DRYNESS PER|LS
CORN CROP

CULPEPER, Va, July 25.-Un-
less there is heavy rainfall within
the next few days the corn crops
in Culpeper, Rappahannock anG
Madison counties will be a total
loss, as already the corn is wither-
ing in the fields. The drought
has lasted nearly so days.
Most of the smaller streams
have dried up and many of the
larger ones, such as Thornton
River in Rappahannock county
are a series of pools. On the Lee
Highway it has become necessary
to haul water for several miles in
order to bind the new macadam
road, and in Culpeper and Maoi-
son counties, the road authorities
are hauling thousands of gallons
of water on the new soil road, in
order to get it in condition for
surface treatment.
Forest fires have already done
serious damage in the mountain
sections and even within a few
miles of Culpeper, several hun.
dred acres Of timber have been
burnt over this year.
In the Nether's Mill section Of
Rappahannock county the fires
have become so bad that it is
thought that many of the people
will have to leave their homes.

Science Saves g 'Ton1n1ies
From Certain Death

NEW YORK, July 25.-Life
has been snatched from the
hands of certain death.
Something like the Legendary
miracles of revival from the
coma of death has been per-
formed by science, suggesting
far-reaching possibilities for the
prolongation Of vigor and the
length of life itself.
DR.. G. Harris, director of the
biological laboratory at Cold
Spring Harbor. L. l., revealed
that two scientists, Drs. w. w.
Swingle and j. j. Pfiffner, work
ing at his laboratory and at
Princeton University, have per-
formed the following life-saving
experiment:
The adrenal glands on both
kidneys of several cats were en-
tirely removed. Consequently, the
cats sickened and reached the
edge Of unavoidable death.
Their skins turned cold and
clammy. Their temperatures
dropped from the normal fmeas-
ured at a certain point in the
body of nearly IO2 to 95 degrees.

Colored Whisky Mash
Made Into Good"
For Breakfast,

Breakfast food from whisky
mash is the latest in dietetics
proposed for Americans.
Officials of the Prohibition
Bureau have been sent samples
of the mash which is taken
from the stills after whisky is
distilled. The manufacturers
of medicinal whisky in the
United States, who annually
distill 1000, 900 quarts Of medici-
nal whisky, propose to color
and flavor the mash and put
it on the market as breakfast
fodder.
Chemists say it will make as
good a food as many of the
other products now on the
market. Such food is now
being used in the treatment of
diabetic cases in Germany.

IS RESIGNED

SILVER SPRING, Md, July
25.-County Commissioners Ben
jamin c. Perry, Lacy Shaw and
Clagett c. Hilton have resigned
as directors of the Maryland
Publishing Company, publishers
of the Maryland News here, fol
lowing a suit filed by antiorgani-
zation candidates and taxpayers.
The taxpayers alleged t9iat the
county commissioners are violat-
ing the laws of Maryland as
stockholders and directors of the
Maryland Publishing Company
while the Maryland News prints
county public notices.
The attitude of the county
commissioners is understood to
be that their connection with
the Maryland News has never
resulted in money or business
profit to them. and that they do
not desire to continue the connec-
tion with the paper against the
opposition of county citizens.
It has been pointed out that
their resignation from the Mary
land Publishing Company does
not affect their individual lia-
bilities for past actions incident
to the work given the Maryland
News by the county commits
sfoners, and that they continue
to be liable for past actions.
