Forest Fires Endanger
County Seat of Aver>
Newland, county seat of Averv
County, was threatened with destruction
last week when forest fires swepi
over a ten-mile front from the re
gion of Banner Elk. Every availabli
resident of the county, according tc
the report, turned out in a success
ful attempt to turn rhe red-tonguec
monster away from the village. Wit!
axes and saws they felled trees ant
crocked the advance of the flames.
A group of fire fighters fron
among the student body at Lees-Me
Rae College at Banner EU: joine<
ti e other workers under the directioi
of Pro feasor Ei icson, and were callec
out again Wednesday to check th<
new threat of fire, and several hun
dred citizens continued to patrol th<
blackened forests to guard agains
new outbreaks. The forests of th<
mountains are as dry as tinder and ir
me absence ot a state fire patio!
prompt action of citizens is alom
responsible for the saving of bun
dreds of thousands in timber am
buildings.

Ashe County Poor Farm
r Grows Large Pumpkins
r This (Wednesday) morning ib?
e | "old man of the shop" made a hui
ejried trip to West Jefferson in com
11 pany with friend Cushion, salcsmar
-(for the Caskie Paper Company ol
Charlotte. While in the little city, w?
- had the pleasure of calling on Mis:
- Ruth Reeves, the vivacious ownci
- and editor of The Skyland Post, anc
. ia good local paper it is. too. Thi:
? j being "rag day" in her shop she. wit!
.; the office force, was busily engage*
- i in mailinv thr? ismia -fresh from the
i presses. However, regardless of he;
- rush of work, she took time for i
- short chat.
i, i Miss Reeves is fully in love with
i her work, and is succeeding: very
, j nicely, regardless of the slight (?)
1J st ririgency throu gh v, hich we ar<
-{passing-. She thinks, and rightly, too
f |that Ashe is one of the hest counties
I in the State. As to what Ashe car
11 raise, she pointed to the rear of t
, I press, remarking: "There is a smal
pumpkin; it was too little to mak<
. ;a note of. It was raised on the poos
, farm and only weighs 47 pounds. J
e had some big ones here, but they
e have been carried away; by the way
c one of them is on display in the drug
e store window that weighs 75 pounds
- It is a right good sized one."
In short, the small-sized Ashe coun
- ty pumpkin, the largest one we have
J seen this year, is now on display
jat The Democrat office. The county
| home farmer and Mis? Reeves both
' have our thanks.

Heroic Attempt to Save
Little Girl's Life Fails
Philadelphia.?A frenzied 1,200
mile race to save the life of a threeyear-old
child ended in failure Sunday.
Marjorie Cohen, Orlando, Fla.,
died in Jefferson Hospital Sunday
night after her father had brought |
her here by train, automobile and airplane.
Late Saturday Marjorie swallowed
a kidney bean. It lodged in her
bronchial tube. By almost imperceptible
degrees the baby began lo choke
to death.
The family doctor could do nothing.
Hysterically, the father, J. B.
Cohen, pled with him. There Was one
hope, the doctor said. It was the
bronchoscope, developed by Dr. Chevalier
Jackson, Philadelphia.
Cohen carried his gasping baby to
the railroad station. All Saturday
night they rode. Minute by minute |
it was becoming harder for Marjorie j
to breathe. White-faced, tense, Co-|
hen worked over her. The train
couldn't move fast, enough. Theyl
passed Atlanta, through the Caro-I
lina's and into Virginia.
At Richmond a doctor went aboard
the train.
"She has ?aLout an hour to live," j
he said.
Cohen wouldn't give up.
He sent two telegrams.
In Washington Pilot V. J. Lucas
warmed up his plane, a motorcycle
policeman and an automobile waited
at the station. The train arrived. Si- |
rens shrieking, the cavalcade raced
through Washington to the airport.
Lucas glanced once at the baby,!
now all But unconscious. He gave his
big ship every bit of speed she had.
He arrived at Camden, N. J., airport
in G2 minutes, almost a record. To
save seconds, he negotiated a dangerous
landing with the wind.
The operation was entirely successful.
With the magical bronchoscope,
doctors removed the bean. But the
strain of breathing during her long
trip had been too much for Baby
Marjorie. One king had collapsed,
and she died a short lime after the
bean wa3 removed.
