NOTICE

One chief source of road deteriora-
ton is the tendency of traffic TO fol-
low constant line Of travel, which
wears and deprcsses the road orswn
along this line Of continuous use. The
entire road surface, including the
shoulders, mt least in dry weather,
should be used with the view of avoid
ing as much rs possible this objes-
tionable propensity. Thus will our
roads wear evenly, prevent to great
extent the inclination to drep in hslex
or ruts, which obstruct proper drain
age and cause water to soak into the
road, greatly to its injury. We are all
aware how important and expensive
a feature is the maintenapee Of our
good roads; let us apply willingly.
therefore, since it is to our interest. II
for no other reason, one Of the RENE.
dies for their economical use.
Respectfully,

Buy War Savings Stamps.
BEWARE OF FAKE STOCKS.

To the Editor:
For the protection of your people
from being dcfraudcd by the sale of
worthless stock, will you kindly give
space in your paper to the following
item:
In past ye::rs thousands of people
in Virginia have been defr udcd of
substantial amounts of money some
times representing the savings of
lifetime, through the sale Of worth
less stock. The Legislature at its
last session passed what is called the
"blue sky" law, giving the State Cor
poration Commission supervision
over the sale of speculative securi-
ties. The Commission desires to
make the law real protection to
the public, and in order to do this,
it needs public cooperation. People
to whom are offered stock for sale
are urged to demand the evidence
that the law has been complied with,
in the shape of certificate issued
by the Commission. If it is not forth
coming, write full particulars to the
State Corporation Commission, Rich
mond, Virginia. giving the name of
the corporation whose shares are
offered, with the name and address
of it's agent. Heavy penalties for
those who break this law.
