Spainhour delivered anl address at the Baptist Church Sun day evening to the great pleasure and benefit of all present. Rev. P. W. Tucker of Lenoir Meth odist Church was in Boone on the night of the 20th and visited the Ap palachian Training School the next morning. The local unit of the North Caro lina Teachers Assembly is being re organized, and will send delegates to the Assembly at Raleigh on the 30th. The Training School basket ball team played the team at Crossnore on Friday 24, the Crossnore team winning by a score of 32 to 16. On the 25th the school played Oak Hill here in which game the school won. The Methodists of Boone are push ing the work on their new church building to get into it at the earliest possible day, which they hope will not be .later than the first of the year. An unusually large collection was taken on Sunday considering the size of the congregation present and Mr. W. G.'Hartzog, who is in charge of the work is going forward with determination. Your correspondent had the priv ilege recently of looking over the printing office of Col. R. C. Rivers, Editor of the Watauga Democrat and it is but justice to say that he has one of the best newspaper and job offices to be found anywhere. It is equipped with a Babcock Standard Newspaper Press, Linotype, Jobber, and all modern apparatus for up-to-date work, and their work is of a high standard. The growing town of Boone and good Watauga are to be congratulated upon having such a plant in their midst. J. M. DOWNUM. Entered at the postoffice at Boone : f 2t"C7as second class mail matter. . ThpncUy November 30, 1922 ' WHERE THE RAINBOW LINGERS Often one of the beauty spots in nature is destroyed to give man an pportonity to display his handiwork. Such is the case on the Lenoir and Blowing Rock Road. Ever since the completion of the big amendment just above the foot of the mountain the Harper or Bridal Veil Falls have been admired most of any spot oh that .wonderfully scenic road. The falls, are no more, nothing but the .rough granite wall over which the waters have tumbled through all the ages to the ravine below, is left to remind one of its former beauty and loveliness. Man with his eye set on something still more attractive for the passer by, has gone above the falls, and from a reservoir the .water is forced through pipes down the rug ged . precipice to a point some dis tance below the road, and from a pipe possibly an inch in diameter, Li thrown to such a height that it vir tually turns to mist before it again reaches earth, and when the sun is shining looking ' at this wonderful cloud- kissing jet of water from the right angle the most lovely rainbow in all its many -colored splendor is ever to be Been, while the sun-glints on the limpid spray would remind one of myriads of diamonds vieing wih each other in their sparkling splen dor. It is easy to peer into the fut ure a little way and see at this en chanted spot rest rooms, refreshment stands, and possibly amusement halls inviting the traveler to stop and en joy the beauty and pleasures of this ideal spot on the face of the great Bine' Ridge. ' Some still cling tp the belief that the falls, ..leaping and racing down the rough mountain of rock was the most beautiful, (and pretty indeed it was) but when the surroundings are cleared away and beautified, sur ely there is no spot in the North Car olina mountains, the Round Knob fountain not excepted, that will in any way compare with this monster man-made geyser. If you have not seen' it yet, there is a treat in store for you. ....... COVE CREEK NEWS ITEMS. Mr. J. B. Horton spent the latter part of the week in Caldwell County looking after insurance claims. He also visited Hickory for the purpose of buying seats for the school audi torium. Miss Ethel Wilson spent last week at Granite Falls and Lenoir, visiting Mrs. and Mr. John Rayfield and Mrs. A. R. Barlow. The American Legion meeting at Cove Creek School House last Satur day night was interesting and well attended. Let us all unite for a bet ter, stronger post in Watauga. Plans are now being made to let the contract for a modern Baptist Church building here, work to begin next spring. In an interesting and hard fought game the A. T. S. won over the Oak Hill High School team by a score of 34 to 21. Both sides showed good form but the inability of the visi ting team to adapt themselves to an indoor court and to the fact that they were not allowed to use their ball, resulted iu their defeat. COWS MAKE COUNTRY RICH. When Steele County, Minnesota, held it3 agricultural fair at Owattan na the other day it became known that this little bailiwick in the south eastern part of Gopher State claims to be the world's richest community and that its wealth is founded on the dairy business. There is one cow for .every inhabitant of the county. The butter manufacture of the year is plaoed at five million pounds and valued at two and a half million dol lars. The county has twenty three cooperative creameries. It also pro duces its due quota of grain hay po tatoes1 and hogs. And most convin cing proof of all it his bank depos its amounting to $400 for every man woman and child in the county. Mr. L.' Klima publicity man for the fair informs us that the agricultural so ciety paid for all page advertisements in the Minneapolis daily papers tell ing about the fair and the prosper ity pf, the county, and that this ad vertising, was so successful that the admissions for the three days fair were 34,865 with a population of on ly. 18,000 in the county. , , Eviden , tly it pays JLo .keep dairy cowb and pays to advertise.. We are willing to do our part in boosting this live community, hence $hU editorial. : Farm Life-'- tit;'()l,M By the terms of "the "will of the hte Kfcrl Von ; Ruck of1 AsheVille, an eminent ' tuberculosis ' authority; who died the 5th, approximately1 sev Mt hundred' thousands of , dollars is bequeathed for scientific research in to the prevention and -cure of tuber euMfcni Tfct, VpiCRuck .Research La tSTTtarj jwhlcfc rtedj several 1 A3, k XiAhej Ute Btt Yon .Rutk tre w pe UHA' WJWlMsehi ld f those tuberr 75 MILLION REINFORCEMENT CAMPAIGN I have done the best I could as the D'.ector of the Reinforcement Cam paign in the Three Forks Association and that without one cent compen sation. Others have freely aided in the work and without their efforts nothing could have been accomplish' ed. It is hoped that all who have not done so will pay at least three-fifths of their pledge this week. Some of us are making what might be called a sacrifice, albeit a joyous one, to meet our pledges. These pledges are solemn obligations to God, and are more binding than a debt to our f el- lowman. It is hoped that everyone who did not pledge three years ago, and those who have joined within that time will pledge for the remaining two years and thus have a part in the greatest work assigned to man that of bring ing the world to a knowledge of Je sus Christ. It was also our hope that every church in the association would take a special collection for missions. Mis sions should be laid upon the hearts of the people and they should give to it regardless of pledges. We are also hoping that every church in the association will take a collection"f or the Orphanage. Many of the churches have already made their offerings. Let us do our best for the Orphanage. What a great thing it is to have a part in this great campaign! The souls that will be saved through it, the suffering it will relieve, the little children it will help, the aged preach ers it will comfort, the good it will do and the inspiration it will bring to all, only eternity will reveal. All mission money should be sent to Walters Durham, Recorder Build ing, Raleigh, N. C, and the Orphan age money to F. B. Hamrick, Thom asville, N. . C. Yours for a great victory, F. M. HUGGINS, ' Associational Director. THE SERVICE STATION OF CIVILIZATION Outside of those who deal in food clothing and shelter, no other busi ness might be so aptly termed the "Service Station of Civilization." The variety of materials is almost innumerable. Because a drug store must carry such a tremendous range of things, in order to serve and pro tect the health of its community and to afford its patrons every conveni ence, it is impossible to carry a large stock of any one article. The amount of profit on any one sale is very small, The druggist if he continues to remain this convenient. "Service Station of Civilization" must depend on many small sales of an in finite variety of household supplies, medicines, toilet articles and other things. . I ,. The . utility of these service sta tions of Civilization", would be real ised more if they- should cease to ex ist,, than they, are . now appreciated as reality. ,,!. .-, .. . i--YOUR DRUGGIST IS MORE THAN .! .
