Richardson ground squirrels,
commonly called gophers, are
beginningtto make their spring
appearance and farmers will do
we'll to start poisoning work as
soon as these rodents become
active. This rodent mates early
and has one litter a year rang
ing from 4 to 8 in number.
When numerous these rodents
are destructive to crops and
range forage, but by using pois-
oned oat bait their numbers
may be controlled. Because ro-
dents are known to be spreaders
of such diseases as tularaemia,
spotted fever and bubonic
plague, care should be taken
not to handle these squirrels
and other rodents.

The use of lights Is not gen.
orally recommended for brooder
houses because as a rule poul-
try growers are prone to give
too much light without proper
shading, says Miss H. E. CuSh-
man, extension poultry special

growers. When lights are used
the chicks become restless dur
ing the night and do not make
proper gains. She even recon-
mends darkening the brooder i'm
the middle or the day and
thereby force the chicks to take
a nap. An old hen does about
the same thing by calling the
youngsters to her several times

EASTER PARADE CALLED
OFF DUE TO HEAVY SNOW

Just when all local weather proph
cts had begun to predict the COM
ing of Spring, and just when all
early gardeners were setting on
ions, dropping potatoes and SOW
ing lettuce, Clintwood and vicin-

fall continued thruout the day and
far into the night, and a depth of
about four inches was reached.
Easter bonnets were not as con-
spicious as usual. and many of
the. f.airer sex wished for ear
muffs. Heavy winter coats and
galoshes were in vogue again.

w akenva Girl
Injured By
Rolling Log

Miss Fller Long, 20 years cl !
of near Wakenva, was severely in
jured when a log rolled OYER her
last week.
She was treated at the Coeburn
Hospital and is now IecIpera:lng

suffered several bone fractures
and her right leg is still useless.
Miss Long, with one Of hcl
brothers, was working in a "ne,W

log on the hill above and it rolled
over before she could escape. She
was thrown against a pile of lash

the impact, and probably saving
her life.

was slain from ambush by moon

two or three parties were sentenc-
ed to long terms in the peniten-

Bill, with an oath or two for en-
phasis, as he started toward the
box car at the next stop. When
Bill reached the door and looked
in, he beheld an evil looking six
footer comfortably seated, with a
black handle-bar moustache, typ
zeal of that era, and most impress
sive Of all, the handle of a huge
revolver protruding from h e
shoulder holster he wore. After one
look at the man, Bill, the conduc-
tor, lost TO time in returning to
the train caboose.
"Well, Cap,'' said the brakeman,
"I reckon you put him off all

D.E.A. Holds
Annual Spring
Meet Saturday

y
The annual spring meeting of
the Dickinson Education Associa-
ton was held in the auditorium of
the local. high school last Satur-
day morning, with about one hun
dred members present.
Nominations for officers for the
next two year term were made at
the opening roll call. Nominated
and elected by reclamation were
Corbett Reedy, president; S. Wal
ter Deel, vice president; Virgil
Souders, secy-treas.
Most of the time of the meeting
was consumed in hearing reports
of the work of standing commit
tees during the past year. and a
special report of the committee on
the revision of the D.E.A. hand
book. The report of the Resolu-
tons Committee brought forth
rather heated argument. The res
olution of particular controversial
nature was one proposing an am
endment to the constitution of
the Dickinson Education Associa-
ton making membership in the
Virginia Education Association OBJ
fional with the teachers Of Dick
enson County, and reduce the
dues of the D.E.A. from one dollar
and fifty cents to twenty-five
cents in order that the teachers
could effect all savings possible to
pay for coal they have to buy each
year. This resolution carried by a
small margin in a standing vote.
Another resolution demanding
local governing bodies to apply
the increase in salaries as voted
by the State legislature to teach
ers' salaries alone and not to 9TH
er items in the budget.
DR.. Luther Richmond, state SUI
pervisor of music was present for
the meeting and led the group in
several songs.
Lunch was served by the DIM
homemaking classes under the
of Miss Elizabeth Buck
ley.

Sometimes rivaling Mark Twain
stories of steamboat days on the
Mississippi are the stories old tim
ers tell of the early railroad days
on Big Sandy River in Kentucky.
In those days railroad men were
beset with all sorts of situations,
some of which they had to shut
their eyes to, but which would not
be tolerated today. One of these
stories follows:
When the Chesapeak & Ohio rail
way started operating trains on
Big Sandy, nearly 40 years ago,
trainmen literally had their hands
full trying to preserve a SEM
blance of order on the trains.
Especially was this true when raft
hands, who had been down the
river with RATS of timber, crowd
ed the passenger trains on their
return, after having literally
''ranked up at one OF the many
saloons in Catlettsburg before
boarding the train. In addition the
freight trains were frequently
crowded with hoboes seeking fre~
passage up and down the river.
The railroad company determin-
ed to break up the latter habit,
and orders were issued to the
trainmen to eject every hobo
found on their trains, with the
proviso that the trainmen would
be held strictly responsible for the
enforcement of the order.
One day, soon after the order
was issued, just after freight
had passed Prestonsburg, KY, the
conductor, brusque old railroad
err, called Bill, was advised that
hobo was making himself at home
in one of the box cars of the
freight. At the first stop he sent
brakeman to eject the trespasser.
in short time the brakeman re-
turned and advised the conductor
that he was sorry and all that but
that he just could not carry out
his order.
"Why can't your" demanded the
irate conductor.
"Well, to tell the truth" ans
wered the brakeman, "the minute
I saw the man I recognized him
as cousin of mine and I just
didn't haze the heart to put him

House Farm Leaders
See Little Chance
For Certificate Plan
Jones Says Program
Should BIunket All
Major Crops
By the Annotated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Despite, . strong Endorsement by
Secretary Wallace, House farm lead
ers said today there was little pos
sibility that Congress would approve
the certificate plan Of providing
permanent agricultural subsidies.
Secretary Wallace recommended
the plan to the House Agriculture
Committee yesterday, saying that it
would produce q more regular in
come for farmers than fuctuating
appropriations and that it appeared
far superior to other farm aid pro-
posals.
Chairman Jones, Democrat, Of
Texas Of the committee contended,
however, that 1t could not be ap-
piled to corn and hogs-and possibly
not to export cotton.
We've all got to be together be-
fore We can 60 to the House with
a general program" Mr.. Jones said.
why should we advocate one thing
for wheat, cotton and rice and an
other for corn?"
Mr.. Jones said that since there
are so many competitive products
for corn and hogs, the plan could
not be applied to them. He added
Evening star., 1940-02-16

that the salne argument held, to Q
lesser degree, In the case Of cotton.
especially for export.
Secretary Wallace asserted that
the ecoromic effects Of the certifi-
cate plan and the ir,valdated pro- >
easing tax would be the same, but
the legality Of the former was
apparent.
"A marketing certificate plan
would achieve the benefits Of proc
essing taxes without entailing their
dificulties," he said. mo appro-
priations would be required for .
marketing certificate program; the
certificate requirement would not be
a tax; the program would be based
on the power Of Congress to regulate
commerce"
Meanwhile, q group Of farm State
Senators and House members was
reported to have agreed to seek an
immediate $50, ,000, 900 increase in
the current $500, 900 900 appropria-
ton for soil conservation benefit
payments.
Representative Cannon, Democrat,
of Missouri said that farmer COM
pliance with the A. A. A. programs
had been, greater than anticipated,
and that, without the addition, the
Agriculture Department would run
out Of funds in about two weeks.

current. fiscal year, would provide
funds to start work on 10 combat
ships, 5 auxiliary vessels and 352
additional airplanes, as well as to
continue work on 70 warships and
18 auxiliary vessels already under
construction.
The House yesterday heard Chair
man VinSon Of it's Naval Committee
condemn proposed construction Of
rs. 5.000-ton super-battleships as "ex-
tremely unwise" at this time. In
Withholding most of the funds
sought for two new 45,OOO-ton
battleships, an Appropriations Sub
committee had urged the Navy to
determine whether bigger ships
would be preferable.
The Senate recessed for the week
end after passing the 81, ,032, ,784, Ills
Treasury and Post ONCE Depart
ments appropriation bill yesterday.
Although the measure carried about
5000 900 more than the House voted,
it still was slightly more than $11,-

West Virginia said: "Our State is
headed back to the Republican
ranks. Certainly the fact that many
thousands Of coal miners are sick Of
New Deal promises will not hurt
us any"
"The swing toward the Repub-
lican standard in Washington is
very noticeable" said Miller Free
man of that State. Personally I
am in favor Of an early convention.
We have job to do, and I, for one,
believe we should take all the time
we can to do it."
Stopping off en- route to a South
ern speaking trip, Frank Gannett,
publisher and presidential candi-
date, echoed Mr.. Hamilton's s
thoughts Of a third Roosevelt can
didacy.

est way to get rid of him, not only
as President but as a menace to the
restoration Of the Democratic party
to its true principles and its hon.
ored leadership OF the past" MIR.
Gannett said.
Mr.. Gannett disclosed he would
not contest for delegates in any Re-
publican primaries, but would de-
pend on support in the convention
from uninstructed delegations. He
estimated that there would be more
than 300 unpledged delegates west
Of the Mississippi alone.
The committee members were
guests last night at a reception
given in honor of Senator and
Mrs. Robert A. Taft of Ohio by
Mrs. Katherine Kennedy Brown,
