They were summoned to appear before justices of the peace in Bland and nearby areas for trial, with the incident stirring local anger. An armyworm pest is devastating Shenandoah Valley crops, moving in solid phalanxes through barley fields. Southwest Virginia farmers fear spread. King Edward opened the world economic conference amid rheumatism concerns, seen by some as a poor fit for wartime leadership. In nearby Bandy and Bluefield areas, about two hundred young men in reform camps show eight desertions so far, with several boys from Bluefield reportedly thriving in camp life. The camp experienced a brief quarantine due to measles but the youths remain well cared for and fed.
