not exceeded by any other crop in

Head lettuce is much specialized
crop which has as its greatest influ-
encing factor, climate However, sew
eral areas in Idaho have passed the
experimental stage in lettuce pro-
duction which have climates very
similar to ours.
At present the states of greatest
production are California, Florida,
Georgia, Arizona and Texas. Practi-
cally all of the head lettuce grown
in these states is produced in the
winter season from December to Oc-
tober and November. Idaho's crop
comes upon the market in May,
June, October and November. and,
therefore, does not come in competi-
tion. to any great extent, with the
output from the other states.

great extremes of heat and cold give
best results. Lettuce must have
dry climate, plenty of sunshine, and
cool nights. Sunshine, but not ex-
treme heat is especially necessary to
produce a crisp, tender, lettuce crop.
A few days of hot weather may in
jure thecrop in the following ways:
1) by causing the plants to go to
seed; CD by producing plants with
no heads; (3) by causing the leaves
to burn; and t4) by the develop
ment of a bitter taste.
Cool nights are highly desirable, I
and light frosts are very seldom in /
furious to the crop. Lettuce has
been subjected to freezing conditions /
for many nights with

Head lettuce should be planted in

A spring crop is being tried out by

CIVIC LEAGUE REORCANIZES.

| Unless there is an abatement in the
enthusiasm which attended the reor-
ganization of the Civic League in the
Woodstock High School building on
Monday evening, much will be accom-
plished for the school and the uplift of
the town.
Sixty men and women interested in
the betterment of conditions in the
town and interested in civic advance
ment attended the meeting, and by
their presence and voice pledged them
selves to such movements as will OBJ
tain for the good of Woodstock.
Addresses outlining the work TO be
done and the ways and means to ac-
complish the objects of the organiza-
ton were made, and the following of.
ficers chosen: President, Arthur c..
Stickley Vice-President, Rev. Frances
A. Brown Secretary, Mrs Frank B.
Riddleberger, and Treasurer, Mrs. Jos.
B. Clover.
Among other things agreed upon by
the League was the assumption of the
rental for the school annex recently
opened in the Ramey building, and the
intention to make permanent the Bible
study class which has been started in
the High School.
Meetings were fixed for the evening
of the first Thursday in each month, to
be held in the Court House.

IT WASN'T A CIRCUS PARADE

Monday evening visions of circus
parade threw the even tenor of Wood
stock ways out of balance for while.
The sound of calliope brought back
memories of man eating tigers and
ponderous pachyderms. Many thought
it the musical accompaniment of the G.
o. P. elephant on an ante election
parade. The calliope was located in the
skating rink which has resumed
recreation on rollers for the young
folk. 1t is the very latest musical in
strument for an attraction of this
character and is operated by cleo.
tricity, using rolls of music similar to
those used on a piano player. The
"inwards" of the costly instrument are
complicateda and ingenious while num-
Der OF highly polished brass pipes or
its roof give forth the tones and tunes
The calliope is costly affair and viii
add much to the joys of roller skaters
However this is an educated calliopt
and it is called calliephone.

is an expert matchmaker and ieweler
and during his stay in Woodstock was
associated with his uncle, r. l. BargeIt.
In the organization Of the Chamber
Of Commerce he took en- active and
conspicuous part and the success Of the

to his work. While in Woodstock he

interests Of the town and was an A /

COURT day MONDAY

The November term of Circuit Court
begins on Monday with all dockets
crowded and special grand jury
summoned to add the results of its
investigations to the criminal docket.
A petit jury has been summoned for
the second day of the term and it is
probable that much of the time OF
Judge F. B. Whiting will be consumed
in the trial of criminal cases. In this
category liquor cases lead, and a
number of these will be disposed of.
The November term of Court usually
disposes ofa large number of litigation,
and the present term will doubtless
materially reduce the dockets which are
filled to Overlooking.
One of the cases of unusual interest
will be the one of William Click, who
will be presented to the grand jury for
manufacturing moonshine and whose
arrest followed a raid by Deputy
Sheriff Mckinley Ryman who shot
Click in the thigh as he was fleeing
from the officer.

GEN. KINCAlD VISITS COUNTY

An interesting and interested visitor
to Shenandoah Caverns on Sunday was
General j. Leslie Kincaid, President OF
the American Hotels Association and
Vice President of the United Hotels OF
America. The corporation of which
Gen. Kincaid is president operates a
number of the largest hotels in the
country, among them the Roosevelt in
New York. 1t has under construction
the William Penn, 1900 room hosiery
in Philadelphia. The association also
operates the new George Washington
hotel in Winchester.
With Mrs. Kincaid General Kincaid
was on his first visit to this section oil
the Shenandoah Valley, and both were
fulsome in their praise of its marvellous
beauty. They were particularly i'm.
pressed with the gorgeousness OF the
Caverns, and prophesied big things fol
the Valley.
General Kincaid, who was the CUES
of Mr.. H. B. Chapman, one OF the
owners of Shenandoah Caverns
commented favorably on the splendid
highway though the Valley, and sug
gested that inasmuch as Virgins
roads were reputed as being bad
it would be well to give publicit,
to the fact that the great highwa,
which threads this territory is one O
the best in the country.

MUST HAVE Been MAKING IT

Sheriff b. NJ Borden and deputies
made a prediction visitation to the
hinterland in the Northe IN end OF
Shenandoah County on Monday in
qnest of toxine for topers. To
quote the Sheriff, SIN many places the
atmosphere was loaded with the oder
of liquor" but the willy manufacturers
of illicit spirits had SO effectively
covered their tracks that no arrests
were made.
Evidences of recent runs" were
found at several places and the sylvan
slopes were splashed with mash from
which coffin varnishIhad been extracted
Some folks, somewhere, lin that section
Of the County are well supplied with
ardent spirits, and the vigilance of the
officers may yet be rewarded as it is
being transported from the hiding
placsto the markets where it sells for
four dollars a quart.
One little still, without cap or worm,
was unearthed in the raid.

new ENCLANDERS VISIT WOODSTOCK

! Held up by hospitality at othe
points along their route, the New
England delegation Of manufacturer
and business men did not reach Wood
to ok until 4:30 p. m. Saturday. over ar
hour behind the scheduled time.
The delay however did not interfere
with the hospitable reception which
had been arranged for the delegation
by the Woodstock Chamber OF Com
merce at Massanutten Academy. Here
the citizens of the town had arranged a
brief program, which included the
serving Of cider, Qess than one hall OF
one per cent, of course) cakes, and
coffee. Specimens of the best vir-
ginia apples were also presented to
the delegates.
Col. Howard j. Benchoff, Head
master Of the-Academy and director
In the Chamber of Commerce, welcon-
ed the body to Woodstock and gave
the visitors a short sketch OF the
historic town and its enyirons. Talks
were also made by Edgar j. Rick OF
Winchester, Mass, R. S. Holding OF
Providence, R. l., Frank S. Davis OF
Boston, DR.. Joseph H. Smith OF Peters
burg. President of the Virginia Cham
Der of commerce. and Dan P. Wine,
Secretary of the Shenandoah Valley.
Inc.
The New Englanders voiced their
pleasure in having been fortunate
enough to have visited the Shenan-
doah Valley, and to have seen this
wonderful section of the Country.
They were especially laudatory of the
courtesy and hospitality which they
had received on the trip through Vir-
ginia, as guests of the Virginia Cham
Der of Commerce. 1t meant to them
a better understanding of the Old
Dominion with its wants and oppor-
tunities, and further cemented the
fraternal ties between sections OF a
common country which, at one time,
were far apart because of the bitterness
which was engendered by war.
The visit of representative delega-
tion of this character to Woodstock and
the Valley of Virginia, is freighted with
incalculable good to the section, and
aside from the friendships formed andI
the good will established it will mean
much from commercial and business
standpoint.
On Sunday Col. Benchoff received a
telegram from the visitors which tells
its own story. The message reads.
"Col. H. j. Benchoff,
Massanutten Academy
Woodstock, Va.
Please express to the good people OF
Woodstock our appreciation of their
kindness. We wish we could havel
mad longer visit.
Signed.

80 GALLON STILL FOUND

Another still was added to the long
list of poison producers which Deputy
Sheriff Mckinley Ryman has unearth
ed in that oasis in the alcoholic desert,
which lies west of Conicville. A thirty
gallon outfit was found by the officer
in a neck of woods near the Comic
ville-Jerome highway, where it was
hidden by the owner. just who
operated the plant is matter OF guess
work, but as it takes the goods in
stead of guesses to get conviction no
arrests were made in connection with
the matter. However, the still is in the
custody of Sheriff B. NJ. Borden, at
Moonshiner's Hotel, Woodstock, and
the owner can have the same by ap-
plying in person and paying costs OF
search and seizure.

ern store building which r. Lee Bar
gelt, the Reliable Jeweler," will erect
on Court Street, between the HERALD
office and travels Furniture Store,
and opposite his present place of
business. The plans call for tile and
brick materials, and the building will
front 80 feet on Court Street. Court
Street from Main to the railroad is de-
veloping rapidly as business center.
and other buildings are being con.
structed in this area.
The name Bargelt has been identi.
fled with the iewelry business in
Woodstock for considerably over half
"a century, and the present owner has
kept the family name synonymous
with square dealing and honest
merchandise.
The Valley Builders Supply Company
has the contract for the building, and
plans were made by w. G. Murdoch
president of the Company.
