for doing the things she wished

for doing the things she wished
to do.
If. in what seemed like another
life to her now, she had gone back
to the studio apartment on the
East, river to spend her evenings
dreaming happily of her future. it
was a different kind of dreaming.
Less practical and more heart
warming, the first had been. But
the routine was the same.
Lying in the huge old-fashioned
bed with sketches and notebook
beside her at the end of the days
during that first September, she
didn't dream; she planned.
And during those days, let us
look at her. Mary Barrett with
the copper curls, less cared for,
brushed away from her face and
pinned neatly to keep them out OF
her eyes. Her eyes are often ha-
raised. There is so much to do.
Trying to accomplish three things
at once. Anetka wants her tea
made, a scone toasted. The tink-
ling bell announces that someone
is on her way up the narrow
stairs. Gabrielle cannot be trusted
to see that the gas is turned off
under the iron on the stove which
waits for Mary to press the orchid
organza with loving strokes.
Anxious to please. And more
Importantly, anxious to accom-
plish much. Eager hands skill
fully plying a needle with the
tiniest of stitches; snatching a
precious sketch before it is lost
under a bolt of fabric, welding a
dust brush carefully over the clut-
tering objects in the showroom"
Feet in sensible shoes taking
hurried steps from workroom to
front room, running errands to
find a piece of lace, bit Of fur.
That was Mary Barrett at the
end of September when Mark
Sutherland flew to London and
thence sailed to America-Mark,
to whom she owed more than she
knew.
But it was a changed Mary Bar
rett you would have seen in
Anetka's shop by the end of
November. It was a changed shop,
and that was Mary's doing.
There was the same furniture,
covered now neatly with tete de
nigre and turquoise slip covers.
No longer were there hassocks to
trip over, dusty bolts of fabrics
to be moved. The glass over the
photographs shone clearly in the
light. The mirrored wall was pol
ished. Deep yellow silk lamp
shades cast a golden, fattering
glow over the room.
And at the now tidy and bust
ness-like desk in the corner, Mary
Barrett, in a black silk apron,
bends over an account book, vets
the point of her pencil with her
tongue. and grins satisfactorily.
For an instant. she frowns, try
ing to remember which of the
three seamstresses has been as
signed to Mrs. Hartman's beige
jersey. She makes quick deci-
sion to tell M. du Lac that unless
he gives her professional dis

Propst Explains
'3S Farm Program
Community Meetings To Be
Held In Near Future. De-
tails Outlined.

County farm agents and commit
teemen heard j. A. Propst, of State
College, give a detailed description
and explanation of the 1888 farm
program, at the courthouse in JEFF
ferson Monday.
In many respects, the new pro-
gram is the same as this years,
with the major difference being
that individual crop goals are set
up instead of figuring on a base
acreage basis and payments are
made for not exceeding these goals.
The amount of the payments is
practically the same.
In the county last year there were
694 farmers who co-operated and
received benefit payments in the
amount of $21,843.O0. This year
there are over 100 cooperating
and it is hoped that a much larger
number will sign up for next year
and cooperate in reducing surplus
es, and raising the prices of COM
nodities, as we'll as receive pay
ments.
Mr.. Propst said that the program
has two main detectives: first, to
raise farm income by stablizing
production and second, to build up
and conserve the soil so as to pro-
vide for the future welfare of both
growers and consumers.
''It has been pointed out that
when crops are over-produced, sur
pluses pile up and farm income goes
Wn," he said. Farmers are I'M
able to buy as much as formerly
nd business in general Stacks of"
Community meetings will be held
in the county in the near future for
the purpose of explaining the pro-
gram. Dates and places will prob
ably be announced next week,
County Agent c. J. Rich states.

L lansing Officer Was
Bound Over Under A
Bond OF $1,000 Fri.
Charged With Assault With In
tent To Kill For Shooting
John Baker.
HEARD BEFORE TUCKER

In a hearing before Magistrate
H. c. Tucker, held in the courtroom
III Jefferson last Friday afternoon,
Jfficer Wiley Campbell, of Lansing,
was bound over to the next term
OF criminal court, under a bond of
1000, for shooting John Baker, of
Warrensvil1e.
The Lansing officer is charged
with assault with a deadly weap-
on with intent to kill, resulting
IN serious injury. A large crowd
of people from the Lansing and War
rensvil1e communities were present
for the hearing and number Of
witnesses testified.
This unusual case, which involves
many legal technicalities, developed
on Saturday night, July 10, when
Officer Campbell took a blackjack
away from Baker near the cafe in
Lansing. Baker protested, but
Campbell refused to give it back
to him as it is unlawful to carry
such deadly weapon. According
to the evidence, he did not, how
ever, place Baker under arrest.
The Warrensville boy then went
to his car and got a crank wrench
and his companion, Paul Miller, got
tire tool. They returned to where
the officer was and requested that
he give them the blackjack. Upon
being refused, they struck Campbell
over the head and the officer drew
his gun and shot, the bullet going
through Bakers abdomen and strik-
ing the spine. His condition is now
improved, but he is still partially
paralyzed. On the other hand,
Campbell also. sustained head in
Charges were lodged against Mil
Ter and he was convicted and fined
for assault with a deadly weapon.
He was not present for the hear
ing.
Campbell was represented by
Bowie and Bowie and Ira T. John
ston, while Gov. r. A. Doughton
and w. B. Austin represented Bak-
er. Campbells bond was reduced
in half.

Final Notice Is
Given Taxpayers
All Ashe Citizens Who Owe
Back Taxes Should Pay AT
Once And Save Money.

In order to save delinquent tax
payers of Ashe county who owe
back taxes for any of the years
from 1923 through 1885, the added
expense and embarrassment of
foreclosure actions, final warning
for them to pay up promptly was
released this week by County At
torneys w. B. Austin and Ira T.
Johnston.
The time limit, as prescribed by
law, for the payment of taxes for
these years, is expiring and the list
of foreclosures is now being made
up, but by paying promptly, all de-
linquent taxpayers can avoid this
action.
At least two notices have been
mailed to these taxpayers and
many of them have already re-
sponded. By extending the time as
long as possible, the county officials
are not only trying to collect all
back taxes, but also to give the
taxpayers as much consideration as
possible.
eve appreciate the fine cooper
alton from many taxpayers and we
hope the others will pay up at once,
and save this extra COST" County
Attorney Johnston said.
By paying taxes for the current
year this month, Ashe county citi-
zens will also be taking advantage
of small discount. This discount
period ends December 1st.
