C Oct. 31, 1927. Mr. S. A. Harris,' Editor The Press, Franklin, N. C. Dear Mr; ' Harris : You. arc prob ably, familiar with the articles by Bascbm, Lamar Lunsford, "Soogs and Stories of the Appalachians," that have been appearing in The Ashe ville Times for more than a year. - - In his article .. appearing in : last Sunday's Times, section A page five, mention is made of the Indian mound near the depot. Many people from different sections of the country have asked about the mound, and I am of the opinion that visitors to Franklin take much more note of this historic site than our people in Franklin would think. In fact I have often thought that our people there have not placed the value on. our mounds and historic sites that they 'should. ; . The people of Franklin and Macon county have in this mound an his torical object that any community could justlv be proud of, and to have it placed within the corporate limits of the town where every visitor is almost sure to rest his eyes upon it if he passes that way, is something more that should be appreciated. Am hopin gto be in Franklin soon, and will try to see you. Hope that you can keep things stirred up and keep people interested in the real and . worthwhile things, rather than "real estate and . get-rich-quick shemes," that have keen so blasting to the State of Florida and some sec tions of Western "North Carolina. Very truly, . r ' W. J. MORGAN. DEATH OF MRS. HELEN M. ALLEN Mrs: Helen M. Allen passed away Wednesday afternoon at five o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs 1. 1.

Waynes- ville Mountaineer. Clear Creek Locals The parents and the Clear Creek school wish to thank the Juniors for the nice flag and Bible which were presented to the Clear Creek school Sunday, October 30, and ' also for the friends and visitors who helped with the picnic dinner that was given in honor of the Juniors. Prof. T. G. Harbison made an in teresting talk on the Bible and ex plained a few interesting facts on the presenting of the flag and Bible. After the Junior exercises and lunch we had services by Rev. Clarence Williams, pastor of the Methodist church. AH that were present expressed z sice time. "The Winning of Barbara Worth," Samuel doklwyu's presentation of the Henry King production of Harold Bell Wright's best selling novel, with Ron ald Colman and Viima Banky, 'comes to the Idle Hour theatre as the fea ture photoplay next week. The dramatic ( romance which fea tures Ronald Colman and the lovely Yilma Banky, reunited on the screen after a year's separation in other films, is a glowing tale of those pioneers who battled with the menace of water, first in its total absence. It is at once the story of vast lands reclaimed and the reclamation of a man's . soul. "The Winning of Barbara Worth" presents the most unique eternal tri angle of any of the more important films, with Willard Holmes, eastern engineer, coming to love Barbara just as Abe Lcc, desert-bred westerner, docs ; and poor Barbara docs not know her own mind,, loving both. Gary Cooper, one of the year's "finds," plays Abe Lee to Ronald Colman's Holmes. And Miss Banky is Bar bara Worth, daughte rof the Jeffer son Worth who knew the. west should be reclaimed, ' The' ten million readers of Mr. Wright's best seller will find' all tbt ei'ilirnt fpninrr of the dramatic-narra tive preserved.

"Service for Ladies" Takes Place in Alps Cm,,,- OTn,K w-liifh for sheer beau tv have rarely, if. ever, been equalled c'n the screen, are said to be a domi nar.f feature of Adolphe Menjou's latest Paramount: comedy-drama "Ser vice for Ladies" which comes to the Idle Hour theatre , next Wednesday and Thursday. - , Winter sports in the Swiss Alps afford the background for an intense ly human story of the romance of a head waiter and his love for an American heiress. Of course, the fact that he is a head waiter, even though such a position carries much more dignity in Europe than it docs over here, complicates the' love affair and therein lies the Story. 4 Those who have seen "Service for Ladies" in its previews, label it the best thing Menjou has done in his career. They say that there is a genuineness, a sympathy' and a nat uralness to his enactment as the head waiter that grips one from the very start. It is real. It is true. '. A particularly well balanced cast headed by Kathryn Carver, Lawrence Grant and Charles Lane, support the star. Harry D'Abbadic D'Arrast handled the megaphone. All in all "Service for Ladies" would seem to be the sort of picture one shouldn't miss. Cow Ration More dairy cows in North Carolina fail to return a profit because of poor feeding than because of poor breed- '"Thcre are many poor individual cows within the state, but these can be easily located by herd-records and replaced;, however, no method has yet been devised by which profitable production can be secured without good feeding regardless of the in dividuality. ..'. ' Our most successful dairy, farmers nre those who grow all of their rough age and part of the concentrates needed for their herds. The following is the. amount, of fr-pfl needed annually for each cow or cow unit.. Two yearlings are equivalent to one cow unit. IS bushels of corn 10 bushels of oats (or) 6 bushels of barle y 11-2 tons of legume hay ' 3 tons of silage or roots. If silage or roots are not available, two tons of legume hay should be provided per cow.
