efforts to the long-tailed pork
ers of the neglectful women,
and as soon as these pigs were
gone the poor cave men had
to do without their pork. For
pigs could not be raised in the
cave districts because they
were infested with tigers.
After several generations Of
artificial curling, nature took
the hint and piggy began to
be bonn with his tail in a curl
or with curl in his tail
whichever phrase you prefer.
However, the cave men still
raided the villages for wives,
selecting only those whose hair
was long enough to permit Of
an easy clutch. The great ma
jority of short-haired women
died old maids. Strange as it
may seem the long-haired
women refused to bob their
hair. Therefore, the short
haired race died out, and since
then, women's hair has always
been long; until these latter
days when bobbed hair is no
longer a preventative Of mar
rage.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

Josiah Wisman, on April &c, 1925,
one of our beloved brethren, a lead

Lutheran Congregation, he being
chairman of the Joint Council, elder

That we hereby record our deep
sense of loss by his death and ex-

DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY

Quite a few OF the automobile
drivers seem to have an unusual de-
sire to use our side streets as speed
ways. hey certainly cannot realize
the danger caused the little children
and other pedestrians by their
thoughtlessness, otherwise the speed
would be held down a little. or at
least they would wait until they get
out Of town to ''cut FER loose"
The most of this careless driving
is done by people who are thinking
more about the quality and speed
of their machine than about the
safety of others, and they want to
show the power of and let the viii
layers know that the cut-out works
noisily.
Fortunately for us, traf1c acct
dents have been rare in Woodstock
Nevertheless, this is no reason why
we should run any risk by allowing
unconcerned driving or excessive
speed along our streets. Unreason-
able speed In town or congested
area is anything above Is miles an
hour and any one going above this
can not have car under control.
Accidents always occur suddenly
and Unexpectedly. A great many of
them could be prevented, however.
If necessary precaution was taken
at the proper time. An automobilist,
while driving about town. should
guard against losing control of his
machine, for he can not tell at what
moment something unexpected may
happen, People are so very uncer-
tain, and a driver should make al
lowances for this fact.
There is nothing more gruesome
or awful to look upon than an au-
tomobile accident.
So always drive slowly and care
fully. and you may avoid a lot of
regret, sorrow and misery.

ENFORCE THE FISH LAWS

Year after year the supply of bass
in the North Branch of the Shen-
andoah River is decreasing. This
situation is alarming to the sports
men who have spent a good many
Jears following this fine old stream
Of ours in quest of the kingly bronze
back, for they realize that should
this condition continue much longer,
it will be but a short while until
game fishing will be a thing of the
past. We have been especially
blessed by nature in that we have
a stream SO perfectly adapted to
black bass, but somehow or other
he majority of US seem to lack that
ineness of sportsmanship to esti-
mate the value of what we have,
and consequently day by day,
through negligence and disregard OF
laws, we are permitting the sport
we love, to slip steadily away from
us The responsibility for our wan
ing fishing supply has been attribu-
ted to great variety Of things.
Some blame the carp for the de-
struction of the spawn, others ac-
cuse the giggers of taking bass IL
legally, while still others point out
improper fish ladders on the dams

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

Whereas, In the providence OF
God, our much esteemed co-laborer
and friend, Josiah Wisman. who mas
been tba chairman of the County
School Board of Shenandoah County
for a number of years and one of
its efficient trustees, has suddenly
departed this life, thus changing la
Dor for reward, we deem it eminent
ly proper and fitting that in recog-
milton of his eminent and faithful
services, not only as chairman OF
the County School Board and trustee
of the public school system of Shen-
andoah County, but as an upright
citizen and business man, that we
adopt a suitable testimonial respect
ing his life, services and usefulness.
his life, services and usefulness.
Therefore, be it resolved,
First: That we shall greatly miss
and be deprived of his wise counsels
and advice in the line of his duty
as a trustee, which has been greatly
enhanced by his long continuous
service as friend and official of the
public school system of Shenandoah
County.
Second: That we always found
him ready and willing to contribute
his services and labor in behalf of
the sGhoot.<gstem of the county. to
which he was greatly devoted and
ever ready to respond to the call of
duty in behalf of the same.
Third: That we also recognize
his ability and talent as a business
man, his patriotism as a citizen and
his constant fealty to his church, to
which he was so ardently attached
Fourth: That We hereby extend
to his bereaved wife and children
our sympathy and coincidence and
pray the grace of God may be suffi-
cient to sustain them in their hour
fof bereavement, as well as the com
fort which they derive from the sat
isfaction in knowing and reviewing
the life history of their loved one.
Fifth: That these resolutions be

and maintain that they prevent the
fish from going up stream. thus pro-
hibiting a more equal distribution of
the stock. In manner they are
correct in all these reasons; but the
truth is that the most significant
cause, is the need of proper enforce
ment of the fish and game laws by
the authorities. Our present laws
are unquestionably adequate to pro-
tect the fish. They are almost ex-
actly the same as the laws that gov
ern this sport in other states. Yet
for some reason they have never
accomplished in the least the purpose
for which they were enacted. The
game wardens claim that they can't
catch the law-breakers unless they
have the cooperation of the people
generally. This. of course, Is true
in a certain sense and pretty rea-
sonable argument Nevertheless they
need never expect the assistance of
the people, until they display some
activity and interest themselves.
This thing of going out once or twice
year to look for some offender is
not activity and never will bring the
results desired The game law
breakers of Virginia are no more
clever than they are in other sec
tions of the country, yet they seem
to be harder to apprehend and pun
ish here than elsewhere. Another
argument of the wardens Is that they
do not receive sufficient pay to JUS
tify them in giving their time to this
work In case this is true, 1t APP
pears that they are very unwise in
accepting the position, when they re-
alize the attention a job of this kind
requires. Still we don't seem CON-
PEELED to adopt any compulsory
methods in getting men to accept the
office. This article is no d.
rected at any individual nor any par
ticular set of individuals. for the
laxity of enforcing the laws has been
going on for years, and there Is no
better time than now for it to be
called to the attention of people that
it may be remedied in some way.

water committee of the town, will
be present to give detailed account

all the data concerning same. This
is matter that deserves your earn

zen of Woodstock, it is your duty to
be there. whether you are for the
water bond issue or not, and learn
the truth.

will be very glad to have a frank
