af/ffi&gcf ^jrrp l oaay and Tomorrow i By FRANK 1\ STOCK BRIDGE I Atheism The Russian government's war I ..gainst religion may prove the spur) eeded to unite all Christianity into j lakin^r common cause against the nemios of God. Incredible as it; sounds, the armed and disciplined mi- : ority which controls Russia has pro- 1 hibited religious teaching and preach ;ig, is seizing churches and fonvert- ' ng them into museums and factories, . * killing missionaries and confiscatug the properties of farmers who Y'jpport the churches. There have been many religious!, ;ars in history, but always each side I . y as professed the fighting to be in j 'he name of its own .God. The organ I . ojf this anti-religious movement in J. Tussia is a newspaper published in ; loscow called "The Godless One." j The avowed purpose is to stamp out i 11 religion and destroy ali faith. j < / iinU.co ru,.;,n?n:t., *? *1 r w ...w.,. ?_ ...uuiiuj in ii> tui'.' vr:? ; . ailure. a greater war than the world! as ever seen is inevitable.

The) other day he paid ?2,700 for them j n th" United States Court. Thirty collars a duck. That is the fine im-1 l\ posed by the Federal government fori J; killing eider ducks, for which there j * ^ no open season. Too few hunters are informed of j v n- Federal game laws which protect] J niigratory birds. Before going out 1 with a gun one is required, in most 9 Mates, to take out a shooting license 1 s>nd to be informed about the State r.nd local game laws. Any State game t anion can give full information t about the Federal game laws, also, j s \ ITr.lc;;:* they well as State laws are I 1 enforced, there will soon be no gamejv left to hunt. ?

Mills, one of the brothers, decided ho wanted to do some good with his money. He gave a radio set, to a crippled woman in the village. . She got so much pleasure out of it that he gave some more radio sets . to shut-ins. He got. so much fun out ,. of that that he told other men of; 11 means about it and they began giving away radio sets. Out of that has ; grown the "We Follow Him Club" with members all over the United j li States. Thousands of radios have been { given to hospitals, to charitable in-! h Hstitutions and to prisoners. All anyone has to do to become a member? 1 is to give a radio set to some "shut-! in" invafid or prisoner and send his! a name to Mr. Mills. , Greatness ; p J attended a social gathering a few night ago at which those present i F were asked to decide who were the 1 a live greatest men of all time. Several persons offered lists of names lp ?*nd the prize was given to the one . 1 who named these: Greatest men: Buddha, Julius Cae- 1 say, St. Paul, Charles Darwin and Karl Mar-. Greatest women: Joan '.>f Arc, Queen Elizabeth, Florence i e Nightingale, Queen Victoria, Susan B. Anthony. !

C.?William Howard Taft was buried Tuesday afternoon beneath a spreading: oak tree, just as the first sunlight of a dreary spring day broke over the wooded hills of Arlington National Cemetery. A steady downpour of rain Lhrough most of the day drenched ;housa?ids who lined the streets for Washington's most impressive state funeral of many years. But as the >ad clear notes of taps echoed over :he hills bordering the Potomac River he skies cleared and sunlight sprinkled the landscape. The burial was brief.

At 5:15 'clock death snuffed out at last he_ flickering, flame.

Sugar Grove Man Makes' Money From Tobacco I To the Editor of The Democrat, Boone, X. C. j Having: been the first man in this j section of the county (u grow or cn ; '.courage the growth of tobacco for j the market, and from last year's j | sales of just a few hundred pounds) .by several families in ihe commun-J j ity.

Our soil is very fertile, as is well j known, in this Cove Creek section? | frpm one end of it to the other, and ! where an acre can be made to yield j a net profit of from $250 to $500 (and it actually does), then Watauga ] can put'on her best smiles. This throughout various other see-1 tions of Watauga County properly! managed is capable of bringing into j this county more money to our people than the sale of sheep and cattle, saying nothing of the costs, worry and trouble in the growing and taking care of the livestock. By this I statement, however. I certainly would not in the least degree mean to intimate that our cattle and sheep raising industry should be abandoned or in any wise diminished, but am only suggesting from years oi* experience and observation in Tennes ] see. where 1 have made my home mid for a great part of nineteen years put my entire labor and attention to i the growth and management of ?<?| bacccT. I hope each person interested in this iu?w industry may put his entire attention?to?its-growth and taking the proper care of and us~all to the end that Watauga may see a brighter day and that we may defy panics, or as some say, "slight depressions," and place a complete cheek on the .Sheriff's advertisements of the people's property for taxes. 1 assure each and every one, in case I can be of service at any time! lo tnem 111 advising or doing other- j wise toward making a success of their j growth of tobacco crops, that I shall j he pleased to do so.

The pinch of hard times has had j a very marked stimulating .effect. j Almost every man has been figur- ; ing some recently. Not so strange i to say, ninety-five per cent, of tnc j farmers and other business men j have figured that a hundred bush- i els of potatoes at a low price ] brings more money than no pota toe? at all.

NEWS ITEMS OF APPALACHIAN STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE A number of helpful programs have been given at the college for the past few days. Among these was a fine one by Professor and Mrs. j Greer. Other good ones by Misses Wary'a and Weaver's classes, the i Burke-McDowell County Club, and others. Ail of these were greatly en- . joyed by ail present.

It has been suggested by some and I pass it on, that the more pub- ; lie spirited citizens of each com- j m unity take a little time to suggest to any one who is not quite so much interested that he, if able 1 ??. ?.v "itue more of those necessary commodities, so that there may not -be quite so many calls on the taxpayers of the county about this time of year.

DCRA st North Carolina u>ao. j "Yes, We Have No Whooping Cough" | Only once in. a lifetime does the editor of a weekly newspaper become "popular" and that is when he makes a mistake. Tie editor of this sheet erred last week in the local columns when he stated that several students who are known to be suffering from whooping cough, continue in attendance at the Boone Graded School. Since last publication day a steady stream of protesting tutors, male and female, has been constantly harassing the "old man" wibS the question: "Who told you so?" They point their fingers accusingly and menace the scribe with glaring features, and all he can say is that "the. report was publicly and generally circulated." And then they explain that the slightest "sniffle" from a student at that institution sends the "sniff ler" home post haste; that there is no sickness in the school, and that they don't like that story last week even a little bit. And we are sorry that we misstated the facts, and wish each patron of the school to know that THERE IS NO WHOOPING COUGH IN THE BOONE SCHOOL. Thank you.

Sheriff Moreland Is "Forced Out" of Job Eli/.abeUiton, Tamil?An order for cessation of picketing of highways in v *;i: ! r ; ;.y by members of the United Textile Workers of America, Monday was followed by resignation of Sheriff -j. M. Moreland, who declared lie was forced to take such action by a grown who wanted him to get out on the highways am! "shoot down pickets." A strike was called last Sunday by the union at the American Bern berg and American Ghnrzstoff mills. The Sheiiff's action came within 24 hours after a petition signed by 70 citizens had been presented to Attorney General Ben Allen asking that ouster proceedings be instituted against the officer because of allegeu IlicOiupetv.'cr and inability?to enforce the law. The petition was withdrawn a few hours later. An order to cease picketing was issued by Paul Fuller, southern educational representative of the American Federation of Labor, who declared such action was taken to preserve peaces and "prevent some serious outcome." Fuller added, however, that pickets were recalled only temporarily. In announcing his resignation, which was accepted effective March JOi Sheriff4 M oreland said: I was forced out by a hunch that wanted me to go put on the highways and shoot down pickets if they did not do like these people wanted them to do." The officer also charged that 7f> special deputies sworn in when . -i. f. < - UB ?- HI titS sinj*i! can was issued were on the pay rolj of the mills. This was denied by George F. Duggcr, attorney for the rayon mills, who said the deputies were sworn in by the sheriff and were paid by the county in a legal manner. Dugger also declared no one had asked Moreland to ''shoot, down pickets."
