Au article on the first page of this paper -dis. f, cusses the bonds, the interest, $ how it will be paid, eti-, etc. but oue point we wish to impress up- on the voter is what the adveut ' of the road into the township ; wjuld mean when it comes to ; plying the interest on I he bond?. f It is now almost a conceded fact fiat veneering and an extract plants will follow close in the i wake of the railroad and now, a northern company is investiga ting this section, with a view cf locating a furniture factory hen-, I for the purpose of utilizing the I fine forests of chestnut timber which abound in this section second possibly, to none in' the I South. For this plant alone, the . promoters want at least 10 acres of land, they enquiring very , minutely about our school and other facilities, which are favor- able. With these three plants in operation in.atid around Boone, : it is ensy to see that, with large : capital invested, they alone, will ; pay u Urge per cent of the inter est on .the bonds, to say nothing ; of the great influx of people and capital which is sure to follow the railroad. And, bear in mind, that every dollar coming into township will bear its propor- tionate part of taxation, there fore, ft' wti vote the bonds, the in terest will take care of itself and the Milroad would hi; u boon to ; our people. Think well before voting. : 'il lie I"1 Last week The Perapcat, in be lialf of the Watauga County Chapter ot the American Red c Cros, started a little campaign I for some pillows for the soldier j boys, and the result, although I nothing large, ' has been very s gratifying, indeeed, as 'phone messages have come to this of- I flee from ladies in various parts of the county expressing thei r t willingness to make one or more pillows, and some of the finished prpduct is now arriving at head- 1 quarters in Boone. The auxilia- . ry at Valle Crucis, that can al ways be depended upon to do ber full share when an emergency v like this arises, guarantees at least 25, and probably more, and, while we have not yet heard from Blowing Rock, we feel toe fldent that the good people com posng the auxiliary' there, will see to it that a full quota is sent 'from that point, than which I there is no more patriotic sec ' tionln Watauga county. It was our hope, and is still, that Wa I tauga would furnish 100 of these ' little comfort pillows that wil mean so much to the recipients wuiie tne cost to those wuo man ' ufactur tbem is so little. Moth l era, wives, sweethearts! wake up i to tne importances this matter! I The regulation size of the com I pleted pillow is 12,x Fros Silverrtnt A three months subscription school began at this place on Monday last, under the efficient management of Miss Stella Sher-. rill of Poplar Grove. Mr. J. P. Wilkerson has just re turned from a business trip to Butler, Tenn., where he is con templating buying.. Mr. F. R. Farnham motored over from Mountain City to Sil- verstone in his Ford some days ago when the roads were almost a solid sheet of ice. He had fine luck, however, and after spend ing the night at Silverstone, mo tored to Boone the following day. Logging and skating seems to be the tonic of the day iu these "diggin's" at pres 'lit.

After an absence of 12 yearp, Mr. and Mrs. Ruffian Kins and two young sons of Sonthwick, Oregon, are visiting relatives and friends in old Watauga. Need less to say that their many friends are delighted to have them with us again. Mr. Frank Hanson who has re cently returned from Indiana is now at the home of his sister, Mrs. E. II. Perry. "Little Newt" Mast has been very busy the past two weeks sledding from Mountain City to Silverstone delivering salt in this part of the moral vineyard.

Last year he received as first prize from the Winston- Salem Fair a beautiful stag horn carving set and blue ribbon. A young lady of this place re ceived a copy of the Saint Lucy Tribune, Fort Pierce, Fla. con taining the following item which will doubtless be of much inter est to the many friends of Miss Holtzclaw, who was greatly ad mired in Watauga: "The meeting of the Ladies Aid Society last Thursday was ren dered v$ry interesting by the an nouncement by Mrs. W. W. Holtz claw of the engagement of Miss Alma Holtzclaw to VV . S. Frantz of Koseland. Alms Holtzclaw is the charming postmistress of Roseland and known as the belle of Roseland. Mr. Frantz is the leading real estate operator of this end of the county. The pop ularity of both the contracting parties is so great that much in terst is felt in the approaching wedding."

A roerica and her allies are staud ing in the breach to stay the sel fish march of autocracy aud make the world free. It is an unselfish war on America's part. We are asking nothing for ourselves but the privilege of serving human ity. To this end we are giving ourselves, our powers, our resour ces. Many sacrifices have been already been made and many more may still be required of each one of us. Ourboysarema king the supreme sacrifice by off ering themselves unreservedly on the alter of service. It is for the rrfst of us to stand nobly and pa triotically behind then, saying: "Go forward boys, we will not fail you," and put our words into action. All musk conserve food, some prepare special comforts for the soldiers, some can buy Liberty Boiids and many more the War S ivings Stamps, some of us may s able only to stund and eher r others on to service, while about six millions more fortunate ones in serve their country and the cause of humanity just as effect- vely and patriotically as the sol dier at the front by paying a tax on their incomes required by the new War Revenue Low.taxbeirg paid on $1,000 or more by sin gle men and on $2,000 or more b married men. Whatever service may be ours, no one worthy the name of Ainer ican citizen or of the protection of our great government will fail to stand true in this hour of test- ing. The eyes of our God and of humanity of to-day and future ages are upon us. We must not, we dare not, we will not fail to m jet their approving smile. America stands unique among the nations of the world in offer ing herself unselfishly, without re. muneration, for the good of hu manity. The supreme service that we can offer is that rendered Unselfishly for the good, of oth ers. it brings ui-i sweetest ana most soul-satisfyine joy. He who has not tasted this joy has misB. ed the sweetest thrills of satisfac tion that this life offers. J. M. DOWM M, Boone, N. C. is in WHY IT 18 NECE88ARY TO EAT LESS WHEAT BREAD France, Great Britain, Itul? and Belgium must now Import 80 per cent of their Breadatuffa, Instead ot the 40 per cent, Which they import ed before the war. America must anpply the greater part of thin need To aend them the least that they can live on, we must increase our export ot wheat from ".8,000,000 bushels to 220,000, 000 buuneli. We have already exported the whole of the surplus of the 1917 harvest, over and above the normal draeands of our own population. Therefore, all exports of wheat from now forward are limited en tirely to the saving made by the American people in their consump tion of wheat and wheat products. HOW YOU CAN HELP. Have at least one meal a day without, wheat bread. Use instead corn, oat, rye, barley, or mixed ce real breads. Eat less cake and pastry. Order wheat bread from your baker at least 24 hours in advance. so that he will not bake too much Cut the loaf of wheat bread on the table- Use all stale bread for toast or cooking.
