I figured, Of course, that would be-
working part q each year to pay
back the money that Is being bor-
rowed now. But someway did not
get excited about the whole thing
until this latest set Of government
stastics was released by Acting Dr.
rector Daniel Bell, Of the Budget
bureau.
learned from the treasury that
right now the per capita national
debt amounts to $285.70. That Is to
say, without borrowing any more or
spending, each man, woman and
child in the United States, whether
he knows it or not. has been ohli-
gated by his national government to
that extent. Well, President Roose-
welt says there will be an increase
Of S, 485, 000, 900 in the national debt
between now and next June 80. That
means an increase in the per capt.
ia debt, obviously. So when you do
little figuring you viii find that by
next June 80, the federal govern
ment will owe almost $500 for each
Of us who claims the United States
as or country.
Each States Share
Having calculated what each per-
son has been obligated by his gov
eminent to pay, pursued the fig
ures further to discover what each
states share Of his huge national
debt is. The tabulation that ap-
pears herewith is the result. It
gives the name Of each state and
that states proportionate share Of
the $500, 0OO,O Your state re-
cords do not show the amounts as
direct debt; your state legislature
did not vote the bonds which were
sold in creating the debt, but the
fact remains that II it became nee
essary for each person to pay his
share,z your state would pay the
amount here set down:

why This Huge Debt?

What Is the reason for this O.
gantic debit Well, anyone ought to
know that when an individual
spends more than his income, he
goes into debt. That Is what this
nation has been doing. I do not
know how much longer It can con-
tinue to spend, to waste money In
pump printing. It seems to me that
the end win have to come very soon,
or people viii refuse to buy bonds
issued by the treasury. The banks
are loaded up with them now: load
ed so much that Sen. Carter Glass,
the veteran Virginia member Of the
senae. several times has. said he

II one desires to be technical and
wishes to include In the national
debt all Of the obligations which the
federal treasury may have to pay,
the figures have given will mount
very much higher There are nu-
merous agencies of the government
that are empowered to borrow mon
ey on their own bonds institutions
like the Reconstruction Finance cor
poration and the Home Owners loan
corporation and the Commodity
Credit corporation. It seems to me
that when those agencies borrow
money, the federal government be-
comes liable in the event the federal
agency is not able to pay, and the
total Of those loans appears to be In
the neighborhood Of $4,000, 900 900.
Since most people regard the fed
eral government as having q con-
tingent liability, there is som e
ground for including that total
which would make the grand total
"a, 600, O00. 900 and each states
Of the national debt In excess Of
share would be corespondingly
higher.

Children Now On

Ashe county citizens are respond
ing generously to the call to come
to the aid of the crippled children
by buying attractive little Easter
Seals that are being sold by the
school children and boy scouts, &C

The drive to sell the penny mes
sengers of a better life for the
crippled children" is now going on

urday night before Easter.
There are perhaps 100 crippled
children in the county who need

of raising money will help them in
overcoming this grave handicap. A
goal of $4,000 has been set up this
year by the Ashe County division
of the state Crippled Children's
League.
Mrs. ]. A. w. Davis reports that
during the past week $4,000 have
been spent for trusts, special shoes,

Plan To Hold NYA
Exhibit In County
Many Useful Articles Made By
Boys And Girls In County
Recently.

An exhibit showing some of the
fine work in which NYA workers
have done in the county during the
past few months will be held in the
courthouse about the middle of this
month, Mrs. Margaret c. Ray, coun-
ty supervisor, announces.
Under this vocational education
program for young men and wom-
en- between the ages of IL and Is,
many fine and useful things have
been made and repaired.
Exclusive of the schools, the NYA
activity in the county has been con-
fined OF two major projects since
last November. .
Under the supervision of Mrs.
Ray, ~ girls have been putting in
so hours making rugs, quilts, bas-
kets, burnt wood articles, in
their work shop on the second floor
at the courthouse. These items are
turned over to charitable agencies
and the welfare department to be
distributed to those in need, and to
the various schools.
George r. Duvall, of Crumpler,
a skilled carpenter, is director OF
the boys project which also en-
ploys 10 boys. Their work shop is
located at Crumpler and is well
equipped for all kinds of wood
work.
They have been making and re-
pairing desks, seats, bookshelves,
and tables for different schools in
the county. Recently they have
been engaged in completing the
ceiling and flooring work in the
dressing rooms of the Jefferson
gym. To obtain their services, all
each school has to do is to furnish
the materials for the items wanted.
These boys and girls work max
imum of so hours per month and
skilled labor is given a maximum
of $3.50 per month, unskilled re-
ceive 5000.

The hurley tobacco growers in
Ashe will go to the polls Saturday
to vote on the proposed marketing
quota and it is estimated that prac-
tically every farmer who raised
hurley tobacco last year will cast
vote either for or against the crop
control program.
Seven voting places have been
set up in the county and polls will
be open from a. m. until Z p. m
Every one who grew tobacco last
year is eligible to vote.
The voting places and those in
charge of them are as follows:
Landmark SCHOOL,. r. Phipps
chairman, c. G. Denney and Furd
Shat q, erside store, Crumpler
C. D. {, a,.. chairman, E. F. Gam
bill and Coy r. Francis; Stevens
store-Don Bumgardner, chairman
J. S. Stevens and John Barlow;
Sturgills school - Bryan Kirby,
chairman, Dent Pennington and W.
T. Pennington; Newriver school
Sam w. James, chairman, Iron Ash
ley and J. w. Faw; Lansing Gym
Monroe Welch, chairman, Howard
Blevins and James Eller; Jefferson,
courthouse-Wiley Weaver, chair
man, G. M. Campbell and Wiley
Hairless.
AS soon as the voting is completed,
the election officials are supposed to
count the votes and report the re-
turns promptly Saturday night to
the County Agent, so that he can
release figures to the press.
If two-thirds of the voters cast
their ballots for the quota program,
it will be applied to the 1888 crop
and allotments for individual farm
ers will be worked out.
The 403, 900, OOO-pound hurley crop
in 1887 exceeded the expected con-
sumption by 100000 pounds. The
proposed hurley quota for this year
is 350,OOO,OO0 pound.
It is feared that another crop as
big as that in 1887 would push the
total supply up to 100000
pounds above what is considered
the normal level.
The total quota would be divided

King Winter Paid
Another Visit To
The Blue Ridge
Peach, Cherry and Pear Trees
Damaged. Mercury Reading
Sunday Was q.

Last Friday there a number OF
clever "April fool" tricks pulled
here and Saturday afternoon when
snow fiurries started sitting white
flakes throughout the Blue Ridge il
looked as though King Winter was
also playing "April-fool" in the Ap.
palachian section.
A few hours later, however
every one realized that there WASN'T
any "April-fool" feature about the
weather's intentions. Snow fell
most of the night and so did the
thermometer. Sunday morning the
ground was almost solid white and
Joe Worth, the county's official
weather man, recorded the mercury
reading at %, 9 degrees below
freezing.
The severe cold-spell lasted al
day Sunday and most all day Mon
day, dealing an acute blow to the
many blossoms and buds that hac
popped out during the past two
weeks of unusually balmy spring
weather.
It is estimated that considerable
damage was done to the cherry
peach and pear trees, but the apples
apparently were not injured Early
gardens were also hurt.
