posed upon them.
Why my commission or group OF

such a tax on small firms is hard
to understand. There can be deliber

manufacture of soft drinks local

cause for such drastic action-ignor-

HEARS CT WORK DONE
Baptists Hold Meeting At
Front Royal.

The Woman3 Missionary Union
OF the Shenandoah Association,
comprising Baptist churches extend
ing from Luray to Martins5urg, met
in Front Royal on Tuesday
There was a fine representation
from the different organizations.
Especially noticeable was the large
number of young people coming &c
bring reports of their work, and to
take their part in the program In
decd, this feature of the work IS
growing so in interest that it was
thought best to appoint a leader Of
young peoples work to relieve the
superintendent Mrs. Blanche Petty,
of Boyce, of this part of her work.
Mrs. Petty, after fifteen years OF
faithful service, resigned her posi-
ton, but was unanimously and earn
estly urged to continue as the lead
CT. She accepted it with the un-
derstanding that her work be light
ened.
The young peoples leader for the
state, Miss Harris, Of Richmond,
Was present, and by her clear pre-
sentation of different phases Of the
work, not only added greatly to iGe
interest of the meeting, but brought
clearly before all their part in the
great forward movement being 30
successfully pushed through the aid
of the 75-million campaign.
There were a number of splendid
talks and papers on Mission Study"
Prayer In Our Work." Steward
ship" Winning Souls and the su-
rerintendent's inspiring message Oh
Joy In Service"
After the splendid luncheon SsrV-
ed by the ladies of the church, the
young folk woke up those who were
missing their afternoon nap. Tie
beautiful scarf drill and song by
the Front Royal Sunbeams, tie
songs and recitations of the Luray
and Boyce Sunbeams and the very
natural and original little playlet
given by three Berryville boys, We're
received with applause. These last
made a very effective plea for more
interest in the boys organization Of
Royal Ambassadors. Altogether, it
could truly be reported a splendid
meeting. showing wonderful advance

To the Editor of the Journal:

Are you a mouse trap builder?
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said
If you can make a better mouse
trap than anybody else, the world
will beat q path to your door, even
if you live in the wilderness.
Those are not, Of course, his exact
words, though they contain his
meaning. He was not particularly
interested in mouse traps, but he
tried to make clear his idea that no
matter what man does, if he does
it in a way to excite the admiration
or win the approval of people gem
orally, success will be his.
We feel the City Council has
achieved great success in imposing
the recent taxes and assessments on,
a few small business enterprises,
but have won anything else but ap-
prevail from the people in general
We appreciate the fact that with
the extensive improvements taking
place in Martinsburg today it re-
quires money and lots of it, but we
believe whatever deficit, necessary
to take care of this annual expenses,
remains should be levied, so that
this extra burden would be distri-
buted equitahly and justly, We
wonder IL the council knows

with deaf nutes. the Rey. ]. +.
Parks not being familiar with those
signs, but the couple thoroughly un-
derstood the questions of the rector
by the movement of his lips, and
they were able to answer likewise,
the answers being understood by the
minister.
1t was learned that the couple
had much difficulty in securing a
marriage license. the local magis-
trates to whom they appealed being
uncertain whether they could legally
issue the license. The couple was
advised by the magistrates to apply
10 the clerk of the peace for the
license. which they did.
The latter also questioned his
power to issue the necessary paper
so he consulted the attorney gen
erals office, which informed him
that he could legally issue the IL
cense.
Mr.. Parks consulted Bishop
Cook in the matter, the latter ad-
vising him to perform the marriage
