THE reason some children don't
Il eat their oatmeal without urg-
ing is that they're not given the
right kind.
There is a great difference in the
favor OF oats. And flavor, above
all things, is needed to win a child's
appetite.
Quaker Oats has a unique flavor;
rich and toasty flavor you'll find
in no other brand. That is why mil
lions will accept no other kind.
Quaker milling, too, retains much
of the bulk" of oats-which makes
laxatives less often needed. Protein.

The Democrat is in receipt of a
letter from J. K. Dixon, Chairman
of the Department of Fisheries, to
IL effect that the commission will
soon have for distribution at the
Boone hatchery 10000 rainbow fin
gerlings. Interesting it is that the
eggs from which these fish were pro-
duced were taken from the wild fish
in the State of Michigan and in the
opinion of experts along this line
fish produced in this way are stronger
and thriftier than those taken from
domesticated stock.
Mr.. Dixon states that Watauga
people have very few applications
on file at the present time for rain
bow trout and suggests that it would
be we'll for those who would like to
get some of the fish to file their

]. N. DAVIDSON
DIES SUDDENLY
One of the City's Most Progressive
Business Men Passes Away
Saturday Night

Mr.. j. N. Davidson, fo the David
son Department Store, died sudden
ly at his home here Saturday night
about - o'clock.
Mr.. Davidson had packed his bag
gage and was to have left for New
York on the early train Sunday. He
was in town until after II o'clock.
Returning to his home he went into
the bathroom where in a few mo-
ments Mrs. Davidson found him
PROSTATE upon the floor Death was
almost instantaneous and is attrib-
uted to apoplexy.
Deceased had been in Boone for
alwost five years, conducting dry
goods store and by close applica-
tion built a thriving business For
the past year Mr.. Davidson had been
interested in local real estate, owning
some of the most valuable lots and
buildings surrounding Boone and was
one of the stockholders in the West
ern North Carolina Development
Company. He was especially inter
ested in the Daniel Boone Park prop
erty where his elegant home is To-
Gated, and was responsible for the
development of beautiful Fairy View
Heights.
Mr.. Davidson, since he has been
in the city, has been one of the lead
ing citizens. Not only did he de-
vote his time to the cause of bet
ter and greater Boone, but his purse
was always open to civic, charitable
and religious causes. His last COM
munity effort was made in the in
terest of a gigantic pageant depict
ing the early days in this section
Of the country, and perhaps the idea
would have materialized had he lived.
BrOadminded, generous and truly one
of our greatest city-builders, Mr. Dav-
idson will be sadly missed.
Surviving him are a wife and three
children. Friends from various parts
of the country came and the floral
offerings were profuse and beautiful,
noteworthy am mong which were
wreaths from Watauga Lodge, A. F.
& A. NJ, and from the Royal Arch
Chapter, both of which Mr.. Davidson
was member.
1nterment was in Knoxville Tues
day. Before the departure of the
train at 6:15, among other friends
who had assembled at the home, 35
Masons accompanied the remains to
the station.
Possibly no more public-spirited or
better citizen has lived in our town
and his passing has been the source
Of much sorrow.
