The hed sire, Ixias Brompton Lad, goes back to the best breed ing of Jersey Island. His great sire sold at auction for $6,000.00. Mr. Dalton stated that he was anxious to have his herd fit into the breed improvement program for Stokes county. Occasionally he has a male calf which he will gladly let out to farmers of the county. Silage fed to dairy cows for winter milk production cannot fce beat, declares the Stokes farmers who trid it last winter.

C., Thursday, August 14, 1941 * ** WHEN WE ARE MUTE God made flowers to speak for those who can not express their love. Somebody has written that *flowers are frozen music. The writer might have crone further and said —bars of congealed symphony dropped from above. The floral tributes at the bier of a greatly loved Danbury woman last week were surpassingly beautiful and profuse. They came from afar and near from friends whose hearts were hurt at the untimely passing of one so useful and so needed as Mrs. Kathleen Taylor. The soft night descended on the grave and the flowers, and the dew was as of the tears cf her family and friends. SPEARS ALL TO THE GOOD To the debonnair dopester of the Madison Mes senger—thank you for our bouquet in your last issue. It was of pure orchids. Its sweet odor per meated the room. Floating out through the win - dow, it mingled with the magnolia and the mig nionettes and was enfolded to the breast of the sunflower that dreams all day long in the garden. We promise never to call you dam Yankee any more (as if we ever had). We appreciate the friendliness that inspired your words. We like you and enjoy your interesting paper. Especial ly the "Sparks." And we read with delight the rare and radiant "Wall Street" written by a col umnist who has tasted the world in all its flip pancies and follies, and found it not so bad after ill. Now a? his footsteps go dancing down thq sunset trail he lets fall anon gems of homemade philosophy and horse sense. If he would only let up on the girls. Tell him, Spears, they are a de lusion and a snare, and to get his head of them (too). Remember the sad fate of Bob Reynolds. NO, I DONT THINK YOU WOULD. If you owned a beautiful home surrounded by inviting grounds and useful conveniences, and outside some highly productive acres that would produce a living; and if at your home was a fine family who missed you when you were gone and whom you missed when you were gone—would you be so crazy as to be a traveling salesman? Well, John L. Christian of Pinnacle feels thcit way about it. He paid us a pleasant hello this week and among other things he said he had been on the road more than 40 years, off and on; that he was tired of it and thinking about emit ting. Now in our opinion that's a good idea that's come into the head of this thrifty Yadkin town ship citizen. Another thing: John Christian is is the prime of life and in the possession of all his faculties but he ain't as young as he was the first time I ever saw him when in Winston he was flirting with a good looking young woman (who after wards became Mrs. Christian.) Let's stop taking life too seriously. Few of us will get out of it alive, anyhow. WPA Bookmobile Will Arrive Sept 15th The WPA Bookmobile is ex pected in Stokes County about September 15th to give a second demonstration of a county-wide Library Service to the people. This is a free service and anyone may borrow books from it in the county. It is to be here three months and most probably six months. This will give everybody a chance to become familiar with such a service and realize it 3 value. The Bookmobile will have sched uled routes and stops, and these will be posted in advance so that the people will know where the nearet- stop will be to theem. It will make a stop in the designat ed place every two weeks during its stay here.
