SPEAKERSHIP CLAIMS

Richmond, Va, Oct. Rivalry
for the Speahership of the next
House of Delegates is becoming
acute. Claims made by the candi-
dates and their friends for the hon
or are varying. The claim is made
ON behalf of X. N. Gilpin of Front
Royal that he will have more than
SO votes in the caucus; Colonel
Brewer, the other aspirant, says he
is positive that he will have more
than IS when the roll is called in
the caucus. That accounts for a
membership of 115 in the House of
Delegates, and the law only allows
an even 100, and from this Repub-
LEANS have to be- deducted.
In this connection it is generally
conceded that the minority party
in Virginia will have more mem
bers in the lower branch the COM
ing session than for years. Defeat
OF men who have been prominent

A DIRECT HIT FOR THE CAMP
GROUND.

Wednesday an auto tourist rolled
into Ashland's free auto camp
ground for the night. The accom-
modations were so perfect and the
environment so charming that he
concluded to stay a few days and
look over the city. He was travel
ing with the view of finding a new
location. Thursday he purchased
q home at a cost of around four
thousand dollars, all cash deal,
and is now one Of Ashland's citi-
zens. His name is w. A. Black,
OF Spokane. Wash, and he pur-
chased the Martin brothers brick
home on the Boulevard. Ashland's
investment in the free auto camp
ground will prove of more value
than the cost Of the entire springs
enterprise. It has already brought
more money to Ashland than the
whole project cost. In five years
the net profit will be as much.

Renewed Efforts
Must Be Put Forth In
Women's War Stamp Drive.

Word has been received by Mar
garet E. Caldwell chairman of the
Women's division of the War Savings
Stamp organization for this county
that renewed efforts must be put forth
in the women's War Stamp drive.
State Savings Director Wolfe has just
been notified by Secretary of Treasury
Glass that the nation now depends up
on War Savings Stamps for funds
with which to meet its obligations.
In turn he has wired War Savings
Stamp leaders in this county that
Ohio's quote must be promptly met
and that this county must do her pro-
portiopate share.
The government needs something
like five billions Of dollars and has no
other means of raising this amount
except through War Savings Stamps.
Director Wolfe has declared that the
sale of War Savings Stamps thls
year is even more necessary and i'm
portant than it was during the war.
Reports reaching Dorothy Mae
Burrell, state director of the womens
division indicate that women work
ers over the state are making an ex-
cellent record in the sale of War
Stamps

There are others, who, like the bour-

"Men and women have given their

the period of all time, in making sac

the war was Won They sacrificed
themselves by giving their blood, and
now they are determined that tyranny
