Clean-Up Time
MARCH, the first month of spring.
\v ill be ushered in Sunday, ant! n
warm weather will soon be with us o
again. This article is just a remind- si
er that the time is ripe for a general
clean-up of Boone premises. Natu- v

ways, and properties which during l
a greater part of the year are neat si
and orderly, become untidy and dis- tl
tasteful to the eye. A few hours of p
work by each homeowner will bring ;g
about a marvelous change in Boone'si p
outside appearance, and will save a {w
great amount of labor later. And if
citizens want to help out the un- [t
employment, situation they should
have buildings repaired and other a;
improvements made or properties
now, as materials and labor are the ^
cheapest in many years. o:
And lei's talk a little about pig cj
pens. On Tuesday afternoon, when ,,,
gentle zephyrs played about and ?
balmy weather prevailed, one of ^
those springtime breezes, coming ^
from whence we knew not, brought ti
to delicate nostrils the unpleasant
odor of pen or pens. If you have
one, will you please keep it clean, or ^
better sti'l, let the farmer over in _v
the "back country" supply your ^
porcine needs. Anyway, let's clean
up Boone. j ^

Good Resolutions
MR. J. M. Morel* read resolutionsj x j,
to the Farmers Institute last'*j;
week, which if followed up by the
people of Watauga County would be j j|.
calculated to relieve the financial |,u
problems within the year. The paper
was so well received by the a?rarians
that it was unanimously ap p>
proved.
The farmer-business man suggests, .J
two ways of changing the local hal??|:j
anee sheet. The first by growing: and ^
marketing crops calculated to bring ,vj
lii mote money than we are pay inn
out. and second by the practice- of ^
rigid economy. In line with the latter
thought Mr. Moretz suggests that
the Sunday afternoon joy ride costs j
W&tangans $10,000 a year, and won- |
ders if some of this might not be
eliminated. He further suggests thai
fewer c7.othes and more patches, on
irouser seats would be helpful. The ?
resolutions ask that this be a debt- '&
paying year and that twelye months
hence every man sees to it that he pr

"The Way of Life"
By BRUCE BARTON
MARTYRS
It was ouco my privilege to witess
the .establishment of a new region.
The founder was John Alexander
owie. who first appeared in the
hieago newspapers as an obscure
xhorter with a talent for strong
mguage. Though he went through
le city and suburbs holding: outdoor
wmiiuirc hi* iiUMfturl I'oinnnrnliw
; little attention until one night a
oedluni hit him in the eye with a
alien egg.
At once he assumed a new charder
and importance. Insliad ot
eing merely a sensational denouner
he became an incipient martyr-pionhet
persecuted for his faith.
Converts Hocked to his banner,
loiity poured ir:. he founded his
\vn city, and finally proclaimed hvin
elf the reincarnation of Elijah.
He had undoubted talent, but it
as the stupidity of his opponents
rhich persecuted hint into success.
The liery old doctor, with his picuresque
white whiskers, has long
ince passed across the river, but 1
hink about hiin whenever (he newsapers
oefeiu t<? talk about the dan
er of "Red Riots" and the police
reak up a harmless mass meeting
ith their clubs.
England, older and wiser than we
t many respects, manages these
lings much Better. She knows that
n agitator is harmless unless you
y to suppress him. Only then does
e become a menace. She sets aside
ne end of Hdye Park for the exusive
use of the agitators. There,
eery afternoon, and especially on
undays, they meet and shoot off
icir faces against the government,
le church and whatever else they
laiiivy.
One of the wisest things President
ioover has done was to release the
iolish young men and women who
ere arrested for picketing the
r'hite House. He said that he did
ot propose to let any silly folks
hieve "cheap martyrdom" at the
)vertmtenrs expense:
A wise man of an earlier day was
Pharisee named Gamaliel. When
e first persecution of the Chrisins
hegan he protesting
"Hefrain from these men and let
em alone, for if this counsel or
i5v work be of men, it will come
naught. But if it he of God, ye
ititiol overthrow it. lest haply ye
found even to fight against God."
If the Pharisees had taken his adiv
the n^w and strugirliog little
? t hiight conceivably have passed i
it in obscurity. Jlut they went on
ith then persecutions and "the
opd of the martyrs became the seed
the church."

International Sunday School Lesson
for March 1
JESUS SENDING FORTH HIS
MISSIONARIES
Luke x, 1, 11, 17. 21, 22
Here is a lesson that is mucli larger
than appears at first glance. Toj
j many fail to reach the heart of the
matter because they arc about a*
unrelated as those who flippantly
talk about 'giving it the once over."
Dig deep this time and .. ju will discern
the program that Jesus presented
to complete His entire missionary
enterprise. He did not piu.i
to reach the people en tuasse, ;
when He fed the five thousand. lit.nlon
* - A1 '

in a "Win One" campaign that should
r.cvcr end. Some time before He hu-J
eoinmissioned the Twelve to go toiHi
as workers. Ntm* He starts SevcbTy
-in their way as ambassadors v>i the
Kingdom of God.
hi that day the area was more
thickly peopled than now. Every individual
was a prospect and the Master
Teacher was eager to have each
one Invited to before a believer, a
follower, ar.d in turn a "Win One"
worker in further extending the
Kingdom. It was heart-breaking to
see the populace in their spiritual
ignorance and without any inner
power jo help them up to God's way
of thinking. Again, the Omniscient
tells how the desired end can be
accomplished. The same method is
the one to be followed today though
tin? population is much greater than
in that generation. The direction is
found in the Golden Text:" "The harvest.
indeed is plenteous, but the laborers
are few: pray ye therefore
the Lord of the* harvest, that he
send forth laborers into his harvest."
Then you can rejoice at the resuit
which was reported at the conclusion
of the itinerary. The Seventy were
abie, through spiritual power, to win
.many as believeis. Miracles were
i wrought and these confirmed the
value of the teachings. Why have
thousands of Churches in America
not added a convert in a year?

VERY THURSDAY?B90NE, N, C,
t M. P. TRIVETT COMES TO
DEFENSE OF FOX CHASE ,
? Editor Watauga Democrat
i Well, boys, if I can get: the Editor j
i to print this, I want to tell you what
I 1 think of running foxcr ffr <p?vtri:
I have just recently boon out with j
* some of my good friends listening J f
r lo some wonderful fox races. Wei '
. don't run them to kill. We run themj
i for the thrill we get out of the chase, j
Hoys, we have had some races that JI
* make the chilli run up your backjjj
and the hair stand straight up on 1
your head. We get a thrill from tlu i A
, chase that does not come any other *
. way, and we just like each other bot-jd
) ter after its over.
> There is a tie of friendship that {
t naturally exists between fox cha. - j
[ ers (1 say fox chasers and not fox ^
* kdlers) that don't exist between oth i
er folks. I hope the time wiil soon "
* come when there will be a law eii- j
acted against trapping- foxes or any "
[ kind of game. If the cruel practice I
* of trapping was done away with then ,
we lovers of dogs and the chase could \
' have sport that would pay us to buy; j
hunting licenses and pay dog taxes, j*
Why not protect foxes? They are |
about the only game in this county,
for real sport. The fox usually lives <1
on mice, moles, insects, etc., thatj,
are destructive to crops?occasion-}
ally thev kill chickens and vountr: 4
I turkeys. But kill tlieni and examine!:
their stomachs and nine times outj
\ of ten you w ill find nothing in litem r.
but some thin j- that is destructive toj
crops, as far as living creatures are i
concerned.
We pay our dog taxes, buy our'
hunting licenses and why not do away :
- with taking any kind of game with
i the steel trap, which is inhuman, and
i the most cruel way of taking game.
; I am not a fox kiliei and no not
' want to be classed as such. I run!
' them for sport, and not for the pelt.1
I am deputy game warden in this j
section, and I do not see any way i
. to do anything worth while unless'
trapping is prohibited.
I think fox chasing is one of the
cleanest sports anyone can engage
in. Some of our best people engage \
in it all over the United States, in-1
luding preachers, judges, lawyers,'
and statesmen of high standing.
Boys, don't kill the foxes. A deadj
fox can run no more. I think ;? fox [
chasei has little to do who intention
ally kills a fox. Of course, occasion
ally, our dogs will kill and we can't j
help :t. Fellows, von can put me
down as one who loves to hear those i
oid hounds run.
Yours for the chase.
