Mrs. 'MlcLean was assisted in serving delicious 'and dainty refreshment by her daughters, Misses Lace and Evelyn McLean. Mrs. R. R. IRam sey Invited the club to meet with A. Tangible Fires: 1. Depletion of soil by burning the humus, or decaying vegetable matter. This humus is vital to plant life because it furnishes the pr teins, carbohydrates and fats mak ing up plant food Burning destroys the above compounds and leaves an unbalanced amount of minerals slnd salts not conducive to normal plant growth. Also the small life. bth nlant and animal, which thrive in the humus layer are destroy d. The sponge-like consistency of the soil is lost and run-off of preci pitation greatly accelerated. 2. Forest fires always do more or less damage to living trees. The smaller trees are often killed out right and the smaller they are the greater the ratio -jf the kill. If f:res burn over a given area periodically 'and the small trees are killed each time, the day will come when the area will be denuded The older trees are damaged too, but to a lesser extent. Damages may show up many years later in tne torm ot rotten and hollow butt which greatly reduce the growth yield and quality - of lumber cuts from such burned over area. for tht Ministers of the New Found As sociation Fifth Sunday 'Meeting at Antioch, Marshall, N.

Football At Mars Hill Mars Hill, Nov. 16 (Special) The Mars Hill high eleven kept their tsiue Ridge conference record clean last Thursday afternoon when they defeated the Waynesville outfit, 2-0, before a good turnout. The game was played on the high school field, made slippery by recent heavy rains. The two teams battled most -jf the game on even terms, with the Waynj.'sville Mountaineers offering several scoring threats only to be stopped by the light and aggressive Wildcats within the shadow of the goalposts.

If we would have wild life with us, we must keen firps ot of forests Birds, fish and game animals cannot exist in periodical ly burned woods. If the adults es cape, the young are caught and burned. Not only are the animals destroyed, but in addition their food supply is consumed by fire. Fish, especially trout, cannot thrive in unshaded streams. Hunting is n0 good in burned woods. If the game has not- heon killed or driven out, it cannot be tracked because dogs can't track on freshly burned over area. If we are to have huntino- nnd fishing, forest fires must be out lawed. 5.

WHITE ROCK HIGH SCHOOL White Rock High School is the first to go over the top in 100' enrollment for the American Red Cross. Mrs. C. M. Blankenship has just made this report for White Rock. Congratula tions are in order for this prompt action .and we hope every other High School in the coun ty will follow White Rock in a 100" enrollment. Also we would like to see every business con cern m our county make their membership 100'7 as well as a large part of all the citizens. Remember a membership in this movement is a contribution to the Organization who is first to the rescue of Flood. Hurricane and Storm stricken areas ANYWHERE in our land. A Most Noble and Worthy Organization. Please enroll any time up to Thanksgiving, after which report must go to General Head quarters. Any one wishing to secure membership may see either of the High School Principals of the county who will be glad to accept your dollar and give you membership card (The High School Principals will not solicit membership outside their schools). At the School Masters club meeting last week, those present very graciously volunteered their services to assist in this movement, but their duties are many in conducting their schools, and we did not feel disposed to ask them to give time other than a mong their faculties and students.

The story is told of a shepherd boy of Palestine who found a sol dier's rifle while minding his flock in the hills. After consideration he decided he did not want to kill anything or shoot anybody so he made this old riflle into a flute, by sawing off the barrel and making holes at intervals Gangsters or bank robbers -f the present day are cowardly in motive. They will shoot an inno cent unprotected person who has plenty of courage and backbone down without a chance tj defend himself. No one likes to be called yellow, but a person who takes an unfair auvamage 01 another person is hardly very brave. It is natural to be different. Tjo often one is inclined to alwavs think the other fellow is wrong. There are two sides to every argum nt and often people settle' these differ ences unmanly. Two wrongs nev er m'ake a right. Life is a give-and-take game. Selfishness makes us want t3 give and take at the othr fell-ow's expense. The old policy of trying to get even at any ex pense is very prevalent todav. Some think there is no such thing as a fair fight. In our ang:r the animal instinct to kill is ever pres ent. Do not losf vour reasoning pciwer and self-cjmtrol. There is i manly way t settle all 1h'n"x. No war has ever settled anything. Little differences will be straighten ed out if the Golden Rule is ap plied.

REPUBLIC VERSUS DEMOCRACY The Constitution of the United States cpeated this n'ation a republ:c not a democracy. There is a difference between a republic and a democracy. In one respect the two forms are identical: In both, the supreme power is re tained by the people. But in a democracy the people may either exercise their oower direfctly by determining their governmental questions themselves, or they may exercise their -ower indirectly through their chosen representatives. However, in a republic the peo'ple do not exercise their power directly; instead, they deleg'ate it to their periodically elected representatives, who act for them. The United States is now operat ed, not as a republic as provided for in the Constitution, but as a democracy; for in some instances the people: exercise their power directly as. when thev voted to adopt and later to repeal national prohibition,, . -By A READER.
