Baer returned to his back-hand'

Gould hollered to the referee to
make Max stop it. The champ
feigned grogginess but I was hep
to that and walked away from
him. In a head-to-head mixup at
close quarters, Baer drove in sew

Baer dug two long leftS into my
body in the ninth. Then he
landed an accidental foul. He
apologized and the referee warned
him again. The foul didn't
amount to much. We locked
heads and punched away at the
body. was a little tired but came
out of it after Baer belted me on
the lug. I retaliated with long
lefts to the face.
I jabbed three light let's to the
head beginning the tenth. Max
was getting rough but he was
missing badly. He just couldn't
get himself set, for I'd break up
his attacks with that busy left. I
kept popping him on the nose and,
try as he might, he couldn't keep

Baer came in to do or die in the
tenth. He landed a right and left
on the head. I jabbed three light
lefts to the head. He was high
with a right to the head. We
mixed it up plenty. There was a
DOT of infighting which the crowd,
especially in the far reaches,
couldn't see or appreciate.
I was told to coast in the
eleventh and twelfth.

warned Gould. you're winning
but be careful"
The good old left came to my
rescue in the eleventh and twelfth.
Baer tried with all his might to
break down or through my guard
but all in vain. Meantime my left
hooks to the body kept firing him.
The thirteenth found me fresh
as a daisy. It was then I realized
for the first time I could go 20
rounds. Two left hooks to the
head stopped Max dead in his
tracks when the fourteenth round
opened. The crowd was yelling to
me.

FAR OUT IN FRONT
I was in trouble in the fifteenth,

tried to win by a knockout, the
only way he could because I was
far out in front on points. He

and placed two straight lefts on
the head. I rocked him with a

NAME YOUR FARM

Several counties in the state are
putting on campaigns for improving
the appearance of farms and one
form the campaigns have taken is
the putting up of attractive mail
boxes in place of the old wooden or
tin one that is an eye sore rather
than thing of beauty. Another twist
to the campaign is the naming of
farms, with the name of the owner,
on an artistic sign somewhere near
the mail box.
The counties putting on these cam
paigns have county agents who are
promoting them, but. We might take
page from their book and do the same
here. Our homes should be places of
which we are proud and where we
enjoy living. We spend life times in
them.
Think up a suitable name for your
farm and get one of our local artists
to make an attractive sign board for
you. Then look at your mail box and
see if a little work would not improve
its looks considerably.
Almost all of the farmers in the
campaigns now on are selecting pic
turesque names suggestive of the
nature of the farm, the products
grown, or the name of the family
living there. A few examples are:
Sunny Brook, Oak Mob, Flint Hill,
Greenfelds, Shady Dotte, Springdale,
Rocky River Farm, and Sunnyside.

MRS. w. WALLACE CLAIMED
BY DEATH ON APRIL 10TH
Mother of Large Family Succumbs
to Long Illness; Funeral Services
Held at Bristol Friday

Mrs. w. w. Wallace, well-known
resident of the Jefferson community
died at her home on Wednesday,
April 10, after long illness. Funeral
services were held at the Bristol Bap-
fist Church, Friday, with Reverends
G. R. Stafford, R. H. Stone, and A. C.
Ashley officiating. A choir from West
jefferson rendered some very fitting
songs.
Before her marriage in 1883, Mrs
Wallace was Miss Eta Nye. It is an
interesting fact that she and Mr.,
Wallace lived their entire married life
in the home where she died. She was
known as a good housekeeper, a
faithful and devoted wife, and low
ing mother.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Wallace
is survived by eleven children: Mrs
Dora McNeill, West Jefferson; Walter
Wallace, Glade Springs, Va; Mrs
Jessie Blevins, Silas Creek; Mrs
Rhoda Goodman, Jefferson; Mrs
Nora Goodman, West Jefferson; Mrs,
Annie Shatley, Jefferson; Miss Mamie
Wallace, Jefferson; Mack and Frank
of Seattle, Washington; and Tom and
Emmett, of Jefferson. She is also sur
vived by one sister, Mrs. Emma
Moore, of Castlewood, Va; two half
brothers, John Nye, Of West Jeffer-
son, and Lee Nye, of Tennessee, SO
grandchildren, and a great grand.

now to make plans to take advantage
of the opportunity for civic improve
ment that is soon to be available.
"The time for communities to act
is now, stated Mr.. Booker, "mass
meetings should be called by the
leaders Of unsewered and unwatered
communities in order that there may
be crystalized community sentiment
in favor of public water supply and
sewerage system. Many communities
in the state have already obtained
such public he nth safeguards
through Federal grants, and Federal
financing on the most attractive
terms ever available to municipalities,
and there are many other places in
the State that want such convent
ences They can have them," asserted
Mr.. Booker, eff they get busy and
put themselves in position to accept
the benefits of the Government I'm
employment Relief Program"
Already the State Board of Health
has dispatched form letters to promi-
nent persons in North Carolina towns
who do not have public water supply
and sewerage systems, directing at
tention to the fact that such facilities
are soon to become available almost
for the asking.

OPPORTUNITY is KNOCKING
AT OUR DOORS

When the government first began
spending money in this county, the
sum of seven hundred dollars was
said to be available and it was decid-
ed to use the amount for schools.
Accordingly, the superintendent of
the county schools worked out plan
of distribution. Each principal who
received a part of that money was as
pleased as Punch over getting even
a little help from this Santa Claus
source. Since that time-three years
thousands and thousands of
dollars has been spent in the county
on schools, roads, and other public
improvements.
Now comes a message from the
State Health Department stating that
the unusual is soon to happen in that
opportunity which is reputed seldom
to knock twice is again to strike at
the door of communities that desire
water works and sewerage facilities.
While Ashe has no large town, she
has several little communities that
might do we'll to look into this propo-
sition.
According to Warren H. Booker of
the State Board of Health there are
many towns in North Carolina that
for one reason or another during the
past 10 months have failed to- have
public water supply and sewerage
systems installed as unemployment
relief projects. In the immediate fu-
ture, however, it is anticipated that
such communities will be able to OBJ
tain Government funds for such con-
struction. It is almost certain that
the provisions of the huge five billion
dollar unemployment relief bill just
passed by Congress will enable many
towns in the State without such con-
veniences at present to acquire pure
and wholesome public water supply
and adequate sewerage systems.
In order to be prepared to obtain
such systems through Government
aid it is the opinion of Mr.. Booker
that towns should begin at once to
make plans for. such work. After the
announcement of the terms upon
which such systems can be obtained
there is sure to be a demand for
competent engineers that cannot be
met. This will mean that those COM
munities that have not acted prompt
ly will have to delay the submission
of an application for funds until ade-
qnate plans for such systems can be
prepared. Towns, and unincorporated
kpnmunifies eligible for organization

Writing in The State, Lieutenant
Governor Graham gives easy expla-
nation as to why the legislative ses-
sions of today last longer than the
sessions in the past. It is simply be-
cause of the larger business problems

THE NEGRO MOUNTAIN ROAD

The $4,S8O,OOO,OOO relief bill that
has been sponsored by the President
is fast being put into action. This
sum of money is so appalling that
the average mind does not compre-
bend how much it is, but it is a reali-
ty and we will come in for our share
of this stupenduous amount. How we
can spend a part to the best advan-
tage is strategic point well
worthy Of consideration.
Solitary and alone in it's majesty
stands the Negro Mountain, towering
well above it's neighboring hills. If it's
natural scenic beauty were developed,
it would prove one of the most covet-
ed spots of mountain scenery from
the Great Smokes to the Shenandoah
National Park. The development of
this mountain would make itself one
of the greatest public assets that
could come to Ashe county.
A good road to the top of the
Negro, with the natural stretch of
practically level land on it's top devel-
oped, and the motorist could imagine
no more picturesque Or facinating
spot. Thousands of people would visit
us every season and thousands of
tourist dollars will be left in the
county,.
The best minds in the county
should put their wits together and
resurrect the Negro mountain road
project that was started more than
year ago but died through lack of
enough right-of-way and too much
jealousy from other parts of the
county. AS county newspaper, we
feel that anything, in any part of the
county, that is good for that spot is
for the good of the whole county. One
has only to examine the tax books
of the county of Allegheny and real
ize how much the Roaring Gap play
ground owners contribute to the
treasury of that county in actual
money, to say nothing of the summer
tourist trade it brings in.
This project would not only put US
on the map as a Mecca for the tour
lists and sight-seers, but it would give
employment to many men in this dis
trict. No private or personal interests
would be served and the entire county
would reap rich reward.
