Registration Day in Boone was one long to be reraeraberod by the people of the village and the entire township. The young men began gathering atan early hour and by noon the larger part of them had their names recorded, two assistants to the registrar being necessary to accommodate the anxiously waiting crowd. If there was a single one of proper age who failed to register, it is yet unknown to the officials, and it is confidently believed that not one has even tried to evadt the orders seut out from Wash- ington. The best of humor pre vailed throughout the day1, and a more determined looking or handsomer Bet of soldier boys could scarcely be found.

The First Term of the Summer School opened on Wednesday, the work starting off as though it had been running for weeks or i months. The school has never started off better or with a more earnest body of students. Of course the preparation for enlist ing the young men for the war has made the number of boys smaller. frof's D. D. Dougherty, Brown, and Hartzog, " and the .Misses Reid, Stanbury, and Matney, of the regular faculty are not teach ing in the 1st term. The new teachers for this term are Dr. and Mrs. Randolph of Elon Col- ege, Miss Taylor of Raleigh, Miss Mary Torter, of Greensboro Col lege for Women, and Miss Mary Witherspoon', of South Carolina. Outings to Winkler s Creek were enjoyed by the girls in com pany with teachers on Saturday and Monday. Also one to New- and heights on Monday after noon, nans nave been made tor the youqg ladies especially to take these bikes each afternoon. A social hour was given to the student body on Saturday even ing. Dr. Davis, of the Long Sana torium, Statesville, N. C, spent a while looking over the School on Monday afternoon. On Monday evening there was held in the auditorium one of the most interest ing and enthusias tic meetings that we have atten ded. It was a prayer service es pecially in behalf of the boys who were to register on Tuesday. It assumed the nature of a highly religious and patriotic meeting, Prayer was offered by Rev. Ad. ams, ana talks were maue Dy Rev. Waters, Prof. B. B. Dough- erty, Miss Butler, and lion. F. A. Linney. These talks were in their order on our religious duty for the hour, our patriotic duty, the duty of the women, and why we are in the war and what we are fighting for. All were full of high fee)ing, instruction and en thusiasm. . Quiescent Submarines. Mr. Root and his commission have reached Russia safely; tbe Italian delegation had no trouble at all in coming over, nor the French and English in coming and returning, and the Russian party is now on the way. Mean while the mail from England comes as regularly as it does from Washington and we won der if the explanation of it all is in the fact that there are Ameri can men and American ships ov er there? Tbe submarine does not appear to be the same brag gart as of old. It would be migh ty interesting to know what has happened and what is going on over there. What were once call ed ocean lanes seem now to have broadened into 'ocean highways. We do not believe the quietus has been put upon the subma rineson the contrary we are likely to hear much more from them, but they have become com fortably quiescent Observer. PIANO TUNING E. S.

The Observer has informed its readers from Washington that Congressman Doughton has sum med up courage to lay before Senator Simmons, chairman of the Finance Committer, a prop osition to add considerably to the sum of the American war re venue by imposing a tax on dogs. Mr. Doughton has been reading about the ravages on sheep folds by dogs and in fact he has much personal knowledge on the same subject, and- this is one of the reasons he will make bold to ask for a dog tax Mr. Doughton, in answer to inquiries by The Ob server, stated that Asbe is the largest sheep-growing county in North Carolina, wool is now bringing sixty -five cents a pound or more than eighty per cent overlast year's prices. Spring lamb is bringing fourteen cents a pound, or nearly double last year's price. The average lamb weighs eighty pounds, so it is en sy to' calculate the present value of a herd of sheep to a farmer. Mr. Doughton saye every farmer ought to have at least twenty sheep. He can bqy the Htock one year and next season will be rea ping the benefit in high priced wool and mutton. Mr. Dough ton says the sheep industry will automatically develop itself in North Carolina if the dogs were once got under control. The fa mou9 woolen mills at Elkin buys its wool entirely from eastern and westeru North Carolina farmers and from Georgia, and this mill affords a market for all the wool the State could produce. But for that matter, wool is in de mand by manufacturers all over the country and there is nothing surer or more profitable. But would it not be great to Bee the war catch the dog in a tax net?
