on Electrificati ton
Meeting to Be Held in Jefferson
Monday, October 10 to
Complete Survey

manifested in the rural electrical
ton project for Ashe county, accord
ing to c. J. Rich, county agent who
is lending all his efforts toward
furthering the project. A few town
ships have not turned in their re-
ports but it is hoped that they will
complete and turn them in at once.
A meeting is to be held next
Monday, October 10, at two o'clock
in the afternoon in the courthouse in

been making the surveys are invited
to attend this meeting and all others
who are intensely interested in the
program are urged to be present.
Mr.. Rich states that the findings
obtained thus far from the surveys
turned in are promising as to the
number of houses per mile, but he
calls attention to the fact that big
job is yet ahead before the project
is complete and approved, and he
urges the citizens to attend the
meeting and to help in the making
of plans to put the project through
in good shape at an early date.

Lansing Trounces
Wilkesboro Team
Ashe Team Makes Preparations
for Real Battle With Elkin
at Lansing on Friday

LANSING, Oct. Lied by their
fast-eAarging elusives quarterback
and captain, 15O-lb. Ramon Moore,
the Lansing High School Bull Dogs
defeated the powerful Wilkesboro
High School eleven on the Iatter's
field last Friday by 60 score.
Wilkesboro had previously beaten
Taylorsville High School 1910.
Early in the first quarter, Wilkes
boro attempted pass deep in their
own territory. Moore intercepted it,
and four plays later ran IL yards off
left tackle to score. He was aided in
this touchdown jaunt by fine block
ing on the part of Louis Childrey,
blocking back of the visiting eleven.
Bill Clark barely missed making the
extra point by a plunge through the
eft side of the line.
Thereafter, Lansing threatened to
score several times and at the end
of the half the ball was resting on
the home teams 5-yard line. The
soggy field was severe handicap.
The second half was mainly play
ed around the middle of the field.
Wilkesboro made very determined
effort to tie the score in the fourth
quarter when they competed three
passes for Is yards and gained five
yards otherwise by running play
to put the ball on Lansing's 29-yard
line. There the attack begged down
when another running play failed to
gain and passes were ruled in
complete. Lansing took the ball and
the whistle stopped another would
be scoring march just 5 yards short
of the last white stripe.
Moore was the Lansing power
horse of the day. Clark and Blevins
also did excellent playing.
Plans are being completed to ac-
commodate large crowd in Lansing
Friday of this week when the Lam
sing Bulldogs will face the strong
Elkin team on the Lansing field. A
real battle is in store for the fans.
Last year the local eleven defeated
Elkin 60, but both teams LIST several
veterans by graduation, but the Lam
sing boys are expected to keep the
''Buckin' Elks' attack pretty well
bottled up.

Supervisors Visiting
Ashe Farmers in Soil
Conservation Project
Agents Says There is Yet Time
to Fill Out Work Sheets and
Build Up Land
&C. J. RICH)

The farm for which work sheets
have been filled are being visited
by the men who are to determine
what the farmers have done to earn
payments under the provisions of
the soil conservation program.
Payments are to be made for soil
building practices done between
Jan. l, 1886, and Oct. 81, 1886, but
no payments are to be made unless
a work sheet has been filled out. The
amount of payment to any one farm
is limited by the number of acres in
soil conserving crops in 1886 seeded
on land that had a crop harvested
from it since JAM l, 1880.
There is time yet during October
to fill work sheet out and to apply
lime or to do other soil improving
jobs. If any farmers have not filled
out a work sheet he should be sure
to fill one. He may have already
earned payment.

resented by John Gentry, took the
lead this week in the popularity con-
test that is being sponsored by The

high school to raise as many as fifty
subscriptions to the county news
paper by canvassing their respective
sections.
Turn in Reports Each Week

their subscription list each week, on
either Friday or Saturday. The re-

ed to pick out their favorite and
help them win by subscribing and
asking their friends to subscribe to

and the contest is open to each high
school!
