cllt OUully.
am anxious for all Ex-Vir-
ginians to meet, and organize in
some way to strengthen the ties
that naturally bind us together.
OF course this includes all who
were born in the state, and may
have at some time resided else
where. We love he state Of orr
adoption and are loyal to all of
her interests but we must not.
and cannot forget the State Of
our Nativity. We take for
granted that everybody recog-
nizes Virginia as the greatest
State in the American Union,
but they do not, and our memoir
les are becoming a little cloudy.
Let us arise in our manhood and
indulge in some old time brag.
Let is tell our neighbors to keep
still and listen to a genuine arti-
Gle Of ancient history. We are
exiles, but we can sing
1--WE love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and tempted hills"
May l ask every paper in La
fayette County to contribute to
this good cause, by publishing
this notice, and by urging all
Virginians to govern themselves
accordingly?
Let everyone who will join in
this effort, drop me a card, and
give his, or her name, and post
office address, and also the name
of the County in Virginia in
which they lived.
Twill open up a Register" and
record these names, and have the
list published in our county pa
pers, and in due time will call a
meeting for organization. More
than likely we will select some
convenient place and date, and
have an old time basket picnic,
and some old time orators to stir
up the activities of our minds,
and thereby refresh our memoir
les concerning the days that are
gone.
VIII everyone assist in making
this registration correct?

Care of Mare and FOal at FOal-
ing Time.

Mares in foal should receive
regular exercise up to the time
Of foaling. 1t is advisable that
they be worked lightly or that
they have the run of a lot where
exercise can be taken. In work
ing mares in foal, experience
proves that heavy pulling, jerk
ing, backing and deep mud
should be avoided.
Bright mixed hay, timothy,
choice alfalfa and good clover are
excellent roughages for mares in
foal. Sound whole oats, corr
and bran are very practical con-
c%entrates to feed them when
heavy in foal. Two parts whole
oats, two parts corn, and one
part bran, by weight, Quantity
to feed depends on size of mare) ,
with what hay they will eat, is
an excellent ration. 1t is advis-
able to feed but one-half the
grain ration when it becomes ap-
parent that a mare will foal
within forty eight hours.
Shortly after the mare has
foaled a drink of luke warm
water should be given her. The
same ration fed prior to foaling
is usually satisfactory after foal-
ing.
When it is possible, the mare
should foal in a dry, well lighted
and bedded box stall or in a clean
grass lot, If she foals in a box
stall, it should be thoroughly
cleaned and d~isinfected with a
8 @ solution of carbolic acid be-
fore she enters it. A light COW
ering of air slaked lime on the
floor underneath the bedding is
very practical safeguard against
navel trouble.
After she has foaled it is adj
visable to clean the stall inn
m%ediately, disinfect again and
bed thoroughly. AS a preventa.
tive of navel and Joint disease in
the foal, saturate its navel as
soon as possible with a so solu.
ton of lysol OF. other disinfect.

Secretary's mind that it will ac-

High-bred dogs of Washington
are wagging their tails in antici-
patton of the bench show to be
held by the Washington Kennel
Club on Monday and Tuesday
next. A leading feature of the
show will be the exhibition of
German sheep dogs, the property
Of Mrs. B. F.. Throop of New
York. The dogs of this breed
are commonly known as police
dogs. At the present time they
are much used in the theater of
war, hunting out the wounded
in the field of battle and assist
ing in the transportation of
small guns. Another class of
dogs that will be well represent
ed at the exhibition is the Dober-
man pinchers, which are also
known as police dogs. Their
speciality, as the result of careful
training, consists of assisting
the police in the running down of
criminals.

Gossip of the National Cap
ital.

Washington, D. c., april 10
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has fixed next Monday as
the date for the hearing on plans
for readjustment Of back haul
rates by transcontinental roads
from Pacific coast terminals to
points east of the terminals in
coast States and in the so-called
i~ntermountain territory. Adjust
ment Of the rates was suggested
in a recent order by the commits
sion authorizing the transcOn-
tinental roads to decrease COM
modify rates to Pacific coast ter
minals in order that they might
compete with water carriers US
ing the Panama canal. An in
crease in back haul rates was
suggested as a proper means of
Increasing the carriers revenue.
Plans for such readiustments
have been filed with the commits
sion by roads which reach the
California and northern coast
terminals.
The launching Of the two new
coast guard cutters building at
Newport News, which originally
was fixed to take place a week
from next Tuesday, probably
will be postponed in order that
Secretary McAdoo of the Treas
ury Department may be able to
attend with the prospect Of re-
stored health. The vessels will
be christened the Ossipee and
Tallapoosa, these names of In
dian derivation being chosen in
accordance with the established
practice Of the coast guard SER
vice. Miss Sally McAdoo, daugh-
ter Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, will act as sponsor for the
Ossipee, and Miss Mabel Hart
well, daughter of H. T. Hartwell
of Mobile, Alabama, will act as
sponsor for the Tallapoosa.
An early move of the new
House ways and means commit
tee when Congress convenes will
be to press for action on the bill
to protect the fast-disappearing
fur-bearing animals of Alaska.
The legislation favored by the
committee would enlarge the
scope Of the present law by max
ing it unlawful, in addition to
the killing Of fur-bearing animals
there, to iniure, trap, hunt, dis
turb, catch or pursue them, as
well as hair seals, harbor seals,
sea lines and walruses. 1t would
bar the sale, barter, shipment,
possession or control of any of
these animals, dead or alive. The

PASSED THE 500 MARK

of 269 Points Since
War Began.

NEW YORK, August 5.-Common
stock of the Bethlehem Steel Corpora
ton. whose rise has seen few parallels
in the history of the New York Stock
Exchange, passed the 900 mark today.
1t sold during the morning at 3O1, a
gain since the beginning of the war
of 269 points The company was in
corporated in 1904 and the stock has
never paid dividend.
The rise today was IL points from
the previous high record. established
yesterday, of 29O. The stock has ad-
vanced so points this week. When the
stock exchange closed July 30. 1914,
just before the outbreak of the war, it
was quoted at 80.
Based on Little Authentic News.
The advance of this stock and the
shares of other corporations in the war
order group has been accompanied by
unrestrained speculation, with little
authentic information on which to base
such a rise. ~. ~
1t has been known in a general way
that Bethlehem Steel had received
huge war orders on which the profits
presumably are large, but no official
figures have been given out.
Many stocks have been lifted from
comparative obscurity to sudden popu-
larity at rising prices by similar re-

Movement Started in May.

Movement Started in May.
The movement may be said to have
had it's inception in May. when the
great Teutonic march through Galicia
began. To get at the Russian armies
in Poland from the southeast it first
was necessary to clear Galicia. or the
greater part of it, of the troops of that
nation.
How successfully this was accom-
plished is familiar history. Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen's campaign in its
first important stage eliminated when
late in June Lemberg was -retaken and
the Russians were driven over the
Galician border.
Teutonic Forces Halt.
Then early in July the Teutonic
forces. coming up from the SOUTH halt
the next stage of the campaign. Signs
apparent. Great armies had been as
sembled to the north, and these early
in July began pressing down upon the
Russians from that direction.
A vigorous offensive was opened in
the Baltic provinces, the Teutonic
along the east Prussian border, and
with Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
directing the general operations along
this section of the fighting front a de-
termined drive began in the Przasysz
region.
Deliver Smashing Blows.
simultaneously the Teutonic armies
in the south showed reawakening ac-
tivity. Field Marshal Won Mackensen
resumed his advance, his German forces
working with the Austrians to inflict
smashing blows upon the Russians
from this direction. Step by step the
Austro-German hosts pounded their
way toward the city from the north
and the south, while on the west actiV-
tiles along the line of intrenchments
that had so long held off the Germans
in that section were resumed

gagged in this encircling movement the

man armies swept on: BY July 19 they
had forced the Russians back to the
line Of the Narew river and pushed
their way to within twenty miles ,,e OF
their goal. The fortress of OStrolenka
was taken and the Nowogeorgievsk
fortification, the key to Warsaw on the
north. was approached. To the south
Radon was occupied and the hussian
were threatened.
German Lines Tighten.
Then began a Tightening of the Ger
man lines around the capital. The Teu-
tons forced their way to the southwest
of the city, pushed their way across the
River Narew below OstrOlenka. and
battering at the fortified gates of the
city started Il earnest Tuesday of this
week by Bavarian troops under COM
mand of Prince Leopold Of Bavaria.
From the beginning of the war the
salient in the Russian line formed by
the band necessary to include Warsaw
and a large portion of Poland had
been a thorn in the flesh of the Rus
sian military authorities. They show
ed this by their desperate and at times
partially successful attempts to
straighten their fighting front. Before
they could advance at the center and
move west from Warsaw the wings
must be brought up so as to prevent
successful flanking movements.
