tourists who visit it annually have TO
pay a fee to be admitted to the little
inclosure around the old church,
which is kept up by the Association
for the Preservation Of Virginia An
tiquities, and also have to pay a
Mharfase TAX TO land at the dock on
Some thirty years ago. the present
owner of the island gave to the asso-
citation twenty acres containing the

proper that private individual

of dollars in the past few years to

pies which had their birth at James

FOOD is PROBLEM.

Notwithstanding increased strength
given to the revolutionary forces in
Russia by deserters from the boil
shevik army, the food conditions in
Kfonstadt and Petrograd make the
odtcome problematical, according to
advices today to the State Depart
Inent. The revolutionary force in
Kfonstadt has been increased. accord
ing to the governments reports. by
1900 bolshevik deserters. The de-
tenders insist that all attacks have
been repelled and profess their belief
that the fortress cannot be taken by
force. The casualty list of the de-
tenders has been placed at less than
twenty.
The stock of munitions in Kron-
stadt is said to be adequate for long
siege. but their leaders are reported
TO be apprehensive regarding their
food supply. Equal concern appears
to. be manifested regarding the food
situation in Petrograd. The situation
in, Petrograd appears to have become
worse since the soviet leaders yielded
to- the demands of the bolshevik
troops for increased rations.

JOB OF TEACHER

The annual outpouring Of graduates
from the high schools and colleges
all over the country has begun. AL
ready these young people are turn
ing to business pursuits As always,
the nation needs teachers, and as al
ways, not enough well-educated young
people are taking up teaching to sup
ply the demand. This is true in Es-
Gambia and other counties in Flo
rida.
Ii is true that increased salaries
in some localities, along with gen
eral shortage of highly paid indus
trial openings, have resulted in a
sort of half-hearted trend toward
teaching, but far greater increase
is needed.
Any community which lacks tech
ers should search its annals to dis
cover why the young people whom it
has educated are not becoming edu-
Gators, and if lack is discovered in
the towns civic or educational poll
cies, it should be remedied before the
drift away from the schools has gone
too far.
AS for the young people, they are
old enough, and wise enough, to see
for themselves what is happening to
many of the more gllded positions,
and to regard with new eyes the an
gent an h,norable profession of tech
ing. If it seldom permits acute hard
ships and never starvation, but rath-
err provides a comfortable and honor
able medium, with many perquisites
