needy veterans and their families.
This year Americans everywhere should
be particularly proud to help such worth
while group and to wear poppy which
takes on deeper meaning than ever before;
for with democracy throughout the world
being threatened we can remember with
pride that the red poppy is memorial for
those who fell in it's defense in the last
great struggle.
The peoples are replicas Of those which
grow in Flanders Field the soil of France
where America once defeated the military
force of autocracy, that democracy and our
way of life might be maintained
This year these red flowers, to be worn
in memory of our honored dead are also
an inspiration and challenge for us to
keep the faith of those who died, to remind
us today that America is the arsenal of
democracy, nation that has the strength
and courage to bear the torch of freedom
on high that our way of life may not perish
from this earth

Ashe countys famous moonlight Min
strels' have always been good, in fact far
above the average, but the 1941 edition sur
passed all former presentations, judging by
the many comments and observations we
have heard here. The attendance was good,
and all of those who attended got dozens
of laughs out of jokes, singing and other
phases of the performance. Those who gave
unstintingly of their time and talent are to
be commended not only on the excellent
entertainment which they offered, but for
contributing to good cause, the Ashe

will have an opportunity of enjoying good
entertainment and helping good cause.

Elect Bob DOughtOn

The untimely death of Congressman Lon
Folger is also regrettable in that it has re-
suited in bitter inner-party fight over the
selection of a man for national Democratic
committeeman.
Shortly after Folgers death, Gov. j. M.
Broughton announced that he was for the
election of former governor, Hon. Clyde R.
Hoey and most every one seemed to have
accepted this suggestion without resent
ment until Dick Reynolds, wealthy Win
ston-Salem man and treasurer of the ma
tional Democratic party, last week an
nounced his candidacy for this rather
thankless position.
The fur began to fly Immediately. From
all parts of the state many of the party's
liberals who have been fighting the con-
servatives, sprung up, voiced their enthu-
siastic approval of young Mr.. Reynolds and
their disapproval of SHELBY domination.
Since that time both sides have kept the
wires hot and unless compromise candi-
date is agreed upon before tomorrow night,
there will probably be rather warm politi-
Se1A OoII4C "oSCA Ill ACoACA311 WAAC14 IAAC oCoIC
executive committee meets to elect a sue
cessor for the office.
Although Reynolds has good deal of
Support, it is almost an assured fact that
Gov. Hoey can win out if he and his back
ers, including Gov. Broughton, so desire
For the good of the present administra-
ton and for the promotion of party har-
mony in the future, it seems to us that the
most sensible thing to do is to compromise.
Gov. Hoey doesn't particularly want the
job in the first place, although he is well
qualified to fill it and apparently Mr.. Rey-
holds does not have sufficient backing to
get elected over the former governor After
it is all said and done, the position is not
such big one, too small to stir up lot of
bitterness at this crucial time in our ma
tional and world history.
There is one man in the state whom we
know will be acceptable to both Sides This
man already has too much to do, but we
believe he could still find time to discharge
the duties of national committeeman, too.
This man is none other than our own
Farmer Bob Doughton! He has been a
neighbor and lifelong friend of Represen-
tative Folger and we know that Lon would
highly approve of this selection!

Winter feed is one of the biggest prob
lens in the dairy and livestock business.
Cows that are not given enough of the pro-
per food during the cold winter months
will not give an abundant supply of milk
and neither will beef cattle fatten without
all essential foods. This serious problem can
be easily and inexpensively solved by the
building of box, trench or upright silos.
A farmer can build trench silo that will
hold fifteen tonssof silage, enough to feed
five cows twice daily for six months, at
cost of less than 81 per ton. The next year
he will have the silo and his only cost will
be that of filling it :. Now is the time to
start solving this problem You will never
regret it and next year you will have more
money in the bank!
