money to cope with crisis was cut
out. Believed senate will return this
clause and that the house will then

nation is authentic. Sec'y Lansing,

VIRGINIA NEWS.

Charged with a number of unu-
sual crimes, W. D. Ray, was landed
in the Jail Tuesday night by Sheriff
Croushorn, who arrested his man in
the mountains of Randolph county,
West Virginia. Ray is accused of
failing to register, for the selective
draft, with setting fire to the Raw
ley Springs property, II miles west
of Harrisonburg, and with assault
ing a man with a stove poker. His
arrest was due to a fake story Ray
tried to put over on Harrisonburg
paper. The item, written from
Wymer, w. Va, told of the death of
w. D. Ray in a. railroad accident.
Sheriff Croushorn suspected that the
story was fake and made trip to
West Virginia. After searching six
houses he found Ray asleep and
nabbed him.
Danville started out yesterday to
raise $4,000 for the National Red

RESPONSE OF THE SOUTH
Increased Production of FOodstuffs
For The Armies and Navies of
limited States and Allies.

Increased Production of FOodstuffs
For The Armies and Navies of
United States and Allies.
Washington, D. c., June 28.-"The.
South is making splendid response
to the appeal for larger production
of food stufs for the armies and
navies of the United States and our
allies" said President Fairfax Har-
rison of the Southern Railway Sys-
tenn today.
81 note that the United States
Agricultural Department estimates
that the commercial crop of Irish
potatoes in the states served by the
Southern Railway System, with the
exception of Kentucky and Tennessee,
for which figures are not available,
will amount this year to 24,243,OOO
bushels, as compared with CONNER
cial crop of 19,5O2,700 bushels in the
same states last year, showing an
increase of 4,740,3O0 bushels, or over
% per cent. While the Department
has no estimates for Kentucky and
Tennessee, it is well known that the
acreage in those states has also been
greatly increased; and in all the
southern states there will be large
production in home gardens and IN
vacant lots in the towns and cities
which is not included in the estimates
of the Agricultural Department. This
is not all that the South will do in
tie production of potatoes for, owing
to the advantage of the long grow
ing season, potatoes for the fall crop
are still being put in and will continue
to be planted during July.
"This is only one of the things
that the South is doing in the pres
'ent emergency. An unprecedentedly
large acreage of sweet potatoes has
been planted The acreage in corn
will exceed all previous records, and
especially in the central and south
ern parts of the territory, velvet
beams have been planted IN almost
all of the corn fields. The effect OF
this will be to produce an immense
quantity of feed for animals, leav-
ing a much larger proportion of the
corn crop than usual available for
human food" ...+.
