 Practice Light at Vale.
 Yale football practice was light Thursday, consisting of signal drill, breaking through and kicking, in half hour periods each. The third eleven. using Princeton plays lined up the varsity for breaking through work. Knowles practiced in bunting, getting off high spirals, that averaged more than forty yards. Pumpelly, Guern- sey and PendIeton practiced drop and place kicking with fair success.
 Trainer Johnny Mack reported the men to be in good physical shape, in cluding Ainsworth. halfback, who was cut over the eye in the Brown game. Pumpelly is not in shape to start the game, but it is considered likely that he may be injected into the game be- cause of his drop kicking abilities if the occasion demands.
 A signal drill today which will be open to undergraduates, will consti- tute the final practice for the Prince ton game The squad will probably be taken to the New Haven Country club tonight in order to be away from the excitement in the city and about the campus. Already, the advance guard of the crowd has started to sift into New Haven and hotel accommodations are taxed to their capacity.
 The football stands on Derby ave- nue are being patrolled night and day to prevent the possibility of fire, and the groundkeepers are keeping an eye out for the weather in case of rain. More than 100 extra policemen will be detailed for duty about New Ha- ven on the day of the game.

Harvard Preparing for Vale.

Preparation of the Harvard football team is pointed almost exclusively to the gam ewith Yale. November g. The Crimson coaches, anticipating no great opposition from Brown next Saturday, again Thursday devoted all their time to outlining methods of defense against Yale attacks and perfecting offensive tactics designed to break through the blue defensive barrier. Against Brown, Harvard will send a team con- siderably short of it's best strength. Head Coach Percy D. Haughton is to go to New Haven Saturday to ola serve Yale in action against Prince ton and he will take with him Captain Storer and one or two other mem bers of the eleven.

Spending Honeymoon Here

Mr.. and Mrs. II. II. Folden,
a well known young couple of
Bluefield, arrived in the city
Wednesday and are stopping at
the home Of Col. Thomas J.
Muncey. Mr.. Folden and wife,
who was Miss Helen Combs, of
Liberal, Kansas, were married
Wednesday morning at the
home of Rev. Frank Y. Jackson,
pastor of Bland Street Methodist
church at Bluefeld.
Mr.. Folden, who is a designer
and decorator, being rushed
with work could not take but a
few days from his business, so
they decided to take that in
Tazewell, the prettiest town in
the Virginias. The happy couple
will later tour the West, on said
occasion they will visit Mrs.
Folden's relatives.

The TerrOrs of The West

Pioneers and ranchers still
have their troubles in the North
west and on the plains. Former
ly the Indians were the terror
and barriers as well as the
binding blizzards. The Indian
terrors have disappeared, but
the blizzard still takes its toll of
human life. A friend sent to
this Office copies of a Rapid
City, South Dakota paper con-
tanning an account of the freez-
ing 10 death of a father, mother
and three children, in a blizzard
which swept sections of South
Dakota on March 16. A family
named Perry was treking to a
ranch which they had leased.
There were several wagons and
in all ten or eleven children.
The father, mother and smaller
children were travelling in one
wagon, when they lost their way
in the binding, freezing biz
zard. Their dead bodies, the
Children clinging to their mother,
wrapped in horse blankets
were found next day by search
ers, only short distance from
a ranchman's house. 1t is diff
cult for residents of this eastern
section to understand how a
snow storm could be so severe
and binding as this. Such oc-
currences as the above are rare
now and as ranch houses are scat
tered along more or less thickly,
should be impossible if proper
care and prudence is exercised.
So it seems at this distance.

LAWYERS EXEMPT
FROM Income TAX
Favored Class of Citizens Will Not
Have to Pay, According to the
Circuit Court of TazeweIl.

The Circuit Court of Tazewell
Monday handed down an impor-
tant decision in the case of
William H. Werth against the
Commonwealth, involving the
construction of the income tax
statute of Virginia. The law in
this State imposes tax of l per
cent on incomes in excess of
81, 600. The statute defines what
a taxable Income shall include,
and sets out in the first four
paragraphs certain specified
sources of income which shall be
taxed, all of which are a prop
erty source except one, and that
is salaries. Paragraph 5 contains
a sort of dragnet in the follow
ing words: "All other gains and
profits derived from any source
whatever" 1t was admitted by
the Commonwealth that Mr..
Werth's income was derived
solely from his general practice
as lawyer, and that he paid a
license tax as such, and that his
income was not embraced by the
income statute unless by the
"dragnet" clause. Mr.. Werth
contended that the "dragnet"
clause was limited by the four
preceding paragraphs, and
that, since his income was not
derived from any sort of prop
erty or salaries, it was not
embraced by the statute, and,
in addition, to'make him pay an
income and a license tax would
be double taxation. The court
fully sustained Mr.. Werth's con-
tention and relieved him from
payment. This decision, if up
held by the Supreme Court,
where it will be taken, will ap-
ply to all lawyers, doctors and
others paying license taxes
whose income exceeds the sum
of $4,000.

Hard OH Dogs

1t is a cold week in July and a
warm one in January when
something is not killed by a
train down about Pounding Mill.
Our versatile correspondent re-
ports frequent grinding of cows
into sausage meat in that
bumptious little burg. 1t is
modestly suggested to "Billy"
Steele, that wire is cheap, and a
few fences built around the cow
lots and pastures would pay.
The last report states that the
railroad trains have attacked the
dogs of that section-a recent
victim chad royal blood in her
veins". Now, as to the dogs,
the more of them slain by rail
road trains or otherwise, royal
or menial, the better for the
sheep industry and the welfare
of the country generally.
The Pasteur Institutes of the
country are working overtime
to save the lives of children and
others, bitten by rabid dogs.
They (the dogs) ought to be
either muzzled or shot in most
instances. The streets of every
little town in this country are
infested with dogs-all sorts of
dogs-from the Berkshire
nose, bench-legged flee, on up to
the tusKy bull dog, all nosing
around, seeking what they may
devour. This writer does not
hate dogs, but doesn't know of
one anywhere that pays half his
board. These flea toting, sheep
killing, egg-sucking, long-legged,
slabsided, NANCY, moon-baying,
sleep-disturbing, snappin g,
snarling, sorry CANNES ought to
be suppressed. Let the railroads
continue their good work down
about Pounding Mill and every
where else.

Kind Words From an Old Veteran

Messrs. j. A. Leslie and Son.
| observe that the 1st of May
will end your 10th year of ser
vice to the people as editors and
managers of the Clinch Valley
News, paper founded in 1845
by DR.. Henry Fielding Peery,
later conducted by the Gate
woods. father and son, and still
later for some years by myself.
Your management has been sue
cessful and your paper has be-
come distinctly an institution.
My object in this letter is to
suggest it's value to the people
whom it serves and incidentally
to appeal to them to hold up
your hands.
1t will not be amiss for your
clinetele to remember that the
paper has always under every
management, striven for good
morals, good roads and good
citizenship. 1t is a medium of
communication, a recorder of
the passing show.
With your established cir
culation, and status, as one of
the leading weeklies-it has a
power for good, which is salutary
and encouraging. With a steady
adherence to the policy-"The
Best Men, and the Best Meas
ures", there is only one thing
lacking to make your success
complete and lasting, and that
is the cordial cooperation of the
people who read it. The chief
trouble with all country papers
is the fact "a mournful fact)
that so many people whose
names are on your list fail to
pay their accounts. ! write this
largely for their benefit.
Very truly yours,
HARRY M. SMYTHE.
