The doorway to this quaint house
is as unpretentious as the house
itself. In fact, it would scarcely be
noticed except for its prominent
approach in the form of a high
wooden stoop. Distinction is as
sured this little house, however, by
its more dignified and larger neigh
bors, its decidedly domestic char
acter, its stonework painted yellow,

Senator, Austin Stressed Val
NE of Expanded Agriculture
Program To AShe.

Senator w. B. Austin and Rep
resentative Ira T. Johnston re-
viewed some of the highlightS of
the 1889 session of the general
assembly at the weekly meeting
of the JefferSons Rotary club last
Thursday night.
This last session of the legis-
lature did more for agriculture
than any other session had done
IN years and the farmers of Ashe
and other mountain counties are
going to be greatly benefited by
this new program" Senator Aus
tin stated.
For the first time in the
states history, the state really
declared war on bangs disease.
$50, 100000 was set aside to wipe
cut this dreaded disease. $15,-
10000 were set aside for apple
research and study; 100000 for
beef cattle and sheep research
and $20,OOO.O0 for poultry re-
search" he said in reviewing
some of the new measures that
will affect this part of the state
where poultry and cattle raising
are widely practiced.
There was more interest in
vocational training among the
members of the legislature than
any other one thing and money
for this program was increased to
$225, 10000, which, when matched
by local and federal funds, will
run over $l,O00,O00.00. Our local
communities should submit ap-
plicatlons and make plans to es-
tabliSh vocational departments as
soon as they cam he declared.

March came in with rough wea-

Quite little interest has been
shown in establishing health cen

and blood pressure checked.
The following is an attentive

Must
Receive Notice
About Election

RALEIGH, April 7 - Public
school-teachers and principals
must be given written notice be-
fore the school year ends OF their
election or rejection for the next
term. Attorney-General Harry
Mcmillan held today in an inter-
probation of the school machinery
act by R. H. Latham, superinten-
dent of Asheville schools.
Latham had asked whether the
teachers notice should be with
held until after the State School
Commission decided upon the
number of teachers allotted to the
school for the next year.
Mcmillan ruled that the notice
should be given, subject to teach
er-allotments of the commission,
which usually are made in mid
summer.
In another opinion, Mcmillan
held that Asheville can use it's
supplementary school tax reve-
nue. for 18th grade as we'll as
a ninth-month of public educa-
ton. The supplement was voted
under the old school machinery
act, which did not mention spe-
officially the 18th grade. The local
resolution under which the cleo
ton was held, however, said the
money was to be used for school
improvements" If the resolution
had specified the ninth month,
Mcmillan said, the money pro-
baby would be limited to that
purpose.

Col. Rupert Rites
In New York
Mourners Of Every Foith
And Occupation Pay
Their Respects
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-In the high
stiffness of st. Patrick's Cathedral
solemn mass of requiem was sung
today for Col. Jacob Rupert, the
wealthy brewer and owner Of the
world champion New York Yankees
baseball team, who died Friday after
a lingering illness.
Before the cathedral's doors were
closed for the mass some 1900 per-
sons had crowded in and 10000
more, at the police estimate, had
assembled outside In Fifth avenue
and other nearby streets.
The mOurners were of every faith
and every occupation, but most of
them were Of middle-age or elderly,
men with strong memories Of the old
spacious days which the hale and
convivial colonel of another day had
symbolized.
The honorary pallbearers included
former Gov. Alfred E. Smith, Sena-
tor Robert F. Wagner, Kenesaw M.
Lands, the baseball czar; William
Harridge, president of the American
League; Babe Ruth. the greatest
home-run hitter of all time; Mayor
F. H. La Guardia, former Gov. John
K. Tener of Pennsylvania, John r.
Fitzgerald. the former Mayor of Bos-
ton, and Lou Gehrig, the Yankees
star first baseman.
In the pews sat other represent
ativeS Of sports, politicS-BroadWay
and the 400: Clark Grifnth, the
owner Of the Washington club;
former Mayor John p. OBrien,
Herb Pennock, who was q great
Yankee pitcher in his day; Jimmy
Dykes, manager of the Chicago
White Sox; Mrs. George Washing
ton Kavanaugh, the society leader,
and Bill Robinson, the colored tap
dancer.
The body of Col. Rupert had
been brought from his Fifth avenue
apartment down a thoroughfare
lined with bare-headed men and
bowling women, and from the cathe-
dral was taken to Kensico Cemetery
In nearby Westchester County for
burial.
It is expected that an announce
ment will be made Tuesday or We'd
nesday as to what arrangements Col.
Rupert made for the continuance
Of his baseball holdings. While at
present 20 one is at liberty to re-
veal the colonel's will regarding
the Yankees and their extensive
farm" system, 1t is believed un-
officially trustees have been desig-
mated to administer the affairs of
the ball club pending its ultimate
disposition.
One Of the most likely to serve as
trustee is Edward G. Barrow, Sec
retary and business manager Of the
club and an associate of Mr.. Rup-
pert for 10 years. George Weiss,
general manager Of the Yankees
minor league farms, may be an
other. Two other possibilities are AL
Brennan, Mr.. Ruppert's secretary
and his closest friend, and George
Rupert, brother Of the colonel, who
Is vice president of the club.
