Japanese Fleet May Join Fight Pearl Harbor, Jan. 9?Japan may risk her remaining first line war ships in another sea action with the Pacfic fleet, flow that Gen. Mac Arthur's invasion of Luzon has open ed the Pacific war's most critical campaign. Luzon is more vital to Japan's de fense of her empire than was Guad alcanal, Saipan or Leyte. Every tnne American amphibious forces have assaulted objectives of key importance to Japan, her fleet has joined in major sea action?the second battle of the Philippines aft er the Leyte landing; first battle of the Philippinee seas after the Sai pan landing in the Marianas; the Solomons surface battles after the Guadalcanal landing. It is not logical to expect that Japanese navy commanders will lie around in empire ports while Mac Arthur's troops are taking Lou zon from Japan's grasp, cutting in two hex greater co yosptwty sphere.

J. M. Shull of Valle Crucis, was a caller at this office and told us that he is thinking seriously of going west. R. M. Greene is building an a] to his store house, which will ?1 double his floor and shelf room when completed. At 5:15 yesterday evening, after our forms were closed, the grim monster Death came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard M. Greene and bore away the spirit of little Bonner, the idol of the happy home. The fond parents are almost pros trated with grief and they have the most profound sympathy of all their friends in this, their darkest hour. Rev. John Dotson of Zionville, has received the sad intelligence that his son, Wheeler, had been shot and killed in Cincinnati. Ohio, on New Year's Day. D. S. Lec of Wilkes county, has moved his family to the Taylor farm one mile east of Boone. We are told that he will teach some singing classes. % Mrs. Mary Cook, wife of Mr. Adam Cook, died at her home at Deerfield on Monday night after a long illness. Mrs. Cook was a daughter of the late Jackson Hodges, and we are told that she was an ex cellent woman. Dr. J. W. Jones has purchased the Judge Councill lots opposite the Cof fey Hotel, and we are told that he will do some building thereon in the near future. We are glad the Doctor got this desirable property, as we ItS'n now count on him as a perma nent fixture in our midst. Two cold, clear, sparking springs are now emptying themselves through pipes at the school plant, and the arrangements are that the whole village around the buildings, by the use of standpines, can be supplied with as good water as flows from the mountains. Capt. Lovill is highly pleased with this great con venience, which is the latest he has supplied to the institution. On Wednesday of last week, the little two-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Dixon Moretz of Meat Camp, was scalded to death in a most hor rible manner. The little child was left alone for a minute or two in a room where a large pot of boiling water was on the hearth. The moth er heard its screams and ran to its rescue to find that it had fallen into the water and much of the flesh on the tender little body was literally cooked, and death came to relieve the little sufferer a few hours later. The heart-broken parents have the deepest sympathy of all. Local Service Officer Explains Provisions of New Pension Law In order to clarify provisions of the new pension law passed by Congress last month, Lionel Ward, service officer for the local Ameri can Legion Post, cites eligibility re quirements of the legislation. The law. whch affects many peo ple in this area, allows payment to Widows and minor children of vet erans of World War I, whether 01 not the veteran had a service-con nected disability at time of death. He must have had at least 90 days of active service in that war and been discharged under honor able conditions or, if in service less than that time, must have been dis charged or released from active duty because of disability received in the line of duty. In order to receive benefits, a childless widow must give evidence of an income of less than $1,000 per year. A widow with-jojjjor chil dren may not have an income above $2,500. The definition "widow of World War I veteran" denotes only a wom an who was married to the veteran before the act, who can prove that she lived continuously with the vet eran from the date' of marriage to the time of death, unless separation was without fault on her part. She may not have remarried since the death of the person in service: An eligible minor is a legitimate child, a legally adopted child, a. step-child of a member of the vet eran's household or an illegitimate child, whose paternity the vete^ap acknowledges in writing or whose paternity is judicially decreed. The child may not be married and must be under 18 years, unless it was made permanently incapable of self-support prior to reaching that age or unless it is pursuing an approved course of instruction, ia which instance penson will Be con tinued until completion at educa tion or training, although ftot after he becomes 21 years. Widow must establish her rela tionship to the veteran by presen tation of a certified copy of the marriage record and the relationship of the children by certified copies of birth records. Pension for the widow with no minors is $35. To a widow with one child, $45 is allowed and $5 is paid for each additional child, no total pension being allowed to exceed $74 for one family. Application forms for pension claims are available at the Park way Company, Mr. Ward said, and he will assist with making informal application for reopening claims in those cases where application was previously filed, but pension denied. Farmers carried out more soil building and erosion-control prac tices under AAA last year than ever before. NEWS AND VIEWS OF THE FARMERS By H. M. HAMILTON, Jr. County Farm Agent. I have another carload of western corn ordered for the latter part of January. This com will be shipped to North Wilkes boro and any farm er who wants some of the corn should place his order at our officc at once.

Presidential citation ribbon, and a number of bronze stars are worn on his Europen-African campaign rib bon, for major engagements in which he has participated. The following concerning Sgt. Critcher's unit is taken from "Stars and Stripes": A Medium Bomber Base in Cor sica, Dec. 20?Since beginning com bat operations from its present base here, the 310th B-25 Mitchell j Bombardment Group has set the bombing efficiency record for all medium groups in the Mediter ranean theatre with a three month average of 85 percent, 12th Air Force headquarters announced to day. In addition to its efficiency rec ord, which refers to the percentage of bombs carried by the Mitchells to the target and actually released over the target area, the 310th also holds claim to the largest tonnage of bombs dropped on enemy soil since it joined the B-29 bombard ment headquarters. _ Under the command of Col. Peter H. Remington of Cape Vincent, N. Y., the 310th has completed 27 months of overseas service and is the oldest continually operating medium group in the Mediterranean area.

Mo?s OF THE moment BY UNCLE BOB of the Kraft Dairy Farm Service It's pretty hard concentrating on a job of mowing just after you've stirred up a nest of bumblebees. Likewise, a cow has a hard time con-" cent rating on her job of producing milk while pestered by heel flies. Heel flies bother cows in the sum mer, but you can do a big part of the job of controlling them now. In the summer, flies lay eggs on the cow's hair. These hatch into maggots which form grubs under the skin. The grubs hatch into flies in the spring. Whether you know the heel fly by that name or some other, and whether you call them gruba, warbles, "wolves" or what, they are the same pest. By destroying grubs in January or February, you cut down the fly population next year. Treatment generally recommended is to apply to the backs of cattle with a stiff brush, a wash consisting of 12 ounces of derris powder and two ounces of soap flakes in a gallon of water. Hand dusting is another sim ple way to do the job. Use a tin can with ten to 15 holes punched in the bottom. Thoroughly mix a pound of ground rotenone bearing root with a pound of wettable sulphur. Sprinkle the mix over the animal's back and rub it in gently with your hand. The Extension Service, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho, covers this subject in War Circular No. 5. Farmers' Bulletin No. 1596 from the USDA, Washington, D. C., also discusses it in detail. Alfalfa wins all roughage popular ity contests hands down and I hope you are planning on an ample supply. An acre per cow is a pretty good way to figure. Alfalfa is highest in protein and grows well in nearly every region. If you use clover, timothy, les pedeza or some other hay crop, you'll have to plant a greater acreage than If you use alfalfa. Illinois figure* M* lbs. of diges tible protein per acre of alfalfa. 18A per acre of lespedeza and 240 per acre of red clover, so you see how much more actual food there is In alfalfa. Circular 502 from the Extension Service, University of Illinois. Urbana, 111., has a table showing the feed value of hay crops per acre, and I suggest you write for a copy.* The very first point of the 1945 Eight Point dairy program is "Grow an abundance of high quality roughage." Roughage is just about the most important fcart of a cow's diet and the higher the quality, the less cost to the owner. With high quality roughage, less grain supplement i^ needed. This la quitea few *ecki ahead of plowing tins, but there la no better time to my mind to get down to definite plane on your roughage program. First of all you need to Figure how mach roughage you 11 want?how many tons of silage ?nd hay. That is determined by the nuihber and breed of cows in your herd. Dairy experts say that cows should have between 20 and 35 pounds of silage daily plus 10 to 15 pounds of good hay. Right here in the middle of winter is the best time I know of. also, to take a look at last year's pasture and figure out how to make it a better pasture in 1945. A friend of mine down Miss issippi way says a pasture 1s a place where a cow can fill her stomach In an hour or two and can spend the next few hours taking s n?|i. When she does this, she's working for you. If she has to eat all day long just to keep alive, she Is not on a real pasture. What most permanent pastures need is a proper mixture of different grasses, plus lime and fertilizer. You can do yourself, your cows and the national milk program a lot of good by deciding now on the right mix ture, ordering seed and getting set to grow the kind of pasture which will bring you greatest return. Youll find exactly the type of mix ture suitable to your land recom mended in Publication 217, issued by the Extension Service. University of Tennessee. Knoxville. Tenn.* For certain sections, it suggests, per acre., 5 lbs, of orchard grass, 2 lb*, red top. 5 lbs. Dallis grass, 2 lbs. white dovtr and 3 lbs. lespedeza. It has mixtures proved in each port of the state.
