Judge Woods On Divorce.


The Martinsburg Journal quotes Judge
J. NJ. Woods, of this district, as follows
n the subject OF divorce:
Judge Woods stated that he was in fav-
or of granting divorces in cases where the
husband or wife is guilty OF such offenseS
as adultery, habitual drunkenness, cruel
and inhuman treatment, and desertion and
abandonment. He stated that lie did
not believe that wife or husband should
be compelled TO live with man or woman
guilty OF such offenSeS, and was OF the
opinion that the law should step in and
relieve the injured wife or husband, rath-
er than that he or she should be compell-
ed to endure the suffering usually Incl
dent to such conditions. But Judge
Woods emphatcally declares that he be-
lieveS a law should be enacted making il
misdemeanor when either husband or
wife is guilty of committing such offenses
as divorces are usually granted for, and
that when the husband or wife is granted
a divorce for such causes, the prosecuting
attorney should at once proceed 10 Sc
cure the Indictment OF the guilty party on
the charge of miSdemeanor, the penalty
to be d term in jail of sufficient duration
to act as a preventative OF such offenses.
Judge Woods pointed out that at pres
emf the man and woman guilty OF some
of the offenseS for which divorces are
granted goes scott free, owing TO the
inadequacy OF the law, while persons are
severely punished by the law for COM
hitting offenSeS OF less serious nature
than the breaking up of home, and the
throwing upon their own resources oil
helpless women and children. He be-
lieves that if such offenders are punished
for the crimes that bring about divorces
there would be fewer cases Of this kind
in the courts of West Virginia, and that
both men and women would hesitate
long before making themselves amenable
TO the law.

More Automobiles.

DR. Nathaniel Burwell has bought a
Maxwell automobile TO use in his prac-
tice He is the third Shepherdstown
physician to adopt the automobile and to
relegate the horse TO the rear. What a
change the telephone and the automobile
have brought about in the work OF the
physician A few years ago when there
was sickness in the country messenger
had TO be despatched on horseback or in
vehicle and ride or drive TO town and
notify the doctor, who would harness up
his Team and drive out as quickly as cir
cumstances would permit. If. the dis
lance was great and the road bad-and
the road usually was bad-it would be a
couple OF hours until the physician could
reach the patient. Nowadays when there
is need for physician he is called in a
moment by means of the telephone, he
gets into his automobile, flies along our
smooth roads, and in a few minutes is
ready to give relief. The thrilling spec
tacle OF mounted messenger dashing
through town at breakneck speed TO sum-
mon a physician to meet some unexpect-
ed emergency has passed away, probably
forever.

To Oil Our Streets.

E. Rush Turner cashier OF The Farm
ers Bank of Shepherdstown, has been
taking the part OF public benefactor the
past week by raising by public subscrip-
ton fund sufficient to oil the Main street
OF this place. With but few exceptions
the owners or tenants of business houses
and residences along this street contrib
uted literally to the fund, and enough
money was raised in short time to buy
the necessary oil. The town council will
be asked to pay tor applying the oil to
the streets, as was done last year, and
we have no doubt that our city fathers
will cheerfully do their part. The good
results were so apparent last year, the
dust being laid for the entire summer,
that everybody is eager to have the same
freedom from the nuisance OF dust this
year-only we want il sooner in the sea-
son. Let's have the work done at once.

Masonic Order TO Build.

Mt. Nebo Lodge OF Masons, of Shep-

Johnson the lot on Main street that he
recently purchased from the Loyns estate,
paying for it something over $500.

OF a new building at once. They will
put up nicely designed brick structure
two stories high. the lower floor of which
will be rented as store room, while the
upper floor will be fitted up as lodge
room. The location is very desirable
one in every respect, and the people will
be glad 10 see another one OF the waste
places built up. The lot is one OF those
the building on which was destroyed by
the big fire last November. Mt. Nebo
Lodge has had IFS quarters in the third

Washington. DC. May

Washington, D. c., May 2. 1913
Dear Register-The Ohio boys corn
club, IS in number, were in Washington
last week, and seeing them in the White
House grounds, closed my desk IN The
Treasury Department and joined them to
learn their experience in corn growing.
The grange president among them told
me that after many trial crops four or i've
grains in the hills, 3 l-2 by 31-2 feet
apart, produced the largest crops. But
their soil being stronger than ours, three
grams in hill, and if planted after May
10th would need no thinning-that back
breaking job that made so many of US
swear off farming as business.
Frank Brockman, of Amherst county,
Va, raised 80 1-2 barrels of white corn in
one acre. Heplowed deep and SUBJ soiledit
too planted one stalk 9 inches apart in
drill row, rows l-2 feetapart. Fertiliz-
ed il 800 pounds and half-ton OF lime and
raised l67 bushels.
Lime loosens up the soil so you can
sink shovel pillow to the beam. Our
fathers mourned over their bare fields.
Their sons inherited, lined the fields and
have clover up to your knees. Let three
or four farmers combine and get lime
spreader. II lessons the labor OF spread
ing, the great bugbear.
VIM. Dorm, of Halifax county, Va,
got a 1000 cup premium at the New
York corn show for 80 best ears, in COM
petition all over the United States.
The Norfolk & Western Railroad land
office is advertising that IA barrels an acre
was the average of 90 acres on the How
ell Brown farm near Charles Town, our
own county, last year.
Why don't some Of our farmers raise
potatoes and cabbage and make 500 an
acre instead of SIS on corn? An acre
will raise 200 to 300 bushels at 80 cents
! sent s bushels up to my tenant and h.
yards IN an an acre at one cent cabbaIe
is near $50 an acre. Washington Cit'
eats 10 carloads of potatoes week anc
Baltimore 20, and all these come from
Maine or Michigan. Surely they woulC
pay better. When Congress builds dam,
across the Potomac and steamboats, ply
up and down, freights will be cheap.
While bird hunting with party of 40
at Great Falls, 10 miles above Washing
ton, found the old lock which used to
lower the gondolaS on which our grand
fathers shipped TO Washington their
grain 1920 TO 1916. Flour freight was
dollar barrel.
Farmers near Washington make liv-
ing on six or seven acres trucking. There
are 20 acres in the United States to each
MIN and woman, and Uncle Sam wants
each man and woman to get their 40
acres, live on it and be happy-for this is
the ideal life.

| Baseball.

l DdSCDdns
The best game of baseball seen on the
home grounds this year was played here
last Saturday betweenthe Berryville High
School team and Shepherd College. Phil
lips, who started pitching for Shepherd
College, was hit hard in the first three in
nings and Garfield then went in to re-
lieve him. In the ninth inning the score
was 5 to in favor OF Benyville, when
Snyder came to the bat and drove the
ball to left field for a two-bagger. He
then stole third base and minute later
stole home with the tying score. In the
tenth inning the visitors got man on first
who went 10 second on Csnfield's balk.
An argument followed. and when play
was resumed the man on second stepped
off the bag and Miller. who plays second
base for Shepherd College, touched him
with the ball and the base umpire called
him out A howl went I'D from the enc
my's camp and without further words
they left the field, without trying TO have
the decision reversed. Their point was
that the other umpire had given the pitch
er a ball and that there could be no ruling
to call the man out at second when there
were two balls in play. We believe that
they were right, but they should not have
left the field, for they would have gotten
square deal and it was pity not to fin
ish such good game. Snyder was the
star OF the game, getting four hits and four
stolen bases.
A game of baseball will be played here
Saturday afternoon at 2 30 between Shep-
herd College and ST. James. A good
game is expected. Admission Is cents
