PEACE FOR WESTERN
ROAD is ASSURED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Peace in
the railway world west of the Missis-
sippi river for the next eighteen
months at least, was assured early
today when representatives of ninety
eight railroads and $4,000 engineers
and firemen signed an agreement to
submit their differences to arbitr-
ton. It was the eliminating act in eff
forts of the Federal board of media
ton to avert what president Wilson
characterized as a national disast-
er," and followed the presidents ap-
peal to the railroads to place patriot
ism above property interests.
Agree to Mediators Plan.
They agreed to arbitration under
a plan already approved by the med
iators and the employees, although
they realized, and president Wilson
pointed out, that all the merits OF
their case could not be considered
When the board Of arbitration is or
ganized its hearings will take place
in Chicago.
The railroads and the employees i'm.
mediately will name two arbitrators
each and they will select two others
If they fail to agree on that point
the board of mediation will act. The
hearings must be begun within thirty
days after organization of the boards
and its award must be made within
the next ninety days. It will become
effective ten days later and continue
for one year.
Submit Original Demands.
The questions to be submitted to the
board are the original demands Of
the employees contained in their de-
mand to the railroads last October
Counter claims of the railroads arr
withdrawn. The wage schedule an<
working rules in effect last October
are restored and they cannot be ad
versely affected, so far as the EN-
ployes are concerned by any aware
of the arbitrators.

FLYERS
IN DEATH PACT
Fifteen Pledge Selves to Give
Lives for Revenge Against

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The fate of
Roland Garros, who is reported to
have made deliberate sacrifice Of
his life Sunday to destroy German
army dirigible and send it's crew to
death, confirms the most terrifying
suspicious Germany ever has dared
to entertain concerning the organiza-
ton and purpose of the aerial corps of
the French army.
This is the assertion Of captain n.
3: Wild, veteran aviator, who lives in
Chicago. He knew Garros well.
Bound by Old Oath.
"By Garros' feat the kaiser now
knows just what the fourth arm of
Frances military organization u.s."
said captain Wild. ut comprises a
band Of men bound by the strangest
oath ever administered a soldier.
There are fifteen of these men, each
pledged to give his life just as Garros
did to avenge the ancient enemy of
the tricolor, Germany.
Il got my first tip as to the real
purpose Of the FRENCH flying corps at
night Charles K. Hamilton, Israel
Ludlow, John Moisant, Garros and
another or two Of the boys were sit
ting in the hotel chatting about
aviation.
Garros is Asked Question.
Ludlow, poor fellow, just had re-
| covered from a fall which paralyzed
him from the hips down. He was on
crutches. He had been telling US
that if he had obeyed his wife and
| kept out of the flying game he would
have been a well man. Some one
asked Garros if he was love sick.
"Whether / am or not, shall never
marry" said he. I have 9 service
to perform for France, and when die
l shall leave no wife. My feats arr
all for the glory of France. All my
experiments have an ultimate end
Some day I intend to wreck every
zeppelin Gremany ever had
Il was told how some Of the bes
known aviators France has, known thu
world over for their daredevil work
have made solemn promise to Civ
their lives should the occasion arise
in wrecking dirigibles Of the enemy.
Terrible War Engine.
"The Zeppelin dirigible is the mos
destructive engine of warfare tn
world has ever known. Some of then
can carry twenty-seven tons of nitro
glycerin. There is just one way +
pet them. That is for an aeroplane t.
get up in the air where gun rang
from the dirigible is obscured by the
gas bag, and drive the spiral RICH
into the balloon. It means sure deaf
to the aviator, but the patriotism o
these Frenchmen knows no extent
Thus France with her aeroplanes vii
vanquish Germany with her dirig
fibles, or I miss my guess"

THE COUNTY FAIR.

-HE annual county fair at Aib-
bing is less than month dis
l. tant. It is the greatest county
agricultural show in all the state OF
Minnesota and it has been made so
by the interest and energy Of small
group of energetic agricultural en-
thusiasts at Hibbing, who have never
grown weary in the good cause OF
keeping to the forefront the agricul-
tural possibilities Of this section of St.
Louis county.
Our neighbors at Hibbing are
worthy Of more cooperation from us
than they have received in the past
Virginia ought to have at the fair an
exhibit Of it's home garden stuff, some
thing to indicate the wealth Of its
lumber industry and Virginia ladies
will find that the fair directors have
prepared domestic science premium
list that is especially attractive. In
fact this department has always been
one Of more than ordinary interest
The poultry show at the fair, too, is
we'll worth looking up As regards its
premiums.
And every Virginian who can pos
sibly spare the time should spend al
least one day at the fair. 1t is about
the only opportunity afforded in St
Louis county at any time TO see gooe
harness races. The speed program
will bring all Of the best entries from
the various northwestern circuits. L
Virginia could make day Of it ant
attend the fair in one body the cit!
could make an impressive showing
and one that would help its neighbour
preserve the good opinion they al
ready hold of it.

PREVENTIVE MEDICINE.
REVENTIVE medicine has S


r ed another victory in the city
d of New Orleans, recently
threatened with an epidemic Of bu-
bonic plague, one of the most terrible
of all diseases that afflicts mankind.
One of the most effective agents was
no doubt the campaign for the exter-
nination of rats, which are famous as
carriers Of the bubonic plague disease
germ.
Preventive medicine has accomplish
ed some wonderful things during the
past few decades. In point are vac
cination as an agent for immunity
from smallpox, oil for stagnant
marches where breed myriads of mos
quitoes that are effective distributors
Of the yellow fever germ, and the
anti-toxin treatment for diptheria.
But the greatest accomplishment oil
preventive medicine in the opinion Of
the laity is the knowledge of com
mon hygiene and sanitation that has
been brought to the people at large
through liberal advertising campaign:
and free access to intelligently pre-
pared and easily understood litera
ture.
The world owes good deal to pre-
ventive medicine and the stamping on
of the bubonic plague in New Orleans
whose open sewers and general sani
tary condition and location wer
particularly favorable to its spread
is not one of the least of them. 1t i

SIX HOURS DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN TIME HERE
AND SEAT OF WAR
The following table shows the time
in the various European war capitals
at IL o'clock, noon, in Virginia.

This explains how night news is
told in the afternoon editions of Vir-
ginia papers. AS there is six
hours difference between Virginia
and London and two hours more be-
tween London and St. Petersburg it
lends opportunity to publish reports
of news events seemingly before they
have happened.
This difference in time throws prac-
tically all of the important news de-
velopements of the day in the after
noon papers.
