LEGISLATION OF LOCAL INTEREST

BY request, Delegate Nehemiah Kel-
ley he's introduced bill in the Legis-
lature empowering the Board of Super
visors to rescind their action in making
the cedar rust law effective in Shenan-
doah county. Such legislation, if pass
ed, would prevent the further cutting
of cedars in the county, should the
Board adopt resolution to rescind,
but the orchard interests in Virginia
will probably kill any effort to tamper
with the present law.
Strasburg is asking for material
change in its charter. the outstanding
provision of which is the one granting
the Town Council a right to elect .
Town Assessor. There is considerabl,
opposition to this feature Of the bill
! introduced.

authorized to be issued at $50, 900, but
the water situation is such, from any

the town, and provide for an increase
of consumption which will necessarily
follow the logical growth of the town.
All plans for augmenting the water
supply of Woodstock are in tentative
stage, and whatever source of supply
is sought and finally selected, will be
acquired with view of taking care of
future development in Woodstock, in
dustrial and otherwise. and the system
of expansion will be determined by the
towns's ability to finance the project.
1t Is matter requiring intelligent con-
sideration by the people Of the town.
who are brought face to face with the
problem of the towns expansion. 1t
is either growth or stagnation and
Woodstock cannot afford to stagnate.
In the same bill is a provision for an
additional amendment to the charter
providing for the election OF town
treasurer, clerk, sergeant, attorney,
of water works, health
officer, overseer of the poor and chief
or captain of the fire department by
the Town Council, to serve four years
at the pleasure of the Council. This
change in the event of the passage of
the bill will not become operative until
after the next municipal election.

POLITICAL HARVESTS
New York TimeS)

New York Times)
An English agricultural CORES
pendent Of London newspaper
begins his report on this years
prospects by saying that it is the
most political" harvest in recent
history. He goes on to say that
England's relations with foreign
countries and social RECONSTRUCT
ton at home are strangely bound
up" with the grain on Russian,
Canadian, American and British
acres. The price of wheat has
risen, he thinks, on the whole
from causes (which seem to be
more real than they usually are"
Russia. barely able to feed her
self, is exporting a small amount.
Australia is growing more and
more wheat, but what she sends
abroad is absorbed by the Far
East. which is shifting from rice
to wheat as a staple food. The
Prairie Provinces of Canada are a
marvellous sea of wheat" though
the harvest Is far below the aver
age.
AS for the English farmers, they
are tired OF selling their wheat at
a loss, and are disposed to grow
grain, solely for their own con-
sumption. But much may happen
yet to the price of wheat. A
"move of financial plotters in Chi
cagO" or a thunderstorm or con-
timed wet may ruin prospects
and may mean to the English
farmer the difference between
solvency and bankruptcy. He is
coming to realize with the Amer
lean farmer that agriculture is
not solely a matter of local wath-
err, that what befalls each, whether
in Australia. the Argentine or
America. is of concern to ALL Per-
ception of this truth lead to the
organization of the International
Agricultural Institute at Rome.
It's estimate for. even some remote
country, as the Secretary of Agri-
culture states in his report, is
cabled to the United States and
broadcast before night to the
farmers. The harvest is indeed
"politicar' as we'll as economic.
not only for the British Empire
and for America but for the globe.

FIVE-Differences of religious belief
SIX-Economic rivalry, exploitation OF situations
leading to slavery
SEVEN-Nationalism (patriotism).

integration. <'
