Jerry Moore. Hero.

Battle Creek, Michigan, Enquirer.
The dictionaries would draw a fine
line of distinction between hero and
benefactor. While admitting that
either might be the other, or both,
they would insist that a hero must
have run risk Of getting hurt.
So the dictionaries don't always
speak the public tongue-for in ev-
eryday talk a thing is heroic if it is
big ard useful enough, whether it
was dangerous or not
The dictionaries would say that Jer-
ry Moore, of South Carolina, aged df-
teen, is benefactor, ifthey fully un-
derstand his work and are as fair as
they ought to be in giving credit.
Jerry Moore is the boy who pushed
the top limit from 80 bushels, or
whereabouts, up to 228 bushels On the
yield of an acre of corn. Jerry just
now is the boy who has grown more
corn to the acre than anybody else in
the United States-but five years from
now he may be the boy whose exam
pie showed everybody else how to
grow 22S-bushel corn.
And growing 228-bushel corn is he
roic. It is capturing forts and seiZing
nations and changing the map of the
world. 1t is wiping out pestilence and
putting out fire and famine and pre-
venting murder, 1t is saving the old
homestead from the mortgage fore
obscure. It is all forms of heroism,
sung and unsung, dramatiZed and un-
dramatized. boiled into one concrete
accomplishment-22S bushels of corn
to the acre, while 60-bushel world
is wondering where its future meals
are coming from.
Jerry Moore makes about $780, in
prizes from his acre, and the world
makes so many billions, if it profits by
Jerry's example and method, that
there aren't figures enough to count
them. The world satisfies its neecssi-
ties and acquires luxuries to the limit
of it's taste and appetite, in Jerry
Moore's 228-bushel acre of corn, If it
adopts that acre as it's standard.
So why shouldn't Jerry Moore be a
hero, though he fought with nothing
but a hoe and fought nothing but
weeds and lazinesS?

Warning the Colonel.

A raw recruit from a remote corner
of the Green Isle was engaged for the
first time in a field maneuVer in Eng
land on outpost duty. The sergeant
instructed him to look out carefully
for the colonel coming to inspect the
post.
After an hour he returned and ask
ed the soldier, "Has the colonel been
here?'
Receiving an answer in the negative,
he went away, returning later on with
the same inquiry.
Awhile later the colonel appeared.
The recruit did not salute properly,
which incensed the colonel, who as a
hint asked him:

POLICE find Man
WHO DISAPPEARED
"Doc" Dove Engagedin Pack
ing Apples for Local Man

Israel Dove, whose strange de-
parture from his home at Wittig's
store in Rockingham county a week
rtwo ago caused members of his
family and friends to fear for his
safety, was found here yesterday by
Police Officer Crickenberger. He is
packing apples for Bell, the commits
sion man, with whom he secured en-
ployment soon after his arrival here.
Dove left home without making
any explanation for his departure.
subsequently reappeared in Harrison
burg, and later left there for Staun-
ton. On last Thursday George Show
alter, of Bridgewater. came here to
ask the local police to assist in the
search for the wanderer, and in the
meantime the officers had been on
the lookout for him.
There was nothing about Doves
action or conversation yesterday to
indicate that his mind is affected, as
his people at home seemed to think
was the case. He answered the few
questions the officer put to him read
lily enough, admitting that he was
himself, but volunteering no informa-
ton as to why he left Rockingham.
The Harrisonburg police were no
titled of Doves presence here, SO that
they could inform his family and
relieve their anxiety.

TABERNACLE FEAST
WIDELY OBSERVED

New York, Oct. I'm all the
Jewish temples and synagogues of
the metropolis special services were
held today in celebration of the
feast of tabernacles. This festal
day is called in Hebrew "Succoth"
and falls upon the 18th of Tishri in
the Hebrew calendar, and lasts eight
days. The eighth day is called "the
day of solemn assembly,"
The festival commentaries the
harvest season of the ancient Israel
ties and is a period of Thanksgiving
for the blessings received. The Is
raelite who, in obedience to the d.
vine command, left his house for the
week of the festival, and took up his
abode in booth or tabernacle, and
lived through as it were, an impor-
tant epoch of his peoples history,
has thereby replenished the springs
of Jewish sentiment. He was also
thereby taught to remember that
just as Israel in the wilderness was
protected by God, SO is he being
guarded in his earthly pilgrimage.

Prisoners are Charged With Ruff
fianism, Which is Said'to Have
Occurred on County Road

Jailer George 4. Hutchinson had q
nice time Monday afternoon wisl,
in company with young man NAM
ed Tanksley, from down near Chris
tian's Creek, he set out with war
rants for the arrest of Charlie Coffey
and Charlie Benson, alleged partic1-
pators in a drunken hold up Satur-
day night in which Jerry Russell was
more or less beaten up. Mr.. Hutche-
son and his companion were about
eight miles out on the Greenville
road when they met Coffey who re-
cognized and spoke to Tanksley.
simultaneously he recognized Jailer
Hutchinson and turned and ran back
to a house near the road at the door
of which Charlie Benson appeared
with a quart bottle of whiskey show
ing in his pocket. Coffey was inclined
to be peaceful but Benson put up
stubborn resistance.
Cursing Mr.. Hutcheson and threat
ening him with stick he held in his
hand, Benson said he would die be-
fore he went to Jail. A Mr.. Davis,
living across the road, seeing the
trouble the officer was having 'phon-
ed to the police in Staunton and
detachment was quickly sent to his
aid in an automobile. Mr.. Hutchinson
has gotten his man into his own We
hicle, however, and was starting to-
ward Staunton when the police as
sistance arrived. Turning Benson
over to the automobiles, Mr.. Hutche-
son had continued his way a couple
of miles, when, just north of the
Cochran place, buggy coming in the
opposite direction collided with his
runabout, throwing a lady and little
boy out and wrecking the vehicle
they were in. The occupant proved to
be Mrs. Rosen, sister of Park Off

Young Woman, Well Known
Here, and Minister Drowned
in Potomac South Branch
BODIES NOT YET RECOVERED
Miss Shannon and Pastor Were
on Their Way to Church When
Caught in Treacherous Ford


News reached here early Monday
morning of the accidental death by
drowning of Miss Sallie Shannon,
which occurred near Franklin, w.
Va, on Sunday. The young woman
was we'll known in Staunton where
she had often visited the family OF
Mrs. Sarah J. Shanholtzer, of ZIG
Greenville avenue, to whom she was
related. Upon receipt of the message
telling of the tragedy Mrs. Shanholt-
yer and her daughters left for West
Virginia.
1t was not until dispatches were re-
ceived by this paper last night that
it was known that a young minister,
who was with Miss Shannon, also lost
his life. These dispatches brought the
following information:
There seems now to be no doubt
that Rev. E. B. Bruen, aged thirty
five years, pastor of the Presbyterian
churches at Springfield and Three
Churches, w. Va, and Miss Sallie
Sannon, aged eighteen, were drown
ed in the South branch of the Poto-
mac river yesterday.
Rev. Mr.. Bruen was a boarder at
the home of Miss Shannon's parents.
With the young lady he started to
drive to Three Churches, where he
was to have preached yesterday after
noon. They never reached there. This
morning the buggy cushion was
found on an island just below the
treacherous ford, and a mile farther
down was found the drowned horse,
attached to the broken buggy. The
whole country is out searching.
The South branch of the Potomac
is swollen, and it is supposed they
were swept down in attempting to
cross the ford near the wire bridge.
Rev. Mr.. Bruen came from Rich
mond, Va. Miss Shannon is a niece
of former State Senator John B.
Shannon of Frostburg, Md.

WAIT IN VAIN FOR
PROMISED PREMIUMS
County People Claim t, Have
Been Swindled by Willy Agent

Anticipated pleasure from pages
of dress styles, short stories, receipts,
beauty hints, Mrs. Gussie's Gush to
Girls" and what not, has worn itself
out in the minds of certain busy
housewives and their daughters in
the Waynesboro and Stuart's Draft
neighborhoods according to resi-
dent of one of these who called at
the Dispatch-News Office yesterday
afternoon. A stranger giving his
name as Gardner, it is said, can
vassed the localities pretty thorough
ly in the interests of a we'll known
Curtis publishing Company periodi-
cal of especial interest to ladies. As
a premium for subscriptions, the
willy solicitor, it is alleged, offered
a handsome rug, worth possibly $3.50
or 81, with his magazine. Gardner
is said to have made this trip the
latter part of July and those accept
ing his generous offer have as yet
seen nothing of the floor ornament
or the fashion plates. But that is
not all. According to the newspaper
mans informant, the suspense be-
coming intolerable, one of the la
dies, undoubtedly many more, wrote
to the Curtis people and received
the narrowing intelligence that no
such man was in their employ.
1t was the hope of avoiding SINH
lar disappointment in other parts of
this and adjoining counties that
prompted one of the would-be sub
scribers to bring news of the game to
the Dispatch-News Office. A number
of different localities in Augusta
county were called yesterday over
telephone, but but in none of those
reached did they have any news of
the alleged flim-flammer.
