OF cure is said to be by injection
OF the fluid into the optic nerve,

slight vision to benefit, as total
blindness cannot be cured by This
means. DR.. Pond intends to

It may be traced to the gunpow.

tar barrel was used in a bonfire
demonstration to celebrate the
defeat of the purpose of Guy
Fawkes and his fellow conspir-

Tribute To Virginia Journalism

In his admirable address before
the Virginia Press Association
James Wright Brown. editor of
the Editor and Publisher, OF
New York said:
Virginia newspaper publishers
have not passed ON their increas.
ed war costs to their advertisers
and their readers, but on the con.
tr1ry they have absorbed a very
large percentage of these costs
NV paying them out of their own
profits.
Virginia newspaper subscrip-
ton rates at retail by the carrier
by agents aud by mail, are too
low.
Frankly I'm convinced that
the Virginia Press Association
is composed of men who are more
interested in ideals and commun.
lily service than in money making
That may not speak so we'll for
the business Office of the Virgin
ia newspaper, but it is very
high tribute to its character aud
its devotion to the public interest.
lhe newspaper, we repeat, in
order to give permanent service
must be conducted in such man.
ner as to make it a profitable
institution. But we have said to
the Virginia Press Association,
and we take this occasion to re-
peat it III print, that if any news
paper publish erin Virginia is
running his paper merely as a
commercial enterprise for the
simple and sole purpose of max
ing money, we devoutly hope to
q God he will fail.
A newspaper has a much high
er mission than mouey-making,
1t is the servant Of the people,
the right arm of good govern
ment, of the church and of all
institutions and activities which
make for the uplift of the people
and the promotion of civic right
eousness. God save the Virgin
Ia press from the blight of sor-
did commercialism. - Newport

Do Not Enter Silo Until
The Blower Is Turned On

Turn the machine blower on
and leave it on for at least two
minutes before anyone is permit
ted to enter partly filled silo.
Unless this rule is followed, the
result is likely to be dead men,
says the United States Depart :
ment of Agriculture.
Annual fatalities occur among
the farmers and their helpers as
result Of the workmen entering
half-filled silos after the deadly
monoxide gases have had a
chance to accumulate directly a.
bove the freshly ensiled corn. A
few days ago two Illinois farmers
were killed and another was Ten
dered seriously sick by silo gases
which are almost as dangerous
as the poisonous mustard gases
used during the recent war. In
this instance, one of the farm
workmen entered so foot silo
VIII ich had been half filled the
previous day. Some time elapsed
and when he did not come out,
another of the hands ascended
into the silo. Neither reappear-
ed, though the other workers
shouted to them repeatedly, to
come down.
| Fearing an accident, the farm
owner finally climbed into the
silo. He also was Immediately
overcome by the poisonous fumes
and only the fact that others fol-
lowed him, forced open the extra
silo doors and carried him into
the open air saved his life. The
other two men were suffocated
Immediately.
Each year a number of accl-
dents of these kind occur due
largely to carelessness and igno-
trance of the proper methods Of
eradicating the dangerous gases.
The preventive measures are
simple and efficient, and where
they are followed, there is no
danger.
No workman should enter a
partly filled silo, after the ensil-
ed corn has had an opportunity
to develop poisonous carbon mon
|oxlde gases over night until the
N achine blower has been started.
The fresh air dilutes and scat
tiers the obnoxious gases to the
extent that they are rendered
harmless. After the blower has
been operated for two minutes,
1T is perfectly safe for the work
men to enter. Another precau-
ton which should be practiced
religiously is not to wedge the
silo doors into place until they
are needed to prevent the waste
lof the ensiled corn.
Many farmers follow the prac-
tice of placing most OF the doors
before any great amount of corn
is cut and deposited in the silo.
This prevents the free circula-
ton Of air through the silo,
which in turn, operates to favor
the accumulation of carbon mon
oxide and other deadly silo gases.

When And How To Register

The Attorney General, under
date of March ;, 1921, ruled that
the women of Virginia may re.
gister at any time from now, up
to and including October s, 1921
by paying the Treasurer $3.50
poll tax.
Registrars will register women
who apply to them at any time,
up to and including October s, on
which day Registrars will sit at
their voting places, to register
those applying to be registered.
This is generally known as Reg
istration Day, and is the last
day on which anyone can regis
ter to vote at the November cleo
ton.
METHOD OF REGISTERING
The method to be pursued by a
woman who desires to qualify
herself to vote at the November
election is to have the Commits
sloner of the Revenue assess her
for taxation, take his certificate
to the County or City Treasurer,
as the case may be, and pay him
Sl.5O poll tax for the year of 1921
then present the Treasurer 5
receipt for $3.50 poll tax to the
Registrar of her precinct and be
registered.
The women who voted last
year, or who have since then re-
Clustered, will not be required to
pay the poll lax in order to vote
at the Gubernatorial election in
November, they having already
paid the poll tax for the year
1921.
Register now! do not postpone
until the last day of Registra.
ton. Something unforeseen may
happen. Do not wait. Act a,
