GRAND RAPIDS, Sept. IL -
(AP) - Possibilities of battle
over the no-strike pledge at the
CLOS United Auto Workers
convention increased today as
an opponent of the pledge an
nounced he would seek the union
presidency.
Robert Carter, of Flint, ad-
vancing a platform calling for
revocation of the pledge and
claiming rank and file" sup
port, entered the lists against
union president R. ]. Thomas,
who advocates retention of the
pledge.
Until today no rival had come
forth to challenge Thomas, who
has repeatedly called for the
UAW-CIO to keep the pledge.
Critics of the pledge have
charged that arrangements in
some cases have "taken advan-
tage" of the unions promise.
Carter, representative of
Flint Local 651 of the AC Spark
Plug Division of General Mo-

Thomas on the proposal to elect
a third vice president of the big

Dewey struck strictly to the Of

nearby ranch discussions with

he will continue what now ap-
pears to be a fixed strategy of
criticizing the administration

the counter-attacks aimed at
him.
In two speeches and almost

Dewey has banged away at the
theme that the Roosevelt admin

to handle the changeover from
war to peacetime pursuits when
hostilities cease.
On the other hand, the nomi-
nee gave an example of facility

Death And War

We have read with interest a recent
statistical report on the causes of death in
the United States from April, 1913, to April,
1914, which reveals that even in wartime,
many more people die from disease and &C
cidents than are actually killed on the bat
tlefronts. Taking the age and length of
life into consideration, we are still alarmed
at the comparative death rate on the home
front
The figures show that during the past
year 294 out of every 100000 persons have
died as a result of enemy action whereas
1925 out of 100000 have died from heart
trouble, 1898 from cancer 74.0 from cere-
bral hemorrhage, 695 from diseases of the
arteries, 1913 from pneumonia, 1913 from
chronic nephritis, 1872 from tuberculosis,
1873 from diabetes and 53.5 from accidents.
All of these causes have proven to be
greater enemies to life than the Germans
and the Japs.
Although war is a needless waste of
life, and we should do everything possible
to prevent it's recurrence, over the years
it is not nearly as hazardous as germs. If
we could ever find the answer to wiping
out cancer alone it would save many more
lives than have ever been lost in any war.
With the many new drugs that have
come into use during the war and the
progress that is being made in research,
we believe that before many years, many
major diseases will be brought under bet
ter control and many others stamped out.

Farming Notes
BY ROY H. GROUSE

Many Ashe county farmers will
be short of necessary rougnage
next winter due to the drought
cutting the meadows short. rms
feed shortage can best be taken
care of now by cutting a part OF
the corn crop for silage. start
now and construct some type OF
silo to be sure to have it ready by
the time the corn is ready. Inc
best stage of maturity OF corn
for silage is when@@sthe @corn rs
denting or in the late dough
stage. \
Permanent types of silos are
being constructed in the county
as concrete trench or brick up
right silos. Scott Cox, of Crump-
Ter, constructed brick silo last
fall which he finds to be salts
factory and reasonable in price
for permanent silo. Max Bar
low, Will Sutherland, French
Baker, Floyd Jones and Robert
Gambill are making preparations
now for building silos similar to
Scott Cox's.
More silos are needed in Ashe
county to supply our cattle with
a better winter feed. Silage is
one of the best and most econom-
ical roughages for cattle. 1t is
economical because a large guam
tity can be grown on a small
acreage with a comparatively
small amount of labor and only a
small loss is sustained during the
harvesting and feeding opera
tons. When crops suitable for
silage are cut and fed dry, a loss
of 20 to 80 per cent of their feed
ing value usually occurs during
the curing and feeding operations.
Silage is succulent, palatable
feed. It is the best substitute for
grass during the winter months
and is valuable supplement to
pasture during dry periods in the
summer. It is also a very neceS-
sary feed for dairy cows.
