To thousands of middle-aped an
elderh Americans the news of th
death of Mrs. Isabella M- Alden wi
come as a surprise that she shoul
have lived so long, and will caus
man> a sign of regret at the spaj
ping of another link with the irr<
claimable past.
Under the pen-name of "Pansy
Mrs. Alden wrote more than 12
books, which were enormously poj
ular in the 1870*3 and, indeed, dow
to the beginning of the present cer
tary. She was horn in 18-11, and bt
.fere 1850. more than eighty ycai
f ago, her first story had been put
li.-hed! The wife of a minister, a
? f her books were of a distinctly re
iigious cast. Her most popular serio.
the "Esther Reid" books for girl
and young women, sold into the mi
ions, if was largely through Mr:
Anion's writings that the Chautauqu
educational movement gained it
great popularity.

That was the count on April 1. 1 !>of

persons undei the United, States fla
is U7,501,501.
There are but three other govern

none of the Dominions?Australia
Canada, the Union of South Afric

Scotland together, has anywhere nea
as many people as we have.
And we are still growing. Th

Twenty-tour hundred and eight

the year and prevailed all over th
country, our population would soo
grow so large that we could not sup

As a matter of fact, the natiom
birthrate in the United States is rap
idly approaching the death rale. Th
proportion is now about 20 deaths t
every 23 births.

(Water Rate Increased
To Meet Interest Rate
I To meet an emergency brought
about by the fact that the income
from city water and sewer rents has
been insufficient to pay the interest
on the bonds floated for the construc.
t?on of the water system, the beard <
of aldermen, after having held an
advisory session with representative
d taxpayers of the city, have decreed
ie a slight increase in the cost of t'n
11 service. Hereafter the charge for \vad
ter and sewer right shall be $1.75'.
;e per month, for water alone SI.25 and j
i- for sewer alone $1.25. The newj I
i- scale represents an incresae of 50 [1
cents on the combination service. J t
In view of the fact that Boone hast 3
0 perhaps the lowest rate on water to! i
i- be found in the country, no meters! 1
n are employed and the quantity a <
l- housewife may use is unlimited, the) t
i- citizens of the town, as well as the!
s officials, felt that the slight change! <
>- in rate would meet with general ap-|i
11 provai. The water system was in 1 :
stalled with the idea of its paying j
>, its own way and a raise was neces- ;
is j sayv before it could do this. i

PERSONALITY CONFERENCE
TO BE HELD THIS FALL
It was announced last spring aft- J
.? er the successful initial meeting at .
51 Lees-Mcllao College, BamVcr Elk, of 1
? the Personality Conference that a *
j second such conference would be '
I held this full. This new educational ,
01 movement was inaugurated by the 1
v S school principals and superintendents
_ of the four mountain counties of
Yancey, Watauga, Mitchell and Avy
cry. In Western North Carolina,
v The immediate purpose of this }
h conference is to bring together so- i
jr lecteu groups of high school stu- I
n dents from the four counties men- 1
s t.ioncd to listen Jo inspiring talks by ^
s outstanding speakers on the best <
v ways of developing personality and t
^ to discuss nmnno* KHomiwlwc vm-iAnr. c
| neisonality problems. The aim is to :
: help these students in building up '
' their oven characters and to enable '
i them to exert good influences in 1
j their schools. The conference will
y I also, it is hoped, be a means of bind- J
y ir.g the high schools closer together. '
e If high school students are to he >
d fitLed for useful citizenship, they '
f must have the threefold development
a o{ heart, head and hand. The whole '
e man must be educated, and the inn
dividual must learn how to discover
his own personality and how to develop
it so that it will impress itself '
il upon others for their good.
>- Last year fifty-five students were j
e in attendance for two days at the
o Personality Conference held at Lees-! ,
McKae. The program at this first J
i- meeting was of general nature. J
e "What Is Personality?" was discussed *
t- by Professor Kenneth J. Foreman of i
i- Davidson College; Dr- Rbbert Yost ]
e of King College spoke on the ques- *
e tion "How Can Personality Help Me
y to Succeed?'7, and Mr. Victor M.
t. Davis, of the University of Tennest
see gave an address on "How Can i
i- Obtain a Winning Personality?" The ;
group dsicussions were also greatly ,
enjoyed.
e It is hoped that this Personality \
Conference will become an annual
one and extend to the high schools j
of all the mountain counties. The j
principals and superintendents of j
Q the four charter counties are about }
w to meet to decide on a program for
1_ this fall's conference to be held at ,
Lees-McRae probably in October. A i
>e tentative one has been prepared for
ty their discussion and the one decided j
on will probably treat in a definite .
way of the various factors which go 3
to make up a personality, such as
V? willpower, books, manners and man- j
s- nensms, high and low ideals, cheer- ]
!<1 fulness, indifference, graciousness .
?- and many others, not all of which, i
's of course, can be treated in one
"e meeting, but which will perhaps pro <'
vide subjects for succceeding ones. ,
The interest in the conference is 1
w widespread and it is felt that its future
will be assured and will have a 1
j vital influence for good in shaping
the lives of the mountain young people.

he North Carolina Department 6l
\griculture, has sent out the followup
letter to stockmen in this sec
ion:
There is a serious shortage of feet
"or livestock in a number of ou:
tounties. All feed possible should bi
saved this fall in order to meet th<
.ituation as far as possible. With thi:
n mind, the following suggestion:
ire timely:
1. It is too late to plant summei
.rops to be harvested and stored thi:
vinter, in most counties.
?. Harvest all forage possible ant
store for winter use.
3. Cut com as the blades begin t<
tire above the ear, cure in an opei
shock and put under cover when wel
utred.
4. Keep livestock on pastures a:
ong as possible before feeding be
tins. Feeding value of short dry gras:
s very high. Pastures are expected t(
nake rapid recovery with fall rains
5. Save corn for work stock ant
maintain other stock as far as possi
)lc on pastures.
f>. Conditions are usually favorabli
for the growth of fall sown graii
ihd clovers. Acreage should bi
rreatlv increased.
7. isncourage vuu i neighbors is
buy seed now before the supply ha
been fed or sold for feed. As fa
is possible, assist farmers who hav
'eed for sale, in selling it to othe
farmers in your county.
8. If "farmers must buy feed, as
sist them in every Way possible t<
buy it co-operatively.

F This is as it should be. In the old

in five months- Therefore, no pri-j

high in Watauga or at least. I S
in the office of The Watauga Deni-I
ocrat. Calling there today to see if
Bob Rivers and his boys were work-J
ing the Washington hand press, I c
asked the editor about the cabbage r
crop this year. ! recalled that when t
the editors weve here four weeks ago J
the cabbage growers were in the ?
dumps. Farmer Stanbury told me I
then that if rain did not come soon, a
the farmers growing cabbage would
he badly hurt. The outlook was bad 1<
then. It looked like it had forgotten f
now co rain, But it is very different I
flow. Though some crops have been n
badly, hurt, and the grazing land.: i
and stock hav stiffbred mo?t. the a
ram came in the very nick of limeI
to .save the cabbage crop. ! ?
"Talking about eabtbagosJ5| said 1
Editor Itiveys. "I am some cabbage 1
in-owt'v myself. Wait here a minute-1* ?
He disappeared and :n a few minutes
reappeared and gave, my wife threej 1
immense cabbages as big as a man's
bead. "Here are cabbages enough to-1'
give the old man cold slaw till I come
down to the State Pair when I will

were solid, white, beautiJ"til and will J
help to fill out for many days in the *
editor's home. All the -Tiggses in the
country will be envying the if they j J
see these cabbages. "But cabbages j J
are not the only things in which Wa-j*
tanga excels," said Editor Rivers, j *
"Look at this potato." They don't! 1

''Here is a Potato I want you to take i v

Mountain by Pink Hodges. It weighs c
three pounds and nine ounces, enough
to feed the whole News and
Observer family for a whole week,
maybe a month, if you are trying ^
to preserve your girlish "figger." ;
Next to cabbages, the potato is the J
biggest money crop in Watauga, and
the rain came just in time to prevent
much injury to the potato crop which j
is large. Some of the potatoes are
sold for seed to Eastern North Carolina
and Southern truckers who
grow white potatoes for the early
markets- The bulk of the crop finds ~
markets in North Carolina and the
adjacent States, and are delivered by 1
trucks.
To return to Cabbages and Kings} or
Xing Cabbage. I went to the kraut j r
factory and talked with Prank Mil-j
ler and Mr. Blair, who were busyj;
getting the plant ready to turn out
kraut. Already several million?maybe
it was only several thousand?cab- bages
had been received, preparatory
to the opening of the plant tomorI
row. It is a big place, fitted up with
modern machinery, and from now
i on will he about the busiest place in
I Boone. In the early part of the year
j Mr. Miller said he contracted for
cabbages to be grown on 80 acres.
I This insured cabbages for the kraut
: factory and insured a mnrkot f/w fl?/?
cabbages to the farmer before he
started his crop. The price is fixed
in accordance with the prevailing
price of kraut.
"You see," said Mr. Miller, "the
farmers have already begun to deliver
from the eighty acres under
their contract," pointing to cabbages
without number in the receiving end
of the building. "A full run is 50 000
cases of kraut- We put them up'
\ in two-pound cans. The wholesale
price is $2.10 for two dozen cans of
one pound and 12 ounces to the can.

Sossamon's Sayings
By LEROY SOSSAMON
A TIME FOR EVERYTHING
rhere's a time to laugh and a time
to cry,
A time to embrace and say goodbye;
rhere's a time in love, a time to be
out;
A time to be sorry, a time to pout;
riieie's time to be merry, time to
be sad;
\ time to smile and pretend you're
glad;
There's time for a speech and time
for a song;
And a time to choose between right
and wrong;
th v. ? +r
xitcic ? " ctffic ivi iuuiOi rt wine **?isages;
Time to study prehistoric ages;
There's a time to study, a time to
sleep.
And a time to sow what we later
reap;
There s a time for this, a time for
that?
But there should NEVER be time
for a SPAT!
But you will find that in this world
Nobody will start such a Ttile;
Every day in this, old world
Somebody is piaying the fool.
Why this is I cannot tell you,
Because I know not the reasonBut
this 1 know?come Spring, come
Fall?
Quarrels are always in season.
