THOUSANDS VISIT VALLEY

| That the Shenandoah Valley Is fas
becoming the mecca of tourists wa'
|evidenced by the constant stream O
automobiles on the Valley turnpike or
Friday, Saturday ard Sunday. While
for days there has been big traffic
along this highway, the peak of the
travel was on the Fourth, and thousands
of tourists from other sections came te
this Virginia Eden to visit the mar.
Vicious caverns and view the unequ all
ed scenery.
Hotels, Inns, Wayside Stopping
places and many private houses were
crowded to capacity, and TO the credit
of the folks along the way it may be
stated that there was no effort to
gouge or overcharge because of the
opportunity Naturally, the objective
of the majority of the travellers were
the great subterranean attractions
which are located in this area and
whose fame is advertised to the
uttermost parts of the earth. Shenan-
doah and Endless caverns were visited
by hundreds of tourists and these
hundreds were enthusiastic in their
praises of the beauty of the grottoes.
Save few minor mishaps there was
nothing to mar the holiday season, and
because of Governor Trinkle's procla-
nation making Saturday a holiday,
banking institutions had three day
period of rest, and hundreds of en-
ployees of Virginia financial establish
ments had an opportunity to make a
motor trip to the Shenandoah Valley
Woodstock celebrated the glorious
Fourth in its customary way. Stores
were closed and the inhabitants either
went fishing or stayed at home. There
was no noise to break the Sabbath
stiffness of the day and the prosci ibed
fire cracker failed to appear as it did
in the days gone by. Some few flags
floated from business houses and resi-
dences, the only reminders of 1776.
Among the large number OF guests
at Birds Nest Inn during the Fonrth of
July vacation were Mrs. M. NJ Hinkle
and granddaughter, Miss Jacquelin
Ames, Mr.. Marion Fowler, Mr.. and
Mrs. John C. Gordon, Miss Miriam M. |
Gordon, Mrs. w. M. Heinline, Misses
Oliver C. Postley, Agnes M. Farrell, |

RICHARD BAUSERhAN IN HOSPITAL

Richard Bauserman, son of Hon. and
Mrs. j. M. Bauserman was taken to the
Winchester hospital for treatment for
blood poisoning. Starting with small
blister on the finger, the infection
spread until the arm became infected,
and his condition became so serious
that he was taken to Winchester at an
early hour this morning. There is
much anxiety among his family and
large number of friends, and just how
serious the infection is cannot be learn
ed for probably forty eight hours.

ANCESTORS OF DEMOCRATIC
NOMINEE FROM WOODSTOCK

According to correspondence with
the family of John D. Davis, presi-
DENTAL nominee of the Democratic
party, which has been carried on DUR
ing the past two years, with Mr.. D. D.
Davis OF Woodstock, it is found that
the ancestors Of this branch OF the
Davis family were residents OF Wood
stock prior to 1900. The letters TO
Mr.. Davis were written for the pur-
pose of tracing the ancestry OF the
family as the writer of one letter
stated that she has been told that Mr..
Davis of Woodstock, was well inform
ed as to the ancestors OF the Davis
family.
Letters have beenreceived in former
wears by the late Capt. j. H. Grabill,
who upon several occasions furnished
information, both from the century
old files of the HERALD, and from ira
dition and records.
Mrs. Daniel Reilly and Mrs Annie
Alexander, of Woodstock, whose father
Josiah HexEes Davis was descendant
of Josiah Hewes, a signer OF the Dec
laration of independence, have also re.
ceived inquiries within the past few
years The connection of the familie:
now residing in Woodstock with Calei
Davis, the great grandfather Of ths
Democratic nominee has not yet beer
definitely established, but it has been
verified that Caleb Davis and some oil

years residents of Woodstock.

NEW YORK CITY. "A baby born

:.For the last seven years an aver
age OF one baby out OF every IL born
alive is lost" he said.
While high percentage Of the
babies in this country are born nor

fects through the period Of childhood,
SO that comparatively small percent
reach maturity In normal health.
s7 .''rhe great bulk of American-born
children have a sufficiency Of food

but there is a surprising degree of

true in certain rural areas and in the
