WHAT The WAR SERVICE COST.

A favorite statement of parti.
san critics of the War Depart.
ment that over a billion dollars
was spent for aircraft during the
war and nothing done is riddled
by l.. D. Gardner, publisher CT
Aviation and Aircraft Journal,
who establishes the facts from
the official records in Washing
ton. The total cost of the Army
Air Service including expendi.
lures for all purposes, equip,
m n t, maintenance, training
fields and so on, was actually less
than S6O0,000,000,
The total appropriations for
the Army Air Service during the
war amounted to $l,6s7,O54, 1888,
Of which sum S4S7,000,000 was
revoked by Congress, leaving a
valuable for expenditure $780,
054,75S. The Liquidation Divis-
ion has returned to the United
States Treasury S582, 564, 7Sl, and
there still remains a surplus to
be disposed of.
In the United States the Gov.
ernment spent $l13,721,043 for
army aeroplanes. and received
1884 planes. 1t spent Sl39, ,OO0,.
600 abroad for training, canton
ments and equipment and other
purposes and received 5, 1913 aero
planes, making in all 1902 air
planes in twenty one months
When the armistice was signed
the United States had shipped
2,O9l airplanes to France and l..
040 were on the way. Of Amer,
ican.made machines, 667 were ir
service at the front.
All of these facts and figures
were accessible to the investigat
ion committees that the Republi
cans in. Congress sent forth ir
search of campaign material, bu

More Deaths From Autos Than Railroads

Automobile accidents in the
United States claimed 1.474 more
victims in 1919 than were killed
in accidents on American rail
ways, according to comparative
figures compiled by the Southern
Railway System from official re-
ports recently issued by the CEN
SIS bureau and the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Deaths from automobile acci-
dents showed a total of 1869, an
increase of 444 over 1913, for the
census bureaus $ registration area
comprising about 30 per cent of
the country's total population.
Sixty.six large cities had 3,S0S
deaths from ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
In railway accidents the report
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission shows that 6,495 persons
were killed, this figure being
lower than for any previous yeaf
since 1918 when the nVnber of
persons using the railways and
employed on them was much
smaller than in 1919. In the to.
tai for 1919 are included 1858
trespassers and 1882 other per.
sons, not either passengers OF
employees, of whom large per.
centage were the victims of COL
lisions between automobiles and
railway trains.
These figures show that while
the persistent effort of the rail.
ways to eliminate accidents has
been productive of splendid re-
suits in decreased casualties, the
number Of deaths from autOmO
bile accidents is growing veal
by year.

She was married to Jesse Trip

How can we grieve for her

gone from the troubles and trials
of this life to the golden shores
of a never ending eternity where
sickness and death never come
and we can meet to part no more
She leaves a husband and five

Build Sllus Early

Every cheese factory patron
having eight to ten cows should
have a silo. Those who are ex.
pecting to build a silo this sum-
mer should make arrangements
at once to plant corn sufficient to
fill the silo. For this purpose
one of the large varieties like the
Eureka, will give greatest yield
per acre.
1t should be planted in rows 3
feet six wide and from 6 to s in,
ches in the row. Planted in this
manner the stalks will be tall
but not so large around and the
tonnage per acre will be greater.
Mr.. Asa L. Wilson of Silver.
stone filled his go ton silo from
3acres of ground; Clyde Peary
of Beaver Dam, filled 40 ton silo
from two acres. Others have
done equally as well. However
the beginner should plant more
acres than the above gentlemen
used in filling their silos, for We
may not have as good a season
this year and your ground may
not be as fertile. 1t is better tC
have an acre of corn left. thar
not enough. Cooperate with
your neighbor in buying a cutter
for one cutter will fill seven o.
eight silos. If you have any
questions regarding silos, barns
or dairy cows talk with Conover

VOL. XXXII.
Blanche haga man

On Monday morning January
8, 1921 Mrs. Blanche Hagaman's
spirit took it's flight and went to
live with God. She was a woman
of very fine christian character
and an authority on woman's
work in her community, a star
in her church, and in memory of
her pure christian life we shall
endeavor to follow her example
and thereby be strengthened in
our work.
And that we extend to her hus-
band and children our heartfelt
sympathy partly realizing the
great loss they have sustained in
her death.
Sister Blanche Hagaman was
the devoted wife of Smith Haga-
man and the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. P. Sheriff. of Watauga
County. She was born Nov. Sth,
1872. She was sick only a few
days and so gently did the death
angel come that only those loved
ones who were closely watching
knew that she was passing away.
All was done that loving hands
and earnest prayer could do, but
all in vain, for God knew best.
She was a member of Forest
Grove Baptist Church, and since
her connection with the same has
been bright and shining light,
and her influence will long be
felt by those who knew her and
her Cody council among them.
The history Of her life may be
summed up in these words, She
went about doing good" Not
only will she be missed in the
home which she was the light Of
but the church, Sunday school,
friends and neighbors; for hel
home was indeed the house by
the side Of the road" She was
deeply interested in the young
members of the church, always
throwing encouragement and in
spiration around them that they
might step forward and help tx
carry on her Lords work.
And we as some of those wht
enjoyed such encouragement ant
inspiration sincerely say I'VE
sorely miss her." In sorrow
and in sunshine she was ever th'
same gentle, lovable christian wo
man. To know her was to low
her. May we be united with he
in the sweet bye and bye.

Winston-Salem journal.
North Carolina is not stinting
herself. Approximately one hun.
dred million dollars has been
made available in the state this
year for public improvements.
In spite of the temporary de-
preston in business, the State
and counties are going ahead on
a scale never before witnessed in
this Commonwealth. The fig.
ures show us that the General
Assembly of 1921 authorized two
hundred bond issues. OF these
$66, ,245.O00 were for state pur.
poses and the remainder largely
for counties and school districts.
The News and Observer tells the
story briefly as follows:
The bonds authorized for state
purposes include S50,OOO,0OO for
the construction of a system of
hard.surfuce roads; $6,745,0OO
for the permanent enlargement
of educational and charitable in.
stitutions of the state; $5,00O,OC0
for special building fund to be
loaned by the state to county
boards of education to aid in the
erection of school buildings and
"a, 100000 of 6h per cent short
term notes.
The authorized bonds for the
counties, cities and districts are
fora variety of purposes, with
schools, roads and Indebtedness
having to their credit one hun.
dred and forty of the approx
mately two hundred bond bills.
There were fifty road bills au-
thorizing a total of SIG, ,775,000 or
an average per bill of $685., 800:
SO school bills authorizing a total
of IS. 706,000 or an average of
nearly $4,000 per bill; 81 bills
for Indebtedness, either floating,
funding or refunding, which au.
thorized a total issuance of S3,
SS7 900, or an average of some
thing better than Sl25,OO0 per
bill.
In the counties of this section
of the state, there will be spent,
in addition to the amount invest.
