SERENADED NEWLYWEDS

In the wake of wedding bells which
recently rang out for Mr.. Isaac H.
Harris, other bells aroused the cit
liens OF Woodstock on Monday night
at late hour, when an old-time bell
ing was pulled off by many of Mr..
Harris Woodstock friends The bells
used in the serenade were many and
varied, ranging from the tinkling
sleigh bells to the large variety with
which kline are burdened as they wind
over the lea. To add discord to the
lack of harmony, shotguns were used
and for a time it seemed as if a sham
battle was in progress on the heights
overlooking the town Everybody, in
Guiding the bride and groom, enjoy
ed the occasion.

1 LIKE THE FOX CHASE BEST

Some folks may like famed Sousa's
band,
And John Mccormick tenor songs.
Or Kriesler's skillful, master hand
Upon the Wins magic thongs.
Some folks may like church chimes
and such,
Or jazz hounds with their lively
speed;
But no notes give my heart the touch
Or satisfy my music need,
Like yelps from Tip, old Drive and
Lade,
Pursuing Reynard DER the hills
That's all the concert serenade
need to give me added thrills.
Some folks may like the game of
golf,
That ancient, stately Scottish sport
A privilege we should not scott,
Nor make fun of with smart retort.
Some folks may like to play baseball,
Or football. of the fiashy kind;
But Gee! oh Gee; no sport at all
Can beat fox with hounds behind
When morning sun first tips it rays
Upon the frost-kissed hunting
grounds,
Just let me there and spend my days
With flying fox and long-eared
hounds.

WHY BE PoRCINE?

There is a class of people in every
community and in all sections who
have deified the dollar to such an
extent that the eagles wings are OF
more import to them than angels
wings, and the only incentive which
they might have to reach heaven
would be a possibility to share in the
gold with which the celestial streets
are paved. They pursue their porcine
way through this vale of tears grunt-
ing, grabbing and garnering. forget
ting that it is but little journey to
the rainbow's end, and that the
wealth of Croesus, Henry Ford and
John D. Rockefeller combined could
not purchase an asbestos suit which
would stand the test of the eternity
towards which they are headed.
We are complacent in our pitable
belief that we have been innoculated
with an everlasting life which begins
and continues here on earth, never
stopping to think that there is coffin
just around the corner and a judg-
ment beyond the shadows.
No sane man will question the ad-
visibility of laying aside a compel
ence for old age Everybody will
agree that saving and economy are
the handmaidens of happiness in the
trek towards the twilight, but no one
save those whose ingrown bristles ir-
ritate mankind, can condone the
miserliness of the men whose sole
object in life is the accumulation OF
wealth.
boarding warps the soul, makes
the heart callous and atrophies the
brain, and men whose lives are cir
cumscribed with the dollar mark are
misfits in an age of universal broth
erhood.
We know men, and so do you, who
have become wealthy as wealth il
measured in coin of the realm, whose
purse strings are Unmatched when op
pOl dlLoCo " oCAfCS nhOct
hearts respond to calls of suffering
and who serve God through bani
accounts.
They are not worshippers of Nam
mon but in actuality are trustees o.
wealth which is beneficent to man
kind.
There are others, though. wht
would fly through the flames of hel
on waxen wings to grab a dollar OIL
the farther shore, and they tottel
along towards the tomb disconsolate
disappointed and despised.
Humanity and not hoggishnes
wins and holds friendships and tn
respect and admiration of your fel
lows. and there is not enough golC
in the Klondike to compensate tn,
miser for the loathing of men.

TWO MEN

The one was reared in refinement
and culture. He was associated with
all the forces that work for the ad-
vancement of humanity Education,
a clean environment and wealth had
been his. All through life he had
known that supreme human emotion
which often directs the destinies of
men, the love of a christian father
and mother for a child. Honesty,
obedience, patience and politeness
were drilled into him day after day.
Transgressions were smoothed with
kindness while good deeds were en-
couraged with the deft words of love.
From such home and from such
circumstances he was sent to college,
then to university, where he came
under the influence of the great in
structors at these institutions. OF
course, after he finished his school
work and hung out his single be-
fore the admiring and encouraging
home folks, they hailed him as a
splendid citizen and as an asset to the
community. He was; and there were
no good reasons why he shouldn't
have been. Had not opportunity been
such to make him so?
The other was raised under diff
ferent conditions. In a howell, with
poverty and want his associates.
where Christian love was unknown,
where thievery, falsehood, deceitful-
ness. were drilled into him day by
day, where the only visible kindness
existed in the form of kick or cuff.
From such a home he was turned
over to the world, and consequently
it called him bad man; an undesir-
able. And nothing more could have
been expected of him. Had not his
opportunities been the kind to make
him so?
Lest we forget. when we hastily
condemn some one, that there is a
difference between the opportunities
folks have had Lest we forget that
many of the bad people of the world
have been trained that way, and IL
we are "our brothers keeper" then
we are responsible.

The reformation or the discontinue
ance Of the fee system in many OF

many of them, rightly or wrongly

To obviate even the appearance O.
self-serving enforcement of tn,

Byrd will render no greater service t.

Over Thousand Women Fail to Pay
Capitation Taxes-S4O Men

Nineteen hundred and fifty-eight
citizens and citizenesses of Shenan-
doah County are DISTINGUISHED be-
cause of the non-payment of capita
ton taxes. OF this number, $40 are
men and 1898 are women With an
approximate vote cast of 5000 it will
be seen that at least one-third of the
voters who could qualify are non
participants in elections because of a
failure to pay the $3.50 capitation
tax. 1t means too that the school
fund, on returned capitations, and the
amount allocated for educational pur.
poses has lost S2937 through the de.

50O-BARREL MILL
is DESTROYED
Monday Morning Fire At Shenandoah
Does Thousands OF Damage

The huge 500-barrel plant of the
Shenandoah Milling Company is in
ruins, and half block on the oppo-
site side of the street swept clear OF
buildings as result of disastrous
early morning fire Monday at Shen-
andoah City. Property valued in ex-
cess of $4,000 was destroyed in the
most costly confiagration in the Nor
folk and Western Railroad towns
history. The damage is covered by
insurance. How the flames started is
a mystery.
Originating about 1870 o'clock in
the middle of the western side of the
big mill, which occupies the blum
overlooking the N & w. tracks, just
south of the railway station, the
flames were blown across Front
Street and before a stiff breeze sub
sided the garages of Huffman Broth
ers and of the milling company,
dwelling house owned by Mrs Elsie
Kite, of Harrisonburg, and Bowers
paint shop were in ashes The east
ern, or upper side of Front Street
from Woodley's grocery at the top of
the hill down to the Masonic Hall at
the base, on the main road leading
under the railroad bridge, is a mass
of ruins.
No Water at First
Lack of water at first handicapped
the voluntary firemen and the blaze
spread rapidly throughout the wood
en- part of the Shenandoah Mill and
into the new brick addition, and it
then jumped across the street. First
arrivals at the scene declared that
: had they had sufficient water, the
flames would have been confined to
one small section of the mill struc-
J, ture. AS it was, the water supply
failed when the electric pumps
ceased to operate, as the power lines
running the mill had to be cut. A

in the United States Navy and Gov
ernment astronomer at Mare Island,
Calf, announced before the Cali
fornia Academy of Sciences here yes

In summing up his case against

among what he termed its chief

The confusion of the curvature sur

The unauthorized extension of
Gauss equation for the double
curvature of surfaces in space to

The doctrine of the radius of world

that because circle on the surface

Time to Inoculate
Seeds for New Fields

"Legumes such as peas, vetch, clio
yer, alfalfa, sweet clover, beans, and
soy beans, should always be inoculat-
ed when planted for the first time on
new fields" says s. G. Vandecaveye,
bacteriologist at the State College Of
Washington. Cultures of nitrogen
gathering bacteria for inoculating
legume seed can be secured from the
State College now.
Land that has previously grown
these crops, according to Mr.. Vande-
caveye, is also often benefited by seed
incubation, because many times
these bacteria die out gradually soon
after the legume crops have been re-
moved.
The work of these legume bacteria
is to gather nitrogen from the air to
feed the plants. In doing this they
conserve soil nitrogen, cause material
increase in crop yields, and may spell
the difference between success and
failure If the land is poor.
The price for enough culture to in
oculate seed to plant an acre is small
The orders with the remittance should
be addressed to the Farm Crops De
partment, State College, Pullman
Washington, at least ten days before
planting time. Full directions for the
use of the cultures are enclosed with
the parcel.
