people are asking for sugges-

tions regarding the kinds of food birds

like, how it should be given to them,

and other information about methods

to attract and protect them.

Perhaps a larger number of birds

will be attracted and benefitted by

providing suet for them than by any

other feeding practice. Of course,

there are several birds that demand

grains, crumbs and similar materials.

Suet should be placed in holes bored

in posts or dead tree limbs. Many

birds friends place the suet in wire

containeds or other suitable recepta-

cles where the birds can easily reach

it without crowding or being com-

pelled to come too near dwellings or

home. If there were no other rewards

than the confiding delight of the birds

as they believe they have discovered

another inexhaustible source of food

from their never-failing mother Na-

ture, the expense and labor of invest-

ing in their behalf will well repay

their new friends.

There is also another practical

means of providing their food sup-

plies. There are several trees and

shrubs that furnish delectable berries

and small seedy fruits which birds

will congregate about and depend

upon for their meals in late fall and

winter. Berry bearing holly, sassa-

fras, bayberry, barberry, bittersweet,

several of the dogwoods, woodbine

and other native growths serve for a

natural supply well into winter. Many

of these trees and shrubs fit into

landscape plans of the lawn and sur-

rounding area in addition to serving

the birds their meal tickets. Sunflow-

ers also make excellent bird food, it

being unnecessary to cut the flowers,

letting them mature their seeds on

the stalk from which the birds will

eagerly harvest them.

There is little likelihood that the

entire food supply will be consumed

by the most preferable birds. Eng-

lish sparrows and other unwelcome

species will perhaps invade the feed-

ing precincts and tresspass on the

hospitality of the food donor and the

contentment of the other birds. But

despite the controversy over the

worth or lack of worth of such birds,

they all accomplish beneficial results

in man's war against insects that

prey on food crops. Even the English

sparrow makes up his diet largely

from weed seed and destructive in-

sects, notwithstanding his reputation

for an abnormal appetite for some of

the foods the gardener plans of us-

ing for the family table.Considerable damage to cherries,

plums, berries and other small fruitsmay be avoided by furnishing summerl

---birds with mulberries, June berries,elder berries and scores of other wildgrowths, the bushes, trees, or vines of

which can often be utilized for orna-

mental and shade purposes in various

small unused areas.

But whatever the means and meth-ods employed, every citizen shouldhelp in some way to increase thenumber of our bird life. Childrenshould be enlisted in the movement.Surely will follow a marked curtail-ment of our national insecticide billsand a reduction of the heavy toll tak-en from our basic food crops eachyear by preventable insect ravages.

CHRISTMAS DAY.."Oh! Blessed Day!O come to us amid the war of

life,To palace and hovel alike;To all who toil;To those ill warned and sorely

tempted,0! come to them, blest and

blessingChristmas Day!

Tell them again the tale ofBethlehem,

The kneeling shepherds) andthe Babe Divine,

And thus keep us thineOn Christmas Day. •0! Joyful Day!The Christ Day!0! Glorious Day!"

CHRISTMAS WISHES.We wish all our readers a

Merry Christmas; you and allyour folks. We wish for you

more than a Merry Christmas

with gifts, good health, andamusements; we wish for you aclearer conception of the signifi-

cance of Christmas.

We hope that the spirit and

manner in which you celebrate

the birth of the Christ may

make you recipients of His pow-

er and teaching, and that your

lives may be strengthened.

Sometimes in our . joy of gifts

and giving, we lose sight of what

it is all about.Merry Christmas!

TO CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS.Our merchants are to be con-

gratulated for their fine display

of Christmas articles. At no

time in recent years have our

business establishments beenmore thoroughly and completely

1930 for new construction andexpansion of facilities, and forimprovement to existing prop-erties. This will exceed the 1929budget by more than $100,000,-000.

This gigantic expenditure, ac-cording to public utility repre-sentatives who laid informationbefore President Hoover, willnot only be sufficient to keeputility employment at a highlevel, but will provide enoymousorders to be filled by the manythousands of employes in relatedindustries. None of the utilitycompanies plan, or have evenconsidered, wage reductions andin a number of instances first-of-the-year increases for em-ployes will be forthcoming.The public utilities are prob-

ably the best existing barometerof American progress and pros-perity. Their successful opera-tion is dependent upon the con-ditions within the thousands offactories and fienes which con-sume gas-- and power. Theywould be the first to feel a se-rious business depression, andthe first to retrench. And thefact that ttteir plans for thecoming year will make it thegreatest period of progress intheir 'history should be sufficientanswer to those who have prop-hesied 1a gloomy future for thewage-earners and producers ofthe nation.

IMPROVE FARM MARKETROADS.

Good roads have reduced theaverage automobile operatingcost from 10 cents a mile to sixand one-half cents in the lastfive years, according to an au-thoritative report. Savings areeffected in gasoline and wear andtear on tires and machinery. Aswell, the good road providesgreater comfort and safety.

It has long been observed thatgood roads pay for themselvesmany times over. They are notan expense but a dividend-re-turning investment.Wider trunk roads and water-

proof surfaces on thousands ofmiles of secondary or farm mar-ket roads is of main importancetoday in any well-balanced roadbuilding program.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSONFOR DECEMBER 22, 1929.

The International Sunday SchoolLesson for December 22 is "SomeSocial Teachings of The Bible:The Child in a Christian World"—Luke 2:8-20.

By WILLIAM T. EL6S.In New York •State there is a new

home in which I am intimately interested; the moat complete and beauti-ful and modern home known to me.It is the result of college-trainedbrains—the wife having specialized inart and the husband having had archi-tecture for a major study—and of theskill of an exceptional builder. Witha fine sense of color and line and har-mony, the young people have createda house that is an artistic unity. Theyare disturbed when a blue-borderedtowel wanders into the green-tiledbathroom, or vice-versa!When I visited this home the other

day, what should I find in the centerof the carefully-proportioned andpainstakingly furnished living room,but a big, square baby pen, paddledand draped with blankets—a most in-artistic and incongruous bit of equip-inent for that exquisite 'l'oom. Yet theyoung parents never thought of that.All of their finely-spun color schemesand achievement of artistic unity hadbeen drowned in a flood of devotion totheir wonderful baby. Nothing elsematters now in that home except theirrust-born: her comfort, her conven-ience, her well-being.

44aturally, the situation was a ger_men on the child's place in the cen-ter of the home. Other considerationswere subordinated to the interest ofthe infant. Gone are the mother'sdreams of a "career" in art: the babyfills her life with activity and:happi-ness. The father's ambition0($11 havea new and beautiful objective and re-ward. Life revolves joyfully aboutthe child. That wonder-house has asits center and its delight a cooingbaby. These "modern" young peoplehave reverted to the oldest ideal oflife.

The Sceptre of the Child.God made us that way. However

wide an arc light may sweep, it re-turns inevitably to the cradle, the su-preme concern. In a large, true sense,which reveals a Divine Providence,humanity is ruled by the babe. Ulti-mate rewards are received from pinkand crinkly baby fingers. An infant'ssmile means more than the plauditsof multitudes. What are millions ofmoney, if the children and grandchil-dren are missing or marred?

Life's rejuvenation comes by way ofthe cradle. All the old,Itale and un-satisfactory things give way to thefreshness of a new-born babe: No

tCtS,,flsflflsSSflSSfltS.tflt.fl .53

body ever was ieally satisfied withwealth or fame or ease or luxury orsocial recognition: but millions ofmen ond women have found life's su-preme joy and compensation in theirchildren. '

Not unwittingly did God reveal Hismind and expreas His sovereignty bysending His only Sop into the world141.. s just such a bedhtiful Babe asl

every mother knows. Thus the Fa-ther of life appealed to the fullestcomprehension and deepest instinctsof His children. The Christmas cribdid more than reveal the love of God:it acCentuated -the hope of humanity.On the level of the cradle there is al-ways a fresh beginning. And Bethle-hem set the seal of the Divine uponthe place of the child in the home.

Applying The Child-Test.

After the Bethlehem Babe had be-come the world's Teacher, he appliedthe child-test to fitness for citizen-sip in the kingdom of heaven. Allold philosophies, with their exaltationof wisdom, shrivel into unrealityalongside of the words of Jesus: "Suf-fer the little children to come untoMe, and forbid them not: for of suchis the kingdom of God".

It is the child-heart, and not theman2mind, that best perceives God.

Measured by the child-test, mostof the goals to which men give them-selves prove inadequate.

What does great wealth mean toa child? It would rather have af-fection and understanding.

Imagine a modern night-club witha little child present.Fame means less to a child than

nal has a Christmassy appear-ance flue to the wisdom of ourprogressive merchants and busi-ness houses who are telling youthrough the columns of this pa-per their Yuletide messages.Our advertising pages are brim-ful of interest) and informationfor thrifty shoppers. Read' themand judge for yourselves. Shopat home and help build our homeindustries. Do it now! '

TWO BILLIONS FORPROGRESS. .

The confidence felt by publicutility executives in the immed-iate industrial future of Amer-

ica is shown by the fact that

gas, electric and street railway

companies contemplate spending

almost $2,000,000,000 during

an increase in the sugar tariff.Mr. Shattuck's employment, ac-cording to the witness, was-be-cause of his close associationwith the President and the factthat he had long known SenatorSmOot, Republican Chairman ofthe Senate Finance Committee,in charge of the tariff bill.From letters in the file of Mr.

Lakin it was disclosed that thewitness had written to GeneralEnoch H. Crowder concerningMr. Shattuck:"I think I have persuaded him

(Shattuck) to undertake a con-fidential mission, first, to con-vince Mr. Hoover, and, secondly,to work on the committees andmembers of Congress on behalfof Cuba, and I believe I can in-duce several of the larger pro-

ducers here to bear the expense,'The amount the witness

thought Mr. Shattuck would re-ceive for. his services was about$50,000; he hoped it would notbe as much as $100,000.

, ator Smoot, but that Shattuck' would not accept employmentuntil he had obtained the Presi-dent's consent.No testimony was offered con-

cerning the details of any con-versations between the Presidentand Mr. Shattuck on tariff mat-ters other than the statementthat the President had consent-ed to Mr. Shattuck's employ-ment as a sugar lobbyist. 'Nuffsed.

No woman cares how chill theconcert is provided she's wearinga new dress and is seen byenough friends.

pet animal.Wisdom, in a child's eyes, is con-

fined to the simple, natural things;

and is mostly knowing how to love.

So the list of life's common prizes

might be continued and tested by the

presence .of ,the little child; just as

Jesus once set a child iS the midst of

His followers..

Further than that the Master went.

His criterion of doom was to hurt a

little child—a' fearful thought for all

modern exploiters of childhood. And

His measure of reward, was a cup of

cold water given to a child.

Indeed, the Son of God went so far

as to identify Himself with child-

hood's rights and needs, declaring

that "Inasmuch as ye have done itunto one of the least of these, ye

have done it unto Me".

The World and the Manger.

It is a very wonderful thing, thatin this year 1929, at the peak of

what sociologists call "the machineage", there should be a wider, deep-er interest in the message of themanger than hitherto throughout alltime. Due largely to the ubiquity

of the radio, Christmas carols andChristmas thoughts and the Christ-mas spirit are having an unprece-dented popularity.. Literally, Christ- ,mas is "in the air". The old storyof the shepherds' quest And theirmanger goal is being repeated often-er and more fully this year than everbefore.

At the coming of the Child, theangel host sang of a Saviour born,and the sign they gave was of a"babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes,lying in a manger". Then and thuswas established the kingship of thecradle, the sovereignty of the Babe,representing possibility. Many ser-mon's have been preached upon howlow the Infinite stooped when He

condescended to the manger: yet is

not the truth rather that the near-

est thing tq Heaven is the new-born

child?Afar the song of the angels, above

Bethlehem's hills, amidst the radiance

of Shekinah glory of the ineffablepresence of the Most High, there

sWept into view the army of heaven—

the "sa oath", the host of the LOrd—

singin as a new battle-cry, the song

ofgly and peace: "Glory to God

in th highest, and on earth, peace

among en of good will". Only a dig-

ging into the original Greek reveals

the dramatic paradox, that it was

heaven's soldiers who sang thisstrange war-song of peace, the peace

that can come only as the hearts of

men are renewed in love by the re-newed in love by the Saviour who

came at Christmas.

Not from London, not from Gen-

eva, not from Washington, will peacecome to this war-scarred old earth;

but from Bethlehem, where begs&

the reign of the Babe who is now the

King of Love.

Thrift Compared.

Kansas City Star.—A spinster whoacted as clerk for a school boardirria-cipal in Connecticut for 30 years left'an estate of $340,000. A prohibitionagent in New York whose salary Is$2,500 a year has a town home, acountry home, two motor cars and aspeedboat. Oh, nothing, just illus-trating what some people do whowork hard and save their -money.

Vital Detail Miming.

Detroit News.—Mrs. Doren, wife ofthe Federal dry commissioner, saysa good cocktail may be made by chop-ping a pound of raigins fine, addinga quart of grape juice and mixingthoroughly. But it is not stated howmany weeks the mixture must stand.

At the present time the school li-brary ;activities of the State depart-ment of education are performed byan official whose chief duties are thoseof a purchasing agent for textbooksono school libraries. The library ex-tension division of the State librarysupplies schools with traveling libra-ries and gives advice to communitiesconcerning the establishment of coun-ty and other public libraries. Merg-ing the activities of the two agenciesIn the department of education wouldbring about a more effective correla-tion of the work and serve to empha-size the close relationship of the pith.-lie library to education.The General Assembly of Virginia

paired a county library law in 1924and one county library has been es-tablished. As a stimulus to more rapiddevelopment of county libraries theCommission recommended that begin-ning with the biennium 1928-30 thesum of $50,000 be apportioned for theeducational fund to be expended un-der the direction of the board of edu-cation for the purchase of libraries inthe rural districts if and when such li-braries are establishelband their main-tenance assured by the several coun-ties.

MANASSAS WINSOVER NOKESVILLE

--Manassas High Basketball TeamProves Superiority In Close

Battle.

By Beverly Mitchell.

The Manassas High basket ball

team opened its 1929-30 season last

Friday night with a narrow victory

over the well-balanced Nokesville five,

10-8. As the score indicates, the gam

I was close up to the end.

Coach Pullen, of the locals, started

his second team evidently with the

famous Notre Dame "shock troops" ,

in mind. This was a smooth working

combination, however, and was left

in the game for little over a quarter.

In this time Nokesville was held to

one field goal (2 points), by the Ma-

nassas youngsters. Mr. Pullen ex-

pressed himself as being encouraged

by the showing of his second string-

ers.Regulars Come In.

The regulars were then shifted to

the floor and at once ran up four

points vindicating the Manassas men-

tor's judgment: However, the Nokes-

ville boys rallied quickly and put on

an offense that placed them in the

Ifore. It was not until the last quar-

ter that the Orange tossers repelled

and overcame the alien threat.Swank, Monroe and Ambros'b were

the stars of the game. The Jest two

scored 4 and 5 points, respectively,

thus accounting for 9 of the 10 mark- ,

ers of the victors. Captain Dodson '

scored the remaining tally.

A crowd estimated at over a hun-

dred saw the curtain ring up for Ma-

MONEY RESERVESTAPPED FOR XMAS

Circulation of Money Growing as

Reserves Are Released ToExtent of $200,000,000.

Washington, Dec. 19.—Reserve a of

the United States government and

Federal Reserve System are being

tapped to the extent of between

$200,000,000 and $250,000,000 this

year to fill the purses of Christmas

shoppers, according to U. P. release

in member papers.

This large expansion of 'currency

in circulation for Christmas needs is

an annual feature of the nation's cred-

it structure. Unless the Federal Re-

serve System 'adopted measures to

forestall it, the rapid growth and

contraction of outstanding currency

would seriously disrupt credit condi-

tions.

Currency in circulation aggregates

about $5,000,000,000 during 'normal

times. It reaches a low point in July,

but begins to expand as harvesting of

the nation's crops exerts a demand for

funds.Money Demand Increases.

Then in early November the first

sign of Christmas is reflected in a

growing demand for additional funds

by department stores and other mer-

chants with which to replenish their

stocks for holiday trade. Banks, in

turn, borrow from the reserve fund,

system to meet these needs of their

customers. '

Part of the Yuletide increase in

currency is in gold coins, principally

quarter eagles of $2.50 each to be

used as ballast in the toe of . the

iChristmas stockings. Nearly $350,-

000,000 of new gold coins are specially

issued for this purpose each year.

Virtually every kind of currency,

national bank notes, gold certificates,

Urited States notes, gold and silver

coin is affected by the extra demand

for cash during the Christmas sea-

son. Gold certificates alone increase

by between $30,000,000 and $40,-

000,000. "

Drop After Christmas.

End of the Christmas season in

early January is marked by a sud-

den sharp drop in currency outstand-

ing as the millions of dollars spent

by Christmas shoppers are returned

EDITOR'S JOYS.

Getting out this paper is no picnic.

If we print jokes people say we are

silly;

If we don't they say we are too se-

rious.If we clip things from other maga-

zinesWe are too lazy to write them our-

selves;If we don't we are stuck on our own

stuff.If we stick close to the job all day,

We ought to be out hunting up news.

If we do gtt out and try to hustle,

We ought to be on the job in the

office.

If we don't print contributions,

We don't appreciate true genius;

And if we do print them, the maga-

zine is filled with junk.

If we make a change in the other fel-

low's write-up, we are too critical;If we don't we are asleep.

Now like as not some guy will say,

"Thesprosecution of health work in

but upon the support of all citizens

"It is a pleasure to acknowledge the

fine cooperation of the Virginia Tu-

berculosis Association and its county

and city branches in. the fight which

is being waged against tuberculosis

portunity to urge every man and

woman in the State to buy the Christ-

"To see the bright little tubercu-

losis seals on the Christmas packages

and letters gives inspiration to those

laboring in the field of public health,

and hope to the victims of tubercu-

losis. Put a Christmas Seal with the

double barred cross on every piece of

mail and decorate your gifts withthem."Last year the sale of Christmas

Seals amounted to over $67,500 in Vir-

ginia, and many patients were sent to

the state sanatoriam by these funds.

nurses was paid in many sections of

And That's Saying Something

Truly THE FLOWER of FLOURS

TRY a sack or barrel and you will be pleased with this ALL-PURPOSE

WHITE ROSE has always been good as hundreds of housewives will tes-tify, but we are not satisfied to have it GOOD, we want it to be the BEST.
