Friendship Assured

When Georve vi laid a wreath
with his own hands on the tomb
of George Washington that set
tied, once for all, the question OF
any lurking enmity between the
two nations. Those who have
made the closest study of inter-
national affairs believe that
friendship between the govern
ments of Great Britain and the
United States is our strongest
bulwark against aggression by
the totalitarian powers of Europe
and Japan.
It can be set down definitely
that the personal contacts with
the King and Queen by all man.
ner of public officials, winding
up with their reception by the
Senators and Representatives in
the rotunda of the Capitol, have
left a strong impression of
friendliness among many who
had expected something like a
demonstration of royal aloofness
and superiority.
If the rulers of the British EN-
pire are this sort of folks, Off
cial Washington is saying, there's
no reason why the United States
should not cooperate with their
country to maintain world peace
and friendship between the ma
tons who speak the same Ian
guage.
The King and Queen proved
themselves good fellows" in ev-
cry sense of the word. They fell
into the easygoing ways of Amer.
lea as if they were used to being
treated like ordinary human be-
ings, and seemed to enjoy it.
The King grinned like a de.
lighted schoolboy when Vice.
President Garner threw his arm
around his shoulders while he
talked to him, and slapped him
on the back as they parted.
Seeking Third Term
Echos of the royal visit still
overshadow almost everything
else in the National Capital, ex
cept the prospects for the 194(
elections.
The belief that the President i:
not only seeking but preparing
vigorously to go after a thirc
nomination has grown nightly
in the past few days. 1t got it:
strongest support from an article
in a popular illustrated magazine
by Secretary of the Interior Har

his reasons for desiring the Pres
ident's denomination, and took {;
crack at practically every Demo

Almost simultaneously there
appeared in another wide1y-c cir
culated magazine an article by
Stephen Early, chief secretary tt
the President, which did no
mention a third term but com
planned bitterly about the nature
of some of the criticisms which
have been levelled at Mr.. Roose

Oddities In
Ashe County
Snakes That Rattle

What is the longest and Oldest
rattle snake you have ever seen?
What about seven feet and thir-
teen rattles' or 13 years of age?
Can you beat those figures?
A few days ago w. T. Hairless,
who lives near West Jefferson,
brought in the thing that looks
little like cartridge and said
he had cut it off a snake that
had just been killed on his place.
In the cartridge, which really is
hard, bony ring formation on
the tail of the snake, were Is lit
tie solid pieces that ratified ev-
cry time you moved the tail.
eyes, it's 13 years old; I've al
ways heard that each one of the
rattles represented one year," he
declared.
w. L. Dent, we'll known Ashe
bounty farmer who operates a
fine dairy near jefferson, is 60
ing to win some valuable breed
ing laurels if he keeps up the re-
cord that has been made thus far
this year on his farm.
This column is informed that
to date, since the advent of 1889,
a total of three sets of twin
calves have been born on his
beautiful blue grass farm and
that all three of them are living
and doing we'll.
That's unusual, but how about
some triplets? Who has a set in
Ashe? We certainly don't want
Allegheny to get ahead of us in
that respect.
Paul Howell startled the to-
bacco producing kingdom this
week when he brought in a large
hurley tobacco root that after
having stayed in the ground all
the winter and resisted the cold
elements, started sprouting forth
new growth this spring.
Last winter was plenty severe,
we thought, and that root must
have had the strength and endur-
ance of a honeysuckle vine.
We've heard of Fords doing
most everything and carrying
most anything, but John Reeves
came back in the office Monday
with the strangest tale about a
Ford we've heard in a long time.
1t was about his newly traded
Ford and a cat.
A large domesticated cat,
which is an important part of
a family household, recently
had a litter of kittens, and like
most kittens, they prowl around
everywhere.
Monday at noon a good shower
fell here. When John pulled up
at the office, he heard kitten
crying. Upon investigation he
discovered that the cat was "in
the motor" and what time he
had getting the kitty out.
While the rain was falling, John
said the kitten must have climb
ed up under the car, on the chassis
and then into the motor.
L. P. Phipps, we'll known farm
er of Grassy Creek thinks well
of his Rhode Island Red chick
ems, but even these large size
hens fall down on the job some
times, judging from the eggs he
brought in the office last week.
They are dark in color, but are
scarcely larger than partridge
eggs. Mr.. Phipps had no explana-
ton to offer. "The eggs speak for
Themselves" he said. They are
now on display in the window of
