FORK UNION Opens
FOR FALL SESSION
MANY NEW STUDENTS WILL At.
TEND SCHOOL FORMERLY
RUN BY DR.. HATCHER.

Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
FORK UNION. VA. Sept. 20-The
session just opening Fork Union acad-
envy bids fair to be one Of the most
memorable in the history OF the insti-
tuition. More than one hundred cadets
are on the ground and every train Is
adding It's quota to the number. Many
old students are back to testify to their
love for the school and their confidence
in the management, and scores of new
students that are arriving every day
makes II clear that the breath OF
life has been breathed into the Fork
Union academy, and that she will live
and have her being and be a mother
for many of the brightest sons Of this
old state for many years to come.
Though DIR. Hatcher has been taken
AWAY, the spirit Of the leader is here.
and even the new boys are feeling the
power of its presence.
The opening exercises took place
yesterday afternoon. The speaker OF
the evening was DR.. HI. w. Battle, OF
Charlottesville. One of the features of
the program was the presentation OF
diplomas to those who were enabled by
their work In the summer school OF
1912 to- complete their regular aca-
demic course. Diplomas were award
ed to Miss Ethel Hughes. Of Bucking-
ham county: Bernard Allen, OF King
and Queen county; H. w. Connolly,
of Campbell county, and T. III. Rat
clifYe, of Buchanan county. Captain
e. N. Macon, of the United States
army, commandant of the school, adj
dressed the cadets. The new members
OF the faculty were presented to the
student body and to the board of trus-
tees. The occasion was one OF deep
Interest, and full of great feeling and
WAS brought to close by the sing
ing Of the hymn: "Am Soldier OF
the Cross" with the refrain. We'll
Work Till Jesus Comes" This was
the favorite hymn Of DR.. w. E. Hatch
er. the lamented president of the in
ktitution, and 1t Is thought that this
hymn will be adopted as the academy
HYMN to be sung in honor Of Its foun-
Pder whose desire was to giorify work
Nm the hearts and minds of the stu
dents and whose highest ambition was
40 make OF them soldiers OF the cross.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20-The strength
in corn overbalanced all else In the
grain markets today. The Armour
Grain company, as well as the Bart
lett-Ffazier company. with the latter
concern supposed to be acting for
James A. Patten, were again liberal
buyers. Lower temperatures in the
entire corn belt and the promise of
freezing weather in eastern Nebraska
tonight caused corn shorts to bid
values up sharply.
The advances In cash corn in the
various markets OF the West. and the
fact that would-be buyers were but
poorly supplied showed that those
who are holders of corn at the mo-
ment are in position to dictate
values. unles there Is complete
change in weather conditions.
With a sharp upturn in corn values.
and with the spring wheat markets
higher, because OF additional rain,
there were early advances In wheat
prices here. Cash wheat was as fiat
as the proverbial founder, as only 49,
600 bushels changed hands at Chicago
today, and this being the largest
market in this country. shows that
prices are too high for foreigners,
and that miilers are willing 10 take
chance on securing supplies at lower
prices later on.
Oats showed additional strength
and were helped some by corn. Of
ferings at no time were under press
use while shorts were good buyers.

commission houses began taking pro-

market quiet during most OF the
morning, but in the afternoon re-

accounts of leading operators, and
particularly for the Reid-Moore ana
Baruck interests. The Morgan inter-

the advance, and the Standard Oil
people are not objecting.
Gold imports were increased from

CHILDREN Journey Alone.

Two women and two children, un-
accompanied by any man. have just
finished an automobile trip Of approx
imately 5000 miles from Rockford,
ILL.,, to the famous Estes Park in Col
orado and return-eauivaient to the
distance across the American CONT
nent-in q Hudson car. the trip being
probably the most remarkable In mo-
toring annals.
Coleman Cutchins, the Hudson dea-
Ter. learned Of the extraordinary jour-
ney today.
Mrs. Bertha A. Cooper, SOL Indian
Terrace. Rockford ILL.,, drove the car
the entire distance. This trip was
replete with hardships. The chill
dren of the party are aged twelve and
fifteen years.
The remarkable part of the jour
ney Is the speed which Mrs. Cooper
made from Rockford. Ill. to Fort
Collins, Colo. which trip occupied
but Ave days. and probably consti-
tutes motoring record between the
two cities.
Mrs. Cooper whirled across the
western plains in going to Fort Col
Inns at an average rate OF over 200
miles a day, which Is considered a
good hard run for a man.
The return was made via Colorado
Springs. Pueblo and La Juanta and
was accomplished In slower time, ow-
ing TO stops to visit friends residing
In those cities. Had the car given
trouble they would have been in severe
straits FOR In some cases they were
scores OF miles from habitation. But
the trip was entirely free from any
trouble whatever.
Mrs. Cooper relates that she met
fearfully bad roads and that the rains
rendered many Of them impossible to
the average automobile.
