ASKOV
Aid Program, Sale Enjoyed.

The program and sale sponsored
jointly by the Danish and English
Ladies' Aids Friday evening at the
D. B. S. hall was success in every
respect. The five-cent admission
charged adults just paid for the hall
and as most of the articles for the
sale were donated there naturally
was good surplus. The lunch COM
mittee also did splendid business.
Thus it can be summed up: A good
program, good sale, good lunch, good
crowd, equals fine evening for which
those in charge wish to extend thanks
to one and all who helped make it
such success.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thorvald S. Jensen
have now moved into the Jorgen r..
Petersen residence which became
vacant last Thursday.
The recreation project sponsored by
the Commercial club was terminated
May l. During the winter months
large numbers enjoyed the ice skating
rink and the last two months various
games have been sponsored in the
town hall. VIM. Olesen has been
supervisor and with the closing of
the project his services are termin-
ated.
MIR. and Mrs. G.. M. Christilaw,
daughter Mary, and Miss Emma Ben
der of Duluth, were visitors over the
weekend at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. W. Conway. While here the
Christians were busy meeting their
friends of the time they were resi-
dents in the village while Mr.. Christi
law had charge of the road construc-
ton work as engineer for the state.

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE

Old Solomon Zeal was wonder
Gus wise, he taught his boys to ad-
vertise. They ran his store and
sold his goods from soup to nuts
and bibs to hoods. People went
into his store and always came
again for more. They bought his
prunes and chose his cheese, til
now he lives in well earned ease.
Old Brigham Grump ran his
dump on a catch 'em stick 'em plan.
An ad to him was poison amid his
sordid junk. To let the people
know your stuff was nothing short
of bunk. He drifted on in peace
sublime ever getting poorer, until
at last the sheriff came and nailed
up his door, a motto for all who hide
their wares from customers that
bore 'em. Hell advertise and dc
it now, or else I'll do it for 'im."

Library Notes.
(By Mrs. Chessie Neal, Librarian,
Ache County Public Library

(By Mrs. Chessie Neal, Librarian,
Ashe County Public Library
When "Gone with the Wind" was
purchased for the library by the
Woman's club, it was decided that
a rental of dime would be charged
for each one reading the book and
the sum used to buy another new
book for the library.
At the end of 1887 there was
enough money to buy two of the
best sellers for the month Of De-
cember 'The CITADEL, by A. j. Gro
min, and "And So Victoria, by
Vaughn Wilkins.
''The CITADEL portrays the career
of young physician, Andrew Man
son, through the vicissitudes OF
success and failure, happiness and
sorrow - Andrew, just married
risks the loss of his job by contra
dieting the diagnosis of his senior
and saves minor from being GER
tilted as insane and cures him. The
older doctor was credited with the
cure. Andrews wife, Christine, is
a woman of high ideals and tries
to keep him up to the mark and
does while she lives, but afterward
is another story. By critics the
book is said to be scathing indict-
ment of certain aspects of the medl-
cal profession.
'And So Victoria" is an outstand-
ing historical novel. The period is
the time of the Georges down to
Queen Victoria. Very few readers,
once they have started will fail to
read every word.
There will be a rental of three
cents a day charged for each per-
son reading these books and the
sum used for buying other new
books.
The library wishes to thank
James Stanley for loaning to the
library his copies of "Gone with
the Wind" and Drums Along the
Mohawk" Thanks and apprecia'
ton are due Mr.. Ed Anderson anc
B. w. Jones for their contributions
and help at the recent fiddlers con-
cention. Also to anyone who at any
time contributes or helps in any
way to keep the library going.

Annual Extension
Service Meeting
Held In Raleigh
Three People From Ashe COun'
To Attended. Valuable In
formation Obtained.

County Agent c. ]. Rich, Bryan
! Oliver, district superintendent of
Farm Security Administration, and
Miss Lenna Gambill, FSA home
supervisor, attended the annual Ex-
tension Service conference held last
week at State College in Raleigh
and received first-hand information
on recent agricultural developments
which will enable them to mold
more fully their county program.
All three of them stated that the
conference was instructive and en-
joyable.
The conference, which began jan
uary II and ended three days lat
er, was constructed around the
theme Rebuilding North Cardinals
Rural Life"
During the meeting, the agents
and specialists of the Extension
Service heard such prominent au-
thorities as DR.. c. w. Warburton,
national extension director; DR.
Will w. Alexander, national direct
or of the Farm Security Admins
tration; and Governor Clyde R.
Hoey.
Farm Security supervisors met
with the extension personnel dur
ing the four-day session. This
marked the first time that another
agricultural agency has been in
vited to take part in these annual
| conferences.
While most of the daily sessions
were held jointly with both farm
and home agents in attendance,
separate meetings for the two
groups were arranged.
County agents dealt largely with
the agricultural conservation pro-
gram for 1888, tenant security, CO.
operative hog marketing, and ter
racing. On the other hand, the
home agents took up such subjects
as clothing, rural Identification,
and financial planning for the farm
family.
Among other speakers on the pro-
gram were: DR.. Frank Graham,
president of the University of
North Carolina; DR.. I. o. Schaub,
director of the State College Exten-
sion service.

heat the animals before killing and
be sure to bleed the animals well
after killing. All animal heat
should be out of the meat before
curing. Scald all curing vessels
and boil all water used in the brine.
Each piece of meat should be rub
bed with salt before curing and, if
bring cured, the brine should be
examined every few days. When
smoking, hang the meat six to
eight feet above the fire.

officiating, they were maIcied in
the middle of the road near the old
mill, which is now Handy power
plant, at Warrensville.

Timely Questions
And Answers

QUESTION: What causes early
Matched pullets to fall off in pro-
duction when there is no sign OF
mott or disease?
ANSWER: This winter pause in
production is often encountered
when early Matched pullets have
been producing heavily. The birds
are just resting and will undoubted-
ly soon swing back into heavy egg
yields. Give them normal care
keeping well-balanced mash be-
fore them at all times and practice
rigid sanitation. Watch the flock
for neck mott and, if this occurs
feed a wet mash to hasten produc-
ton.
