'BUY NOW' PROGRAM
TO BE INAUGURATED
MONDAY, OCTOBER 9
Will Be Nation Wide
And Continue For
12 Weeks
PLAN IS EXPLAINED
\
America is ready to Bwing Into
another great movement to combat
the forces of unemployment, and for
the next twelve weeks a nationwide
program will be under way to speed
up the momentum of the business
machine. Just how these farflung
plans will be carried out was de
scribed today by C. G. Armfield,
chairman of the local N. R. A-.
committee.
"Thiß project quite naturally fol
lows the Blue Eagle campaign he
said, "which has captured the imag
ination and the enthusiasm 6t the
entire nation as nothing has done
Binoe the stirring war days of 1917
and 1918. The Blue Eagle drive,
including the codification activities
of the N. R. A-, has resulted in plac
ing more than 90 per cent of the
business of the country under the
President's Agreement. More than
2,000,0u0 workers have been reem
ployed and millions of dollars have
been added to the weekly pay en
velopes of those who toil. All this
has spelled tremendous happiness
for millions of homes and has com
pletely changed the economic out
look.
* "But it is to be remembered that
this addition to the buying power
of the public has also placed bur
dens on business because of the in
creased payrolls. Business must
be speeded up in order to make it
possible for these loyal employers
who are operating under the Blue
Eagle to continue to maintain their
added labor costs. Then there are
•till many millions of men BtiU out
of work and jobs must be found
for them. Something like 3,500,000
families are now receiving public
relief, and, with winter coming on,
this number will be greatly increas
ed unless business in general is
stepped up to a much faster clip
than is the case at present."
Mr. Armfield then explained the
methods by which it is hoped these
•objects will be attained.
"The activities will be based on

large and active chicken hawks have
been seen in (locks or coveys or
whatever it is hawks are supposed
to be in when they hold a conven-
Surry and Wilkes coulTties
daring the past week, it wfes learned
here Tuesday from different sources
of unquestioned reliability.
In the vernacular of those "as
what seen 'em," so many hawks
banded together is something to pon
der and wonder over, And they
were really hawks, too, not a large

In Auto Wreck Monday
NEAR YADKINVILLE
Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Kel
ly Crash Into Blind
Car
ARE IN HOSPITAL
As the result of a head-on colli
sion between tlieir car and another
machine occupied by two men,
whose names were not learned, Mr.
and Mrs. David Lee Kelly, o£. Yad
kinville, are in a Winston-Salem hos
pital severaly injured.
In addition to painful lacerations
about the head, Mr. Kelly sustained
a broken right thigh. Mrs. TCelly,
who is the daughter of W. G.
Church,, Elkin chief of police, sus
tained a severe gash on the face,
the wound extending from below the
right eye to her chin. She also sus
tained other lacerations about the
face and head and suffered the loss
of two teeth.
The accident occurred about one
and one-half miles west of Yadkin
ville late Monday night. The young
couple were on their way home from
Elkin, where they had visited Chief
and Mrs. Church, when their ma
chine was struck by a car running
without lights. Although making
every effort to avoid st-riking the
car, which was said to have been
on the ivrong side of the road, it
crashed into the Kelly's machine.
Both machines were said to have
been running at speeds of about 35
miles per hour.
The force of the impact caui»ed
the door of the Kelly's automobile
to fly open and Mrs. Kelly was
thrown to the pavement unconscious.
It was said that Mr. Kelly did not
realise that he had been badly in
jured until he attempted to get out
Qf the machine to go to his wife's
atd.
The couple were carried into Yad
kinville from where they w efle
rushed to the Winston-Salem hospi
tal. Neither of the two mer in the
machine, one of whom was a
Negro, were injured nor was their
car badly wrecked. The Kelly's car
was almost totally demolished, it
was said.
Reports obtained from Chief
Church here Tuesday night were to
the effect that both Mr. and Mrs.
Kelly were getting along as well as
could be expected.
At last reports no action had been
taken against the men said to have
been responsible for the wreck.
YADKIN FARMER
WINNER AT FAIR
Guernseys of M. P. Shore Win Two
Grand Championships, Ffve First
Places And One Second Place
Two of the caltle of the Guernsey
herd of M. P. Shore, whose 600
acre farm is located near Brook's
Cross Roads, were adjudged grand
champions at the Forsyth County
Fair at Winston-Salem this week.
The cattle, a cow and a bull were
adjudged the best on exhibition in
any class.
In addition to the grand cham
pionships Mr. Shore's Guernseys al
so won five first places and one se
cond place. His herd Is made up
of 13 registered c6ws and two reg
istered bulls.
Correct this sentence: "There
are many ways to make a fool of
oneself," said the man, "and I have
missed all of them."
Of the three groups of hawks .seen
one group numbered no less than
65, ifot counting the children, an
other had 90 members and the third
16. Two groups were seen in
Wilkes and the other in Si'rry.
In the estimation of one local
man, the gathering of the hawks
forecasts a war of some description
on some other specie of bird. An
other is of the opinion that the
hawks are jealous of the popul&r
blue eagle. But regardless of this,
that and t'othe* opinion, all have
agreed that chicken raisers had
better keep a close watch on their
flocks.

BAPTIST REVIVAL
.IS BIG SUCCESS
Visiting Preacher Wins
Many Hearts to
Christ
One of the most successful re
vivals held in Elkln in several years
came to a close at the First Baptist
church in this city Friday evening.
Rev. Charles B. Howard of Enfield
preached for the eleven day meeting.
In addition to the services at the
church each evening, Rev. Mr.
Howard preached at Chatham Manu
facturing company and Elkin Furni
ture company during the noon hours.
Rev. Mr. Howard's messages were
clear, forceful and appealing. No
preacher in North Carolina is said
to be more loved and esteemed than
this' "country pastor" as he desires
to call himself. His coming to Elk
in influenced untold good among
the hearts and lives of those who
heard him. Hundreds of lives
were rededicated to-Christ and their
respective churches and twenty-four
additions were made to church mem
bership.
Rev. Mr. Howard was accompanied
to Elkln by his wife and little
daughter. Mrs. Howard won an
abiding place in the hearts of the
people with her musical contribu
tions to the revival.
It is hoped by all who heard him
that Rev. and Mrs. Howard will re
turn to Elkin next year for another
revival.

before any loans were to go through.
The home owner, it was pointed out,
will first have to obtain the loan
through the Home Owners Loan
corporation, receiving bonds up to
80 per cent of the appraised value
of the property, and these bonds in
turn would be accepted by the banks
