SCANDAL ST|Rs
ALEXANDRIA
SOCIETY :
Mrs. Ada G. Hubbard Rear.
don indicted on BIgamy and
Grand Larceny Charges.

Alexandria's elite were today
stirred from their Lenten lethargy
by what promises to be one Of the
most sensational court trials the
Virginia city has had in recent
years.
The indictment yesterday Of Mrs.
Ada G.. Hubbard Reardon, fashion
able leader in Alexandria society,
charging her with bigamy and
grand larceny has set the tongues
Of the upper crust" to wagging
with .unprecede activity.
The sensational situation is
charged TO q rift in the connuhial
bliss Of Mrs. Hubbard Reardon and
her former husband, Walton G.
Hubbard, of Fairfax county, whom
she sued for divorce, which was
granted in 1921.
The indictment alleges the social
leader married Reardon six days
after the divorce was granted, de-
spite the fact that the laws of
Virginia demand that both parties
In q divorce suit shall remain
single at least SIX months after the
divorce is obtained.
Mrs. Hubbard married Oliver
Ashby .Reardon, Alexandria bust
ness man and clubman, at Upper
Marlboro, Nd, September q. 1921.
This marriage was recently an.
nulled by the Alexandria corpora
ton court upon her application.
Shortly before the Reardon cou-
pie separated, it is said, Mrs. Hub
bard Reardon opened a gift shop in
Washington. but the business did
not succeed. She filed petition in
bankruptcy. Following this, it was
said, Reardon obtained an attach
ment on some Of his wife's personal
possessions.
The grand larceny charge. 1t Is
declared, arises from the allegation
that Mrs. Hubbard Reardon removed
some OF the goods from Alexandria
to Washington in violation Of the
law.
Mrs. Hubbard Reardon was at one
time president Of the League Of
Women Voters in Alexandria, and
was regarded as one Of the most
prominent persons in the society az
the little Virginia city.

TOWN PRIDE RETURNS

What we think of as normal times
may as yet be long way off, but
here and there straws !. point to an
early return of that town and COM
munity pride which gave SO much
promise before the war. Nine years
ago the sudden shift of interest -
the world war dealt severe blow to
that community spirit which reflects
itself in neat yards, clean streets,
sanitation and paint. Today you do
not have to travel far to note a
change for the better. In fact, you
can see it without going out of Be-
lington.
In many places contracts have been
let for long delayed improvements.
Most of the smaller communities in
particular seem to be brushing uc
shoes and shining buttons, so to
speak. Motorists notice the change
going on long our highways. Once
a main road of travel is improved
through a community a transforma-
ton takes place. The people of one
town awaken to the fact that they
are not as neat in appearance, to the
stranger on the road, as the rival
nearby town, Presently a proper
ty owner improves his place, out of
pride or business sagacity, and soon
the place becomes spotless.
According to architects, contrac-
tors and engineers scores of NUM-
cipalities are about to undertake
Improvements of public nature
The bulk of these are in the form of
street paving, waterworks, sewers
and small bridges. A number Of
progressive small towns are estab-
fishing Fairgrounds and parks where
the children can play and be safe
from accidents in the streets. They
are providing against the day when
ground will be higher in price and
when the people of the town will de-
nand a breathing place for theil
children. Yes, town pride is return.

that we keep up with the procession

HERE'S GOOD NEWS

Late crop reports reaching this
Office are to the effect that farmers
are planting for full production this
year Notwithstanding the shortage of
labor and the grumbling that was
heard in the late winter and early
spring. Cotton and tobacco acreage
is increased, and the corn area will
be above the average. There seems
to be slight falling off in the spring
wheat planting, and the oats will
probably be short because the late
season discouraged sowing. The hay
crop should be unusually large, and
at this time government reports are
to- the effect that the prospects for
fruit are good all over the country.
Some people have left the farms
within the last two years, but there
are still enough on the job to as
sure the nation sufficient harvest.
The prospects for fair prices are
better, taking farming as a whole
over the entire country, than they
have been for three years. All of
which should cheer every heart in
Belington since we know that if the
country as a whole is in good shape
we're going to be far from being bad
off around here.
