VETS WIN IN VIRGINIA.
Victory Said to Be a Severe Blow
to the Anti-Saloon League.

In the recent Democratic primar-
les in the second congressional dis
trict of Virginia, which includes
Norfolk, Joseph T. Deal who made
his campaign on an out-and-out plat
form was nominated for congress by
big majority over the candidate
who was backed by the Anti-Saloon
league. The victory of Mr.. Deal is
regarded as a severe blow to the
league, one of he worst it has ever
received.
The league waged relentless
fight on Mr.. Deal and several Of the
churches We're out to get his scalp.
Several preachers devoted their Sun
day sermons to him.
This was because Deal stood fiat
footed for beer and light wines and
opposed the Sterling-Towner bill
He was accused Of being "a lawless
person."
David Hepburn, president of the
Anti-Saloon League in Virginia, ac-
cused Mr.. Deal and former Cover
nor Davis of being responsible for
'lawless conditions" in the state.
The people were urged to subscribe
to a fund TO defeat Deal and Davis.
The fund was provided, according to
reports, but Deal was nominated.
That Davis was defeated was due to
entirely different causes. He was a
candidate for the United States Sen
ate against Senator Claude A. Swan
son. The Anti-Saloon League sup
ported Swanson, although Swanson
is not a dry, and opposed Davis, who
is a teetotaler. Swanson, in addition
to having the Anti-Saloon Leaguers
behind him, was also supported by the
Virginia Democratic machine, which
is the strongest organization of its
kind in existence.
TSwanson carried the district by 1O,-
900 plurality.
Although Deal is a Mason, circu-
lars were spread broadcast intimating
that he was opposing the Sterling
ToWner bill because the Catholic
church was opposed to it. Most citi-
zens looked upon the circulation of
the report as an attempt on the part
of certain church people and the Ku
Klux Klan sympathizers here to in
ject the religious issue into the cam
paign because 1t has proved a big
vote-getter in other sections of the
south.
1t failed here, however. At Ocean
View, where the Ku Klux Klan is said
to have 800 members, Deal was beat
en- by about sixty votes.

HOW STORMS BEGIN.
Damp Air is Forced Upward and
Falls When Chilled.

Charles +. Brooks. professor of me-
teorology Of Clark University, Wor-
cester, Mass, gives the following ex-
planation Of the cause and origin Of
local storms:
Local thunhrr%t orms tend to orig
mate most often where large vol
umes of moist air are readily warm
ed and forced upward, that is, over
broad eXpansr$ Of meadow land OF
river flats, over cities, hill and noun
tains.
within a homogeneous area, how
ever, the Wrtting of strips by local
showers temporarily makes the dry
strips the loci Of thunderstorm for
nation. At College Station, Tex.
during rainy week in The latter part
OF August, this phenomenon was
noted very clearly and local fore
casts Of thunderstorm rains were sue
cessfully based on the widths and
positions of strips wet by thunder
storms on the preceding day.
Daily rainfall statistics for sta
tlons within a homogeneous region
Tor a period Of local showers show
marked differences in totals for any
day. But he says, "lcss important
dliferencc& are noted for the period
taken as a WHOLE ANY area that es-
capes RAIN ON the first day or two
meats more readily thnn the surround
ing wet areaS, and So becomes the
center of greater expansion and in
How from the surroundings and in
consequence" is wet by the resulting
shower
"Or even if tn" shower produced

other fields 5rforr di$charging. any

strongly over the dry area and there

viously wet
"Beforp a locnl thunderstorm car
form, however, there must be large
. local upward streams of air, violent
convection ana abundant condensa
r e'on OF moisture. This makes the
lorecaslng Of storms a very compli
Gated matter.'

KU KLUX IN, POLITICS.
Klan Said to Be Laying Line to Take
Part in Election Next Year.

1t is said that the Louisiana mem
bers of the Ku Klux Klan are lay
ing plans to take part in the cam
paign for state, district and parochial
Offices next year. The Klan will not
nominate tickets it is said but will
endorse candidates, who are in sym
pathy with the purposes of the order,
giving particular attention to aspir-
ants for members of the Legislature,
district attorneys and sheriffs. The
strength of the klan is said to be
mainly in the northern, central and
western portions of the state. It's
total membership in the state is said
to be about 100000 There is a di-
vision of opinion among opponents
of the order regarding the policy to
be pursued.
One group is opposed to talking
about or publishing anything about
the khan on the ground that they
think publicity advertises them and
increases the membership of the
klan. This group contends that the
published exposures in the fall of
1921 had the effect of advertising
the klan and its increasing it's mem
bership. They take the view that, If
the klan were unnoticed by the pub
lie and the newspapers, the member
SHY would dWindle and it would
soon pass out of existence.
The other group are of the opinion
that full and complete publicity is
necessary to defeat the political pur-
poses of the khan. This group holds
that the best and surest way to defeat
the khan is to fight it in the open and
to attack it and expore it at every
opportunity. Unless this is done,
those of this group assert, the khan,
with its membership of 10000 in the
state, will hold the balance of power
and control the primary elections
next year.
This group of khan opponents
point to the result of the city cleo
tion at Baton Rouge July 4, to sus-
tain their view of fighting in the
open and in favor of full publicity.
The khan was the dominating issue
in the Baton Rouge election and the
opponentst of the khan won. This
group is of the opinion that an open
fight and plenty of publicity is essen
tial in statewide campaign.

BLUE LAWS IN OHIO CITY.
Their Enforcement Makes Place tn
"Deadest" i'm the United States.

A news item from Piqua, Ohio, de.
|scribes the ridiculous situation
which the enforcement of the Ohio
blue laws has created in that city,
as follows:

"The general slogan seemed to be
and was often expressed, If l
can't go to the movies, | won't go
| to church.
"Thcre was only one arrest during
the day for a violation of the Ohio
common labor day under which the
puritanical sabbath gained effect, J.
B. Resse of Dayton, Ohio, a news
paper man, was the culprit
J "Reese walked up to the local po-
| lice station and began to interview
citizen on the situation. A squad
of police pounced on upon him.
"'What are you doing?' came the
gruf query from the dauntless blue
coats.
'Working,' reported the fearless
reporter, and the arrest was made.
"Reese was hurried to Jail where
he spent half hour before his re-
lease on bail. His case will come up
Monday.
"Some persons worked and got
away with it though by Mayor A.
w. Devices special permission. They
were movie men who took still
movies of the deadest spot.
"But though there weren't many
arrests Sunday, wait, is the advice
of those who know.
"Police made the rounds of every
church in the city this morning,
taking the names of every paid Or
ganist and choirister. The deep,
dark suspicion is that affidavits will
be filed against everyone of these
paid church workers.
"Mayor Deweese, was silent today.
He is waiting results from his cam
paign of giving 'em their fill of puri-
tan Sundays.
'"The mayor says if he cannot get
convictions for blue law violations
he will stop trying to enforce them
and will open up the town.

FOOD PRICES STILL HIGH.
Figures Show that They Cost a.
Percent More Than in 1913.

According to a report on the cost
of living made public recently by
the federal bureau of labor statis-
ties, food prices in the principal cities
of the United States decreased a per
cent between May Is, 1921, and
May Is, 1922. The combined cost
of various staple food articles for
Nav this year, as compared with
April this year, showed an increase
of two-tenths of l per cent. While
no reason was given in the report
for the increase, government au-
thorities think it due to the strike in
the coal industry.
Food costs May Is, 1922, were "A
per cent higher than May Is, 1913,
the report shows. If the rate of
decrease between May Is, 1921, and
Nav Is, 1922, was maintained, it
would require eleven years to restore
prewar prices.

A DREAM

walked into my office, my pocket book very lean;
] sat down in my easy chair, and soon was all in
l soon began snoozng: vision came to view,
And l an angel enter, dressed in white and hue.
Said the angel "Im from heaven, the Lord just
sent me down
To bring you up to glory, and put on your golden
crown.
night and day;
You worked for many a planter, and from lew re-
ceived your pay.
SO, we want you up in glory, for you have labored
hard,
And the good Lord is preparing your eternal, just
reward"
Then the angel took me by the hand, and started
But When passing close to Hades, the angel
INJURED "Wait,
I've got place to show you, it's the hottest place
in hell;
Where the ones who never paid you, IN tormehts
always dwell"
And behold, saw there my clients by the score;
And grabbing a chair and fan, wanted nothing
was bound to sit and watch them, as they slzzled
sighed and burned
Nv eyes would rest on debtors whichever way
turned
Said the angel: "Come doctor, there's the pearly
gates to see.''
Rnt onlv murmured: "This is heaven enough for
me-,
refused to go any further but preferred to sit and
gaze !,
At that crowd of rank old dead beats, as they lay
there in the blaze.

Approximately Sl5D, 900 worth OF
surplus war materials, turned over by
the War department to the Depart

through the bureau of public roads to
the various states for road-building
purposes up to November last.

FEED NECESSARY FOR
HENS DURING WINTER
Insects and Green Stuff Are
Plentiful in Summer.
Provision Must ee Made In Severe
Weather for Animal Food and
SuceuIence--essentisi for
Production Of Eggs.

prepared by the United States Department
Sf Agricuiture)
During the summer months the farm.
er's flock balances Its ration OF grain
aud seeds with bugs, worms, and green
stuff, and the farmer need not worry
about egg production II his fowls have
been well culled. But winter feeding re-
quires that provision be made to supply
the deficiency Of animal feed and succu-
lence. The absence OF these essentials to
good egg production Is responsible In
large degree for the falling of IN yield
during cold weather.
Animal food, or other feeds rich In
protein, may be easily supplied on
most farms, particularly where skim
milk or buttermIlk is available. The
| liking of hens for these dairy by-p,od-
ucts Is n good Indication Of the need
for what they contain. Meat scrap IS
another excellent protein feed that
has become standard In poultry ratlons.
Clover and alfalfa leaves provide q
| combination OF protein feed and green
stuff Often enough Of them may be
swept up from the barn floor where
the hay is handled. good way tn
prepare them for the flock is to pour
boiling water over them, cover tho
container and let them steam for
time. when they will be ready to feed
| alone or In a mash.
Sprouted oats has become one of the
best-known providers of succulence in
winter. Plans for making sprouters may
be obtained from the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. Mangels and
cabbage, as well as many other vegeta-
bles, are appreciated by the hens.
In general. winter feeding is much the
same MS summer feeding. on the gov
ernment poultry farms the same rations
are used in summer and winter. OF
course, In summer II Is unnecessary to
feed succulent feed when the birds
have range and are able to get plenty
of grass. alfalfa, or similar feed. The
farmers flock, however. Is an excep-
tion to this rule, as In many cases
there Is enough waste grain. seeds,
ETC.. In summer to supply much Of the
feed required.

Fairy Tale
WINTER BEAUTY
~WARY GRAHAM BONNER

II know that the spring is very
beautiful. know that the Summer
is very lovely. l know that the au-
tumn is very gorgeous. And I think"
Old Man Winter ended, that there Is
a great deal OF beauty about the win
ter"
II agree with you," said the Fairy
Queen, who had promised Old Man
Winter that she and some of the fal-
ries would take winter trip with him.
They had visited country places and
they had visited sea-shore places.
They had visited some wonderful
mountains and they had visited some
lovely valleys.
They had seen the work Sir Freeze
the-Ponds had done and also the work
of Mr.. Freezlng-is-Fun. They had
seen all kinds of wonderful winter
scenes In all kinds Of places.
But said old Man Winter, II have
yet one place to take you to before
your trip Is over"
eve have certainly had wonder
full trip the Fairy Queen said, "and
we will never forget 1t. We ore quite
delighted to visit one more place."
So Old Man Winter took the Fairy
Queen and the other fairies to a place
where there were as wonderful and
marvellous waterfalls to be seen as
anywhere Imaginable.
There the Fairy Queen and the fair
les went about with Old Man Winter,
and so that they wouldn't be seen,
they wore robes of spray
There were Ice mountains which
had been made out of spray, and be-
tween these mountains great water
falls rushed down without stopping.
All about were huge icicles, and al
night crescent moon came out and
the stars, too, and the water dashed
and foamed, and the lights from the
sky danced merrily as If to say how
pleased they were to look down on
so much beauty.
There were rainbows in front Of the
great waterfalls in the daytime, fol
the sun shone right through the spray
which came from the falls, and the
ice and the snow and the icicles ant
the branches Of Ice on the trees al
sparkled as though they were made
of dazzling, wonderful jc"els.
There were several great water.

hurrying rapids, rushing as though
they had to get somewhere on time
and as though they would be late 4
they didn't hurry like anything!
But sometimes they found the tim'

so. Some OF these rapids dashed oI
down over rocks, but some Of then
