Last week the Tribune stated that
Miss Elsa Wollthan, who graduates
with the Senior class Of the Morris
High School this year, would not re-
ceive her diploma until next August
because she only had fifteen and a
half credits. On first thought this
might look as IL Miss Wollthan had
fallen behind in her work, but it is
just the opposite and we make the
following explanation in case any
one might have got the wrong idea.
Miss Elsa has made these fifteen and
a half credits In three years times,
where 1t generally takes the average
student four years to get sixteen cre-
dts; the amount necessary to gradu-
ate.

ALREADY" said a farmer this week,
"the farmers are being hard put FOR

a general scarcity of competent farm

mines, on the railroads and on pub

large numbers of young men VINO

London, Feb. 19.-Stung in their
pride by the loss of positions to the
French through the aid Of American

Commission of Agriculture Estimates
That There are Over Forty Million
Bushels out Doors in Virginia.

The Gazette is today in receipt
of the following from the Federal
State Director for Virginia:
1t is estimated by the Commission
of Agriculture for Virginia that OFT
of a crop of 100000 bushels of
corn there are between 40,000,ucO
and 50,O00,00O bushels still in the
fields waiting to be shucked out.
The U. S. Boys Working Reserve
will try to secure boys and youEg
men to help farmers with the work
of clearing this corn off the fields.
Every effort will be made to obtain
boys, not only from the towns or
Virginia, but from Washington, d.
c., and possibly other cities.
Owing to the unfavorable cond:-
tions last fall it is found that seed
corn is exceedingly scarce and an
reliable. and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture advises tha.
all seed be tested. The Council of
Defence for Virginia has under con-
sideration a plan to set all the
school children of the state to WORK,
under the supervision of their teach
ers at the task of testing seed core
for farmers. The need for the work IS
urgent, and without the help Of the
children it is difficult to see how It
could be done at all. Prompt offer of
generous terms by the farmers will
do much to help secure the help
needed in this critical situation.
Placards bearing the following are
being posted throughout the state:
"The U. S. Boys Working Reserve
will try to provide boys between 10
and u Immediately TO help farmers
by shucking corn. Comfortable quar-
tiers and good food must be prov:G-
ed for the boys, who will pay for
their board. The boys will work at
so much per barrel Ask the post

Now Valued at $500 900.


The Valley Turnpike, pride of the

ard operated as toll road, will come
entirely under control of the State

comes a law.
The turnpike is owned by cor
poration, with a capital stock OF

The Valley Turnpike traverses Au-

spent annually on It's upkeep. Under
the new apportionment to be made OIL

tenancc of the State highway sys-
TEN. only $l0,250 will be given to the
four; counties, as against slightly
more than $4,000 they received un-

With the growth Of the automobile

Of these counties feel that the State
would lose nothing by taking over
the highway and giving the appro-
