 Loses Last Veteran

Richmond, Va, Nov. Il tP>-Vir- Einia's legislature is without a Con- f"derate veteran In it's member ship for the first time since the Civil War.
 Since the day of Appomattox. when the stars and bars were fold ed, many men who followed Lee and Jackson have aided Tn moulding the states laws. Last month Perc Bruce Young, S5, the last veteran in the assembly died. He had served four terms in the house Of delegates, and twice that body sent a petition to the voters Of his county asking for his return.

STATE OF HESSE
 BARS EXECUTIONS
No Capital Punishment in That
 Part of Germany

Washington. D. c. No. 1.-The ported to have abolished capital punishment, lies in the middle reaches of the Rhine valley and is slightly larger than Delaware.
 Though small in area Hcsse is ancient in history and important in its position at the junction of the river Main with the Rhine. The modern state was formed from the Grand Duchy of Ucssc-parmstAdt, so called to distinguish it from its neighbOr uesse -Cassel.
 The two HeSseS were formerly one but the duchios Were separated in the sixteenth century. It vas from Eesse -Cassoll, now a part of Prus- sia, and not from the modern state of Hessn that George III of England secured his mcrcenary troops for use against the American rcvolution- ists. After the incorporation of H"sse-CaSscl into prussian in 1886, csse-Darmstadt was known as the grand duchy of Hesse and later be- came a state of the German rcpub- lie, called simply Hcsse.
 State Cut in Half.
 As at present constituted Hesse consists of three provinces. Ehein- Hcssen and Starkenburg, the t.,o southern divisions, lie one on either side of the Rhine. Ober-Hcssen, cut off from these by narrow strip Of Prussia, is situated in a region of low hills which separate the val lcys of the Rhine and the Weser The whole state has the shape Of dunb-bell from which the connect ing rod has been removed. Rhein- HcsScn and Starkcnburg form one ball and Obtr- -Hesscn the other. The district surrounding the Prus- sian city of Frankfort separates the two.
 Ober- Hosscn Is an interesting country with its hills rich in iron and managcnsc and it's fields Of waving rye and barley. Gicssen is the capital and chief city of this isolated province, The pride of the town of Giessen is it's university, founded in 1907. Tn the main, how ever, Ohor-Hesscn is an agricultural and industrial region.
 Land of Historic Cities
 For romance the travoler must seek the river provinces of Rhein- Uessen and Starkenburg. Here are world-famOus for their sparkling wines and cities which date back 10 the days when the Rhine was northern frontier of the Roman Empire.
 Such city Is Mainz near the junction of the Main and Rhine Rivers, formerly one of the strong ley. Here the Roman general Drusus, stopson of the Emperor Augustus, established a camp, around which gathered local artisans and Roman traders. Thus grew up q city which later became the capital of q Roman province and the base of Roman operations. The Christian religion was introduced and after the fall of the Roman Empire the city was for centuries ruled by it's bishops. After the formation of the German Empire, Mainz was strongly forti- fled, but these Notifications were demolished in 1920. Tn recent years the city has served as headquarters of the Commander-in-C Chief of the French Army of the Rhine, known

Mr.. Strauss sought to make IT

this fact he pointed out that over
50, 900. 000. 900 of building construc-
zion had been carried over from
1925. and there would he an unusuAi
amount of public building and pub.

that many lines of private building

ASKS BREATHING SPELL

the conclusion that there should be
a temporary breathing spell in the
construction of office buildings, no.

States" Mr.. Straus declared in his
statement addressed to the building
industry of the entire country.
II am convinced of the advisa.

these types may not become abnor-
mally in excess of dem I'D. A Elk

houses or apartment hotels exists.
There will, in fact, be new pro-

SEES NO RADICAL DROP

do not look for any radical nrop in
the volume of building in the coun-

business interests Of the nation need
feel no apprehension on this point.

ELY TEAM SCORES
IN EVERY INNING

Marble, the fast team from the
western Mesaba, composed of SEMI
pro players with 'fNobby" Clark in
the box and Van Horn behind the
plate, was here Sunday and went
home with ABOUT the hardest trim
ming lucy ever got. We will say
that the pitcher and catcher worked
fine but the support accorded them
was very ragged.
Ely scored in every inning.
"Lummy'" Hill was on the mound
for Ely and put up an elegant game
and with the alright support ac-
corded him in the in and outfield
had things we'll in hand. Anthony
was behind the bat. Only twenty
batters faced Hill the first six in
nings. Aft.r the Superior Cop
ninth inning fiasco here on the
Fourth, the Ely team seemed to
settle down to actual work. H..
Chinn hit for homer in the fourth
inning with one on base. Canton
doubled in the first inning with the
bases full and scored two. Tommy
Lawrence had his batting eye and
hit every time up besides doing
fine business in the field. The
score by innings

Next Sunday the Ely team goes
to International Falls for a game
and the Falls will be here the fol
lowing Sunday. Should the roads
be in a fair condition it is antici-
pated that a large following of fans
will accompany the team to the Dor
der city. These two teams draw the
best attendance of any teams in the
northwest and display keen rivalry
on the field. Ely has defeated the
Falls in every game so far this
season but the border city fellows
promise something different fol
the coming games.
