Rev. David Hepburn. assistant superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League
Of Virginia ne oft mos influential Baptist minister's in Virgtnia,h as
withdrawn his support from Hon. John Garland Pollard as a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for governor. Rev. Mr.. Hepburn Omitted
this fact stn night when asked if it vas IS reported in n OF the
afternoon papers that he had written a letter to the ATTORNEY general tell
ing him why h e could nt longer support him.
Reports nav been circulated by Mr.. Pollard n his friends accord
ing o information received by The Vrgfnian, that certain leaders of tn
Hepburn, the assistant superintendent. and other influential men in
the organization were supporting him. 1t became noised about some days
& however, that Mr.. Hepburn had written to Mr. Pollard withdrawing
his support n telHng him why he had followed this course.
Rev MI Hepburn vas zen latn night by a representative of The Nfr-
gilman and asked If 1t vas rue as reported. that he had written Nh Pol

Of h Anti-Saloon agu In a very harsh n unfrfendlv n This
fact is referred to in Mr. Fepburns letter. Mr.. Hepburn fully investigated
the matters discussed by Mr.. Pollard before writing his letter satisfied
himself that h attitude assumed by the attorney general vas not justified
by the facts and circumstances and that his criticisms were unfair both to
the leaders of tn emperance aus and to The Richmond virgnhn.

ing Attention AZ Proper Time
Won't stand Neglect.

That the average home orchard is a
liability rather than an asset Is a thing
much to be regretted. However, this is
true. for some orchards are too much
neglected 10 produce even a good home
supply of fruit. Such an orchard occu-
pies valuable farm land on which IL
pays neither taxes nor interest on the
money invested. The orchard is not at
fault, 1t is the owner. If a grain crop
or bunch of live stock was neglected
II would return even less than a neg
lected orchard. But with attention ut
the proper time the orchard, like the
grain crop or live stock, will yield good
returns. The experimental work con-
Quoted for a number Of years at Pur-
due has demonstrated that orchards
can be made paying investments.
The net profits Of properly man.
aged orchard will average $126.34 per
acre every year. These results may
be obtained from the average neglected
farm orchards. Every farm should
have an orchard, but it should not be
so large as to demand more attention
than the owner can give it. If proper
attention cannot be given the fruit
trees it is better that they be cut down
and the space they occupy be given to
other crops.

The remedy is to spray with some

Des Moines, Ia, Oct 17.-So small

to misunderstanding of the law gov

the county supervisors were required

their vote would materially change

at escape. Three times he fled in the

and again to Denmark, but in every
case without success This was the
first time he had tried his luck in the
direction of the Netherlands frontier,
and after being two months and twen-

his perseverance.

sr MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WIRE


Washington, oct. f7.--NeutraI ma
tons, and particularly those in
Europe, must be, prepared to share
even greater privations and burdens
made necessary by the war under the
decision of the recent allied confer
ence at London.
Details of the conference are be-
ginning to reach Washington through
official channels. They show that the
allies are determined to support their
armies in the field by cutting off as
far as possible all supplies for the
German army from neutral sources
through a tightening of the block
ade. -
Attention was called at the confer
ence to the necessity of preventing
Sweden from supplying Germany with
metals and the general opinion was
that hereafter the neutrals should be
compelled to furnish the allies with
goods of then own productions that
they can not consume, in exchange Tor
supplies from the allies. Further they
will be required to use their own
ships for this trade.
Such is the new blockade formula
which must be strictly applied and
which will make it impossible for
Germany to continue the struggle"
said one declaration of the confer
ence.
The extent of which the United
States will be influenced by the decis-
ions of the London conference has
been revealed but that this govern
ment is in accord with them is evil

upon exports to the European neu-
trails from this country
