Big Rush to RenetO
Legion Membership

Membership of the American Legion
shows great quickening of interest,
Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant OF
the organization has declared, after
reviewing the rapid renewal of mem
bership for 1924. Figures in the
hands of the officials of the organiza-
ton, indicate that renewals are 80 per
cent greater than in any previous year,
which fact is taken as a sign of
healthy condition.
Mr.. Bolles has said that such an
increase is due primarily to the OPP
position to the demands of eX-service
men for adjusted compensation, which,
he says, has only served to unity the
veterans that their request may be
needed. He says that charges to the
contrary are unfounded and only in
spired by designing persons who seek
to discredit the Legion because Of it's
program.
One indication of the increased in
terest, according to the Legion man,
Is the unusual sales made by the d.
vision which handles official jewelry
for the organization. In two weeks
prior to Christmas, the sales of this
division exceeded by more than three
times, those of the previous year. An
other sign taken by the national Off
Gals as a splendid forecast, is the
rapid filling of the give Hundred
Clubs" of posts which boast of more
than 1000 members. These clubs in
clude only the first five hundred men
to pay their dues, and without excep-
ton, all memberships were filed be-
fore January 1, 1924.

DREAM SAVES ARREST.

The vividness Of a dream saved .
citizen of Shenandoah county from Q
| fine and jail sentence recently. The
Icreditbility Of the s.ory is vouched fol
by men Of responsibility.
In that section Of Madison and Ash,
by districts where personal liberty
lis measured by the inclination to vic.
late the laws. lives man whose stock
of wet goods is larger than that allow.
ed by the prohibition statutes. Dur.
ing the recent raids by officers in this
county In which much contraband liz.
uor, and some stills were seized. this
man had at his house large tquantity
of illicit spirits.
One night he dreamed that he saw
the prohibition officers coming towards
the house. He saw them search the
premises and he saw his store of
moonshine seized. He felt the hand
Of the law as it was laid upon him by
one of the officers, .and this woke him
up.
So realistic was the dream that the
bootlegger awoke expecting to find
himself in the meshes of the law, and
so impressed was he with the subcon-
scious warning, that at three o'clock
in the morning, he hitched up his
wagon and hauled the discriminating
juice to the mountains to a safe hiding
place.
Strange, but true ito the last detail,
a few hours later the prohibition Of
ficers did come. In reality he saw
them as he had seen them in. his dream.
The search was made but here dream
and actually took separate paths, for
want of evidence.
Up in the foothills of Little North
Mountain there were divers jugs and
other containers saved from seizure
and destruction by the dream of al
violator of the Volstead law.

CHEMISTS REPORT ON
SUSPECTED POISONED FEED

The chemists report, on the feed
sent from Mr.. w. A. Bushong's place
April list, and which was supposed to
have caused the death Of six of his
cattle, does not show any actual poison
but it does show that the food con-
tanned aquantity of trash such as, lead
foil, bits of glass and wood, dead
weevil and worms andsa large amount
of salt. The ensilage was found to be
somewhat moldy and if it was in that
condition when fed might have made
the cattle sick.
Those familiar with the local con-
ditions think that there was some
poison in the feed and this poison to-
gether with the trash and slightly
spoiled ensilage poisoned the cattle.
THE trouble could not have been with
ensilage alone because Mr.. Bushone
| has continued to feed 1t, changing
only the suspected grain mixture and
| has had no more sick cattle.

NOT 4 SUICIDE PHYSICIANS SAY

Not satisfied with the certificate
showing that death was due to hang
ing, as issued by the physician frs
called by the family Of Sylvanus D
Mumaw, when his almost lifeless body
was found In his bed room. his family
had Drs. W. @. Ford and F. Wilson
Gearing Of 2Woodstock Iexamine the
body.
The Woodstock physicians found nc
bruises or other indications of a violent
death, and issued a certificate that
death was due to natural causes. The
strap, or straps, with which it was
alleged that the self destruction was
accomplished had been adjusted by
Mumaw to relieve an affliction from
which he suffered. and it is stated that
death came suddenly while the aged
farmer was engaged in adjusting these
straps.
Mumaw had been treated for leaking
heart valves and was long time suf-
Ter from rheumatism. His physical
condition was such that he lived 10
imminence Of death and but for the
dependency incident to his condition
and his recent conviction for viola
ting the prohibition laws, by jury
at the March term of Court, and
the statements attributed to him that
he never would serve the thirty days
jail sentence which was melted out to
him, it is considered by his friends
that the report of suicide would have
never gained credence.
1t is said that his reference to not
serving jail sentence was based on
his hope that the Court of Appeals
would set aside the finding of the
lower Court.
The funeral services of Mumaw were
held in Gainesville on Saturday and
hundreds of people gathered for the
last rites.
