the city man.

see, when 1t is raining the trout stay
under water because they are afraid

"And why are they afraid to come

why, they are afraid Of getting

When Edward, son of Sir Dudley,
came to Virginia, 1850, he purchased
1,2O0 acres in York county. He was
man of large property, owning part
of Mulberry island, on the James river

berry trees, which he planted there, he
being the first to introduce and pro-

Elizabeth Braye, and they were blessed
with a bakers dozen-six sons and
seven daughters. Large families are
characteristics-shall we say-of the
Digges, the average number being a
full dozen or thereabouts.
The record of the family is a notable
one. from 1854 almost to the present
date, members Of the family having
been state officials Of Virginia: Gov.
ernor, auditor general, recorder gen.
eral, members Of the council and Of
the burgesses, senators, members OF

CONSERVED HIS OWN LTFE

Henry Wallace the new head Of the National
Conservation congress- is himself a living ex.
ample OF the possibilities in conservation of hu-
man life. Thirty years ago, while holding the
pastorate OF United Presbyterian church at
Morning Sun, Iowa, he was informed by his ply
sician that his days were numbered and that his
only hope Of proonglng life for even reasonably
short time was to get out of the pulpit. He did
not wait to preach a farewell sermon: he went
back to the farm and commenced anew the
simple life. Today, at seventy-four he is a Wig.
orous and healthy man, doing his full days labor
every day and with intellect as keenly alive to
every issue of the time.
Mr. Wallace's special interest in the work
came to head when he consented to associate

to inquire into the needs of the farms and sug.
