Virginia ExCeIs All States

When we read of the hard
struggles the farmers OF the
N ,rthwest are passing througbs
we should feel truly glad at
heart that our lot has been cast
in good old Virginia. The press
relates the terrible experiences
and heart-rending results OF
which mafiv farmers in the
Northwest are the victims. Thou
sands Of bankruptcies and humid
reds CT suicides have occurred on
account of low farm crop prices.
highstaxes and living expenses.
After enduring the risors of a
hard climate and the weary tolls
of years they have lost all. 1t is
hafd to realize the mental agony
these farmers have experienced.
Many have left their homes to
go they know not where. If the
pres sent low price of farm crops
and livestock continue, these
disastrous and appalling con-
ditions will spread over other and
more favored section of the
country.
La Virginia the first farm crops
were grown on American soil. She
was also the founder of education,
culture and hospitality, and now,
after the laps of three centuries
she is still abreast in agriculture,
industry, culture, hospitality aud
good living. And Virginia is,
after all, the most beautiful
country. The plowman never
turned a kinder soil, She grows
the greatest variety of crops. Size
is accessible to the great Eastern
markets. She has the most salu-
brious climate, and the stranger
never shook the hand of a more
hospitable people. And when
low prices are driving even our
Virginia people from the farm,
we can understand better what
must be the plight Of those who
live in much less advantageous
conditions and surroundings.
The slogan for the Virginia
farmer should be "close co-opera-
tlon," thereby building up a more
prosperous State to live in
Southern Progress.

Towns Gets Bus Franchise
For The Valley Pike

A general clearing up of the bus line
muddle on the Valley Pike between
Staunton and Winchester during the
past few years will result from the
order of the State Corporation Com
mission reducing the number of opera
tors. Two of the lines will be elimi-
mated by the refusal of the commission
to grant them certificates, while but
one full service franchise was granted.
The other two lines were granted
licenses for partial service.
The j. A. Towns Bus Line of Har-
risonburg, the first in the field, was
granted the full service certificate OF
public convenience and necessity, re-
REQUIRING that line to maintain sched-
ules and equipment under orders OF
| the commission.

run only one car between Harrison
burg and Staunton, while the same
restriction was placed upon the j. L

of the General Assembly which placed

the commission was whether these
Operations were actually in good faith
by reason of which certificates woult
be granted as matter of right unde
the law.
The commission ruled that Bowman
and Sheetz were operating only ont
car in good faith on February 2S ant
that the lines of Gruber and Carol
and Echard were not operating at al
| in good faith.
The contest was extremely warm
the commission being deluged witt
affidavits, letters, kilograms and pc
titions, since the hearing got undel
way on June q, for and against the
various parties. In addition residents
from all sections of the Valley appear
ed in behalf of one or another OF the
lines.
In entering the final order regu
