Native Of Highland
Killed in Kansas

News reached the city last night
of tragedy occurring in Kansas
in which Verge Harold, a native OF
Highland and we'll known here:
lost his life. Particulars could not
be had, but at the home of Nor
ris Harold, on Thompson street, a
message had come from Highland
saying that young Harold, a neph-
ew of Norris Harold, had been shot
to death by his stepiather Edward
Wyman at the town OF Parker
Kansas.
The stepfather had separated
from Mrs. Wyman and it is sad
they had been divorced. Mrs. wy,
mans first husband, who moved
with her from Highland was killed
many years ago in cave in while
digging we'll and she later mar
ried Wyman with whom her son
by her first marriage did not get
along we'll.
Trouble had been brewing for
some time between young Harold
and his step father because of the
alleged treatment of Harold's mo-
Their.
From the meager reports the
two men quarrelled and fought.
The younger was struck by three
shots and killed. Wyman claimed
self defence.
The Harolds have a large family
connection in Augusta and High.
land and Verge Harold was quite
we'll known in Staunton.-Staunton

Monterey. Va, July 10th.
To the Members and Friends of the
NJ. E, Church South, Monterey
Circuit.
My Dear People:
It is with sincere regret that l
leave my field of labor for a vaca-
ton of several weeks. l am not
going in search of pleasure, but,
under the advice Of two physicians,
| am going in the hope of recuper-
ating strength for further service.
Ny health has been on the de-
cline for several months, and has
now reached a state which makes
this change imperative. During
my absence, not ore of you shall
be forgotten at the Throne of Grace;
and it is comforting to think that
many of YOU will also intercede for
me-.
1t is my earnest hope that the
remaining months of the confer
ence year may be rich in blessing
to every congregation.
\ Cordially yours,

In the true tropical forest, sgricul-
ture is practically out of the question,
writes Ellsworth Huntington in the
Tale Review. Even for the white
man 1t is difficult to clear the ground,
and for the sluggish son Of the tropics
1t Is almost impossible. Not that he
cannot cut the trees, although this
Is a slow process where the huge
trunks throw out buttresses five to
ten feet in radius, but that having cut
them he cannot dispose Of them. The
primary reason for the existence OF
the genuine tropical forest Is that
rain falls abundantly at practically
all seasons. There may be, and usu-
ally is, a short dry season when the
sun Is farthest from the zenith. New.
ertheless, even at this time the
drought Is not absolute. When the
trees are felled the only way of get
ting rid of them Is by burning. I'm
der the ardent tropical sun most trees
will become dry enough to burn
in two or three weeks. If they do
not become ready to burn during the
dry season, 1t Is useless to think of
such a thing later. They will rot
away, to be sure, and disappear with
in few seasons, but this Is of little
use, for meanwhile a new growth has
quickly sprouted. In the tropical
rain forests, bushes will grow to a
| height of ten Or twenty feet in a SIN
gle year. Indeed, in the short space
Of two months 50 much heritage
will spring up that piece Of forest
which has been cut cannot be burned,
even though the trees have become
dry.
This ia no theory, but actual fact,
In the spring of 1913, in a part OF
; Guatemala, where the forest is by no
means of the densest kind and where
q considerable number Of coffee plan
tations exist, saw this happen, The
trees had been cut, but SO many show
ers fell during the nominal dry season
that the branches did not become dry
enough to burn and consequently
many people were unable to plant
crops.

Washington Letter

Washington. D. c., July 49,
AS Congress draws to a close, COM
ment in Washington is widespread
and impressive regarding the en-
inerce of Virginia and Virginians
in both the House and Senate. AS
a matter of fact, the Old Dominion
stands in the forefront Of all the
states as having contributed to the
present era of government the
greatest number of influential men
and real statesmen.
In the Senate, Thomas S. Mar
tin is recognized as the most poten-
tial figure among his colleagues.
Not ONLY is this true so far as the
sentiment among Senators is CON
cerned, but there is the additional
fact hat PRESIDENT Wilson, on sew
eral occasions has voiced in en-
phatic terms his gratitude to both
Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Swanson for
the sterling manner in which they
have held up the hands of the
Administration throug hout its en-
tire legislative program. Hardly
second to Martins supremacy
is the uniformly excellent
work done by Mr.. Twanson both
as a speaker on the floor and as a
worker in committees.
In the House Virginia's standing
has been made all the more impress
sive by the manner in which the
younger-tbat is the newer men,
bers have forged to the front both
in personal influence and in their
committee work. Watson and
Saunders, both new men whose
services have just been prolonged
two more years by denomination,
are conspicuous in Congress as hav-
ing built up in a phenomenally
short time regulations for weight
and efficiency.
So pressing and important were
their legislative tasks that, at a
time when most Congressman alb
sent themselves from Washington
for the purpose of insuring their
denomination, these two were COM
PEELED to stick to their posts in he
national capital. Being leaders in
various phases of the legislative
IF gram. their presence here was
essential.
Among the older members in the
delegation, the achievements of
Flood, Hay and ~Carlin have been
necessary parts of the most striking
things accomplished by Congress.
Flood, in handling the legislation
affecting Mexico; Hay, in complet-
ing and ambitious legislatvescheme
for the betterment of the army,
and Carlin, in shaping the anti
trust legislation, have made Virgi
MIA a synonym for craftsmanship
throughout the country.
In fact, this legislative import
ance of Virginia--which is height
ened by the fact that such men as
Oscar w. Underwood were educated
at the University of Virginia re-
calls in picturesque manner the
DAYS of the colonies and the first
years of the republic when tie
voice Of Virginia was the com
manding note in every conference
touching large affairs. The acumen
of John Randolph, the unHagglng
zeal of Patrick Henry and the
tremendous work of such men as
Jefferson and Monroe-all these
are beng repeated and made real
again by the Virglnians who form
the most powerful legislative group
that has been sent to Congress by

LEON WON A PLACE
With Miss NanCie Kemp in the Sub
District Declamat0ry Contest
at OsCC0ld last Friday.

The Southwestern Iowa High
School Declamatory sub-district con-
test was held at Osceola last Friday
evening and Leon was represented by
about thirty-five people, who accom-
panied the one Leon contestant, Miss
Nancie Kemp, and they had the sat
isfaction of seeing her win second
place in the dramatic class, and is
therefore entitled to take part on
the district contest to be held at
Villisca on Friday, March goth. Miss
Kemp acquitted herself remarkably
we'll considering that it was her first
appearance in a contest outside her
home school, and her markings were
high, one of the three judges placing
her first, and the winner had had the
experience of being in several pre-
vious contests. She will go to the
district contest at Villisca and will
have just as good a chance of Win
ming first there as the winner of first
in the sub-district contest. There
were twelve schools represented in
the contest, Alton, Bedford, Corning,
Garden Grove, GlenWood, Greenfield,
Leon, Malvern, Osceola, Shenandoah,
Tabor and Villisca. +
Osceola did herself proud in enter
tanning the visiting schools. A fine
supper was served in the basement of
the NJ. Z. church, the superintendent
and teachers occupying one table,
and the twelve contestants another.
In the afternoon cocoa and sand
wiches were served by the High
School domestic science classes.
The program was carried out very
c,1oooccf,l1y tho 1u0rk nf aach cNn-
testant being of a high order indeed.
Some splendid musical numbers were
furnished by the high school chorus.
The winners were as follows:
ORATORICAL.
First, John Christopher Tabor,
Indifference Second, Glen Thom-
as, Corning, Impeachment of War
rem Hastings
DRAMATIC.
First, Ruth BOehner, Malvern,
"The Littlest Rebel" Second, Nancy
Kemp, Leon, ''The Soul of the Vio-
lin
HUMOROUS.
First, Emily Baldwin, Osceola,
"Sally AIMS Experience. Second.
Marie Edwards, Villisca, 'The Mus
tard Plaster"
Each winner was presented with a
gold medal by the association, and
each contestant received an Osceola
H. S. banner from the Osceola HtgIs
School. - 's! y
Those who win first place at the
coming district contest will 60 to the
state High School contest to compete
for state h0n0rs.
The sub-district contest will be
held at Leon next year.
(We had expected to print halt
tone picture of Miss Kemp but the
engraver failed to get it to US in
time for this issuc.)

Will Improve Drug Store.

c. A. Cherrington, the popular
druggist, has placed an order for an
entire new outfit of store fixtures for
his drug store. The fixtures will be
of the finest mahogany, with marble
bases for the counter and the very
latest thing in drug store fixtures. He
also ordered new iceless soda foun-
tain, all of solid marble which will
be installed at the same time as the
fixtures. The fountain is one of the
very latest, with all the attachments
for serving luncheonettes and these
will be feature of the new foun-
tain. His contract calls for the new
fixtures and fountain to be installed
by April 18th, and when they are
placed Mr.. Cherrington will have one
of the prettiest drug stores west of
Chicago. He has decided that there
is nothing too good for Leon, and he
proposes to give the town drug
store Of which they will be proud.

vice is 11:OO. Those who have
