Chestnut Wood
Needed In War
Used In Tanning Of Leather
For Shoes For Men In
Service

Because it's a war need-and it
is need, for the Army boys will
not carry a gun far unless they
have shoes to wear and that is
why Chestnut wood, this old, dead
chestnut wood, is one of the es-
sential war needs today, and to
meet this need a ceiling cash price
of $1,000 per cord unit has been
fixed by our government as pay
ment for this wood delivered to
the mill of Wilkes Extract Works
at North Wilkesboro, N. c., where
it is used to make tanning ma
terial for sole leather for army
shoes, and other folks will be
needing shoes again some of these
days. And the more dead chestnut
wood that can be put to the mill,
the more leather we will have to
make shoes with.
Lumber is also a war need and
being produced in large quantities
but not being used for home
building, and when the war is
over there will be a lumber mar
ket years to come for home use,
but not so with chestnut wood.
No market for that then. What
you will have will be'the insight
1y dead chestnut wood as a fire
menace to your other land. So get
this wood to market now and get
your money for it while it can be
used by the Wilkes Extract Works,
North Wilkesboro, N. C. Advt.

laid an insistent hand on Johns

(Which one?" John stood there
quietly. Slipping his hand into his
pocket he took out his field
glasses. Standing in a fold of
the curtain he held them to his
eyes.

ooh, yes, I see. How long has

ooh, do excuse me-" John Wyn-
ter turned as Fergus Letter spoke.
81 am looking for a shop kept by
a Miss Hannah. "Hallow with his
hat whipped off, showing a fair
head streaked with gray, the man
in the fashionable tweed suit
stepped forward.
''This is Miss Hannah" said
John pleasantly. IT had just
dropped in to see if she had any
silk stockings that I could send
my sister," He laughed. Both on
the same errand perhaps. Silk
stockings! Reprehensible in war
time" He laughed again. Any
thing to give that agonized face
behind the counter time to re-
cover itself. And now he was
holding Odette by the hand.
Should he chance it and make

"And I see you're in a car so you
are probably in a hurry. I'll get
along and do the rest of my jobs
in the village and call in on the
way back. Keep those stockings
for me, will you, please, Miss
HANNAH"
81 will" When would he hear
her say those two little simple
words again, but with another
meaning? wondered John, lifting
his hat and smiling at Fergus Lei
ter as he went out. Now then,
what should he do next? He
strolled slowly along. At a sound
of chopping, he walked down a
little alley.
"Good morning sir" Fraser
lifted a thin pale face.

''Where can we talk without be-

into barely-furnished front
room with curtained windows
"You can see the shop from here,
sir. Over the top of that shed with
the corrugated iron roof. Got it,
,sir?"
There were two reasons why
Letter had come on from Exeter
to Battle Point: Either he was toe
infatuated with Odette to keep
away or for some heason or other
he was suspicious. Had she be-

He would 60 round and see.

John imprisoned her long fin

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ANXIOUS
 FOR SEPT. BOUT

New York, Aug. 10--(Up) Promoter Mike Jacobs is considering possibilities of a featherweight title match be. tween champion Willie Pep and Charlie "Cabey" Lewis of Cuba for Madison Square Garden next month.
 Lewis, a protege of ex- champion Kid Chocolate, is one of five challengers whose Sl,00O forfeit checks were ac- cepted recently by the boxing commission when they en- tered bids for the title scrap.
 The other challengers are Sal Bartolo. recognized as champ in Ma. tional Boxing Association territory: Pedro Hernandez Of Puerto Rico, and ex-champions Chalky Wright and Phil Terranova.
 Lou viscusi. Pep's manager. told Jacobs late yesterday that he pre- ferred Lewis to the other challengers because he would draw more fans. particularly from the Connecticut area-Peps home state. Lewis scored two knockouts over Lefty was a New Engfiland favorite. In addition he has an excellent record.
 viscusi emphasized that Pep would have preferred a non.title bout next month with an attractive lightweight, since willies does not have to defend his i26-pound crown until October. Unfortunately, he said, none of the top.iiotch light- weights will be available.
