BY CHAS. M. PIPKIN
Correspondent

Choice to prime fed cattle re-
manned in active demand, but the
plain shOrt-fed classes and grass
fat grades were 10c to Csc lower.
There was liberal supply OF
Oklahoma grass cattle and first
this season, and the big part of
them was COW stuff. Stockers and
feeders were in larger supply than
aweek ago. Hog prices eased off
moderately, but the general market
is in fairly settled condition.
Sheep and lamb prices were quoted
up Csc with the trade active.
Todays receipts: Cattle. $4,000;
hogs, 10000, and sheep, 5000, com
pared with 10000 cattle, 5000 hog,
and 10000 sheep a week ago, and
15,525 cattle, II 900 hogs and $500
sheep year.
Beef Cattle.
Killers found only a moderate
supply of fairly good fed steers to-
day and bought them readily at
strong to slightly higher prices
nothing choice to prime was Of
fered and buyers needed them and
would have gone the price limit
The short fed classes and straight
grass fat offerings that showed
grass sap strongly were 15c to 25c
lower. The price spread between
choice and ordinary kinds will in
crease from now on. The few good
yearlings, light and handy weight
steers and mixed butcher classes
here brought S10.50@11.00, medium
weights $1150 and mixed butcher
classes here brought $11.75 or bet

the fulfilled classes, COWS and heif-
ers were 15c to Csc lower and sold
slowly. Straight grass fat grades
predominated. Calves were quoted
soc lower. Odd lots sold up to
$3.50 and straight punches up to
$500.
StOckers and Feeders.
Plain to fairly good stockers and
feeders were offered more freely
than for some time past. And
prices were weak to Csc lower. The
better grades were fully steady.

25c to soc. Stock calves were
scarce at steady prices.
Sheen and Lambs.

SUMMER BEGINS
JUNE 21
VoU may think summer is here.

VOU may think summer is here,
but officially it does not begin
until June 21, which will be the
longest day of the year in the
northern hemisphere. 1t comes on
Sunday, which will doubtless make
tennis and golf players rejoice.
June is the month to look for the
big dipper high in the western sky
with. the end OF the handle nearly
due north, says bulletin Of the
American Nature association.
Bootes, generally spoken of as the
Herdsman, is also known as the OK
driver and is supposed to be driving
the seven plow oxen, as the seven
stars of the big dipper are also
known, around the north pole of
the heavens.
Arcturus, the brightest star in
Bootes, is the bear-guard, as its
name signifies, and it can be easily
found by prolonging the line of
stars in the tail of the great bear
or the handle of the big dipper to-
ward the southeast. Some see in
Boots hunter pursuing the great
bear with his two hounds.
Bootes is easily found because its
chief stars form the outline of a
boys kite, with the bright orange
colored star Arcturus at the point
where the tail joins the body of
the kite. This kite has two tails,
however, extending to either side
from ArcturuS.
Some prefer to see the five fairly
bright stars in Bootes to the north
of Arcturus as corners of penta-
gon, a five-sided figure with it's
sides of equal length.
Arcturus, it's peculiar orange color
making it easy to find, is also one
of the three brightest stars north
of the celestial equator. The other
two are Vega, now far over the
northeast, and Capella in the north
west. The three stars differ greatly
in color, for Vega is bluish-white;
Capella, yellow, and Arcturus, or
ange. Vega is a shade brighter
than the other two, which are ex-
actly equal in brightness.
Arcturus, the American Nature
association points out, is one OF
the nearer stars to the earth,
though there is some uncertainty as
to its exact distance. 1t is placed
between twenty-one and thirty-six
light years. A light year is the
Sistance light travels in a year a.
the speed of 10000 miles a second.
Arcturus is also quite giant sun
the stars all being suns, of course.
It's diameter is nearly 10000 600
miles. That makes our sun, with
diameter Of only $4,000 miles, look
pretty small, though compared
to our planet earth, with its diam
eter of 5000 miles, it seems large.
Corona Borealis, next to Bootes
on the east, is the northern crown,
and it is indeed a beautiful little
crown of six stars in which the
second magnitude star Gemma or
Alphacca. the brightest star in the
semi-circle, is the jewel in the
crown

IRATE GROCER
SHOOTS DOCTOR


Near Tragedy In HarrisOnburg-
Domestic Troubles To Blame
DIR. A. w. Miller, veterinarian,
was shot through the right leg with
.32 calibre revolver while his au-
tomobile was stopped on North Lib
erty Street about nine O'Clock Mon
day night by John w. McCary. local
groceryman, who alleged his victim
caused domestic trouble in his home.
McCary then went downtown in
the Miller machine, gave himself up
to Policeman W. G. Early and made
ARRANGEMENTS to have DR.. Miller
cared for by a physician. McCary
later was released in $500 bond for
his appearance before Mayor Shelley
L. Devier. DR.. G. N. Dewey was
surety on the bond.
DR.. Miller told Policeman Early
that the shooting was all mistake,
and that he would prefer no charges
against McCary.
MeCary fired four or five shots in
the floor of the Miller car. One bull
let took effect in the right leg. The
ball was later removed by DR..
Wright.
81 shot DR.. Miller for the good of
all concerned" McCary said after the
shooting. II did not lose my tenn
per. Had | been mad l might have
killed him. I'm glad it's no worse
There are no hard feelings on my
part"

INCREASED REVENUES FROM
GAS AND AUTO LICENSE TAX

A statement of the revenue from
automobile license fees collected for
the first five months of 1924 and the
corresponding five months of 1926
made to the governor discloses that
s3,64S,35S.61 was collected in 1925
from January 1st to May 31st, as
against $2,S71,312.63, making a net
increase of $777,0459S over 1924.
The total revenue collected in 1924
from automobile license fees was 3d.
715, 097.71. The revenue collected
the first five months of 1925 is prac-
tically the same amount as that col
lected in the whole of 1924, that is.
to be exact, only S66,639.I0 more
was collected during the entire year
of 1924 than has been collected in
1925 for the first five months.
The gross amount collected from
the gasoline tax from June %, 1923,
when the act became effective, up
to June 1 1925, is $5,S76,S29.15.
This amount does not include the
May tax, as same is not due and pay
able until June 20.
comparison of the collection of
this tax for the first four months of
1925 against the first four months
OF 1924 shows an increase of $780,
S56.40. The tax collected for the first
four months of 1924 amounted to
SS59,599.39. The tax collected for
the first four months of 1926
amounted to $996,435.79.
The gas tax for the months of Ian
uary, February, March and April is
less than any months of the year.
and with an increase of $136,836.40
for these four months over last year,
the Office expects much greater in
crease for the remaining eight
months of 1925.

JUST FULL OF BOSH
u. ]. 81

~. j. ..
One-half the world is doggone bunk,
A lot of fakes and other junk,
That people use to just get by,
And try to fool some easy guy.
This urging CAB you sometimes hear,
hear,
Makes you believe the world is queer,
When you find out that part of it
Is falsity and humbug wit.
They'll tell you of some wealthy guy,
Who throws his shekels in the sky,
And that he always makes tip
OF ten thousand bones at clip.
But when you meet this golden gink
He'll put your ideas on the blink
You'll find him just as tight as wax
And even fails to pay his tax.
They'll tell you, too, of some grand
place
That's finer than Venetian lace,
Where 'skeeter bugs and other pests
Have never built prolific nests.
Just outside the country's border
Where the climates made TO order
But sad to say, when you get there
You'll find the weather not so fair
Or that for some unknown reason
Your face changed the entire season
They'll bring you tales of some smart
bird,
Who keeps all things he ever heard
And nothing in the wisdom range
Appears TO him, the least bit strange.
Again you clamor in despair
And pull your fast decreasing hair,
When you find out with sad regret
The dumbest gink you ever met.
He does not know what "fiapper''
means,
Nor what it is to spill the beans"
Nor anything that's commonplace
His head just simply takes up space.
OH yes, the world is full of josh,
A bunch of truth and lots of bosh.

AT THE "oLD swnIMIN' HOLE

Any afternoon one may find the
old Valley Pike from Woodstock to
Pugh's Run lined with cars, Fords,
bicycles, buggies, and pedestrians,
all bent on getting to the river at
Stonewall Dam. The race and dam
are crowded with old and young, and
long before reaching the river, one
can hear them splashing and frolie-
ing as they enjoy natures favorite
pastime.
Stonewall is a popular place to
swim; there is deep water for the
swimmer and shallow for the bather.
Lee Gill and Seward Foltz have
equipped the place with platforms
diving boards and a motor launch.
The launch is for hire to private par
ties and Mr.. Gill is making special
arrangements for entertainments of
these kind of parties. A bathing
house and a refreshment stand are at
the use of the public and everything
has been done to make Stonewall at
tractive, and if old "Sol" keeps on
throwing forth the calories one will
have to make reservations in ad-
vance.

senator HI. f. Byrd Gives Teachers
Good Advice
Senator H. f. Byrd, in addressing
the graduates of the State Normal
School at Harrisonburg, Tuesday
night, said in part:
ut is not possible to imagine a
greater or more useful purpose than
that to which this splendid institu-
lion is dedicated. You are here
trained and educated that you in
turn may train and educate the chill
dren of this state. This work well
and civilization than any other sec
ular form of human activity. Like
the priestesses of old you are here
consecrated to keep alive the fires
of human knowledge. In this place
of learning you have been develop
ing your minds by a sustained effort
to perceive the true relations of
things, the knowledge of facts and
the application of mental processes
to the solution of the problems of
life. These acquisitions you will en-
deavor to pass on to your pupils.
If 1, who am mere layman in the
matter, can be heard to offer a sug-
gestion as to method of teaching,
l would say at the beginning the
most important thing is to teach
al hnxu 70 think -
me that they must first learn very
thoroughly the fundamentals of
knowledge, that is to say, the sym
bols by which all thought and knowl-
edge are expressed. That means
words and figures and their combina-
! lions. No workman can accomplish
anything without his tools, and no
child can go far without the tools of
thought. Reading, writing, and
arithmetic are the foundation stones
upon which any edifice of education
must be built
1t does not seem to me to be wise
to try to erect the superstructure be-
fore the foundation is firmly laid
These early steps of the undeveloped
mind are not easy, and l do not be-
lieve can ever be made easy. The old
maxim that there is no royal road to
learning is as good today as it was
thousand years ago.
l am of the opinion that we him
der the real education of children il
we try to teach them too many sub
jects at too early an age. They
should learn much about the few
fundamentals rather than a little
about the many things that are not
fundamentals. A child who is taught
to think and to use with facility the
tools of thought can later very cas-
lily acquire both useful and cultural
knowledge. But to teach a child
ciyics, astronomy, biology and such
subjects before the child has good
knowledge of spelling, of figures,
and of words, is like teaching him
TO dance before he has learned to
