MIR. HART'Sl CANDIDACY.

(From the Roanoke World-News.)
The World-News prints in it's is
sue today an article reviewing care
fully the platform recently proclaimed
by Mr.. r. C. Stearns, superintendent
of Public Instruction. We ask our
readers to turn to that article and
read it attentively. From it they
will gather some most important
points involved in the contest between
Mr.. Stearns and Mr.. Harris Hart. a
contest that unquestionably is of vast
significance for the people of the
State. Mr.. Stearns and Mr.. Hart are
candidates for the office of Superin-
tendent, Of public instruction, and if
voters are to act and to vote intelli-
gently they must study what these
two men stand for and from which
of them the States school system
can obtain the most efficient admins
tration.
So far as the World-News is con-
cerned, it believes that Mr.. Hart is
the man for the position, and it is
confident that the voters of the State
are going to record the same belief
when the votes are counted in No
vember. People of Virginia, and
particularly those who pay taxes and
who have children in the public
schools, have been extremely restless
under the many apparent confusions
and lack of strong coordination in
the educational department, There
has been and is much talk in vague
generalities of what progress has
been made and broad policies for
school development, but these gem
eralities do not convey any specific
information, and such information
is what the article in today's World
News attempts to give.
If there is any department in this
State that voters should consider
with a eye single to it's best inter-
ests, it is the department of educa-
tion. Every trace of politics and ev-
cry shred of prejudice should be dis
missed, and only the desire to pick
the best man should prevail. Amy
voter, no matter who he is, who goes
to the polls and casts his vote for
superintendent of public instruction
without giving the matter fai1
thought, is recreant to a vital trust
and Indifferent to the welfare of the
hundreds Of thousands of little chill.
dren who attend our public schools
Therefore, let the voter begin right
now to consider the equipment, the
record and the achievements of Mr.
Hart and Mr.. Stearns, and if they
will do this, we hayn't the remotesi
doubt as to what their decision will
j be,

NEWSPAPER SUSPENDS.

Freezing, Va, July 16.-Dickenson
county is again without a newspaper,
THE Moon," having suspended pub
lication. Rnumber of weekly papers
have been launched ct Clintwood, but
none have proved to be successful i'll
financial way, or survived but a
few months. A newspaper could pos
sibly be made to pay if conducted
along popular lines and kept up re-
gularly. The people have been slow
to give support to their county paper,
and the result has uniformly been
that those behind the enterprise have
become discouraged, and the papers
have all suspended publication.

MARINES FIRST ASHORE.

The U. S. marines lived up to their
tradition, and were the "first ashore
in France when Pershing's expedi-
tion landed. 1t was one of their
transports that the submarines first
fired on during the trip to France.
The lookout on the mariners trans
port could not see the submarines
owing to the darkness He saw the
wake of two topedoes, however, one
passing the bow and the other the
stern.
The destroyers were in full cry af-
ter the submarines, but the guns of
the transports let go in the direction
in which the U-boats were believed to
be. Then the destroyers swung in
line and the transport had to cease
firing.
After this battle, from German
sources, it is learned that four of the
largest submarines in tie German
fleet failed to return to its base.
One of the destroyers coming from
European waters to meet the Amer
lean fleet reported she had sunk IL
U-boat few days before. The de-
stroyer had answered the call of the
vessel in distress. Then only short
distance away submarine was sight
ed. The destroyer charged at the
submarine, passed over the spot where
the submarine dived and let go a
mine. A vast quantity of wreckage
and oil came to the surface, men,
bers of the crew said.
"We guess some Heinies have
missed the iron cross" was the way
the destroyer crew reported their ex-
ploit.

USE FOR BLGHTED WOOD
Chestnut Timber Not in Its First
Years of Life Still Available
for Many Purposes.

Blighted chestnut timber resists
decay as well as timber from healthy
trees, and barked dead wood is much
more durable than unpeeled live
wood, so far as a three-year test will
determine, according to the forest
service. The blight is otherwise
known as the chestnut-tree bark dis
ease. In 1913 poles, ties and posts
cut from bhght-killed, bIight-infect-
ed and healthy chestnut trees were
carefully tagged and placed in posi-
ton. A recent annual inspection of
the experiments determined that all
of the material was in good condi-
ton except for deterioration of sap
wood and knots. The sapwood Of
chestnut is not durable, and that on
ties and on butts of poles and posts
and on Embarked posts is now mostly
decayed. Round posts cut from
small limby trees suffer early decay
in the knots, which carry the decay
into the post and thus weaken it.
The chestnut durability expert
ments to date indicate that blight
killed or infected trees yield timber
just as durable as that from healthy
trees. In fact, piece from sea-
soned dead tree is more durable
than an Embarked piece from a live
tree. No one should therefore hesi-
tate to use timber from blight-killed
or infected trees for purposes for
which chestnut is suitable and dur
ability is consideration.
