Oddities In
Ashe County

One of Ashe county's largest
owls wasn't so wise as his leg
endary ancestors have gotten
credit for being. He landed in
steel trap that had been set
for the purpose of catching a
hawk and, like the .'tar baby,
he was stuck fast. The owner of
the trap managed to get his foot
released from the steel blade
without killing the nocturnal
bird and brought him, in cage,
to Smithey's store here.
This week he has been on dis
play in the produce department
of this family store" and has
been attracting almost as much
attention as Santa does on Sat-
day. It is one of the largest
owls ever shown here. It has,
of course, a large head and large
eyes, which seldom close, a
nooRed beak, strong talons and
extra soft, notified feathers. Clint
Jarvis, popular manager of Smith
:y's, say that an owl can't move
it's eyeballs around, but has to
revolve it's head in order to
change the direction of its vision.
He also says that an owl will
really fight. We don't know
about those two things for sure,
but we are not going to attack
any of them if we can help it and
we do know them to be "great
criers at nights. We never did
like to hear them yell, cry or
whatever it is that they do when
they make those wierd and rath-
er horrifying noises.
More apples, yes, more Red
June apples; yes, second crop.
Tuesday F. N. Phipps brought in
three nice, large apples of this
variety. Santa will have to go
some to beat that freak of nature.

Cold Wave Hits
All OF Europe

London, Dec. 20.-A cold wave
that already has broken records
of so and 80 years standing early
today frightened its icy grip on all
Europe, from the Urals to the.
Mediterranean, taking toll of at
least 200 lives and causing in
tense suffering.
Communication and transpor-
tation services were crippled,
particularly in Eastern Europe
and the Balkans, and shipping in
the North Seas ran for cover be-
fore the blasts sweeping from of
the Siberian Steppes.
England suffered the lowest
temperatures in nine years, while
Monday was the coolest Deem

with reading of one degree be-

reported that the mercury was
plummeting down to the lowest
levels since the famous cold wave
of 1877. It was five above in Paris
in midafternoon and five below in
Alsace, Lorrain, and Verdun.
Seventy deaths from freezing
were reported from Lodz, Poland,
and the extreme cold was blamed
for an influenza outbreak among
5000 German-Jewish refugees on.

Will Ask Legislature For
Beef Cattle And Sheep Work
In This Section OF State
Proposal Made To Set Up
State Experimental Station.
Views Are Sought.

The Animal Husbandry and
Dairying division of the Exten-
sion Service at State College, the
State Experiment Staten and
others interested in cattle rails
ing have requested the State
Budget Bureau to recommend to
the 1899 Legislature that $751;
10000 be appropriated annually
| for beef cattle and sheep re-
search in Western North Caro-
lima. 'ss =
In a letter to Emmett McNeill,
of Jefferson, district inspector OF
the State Agricultural Depart
ment of animal husbandry and
dairying, explained the recon-
mendation.
He also pointed out the fact
that if senators and representa-
tives can DE induced to make
such an appropriation, that Ashe,
Allegheny, Watauga or Avery
counties would be good places
in which to located such an ex-
pertinent.
Ashe is one of the largest beef
cattle, sheep and livestock rails
ing counties in the state and Sen
ator w. B. Austin and Represen-
tative Ira T. Johnston said that
they were very much interested
in the proposed suggestion.
eve would like to know how
our citizens feel about the pro-
posal and will appreciate sug-
gestions," Mr.. Johnston stated in
commenting on the letter.
The letter is as follows:
''No work of this kind has been
done in Western North Carolina
in about twenty years and none
has ever been done in your dis
trict. Of course this has not been
because there was no need for it
or because the Importance and
size of the industry did not JUS
tify it, but because no State funds
have been allocated for this
work.
II am sure you will agree with
me that many research problems
dealing with beef cattle and
sheep in Western North Carolina
need attention. If the above rec
ommendation goes through we
hope to start on the most import
ant problems and plan to call on
a committee from Western North
Carolina to help us decide the
most urgent needs. The location
for the experiments will also
have to be decided on and here
again we will need some help. 1t
seems to me that in view of
where the last work of this kind
was conducted that this should
be located in Ashe, Watauga, AL
leghany or Avery.
II am calling this to your at
tention so that if you see fit you
may contact your senator and
representative before they leave
for Raleigh.
II also assume that an active
and interei ted committee repre-
senting the producers will be ex-
pected to appear before the leg

David was on his feet, listening
with boyish excitement to their tale
of the words they had heard from
the heavens, as an angelic host
praised Jehovah. His heart burned
within him, and he was eager to
accompany the band of shepherds.
Then he heard one of the young
lambs: ''Ma-aa-aa." The answering
bleat came from distance. The
mother had wandered off in search
of tender morsels. David heard
again his mothers warning.

grew heavy. He was almost asleep
