The virginian believes the charter
change committee cannot do better
than adopt into the outline of NUM-
cipai government as explained by
Arthur Glasgow. That system is far
different from the present one: in
fact is almost Numerically opposed

city government as a thing that can

Then. why adopt q standard OF gov

NORTHERN VIRGINIA
IS DR0UGAT-S STRICKEN
Farmers Fear For Corn Crops Safety
Shenandoah Valley Is Especially
Hard Hit

Luray, va, jury 1.-THE most de-
vastating. destructive drought ever ex-
perienced in Northern Virginia Is
sweeping over the Shenandoah Valley.
Hot. sitting winds blow each day
and farmers say are doing more harm
to growing crops than the hot sun.
Rain has not fallen In this section
for long time, and the truckers have
had big losses in garden vegetation,
in the first place, experiencing great
difficulty In getting a stand in their
crops on account of new and time
honored pests destroying the early
paintings.
The corn crop Is viewed with. alarm
by farmers who declare that an in
fallable sign of the destruction of the
crop is the fact that 1t is failing to
unroll during the night after being
subjected to blisternng sun of the pre-
vious day. In many fields the corn
is looking as unpromising at daylight
as 1t was in the afternoon of the
previous day. Pasture lands are as
bare in many places as In mtd-winter,
and the grazing farms In the Blue
Ridge and Masaanuton Mountains
have made complete failure in sus-
tanning the thousands of head of cattle
that each year grow fat on the luxu-
riantriant pastures found In ragion.

been q better case for Great Britain.
Naturally this fact could not BIO ad-

to do SO would have been an admission
of negligence on the part of the line
officials and the ADMINISTRATION.
In the light of these considerations
1t is not surprising that the cour,
