THE MEANING OF NAVYDAY

The folling excellent article on Navy
Day" written by Ensign Douglas Penn
Stickley U. S. N. will be read with
great interest not only because of the
importance of the subject but because
Ensign Sticklev is a Woodstock boy,
with hosts of friends and many rela-
tives in the Valley. He is son OF
Mrs. Mary B. C. Stickley and the late
Col. E. E. Stickley and after graduating
at the Woodstock High School in 1917
entered the U. S Naval Academy in
1918 graduating in 1922. Ensign Stick
ley is now stationed at Newport, R. l.,
and will be surprised to note that his
home town will join with other towns
and cities of Shenandoah Valley in a
great welcome to the shenandoah on
her flight over the Valley on Saturday
Oct. 9th.
Saturday, October 81, has been de-
signated Navy Day" by President
Coolidge. On that day the uses, the
aims. and the works Eof the navy will
be brought to public attention. This
will be accomplished in various ways:
vessels will be sent to all posts on both
coasts aud along all navigable rivers;
all navy yards and vessels will be open
to visitors; and drills and exhibitions

Worlds Timber Resources
Being Steady Exhausted

The United States can not de-
pend upon the forests of other
countries to augment its own
timber supply. according to the
data presented in Forest Re-
sources Of the world, a new
book written by forest econom-
ist of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. This COM
prehensive study of world timber
conditions shows that the world S
requirements of sawtimber will
double within the next fifty
years if the rate of increase dur
ing the past few years is main
tanned. Moreover, as the rate of
timber growth is equal to only
two thirds of the amount of
wood consumed, the total supply
is continually shrinking.y
THE most pressing forest
problem from world stand
poiat is the necessity of provid
ing adequate future supplies o.
of soft-wood timber" states TIL,
book, "This can be done b,
using all of the continuous pro
duction of timber crops. A
present only 10 to Is per cent o
the worlds timberland is 81
handled. the rest being regarded
as mine valuable only for til
timber now standing on It,"
This new book which is nov
published by the Government
confirms the earlier statement
of the Department of Agricul
ture, that this country can no
depend upon imports of the greaI
J all-purpose soft woods when it
own supply is gone.

The Shenandoah.
Worlds Greatest Airship to Pass Over
Shenandoah Valley
Saturday, October 9th
NAVY DAY.

of all sorts will be held.
People of the inland districts, such
as the Shenandoah Valley, will not,
unfortun ately have as good opportun-
tiles for sharing the Navy Day demon
STATIONS as those of us who live along
the sea coast. Nevertheless, it is per-
fectly feasible for every person in our
land to have a clear understanding of
the advantages, work and needs of
our Navy,
First of all, the navy offers to every
young man unexampled opportunities
to view the world, to learn about for
eign countries at first hand and to
broaden his mental outlook CORES
I pondingly
Secondly, a young man has the
unique advantage of learning trade
and being paid while he is learning.
The navy has established schools in
which everything from baking to en-
cheering may be studied, as well as
numerous schools where enlisted men
have the opportunity of fitting them
selves to enter the Naval Academy at
Annapolis and become commissioned
officers.
These are the principal points of in
dividual appeal. The service of the
navv to our nation as a whole is as in
estimable as it is tremendous. First of
all as means of defense, as much
against war as against attack. The
Disarmament Confer ence, though assist
ing the navy in its ultimate aim TO pre-
vent war, has brought about a diff
ficult situation by reducing the size of
our Fleet, that is, the fleet must be
kept at maximum efficiency with 3
minimum of size. This task will be
easy of accomplishment when the peo-
pie of America understand and realize
the Importance of navy to our best
interests.
Some people have the badly mis-
taken impression that the navy and
army want war. The best answer to
this was given by navy chaplain a
short time ago. He said, "a good
fireman does not 60 around kindling
fires" The prevention of war is the
as k to which the navy has set itself. |
1t is to that end that American
ships cruise to foreign ports to foster |
kindlier relatations between this and
other countries, to establish as well as
to protect our interests in other lands. |
We can all help the navy in this task
by making the effort to establish
friendly world relations unanimous
one, by giving the navy our support |
and our interest, and by communicate
ing our enthusiasm to the men already |
in the service SO we may all work |
together toward the great goal OF |
civilization universal understanding. |

Apple POmaCe Makes GOOD Feed

Thousands of tons of apple
pomace are going to waste annu.
ally which might profitably be
turned into food for wintering
cattle, says the United States
Department OF Agriculture.
Studies to determine the food
value and best methods of utiliz.
ing this by-product from COM
mercial cider and vinegar mills
have been made by the depart
ment. When the moist apple
pomace can be used fresh or en-
SLED it yields a succuleut cattle
food comparable with corn silage.
The quantity that can be used III
this way is limited, however. be-
cause of the relatively high cost
of transportation for material
having such high water con-
tent. It's most profitable utillz-
alton depends upon its pre-
servation by dehydration and
producing it is a commercial
food. In feeding trials with
dairy cows dried-apple pomace

to be equal pound for
pound of dry matter to good corn
silage. The material was fed

The Shenandoah" the worlds
greatest airship will pass over the Val
ley Saturday Oct 81, and it is thought
will pass over She nandoah County
about noon. Mr.. w. M. Calvert, Sec
rotary of the Woodstock Chamber OF
Commerce, has been in correspon-
dence with MIR. Andrew Bell, lSecre-
tary of the Winchester Chamber of
Commerce, and arrangements have
been made to wire Mr.. Calvert from
Winchester when the Shenan doah
passes that city.
The Woodstock fire bells and
church bells will then ring and along
with flags will welcome the Shenan-
doah to this section Of the Valley.
Cities and towns along the Valley will
all join in welcoming the great airship
and in observing Navy Day, the birth
day of Theodore Roosevelt.
TO PASS OVER WOODSTOCK ABOUT NOON
Press dispatches from Washington
state that it is the intention of the
Navy Department TO launch the south
ern flight alb out O'Clock next Satur-
day morning, and to sail the ship
leisurely south by way Of York and
Lancaster, Pa, Hagerstown, Md,
and then TO Winchester,
Woodstock, Harrisonburg,
Staunton and Lexington in the Shen-
doah Valley, passing over Woodstock
between ~ and 1 O'Clock.
The ship then will 60 on TO Lynch
burg, Richmond, Fredericksburg,
Baltimore, and thence
back to its "home port" at Lakehurst,
N j. The passage over Fredericks-
burg, Washington and Baltimore will
be at night.
The primary purpose of the flight is
to give the people of the Shenandoah
Valley a chance to see the craft.
The question of the weather is the
only one yet TO be answered, the de-
1artment officials state.

trains is considered and there is borne in mind the slight defect in rail, cross-tie, signal and mechanical equipment that may cause wreck, and when it is also realized that this safety showing is the result of one hundred per cent alertness and precision in the dispatchers' offices and in the carrying out of train orders by conductors and en- g.neers, the record is still more remarkable. There is no service where precision, both mental and mechanical, is more continuously necessary than in railroad passenger trans rortation. It has grsatiy improved in the past decade. Indeed, travel is as safe as remaining at home accident insurance com panles reporting far mo1e fatalities among those who do not trave, than among those who do. The great transportation systems cr the country are closely interwo7ea with the lives of the people. It is connection that ought always to De d harmonious one. l. trends that way under the apparent de- sire of the railroads for better understand ing which they are seeking to bring about through improved service and more frequent statement to the pubic of their policies and their efforts to please.

MORE BOYS IN THE SCHOOLS

All over Alabama the percentage of boys in higher classes of the public schools IS greater than it has ever been. The seventh grade male attendance in thirteen Birming ham grammar schools shows an increase this year of from five to twenty-nine per cent. since 1912. Reports from the state high schools are of the same nature. No doubt part of this increased male attendance comes from greater appreciation by parents of the value of education. The increase is also due to more prosperous conditions. The easier the family finances the more naturally it turns to education; the more cramped financial conditions the sooner the boys, and even the young women, are showed out of the family nest to shift for themselves or help support the family. Then there is the higher standard of living. That never goes backward. The outlook of the average family is brighter and more ambitious than it was It sets higher mark for the boys and the girls and that higher mark is not to be attained without equipment There $ more pride and there is less content with the things that once sufficed. The larger male attendance in the seventh grade of the grammar schools is testimony to the Ameri- can family's self-respect.

EXPANDING NATURES GIFTS

The Tennessee Valley communities have 2 commendable custom of acting in unison in matters of the general welfare of that fer tile and prosperous section. A sense of the benefit of cooperative action is evidenced in the manner in which they have lined up for Muscle Shoals and for valley sanitation. At an early date the health officers of the valley are to meet at Huntsville for the pur- pose of formulating an anti-malaria cam paign with a view to wiping out the malarial mosquito. They are encouraged to believe in complete job in the light of the excel lent results of the work that has been done in the past two years. Many swamps have been drained and ditches dug. There is no district in the United States where greater opportunity is offered for its inhabitants to make it ideal from every living standpoint. The soil is rich, the climate is inviting, and the topography of the land renders practi- cally all of it good for farming purposes. If to these other conditions the valley adds that of absolute emancipation from malaria it will be one of the ideal spots of the South.
