Paul J. Buttery submits the
following poem which we pass
on to you:
My time did come to leave you,
mother
To train for Uncle Sam, you
know.
It almost broke my heart, dear
Mother,
But you know I had to 60.
Each day before 1 start my train
ing
l always think the most of you.
But just pray for God to be with
us,
And help our Nation win this
war.
Mother, I know the home seems
vacant,
And you're always thinking the
most of me.
But Mother, now I am brave
soldier,
And you will be proud of me,
I know.
Many times I see you, Mother.
Yes, in my dreams at night,
And oft times hear you whisper,
my boy, please do right"
Yes, Mother, I will do good.
AS good as I can do,
And just think, Mother, it won't
be long,
Until I will be at home with
you.

Conservation Of Soil Is Nee
eSsary For Increased
Production

All out production of food and
feed by our farmers is necessary
this year and every year until
the war is won, according to Mr..
j. w. Gambill. Chairman of the
Ashe County Agricultural War
Board. In discussing ways of in
creasing production with Mr.. Nc
Laurin, member of the War Board
and Ashe County representative
of the Soil Conservation Service,
some interesting facts were
brought out that will be benefi-
<cial to all farmers in the county.
Conservation farming, Mr..
McLaurin said, consisting of
planned rotation contour tillage,
terracing, strip cropping, pasture
improvement, winter cover crops,
and use of the right land for the
right crop will increase yields
from the same acreage with
about the same amount of work
: Evidence of the results of this
kind of farming in Ashe County
have been demonstrated by many
farmers over the past years.
w. J. Howell, R. B. Taylor, and
Thomas Campbell, whose farms
are located just below SCOTS
store have doubled the grazing
capacity of their pasture lands.
Everett Fender, whose farm is
located near Crumpler, has in
creased his crop yields along with
greatly increasing his grazing
CAPACITY Of his pasture fields.
Mr.. McLaurin points out that
many farmers who need to start
conservation farming" or need
help in establishing specific prac-
tees need only to notify some
4fnember of the War Board or to
have the "AAA" committeeman,
when he contacts them in the
next few weeks. to make a note

Bldg. Loans Are
Buying War Bonds
Ashe Bldg. And Loan, Along
With Others In State, Is
Assisting

Purchase of war bonds to the
extent of 1873 percent of the
States quota is the record of
North Carolina Building and
Loan Associations in a national
bond purchase program inaugur-
ated in June by the United States
Savings and Loan League, the
national trade organization of the
building and loan associations.
The national program called
for the purchase of 100000, 900
in bonds by all associations be-
tween June 80 and December 81.
The quota assigned to North Car
DINA Associations was $1,915,00O.
A final check on the amount
purchased by the associations in
this State reveals that $780, ZOO
in bonds was purchased in the
last half of 1912, according to D.
r. Fonville, Of Burlington, presi-
dent of the North Carolina Build
ing and Loan League, which
sponsored the program in this
state. The League assigned a quo
ia to each association, which was
substantially exceeded by Ashe
Building and Loan Assn, West
jefferson.
While figures are not yet avail
able as to the results of the ma
tional program, it is known that
purchases were we'll in excess of
the $100,000,000 goal set.

Will Creote Suspicion
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Frederick
E. Hasler, president of the Pan
American Society, asserted yester-
DAY that selfish interests and iso-
lationists in Congress- have a move
ment underway to block renewal of
the Reciprocal Trade Agreements
Act which expires June II.
This movement must be stopped
ut all costs, before its virus is al
lowed to create suspicion abroad of
the sincerity of our policies in re-
gard to international trade, and
thus implant the germ of disunity
among the United Nations" Hasler
said at the 31St anniversary meeting
of the society.
The 1894 Trade Agreements Act has
lowered excessive trade barriers, he
said, and has improved our COM
mercial relations with 25 other
countries.
1T may we'll serve as a pattern
TO implement the principles of
mutual trade aid agreed upon in
the Atlantic Charter" Hasler said,
adding that those persons behind
the movement to oppose renewal
of the act were blind to the fact
that they are sowing the same seeds
that helped to bring on this war"
AT the meeting, the annual avi-
alton safety awards of the Inter-
American Safety Council were pre-
bented to two divisions of Pan
