FACTORY WOULD
LOCATE HERE, BUT

Out of the recent visit to- the Valley
of Virginia Of the New England Manu-
facturers and Merchants Association
have come inquiries relative TO the es-
Establishment of textile industries in this
territory.
One such inquiry has come to the
Woodstock Chamber of Commerce ask
ing what advantages the town can Of
fer for one of these industries The
primary requisite, so the inquiry indi-
Gates, is an adequate supply of water.
Naturally, there is only one answer-we
lack that supply.
Eventually the citizens of Woodstock
mnst awaken to the fact that the in
dustrial future of the town is essen
TALLY tied up with water supply suf-
ficient to care for such industries as
may seek location in this area, and
now, as never before, the opportunity
to secure such plants is presented to
the towns in the Shenandoah Valley.
1t is a serious problem, from an
economic viewpoint, which the tax
payers of the town must soon solve.
and we will progress or retrogress just
in proportion as to how it is solved.
Woodstock will grow and grow only
If the citizens cooperate in securing
those things which obtain for growth,
and the procrastinarion in providing
me essential necessary for the towns
growth means that there can be no
hope of securing the industries which
are now seeking locations in the Shen-
andoah Valley.
Nothing should appeal more irresist-
ably to the common sense and good
judgment of Woodstock citizens than
the necessity for ample water to
meet whatever situation may arise.
Even the selfish interests of the indi-
vidual should prompt hearty support
of any movement for plenty of water,
for the establishment of industries in
the town will mean such an enhance
ment OF property values that the little
additional tax would be negligible when
compared to the benefits accruing
Certainly the unselfish citizen will
intellectually favor water expansion.
It is time for an awakening and there
should be constructive and rational
consideration of the problem by every
citizen who has at heart the future
prosperity of the town.

SUPERVISORS RESIGNATION

The action of the Board of Super
visors of Shenandoah County, at its
meeting on Monday, in passing reso-
luton calling for the resignation of
Joseph F. Wisman, member of the
Board from Madison district, created
considerable CONSERVATION throughout
the County. True the resolution, was
after its passage reconsidered and
tabled for further action of the Board
yet the proceedings remain part of
the permanent record of the action of
the Supervisors.
AS preamble to the resolution call
ing for the resignation of the veteran
member it was recited that he stood
convicted in the Circuit Court of Shen-
andoah County for misdemeanor, the
conviction growing out of attempting
to influence grand jury's action in a
matter in which he was involved, by
soliciting several citizens to talk to the
jury IN his behalf.
In point of service Mr. WiSman is
the oldest member of the Board and
has been the successful aspirant for
Board membership in several memoir
able and holly contested fights in his
district. By many he has been called
the watch dog of the Treasury" and
during his service he has been the
storm center of many meetings of the
Board.
1t has been stated by friends of the
that even though the reso-
luton asking for his resignation is
finally passed that he will not resign.
The Board al. Mondays meeting paid
such sheep claims as had been filed
during the past year, these claims
to nearly $1,000 The dam
ages for sheep killed are paid out of the
dog fund, which amounts 10 $1,000.
Claims for hawks and crows killed
during the current year, approximate
Nv $500 were also allowed.

JAMES DWIGHT HISEY A SUICIDE

| Woodstock was shocked early thi
morning when il was learned tina
I j. Dwight Hisey, bookeeper for the
Chaplin Sacks Corporation had com.
mitted suicide by hanging. The first
news OF the death was that he had died
from heart allure while in the chicken
yard. Subsequently it was learned
that he had hanged himself in the
chicken house at his home on Massanut-
ten heights.
The underlying motive for the tragic
death is matter of conjecture, and
the cause of the suicide is attributed
to ill health and overwork. An audit
of his books, SO it is stated, indicates
that there was nothing connected with
his position to prompt the rash act.
The evening before his rash act
he was at his lodge meeting and there
was nothing in his actions to indicate a
purpose to take his life.
Deceased was born in Edinburg
July Is, 1886, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
A. Hisey. After business course at
Dunsmore College he came to Wood
stock in 1908 and was employed by T.
G. Locke and Schmitts Drug Store be-
fore accepting responsible position
with Chaplin Sacks.
He married Miss Laura Belle Snapp
and surviving are his widow and two
daughters, Margaret and Catherine
He is also survived by three brothers,
Elmer E. Hisey of Woodstock and
Frank and George of Washington.
Burial services will be conducted by
the Masonic order, in which he was an
active member On Sunday afternoon.

filks Valley Pike rs Winter
metor Trail TO The South


Haperstown and Martinsbufa Q
Harpers Ferry 10 Bristol will be recon
mended as the all-winter motor route
through Virginia to Southern pounS
tourists by the Western North Carolina
Motor Club of Asheville, Pat Richards,
an official of the North Carolina or
! eanization, announced last Friday night
upon his arrival in Harrisonburg.
Mr.. Richards has completed an in
spection of the highways through sir-
ginia. He decided last night the Shen-
andoah Valley route is complete OIL
bound hard surface highway from
Hagerstown to Bristol with the excep-
ton Of four miles at Buchanan and 10
miles between Christiansburg and
Radford. These two gaps, he added,
ere good dirt roads which are capable
of carrying traffic in wet weather.
sc MILES SHORTER.
Mr.. Richards also announced the
Shenandoah route is so miles shorter
than the coast route through Alexan-
dria. Richmond and other North Caro-
lima points.
The Western North Carolina Motor
Club has mapped a tourist highway
from the North and West to Florida
via Asheville. Approximately slO0,0o
has been raised to advertise the route.
The route from the North and East
first enters the Shenandoah Valley
at Martinsburg and HarpeIs Ferry,
moves to Bristol, to Johnson City,
Tenn, switches TO Asheville, and from
Asheville the route takes course al
most due South via Greenville, S. c.,
and Athens, Ga, to Lake City, Fla,
the junction point of the Florida high
way to the East and West coasts.
300 CARS DAY.
eve estimate that at least 300 tourist
automobiles day will pass down this
route from the East and North to the
South" said Mr.. Richards. 1--WE are
now checking on the tourist cars at the
junction Of the highway in Tennessee
and today an average of 80 cars are
entering the Asheville area from the
shenandoah Valley trail against about
40 on the other routes.
The Shenandoah Valley trail has
been found to be the best connecting
link of the East and the North
Carolina road system entering Ashe-
vile. 1t is practically hard surface
wet weather road. 1t has only two
gaps of dirt roads, and these are found
to be in trayelable condition in wet
weather.
western North Carolina will spend
a big batch of money advertising this
route to the auto tourists. This ad-
vertising will be inserted in the daily
newspapers and in tourist magazines. "
THINKS WE WILL GET PARK.
Mr.. Richards stated that the i'm
preston prevails in Asheville that
North Virginia will get the National
Park.
1--WE have larger mountains in North
Carolina and Tennessee" he said,
''but the Blue Ridge area has the COM
bination of beautiful mountain scenery,
Valley scenery and accessibility to the
great populous centers."

Tnpentor Unknown

The history of the monkey-wrench
is obscure. Even the origin of the
term monkey" in the name is I'M
known. 1t is commonly believed, how
ever, that a London blacksmith
named Moncke pronounced Mum
key made some of the first wrenches
with movable jaws adjustable by a
screw. Such wrenches were called
Moncke wrenches. Owing to ignorance
OF the origin and spelling Of the name
Ii was easily corrupted into monkey.
But this story is not supported by
any definite information. The United
States patent office says 1t can find no
record of patent having been grant
ed by the British government to
Moncke for such wrench. Path

Executed the Fnformers

Highwaymen and their depredations
were the cause of much trouble and
anxiety during the early part of the
last century in the region of northern
Mississippi. A reward of $500 for the
npfage of their leader was offered.
.'wo IT the band turned traitors and
slew their chief to obtain the money.
They concluded to take the robbers
head. for identification. to the town OF
Natchez. The authorities paid ovet
the reward, and then arrested, tried
ana executed the bandits. AS no heirs
appeared to claim their estate-con-
sisting OF the aforesaid S500-the
money duly reverted to the treasury Of
