SQUIRREL SEASON OPENS

Nimrods with penchant for the
sylvan rodent with the long, bushy
tail got busy Monday oiling up guns
for the slaughter of this class of
game. The season opened Tuesday
and long before daybreak the woods
were filled with squirrel hunters. No
reports of unusual slaughter of the
tree rabbits" were brought in.
1t would be well for hunters to thor
oughly acquaint themselves with the
hunting and trapping laws. which can
be obtained from the Bureau of Game
and Inland Fisheries at Richmond. A
license is a prerequisite to hunting,
and the lack of possession of such
license may result in fine of many
times the cost of such license.
They are supplied by the Clerk of
the Court, Otto v. Pence.

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER A, 1925
ANTIQUATED METHODS DEAD

Today is the day of progress
Anticipated methods of doing things
will no longer advance any town or
community. In their time, our an
cestors may have had extraordinary
progressive ideas and may have been
considered ultra modern as business
men, doctors, lawyers and the like,
but what good can their conception of
progress do us now in these days of
good roads, electric lights, better wa
ter supplies and rasping radios?
The quicker we let go of the remi-
niscence of the days of harmless flies
and long boards, the better for us.
Grandfather didn't care anything
about water supplies, smooth streets
or cooperation, and naturally didn't
know anything about them, either, so
consequently we should not let his
influence direct us in our business
affairs, our civic improvements or
anything that leads to the moderniza-
ton of our towns and communities.
The sooner we realize that what was
good enough for grandpa and grand
ma, is not good enough for u.s." the
faster will prosperity come to our
country.
1t is well to honor and respect our
forefathers. for they were the step
rfpu cfapae ,,nop Witch -, ,,,ado~,,
civilization was constructed, and the
ideals and traditions which they
handed down to us should be fostered
in our memories; but to use their
ideas as models in our present-day
affairs is very unwise.
Another thing: people are getting
tired of historical relics. Recently,
a gentleman from New Jersey came
down to view the wonders of the
Shenandoah Valley. According to
the good old idea of hospitality, he
was Immediately taken to one of our
battlefelds to have the monuments
pointed out to him. After he had
been shown about half a dozen and
had listened to an hours discourse
on historical facts, he said: Gentle
men, appreciate all this, but my real
object in coming down here was to
see your beautiful country. New Jer-
sey has monuments galore!" What
we need is less historical marking
and more opportunities for folks to
make living. This is the reason
that people ars passing US by, for
Florida, California and New York
This is the reason that our young
men are leaving their native sod to
locate elsewhere. What we want to
do, is stop the world from calling
us qaint and old-fashioned, and make
it think of us as live wide-awake
country.

BISCUITS VS.. BIOLOGY

Bright-eyed girls and grumpy boys
will in few days trek schoolward,
and settle down for the winters grind
for mental grist They will learn
that the pons asinorum is not tooth
paste and that palaentology has
nothing to do with radio.
Some of them will learn to read
Cicero upside down, and many of
them to conjugate faster than ma
chine guns barked on the Meuse.
A few will learn to spell correctly
and others will acquire the habit of
writing legibly.
In few years they will hop astride
of their ambitions and ride to fame,
fortune or failure
Just now they will be building; and
the building material used means
their success or submergence in the
game of life, for the diploma which
is eventually placed in their hands
will be but the accumulation of
knowledge gained in the formative
and developing periods of their lives.
Which reminds US
That the curriculum of the schools
might profitably be subjected to a
surgical operation and. at least, the
useless appendices removed from the
body educational, without hurting
the efficiency of the schools.
Granting that all knowledge is
broadening and that study stimulates
thinking, why not present such
studies as will be of potential and
practical use in the struggle which
means the survival of the fittest?
Why spray the space between and
above the ears with a smattering
knowledge of a dozen different olo-
gies when concentration on a few
worthwhile studies would better fit
them for the future?
Somewhere in the higher spheres
of our educational system some force
dictates the course of studies in pub
lie schools. a course which makes
book publishers wealthy, parents
poorer and children bow-legged. At
the apex. something is wrong with
the system which changes, adds to
and burdens the public with book
buying every year.
1t isn't the fault of your County
superintendent, nor does the blame
lie with your School Board. They
have enough burdens to bear and suf-
ficient sins Of omission and commits
sion visited upon them by school
patrons. and an effort to please all
of these patrons would result in not
pleasing any of them.
But this is depression.
The point is, eliminate such stu
dies as are of negligible benefit and
substitute something beneficial.
A girls knowledge of ailimenta-
ton without some idea of the prepar-
alton Of nourishment is incomplete.
1t won't hurt her to learn to cook

WRITER VISITS
JUDGE HAY
Former Congressman Spends Vaca-
tions In Madison

1t has been so long since ex-Con-
gresham, now Judge James Hays
constituents in Shenandoah County
have heard from him, that the fol-
lowing letter in the Page News and
Courier will prove of interest to Her.
aid readers:
"A citizen of Luray who called at
the quiet home of Judge and Mrs.
James Hay at Madison a few days
ago, found our former congressman
well and greatly interested in his old
friends in the district. Judge Hay
sits on the bench of the U. S. Court
of Claims continuously for eight
months. From July to November,
while his court is not in session, he
is to be found at his home at Madi-
son, where he began the practice of
law as young man. Judge Hay,
during his long career in Congress,
became acquainted with thousands of
the electorate and he still remembers
them and makes many inquiries
about them He retired from Con-
gress about 10 years ago, having ac-
quired national reputation as a
statesman and legislator, and is still
firmly entrenched in the confidence
and esteem of the people of his dis
trict. If he serves another year on
the Court of Claims, he will be enti-
tied to retire on full pay for life.
Those best acquainted with him do
not think that he will be content to
give up an active career. All of his
life he has been remarkable for his
systematic and diligent dispatch of
business No man was ever quicker
to answer a letter than Congressman
/ Hay, and no constituent was too hum
! Bile to fail in receiving his courteous
attention. He had the ability to say
yes and no, definitely and concisely
Many people judge congressman by
these things. To his gift in dispos-
ing of indispensable details, Mr. Hay
added marked ability for public af-
fairs. His honored and exalted ca
reer on the bench is a quiet sequel
indeed, for one who was so much at
home in the atmosphere of legisla.

and sew and do Homework.
Just as well have a knowledge of
biscuits as biology.
And the boys
Many young man is square peg
in round hole, just because a good
bricklayer was spoiled to make a me-
diocre lawyer. There are physicians
who would have served mankind best
as plasterers, and even some preach
ers might have been worthwhile as
puddlers.
Which brings us back to the basic
thought.
Teach the practical things; the
things which will be met in every
day life, and even though man
should be a better laborer with the
education he gets in our public
schools, he too often feels that he
knows too much to work.

WAIT TILL HE GETS THROUGH

The poor old gink who goes about
With truthful words his aim,
VIII find that when his lights go out,
He'll have no glamored fame.
Good folks who have the truth in
mind,
And hold to honest facts,
VIII always be ten miles behind
These boasting human quacks.
No matter how blame hard you try
To make your tales secure,
There'll ever be some know-all guy
To make your views absure.
No matter what great things you've
heard
No matter what you've seen;
When you compare, with some wise
bird,
You'll find your knowledge lean.
So when you have some yarn to tell
And want to join the race,
Just keep it meath your hat a spell
And hold a clam-like face.
Let other chaps go show their stuff
Just wait till they get through;
Then you can make yours large
enough
To keep your prestige, too.

Wrigley, the chewing gum man,
has explained how he built up bust
ness of millions of packages a day.
He has done it by sticking to his
one line and advertising it. He spends
over a million dollars year in buy
ing newspaper space to tell the world
about scent chewing gum. He has
educated people to chew gum and to
chew Wrigley's. He did not stop
shouting as soon as he attracted at
tention.

ENGLAND WANTS APPLES

Virginia apples will find large
outlet in the markets of Europe, es-
pecially England. if indications gath
cred by the federal marketing ex-
perts mean anything. Market special
lists who have recently returned from
European countries declare that ap-
pies will yield about half a crop in
all the countries of Europe, and that
the demand for American apples will
start early and will doubtless con-
tinue steadily.
Germany will begin taking volume
of American apples earlier than last
year and if the market is handled
judiciously, the experts say, will take
steady consignments in greater vol
ume than during 1924 A heavy crop
of apples in Nova Scotia, it was said,
will somewhat Offset Virginia's short
age.
Virginia apples. have been moving
to English markets for more than
half a century. AS methods for re-
frigeration and storage have i'm
proved, prices have tended to climb.
and at present Virginia growers are
securing faneier prices in many in
stances in England than would be
received in the United States.
The shipment of a barrel of Abe
marie Pippins to Queen Victoria,
many years ago initiated the great
apple trade of Virginia in the British
Isles. The great queen was well

RUSS PRINCE TO

Washington VIII have an OPP.
portunity to see one OF Rdssia's
exiled nobility in the role Of a
dancer, when Prince Rouffat Bel
HaliIoff will appear at lie
Paradis next Tuesday night as
a featured entertainer.
Prince Haililoff comes to Wash
ington directly from long engage
ment at the Alhambra Theater
of Paris where the exotic novelty
of his Russian dances registered
a notable triumph with the
sophisticated Partisan public. The
group of dances which the prince
presents were originated from
dance motifs used in the Russian
peasant dances and also from the
lesser known but more sensa-
tionaI dances of the gypsy enter
tanners who were the favorites in
the cafes of st. Petersburg under
the Czaristic regime.
Prince Haliloff will appear at
lie Paradis at midnight and
is scheduled to remain in Wash
ington for ten days.
