WOODSTOCK ORCHARDS BLOOM.

just what size apple crop will be
produced by local fruit growers is a
matter of conjecture, for in addition to
the shortage of bloom on some varieties,
the weather conditions will make or
mar the crop.
The orchards in and around Wood
stock, with some exceptions, have an
appreciable shortage of bloom as com
pared with last year, an indication of 8
much smaller crop.
However there are orchards, among
them those of 81 B. Chapman and Co.
and Stouffer and Kern which are filled
with bloom, except on about twenty
per cent of the trees. The owners o.
these orchards attribute the large
amount of bloom to the cultivation anl
care of the trees and the fact that tn,
heavy fruitage of last year was thinnet
before the apples reached maturity
In the Chapman orchard, with som,
varieties, the trees are ladened witt
bloom and given favorable condition
this orchard will produce almost q
many apples as were picked last year
1t is beautiful sight, in the orchar,
belt contiguous to the town, and in tn
bloom may be seen a lesson of wha
intelligent, intensive cultivation wi
do as distinguished from the haphazar
methods which some orchardists pun
sue.

764S VOTERS 1859 DOGS

According to statistics, as cleaned
from the records in the County Treas
urer's office, every fourth voter in
Shenandoah County owns dog, or
there is one dog for each four voters.
Some voters of course own more than
one dog, and some dog owners cannot
vote, but County Treasurer Harpine
has listed 7643 voters, who have paid
capitation taxes and will be qualified
to vote for Calvin Coolidge or his
Democratic opponent, and 1859 dogs
upon which The license tax has been
paid.
The population of Shenandoah County
is approximately $4,000, which means
that one third of the population is
eligible to vote. 1t also means one
dog to approximately thirteen of the
population, and the family average
OF. five, almost every second family
in the County has dog.
The revenue from capitation taxes
goes to the school fund, part of which
is paid directly by the State and the
other is allocated to the counties to be
appropriated by the Board of Super
visors.
The Dog Fund goes partially for the
maintenance of the State Bureau of
Game and Fisheries and the county's
proportion goes for the payment of
sheep and poultry killed by dogs
Usually there is surplus in the
County dog fund which the Board of
Supervisors divides among the dis
tricts for Road purpose.

WINCHrSTER'S Big DAY

4 Thousands Of Woodstock and Shenan
| doah County citizens iourneyed TO WIN
leicester ON Saturday TO participate u
1.-THE great Apple Blossom Day festivities
linaugurated by the Shenandoah vale.
Incorporated to focus the eyes 0
the world on the fact that TN
best apples on earth are produced IL
1.-THE Valley of Virginia.
Two floats were sent to the Frederici
County City from Woodstock, one
lreplica Of the little church wherein
Rev. Peter Gabriel Muhlenburg startled
his congregation of Valley pioneers by
doffing his sacerdotal robes and ap-
lpearing in the uniform of Continental
officer. The story of that Sunday
morning in the Revolutionary period
Is known wherever recorded history
has aroused the patriotism of people,
and the float in the great parade in
Winchester showed the preacher
patriot in the act of discarding his sur
plice for the uniform. The interior oil
the little church was true to life in its
fittings, and behind the old altar, w. M.
Calvert, Sec. of the Chamber OF Com
merce played the part of Muhlenburg.
-Four soldiers of the Revolution, repre-
sented by cadets from Massanutten
Military Academy, with costumes OF
soldiers of Washington's army, stood
guard, while young James Clover
gave the war time finish to the tableux
as drummer boy.
The display attracted much attention
from the thousands of visitors and
received commendable notice from the
big dailies which were represented in
Winchester on Saturday.
Another Shenandoah float was a
moving mass of apple blossoms and
wild flowers. The big Mercer car of
Jason j. Sperry was the foundation OF
this float, and OF large frame, COM
pletely surrounding, the automobile
the springtime decorations were
arranged in an artistic and attractive
manner.
This float bore a banner especially
appropriate, for under the words,
Scream of Shenandoah" three of
Woodstock's prettiest girls, Misses
Madolin Walton, Alma Sherman and
Louise Sheppe, chaperoned by Mrs.
Joseph B. Clover, sat in bower OF
blossoms, and demonstrated to the adj
miring thousands that Shenandoah
County's girls are peerless for their
pulchritude.
Massanutten Military Academy with
a representative body of cadets, COM
manded by Col. Howard J. Benchoff,
took large part in the parade With
the band and the natty appearance of
the cadets the Academy boys reflected
credit upon the splendid School which
they represented.
The proverbial hospitality of Win
chester not only measured up to the
past reputation of the city but exceed
ed the expectation of the thousands
who jammed the streets. The entire
lay passed without an accident or al
nishap TO mar the festivities, and it is
anticipated that Apple Blossom Day
viii be fixed fete in the Shenandoah
Valley.
There were bands galore in the pa
-ade, floats which equalled the famous
ones in the big Mardis Gras parade in
New Orleans. soldiers, citizens and
prominent men fIom State and Nation.
Secretary Weeks represented Presi-
lent Coolidge.
1t was gala day and the biggest
event of its character ever held in the
Valley.

Ralph jennings nineteen year old
Edinburg youth needs no 'soup" to
qualify as yeggeman. Neither does
he require the mechanical ingenuity
of the expert craftsman. All Jennings
needed was a stove poker, the iron
safe and an opportunity.
He found all three in the mill of
George w. Ring on Sunday night, and
the strong box was opened with the
aid of the stove fixture. Sixty-five
dollars were obtained by the robbery,
and on Monday morning Jennings left
Edinburg on truck bound northward.
He got as far as Strasburg, where he
was placed under arrest by Special
officer Braden Hoover OF Edinhurg,
and brought to Woodstock and placed
in jail.
Forty-eight dollars were on his per-
son. and it is alleged that Jennings
confessed to the robbery. He will be
one of a growing company OF law
yiolators who will await the action Of
the special grand jury, when it meets
on next Monday.

CIRCUIT COURT MONDAY

Circuit Court viii begin the reguia
May session on next MONDAY. and TIL
docket as made up indicates that Judgl
F. B Whiting win be here for an ex
tended period.
| While no civil cases have beer
definitely set for trial it is probable
that some of the accumulated cases
on the civil and chancery sides Of the
Court will be dissosed of finally.
Aspecal grand jury will be impanelled
to investigate charges against the
following alleged violators of the law
Medgar Bowers and Wesley Reynard
charged with entering an outbuildine
on the farm of R. J.. Lantz, in the night
time and stealing cider and feed.
Charles Turner for violation of the
prohibition laws near Hudson Gross
Roads, when it is alleged liqnor was
found in his possession when search
was made.
Harry Braithwaite, of Winchester
who was arrested at Conicville by
Deputy Sheriff Mckinley Ryman on the
night of April 10, when large quantity
of moonshine was seized in touring car
now held by the State for liquor trans
poatation. This arrest was marked by
the sensational escape of man and a
woman, occupants of the moonshine
car when the arrest was made.
Charles Mumaw alleged violation of
prohibition laws.
Melvin Drummond and Elmer Sher-
man, for alleged violation of the pro-
hibition laws at Hawkinstown.
Walter B. Good, Deputy Sheriff
charged with the unlawful shooting of
Leo Cooley, a Winchester youth, at
Fishers Hill. when it is alleged Cooley
failed to stop his automobile upon
orders from the deputy.
There are a half dozen criminal
cases, on appeal and some by indict
ment, awaiting disposition, and mas
much as the criminal cases are given
precedence over civil cases, it is
doubtful if much will be done during
the term but dispose OF the former
class of cases.
Ralph Jennings, whose arrest for
burglary at the mill of Geo. W. Ring in
Edinburg is noted in another column,
will not be presented to the grand
Jury, it appearing that he is under the
age of Is, and his case will be disposed
Of by Judge M. L. Walton Jr., on May
10, when it is set for hearing.

Killed By Explosion

| The tragic death OF j. Russell Border
at his home where whose home wa
| several miles northwest of Toms Brood
caused great shock to his many rela
tives and friends in Shenandoah
County.
| The details of the tragedy will nevel
be known and just what caused the
explosion of dynamite which tore Of
his hand, mangled his body and lef
him dying in his orchard will never be
known.
On late Monday afternoon, the vic
tim of the explosion was blasting
holes for the planting of trees in his
commercial orchard, He was working
alone at the scene of the explosion,
though several men were working in
the orchard. These men heard the
terrific blast of the the explosive and
thinking it of unusual severity they
went to the spot where Mr.. Borden
was working.
He was found unconscious, and
weltering in the blood of half dozen
CHASTITY wounds. Carl Richmond who
first reached Mr.. Borden was asked by
the wounded man to take him to the
house and send for the doctor. DR..
James H. Smoot of Woodstock was
called and as rapidly as possible
measures were taken to rush the
injured man to the Winchester
hospital. An ambulance from this
institution met a truck, upon which
Mr.. Borden was being carried, at
Toms Brook.
His injuries were such and the
shock following them so great that he
never rallied and on Tuesday morning
he died.
Mr.. Borden was well known fruit
grower in his section, and took an ac-
tive interest in all matters pertaining
to fruit growing. He was high type
citizen and man with many friends
He is survived by his widow and one
child, Evelyn ten years of age. The
widow was Miss Daisy Copp before
marriage.
In addition TO his widow and child
Mr.. Borden is survived by the follow
ing brothers and sisters Newton w.
Borden, States Attorney, Medford,
Oregon, and Charles Borden, of Saums-
vile; five sisters, Mrs. Frank Saum, of
Saumsville; Mrs. j. S. Wisman, Mrs.
Elmer Hickman and Mrs. Hugh Nc
Inturff, of Toms Brook, Va, and Mrs.
Ed Maphis of Mt. Olive. Va.
Mr.. Borden was one of the official
board of the Christian Church att
Saumsville and his life exemplified the
teachings of the Master. AS husband,
father, friend and neighbor he so lived
that the entire community appreciated |
mis- goodness and his work, and his
death comes as distinct loss to the cit
in the section where he lived.
He was buried yesterday after SER
vices in the Saumsville church.
