Elkland High School Has Large Attendance ~ Elkland High School at. Todd open ed Monday with a record attendance, there being: about ISO entering the grades and high school. A number of patrons were present for the opening. The devotional exercise was conducted by Rev. Emory Moretz. Then Professor W. B. Bowlin introduced the speaker of the day. Mr. W. G. Cole, editor of the Aslie County Journal, who delivered an inspiring address which was much enjoyed by everyone. Following this. Prof. Bowlin called on Mr. I. E. Duncan, member of the local school board, who spoke most interestingly of the changes that have token place in the school since he came to Todd 35 years ago Following Mr. Duncan. Mr. Kon Davis, of t>e faculty, talked for a few minute? about the progress of the school during recent years, and of the bright prospects for the present school year. Each of the other teachers was then introduced by Professor Bowlin, who responded with short talks, expressing their pleasure at the opportunity to work in the school arid pledging their best work during the present year. A good many improvements bavej been made about the building and j grounds since last term. A new room; has been added ro give space for the! grades of the additional teacher, last year's average having justified an-j ether teacher. Mrs. Ron Davis acain has charge of the first grade ; Miss Laura Miller j teaches second and third grades. MissFawn Watson, fourth and fifth, and; Mr. Ron Davis, sixth and seventh' grades! The high school is taught hvj Professor Bowlin and Miss Gladys! Ki Hoy, Increase Income by Selling Waste Wood By cutting out low grade tim-l ber and trees from overcrowded forests, farmers in North Carolina can increase their income through the sale of wood to chemical companies and pulp mill:. Much of it can also In? used as fuel and the better pmbetij saved. "A farmer can tret from *2 to $oj a cord on the stump for second j growth or old field pine, culi poijars, black gum ami sweet gun:*," says R. W. Gracber, extension forester at State College, "and with the present low farm prices, another 1 source of income shouid be welcomed by North Carolina farmers." Through the co-operation of a large paper and pulp mill, the Extension Forestry vlepnrtment of State Col-j lege has been able to assist a few l farmers in marketing a limited amount of such wood this seasoned, j On almost every Piedmont farm! tbevo are crowded stands of pine with trees over-topped by stronger! ones, or trees too rough to make lumber, states Mr. Graeber. These trees will furnish material from four tc. twelve inches in diameter and just the woods that pulp mills desire. Gum trees, both black and sweet, and some defective poplars, also make desirable pulp wood. According to Mr. Graeber, the timber crop has great possibilities for the average farmer as a means of balancing his year-round program for the uke of his labor and teams. It will be profitable for every farmer to make an inventory of his woods and work out a program for taking a yearly harvest of such size that will give a perpetual crop, he says. The extension forester from State College is available for assistance in solving* these problems. Halifax County farmers say that crops have never been better m that county. o < I z z z t Faithful Brushing * Z For Glorious Hair Z * | Hfe | 11 Regular daily brushing cannot . ? help but have its reward in a + J glorious wealth of hair. % Xlenzo brushes with their spe- % J cialiy prepared brsitles arc J guaranteed to stand the serv- + J ice demanded by thorough daily J i > brushings.

C ?I 1 r ? ^U?UUJI CIV4IUUI wesson for September 13th I MISSIONARY EXPERIENCES j Acts xiv, 8-23 From Antioeh in Pisidia Paul and! Barnabas went to Icoriiutn and the experiences at :he previous station were repeated. At first there was! marked interest on the part 01 both j Jews and Greeks. All too soon jealj ousy again led to serious persecutions i and the evangelists were forced to' I go further in carrying on their work of evangelizing. Lor it be rioted that ct no time did the toubies they met cause them to abandon their programs. | Lysrra was the next place for | work. Here preaching seems to have' I beer, in the open and the usual crcwd : j of cripples and beggars were part of; j the audience. Interest centers in a [man who had bean a cripple from birth. As Paul toid of the power to heal on the part of this Messiah, who had been crucified and risen from the dead, the helpless man saw the first gleam of hope that had appeared thus far on his horizon of life.; I His eagerness and faith were evi- j I denced in his face, which when Paul: I noted brought forth the amazing com- ] ! niand "Stand upright on x'ny feet." I Forthwith there was a leaping into! j fullness- of physical strength and! ; soundness of body, j The townspeople could explain the . [result only by thinking that their gods; had come among them. They called! Barnabas Jupiter, and Paul was| named Mercury. Tradition says that Paul was baldheaded, short, bowleg-j god and had bad eyes. It was Barna-I has who must have been fine in stat-' are to be taken for their chief god.1 At once the priests of these supposed | gods planned to offer a sacrifice and oxen were brought for the purpose.! Paul would not accept any false! praise and it was only with difficulty that he made them accept the fact; that he was just an ordinary man,} but with a message that told about j the only God, and His Son, the Saviour. The wise man is occasionally admired, but far more interesting is be who has devised a new folly.

BROWN DISAGREES I WITH J. HAMPTON RICH J Editor Watauga Democrat: I One consideration alone induces ! me to notice an article in the last issue of The Democrat. Some time ! the student looking for data on thej development of Northwestern North j Carolina will turn to the files of The I Democrat and will find it recorded! there that <. Hampton Rich and an! organization known as the Boone I Trail Highway and Memorial Asso-j nation of which he was the director i secured the building of a road from t Winston-Salem to Boone and on to Tennessee. My information has been that the Ho one Trail Highway Association nnsisfc ' K..? <<rv t i?? v. oomi' ivn.ll, UUI V/Ulimyi j Rich says the organization has, or | has had, four other members whom j ho names. Of one thmg I am certain :\ Neither II amp Rich nor the Boone Trail Highway Association over had anything whatsoever to do with arousing interest in good roads in Watauga County, in securing a bond issue in the county, or in building the Boone Trail Highway or any other road in the county. And Rich had just about as much to do with the movement which resulted in the State program of road building as he had with the roads in Watauga County. ROY M. BROWN. i Chapel Hill, N. C.
