KILLING OF BEARS HELD CAUSE
OF INCREASE IN HUCKLEBERRIES

! George Duncan, an old-time bear
hunter of Powells Fort, Shen. County,
says he has discovered the reason for
the greatly increased huckleberry yield
I, of the Massanutten Mountains, among
which he has spent almost his entire
life.
Acco riding to the veteran hunter,
who has to his credit bruins and deer
| by the wholesale, says that when he
was boy the bears were SO numerous
lin the mountain ranges aroud his home
that they decimated the huckleberry
crop. Then huckleberry pies were an
unknown luxury in his neighborhood.
Since the laws of the State have al
lowed the Staying of Sir Bruin, added
to the fact that the numerous fires that
have swept the Massanutten Mountains
have been beneficial to the buckle
berry crop, the berries are now picked
by the bushel. each day by anyone
who is an adept at the business, whereas
In former years their scarcity made
half-bushel good days work.
Duncan believes that the trading of
bruin for the huckleberry crop has
been one of the best investments that
has ever been made by the mountain
folk.
When bears were plentiful the meat
could be bought for 80 cents pound.
Compared with this are huckleberries
at 40 cents per gallon. The mountain
folks believe that the exchange has
been good one. He says that in adj
dition to the greediness of the bears
for huckleberries that they have been
known to destroy the bushes in great
n numbers when they we're luxuriating
a mong the berries which they were
eating

The aggregation budget calls for al
expenditure of 500, 7S7. % which may be
reduced alittle if, as in the case in the
appropriation for contagious disease
no necessity arises for spending none,
for this purpose. However, here is small
chance but what the Board will spent
the approximate one hundred thousant
dollars. called for by the budget dur
ing the year.
The Board agreed TO appropriat,
$500 90 for the betterment of the roa,

Do You Vote 2

A compilation of statistics BY
Golfers Weekly, shows that:
In 1896, so per cent of voters
cast ballots,
In 1900, 73 per cent.
In 1908, 90 per cent.
In 1912. 81 per cent.
III 1920. less than so per cent.
What will be tile showing in
1924?
Reasons for the steadily de-
creasing interest of the electorate
in their right and duty to vote
are as varied as their sources.
The increase of the vote through
woman suffrage. the dissatis-
faction of voters with the alleged
decadence of parties and the
supposed fact that one party is
much like another, too great an
increase III foreign born popu-
lstion, are all suggested.
A fourth, Which has some ap
peal TO logic to recommend it is
the failure of the electorate to
understand what it is all about
In other words. tile completely
OF the problems involved makes
choice oil candidate of party so
difficult That the mental laziness
which is apparently an inherent
part of the majority OF minds
takes charge and prevents any
vote, rather than endure the dis
comfort OF thinking OUT which
candidate TO vote for.
If this last suggested reason is
correct, November should show
surprising increase over previous
years in percentage of votes cast
1t is true that there is no sucl,
issue before the public this yea r
as, for instance. in 1896 there
is no such sharp differentiation
between the platforms of the two
major parties as might cause
such an increase in votes. But
