Have you ever stopped to think
that the present war might be
called one of conquest for others
besides Hitler? Judging from the
large number of marriages
throughout the nation one can
safely say many girls are getting
husbands by it!
We heard the other day about
a certain lady being great work.
er among soldiers and sailors.
When we asked why we discov-
cred that she had married two
daughters to men in the army and
three to men in the navy!
Pay Dirt
How we'll does dirt pay? Some
better than others, of course. The
merchants of West Jefferson have
found out that the kind that blows
along the streets here has been
damaging their merchandise and
bringing them no benefits at all.
But with the improvement project
now going forward on the streets
and sidewalks it looks as though
these days of dust will soon be
gone forever. And needless to say
no one will be sorry!
w. F. Goodman, of the Beaver
Creek section has found that he
has some dirt ths&~ays in other
ways besides farming. He reports
that a rich vein of feldspar has
been discovered on his place
from which he has recently sold
$11O0 worth at 81 per ton, dellv'
cred. Mr.. Goodman said that Mr.
Will Ray, of New York city whose
property on Beaver Creek joins
that of his, had sold his feldspal
at fifty cents per ton in the
ground.
Adding 1t Up
Some people are good at figures
and others not so good, but here
we have one of the best young
mathematician we have seen IN 9
long time. Ted Wagner Good
man, young son of Mr.. and Mrs
Hayden Goodman is only SIX
years old and attended school Tor
the first time last year at Bald
win but knows the multiplication
table complete through IL! He
was in last week and recited it to
us. Now figure that out! Perhaps
he inherits some talent for math
from his father who has always
been quite a mathematician.
Summer Time Is Here Again
We can tell it by the rising tenn
perature, the tourists who are
stopping by along the Parkway
and the fact that our well known
summer places are open again.
The Black Bear Inn has better
food than ever this season, which,
considering the reputation estab-
lished in the past, is going pretty
far, yet if you don't believe it, try
| it.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. H. Carson are
back again and of course the ar
rival of the well known couple
is sure sign that summer is here
again. They have hundreds OF
friends in this section who look
forward to seeing them each sum-
mer.
