TO CELEBRATE
BYRD VICTORY
Monster Meeting To Be Held In
Winchester

In the first flush of victory, the en-
thusiastic friends of Mr.. Byrd's home
city, Winchester, are planning mon
ster meeting in the near future to
congratulate Harry Flood Byrd upon
his nomination for Governor of Vir-
ginia by a victory that is sweeping
and decisive.
The Governor-nominate received
the returns at his Office, surrounded
by his friends and his family. An
Associated Press wire had been run
into the courthouse at Winchester,
and the first outburst of wild cheer
ing came when the landslide vote for
Byrd came from Rockingham and
Shenandoah counties. The cheering
was so deafening that the telegraph
operator could not hear the ticker
When Richmond announced thai
Byrd was leading by 10000, Their,
was another wild demonstration.

the telegraph wire told of his mount
ing majorities, and the enthusiasm
of the crowd increased as the Byr,
vote was piled up.
Mr.. Byrd was dominated by graft
tude for his friends for the work the
have done and felt the sense of re
sponsibility which his nomination
imposed upon him to translate tn
confidence of the people into servic
for the State.

THE PESKY FLY

ID. y. ..
The house fly used to be the pet
Of city, town and small hamlet.
No home was thought to be complete
Unless fly could prop his feet
Upon the bread or butter plate,
And promenade the things they ate
The pesky whelp was deemed to be
A sign of sociability.
Our "grandpap" loved to watch him
crawl
Up Ger the plaster on the wall,
And hear the gentle, soothing hum
AS he would buzz from crumb to
crumb.
Back in the balmy, germ-free days
The poor old fly got lots of praise.
An old bard wrote an ode of bliss
And eulogized the pest like this:
ooh! Baby, baby, there's fly!
Oh, let us watch him, you and l."
But modern Shakespeares' turned the
thing
And teach the kiddies now to sing,
"Ohl Baby, baby, there's a fly
Let's hunt the swatter, you and T.
My goodness; how the times have
changed,
And how the fly has been estranged
From all the pleasures that he had
When grandpa was a. tiny lad.
They tell US now he is the bug
That corks sweet health up in a jug
And that his toes are microbe-clad
To permeate our picked shad.
We hunt him now, fro mmorn till
night,
With every scheme that comes in
sight,
To see how quickly we can lay
His germ-filled carcass in the hay.
But still he fits and sails about
To make the housewife cuss and
shout,
And always will. as long as we
Permit his nest to go scot-free.

BIG INCREASE
IN GASOLINE TAX
Advocates of Tax Highly Gratified at
Showing

The total gas tax collected in Vir-
ginia since the law became effective
in June, 1928, aggregates S6,526,-
1852. The gas tax collected in June
1925 exceeded that collected in June
1924, by S57,S3696. In July of this
year this tax amounted to S344,-
s52.10, as against S2S7,015.14.
For the first IL months, that is to
say from June 81, 1923, to July 1.
1924, this tax totaled $2,9S6,SS3.96
From July 1. 1924 to July 1, 1925,
this tax amounted to 1855 95. Sc.
an increase of $5SS, ALTO over the
corresponding II months ago
Large Increase Shown
For the first six months, meaning
from June 81, 1928, to December 81,
1928, the tax collected amounted to
1857, 204.S9. The following six
months, that is from January 1, 1924
to July 1, 1924, the tax amounted to
From July to December 81, 1924,
the amount collected due to this tax
was s1,S93,509.40 For the last six
months, January 1 to July 1, 1925
this tax has totaled S1,6S1,

six months of this year prove no
greater than the tax collected in the
corresponding six months of last
year, which was S1,S93,5O9. this.
added to what has already been col
lected to the first six months of this
year, S1.6S1, 1896, the receipts for
1925 will amount to s3,575,295. &c.
Collection Costs Little
Estimating that the tax to be col
lected will show at least the same in
crease as from July 1, 1924 to De-
cember 81, 1924 over the correspond
ing six months of 1928, which was
1926, 304.51. there should be collect
ed $500, 6OO.1O.
Advocates of the gasoline tax are
much gratified at the above excellent
showing, particularly as this tax is
collected practically without cost, the
percentage of cost being only about
one-tenth of one per cent.

GOVERNOR BYRD

When Mapp and mud became cam
palgn synonyms, it was a foregone
conclusion that Harry Flood Byrd's
majority as the Democratic nominee
for governor would be considerably
increased. There was no doubt in
the minds of those who watched the
progress of the contest that the Win.
chester candidate would be Virginia Is
choice for Executive because he per.
sonified the things which the voters
wanted, as expressed in the fight
against bonds, and it would have re-
quired reversal of statewide senti-
ment to have nominated Senator
Mapp.
That the Accomac man suffered
from the asininity of his managers
is conceded and although he disa-
vowed the actions of his managers
in the mudslinging INDUCED in the
disavowals came late and lacked that
sincerity which Virginians have a
right to expect from an aspirant for
the highest Office in the Common
wealth.
However, by a majority unprece-
denied in Democratic primaries, a
Valley man has been chosen as the
States next governor, and everyone
acquainted with Harry Byrd, know
ing his qualifications will faal acourod
that Governor Byrd will prove to be
an executive such as the State has
long needed, sound business man,
fearless administrator and pledged
to an economical program.
With his unimpeachable character
and attractive personality he will be
an honor to the State which on Tues
day honored him.

LAUDS GAME
DEPARTMENT
Federal Warden Congratulates Vir.
ginia On Conservation

The Virginia Game Conservation
Department has made greater strides
since it's establishment a few years
ago than that of any other southern
State, William L. Birseh. United
States Game Warden, connected with
the Bureau of Biological Survey, de-
lclared, after paying a visit to the Of
fee of M. D. Hart, secretary of the
Department of Game, in Richmond.
Watched BY Nation
The work of the Virginia depart-
ment is being watched over the en-
tire country" Mr.. Birsch said. ''The
result of the application of wise laws
has been the salvation of wild game
in Virginia TO the extent that today.
the Old Dominion has more game
than many other states in the South .
The official praised the manner in
which the Department of Game is en-
forcing the closed season laws and
the laws against predatory dogs and
birds.
Il have travelled extensively
throughout the southern States in the
interest of the federal game laws. ;,
Mr.. Birsch went on, "and l find that
the cooperation the Virginia depart
ment gives us is excelled by no other
State and equaled by few"
Common Sense Used
The Federal Game Warden took
occasion to explain that the enforce
ment of the game laws was tempered
with common sense" and that Sc
we're penalties were enacted only for
willfui and malicious violations.
THE people are just coming to re-
alize the necessity and wisdom of the
protective statutes he declared.

DISCRIMINATION

Just as all roads led to Rome
in the days of Caesar, so do all
roads lead to Richmond in the days
of the present Highway Commission
ers of the State.
The entire road program of the
commissioners is studiously devoted
to road construction which will di-
vert travel from the Shenandoah VAL
ley and centralize traffic in the East
ern part of the State, or in those sec
tions where a rabbit carries his ra-
tions in a knapsack and the turtle
dove tricks westward for something
to eat
Hearken to this, There are more
people using the Valley Turnpike to-
day than are travelling any thorough
fare in Virginia. and yet this high
way has been so shamefully neglect
ed that it is degenerating into a back
woods roadway.
Why?
Thousands and tens of thousands
of dollars are being spent in con.
strueting cement and other roadwayS
in sections of Virginia where the tax
able value of the land through which
the roads are constructed are nil as
compared with the cost of the road
construction
Just why there should be discrim
ination shown and the best road il
the best section of Virginia be al
lowed to go to decay, is beyond the
comprehension of folks with ordinary
intelligence
The Valley Turnpike was turned
over to the Highway Commission
without cost as an arterial part oil
the State road system. Indeed, there
was cash surplus turned over tc
the State from toll receipts on the
turnpike
Just now the Valley Turnpike is
in condition that discredits the sec
ton through which it runs There
are enough bumps to make it an idea
pattern for roller coaster. 1t has
saw-tooth edges to wreck the re.
ligion of any motorist. 1t is as dan.
gerous in some places as the bubonit
plague. In short. this magnificent
roadway has been allowed to deteri-
crate while there is official catering
to urban influence.
Roadways at cost of thousands are
being built through Dismal Swamp
where snakes and wild life break the
monotony of land which God for
got! Highways are being construct
ed at immense cost in sections of Vir-
ginia where nothing save hell can be
raised, and yet the Valley is being
punished in appropriations for road
construction, when this is the one
section of Virginia which pays large
taxes and attracts the thousands Wis
itors from other states.

Extract from. Editorial in Rich

gust 3. 1920
Richmond faces the loss of tens
of thousands of dollars a year
through the proposed routing OF

to the exclusion of the Washington
Richmond route. All the other sites
and communities along the latter

fall to the lot of Bristol and other
places on the Lee Highway. Nor do
they contend that there is justice on
the part of the American Automo-
bile Association in the recommends
ton that it is making. But they do
resent and deplore the conditions
which have made the recommends
lions just, and are depriving this
section of Virginia of tourist travel
which, given decent road between
here and Washington it would be
legitimately entitled.
ut is waste of time to argue that
the Washington to Richmond route
should be preferred by tourists. Why
should it be? The road admittedly
is not good. 1t is made up of Sc
ries of patches, here a piece of good
road, and here piece of bad, a
product of our hodge-podge system
of road building made necessary by
the lack of adequate funds, and made
possible by the unwise Robertson act
BY long odds, the Washington to
Richmond Highway is the most i'm

ated in the interest of claims by Vir.

Therefore, l, E. Lee Trinkle, Gov

SHOWERS FOR SWINE AN AID

A shower-bath system for washing
hogs before they enter the killing pen
was recently installed in a large pack
ing plant at Salt Lake City, Utah, as
a means of improving sanitary con-
ditions about the place in general and
particularly to aid in maintaining the
scalding vat in clean condition.
Hogs normally are dirty and dusty,
and If not thoroughly washed before
killing will carry many impurities
into the scalding vat. Maintaining
the sanitary condition of the scald-
ing vat has been one of the most
troublesome problems of meat-pack-
ing plants.
The shower installed in this plant
at a suggestion from Dr. E. P. Dur
ham, in charge of Federal meat in
spection at Salt Lake City, consists
of battery of five water nozzles of
the overhead fire-extinguisher type
which can not clog by corrosion. AS
the floor of the pen is of concrete.
even the feet of the hogs are thor
oughly cleaned.
The practice has not only reduced
the contamination of the water in the
scalding vat. but has also served to
do away with the dust which ordi-
narily arises from dirty hogs, thus
protecting the employees of the kill
ing section of the establishment from
infection and irritation of the nose
and throat.
The benefits of the plan greatly
outweigh the slight expense of install
latio nand operation. Officials of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture state that the practice of
hogs prior to slaughter is
suitable and advisable in any plant,
under Federal supervision or
lot.
