Wolves on the Increase.

Wolves are at the doors Of civiliza-
tion. In all the continents of the world
except Africa. where most wild AMI.
mails flourish, but, curiously enough.
this sinister animal never has had =
foothold. wolves have been increasing.
and II II estimated that there are more
Of these beasts In the world today than
At any other time In history. This a..
tonishing fact Is engaging the atten.
tion Of naturalists. scisntists and farm.
ers the world over. for 1t Ia regarded
a. an III omen.
What has caused this remarkable In
crease in the wolf packs; As In most
Of the other undesirable things that
have happened since the war. the
blame can he laid directly on the
World war, which made the hunters
Of wild beasts hunters Of men," After
every war In history Of the human race
there has always been increase In
wolves. but there has never been so
marked an Increase Ms after the World
war that nearly destroyed civilization.

WATAUGA MAY GET
FISH HATCHERY
Decision of State Commission Large
ly Upon the Inducements Offered
BY Local Citizens.

According to the latest adv;ces to
the President of the Chamber of Com
merce from the State Fish Commits
sion, that body may be more or less
favorably inclined toward establish
ing a fish hatchery in this section.
The other point under considera-
ton. is in Allegheny county, and the
citizens. having offered free of all
costs the necessary lands selected by
the commission, it is now rather up
to- the people of this section what
shall be done. Before we will stand
equal chances with the, neighboring
county, it will be necessary for us
to. offer equal inducements. An ef-
fort will be made by the Chamber
of Commerce to interest the county
commissioners in helping to buy sui
table lands for the location of the
fisheries, and if nothing can be done
it is probable that the money will be
raised through private subscriptions
If this could be landed It would be
one more thing worth while for this
county, and every effort possible il
being put forth to bring the Commits
sion to the fullest understanding o.

MILES LOVE MAKES
ESCAPE FROM JAIL
Murderer of His Own Child Now at
Large-Parties of Officers Search
Fer Slayer in Vain.

On Thursday night Of last week
one Miles Love held without bail on
the charge of numbering his own child
and young fellow Baldwin Feder-
al prisoner charged with violating
the prohibition laws, made good their
escape from the Jail in Boone.
Mr.. Hayes, the jailer, who was
called away hurridly, failed to lock
them in the cell, and they had moth
ing to do, later in the night, but re-
move a few brick under window,
and pass out, without the knowledge
Of the other ten prisoners incarcerat-
ed there. The escape Of Love is in
deed deplorable as he is considered
a desperate character and is charged
with the most horrible crime imagih-
able. Of course the officers made inn
mediate efforts to recapture him, but
as we understand it, got no accurate
clues as to his whereabouts. In fact
to capture him now would be about
the same as trying to catch a fox in
the mountains. 'f
However the officers will do all in
their power to catch him, and we car
| or,y hope that he will be brought to
lstice.

Plans are going forward rapidly
for anal Community Fai rat Cove
Creek High School on next Thurs
day October 4th. The various COM
mittees are at work and interest is
growing every day. 1t is hoped that
every home in this entire section will
be represented in the exhibits of some
one or several of the departments.
Everything produced or manufac-
tured on the farm will be accepted.
On account of it's length the COM
p,ete premium list will not be pub

can secure copy for their direction.
In addition to what is printed on the
premium list, (Which includes the
pantry, sewing, kitchen, mechanical,
field crops, orchard and garden truck
and vegetables and flower department
there will be premiums awarded On
livestock, poultry and relics. Just at
this point perhaps it would be well
to state that the premiums this year
will be blue and red ribbons.
Special attention is called to any
thing in the way of relics or antique
things that you may have that would
be interesting to show the contrast
between the present fcustomC and
those of the past. Any old piece of
furniture, clock, gun, uniform, sword
kitchen utensil, farm tool, family
heirloom or other article of histori-
cal Importance would be gladly ac-
cepted.
Attention is also called to the me-

THE FORD is GUILTY OF
ANOTHER MISDEMEANOR

We thought the Ford had been
guilty of everything in the catalogue
but now we have something new that
it has gone and done. A Fordson
tractor is running a kraut factory.
When you visit the kraut factory
you will at first be mystifed at where
the power is coming from, but if you
will go under the floor you will find
an innocent looking little Fordson
sitting there singing a little song as
it keeps the room above full of noise
and excitement. There are ten belts
that have to be pulled and it seems
that great deal of power would
be required TO drive them,. but we
are told that the Fordson is throt-
tied down as low as they can get it
and it still pulls everything at the
desired speed with apparently no eff
fort. 1t seems that the Ford has done
everything now except run hot dog
anC dill pickle factory and we are ex-
pectipg to hear of that any day.

MANY SCHOOL TEACHERS
ATTEND BOONE MEETING

A county wide teachers meeting
was held at the court house on Sat-
urday September %. Superintendent
Hagaman tells US that the attendance
was good, almost every teacher in the
county being present.
A number of subjects relating to
the welfare of the public schools
were discussed by the teachers. Rev.
Huggins conducted opening exercises
made a good talk on ''the Teacher
as a leader" Importance of Super
vision of Play was discussed by M.
H. Norris and Walter E. Wilson. The
fact was brought out that the law
requires that the teacher must be on
the play ground at the noon hour.
Miss Annie Stanbury talked on
"How to Keep the Community Inter-
ested in the School" (Which Governs
Better Smile or Frown" was dis
cussed by J. Frank Wilson. ''How l
Teach History" was presented by w
Y. Perry who is teacher of History
in the Cove Greek High School. How
l Teach Health" was discussed by
Miss Theodosia Watson. Importance
of Daily Preparation" was discussed
by Walter E. Wilson and others. Eff
fects of the teachers personal habits
was discussed by Ron Davis.
In addition to these excellent ad-
dresses, the Reading Circle work was
arranged for this year, also reports
by the teachers from each school on
the progress and problems of each
added much to the interest and profit
of the meeting.
The discussions were largely by
new talent and were of very high
order. These meetings are very in
spirational as well as educational to
the splendid teaching force of our
county. A number of visitors were
present. These are always welcome.
