Wartime Tragedy

Lots of tragedies happen in time
of war.
Harold Betz, Ell Centran, is in the
army and stationed near Buzzard's
Bay, Mass. The other day the
chamber of commerce arranged to
take seven men from the army
camp on tour Of that area. AS a
final surprise gesture of hospital
ity. the chamber officials told the
soldier who lived the greatest cis-
tance from Buzzards Bay that he
could telephone his home free of
charge Betz lived the greatest dis
tance away.
He put in the call to his wife who
lives at 869 Olive avenue, Ell Gen.
tro.
"They do not answer" the long
distance operator said. BetZ was
disappointed. He received the same
report time and again. His wife
was not home and Betz had to go
back to camp before the call could
be completed.
The chamber of commerce Off
cials, you see, forgot to allow for
the difference in time between
Massachusetts and California.
Better luck next time.

By ]. T. McLAURIN

There is great demand for
laurel and ivy stools at this time,
and during bad weather many
Ashe county farmers can great
ly increase their farm income by
digging them and putting them
on the market.
Many farmers in the Obids,
Glendale Springs and Wagner
sections of the county have been
taking advantage of this side in
come. zF SO ST.
There is no particular advan-
tage of leaving them in the woods
since they have tendency to
smother out, and keep down re-
production of marketable trees.
If they are located on a site suit
able for pasture they will have
to be dug out before a sod can be
established.
There is a special demand for
stools now since the supply from
other countries has been cut off
by the war. This opportunity to
remove a useless by-product
from our farms may not exist af-
ter the war.
Several farmers point out that
during the snowy time like I'VE
are having now, stock Especially
Sheep will fill up on the leaves
and will die. One man states
that in his opinion enough stock
has been lost in the past, from
this one cause, to wipe out the
