a rich man. A few days ago
while blowing in a field on Little
Horse Creek, Mr.. Stansberry
"plowed up" a large quantity of
"soft stones, rocks or minerals
They were very soft when they
came out of the ground, but af-
ter being exposed to sunshine
for about three hours, they be-
came so hard that it was diff
cult to break them. II don't know
what found, but 1 certainly was
surprised when the rocks har-
dened so quickly" nv declared.
Samples have been sent to the
State Geologist for analysis.
The question of How long do
you like your eggs?" might we'll
be asked judging from the long
narrow one brought in by Mrs.
Howard Coward, of Crumpler.
This egg is two inches long, a lit
tie more than an inch in circum-
ference. It is now on display in
the window of The Skyland Post.

Welcome Home, Major!

We congratulate Major A. L. Fletcher
upon the excellent job he did in Washing
ton as assistant wage-hour administrator
in establishing an inspectional system
throughout the United States and we well
come Ashe county's outstanding native son
back to North Carolina.
He went to Washington to do specific
piece of pioneering work and he did it so
we'll that he has been acclaimed all over
the nation. Now he returns to Charlotte to
serve as regional administrator in the same
branch of federal activity.
Because of their confidence in him, in
dustrial employers and employees in the
Carolinas will be deeply gratified to have
the wage-hour enforcement regulations
placed in the hands of Major Fletcher. AS
state commissioner of labor, his many re-
form plans were accepted with general sat-
isfaction by both capital and labor.
In addition to that, North Carolina needs
Major Fletcher here at home, and some
day we hope to see him occupy the posi-
ton as chief executive of the state!

ightment and education.
How much does home demonstration
agent cost county? Not great deal. The
federal government and the state extension
service pay about seventy-five percent of
the total cost.
Wouldn't it be fine thing for the farm
women of Ashe county if we had home
demonstration agent? Wouldn't it be good
if the women of the Nathan's Creek COM
munity, the Crumpler community, the
Grassy Creek community, Glendale
Springs community, Todd community and
all Of the other communities in the coun-
tywere organized into separate clubs, with
their own set of bylaws, officers and pro-
gram?
How about it, ladies-what do you think
of the idea?

2 Slot Machines
Are Stolen Here
Shell Service Station Was En-
tered By Two Men Ear
ly Wed. Morning.

Slot machines again proved a
temptation to robbers here, ear
ly Wednesday morning when two
were taken from the Shell service
station by two men who made
their escape in Chevrolet car.
Roy Fat" Medley, an employee
of the station who sleeps there,
was awaken shortly after two o.
clock by two men who had brok-
en- the door open and shot two
times.
They took the slot machines
and departed without robbing the
cash drawer in which there was
a considerable amount of money,
according to reports. Tires and
other stock had been moved but
a hasty check-up today revealed
that nothing else except the ma
chimes was missing.
R. w. Coward, manager of the
Coward Oil company, operators
Of the station and officers of the
law were called in Immediately,
but the robbers had already
made their escape.
Upon investigating the case it
was concluded that the parties
merely shot to brighten Medley,
who turned on the light upon be-
ing awakened by them.
He reported that the two men
had visited the station during the
day and had purchased a quart
of oil. It is believed that they
were looking the premises over
and decided to return later to
make a haul. Medley said that
he could recognize the men if he
were to see them again. They had
not been apprehended late yes
terday afternoon nor had the slot
machines been recovered. It was
estimated that the two machines
contained around $4,000 at the
time they were taken.

Honoring Mother

Life is so often conflicting and distrub-
ing Our minds and hearts yearn for the
beautiful, for the finer things, but as we
trod the rugged highway, surrounded on
one side by good and on the other by evil,
we frequently forget to follow the dictates
of our conscience and to listen to that "still
small voice"
In our sordid pursuit of the elusive dol
lar or in our over-enthusiastic search for
and enjoyment of purely physical and
worldly pleasures we sometimes permit our
thinking to become warped and lose sight
of the great fundamental principles that
ultimately bring true happiness and con-
tentment.
But regardless of how far we drift from
the happy way of life," or how harden we
become to sentimental and romantic i'm
pulses, there is enthroned deeply in the
hearts of every one profound love for
Mother
The dearest word in the world is Mother.
There is no other word in the dictionary
that means quite so much to us. In the hour
of our deepest Sadness or in the hour of
our greatest Joy, our thoughts turn to that
precious one whose enduring love follows
us wherever we go and serves as an in
SEPARATION for us to achieve higher goals.
It was Mothers hand that rocked the
CRADLE; it was her love and care that
stood over our bedside in the time Of sick
ness; it was Mother who taught us, toiled,
sacrificed and prayed that we might be-
come good, strong boys and girls, men and
women. Even the evils of sin could not
suppress that love nor the joys of heaven
surpass it.
And so this Sunday, Mothers Day, let's
not forget MOTHER. She doesn't ask for
much, but to her there is no hurt like for
getting or no joy like being remembered.
If Mother is dead, her love and tender
affection still follow us. If she is no longer
living, let's wear a white flower in loving
memory or her and in grateful appreciation
of what she has been to us.
If she is living, wear red flower-give
her a small gift that will show your affec-
ton and will clearly indicate that you
haven't forgotten! It will mean much to
her and you will be surprised how much
inspiration it will be to you. MOTHER
has given all to you. Open your heart and
show her that she occupies a big place in it.
