NEW COUNTRY CLUB SITE
LIES NEAR WARRENTON
Board of Governors Chosen, Mem
bership List Filling Up and
Outlook Flattering.

WARRENTON, Va. August 16.-The
preliminary arrangements for the
foundation of country club in the
neighborhood of Warrenton are now
able to report satisfactory progress.
and the Warrenton Country Club has
received the sanction of the state au-
thorities to carry on the usual activi-
ties of such a club. Under the law
there will be no personal financial liza
bility on any member of the club
except for the payment of club fees
and dues, as may be provided in the
bylaws Of the club.
In order to provide for the tenn
porary management of the clubs al :
fairs, pending completion of the list
of members. fifteen gentlemen have
been named in the charter as gov
temporary officers and provide the
working plans until permanent plans
and organization can be erected by
the members.
At an informal meeting of the gov
errors held at Whrrenton last week
the subject of the club site was con
sidered. An offer was made by Mitch
ell Harrison to lease the properties
known as the Brown farm and the
Benner meadow, either together or
singly, to the club and 1t was de-
cided to accept the offer and recon,
on terms offered by the owner.
The property is we'll known to war.
rentonians as being the old home OF
DR.. Kennedy. 1t is situated on the
Alexandria pike about one mile from
the courthouse. The house is situated
Inn X
ing Cedar run, with a fine view OF the
mountains in the distance.
A report was presented by the COM
mittee which had viewed the property
stating that the prospects for very
sporting and interesting golf course
were excellent. and that the place
offered exceptional opportunities for
a good course with comparatively
small outlay. w. F. Wilbur reported
that the Benner meadow offered good
facilities for a polo field.
The initial difficulties have now been
overcome and the club starts with
brilliant prospects of success. The
residents of Warrenton have mani
tested a keen interest in the move
ment, and applications for member
Fauquier and adjoining counties,
Washington New York. Florida and
elsewhere. It is the intention of the
club to open as soon as a sufficient
number of names have been formally
assured.
The purpose of the club is to reno
vate the present house as soon as
possible. making it suitable for club
purposes. to provide tennis courts
imm ediately and to begin work on the
golf course, and then arrange for
hunting, polo and steeplechases. 1t is
obvious that all these advantages
cannot be obtained at once. but the
club will not be satisfied until 1t has
fully provided for .all the wants OF
both social and sporting life.

facts. First. that there are many
mosquitoes being Matched in rain
and artificial containers of many kinds
in back yards and around the doors
of houses. Second, that many mos
quitoes are Matched in slowly running
streams within the town limits. In
one Of these streams DR.. Flanagan
found q large number of malarial
mosquitoes. In speaking OF the con-
troll Of mosquitoes in this section,
Dr. Flanagan said that the control
Of the situation would not be very
difficult. az there are no breeding
controlled by some known method
Of preventing mosquitoes. He fur
ther stated that a largo percentage
of the mosquitoes could be extermi-
mated IL every one would take care
that no artificial containers were left
with water in them in which mos
quitoes could breed. A little kero-
sene oil should be poured into rain
barrels In regard to the malarial

up the streams and cleaning all

said that while the danger might not
be immediate, the time finally would
come when a sufficient number of
people from malarial districts set
tied in the town, who would bring
the germs of the disease with them

mutual cooperation the situation can
be controlled and the danger removed,
