Every father in Cherokee county would like to know that his children will be well-fixed for the future. It is well to think about what our children will have and how they will live ill the future. Some fathers can leave insurance behind for their children to get started on. But this is not possible with many. In the long run, the children arc1 going to have to nake their way the same as their fathers before them. The living for the future children in Cherokee County, in large part, is going to come from the farms and woods. It is right then that we should ruin the land which is to be the meat and bread of our children? The big question is: "HOW WILL OUR CHILDREN MAKE A LIVING?" As we drive down the roads of Cherokee County, we see a fire burning in the woods and think nothing of it. But look at. it this way. That fire is burning up the little trees that will be the forest of tomorrow. That fire is burning up the game that our cnuarcn win want 10 nunc, it is leaving ashes to be washed down into streams and ruin *he fishing our child will need. It is causing land to wash Wo drive on down the road and wt see a field that is no longer in cultivation. It was once good farm land, but now it is washing away. Deep gullies scar the slope from top to hot torn. At the foot of the hill we see good soil covered up with sand and clay that has washed from these gullies. The land is good fur nothing at this time except to raise a poon crop of weeds. But the farmer is still paying taxes on these acres. What difference does it ma!;e to me if the woods burn ami the land washes so long as it is not my own land? Remember that when the land washes and th? woods burn, we all lose equally. The burned woods and the washed land are the things oui children will have to use to make a living after we are gone. At the present, hundreds of persons in Cherokee County make t.heii living dinctly through work in the woods. Many more make their living <?n farms. The stores, warehouses, .shops, banks, filling stationami all businesses in the towns is possible only because people spend money they make in the woods and on the farms. Over thirty saw mills arc running in Cherokee County. This means a support for communities and a living for many. Hundreds of cords of acid wood are cut in the county each year Many people are earning a livlihood in this fashion. On the farms, the people are raising corn, tobacco, feedstuff, beef and milk stock which means a living to those people. Our children will have to carry on this work after we are gone. Dot if we leave them burned over woods and washed ficldsl how they make a living? On the other hand, if we keep fire out of the woods, mother Nature will plant and grow trees for our children. This will mean work in the woods and in the mills in the Cherokee County of tomorrow. If we keep fin. out of our fields and from around the farms, and do not graze our pastures too heavily, the farm land will not wash away so badly and will still raise crops for our children in thi future. By stopping to think, we can all see where it will pay us to take care of our woods and farms. If these places are left in good shape, then our children can make a living and he happy in the future. It will cost nothing at all to be just a little more careful with fire. The result will be t he same, as a paid-up insurance policy. It will mean jobs and money for the citizens of Cherokee County. TIMELY TOPICS "Nude women are moving past our windows", a middle-aged couple told policemen in Dallas, Tex. Three officers investigated and found the "nude women" were dummies used by a designer of women's clothes. Patrolman August Cicade of Somnierville, Mass., answering a police radio call, sped to the address given and received this request from the lady of the house: "Won't you please give my dog an airing. I'm too ill." The request was granted. Colorado police, on an antigambling crusade, toured Phillips County in a truck confiscating slot machines Unloading their haul later, they discovered among the spoils a well-filled cash register. Louis Meitus, Chicago lumberman, recently purchased a number of elephants, ponies, lions and most of the equipment from a bankrupt circus, and now stages free circuses for childrenjof the city. William Sibbitt, 86-year-old farmer, fell off his seat while cheering at a basketball game in Frankfort, Ind. He pulled himself back into place and kept on cheering until the game ended. Then he found he had a broken leg. ir, North Carolina NEWS PICK-L News?like gold?is where you l'ind it, and more often in particular where we don't find it. And news? like bootleg liquor?can always be manufactured where there ain't non?' handy. So?Type marches on. The Scout's badge of merit for the week goes to Pruden Davidson, the Murphy junior at State college, who, we were informed Tuesday morning, was elected editor of the Technician (one of the best college papers in the country) for the coming year, and also that the majority of the Delta Sigma Phi's decided to vote for him as their leader for the coming year. And if you don't think there's plenty of perseverance and need for ability behind that?you try it. Most humorous occurrence of the week goes to Col. Bayless who was standing out on the corner the other moining when a man, who doesn't live very far from town, walked up to him and said: "Where's the Dickey House at now, Mr. Bayless? The town's grown up so much since the last time I was in that I can't find any place any more." "It's r #ht down the street where it's always been," Cal. Bayless an swercd. "You ought to live in n.y old home town of Limestone, Tenn., It isn't growing quite so fast.' News picked up?along with dust storm that came over Tuesday; received two letters this morning?one from Nitro, W. Va., and the othei from Hydro, Okla. Started off the day like a firecracker . . . but soon fizzled out as usual. Recall talking to Bill Benton, now with the NYA in Griffin, Ga., who was a visitor here Sunday. He denied that he was the W. G. Benton, of Atlanta, who recently made headines all over the country when he bragged to friends that a black cat walking in front 01 you could mean no harm." The poor fella got in his car, saw a wisp o' midnight streak out in front of him, laughed up his sleeve and a minute oi two later tried to tie a four-in-hand knot, around a telephone pole with his Tin Lizzie. Then he died. "Nope, 't.'warn't me," Bill assured us ... . Naturally. Sam Coffin ran into a felow the other day he said he had known 30 years. They taked for about half an hour on various and sundry topics. Then, "Hey", said the conversationalist, "Where'd that feller, Sam Coffin, who used to run the veneer plant over here ever get to?" And with that the man started on a tirade that is said to have made Sam's neck turn lilt- color of a closed switch lantern. Bass Haigler, the painter, who can't walk under a seven-foot clothes line without getting his hat knocked off, went down with the "flu" last week. Preacher Harrison looked him over right good. "Hmm. Looks like an illness of long-standing". . . Dev eraux Birchfield, the game warden, in town looking sad. "Friend o* mine NOBODY'S Bl BY GEE McGHEE THIS PLAN WILL SETTLE THE SURPLUS QUESTION hon. henry s. wall is, seeker-terry of agger-culture, Washington, d. c. deer sir: plese check over all the bills that our southern senators are pouring into the mills of congress befoar they are voted, on, and don't let them kivver the big farmer only, but look out for us little boys. if they don't intend to give us back the cotton we growed last yeai so's we can spend this year setting in a rocking chair, it do not look like we will get annywlieres with reduction ansoforth. a farmer is a peculiar animal, each one of them thinks that the other is a fool, and they are both somelimes right, farmer brown has a idea that farmer jones is raillv iroinc to reduce according to the govver ment, so he his-seff then begins to try to decrease,. just as soon as uncle sam says you all must reduce from 30 acres to 15 akers for cotton, the farmers begin to plan hpw to make as ir.uch or more Turning Back ] FROM THE SCOUT FILES < A. D. Kilpatrick, 69 years old, died Monday afternoon at his home in Ranger after an illness of little more than a week. Roy Millikan, District Governor of North Carolina Lions, will be the guest speaker for April 25th meeting, f according to an announcement by Lion President W. M. Fain. R. F. Williamson and Dr. Edw. E. Adams defeated Rev. J. L. Steel and Homer Ricks in a game of match play on the Konnaheeta Golf Course Wednesday afternoon by 12 points. The local course is becoming very popular. Mrs. J. H. McCall, wife of attorney McCall, has the honor of being the first woman in the county, and perhaps the state, to perform the wedding ceremony. On Saturday, April IPS ?By SAM CARRI brought me a L?ke full of ramps the I other day. 1 ate a big mess, and ?, I wife and four dogs left home". Xo I wife, no crops next fall, Dcvereaia I Better send the ramps?whatever I they are?back. . . "War, War, War," that's all I read about", said one fellow in the drug store the other morning. "That's I notill, new to us in en. A formal I declaration only lets the women knew I about it".

ONE usually has to wade through I a let of red tape to collect anything I out of the government. And so it is, I too, with other customers at times. An artist was employed to renovate I and retouch the great oil paintings in I an old church in Belgium, and rtn- I dered a bill for $67.50 for his ser- I vices. The church wardens, however, I required an itemized bill and the fol- I lowing was duly presented, audited I and paid: For correcting the Ten Commandments $5.12 I For renewing Heaven and [ brightening the stars 7.14 I For touching up Purgatory and restoring Lost Souls 3.06 I For brightening up the flames | of Hell, putting a new tail on * tho devil and doing odd jobs [ for the dammed 7.17 I For putting a new stone in [ David's sling and enlarging tho head of Goliath . 6.13 fl For mending the shirt of the j_ Prodieal Son and cleaning | his ear 3.39 fl For embellishing Pontius Pilate and putting a new ribbon on j his bonnet ... 3.01 I For putting a new tail and comb on St. Peter's yfl rooster 2.20 flLj For replumping and regilding .. | the left wing of the guardian H angel 5.19 ? ror washing the servant ot the High Priest and putting carmine on his cheeks .. 5.02 For taking the spots off the son of Tobias 10.20 For putting earrings in Sarah's ears 5.54 For decorating Noah's Ark and new head on Sheni 4.33 Totnl $67.50 JSINESS cotton on 15 akers than they did on 30 akers, thanks to guanno and fad cultivating ansoforth. you can regulate his akers, but you can't regulate the farmer hisseff. but .you plese keep yore ear to the good earth, we really and truly don't need another crop of cotton or corn or wheat, but as we hope noboddy wont grow none but us, mought get big prices for our productions. i3 looks like a nice thing to do is to give the furriner his cotton for nothing and make the homefolb pay a 6 cent bounty for what they use. this is in line with our polliey, that is?-being good to the furrincrs won a nice war for them, and then turned right around and paid for tie whole war,*our part and their padto make a long story shorter, don't we ship them all of our sur- n plus cotton right now to be paid f^B along with the jvar debts? that would put everything behind, sur- Bj plusses and detts and all ansoforth. fig yores trulie, IS mike lark, rfd, B social security no. 234,<.)*S7,41t B History's Pages I IF TEN YEARS AGO ? 13, Wade Grant and Miss Mary Wl lor were united in .the Holy Bond* W Mrs. McCall at her home.
