Thinking that Virginia's role
in the building Of our Republic
has been overshadowed by the
drama Of the Boston Tea Party
and the historic legend Of Paul
Revere, Agnes Rothery has di-
verted her attention from the
North to the Old Dominion.
New Roads In Old Virginia"
tell what she found starting with
the toy village Of Alexandria and
continuing g through devious
routes to Winchester.
Those who have tasted Mary
Washington's rich brown ginger
bread in the old kitchen at Ken
more will certainly want to taste
it again after Miss Rothery has
reminded them Of the famous
recipe. Those who have never
walked the mulberry bordered
streets Of Williamsburg will prob
ably wait to do so now. Miss
Rothery lot only tempts the
prospective tourist with inviting
descriptions but illustrates her
chapters with some really re-
markable photographs.
Regardless Of whether the
reader plans to take the same
trip or prefers to sit at home and
read about it, the book is still
full Of merit. The authors prog.
ress is pretty leiseurely and be-
tween landmarks such tales as
how the Old Dominion got its
name are related. This, in case.
your curiosity is piqued, has to
do with the Cavaliers Of Viz.

Business is brisk because Of
the Christmas season. Collectors
and friends Of collectors are
busily engaged in the purchase
Of stamps, not singles and
blocks, but sheets-as gifts. And
what could be more suitable for
a gift for a philatelist than
stamps?
BIG XMAS TRADE
Dealers. too, are purchasing
large orders from the agency to
stock for the Christmas trade,
which bids fair to be the largest
ever recorded.
It will be interesting to note
the comparative figures Of sales
at the agency to those Of last
year. These figures can be used
as some sort Of a barometer to
illustrate the growth Of stamp
collecting over the one-year
span.
Last year for the month Of
December the agency did an
$s6.98S business. It looks like
this record will be topped this
December.
Last year the 1-cent Army and
Navy stamps were placed on
sale in December, while this
year the Scent Virgin Island
adhesive will go on sale Decem.

Reader have a happy surprise in
store with the 1887 edition fresh
off the press.
Nor need they regard these
selections as Mr.. W's second
choice" Mr.. w by his own con-
fession couldn't cram all the
books he cared about into that
first "five.inch Shelf" For one
thing at that time, Clarence
Days "God and My Father" was
unavailable for the purpose.
Now, by the kind permission Of
Mr.. Knopf, it appears toward
the end Of anthology. Villa Ca
ther's Lost Lady," which Mr..
W. also longed to include, is
still beyond his reach. Instead,
we have Miss Gathers 1.-TWO
Friends"
A SAMPLE OF VILLA GATHER
This brief but unforgettable
story is what Mr.. w. regards as
a sort Of a signpost. A sample,
in other words, which will send
each and every reader straight
way to the library to get more
Villa Gather. The same may be
said Of DR.. Eckstein's "Joe." Mr..
w. inserts it here hoping that
everybody who likes 1t will set
out at once in quest Of "Can-
ary."
'The Second Reader" in short.
is to serve as a literary spur. It
must be admitted that Mr.. w.
having read less than some and
more than most" is ably fitted
to apply that impetus.
HIS TASTES ARE WIDE
AS he says himself, he has
been deplored as being "incor.
rightly miscellaneous" That his
tastes are wide is perfectly true.
Bloodcurdling mysteries and the
most delicate type Of whimsy
win his endorsement. It doesn't
matter what is done Just so it is
done well. He probably could
not tell anyone what sort Of
books he liked until he read
them. And he wouldn't care
what they were about when he
did. The new assembly includes
Ernest Hemingway. D. H. Law
renee, Dorothy Parker, r. L. Ste
venson and Edith Wharton in
addition to the authors men,
toned above.
Have no fear Of selecting the
Second Reader" for someone as
a gift and discovering that the
someone has "read everything in
it. "The Hemingway story, for
example, was first published in
1925. Not many people know it
which is enough for Mr.. WIS
zeal to be aroused. Mr.. w. prides
himself on bringing back the
stories which have a way of get
ting out Of print or are seldom
found. The Second Reader is
an excellent example Of that.

Additional conferences will be arrang-

IN FARM LOANS

G.N.S.) Farmers and stockmen
will borrow more money next year
than they did this year, but there
will be plenty available at low in
tereSt rates, the Bureau Of Agricul-
tural Economics predicted today.
Rising farm production costs,
and need for replacements and
additions to equipment after the
depression are expected to in
crease Short-term borrowings by
10 per cent, the bureau said.
Demand deposits in country
banks in 20 leading agricultural
States were higher in July
than ever in history. They were
5.4 per cent higher than the aver
age for the five pre-war years Of
1914 to 1919, and more than lis
per cent higher than in the low
year Of 1882.
At the same time, farmers have
reduced their short-term loans,
and generally have been paying
off their mortgages. Farm mort
gageS-to Federal land banks, in.
surance companies, commercial
banks, joint stock land banks and
State credit agencies-have been
reduced almost $400, 10000 since
1882, the bureau reported. New
mortgages have fallen off from
1891 ,225, 900 for the first six
months Of 1884 to $418, 1877 900 for
the first half of this year.
