Btanche Hagaman On Mo.nday morning January 8, 1921 Mrs. Blanche Hagauian's spirit took its flight and went to live with God. She was a woman of very fine christian character and an authority on woman's work in her community, a star in her church, and in memory of her pure christian life we shall endeavor to follow her example and thereby be strengthened in our work. And that we extend to her hus band and childrenour heartfelt sympathy partly realizing the great loss they have sustained in her death. Sister Blanche Hagaman was the devoted wife of Smith Haga man and the daughter of Mr. and INVESTMENT IN PROCRESS. Winston-Salem Journal. North Carolina is not stinting herself. Approximately one hun dred million dollars has been made available in the state this year for public improvements. In spite of the temporary de pression in business, the State and counties are going ahead on a scalejieVer before witnessed in this Commonwealth. The fig ures show us that the General Assembly of 1921 authorized two hundred bond issues. Of these $G6,24".(XK) were for state pur poses and the remainder largely for counties and school districts. The News and Observer tells the story briefly as follows: The bonds authorized for state Mrs. G. P. Sherrill of Watauga purposes inciime ;..u,uuu,utw lor County. She was born Nov. bth, the construction of a system of 1872. She was sick only a few hard-surfuce roads; $0,745,000 days and so gently did the death for the permanent enlargement aneel come that only those loved i educational ana ciiaritabie in ones who were closely watching stitutions of the state; $-),000,0C0 knew that she was uassingaway. for a special building fund to be All was done that loving hands loaned by the state to county and earnest prayer could do, but Doards of education to aid in the all in vain, for God knew best. e-ection of school building and Kboivnan mpmhpr nf Forest . $4,500,000 of (j per cent short Grove Baotist Church, and since term nott;9 her connection with the same has The authorized bonds for the been a bright and shining light, counties, cities and districts are anA hor influx will lom? be for a variety of purposes, with felt by those who knew her and schools, roads and indebtedness her Godly council among them. navinS to their credit one nun The historv of her life ma.v be dred and forty of the approxi summed uu in these words, "She mately" two hundred bond bills w.nt about doine cood."

In sorrow these counties, a total of five mill and in sunshine she was ever the ion. hundred and fifty .omu .,onti,. WahW-hristiiin wo thousand dollars, distributed as WHAT THE WAR SERVICE COST. A favorite statement of parti san critics of the War Depart ment that over a billion dollars was spent for aircrait during the war and nothing done is riddled by L. D. Gardner, publisher cf Aviation and Aircraft Journal, who establishes the facts from the official records in Washing ton. The total cost of the Army Air Service including expendi tures lor all purposes, equip; m e n t, maintenance, trainingl fields and so on, was actually less than $(i(X),00O,0t)O, The total appropriations for the Army Air Service during the war amounted to $1,07,054,758, of which sum $487,000,000 was revoked by Congress, leaving a vailable for expenditure $1,200,- 054,758. The Liquidation Divis ion has returned to the United States Treasury $582,564,781, and there still remains a surplus to be disposed of. In the United States the Gov ernment spent $113,721,043 for army aeroplanes, ,andt received 13,894 planes. It spent $139,000,-, 000 abroad for training, canton ments and equipment and other purposes and received 5,198 aero planes, making in all 19,092 air planes in twenty one months. When the armistice was signed the United States had shipped 2,091 airplanes to France and 1, 040 were on the way. Of Amer ican-made machines, 667 were in service at the front. All of these facts and figures were accessible to the investigat ion committees that the Republi cans in. Congress sent forth ijj search of campaign material, but the committees were not looking for that kind of information. But it is never too late to tell the American people the truth, that they may pass judgement on those who wilfully mislead them New York World Mori Deaths From Autos Than Railroads Automobile accidents in the United States claimed 1.474 more victims in 1919 than were killed in accidents on American rail ways, according to comparative figures compiled by tlieSouthern Railway System from official re ports recently issued by the cen s is bureau and the Interstate Com merce Coin m ission. Deaths from antomobile acci dents showed a total of 7.969, an increase of 444 over 1318, for Uio census bureau's registration area comprising about 80 per cent of the country's total population. Sixty-sftc large cities had 3,808 deaths from automobileaccidents. In railway accidents the report of the Interstate Com merce Com mission shows that 6,495 persons were killed, this figure being lower than for any previous yea since 1918 when the nwiber of persons using the railways and employed on them was much smaller than in 1919. In the to tal for 1919 are iucluded 2,553 trespassers and 1,882 other per sons, not either passengers of employees, of whom a large per centage were the victims of col lisions between automobiles and railway trains. These figures show that while the persistent effort of the rail ways to eliminate accidents has been productive of splendid re sults in decreased casualties, the number of deaths from automo bile accidents is growing year by year. man.

Those who are ex pecting to build a silo this sum mer should make arrangements at once to plant corn sufficient to fill the silo. For this purpose one of the large varieties like the Eureka, will give greatest yield per acre. . It should be planted in rows 3 feet six wide and from 6 to 8 in ches in the row. Planted in this manner the stalks will be tall but not so large around and the tonnage per acre will be greater Mr. Asa L. Wilson of Silver ' stone filled his tU) ten silo from 3 acres of ground; Clyde Peary of Beaver Dam, tilled a 40 ton silo Irani two acres. Others have done equally as well. However the-beginner should plant more John Cooper says Warren G, acres than the above gentlemen Harding is the third most noted used in tilling their silos, for we president.

On Thursday morning, March 3rd. the death angel entered the home of Brother Jesse Triplett and claimed his wife and com panion Gallic Elliott Triplett. She was born Nov. 28, 1832 and died March 8, 1021 aged years. She was married to Jesse Trip lett Jan. 1, 1479 and' to this union was born 8" children three of whom have preceded her to the spirit land. How can we grieve for her when we know that she has only gone from the troubles and trials of this life to the golden shores of a never ending eternity where sickness and death never come and we can meet to part no more. She loaves a husband and five children to mourn her loss and we would say to them do not, grieve for wife and mother but be ready to meet her when the time shall coine for us to meet our Saviour. Take comfort in these words "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord" and before she died she told her chil dren that she was ready and wanted to die, so I would say with the poet: Weep not for thy dear departed Anchored safe where storms are o'er, On the border land she left us, Soon to meet to part no more.
