Aim Tahquett Wins Suit For Indian Store ???The case in which the United Slates Department of Indian Af- j fairs attempted to bar Amy Tahquette from operating a store - on the Indian Lands at Che-ro- j kee. was lost by the government< when a jury in the United States District Court at Asheville, re- j turned a verdict in favor of the Tahquettes within five minutes after the case was given ot it. I C. F. MeAJhaney sold the store to Amy Tahquette after he had j been barred from the Indian lands. The authorities took the position that the sale was not a transaction in good faith and that McAlhaney was in fact the , owe: j! the business, and that, I in a.iy event Amy Tahquette is no: a full blooded Indian, and iJi ere fore is ineligible to operate a business at Cherokee. The jury answered both questions in favor of the defendant. The Tahquettes are well known to the people of this part of the State, and the father of Amy was Chief of the Eastern Band <>:' Cherokees for several years. Thfv are Jackson County Indians; residing on Soco. POl'LTKYMEN ON FRONT LINE SAYS SYLVA TEACHER I By J. F CORBIN Poultrymen are on the front i iine as well as all farmers in pro- | ducin? [cod for our fighting toys. A timely job that must be ! done ri?ht now if we are to get: f- nKi.st for the least ex- j l(,nse is culling the flock of last year's hens. Cullins? Factors: Is the comb The poorest layers stop lay:n" in the latter part of the summer, and the best hens lay ri"hr- on up to cold weather. TJl;s fact makes it easy to cull nou' and hard to cull any other jimp year, when a hen stops I - ?, -P I I I)111U U1 ICS U^, ^nie.s1 cold to touch, becomes *hite and peels off. Are the hens moltino?

The poorer the hen the Jarljer she molts. The average arm hen only lays about 75 eggs year and these in the spring ? year when eggs are cheap. 1 takes that many to pay for ?" feed. The following table .

The idea of a Children's Carnival for the USO was conceived and carried through to such a successful finish by children under 13 years of age. They did not ask for help from the grown people, but on Saturday morning, Felix Picklesimer representing the Sylva Fire Department, brought them a victrola and loud speaker, thus provided the music. The Town of Sylva offered the lights used for decorating the town at Christmas time, and the Dillsboro and Sylva Electric Light Company installed the lights. The fire department brought chairs and tables from the community house, thus providing for seats and game tables. The taxi stand gave the children the use of a telephone, so that they did not have to leave the carnival for needed supplies. The business firms of Sylva, with almost no exceDtion. eave i generously of articles for prizes. ! The grand prize was a picture ( of President Roosevelt, and the consolation, a big handosme cake. The children who put on this carnival were, Margaret Ann Ryan, Dorothy Hennessee, Virginia Madison, Thelma Poteet (assisted by Jean and Joan Barrett, Jenine Bryson, Barbara Bumgarner, and Elizabeth Ann Dil- I lard) Francis Buchanan, Jack Hennessee, Dan Allison, Walter Allison Jones, Joe Ryan, Jimmy Madison, assisted by Lee Lawrence. Of the $80 proceeds of the carnival, $10 was for the sale of war stamps. Children Say Thank You The children who put on the carnival want to thank every person and every business fiipi who helped them in their efforts for the USO. They especially thank Mr. Dan Allison for the use of his used car lot and for the numerous tools for reparing the place, Mr. Felix Picklesimer and the fire department for such generous assistance and hard work, and Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Ryan, who supervised the ganfes, and the Dillsboro and Sylva Electric Light Company lor the lights. LEGION TO MEET AT COURT HOUSE AUG. 28 - ? 3 -C Edward Bryson, commander 01 William E. Dillard Post, American Legion, announces that there will be a matter of great interest and importance to be discussed at the regular meeting of the Legion, at the court house Friday evening, August 28, at 8:30, and Mr. Bryson is asking that every former service man in the county who possibly can attend the meeting to do so. This invitation is extended to and urged upon all former service men, regardless of whether they are members of the Legion or I not. - - ? * t 1t;? Molts iMovemuer ?, 1U1SU AUV eggs. After November 1, laid 195. The hen which stops laying before September 1, usually does not go back to laying before spring, but eats all winter just the same as if she was producing. When a hen stops laying the yellow color returns to her body, since it is not going into the yeli low of the egg. The yellow returns in the following order: vent, eye ring, ear lobe, beak and shanks. The skin also becomes tight and hard. The best way is to pick the hens off the roost at night and with a flashlight look for the above facts and remove from the flock. achsoi P-fLVA, NOR' A Week Of The War Lt. General Henry H. Arnold, Chief of the Army Air Forces, said American airplanes generally are superior to those of the enemy. He said that in the Pacific Theatre since the war started 1,110 army planes have battled with 1,459 Japanese aircraft and have shot down 190 with loss of only 104. These figures do not include planes destroyed on the ground, those shot down by anti-aircraft fire, Navy and Marine action, or the work of the American Volunteer Forces in China. Gen. Arnold said the goal of a 2,000,000-Man Air Force with 185,000 fighting planes would be met. He said the recruitment and training of pilots bombardiers, and navigators is progressing perfectly. There is, however, a growing demand for gunners, various enlisted technicians, radio operators and glider pilots. Gen. Arnold said American planes are arriving in Britain every day in preparation for the aerial offensive against Germany in union with the R. A. F. Lt. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Commander of U. S. Army forces in the European theatre, said in London that training of U. S. units there must be intensive in all its phases. "This is true," he said, "first, because the time is short; second, because the problems we have demand the ultimate in trained personnel; and, third, because our men must be toughened and hardened physically to stand the most rigorous operations." In the first offensive action by United Nations forces in the I Southwest Pacific, U. S. Marines effected landings and then consolidated their positions in the .Tulagi Area of the Solomon Islands. At the same time, U. S. Army and allied shore based aircraft from Australia continuously attacked "Japanese Air Bases and ship concentrations in enemy -held harbors," in support of the invasion. Commander in j Chief of the U. S. Fleet King reported early in the battle that the U. S. appeared to have had^ at least one cruiser sunk, and two cruisers, two destroyers and one transport damaged, while a large number of enemy planes were destroyed and enemy surface units were put out of action. He said the type of operation being undertaken in the Solomons is one of the most difficult in Warfare. The Navy raised the toll of Japanese ships sunk or damaged in the Aleutians to at least 22 by adding a destroyer to those hit in the surprise attacks of August 8-9 on Kiska Harbor. U. S. Headquarters in the European I Theatre reported Army Air Force j fighters participating with the | R. A. F. In 31 sorties off the ! Coast of England in 48 hours ! ending August 13, Air Forces , heavy bombers based in India I and China continued destructive raids against the Japanese. The Navy announced the sinking of seven United Nations Merchantmen by enemy submarines, the lowest weekly number of such sinkings announced in the past 16 weeks. Rationing Sugar ration stamp number 8 will be good for five pounds of sugar in the ten-week period beginning August 23 and ending October 31, the Office of Price Administration has announced. While not changing the basic ration of one-half pound per person, per week, it will enable con sum^rs to maKe purcnase m larger units and facilitate the disposal of 5, 10, and 25 pound packages. Price Administrator Henderson and Petroleum Coordinator Ickes announced jointly that fuel oil rationing on the East Coast may be unavoidable next winter. All Eastern motorists were told by the OPA to display their gasoline ration stickers immediately, because "it is illegal for any service station attendant to sell gasoline to a vehicle unless the sticker corresponding tc the type of book is conspiciouslj displayed on the car."

State College Answers Timely Farm Questions QUESTION: How do wheat and barley compare with corn as a feed for hogs? ANSWER: Pound for pound, barley is almost as good as corn, says E. V- Vestal, Extension swine specialist, if it is ground to a medium fineness. Also ground wheat can be fed with corn, or fed as a substitute for corn. The corn shortage in many counties may require the substitution of wheat and barley. QUESTION: Where should a trench silo be located? ANSWER: The silo should be dug as close to the feeding barn as possible and preferably on a slope so as to give ground-level entrance at one end and at the same time provide drainage. In clay soils the sides and one end should be left vertical. In softer soils vertical walls will not stand unless boarded up or plastered with concrete over a wire reinforcing, so they may be sloped. The bottom should slope slightly toward the open end to provide drainage. QUESTION: Should canned foods be stored in any special way? ANSWER: A well planned stor' age space for canned foods whether in a closet, a cellar, or - an outside building, is a good in vestment of time and money i Any home can have adequate ' storage space for food with a lit tie work and initiative.

JDVANCE IN JACKSON COUNTY irolina Will se In Office ?or Credits Cullowhee ? Short intensive courses in office training with college credit will be offered at Western Carolina Teachers College with the opening of the fall quarter, September 8. In announcing these new courses, President H. T. Hunter and Dean W. E. Bird point out that the college wishes to meet ' the growing demand for shorttime preparation for business positions. President Hunter expresses the desire on the part of the college to assist in training the thousands of office workers now needed by the various gov1 ernment agencies in carrying on the war program. From the requests that have ! been submitted, the administra' tion feels that many students would like to prepare themselves 1 immediately for business positions and at the same time have , the training which they take now apply on a college degree at some future date. Since the ! majority of recent graduates in business education at Western i Carolina have secured advanced . positions in TVA, civil service, I and the armed forces, it is plan ned to put special emphasis on - the preparation for this type of 1 work. Among the short time courses ' available for students will be r typewriting, shorthand, account5 ing, business correspondence, " business machines, office pracf tice, rapid calculation, and Eng1 lish composition.
