500 PEOPLE PRESENT At
GOOD ROADS MEETING

Harrison Sept. 1.-THE biggest
thing in the line of farmers and good
roads meetings in Rockingham coun-
~ for many year was pulled off
on The Broadway Brooks Gap road in
Plains District yesterday. There were
people there from neighboring coun-
ties and some from West Virginia.
The crowd was estimated at 500 peo-
pie. The men came to work and the
ladies to furnish the dinner. Every
one was in good spirits and enjoyed
themselves. In addition nearly every
candidate for Office in the county was
present.
One person when seeing the long
line of men swinging the picks and
shovels said it looked like an army of
men at work. 1t did ones eyes good
to look at the dirt fly when every
shovelful meant just so much towards
would fall short of describing the
spirit of enthusiasm everyone seemed
to have and the work which was done
means a long step taken towards the
completion of the road.
The people of Plains are very
grateful to the Singers Glen Band
for the excellent music rendered,
After dinner speeches were made
on good roads and farming by W. c.
IloONcE, VI. L. Appleton, a M
Turner W. S. Campbell, &. A. War
riner, of Shenandoah: r. G. Thomas.
J. A. CARRIER and Col. Thacker.
1t was first intended that only a
half days work be done on the road
but the enthusiasm was so high that
the men decided they preferred put
ting in the last half OF the day also
building roads.
Experienced grade feremen were on
hand with C. r. Flwley as walking
boss The work was staked out so
that there was no confusion as to
What should be done. Additional tools
We're on hand should an unexpected
number OF good roads enthusiasts
turn up, which they did--the forces
were placed where the most could be
done with the equipment on hand in
feet everything bore the ear-marks of
organization and careful planning and
the ladies and mems committees
which handled the situatasa showld>be
congratulated upon their successful
efforts,

FRENCH GIRLS PLAY
FOX AND HOUND

French village streets are admirably
adapted to the American game of fox
and hounds, according to Miss Vera
B. Haines, of Lake Bluff, Ill.
Miss Haines is in charge OF sum :
mer camp which the Y. w. c. A. has
opened for industrial girls at Quib-
eron. France.
The camp is similar to those which
the association has established In this
country for girls who want an out-of-
door vacation with plenty of sports
and good times. but who cannot afford
to pay much for it, 1t is only one OF
three established in France by the
American r. w. e. A.
Swimming is taught every afternoon
for those who wish to learn it at
Quiberon, but the weather is almost
too cool to make this sport popular,
Miss Haines writes. The girls are
anxious to learn American games, 50
they have been playing fox and
hounds through the streets of the viii
lage In the afternoons and becoming
acquainted with bacon bats" on the
beach and long hikes. Bonfires are
next to impossible in arranging be-
cause of the scarcity OF all the essen
tials--wood, wiencrwursts and marsh
mallows.
