But Barbara shook her head

wonderingly. "One would al

Edith was aghast. But I do,
Barbara-you've done everything
in your power to make me happy
here. 1 wish we might be really
friends!"
Barbara shook her he ad.
There's too much to keep us
apart, I'm afraid. If we had met
under other circumstances,
have a feeling we might have
known a rare friendship such as
women seldom have
Let's forget those circum-
stances!"
'Burk said you might be like
this!'
Edith asked quickly, "Is he
coming tonight"
Barbara could not keep the
bitterness from her short laugh,
Hardly. There's no love lost be-
tween Burk and Whit"
I'm sorry. Your brother seems
an interesting man. I met him,
you know, on the roadway the
other day"
HE told me. He-he's the salt
of the earth. Edith. No finer man

"Yes-it's nothing serious"
Where is he?"
''In his room-sleeping now"
Then of course l can't disturb
him."
'No-better not. Well, here
come our first guests. Shall we
join your grandmother"
But Edith realized that some
thing of the glamour Of the eve

not be there. For Barbara, too.
she supposed, noting the air of
determined gaiety she assumed
like a mantle and which some
how did not quite seem to fit.
THE party was soon in full swing.
Il The crowd filled the house
and spilled over onto the lighted
lawn. Old Eugenia, seated in State
near the double doors leading
from drawing room to hallway,
watched with alert black eyes,
her wrinkled face alive with
memories.
She watched Edith in her white
frock and headband of roses.
dancing with one of the Wynn
boys. A fine match that would be!
Edith and one of the Wynn boys.
Keep her here in the blue grass
country always. A true Lacey she
was!
A party in Kentucky! For few
moments Edith longed achingly
for her mother, in a way She
knew she'd never have her again.
Suddenly the big, brilliant room
was blotted out as if it had never
been, leaving her forlorn and
helpless, a prey to the checking
sense of bewilderment she thought
she had overcome. A stranger in
strange land. Shut off from those
she loved. Even Whit, her father,
had deserted her. -.'
' There was commotion at the
back hall door lit penetrated
above the sound of the music.
Edith saw Josie's face blanch, her
hand holding a full cup trembIed
so that some Of the punch spotted
the ageleSs lace cloth. She saw
questioning glances dart from one
face to another. Barbara had dis
appeared. Something was wrong.

To complete the letter:
How can he be born into
Gods family? A well-educated
man asked the Lord Jesus Christ
these very words when He was
here on earth. This is the answer
from Gods Word, the Bible: But
as many as received Him, to them
gave He power to become the
sons of God, even to them that

Edith wondered if Eugenia
were really prompted by doubt
as to the suitability of her frock
or if she were possessed of q
childish curiosity. She went to
the carved mahogany wardrobe
quite willingly and took down q
flowing white frock which, though
in the latest fashion, carried old
Eugenia back to the days when
she reigned as a belle in this
same old house.
Julie, the upstairs maid, pass

her eyes until Eugenia ordered

make the party a success. -
She found Barbara looking
tired but lovely in cool greer

Her face was flushed, her dark
hair damp about her forehead
and Edith thought she swayed c
little with fatigue.

TO GET MEN HOME

Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson
SAYS that the United States had 100000
men in the Pacific theater at the first of
the year. More than One-half will be re-
lieved within the next four months as the
force is reduced to approximately 100000
men.
Mr. Patterson also promises that a
large additional number viii be relieved if
new men are sent to replace them. This
puts the release of service veterans up to
the people at home. Obviously, unless
there is a steady flow of requirements
from the United States, there cannot be a
steady flow of men coming home.

Welcome Tourists

This section has had and will continue
to have during the next three months
large number of tourists. More and more
people from all sections Of the Southland
are being lured to the Mountains OF West
ern North Carolina. We extend hearty
welcome to them. We hope they will stay
as long as they can and will come back
again.
The aforementioned section, with its
matchless scenery has much to offer.
Tourists, too should mean much to us, not
only for their business, but for the good
will they create. Those who come this
summer and enjoy themselves, are the best
advertisements we can have for years to
come Many Of us come in contact with
them daily, so let's 60 out of our way,
whenever possible, to make their stay
pleasant Often it is the little things that
make people remember vacation Let's
give all our tourists big welcome.

Speaking Freely

What this country needs is more indi-
viduals who feel that adherence to prin-
ciple is more important than personal po-
litical prestige. Cynical realism and po-
litical expediency have brought the United
States to the brink of collapse. AS one
American housewife asks in desperate
earnestness, "Where are the lobbyists for
America, for justice and for TRUTH" Mil
lions ask this same question. They are
frightened by the atmosphere of horse
trading and the jockeying for power so
evident in high government and labor cir
cles at time when the world is crying
for craftsmanship as well as food.
It is like breath of clean mountain
air when responsible person in public or
private life speaks out unequiVocally for
what he believes to be right, and in &C
cordance with basic principles of the Amer
lean idea of government, even though it
may not be the popular thing to say at the
moment. Such people are rare today. That
is why the country is slowly drifting to-
ward socialism and bankruptcy.
There is no one lobbying effectively for
solvent government; for the right of the
individual to join or not join labor union;
for an end to the strangling clutch of gov
eminent bureaus on the activities of every
private citizen. It is not popular to lobby
for these things because too many people
have the idea that in bureaucracy and or
gained compulsion lie sanctuary from in
flation.
Fear of the hazards of the postwar
world has led to confused restrictions and
suppression of natural forces which can
only result in an explosion of some kind.
When it comes, those millions who believe
in this country and its form of government
will have to lobby for America as they
never lobbied before.

Improving Our Schools

The county commissioners took step
forward in including the schools IN the
tax levy While the increase is slight, the
amount will give the county start to-
ward necessary improvements in school
property.
A county cannot advance any faster
than it's educational system In this coun-
ty there are a number of improvements
that must be made on the grounds build
ings and equipment. None of this can be
done without some funds. Most counties
have long had school levy and we think 1t
is a progressive step forward, that our
commissioners have included the schools
in the county's levy.
The destruction of the Nathan's Creek
School building by fire last year, makes
a complete new building necessary there.
New buildings are needed at Elkland and
Fleetwood and there are buildings that
new many improvements and additions.
Let's keep our schools up to par Our
schools belong to us, as citizens and tax
PAYERS and when we consider their I'M
portance l am sure that no one wants to
see them lacking.

Conservation
Farming News

"Boys, we've got something
nere," remarked an Ashe county
farmer a few days ago. This
farmer was referring to the cut
ting of a drainage ditch with
ditching dynamite. Approx
mately Is farmers from Ashe and
Allegheny counties gathered at
! the farm of G. R. Edwards in the
Baldwin community to witness
the use and effectiveness of
special nitroglycerin dynamite for
ditching.
George Winchester, district
conservationist for the Soil Con-
servation Service, was in charge
of the demonstration.
The sticks of dynamite were
placed in holes about 16 inches
deep and 10 inches apart in a
straight line through the swamp,
using only one electric cap to set
off the charge that sent dirt and
rocks flying into the air leaving
a V-shaped ditch 400 feet long,
averaging six feet wide and three
feet deep.
The cost to Mr.. Edwards for
the dynamite and cap was $34.45.
Labor for digging a ditch of this
kind by hand would cost many
times this amount, if it were
available.
Many acres Of the best soil in
Ashe county could be brought
into profitable production at
small cost per acre by using this
method of ditching.

Keep Your Car In Shape
Better get your old car fixed up.

Better get your old car fixed up.
1t is true that automobile manufacture
ers have Strengthened out lot of their
problems and are speeding up production,
but it's still going to be long, long time
before supply of new cars will even ap-
proach demand. Even if there were no
more strikes, no more delays, and produc-
ton breaking all postwar records, it would
still take until at least 1850 to fill the de-
mand for new automobiles.
Before the war many of US got in the
habit of replacing our car when the time
came when it needed major repairs 1t
seemed more economical in the long run:
But today, when you face the decision Of
whether to have the old car fixed up or
order a new one, you must introduce an
other factor For, except for lucky few,
the choice today actually is whether to
have the old car fixed up or go without
one for a long time.
