Horton, of Vilas, , i; .Was in town Monday and band rwi The Democrat the following letter from his son Sara at Brest, V- rV.; . . ..i. ... .. f ranco, fctne nignt alter luear- ' mistice was signed, which is the v v first we hav seen from a, Wataiu; 'lO' an since hostilities ceased. It ; follows, io part: . "To-day has been the most wonderful day of my life, the day that has seen the downfall of Germany and the success of Right over Might. To write to you of y-j my impressions and feelings f would be impossible because am too full of happiness to c x press it. " ' .' "I must tell you my experien ces of this day, perhaps the most historic of all time. To begin . with when I went to the door this morninff. I saw the most beautiful sunrise I have everseen and someone standing by my si ie said, 'See the dawn of Peace,' and the dawn of peace it provtd to be. Imagine an expanse of water, filled with a hundred ships with lights ablaze, stars over heart, the sun just beneath the h lrizon- and throwing its light ahovp nnd around those ship?, and aou can undetstand that moriiHur j-cene. It was great Then about 8 o'clock new came tlmr G -rmany had signed the ar n i-ricp ond hostilities would M il o'clock. You know Ik ' : t thui Went wild ab--.- . i 1 .1 wt-nt to Brest on :btiitv,and to deHcribe what I km v there would be impossible, but ns long as I live it shall nev er be forgotten. To see the hap py faces of French mothers and to ' our that oft repeated phrase " le guerre est finis" was enough to make a smile anywhere. Still I saw other faces not 60 happy, . no many mourning veils and sometimes tears streamingdown the faces of aged people as they watched the happy throng and thought about that lonelygrave or. I in Flanders. The . bands played, b'.h French and Ameri can, everybody paraded streets arm iu urm. and the bells, gun and aeroplanes overhead kept up a temble ntise Eiiylish, P.t tugtse, Ital inn, French an 1 Am erican soldier and sailors mirch .. ed through the townsiifgingnat ional song', bnTinjr (!rmn and ci-lebrating in the biggest way. Of course everybody had a girl at leasr part of the time and oh, the time we had. I finally bi oke away from the cro .vd and have just got in. Now. I am thinking of home and of how on I'll be ready to leave for the good old U. S. A. I have put ia my appl -cation for flint nisign U- fl. N. ; R. C. and my papers are now on . .their way to Washington with ' recommendations and everything ' necessary, so whether anything will come of that now, that the war is over I do not know. Any I way, I'll se) loved ones before so Very long. ", ' "Yesterday tifterroon while in town I met a friend of W. F. C.

C; I was disaDDointed in not seeing the amount of $101.10, which sent in May 25, 1918, which was contributed by the Meat Camp Auxiiary. A great many who con tributed to this fund will read the report and, ho doubt wonder why it U not reported. I hold receipts for it from Prof. Greer and Mis Pearl Hodges, buthave not; the opportunity to present them to all the contributors. So, in justice to myself, I beg leave to make this statement through your columns. M. H. XURRH. Had Mr. N orris taken the time and pains to have read the Chairman's note following the Treasurer's report, . this trouble would have been eliminated. The amount referred to was raised during the War Fund Drive, re ceipted for, placed to the credit of the Fund in the Watauga County Bank, and was duly pub lished in these colums at tjje time. Amounts reported by the treasurer are those received be fore aud after the Drive, and uo amount was reported by her thatenter-dinto the War Fund, as that was done when received. We nope this explanation will be satisfactory. R. C. RIVERS, Chm TriiciPf Scbool News. Thanksgiving day was obser ved in a fitting way by the stu dents and teachers of the school. At 11 a. m. an appropriate thanksgiving service was held in the parlors of girl's hall, and was well attended. It was con ducted by Prof. Downum aid consisted of suitable songs de votional service, and a talk by the leader. The true spirit of thanksgiving seemed to be pres ent. The school has bought a grist mill of the Meadows type, and will soon be prepared to serve the public in grinding wheat, ryr, buckwheat and corn. The boys' new dormitory ii now under cover, and work is proceeding on the insi 'e. The Sipetintendent aud Prin cipal ar busy getting the bi-an nual report of the fichool teady to present to tfie Legislature. We art- glad to learn that Mi Farthing has almost recovered f.'.tin her recent attack ofiufluen-2-i and will soon Le able to n turn to her work. The .School has been' eddinc more coal to the amount alra- dy meived so us to have its full winter supply before the intry weathe; set in. Mr. !d. Allen. Cashier of tte Frm National Bunk of lnoir. called at The cninpna Thursday. T Our ezporta since il.ls country entered the war have Justified a statement made by the Food Ad- ministration shortly after Its con ception, outlining the principles and policies that would govern the solution of this country's food problems. "The whole foundation of de- mocracy," declared the Food Ad- ministration, "lies In the indi vidual Initiative of its peopb and their willingness to serve the Interest! of the nation with com plete self effacementln the time of emergency. Democracy can yield to discipline, and ire can solve this food problem for our own people and for the Allies in this way. To have done so will have been a greater service than our Immediate objective, for we have demonstrated the rightful ness of our faith and our ability to defend ourselves without be ing PrusslanHed." i ,.

All the Ford parts used by Ford dealeos aremanufac tured and supplied by the Ford Motor Company. If your car .requires replacement of any part or parts, is in need of repairs-don't experiment; don't waste time and mon ey trying to "do it yourself."
