A prominent writer on horse topics
has just published some notes In a
leading daily paper on the need OF
stallion registration law in Virginia
and right here 1t may be said that
every State in the Union needs such
a Law Many have them; many have

ever breed is to be represented.
The most casual reader OF the his
tory OF the Old Dominion will see that
from the earliest days the Virginia
planter. or farmer. was a lover of a
good horse. Before the Revolutionary
War thoroughbred stations had been
imported to the colony of Virginia.
These stations were possessed OF quail
tiles that made them ideal sires- In

State have found out over a century ago
that in order to get good individuals

Some idea regarding the economic
Importance Of corn may be had by
realization that in the United States
1t exceeds in acreage. yield and value

wheat and potatoes combined.
An increased value Of ! cent per
bushel would mean an additional In
come to the farmers Of the Cnfted
States Of SIS, 900. 600. while an increased
production Of but one bushel per acre.
at so cents per bushel. would add
$50,000.000 annually to the national
wealth.
In addition to its magnitude. the
crop is important because Of the wide
range OF industries In which some por-
ton of the corn plant plays q more or
less important part. In fact. 1t may
almost be said that there Is no industry
into which some product or oy-produce
Of the corn plant does not enter.
Therefore any conditions which effect
the production OF this king OF crops
are of interest to every citizen Of vir-
ginia. be he farmer, merchant. banker
or what mot.
Each spring many farmers discover
when it is too late-that their seed corn

Boston Lawyer
Takes Own Life

Ashland, Nov. 10.-The body of Al
fred S. Hayes, a Boston lawyer, with
offices in the fremont building, was
found in remote spot on his sum
mer estate, Hillside Farm. between >
and o'clock. Saturday afternoon. He
was suicide, according to DR.. Louis
Palmer of birmingham, the medical
examiner.
The body was discovered near 4
brook which runs through a pasture
at the westerly end of the farm, which
is close to the Ashland Hopkinton line.
Close by was found a 32-caliber re-
volver with one chamber empty. The
bullet has penetrated the right temple
and death is thought to have been
instantaneous.
The only reasons assigned for the
suicide is business troubles, some of
the townspeople asserting that Mr..
Hayes had brooded OF late over finan-
cial difficulties. Medical Examiner
Palmer was unable to assign any mo-
tive, tonight.
DR. Palmer expressed the opinion
that Mr.. Hayes shot himself, late Fri
day afternoon. Mr.. Hayes is survived

As EngIand's Ambassador
To the United States.
Hopes to Devote Rest Of His
Life TO Literary Work.
He Will Be Succeeded by Sir Cecil
Arthur Spring-Rice.

Washington. Nov. 10.-James Bryce.
the British ambassador to the United
States, has rendered his resignation
and Will return to England. There has
been no official announcement of the
resignation and the embassy will make
no statement. but it was learned, to-
night. on high authority that Mr..
Bryce informed President Taft of his
action at the White House. yesterday.
1t is understood that the ambassador
submitted to the President the name
of the British governments choice for
his successor and at the same time
stated his own intention of returning
home as soon as possible. President
Taft, it is said, requested that the
announcement be withheld until he
could have an opportunity to discuss
it with Secretary of State Knox Mr..
Knox returned to the city, tonight. and
1t is expected an official announce
ment, tomorrow will follow his con-
ference with the President.
While the news that Ambassador
Bryce is to retire will be received with
deep regret in official circles and by
the country generally it is not wholly
unexpected. There has been no break
in the harmonious relations of the
distinguished Englishman ana his gov
eminent, but it has been an open Sc
eret for some time that Mr. Bryce,
advancing in years, desired to sur
render his post and give entire atten-
ton to the completion of the literary
work which has occupied SO large
part of his life. His book on South
America. written since his tour of that
country, two years ago. is just off the
press. and he is about to begin d work
covering his recent tour of Australia
and New Zealand.
Facing the British ambassador to
the United states just now are several
great and troublesome problems, and
Il is known that Mr.. Bryce's friends
feared that if he continued in office
at this time he would break down his
health and probably have to abandon
his literary efforts. Among other
things. the Panama canal toll question
promises to furnish a disagreeable and
unsatisfactory diplomatic task with
little prospect of being brought to q
successful conclusion.
Sir Cecil Arthur Spring Rice. who
will receive the appointment to Wash
