popular with large circle and be

Mr. Marston also announces his

declares he never saw a candidate
for office who was either i'll or in
bad health. and requests The Ga

featng Randolph-Macon. Hampden-
Sidney and the Newport News Z.
M. c. A., the William and Mary
basketball team met with over
whelming defeat at the hands Of the
Norfolk Blues quint Saturday night.
The score was 81 to II. but the VIII
Ian and Mary boys were too light
for the Norfolk huskies. The fol-
lowing is an account Of the New
port News game as printed by the
Daily Press:
With a whirlwind finish. William
and Mary Colleges fast basketball
team put the kibosh on the quintet
Of the local Young Mems Christian
Association last night on the gym
nssium floor. Score 80 to u.
Because Of the fact that they had
walloped the collegians at Williams
burg a month ago. the home talent
were more than reasonably sure OF
last nights game. However. they
did not count on any such sensation
al shooting as given by Hall in the
last five minutes and on such su-
Perb team work as the visitors show
ed in the wind up of the closing
period.
Up to the last five minutes of
play the game was very close and
intensely exciting. The visitors
showed that they were on the 100
fFom the start and they led at the
first half by two points. The locals
came back well and 1t was nip and
tuck for fifteen minutes. With the
score a tie, somebody called time
just as Hall was shooting a field
goal. L developed that there was
five more minutes to play and in
those five minutes the collegians
coPped the game.
Hall was easily the star OF the Wis
inng aggregation. shooting a total Of
eight goals, most OF which were OF
the sensation type. Geddy. who
looked like a dwarf beside the other
huskies in the game. ran Hall a close
second. He was so little and so fast
that it tooktwo men to keep up
with him.
Lenz played the best game for the
locals. but the Y. NJ. c. a. quints,
did not play up to form. There was
a woeful lack of team work and the
shooting was by no means sure.
A fairly large crowd Of enthusi-
asts witnessed the match. A half
dozen William and Mary students
was on hand and gave college yells
every few seconds.

worms, the wire worms, the web
worms, squirrels big and little, at
tack his corn before it is out of the

attacks and continue them through

the worst pests of the corn field, car

the farmer, and rejoices when she
hears the click of the corn planter,

EXPRESS PROBE
IS DECIDED ON
Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion So Decides,

Washington, July "A sweeping
investigation of all the express com
panies in the United States, affected
by the interstate commerce laws, was
ordered by the interstate commerce
commission on it's w motion.
Evidently, in anticipation of this ac-
ton by the commission, practically all
OF the express companies, with the
exception of the Long Island, filed
new tariffs which are believed to be
material reductions in rates. 1t was
said that it would require several
months to compare these rates with
those now in existence.
More than a veal ago the number
OF the leading commercial organiza.
tons of the country petitioned the
commission for a general investiga-
ton into the Rates and methods of the
express companies, and in it's order
the commission says that the inquiry
is ordered Ito determine whether
such rates, classifications, regulations
or practices are unjust, unreasonable,
discriminatory, preferential or prejudi
cial, or otherwise in violation of the
provisions of said act, and to deter.
mine the manner and method in which
the business of the express companies

G.. Luther Bickford, the former state

room, the general expectation was
that a disagreement would result.
Judge Crawford announced court

When Judge Crawford asked the
foreman for the jury's finding the
strain of the moment was plainly Wis

suredly must be taken.
Bickford was arrested Jan. IS

TO EXTEND RAILROAD LINES
Hill Companies Very Active in North
Dakota.

Interest in prospective railroad con-
struction west of the Missouri has
been awakened again through the trip
that was taken into that territory by
President Howard Elliott of the North
ern Pacific railroad, and which, it is
understood, was made for the purpose
of looking over the field. The extern
sion of the Northern Pacific lines into
Mercer, Dr<n and Mckenzie counties
is looked upon as practically certain,
with work due to be begun again al
most Immediately on the north extern
sion from Mandan. President Elliott
spent most of his time in Dunn county,
now without railroad facilities.
Orders have been issued for the re-
sumption of operations on the Great
Northern extension from Stanley,
Mountrail county, and Of which Wild
rose is now the prospective terminus.
