Red Cross Campaign
Will Begin Monday

Plans are rapidly nearing compile
ton, according to Chairman r. C.
Rivers, for having an active organi-
zation in the field in the various sec
tions of the county, for the opening
of the Red Cross Roll Call Drive,
which is scheduled for Monday. Ac-
tivities will center about Boone,
Blowing Rock, Cove Creek and Vale
Crucis, where adequate numbers of
canvassers are being selected, and in
dications are that the campaign of
this year will be outstandingly sue
cessful. 1t is to be understood that
while the main organizations are to
be established at the four places, cit
izens~of every section of the county
are urged to join and hereby each
make available one dollar for this
great humanitarian work. Local funds
are practically exhausted, demands
are heavier each year, and Chairman
Rivers feels chat the quota of 200
must be raised, during the period
from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving.
Solicitors will begin the drive for
memberships Monday. Meantime,
those so desiring are asked to mail
their dollar to the Democrat office.

Grady Barnes First
To Die in Battle

Armistice Day invariably brings to
mind those who paid the supreme
penalty during the World War, as
well as those who survived and are
helping so admirably to carry on the
affairs of a peaceful nation. The
first Wataugan to meet his death du-
ring the titantic conflict was Grady
Barnes, son of Mr.. George w.
Barnes, and the only Boone boy to
receive fatal injuries. He was killed
by shell fire on October 8, 1918,
having volunteered his services in
Battery E, 18th Field Artillery, at
the age of 18 years. He was fine
young man, a fearless soldier, and
widespread grief is recalled as the
news of his death was circulated.

BLOODED SIRES
Livestock Association, in Meeting
Saturday, Will Consider Purchase
of Carload of Purebred Bulls. Plan
Farm Institute.

According to G. P. Hagaman, sec
retary of the Watauga Livestock As
sociation, indications are that the at
tendance will be unusually large next
Saturday when stock raisers and
farmers from all sections of the coun-
ty will gather, primarily to arrange
for the purchase of a carload of line
bred bulls. Mr.. w. E. Shipley, who
advocated this movement through the
Democrat recently, is expected to be
present and supply such information
as will be timely.
Plans will also be discussed for
the holding of farm institute, per-
haps in December, to be conducted
by men of experience and training.
The institute would last for one week
and special emphasis would be given
to livestock, dairying, poultry, farm,
truck and garden crops, soil improve
ment and marketing. This service,
under present plans, would be given
the farmers free. Professor B. B.
Dougherty, president of the Normal
College, is much interested in this
work, and his influence is expected
to contribute largely to the estab-
lishment of the institute.
Farmers, stockmen and others who
are interested are urged to be pres
ent at the meeting Saturday.

Local Legion Post Drafts
Ar1nistice Day Program

Watauga boys who served as SOL
diers and sailors during the World
War are expected to come out en-
masse and large numbers of other
citizens of the county will be pres
ent at the courthouse on Monday
evening at 1870 when an Armistice
Day exercise will be held and an
appropriate program rendered. The
exercises have been arranged by
Watauga Post, American Legion,
and Commander Miller is very anx-
ious that representative members
of the various churches of the
county be present as well as all
others and take part in the exer-
cises, commemorating the eleventh
anniversary of the victory of the
Allied armies.
The program will open with the
singing of America by the audi
ence, following which the invoca-
ton will be said by the post chap
lain, Rev. W. o. Gordon.
A patriotic reading will be rem
dered by an Auxiliary member, and
Miss Ruth Isaacs, daughter of Past
Commander L. S. Isaacs, will rem
der an original recitation. Profess
sor l. G. Greer and Professor V. C.
Howell, of the Appalachian College
are scheduled to deliver the prin-
cipal addresses of the evening. The
latter saw service with Uncle Sans
forces during the late conflict.
"Uncle Lige" Norris, veteran of
the War Between the States, will
also make remarks appropriate to
the occasion.
What promises to be one of the
most interesting features of the
program will be the recital by some
veteran of one days war expert
ence in France. The program will
close with the singing of "The
Star-Spangled Banner"
1t is hoped that the Legionnaires
and all other citizens of the coun-
ty who can will be present.

ASHE COUNTY GETS
NEW GAME REFUGE
Niger Mountain Is Made Preserve
by Conservation Department. Lo-
Gated Near jefferson at New River
Source; Is Twenty-Five Square
Miles of Beautiful Country.

A recent West jefferson report to
the Winston-Salem Journal tells of
the establishment near that town of
a State game refuge. Excerpts from
the article follow:
Niger Mountain, towering up d.
700 feet above sea level, is the new
est game refuge in the Blue Ridge
Mountains and, takn from the angle
of its possibilities, is perhaps the
most important yet established by the
Department of Conservation and De-
velopment in this part of the State.
The refuge became a reality a few
days ago when the last of the land
leases were signed up by Game War
den w. j. Ray, who has been active
and untiring in his efforts to bring
the benefits of game conservation to
the County of Ashe.
Niger Mountain, a historic emf
nence extending almost in direct
line north and south, is described as
being perfectly adapted to the needs
of nearly all kinds of wild life. Dis
trict Game Warden Stepp, of Lenoir,
cooperating with the local game
warden and sportsmen, has already
made arrangements for the importa-
tion of deer, pheasants, quail and
wild turkeys. There are now a few
bear in the country and these will
also be guaranteed a safe asylum on
the Niger Mountain slopes. There
are ten thousand acres available for
the Niger Mountain refuge and if,
as now urged by some, the refuge
is extended on through the narrow
neck circumscribed by highways to
the banks of New River, several more
thousands of acres will be included.
However, it is expected that the
widely endorsed policy of the De-
partment of Conservation, namely,
to create small refugees in each coun-
ty from which game and various
species of wild life may radiate to
hunting districts in each, will be ad-
hered to in this as in other localities
Skirting its outer edges, the Nigger
Mountain game preserve is more than
fifteen miles in circumference. The
mountain proper rises between the
twin towns of Jefferson and West
Jefferson. The leases signed forbids
hunting upon the territory within
the limits of the refuge for a period
of ten years. On either side of Mig
ger Mountain the towns of Jeffer-
son and West Jefferson obtain their
pure water supply from never-fail-
ing springs of limpid water of almost
icy temperature.
In addition to its splendid hunting
territory, Ashe County is also known
as spot in the mountains where the
old phrase, a fishing paradise" is
almost literally true. Within the bor-
ders of Ashe are many fine streams,
where the rainbow and speckled
beauties thrive at their best.

KENTUCKY DEMOCRATIC

Early unofficial returns in Ken
tuclsy's legislative election indicated
Wednesday morning that the Repub-
licans were unsuccessful in their ef-
forts to obtain control of the Legis-
iature in that State. Nominally Dem
oeratic districts, on the face of in
complete returns, gave majorities to
the Democratic candidates. A few
scattered returns also pointed to the
defeat of Republican candidates who
supported the policies of Governor
Fiem D. Sampson, Republican. Two
districts that elected Republicans to
the 1928 session turned to Demo-
cratic candidates this year.
A full membership of 100 in the
house and 20 of the 80 Senators are
to be elected.
Practically complete unofficial re-
turns show that William B. Harrison,
Republican, had been reelected May
or of Louisville by an unprecedented
majority of approximately 10000
votes.

Contest to Center
On Ford Economy

Intense interest has been aroused
by the announcement by the Taylor
Motor Company of novel contest
wherein $85 in prizes are being
awarded, the winners to be deter
mined by their accuracy in guessing
how many hours one of the new
Ford motors will operate on one tank
of gasoline. A coupon for the pur-
pose is contained in an advertisement
appearing in the Democrat this week,
and they must be deposited in
sealed box.
A standard Ford motor will be
cranked at the close of guessing on
November 18th, and will be allowed
to run until the gasoline is exhausted.
Policeman A. L. Gross has agreed to
keep an accurate account of the
number of hours the motor operates,
and much interest will center about
its performance. The advertisement
sets forth the details of the contest
and the rules governing same.

Migration from Farms
Seen in a New Light
BY ARLINGTON SMITH

Those who 'view with alarm" have
made much of the great movement
from farms to cities, and have taken
it for granted that this movement
was something woeful indeed. Pro-.
fessor Walter Burr, of the University
of Missouri, sees the other side OF
the matter.
Professor Burr strikes the keynote
of his idea thusly: "Much stress has
been placed upon the fact of the
loss of population from the small
town and country area coincident
with the very rapid gain in popula-
ton in the city area. 1t is assumed
that the one is sign of decadence
and disaster and the other a sign of
progress and success. This assump-
tion may be due to the fact that in
census reports we are likely to head
one column Gain and the other col
umn Loss An increase in popula-
tion is assumed to be a gain in ev-
cry sense of the word, and a de-
crease in population is assumed to
be loss
And further, says Professor Burr
"Slowly but surely a new type of
person is appearing in rural areas
in many of our states. If it was true
that for a period of time ambitious
persons migrated from the farm and
from small towns, this does not tell
the whole story. 1t is also true that
many who were forced out of farm
ing sections merely from lack of en-
ployment, drifted naturally to the
great industrial centers where work
was more plentiful. 1t is doubt
full if among those who left the ru-
raj community there was any larger
percentage of the ambitiuos and ca
pable than of those who were below
the border line of native intelligence
and adaptability, and therefore in
capable of remaining as parts Of the
new order"
1t has been claimed that the mi
grafton from the farm decreased
the number of farms and farm fam

POLLARD WINS in VIRGINIA

fOLLAND WlNS I'm NlNSlNlA
John Garland Pollard, former pro-
fessor of law at the College of Will
liam and Mary, was elected Governor
of Virginia Tuesday in what turned
out to be a landslide for the Demo-
cratic Party. The Democratic nomi-
nee led his opponent, DIR. William
Moseley Brown, nominee of the anti
Smith Democrats and Republicans, in
every Congressional District and with
over two-thirds of the total vote tab
ulated, had amassed lead of 52,113.
Pollards election was conceded by
Brown headquarters at 10:40 o'clock.
At that hour returns from 1,175 of
the States 1858 precincts gave Pol
lard Ill 1,O79; Brown, 1866.
The overwhelming victory of the
Democratic Party was a surprise to
veteran politicians on both sides, al
though Pollard headquarters had
made predictions of a Substantial
majority" for the Democratic Cuber-
material aspirant. The campaign pre-
ceding the election was the most
spirited since reconstruction days.
Anti-Smith Democrats, organized last
year by Bishop James Cannon Jr.,
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, and other dry leaders, in oppo-
sition to the Presidential candidacy
of Alfred E. Smith, allied thems elves
with the Virginia Republican Party
in an effort to wrest State control
from the Democratic Party, which
had held sway since reconstruction.
The campaign eclpsed all previous
State contests for political oratory
and debates between leaders. Doctor
Pollard was a staunch supporter of
the Democratic national ticket in the
last Presidential campaign, making a
number of speeches in support of AL
fred E. Smith. He is "bone dry"
