that are worthy of a prize and
are proof of what Ashe county
can produce, but the potatoes
happened to be the only entry he
had at the N. c. Fair this year.
C. L. Woodruff, Of Oval, who
lives on Frank Goodman's farm,
has produced a prize-winning cd
dity in potatoes this year. From
two acres he grew around 275
bushels. Among these was a
cluster of one large potato and
six smaller ones, all of which
prove that potatoes can really
stick together. He also brought in
another grouping, three average
potatoes grown together in the
eternal triangle, or very much in
the shape of sling shot. These
are now on display in the win
dows of The Skyland Post.
Days and Food
This month has lot of notable
days, among which are campaign
and election days, and now that
they are gone we have Armis-
tice Day, and little later,
Thanksgiving, all of which re-
mind us that there are many
things to be thankful for.
Since Thanksgiving is a day of
feasting, did you know that in
addition to some of the finest
turkeys grown in the country,
Ashe county also grows pumpkins
for the pies and cranberries for
the sauce?

cipes you will enjoy preparing
and serving.

Washington. - Some reliable
facts are beginning to be avail
able about the progress of the Ma
TONS rearmament program, con
corning which there has lately
been much contradictory anc
sometimes malicious gossip in cir.
culation.
It is true enough that the Uni
ted States is trying to do in two
years what Germany took seven
years to do; that is, to equip and
train the greatest fighting force
the world has ever dreamed Of
on land, on the sea and in the
air. But the members of the Ma
tional Defense Commission, the
high officers of the Army and the
Navy and the "big wigs" of the
air force are now satisfied that it
can be done and that the job has
got off to a fast start.
The air preparations are con-
sidered the most Immediately i'm
portant. particularly as one of the
major detectives is to furnish
more aid to Britain as speedily as
possible, and that can best be
done by augmenting the British
air force.
Production of Army airplanes
is not yet up to the announced
schedule, but it is gaining. The
program for October called for
1888 Army planes, and only 900
were produced. How many of
those are combat planes and how
many training panes are items
which are regarded as military
secrets.
Training Planes Needed
It is certain that high proper
ton of all military planes must
be for training purposes, for the
plans call for the training OF at
least 10000 additional pilots an
nually, and that will take a lot
of airplanes. How many of the
present output of planes are to
90 to England is another point on
which there is official silence; but
it is apparent that allowing for
everything, the Army is begin
ming to get planes faster than ev-
er before, and the Navy is getting
it's share.
A year ago the total of military
planes of al kinds being produced
per month was 100; now it is
above 900 and increasing. From
700 airplane engines a month the
manufacturers have already
stepped up production to 1000 a
month, and great new plants are
under way to treble that output
in a year or less.
There has been a great deal OF
criticism of the delay in produc-
ing the new semi-automatlc Ga
rand rifles. So long as there
seemed to be no hurry. the Gov
eminent arsenals at Springfield
and Rock Island ambled along.

turning out 500 a month of the
new weapons. Now the produc-
ton in Government plants is close
to 5000 rifles a week, and pri-
vate manufacturers are about to
begin making the same type of
guns.
The defense Commission has
given out a partial list of the con-
tracts which have been let.
Among them is one for the build
ing of the worlds first and only
plant for the mass production of
those mobile forts on caterpillar
treads which the British intro
duced in the World War under
the name of tanks" and which in
Hitler's hands have proved the
most destructie of land arma-
ments. Two smokeless powder
pants have been contracted for,
two plants for making high ex-
plosives: five shell-loading plants
and several complete new plants
for making machine guns. All of
those are privately owned and
operated plants.
Production Schedule
Airplane contracts thus far are
for slightly more than 10000
planes. The production schedule,
which may be stepped up, is for
1880 planes a month for early
1941, 1000 month from July l
onward, and 5000 a month be-
ginning in 1912. Production of
light tanks is going ahead at the
rate of 100 a month, with heavy
tank production planned to be-
gin early next year. Besides
tanks. the Army is buying trucks,
to have $4,000 delivered
by the end of this year.
Besides the more than 200 ma
val craft of all types, from bat
tleships down to harbOr tugs, for
which the Government has let
contracts since the beginning of
1910, the Navy has begun. to pur-
chase auxiliary vessels in the
open market. Since July l more
than 10 such craft have been ac-
quired, at prices ranging from
81 for seagoing yachts whose
owners have shown their patrio-
tism by giving their ships to the
nations service, to as high as ST.
100000 for some of the passenger
liners which are to be used as
and in one or two in
stances converted into airplane
carriers.
One of the most important of
all auxiliary naval craft is the
oil tanker, and some of the larg-
est and fastest tankers afloat
have been bought by the Navy !
from the big oil companies. Sew
eral modern cargo ships construc-
ted under the orders of the Mari
time Commission for private own
ers, have also been bought by the
Navy to serve as carriers of am
munition and supplies.
Bought the IrOquOis'
One of the Navy's recent pur
chases is of the speedy passenger
liner ''Iroquois", originally built
for the New York-Miami run.
The "Iroquois" brought some of
the first loads Of refugees from
the war zone across the Atlantic
last year. Now she is being
with operating rooms,
laboratories and nurses quarters
to make her into the finest hos
pital ship afloat.
There is little for Congress to
do, and little is likely to be done
on Capitol Hill, before the new
18th Congress meets in January.
Many members are taking the
vacations which they didn't dare
to take before election; many 9TH
ers are beginning to pack up and
get ready to go back home to
stay. If a situation arose in
which it was necessary to assem-
BILE a quorum of either house it
would take a week or so to get
enough together to do business
constitutionally.

News Letter Written for The Ely Miner by
WILLIAM A. PITTENGER
Member of Congress, Eighth Minnesota District

same story. 1t can probably be called
humor, for the u. S. government gets
the use and benefit of these very roads
The Harrison Colmer bills are in
tended to adopt new policy on the
part of our government. They substi-
tute for the old policy that the govern
ment pays no taxes, new program
which requires the government to con-
tribute to the local municipalities GER
tain payments to replace the taxes that
have been lost. 1t is high time that we
recognize this new principle. There is
no valid reason why the government
should not make contributions. Briefly
this legislation requires that the gov
eminent pay a sum equal to three per
cent of the purchase price of the land
acquired by the government. This
would bring revenue to the local treas
uries to replace that lost when the
forest service took land off the tax rolls
From time to time, members OF
Congress from different sections have
introduced legislation along similar
lines Their bills would accomplish the
same results as the Harrison Colmer
bills. Ali of us should support the bill
that has had study by the U. S. Forest
Service, and to which the least OBJ
jections can be made. I support the
Harrison olmer bill for that reason.
Responsibility for the failure of this
legislation will rest squarely upon the
Secretary of Agriculture and the Adj
ministration. The Administration is in
control, both in the House and in the
Senate. They have the votes to pass
the bills. There is no excuse for the
long delay. hope that before adjourn
ment the Administration will get a
different view point, and help us to
obtain needed relief for various
counties and districts, including oul
Northern Minnesota municipalities.

Purchasers of Taxi orfeited
Timber Lands Didn't Get
Title to Timber.

Persons who in the past year have
purchased tax-forfeited timber lands
with the intention of cutting and sell
ing the timber from them cannot
legally do so, it was revealed by Henry
Weber, director of the division of
forestry, state department of conser-
walton, at a meeting of the ST. Louis
county commissioners last week.
Under state law passed by the last
legislature, title to commercial timber
is not included in delinquent tax
land sale. Ownership of such timber
can be acquired only upon purchasing
the timber separately after a special
appraisal.
Weber accused the county of selling
timber for far less than its known
value, and said that timber operators
had applied for cutting permits, as re-
quired by law, on lands that had not
been appraised by the county. There
has been some misunderstanding, how
ever, between the county and the state
forestry department over what is
classed as marketable timber.
Notices are being sent to all land
