Drunkenness Causes Third
Of VIRGINIA Jail Terms
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, April 1O.-More
than one-third of the 72.572 per-
sons committed to jails and jail
farms in Virginia last year were
confined for drunkenness, the State
Board of Corrections announced
today
Compared with 1912, commit
ments declined by almost one-half
last year, and this was attributed by
prison officials to a number of fac
tors, including abolition of the fee
system whereby county sheriffs, city
sergeants and others were compen-
sated by payment of fees for the
caring of prisoners.
A summary of the commitments
showed 35063 prisoners were held
for the Commonwealth, 4,121 for
the counties, 26,020 for the cities,
4,l62 for the towns, 1889 for the
Federal Government, 1852 for the
Army or Navy, and Ais classified
as held for 'other" reasons. Drunk
enness accounted for 23,445 COM
mitments and 1868 for murder.

Montgomery Farmers
Hear Grange Head
Need for Machinery
Emphasized by Goss

Albert S. Goss, master of the Ma
tional Grange told nearly 100 up
per Montgomery County farmers
Saturday night that the farmer must
be given machinery, manpoWer and
a price for his commodity if he is
to raise the food needed for war.
Speaking at a meeting at the
Galthersburg High School, Mr..
Goss said that while materials are
being released for the manufacture
OF farm machinery, the manufac-
turers are more interested in war
contracts and that a way must be
found to get farm machinery back
in production.
Criticizing subsidies, Mr.. Goss said
the farmers must be given a price
which will enable them to produce
food.
Senator Radcliffe, Democrat, of
Maryland, taking issue on the sub
Sldy program, said we either would
have had to leave everything alone
with the result that prices would
have gone sky high, or we had to
clamp down" to prevent imitation.
