SEEKING FUNDS
Shenandoah County Shares In Benef-
icent Work Done by Institution

A campaign is now on in Winches-
ter, Frederick County and contigu-
GUS territory for funds for Winches-
ter Memorial Hospital, and thousands
of dollars are being contributed to
care for the needs of this institution.
Because of the area which now de-
ponds on this hospital for the treat
ment of the sick and cases demand
ing surgical attention. the present
plant is inadequate to meet the de
mands made for disqualification.
Shenandoah County has shared in
the beneicent work done by Win.
chester Memorial to an extent which
the layman does not appreciate, and
because of it's accessibility, it's splen.
did corps of surgeons, its fine body
of nurses, and its environment, Win
chester Memorial has been a godsend
to our citizens. Without making in
vidious comparisons, this hospital il
one of the best in the South.
To Shenandoah County it has beer
a boon and a life-saving station fal
beyond the comprehension of those
who have not had the opportunit,
to study the great good it has done il
this section. Just ask your local doe
tor. He will tell you.
Shenandoah County viii be called
upon to give to the fund to increas,
the efficiency of this hospital Ger
tainly those who have been benefite,
by the hospital will be glad to donat
to the fund.
There should be an open-hearted
whole-souled response to the S. o. S
from Winchester Memorial. 1t i
not money-making institution. l
was made possible by the gifts of it
friends. 1t is kept going by the do
nations of humanitarians. Winches

If you are asked to aid in the cam
paign, don't hesitate, but give all tina
you can. You may hoard your shek
els, but don't do it-give to some
thing which ameliorates human sui
fering. Give it now. There are n
pockets in a shroud.

SONG OF THE TREES

The Song of the Trees" as given
lin August McClure's Magazine. is
worth preserving. 1t is:
"Ye who pass by and would raise
your hand against me, harken ere
you harm me. / am the heat of your
hearth on the cold winter nights;
the friendly shade screening you from
the summer sun: my faults are re-
freshing draughts quenching your
thirst as you journey on.
II am the beam that holds your
house, the board of your table. the
bed on which. You lie, the timber that
builds your boat. am the handle
of your hoe, the door of your home
stead, the wood of your cradle and
the shell of your coffin.
II am the bread of kindness and
the flower of beauty. Ye who pass
by. listen to my prayer: harm me
not"

HIS RELIGION
PARAMOUNT
Bryan Never Compromised With OPP
ponents of Bible Teachings

William Jennings Bryan as man
whose religious faith was built upon
the rock of ages and whose political
faith was such that he threw away
a crown" because sshe would rather
be right than be President, was eu-
logized by Congressman William D..
Upshaw, of Georgia, in memorial
services for the late leader Sunday
at the Tent Evangel, New York City.
The Bryan memorial service was
to have been the opening of fun
damentalist campaign in New York
by DR.. ]. Frank Norris of Fort Worth,
Texas, known as the Texas Cy-
clone" in evangelical circles, but he
was prevented from coming by illness
and the campaign was postponed.
Congressman Upshaw styled both
Bryan and Clarence Darrow, defense
counsel in the recent evolution case
at Dayton, as ''titans of brains. logic
and eloquence." But" he said,
organs house was built upon the
rock of ages and Darrows on the
shifting sands"
While Bryan, from his boyhood,
trusted Christ "as a personal savior,
said Mr.. Upshaw, barrow confessed
ly left Christ out of his heart and
life" He charged Darrow with in
gviting the youth of the nation into
a great spiritual Sahara"
The Rev. Mcpherson, of the Tent
Evangel, had previously called Bryan
a friend of science who was contend
ing for science as do all lovers OF
TRUTH
Mr.. Upshaw asserted that the
Commoner literally had the Presi
dency within his grasp" when he re
: turned from his tour around the
world, but that actually threw ava!
ia crown because in his attitude to
ward great economic question, ht
would rather be right than be Presi
dent"
: He quoted Bryan as having said il
: Atlanta in justification of his stant
on government ownership of rail
roads, having reached conclusion
after investigation / would be un
worthy of the position of Leadership
which l have been entrusted if
were to allow any personal or politi
cal consideration to influence me il
my attitude or action"
The dead statesman's staunch adj
vocacy of prohibition was lauded b!
Mr.. Upshaw.
Il wonder how many signs of re
lief have been breathed in the grea
wet centers since the great, eloquen
: prohibition tribune breathed his last
They are sorry he is dead and say
beautiful things about his brilliant
ability and his consistent sincerity
. but they find themselves visualizins
a season of peace since the danger
GUS disturber' is gone. He delayed
his aggressive espousal of prohibi
ton with the hope of getting his

battle royal against the liquor inter
ests, but when the final break came

CUT PAYROLL
OF EMPLOYEES
Uncle Sans Civilian Army Is Being
Reduced BY Coolidge

The army of Uncle Sans civilian
pay roll has been reduced in six and
half years since the armistice to so
per cent of its war size. But now.
despite the Coolidge economy, its
ranks are increasing again.
The Federal Government. which
just before the war. had more than
100000 civilian workers in its en-
ploy and at the war peak nearly l.
100000, finds itself today with a pay
roll of about $4,000. This is an in
crease of more than 1000 over the
number of job-holders on the pay
roll when President Coolidge entered
the White House two years ago.
Changes In Recent Years
On June 80. 1916, there were 49,,
057 eivilia nemployes. On Armistice
Day, November IL, 1918, this mum
Der had increased to s17,760. Or
June 80, 1928, two months before
Mr.. Coolidge took office, on the deatf
of President Harding, there were
54S,531 civilian employees, and b,
December 81, 1928, the number hat
been reduced to 544,671.
But since that date there has beer
steady increase in the ranks of tn,
Government workers. There wer,
554,9S6 on the pay roll June 80
1924; 556,619 December 81, 1924
and 556,0s5 February IS, 1925.
Situation at Capital
This is the situation in the coun
try at large. AT Washington, wher,
like an army the vast clerical fore
moves to and from work the reduc
ton has been a bit more insistent
and there has been a small net de
crease since Mr. Coolidge entered tn
White House.
But. generally speaking, reduction
seems to have been at about rat
that may be regarded as the post-wa
normal
The greatest part of the increas
over pre-war pay roll has taken plac
in departments and offices where tn
chance principally is attributable t
to the war, as in the case of tn
Treasury Department, with its bur
den of tax duties added since tn
war, the War Department and tn
Veterans Bureau.
Postoffice Leads
Nearly three-ffths of the total ciyj
list throughout the country is com
posed of the postoffice force, the in
crease in WHICH is virtually constan
through the years, as business ex
pands. 1t is the only Government
department in which a constant in
crease can be estimated
The country evidently must max
up its mind that instead of the pre-
war normal civilian pay roll of 400,
600 Uncle Sa mnow normally EN-
ploys about $1,000.

Wilson, y. c. Kingston took the place
of Petersburg. The league has made
a fight to live and has a heap of base
ball sentiment surrounding 1t.
There is a Class c in the minor
leagu base ball and q Class D. and
the other day, so to speak, the officials
of the minors had SO much business
on their hands because of the ramifi-
cation Of their duties that they
wanted "a Class + TO be put into ac-
tivity which would embrace the base
ball that is now out of any classified
tion and which would be almost the
home town base ball.
There is u league in Florida, one in
the Carolinas which is known as the
ton out in the Southwest where the
tops of the Ozarks roll their brilliant
foliage into the sky line.
There is Il league in the Appala-
chians which invades the mountain
tops Of Virginia and Tennessee. and
there is one in the Blue Ridge which
has more scenery attached to it than
any of the larger circuits of the East.
Out III kentucky there is a Blue
Grass League, and It is in blue grass
country, too, and there is circuit
away down in the cotton States.
"Sho" League Has Fun.
Another OF the smaller leagues is
that of the Eastern Shore, whose cir
cult is down in Maryland and Della
ware. In this circuit they play base
ball for fun and potatoes, and they
have as much fun when the cham
pionship season is over as any league
in base ball.
The Kentucky Illinois = Tennessee
League has a long name. and it is
made up of towns down around
Egypt" They get some good ball
players out of that part of the world.
too.
There is Mississippi Valley League
which is in the neighborhood of the
Dubuque part of the world, and for
downright, deep-seated base ball en-
thusiasm there is none that can sur
pass this section.
When the game began to spread
it took a terrific grip on that part
of Iowa and Illinois. The old-time
players We're from Rockford, which
had one Of the best clubs that any
town ever had, and Comiskey got
his start in this vicinity, along with
Tom LOTUS, splendid manager. 1t
was here, too, that Ted Sullivan, an
early promoter, got much of his first
base ball experience.
Some More Groups.
There was a Tri-State League out
West. There has been an Oklahoma
State League, and there is a South
western League, which can 80 some.
There is a Texas Association and an
East Texas League.
There will be new leagues this year
and the year thereafter, and now and
then one of the older may disband.
Leagues come and so. and each leaves
behind 1t some base ball enthusiasm
from which eventually new league
springs.
If any Of the players in these little
leagues happen to be particularly
good, there will be some one around
to find it out. and the first thing
the ballplayer knows he is on his way
to the big show, just as Iris Speaker
got aboard from Hubbard City, Tex,
and Rogers Hornsby also sprang from
a little Texas town.
