That is frequently the situation : wo years before a Presidential campaign.

At the moment it 'looks as if it.] .-.ill be more difficult for the Demci-j can rally ail llemocrnts to his sup-; .n't than for the Republicans to! mend their political fences. * * Jones 1'11nhI?y ' Jones h:is at last answered the question: How can a man ay golf all the time ami still keep h:s law practice going? The answer is that he can't. Bobby is giving up coif. except as a means of recreation. It remains to be seen whether Mr. Jones will do as well in low as he has done in golf. Ho has proved that he has the important quality of thor.ichness. Those who know him soy he has a natural taste for "saw. and high intelligence. He will not have the struggle for existence which so many younger lawyers face, for while his amateur standing has kept him from making money out cf his game he is to get a sum, reputed to be a quarter of a million dollars, for making a series of educational films oh 'How 1 Play Golf." That ought i?? keep him going until he has estab , lished himself in law. 1 Probably Mr. Jones is doing only? what hir. elass and instincts and j environment urge upon him. There*' are still too many people who think) ihnt being a lawyer is a more rcspec- i) table way of making a living than being a goif professional. But it| recmp. to me that wo have too. many i a lawyers now and not enough good) ap^fenw* * * Belasco David Belasco, a San Kraneiseo j Jew who dressed like a Roman Cath-j lie priest, was the father of the mod-1 em realistic drama. He thought that' rtop'o on the stage ought to act and J talk the way people do in real life.', and that the settings ant! furniture j of the stage ought to make the j scenes look like the sort of places) they were supposed to represent. Bclasco's work in drama hv*p,nn j about the time Mr. Edison invented{ Hthe incandescent electric light. The* electric light probably did as m::eh| as any other influence to change '-he; drama from the old ranting pan':*#mirne into what it is today. ic eHs| bled the audience to see the actors clearly, and make facial expression arid careful make-up move impjita.iv: than they had been. Bela^cu was the first th*nir;ealj producer to realize the possibilities j of electric lighting on . the stage a:;d to shape his productions with the new lighting in mind. Today everybody in the theatre business, including the movie producers, follow the principles which Belasco developed. Prohibition All the reports from those who profess tc know indicate that the ?. President*? commission on Law En. Jforcenient, better known the K^y^JWickersham Commission, will report, that the Present prohibition law cannot be ^enforced ar.d will recommend some changes. There will be more serious at tempts made at. the coming session j -of Congress to break down the "dry" law than at any time since ii wax; enacted. There is little likelihood of; anything being accomplished by the; " wets" at this last session of the; 71 si Congress, but if the- Wicker-, sham report proves to he friendly to j the modification of the present law, | watch 'for fireworks when the Con-j grass fust elected begins its sessions. * * Football It took the appeal of charity to bring- the Army and' Navy football teams together. For several years the annual Army-Navy game has been omitted, because of a quarrel! over points of sportsmanship. When the two teams meet in New! York on becembe 1.8, it will be| frankly for the put: j^e of helping to. raise money for J relief of un-! employment. Early~ .-.timates of ihe receipt; indicate tlTat they may iun| to a million dollais, or almost as j - much as the "gate" at the last Tun-! I ney-Dcmpsey fight. ' I It is a strange bnt intei ..sting kinkj ft of human nature that people will pay fancy prices to see a football game; p for charity, who would never think i S ' mm A Non-Fartisan N< BOONl 400 BUSHELS IS GOAL SET FOR AN ACREOF'TATERS Much Intarest Being Manifested in ! Newly-Formed Potato Club and! New Members Being Added. H. R. j Niswongrv Give? DetaiU for fn-j creasing Production of Spuds to New Hir-\ Levels. Promoters of the nctv 4Q0-bushel! potato ciish arc delighted with the! response of the farmers of Watauga. New names are being added right. along to the original list of those who i expect to break records in potato j raising next year. 11. R. Niswonger.f horticulturist of State College, has! furnished the following information; as to hov\ 4CO bushels per acre may I be produced, and the article will be of interest to Watauga agrarians. Varieties hi Wattuigu County I one may find such varieties as the! Irish Cobbler. Green Mountain, Sir' Walter Raleigh and tin* White Filer! pliant. The Sir Walter Raleigh is aj .--codling of the New York Rural and j (he White KUphant is the Late Reality of Hebron. The Cobbler var iety; predominates and seems to fil bur Southern market requirements from; July to late fall. As a rule the general markets do not like the White i Elephant oh account of its numerous j oves :?n?l tH*> cVtii" ir-.. v.. ...... ..... ; "* VVV" ; which 5s undesirably long? The Cob-j pier is the earliest producer and does' host in a light soil avcomponicd by . an abundance of moisture and cool \ Weather. The Sir Walter Raleigh and White Elephant are late maturing varieties and the Green Mountain intermediate These varieties are not so exacting as to soil and climatic conditions. All these varieties require spraying and dusting in order to check late blight disease In choosing variety to plant, you'- market re- I tjuirenicnts must be {riven first consideration. Rule* to Follow 1. Land must he well drained and abundantly supplied with humus .so as to hold the moisture. Humus can j bo supplied by turning: under a good j sod lamb clovers or soybeans. Pota-1 toes are seidom profitable without a ] legume or manure turned under. Plow land in fall or early win-i lc-i aud prepare the soil before plant-! ing in nueh a way as to be fine and j mellow as deep as the plow went. This is very important. 3. Use good seed, certified seed preferred. Only use the culls or No. 2 when they come from a high producing hill. It never pays to use No. 2's when seed is cheap. 4^ Dip seed in corrosive sublimani before plan tin?? in order to control scab and black -scurf diseases. Plant 25 to 30. bushels when a legume crop lias been turned under, less when soil not supplied with humus. Use medium-sized potatoes. Cut blocky seed pieces by splitting the tuber lengthwise. Large potatoes lengthwise and then crosswise. Seed pieces should weigh at least two ounces or the weight of a No 1 ben egg, regardless of the number of eyes. Plant seed as soon as cut. 5. Make rows from 30 to 36 inches apart with seed pieces twelve! inches apart in the furrow. Fertilizers :If manure is available it should he used on the previous crop of legumes or grass at the rate of 10 to 15 tons per acre. A fertilizer mixture of an 8-1-4 or S-5-5 or! 7-5-5. or one high in acid and potash' should be used at the rate of 1,000! to 1,500 pounds when legumes or manure arc- used. The more concentrated fertilizer mixtures may be used but care should be exercised in disiribuii iig TnC?reriii?6ts^?. vVv u ly iiiv the furrow ir, order to prevent damage to the roots and tubers by burning. Work the fertilizer deep in the furrow so that the elements will be available as root system develops. 7. Kill the weeds early by frequent going over the field before the potato vine appears, with ?. light int. row or spring tooth weeder. Some continue this practice even after the potato comes" up or until they begin to damage the vines. Practice, level cultivation. Do not let a weed grow. 8. Spray or dust in order to control flea beetle and late blightSpraying-?Use home-made Bordeaux Mixture made up with three pounds of b!uestone,_4 pounds of lime and 50 gallons of water, adding to it 2 pounds of arsenate of lead or one pound of calcium arsenate which has been previously made into a thin paste. Thorough spraying will require 75 gallons of water per acre when the vines are small up to 125 gallons as the vines develop. Dusting?Use any of the commercial prepared poisoned copper lime dust mixture. Ten to fifteen younds per pcrc at each dusting. \\ lien spraying or dusting keep all leaves thoroughly covered Begin stuaying or dusting: as soon as the pianU come up ar.d repeat every two weeks for the rest of the seas->r,. of giving the same amount of men ey outright. As high as So,000 was offered for a box at the Yankee Stadium as soon as the Army-Navy en I gageme r.t was announced. JGA swspaper, Devoted to the 5, WATAUGA COUNTY.

The original' letters are us-! | ually includcd^and these letters ask) for all kinds of help, clothing and j j money, etc.; and make all kinds of statements as to the desperate needs) of the writers' family.

We arc not saying that all ol' these i cases are unworthy, but when we I look them up we usually find that vthe'yiare what we call bbhSs livers'-1',\ ?seldom a f*amil> really in need asks for this help. For'-years'we have j hveen hoping that each letter would] be the last. They keep coining. With-| in the last month ten such letters have been received by us. and we } feel that the self-respecting people ; in this county should know just who are writing those so called "begging | letters."' and we are going to have the list of all the letters received aft; or this date, open to the people of this county.

What is the consequence when a i wayfaring screech-owl, winging its ! way homeward from nocturnal vamj blings, comes in contact with a motor car, mearrdchng along a mountain j road? Correct. Oscar; the owl is ' killed, the windshield is broken, and ; a driver is scared clean out of his j skin. This is what happened about : daylight Tuesday morning when j Jim Carter, carrier for the Asheville J Citizen, was driving down Valley { Mountain. According, to him, the impact of the two objects sounded very much like ?? French .75, and the shock he received almost caused i him to leave the road at a very precipitous point. He brought the owl to Boone, airing with the broken windshield, to prove his statement.
