language Proves Age Of india

1t is saidA that in North and South
America no less than 100 or 100 alb
soiutely distinct languages \exist. AS
the growth Of language h fery slow.
1t is thought that the fact of the
existence of SO great variety Of
speech on the western I continents
proves that the native red men have
inhabited them for many thousands of
years. Another proof Of the antiquity
Of the American Indians, according to
some authorities. is the fact that they
represent distinct humah type. and
the formation Of such type requires
thousands of years.

SALE OF SUPPLIES AT.
PERRYvILLE
Styled Criminal

Charges that. Charles r. Forbes, as
director of the Veterans Bureau
"was leading actor in an estab-
lished conspiracy to defraud the Gov
eminent" are made by John F. DRY
an, Of New York, general counsel, in
his report to the Senate Veterans
Committee.
"In developing this inquiry" Cen
eral Organ said, at has been con-
clusively established by the testi-
mony of witnesses, by documentary
evidence, and by the corroborative
effects of numerous telltale circum-
stances that were brought out, that
fraud and corruption existed in the
bureau"
Organ characterized as criminal
the now famous sale Of Bureau sup
plies at the Perryville, Maryland,
depot to the Thompson-Kelly Com
pany of Boston, which finally was
stopped by President Harding. He
declared that more than 100000
worth Of property, most Of it new
and in original packages had been
sold at 20 cents on the dollar "when
there was continuing use for such
property by the Public Health Ser
vice and the Veterans Bureau.
when all the facts and circum-
stances surrounding the sale are ex-
amined into, as they appear on the
minutes of the public hearings" o.
Ryan said, sit becomes impossible to
believe that the action was the result
Of other than a conspiracy to de-
fraud the Government"
'"The character of Forbes as indi-
Gated by this investigation" he said;
"the prior record Of Commander
OLeary, as indicated by Navy De-
partment records; the detail of o.
Leary to the Bureau arranged for by
Forbes; the misinformation given tht.
Public Health Service; the machina-
tions of Forbes to have his PLANNING
committee share responsibility. for
the decision to- declare the property
surplus; the practically secret sale
agreement that was made; the man
ner in which the inventory of proper
ty cleared for sale by the Co-ordina-
tor of the Budget Bureau was padd-
ed; the speed with which the freight
cars were run into the depot, loaded
up and gotten away; the manner in
which the representatives of the CON
tractor were permitted to load on
outgoing cars not only property not
included in the sale, but newly pur-
chased property then arriving at the
depot; the alertness of OiLeary to
serve the interests Of. the contractors;
The actions and statements made to
deceive the President when he ques-
Toned the sale; and, finally, the re-
susal to obey the Presidents order
% stop shipments-these and many
other circumstances, cause this trans
action to resemble more the work of
buccaneers in the looting and scut-
ting of ship, than mere negligence
Of trusted Government officials"

OVER HALF A TON OF HOG.

The big Hog" journalists side step
ped the sty wherein slumbered the
porcine prize of the Valley when they
played up the banner shoats in theil

A year ago Mr., Merkley bought 6
$50 pound pig IN the Edinburg stock
yard. Joe Shipe was the owner during
its infancy and it was sold for shipment
but Mr. Merkley had vision of the
elephantine possibilities of the porkel
and its life was for time spared.
On Friday, February s, it was deeid-
ed that the animal had reached the
fullness of its growth and it was
"sooed" forth to slaughter. Frank
Merkley was executioner and the whole
countryside shared the labor leading
to the larder. When dressed the form

ably the South.

FEW DOG tags SOLD.

There is no indication of the estab-

shenandoah County but the small num-
her of dog licenses thus far issued in
the County would indicate an unex-

canine family.
Thus far County Treasurer Joseph

| tags. Last year 1868 was the total
seasons output. True the penalty for
having an unlicensed dog does not be-
come effective until May l, yet total

suggest that dog owners are. loath to
loosen up with the dollar and five

REV. Cline COMPLETES YEAR.

In his twelve months pastorate of the
Woodstock Lutheran Church, Rev. r.
H. Cline, who came here from Norfolk
on Feb. 9, 1923, has proven his worth
as minister and added appreciably to
the religious activities of his congre-
CATION.
A report covering eleven months of
his service has been submitted to
Synod, and the figures given will prove
of interest. During this period there
were forty-one accessions to the church
of whom twenty-three were by con-
firmation. thirteen by letters of trans
| fer and five by baptism.
Renewed interest was taken in the
lauxilliaries sanctioned by the church
and part of its plan of work. The
Woman's Missionary Society was or
ganized March %, 1923 and has mem.
bership of %. The Luther League
organized at about the same time has
2O members and the Light Brigade
which was organized in April has {
membership of 20. During the clever
months 81, 800 was raised for all pur
poses, an average of s25 per member
and flaftering testimonial to the gen
Ierosity of the communicates.
Mr.. Cline is earnest and untiring il
Ibis work and his wife is active in thu
tseveral societies which contribute 81
much to the success of the church. HI
lis prominently identified with inter
ldenominational church organization
land has hosts of friends in Woodstocl
land the county who will be glad t
know of his successful service as
local pastor.
