VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN ON
Lcedy And Harrison Plan Real Fight
After Convention

Winchester. Va, June 21.-Six
weeks of intensive campaigning have
been begun by Representative 7, W.
Harrison, of Winchester, and Col.
Robert F. Leedy, of Luray, for the
Democratic nomination for Congress
from the Seventh Virginia district. 1t
is expected that the campaign will be
prosecuted with the utmost vigor i'm
mediately following the San Fran
cisco convention. The announcement
from Washington last evening that
the most important planks of the
Virginia platform will probably be in
corporated in the national platform,
was greeted with satisfaction by Har-
n;son men.
After the national convention de-
clares the issues. it is the expectation
that lines will be sharply drawn in
TIE Harrison-Lcedy contest. Just now
tie candidates are sparring for posi-
tons. Few personalities thus far have
been engaged in. Colonel Leedy. how
ever, in speech at Gore, this county,
a few nights ago. asserted that he
was running for Congress without
the consent Of the Byrds and buzz

was Judge Harrison's catechism."

AMpHIDiANS IN THE MARKET
Frogs Among the Offerings in the
City Market

The prevailing high prices of tooG
essentials have resulted in the APP
pcarance of live frogs in the city
market. A fish dealer had a large
display in his window few days
ago.
These Inhabitants of the marshes
adjacent to the city have taken their
place with terrapin, and housckccpers
are afforded an opportunity OF indulg-
inc in them as have the French these
many years.
Frogs have ever been regarded here
abouts as edible, although their con-
sumption heretofore has been con-
fined to boys, who have caught them
but have been generally compelled to
cock them themselves, as their ell
ders have been prone to reject the
creatures placed upon the table.
Ii should be unnecessary to say that
when frogs are in good condition.
broiled and properly dressed they al
ford food fit for the gods. They arc
more delicate than chicken. and an
artistic cook can prepare them in a
manner to make them appeal to the
,connoisseur.
Frog hunting has been seldom IN
dulgcd in, as stated above. save by
boys. but low that they have ap'
peared in market there is reason tc
believe certain parties vii! make
