REVIEW OF THE GRAIN MARKET

er 100000 bushels compared with a
little over 100000 bushels a year
ago when the crop was about 10000,
600 bushels larger. Export demand
continues dull, exports to date being
slightly less than 100000 bushels
compared with about 100000 bu-
shells shipped out during the cores

Der rye closed November Is at Min
neapolis at 5c-10c over the December.
No. 2 rye was quoted at Chicago at

CORN: Rains in the Central West
during the week delayed the market
ing of new corn. This, together with
continued active demand from in
dustries and feeders, held the market
steady for that grain. The bulk of
the receipts at most markets were
still being supplied on earlier sales
and offerings of spot grain were
small. Cash prices were but little
changed from a week ago at most
markets. No. mixed was quoted
at Chicago November 16 at SAC and
No. mixed at S112c-S2c; No. yell
low at S6c-SSc, No. at 82c-S3A c,

yellow was quoted at Cincinnati at
S4-S6c, No. 5 at S1c-S4c, and No. at

low the yellow. Millers were buyers
of white corn at this market. No. 9

STATE HAS SURPLUS OF
MORE THAN 100000.

Richmond, Aug. 10.-With
reduced taxes and increased
revenues Virginia today exper-
fences the unique distinction of
credit balance in its treasury
approximating 100000. It
has been customary in the past
for the state to be reduced to
the necessity of borrowing
money to tide over the lean
months of summer. This condi-
ton no longer exists. The date
of borrowing formerly started
in July, in addition to which
many of the larger public SER
vice corporations would be call
ed on to advance their taxes to
relieve the states financial
embarrassment. The new ac-
counting and financial control
system inaugurated under the
administration of Governor
Byrd and placed under direc-
ton of State Comptroller E. R.
Combs is now functioning SO
smoothly that each day a bal,
ance is struck in the fiscal af-
fairs of the Commonwealth.
Because of it's new accounting
system Virginia is now draw
ing interest on it's daily balance
at the rate of 212 per cent.
This item of interest alone,
apart from money saved in not
having to borrow this summer,
will save the state 100000
this year.

GOVERNOR BYRD
INSPECTS PRISON

Governor Byrd has just COM
pleted an inspection of the
state prison, accompanied by
Walker S. Cottrell, chairman of
the board of directors, and Ma
jor Rice M. Vowel, superinten-
dent. The executive was much
impressed with the states new
automobile license tag plant at
the penitentiary, which is now
stamping and enameling 5000
tags daily. The plant employs
thirty men. The new tags will
be slightly heavier than the
1923 tags and plainly are super
ior in quality. They are being
manufactured at an approx
mate saving of twenty-one
cents a tag, the total saving to
the state each year being near
ly $4,000. These tags were for
merly' bought outside of Vir-
ginia, the tags last year were
manufactured in Maryland.

Dickinson In
Good Shape
Financially
Settlement of upervisOr S
Will Treasurer Shows
More Than $4,000 Balance.

The settlement of the Dick
enson county board of supervi-
sors with John M. Rasnick,
treasurer, as of July 1, 1923,
revealed a balance in the treas
urer's hands. of $32,601.75.
Several outstanding warrants
on various districts will leave
the net balance somewhat less
than that shown in the settle
ment.
The settlement of the clerk
of the school boards, Miss
Catherine Clark, revealed that
the treasurer holds balance
of S23,335.68 of school funds,
with $6,064.74 warrants out
standing. The total school re-
ceipts, including balance from
the 1926-27 settlement amount
ed to S243,683.22.
The school board accepted the
transfer of the contract for
the one-room Breeding school
to w. M. Sutherland, land COM
pleted settlements on the Ram
ey Flats and Skeetrock build
ing which have recently been
completed. Extra supplies were
purchased for the schools and
plans advanced whereby ur-
gent repairs and sanitary needs
will be taken care of at once.
Options on property for the
new school near the Buchanan
county line at Fox Greek were
accepted by the board, but ap-
parent lack of finances to con-
struct the buildings caused the
rejection of bids on it. The
board ordered that the time
for meeting the requirements
for smallpox vaccination be eX-
tended to Monday, October l..
Placement of teachers in va
cancies and hearing some pro-
tests against placements pre-
viously made engaged the at
tention of the board.
Except the settlement with
the treasurer and discussion of
ways and means of financing
the proposed new jail for the
county which the circuit court
has requested be built as soon
as possible, nothing more than
routine matters came before
the supervisors at their Au-
gust meeting.

CLINTWOOD HAS GOOD
SHOW THIS WEEK

Clintwood is fortunate this
week in having a high class
bunch of performers like the
Audrey-Glynn stock company
with them. There was a very
large attendance on Monday,
the opening night, many peo-
pie coming from nearby towns
to see the performance as we'll
as the country folks from all
over the county.
All who attended were loud
in their praise of the show, de-
claring it to be the best of it's
kind that had ever been here.
There is an entire change of
program each night-good,
clean comedy as well as good
acting. Wednesday night the
play will be "Out of the past
Thursday night, ''The Hoodoo."
All who care for good, clean
amusement should see this
show. II

Proper Signals
For Drivers
A List of D0n'ts Which All
Drivers Should Observe.
(By Carter Wormeley)


The director of the Division
of Motor Vehicles desires to
call the attention of motor We
hicle owners to the proper sig
mails in making turns, slowing
down and stopping.
The laws requires all signals
given by the driver and not by
some passenger.
Strict compliance with the
law will save many accidents.
Owners in making turns
should not cut corners.
The arm extended straight
out means, left turn.
The arm extended straight
toward ground means, slow
down or stop.
The arm extended straight
up means, right turn.
Don't make careless signals
put out your arm as the law
requires and be exact SO your
signal will be positive.
Don't allow others in the au-
tomobile to give signals-let
the driver always do it.
Don't go to left side of the
road when you are making a
right turn. "
Don't go to the right side of
the road when you are making
a left turn.
Always keep to the right
side of the road except in pass
ing, then only when road is
clear, the left side belongs to
the other fellow.
If the turn is a sharp one
slow down to make it safely.
Never take chances, hoping
to get by without accident.
Those who take chances will
certainly cause accidents why
injure your car and possibly
hurt or kill someone by taking
chances.

CANADIAN BORDER
LAW FIGHT REVIVED
Attorney General Asked to
Get Reconsideration of En-
try Rule Into U. S.
b. the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Attorney General Sargent has been
urged formally by the Labor Depart
ment to attempt to get a reconsidera-
ton before the Supreme Court of the
status. of the border crossing regula-
tions at Buffalo and other points along
the Canadian boundary.
BY a decision handed down recently
the Supreme Court in effect sustained
a decision of the Federal District Court,
which nullified the immigration service
refusal to grant border crossing priv
ileges to foreign born residents of Can
ada. The District Court has ordered
the immigration inspectors to admit
such Canadian resident to the border
crossings in disregard of departmental
regulations.
The Department of Justice has not
signified as to whether it will grant the
Department of Labor request. If it does,
the petitions to the Supreme Court
may result in reopening of the en-
tire controversy
At present all native born Canadians
are entitled to cross and recrosS the
international boundary and to obtain
employment by the day in the United
States at border cities, returning to
their Canadian homes at night. The
Labor Department attempts to refuse
this privilege to foreign born residents of
Canada have occaSioned the litigation.
When two such foreign born Canadian
residents appealed to the Federal Courts
against the Labor Department regula-
lions, the decision declared the regu-
lation unlawful.
