THE BOONE TRAIL HIGHWAY (Salisbury Post) Josephus Daniels, writing his paper from Boone, says that the Boone Trail highway is now complete and that you can ride from Boone to Winston-Salem in five hours in a fliv ver. Dr. Daniels also rode over the road being built into Blowing Rock, there to connect with the highway to Lenoir. When the whole project is put through one can leave Salisbury, go by way of Statesville. "and Wilkes boro and to Boone, then to Blowing Rock, to Lenoir, then to Hickory, there strike the Central highway and run into Salisbury. It will be a cir cuit of great interest and every foot of the highway will be of intense value to the State, and the large ter ritory touched. The day does not seem far off when the beautiful mountain section of our wonderful State will be made accessible. The well built highways in which North Carolina leads will enable all sections of the State to travel to the beautiful mountain lands, and to the rich coastal plains in comfort and with ease. These highways will also furnish delightful automooue tours lor thousands from outside the State, and with the com pletion of the Present ambitions clan the State ought to begin a well de nned advertising campaign to impress this great resort section on the tour ists. There will he no fairer land on earth, not only most 'beautiful, but imade easy to view by reason of the nne highways. If the State will properly advertise what it has to offer by way of sightseeing, vacation pos sibilities, the tourists of other States will pay a larsre share of the treat A.f A Klli14imtf lUna.

Something like $25,000 a year for fan would go a long ways towards turn ing the tide of tourists into the un surpassed scenic sections of the State.

On that date, according to Prof. Edwin B. Frost, of the University of Chi cago and director of the Yerkes ob servatory, a total solar eclipse will occur over that region. The moon, coming between the earth and the sun, will cast a shadow which will sweep over the southern sea from a point off the eastern coast of Africa near the equator, cross a few scat tered islands and the continent of Australia and, then out to the south ern Pacific ocean, he said. The dura tion of totality ' at different points will' vary from three to six minutes, and Prof. Frost declared this to be an unusually long eclipse. Expeditions from various astro nomical institutions will be estab lished at favorable points to study the eclipse. "The total eclipse of the sun al ways has been one of nature's most thrilling spectacles," said Prof. Frost "It. gives a momentary glimpse of the mysterious veil surrounding the sun, called the corona, which is never visible at any other time. Gieantic rosy eruptions of flowing gas also may be seen along the rim of the eclipsed sun." On Sept 19, 1923. he said, a to tal solar eclipse will touch the coast of the United States at Santa Bar bara and near San Diego, Cal. After the one of 1923 the next total solar eclipse that can be observed under favorable conditions in the United States will be on Aug. 23, 2017. EDUCATION PAYS Does it pay to go to school? We mean from a monetary standponit Most emphatically, it does. If'vou ever hear of a boy or girl who wants to quit school, when it is necessary; if you ever hear of parents who are thinking of putting their children to work when it is,, unnecessary, just bring these figures to their attention; Every day spent in school navs the child $9. Here is the proof, based on the wage scale of 113: Uneducated laborers earn on the average of $500 per year for forty years, a total of $20,000. High school graduates earn on the average $1,000 per year for forty years, a total of $40,000. This education requires 12 years of school of 180 days each, a total of 2,160 days in the school. If 2,160 days at school add $20. 000 to the income for life, then each day at school adds $9.25. The child that stays out of school to earn less than $9 -a day is losing money not making money. mi - . . inese ngures are Dasea on an in vestigation made by Dr. A.
