COUNTY HEADS ACT.
TO REGAIN POWERS.
Group in Virginia Plan Or
uanization in Revolt
Against Laws.
py . stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY stan Correspondent OF The Star.
FAIRFAX, Va. September "a
revolt against the GENERALIZATION of the
powers and duties of county govern
ments in the State government is
planned by group Of county super
visors, who have taken preliminary
steps toward formation of an Asso-
citation of County Supervisors.
Notice of the proposed organiza-
ton and a statement of its purposes is
contained in letter received by the
local Board of Supervisors from
Charles w. Crush Of Christianburg,
secretary of the committee which has
called a meeting in Dublin September
IA. This association would become
affiliated with the American County
Association.
"Shorn of Powers"
The letter charges that a lack of
cooperation between officials has re-
suited in "the counties being shorn
of their roads, their magistrates and
practically all of their administrative
powers.
1.-THE collection of taxes has become
a State function and they are allo-
Gated back to the counties only upon
a State approved budget and audit.
The salaries of county treasurers,
commissioners of revenue and Com
monwealths' attorneys are determined
by the State, and the counties are
required to pay the amount deter
mined by the State.
"All of the powers and functions
have been taken from the local Off
GERS because we have been morgan
lied and could not properly demand
our rights. Through organization and
association we can insure to the
county population an efficient, sound,
economical government without en-
croachment by the State"
Political Prestige Lost.
In the proposed association is seen
a move to recover political prestige
which has been lost during the past
several years through action by the
General Assembly in passing the Byrd
road plan and elimination of the
fee system through the placing of
county officers on straight salary
basis.
Should formation of the asocia-
ton prove a success, it is planned to
move against the next General As
sembly in an effort to have that legis-
lation repealed which supervisors be-
lieve has shorn them of their powers.

Among the reasons cited is the

Another was the refusal of the

SQUIRRELS, MARTINS
IN SAME TREE HOUSE

When c. Ruthenbeck of Good Thun-
der, built a bird house in his back
yard this spring, he expected it to
house martins, but there was some
slip-up in the leasing arrangements
and a family of gray squirrels have
taken up residence in one of the sets
of rooms. Strange to say, family
of martins also have taken possession
in another of the sets of rooms. The
small gray squirrels are just old
enough to come out on the little porch
OF their home to scamper about, and
afford considerable amusement to the
Ruthenbecks. So far there has been
nc attempt on the part of the squir-
rels to modest the birds in any way,
and they appear to be friendly neigh
borS.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

On Tuesday of last week the inter-
national disarmament conference at
Geneva was revived after having been
Oh a vacation for almost year; about
As hours after the beginning of the
opening session, the delegates, prob
ably impelled by habit, adjourned for
another vacation, and President Ar
thur Henderson decreed that the next
session was to be held yesterday
"wednesday.
One serious trouble with the dis
armament conference during its first
year of frequently interrupted exist
ence-it began in February, 1882
was that it discussed almost every
thing between heaven and earth but
disarmament.
Now that it has been revived, it
runs true to tradition, for hardly a
word about disarmament has been
heard yet.
Opening Speeches.
Norman H. Davis, chairman of the
American delegation, was the first
speaker; he did not refer to disarma-
ment but merely restated the desire
of the United States government for
public control of the arms and mu-
nitiOns manufacture.
Next was Maxim Litvinov to whom
the world had anxiously looked as the
possible savior of the conference; it
may be that he can salvage it-but SO
far he did not say a word about dis
armament. He wanted the conference
made into a permanent institution for
the preservation of peace, and also
proposed all-around mutual assist
ance treaties.

Sturgeon Lake continued its WIN
ming streak in the Pine County Base
ball League Sunday when it defeated
Brook Park to 3. This was per-
haps the most difficult game for the
league leaders to win of any they
have played this season. Aside from
the first and second inning when the
Sturgeon boys reaped three and five
scores respectively they were held
scoreless by the down-county team. If
the Parkers could have hit the ball
more than five safe times the result
would have been different but even
though they played errorless ball
throughout the game they could not
produce the run-getting punch to
conquer.
Askov continued to win when the
home boys sent Willow River home
with the short end of a 10 to 4 score.
This victory placed Askov in tie for
third place in the league standings
