range the formation of tents and
camp buildings into the design of
a "C." When the tents are set
up 'on their new locations they have
floors. Hitherto the boys have had
to put up with dirt floors. The

The other game. -on- last Satur

of 5 to 3. .
The outstanding feature of the
game' between Rainbow , and the
camp boys was a home run knock
ed out by Thompson, the Foxes'
whirler. Supporters of the conser

closer than the score indicated

Trip to Kansas City Ends
Unexpectedly at Asheville
Ji.ihiv: Kdwards had been hoping
for months thai he could go to the
national convention of the Young
People's 'Democratic club, scheduled
to be held in Kansas City, June., 15
to 17. As liic, time drew near,
however,-John decided Kansas City
was a long ways off and he just
couldn't afford the trip.
Tuesday morning some of the
Staunch Democratic brethren decid
ed that Macon 'county ought t
be represented at the convention
So, after some hustling and bust
ling, they scraped together a size
ableiacl;-potvti.o.URhtoseiidlvvi
to the convention. Edwards and
"Frank Norton, tli'ev acreed, should
make the trip. 1
So John and Frank, all steamed
up, . hustled home and into their
Sunday duds. A few hours later
they were in Asheville, cocked and
primed for the -'trip to Kansas
Citv in a cross-country bus. Their
tickets were bought and their suit
cases already loaded aboard. '
"Paging Mr. Edwards," a bus at
tendant called. John looked around
surprised and curious. It was a
telephone call from his wife. She
had received a notice that th
and 'did not begrudge their victory.
The Foxes defeated the I ovvee
team, two weeks ago, but this .did
not .'count .in the league standing,
as the. camp nine had not. signed
up as ' a regular member .of the
league at that time. .The- standing

for the games not played, a series
of doublehcaders is planned. Rain

U S. GETS LAND
AT$U0 ACRE
Large Acquisitions for
National Forests
Approved
LANDHOLDERS GLUM
Only 429 Acres Approved
For Addition to
Nantahala
Purchases of forest land totaling
443,90878 acres at an average price
of $1.70 per acre- w;ere approved at
a meeting of the national forest
reservation commission in Washing
ton last Friday, according to an
announcement received from the U.
S. department of agriculture.
The list of approved acquisitions
for the federal forests included only
42 acres for the Nantahala forest,
at a. total price of $' ,214.25, or an
average .of $2.92 an acre. All of
this' property is in Clay county, it
was learned at the headquarters of
the forest in Franklin.
S;.Fevrr Offer Received
heriinTcha ws-are beingrxon
sidered for the Nantahala unit, but
forestry officials have been some
what disappointed at the few offers
they have received. Under the
government's new acquisition plan,
millions of dollars have been made,
available to expand the forests, but
word has been sent out that - the
money will be spent where it can
buy the most. No definite appro
priation has been set aside for any
particular forest, so that land spec
ulators would be unable to take
advantage of the government. ,
Landowners Disappointed
Owners of mountain property in
Macon county are frankly disap
pointed at the prices . the govern
ment is paying, although the aver
age is higher in this section than ,
in many other parts of the country.
Few are willing to sell even rough,
untillable mountain land for two to
lhreedollars an acre. Hitherto, -
prices in this section have ranged
around $3.50 an acre for national --
forest acquisitions
The 4 announcement from the de-
partmentfgricuItuTerwhicir-has-supervision
over the forestry ser-
vice, said - that - the- government's -emergency
conservation program
will be extended .to - manv of ,th e-
areas embraced in new purchase
a i 1 soon, a s. jh ey ..are.def initely ac-I
quired. That will mean the estab
lishment of additional conservation
camps in the, forests which are ex
panded to any considerable extent.
The acquisitions approved for the .
Nantahala forest comprised the
smallest tract added to any of the
government's 28 national forests,
except one, only 128 acres having
been approved for the Natural
Bridge forest in Virginia. The
Cherokee reservation in Georgia
and Tennessee gets an additional .....
4,537 acres and the Pisgah reserva
tion gets 2,071 acres. The largest

To Permit Railway
Freight Surcharges
The Interstate Commerce Corn
mission today directed seven sutes
which had refused to permit sur
charges on freight bills to allow .
the railroads to make such levies.
The decision- "was directed " at "
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Florida,, Ken
tucky and Ohio.
These states, together with sev
eral others not mentioned, declined
to authorize the railroads within
their borders to apply surcharges
authorized -. for - interstate - com-
merce. '
The commission after an investi
gation found that the resultant
spread between interstate and in
terstate rates would be unfair to
interstate shippers. .- .
BANK CLERK SENTENCED
