America when Governor Pollard
Of Virginia in a few days will be
asked to pardon John D. Ruffner,
Of Page county, who is serving a
years term at the State Farm
for violation of the prohibition
laws.
Numerous petitions are being
circulated in this county asking
that the aged farmer, bent with
his more than four score years
and ambling around with the aid
Of canes, be allowed to come
home to die" His home is seven
miles north Of Luray, where his
wife, 7s, is waiting for his return,
believing that Governor Pollard
will look with mercy upon the
old man."
Ruffner has spent many terms
in the Page county jail for al.

laws in addition to one year at
the Federal penitentiary, Atlanta
Ga. for a similar offense. Not
withstanding. he is one of the
most popular men in Page county

.CAIRO CHEMISTS
PLAN STRIKE
Photo by International

CAIRO, Egypt, March 24.-No
ice cream sundaes. No cosmetics
nor shoehorns sold. Not even
prescriptions will be filled by the
indignant druggists of Cairo.
For they are going on strike.
Every pharmacy in the city will
close, they threaten, unless drug
gists are allowed to meet when,
where and for what purposes they
choose.
This decision has been made be-
cause the authorities banned a
meeting of pharmacists. They
had planned to call a gathering
of the clan of Cairo chemists and
talk over the troubles of their
business and the ordinances for
opening and closing hours and
the restrictions on certain classes
of drugs.
NThe poking of the government
finger into the ancient and re-
spected pharmaceutical pie is not
taken kindly by the high priests
of the chemical works.
And the independence of the
members of the drugstore verein
is no more appreciated by the
government. Druggists must not
meet tonight, says the beys and
paShas who make the laws.
Thus a deadlock. And Cairo
may have to go without its pink
liver pills and chocolate sodaS
until the battle is over.
