Canp, superintend ent of credit unions. Since March, 1916, the credit unions have Jumped in number from 6 to 14, with an increase in membership from 201 to 505. The depositors increased in number from 29 to 146; payments on shares, from $1,132.25 to $4,327.53; deposits, from $959.76 to $3,763.40; cash in banks, from $1,299.78 to $2, 666.15; amounts borrowed from banks from $100 to $1,450; and total re sources, from $2,264.89 to $11,448.31.

Each of the thirty one borrowers of the Carmel credit nion borrowed $153.55, on an aver age, and saved $37.82, the amount less which each borrower would have had to pay had he bought on time. Interested In Silo Construction. Twenty-five requests for help in building silos, even- in face of high prices for corn seems to mean that the farmers of the state are beginning to get interested in the question of silos as a means of cheap food for dairy and beef cattle during the win ter. This number of requests were on hand in the office of beef cattle and sheep work immediately after it was made public that Mr. E. C. Turner, a graduate of the college, would spend his time this summer aiding the two beef cattle field men in building silos. Mr. Turner is now at work in Le noir county, in the vicinity of Kin- I ston, with County Agent McCrary. After that, he has a busy three months ahead, on account of the numerous In quiries In regard to the work. Mr. A. S. Cline, who will do the same work for the office of dairy farming, is now In Ashe county, constructing silos Companies Allotted Other Cities. Rocky Mount hating failed to ma terialize the battery of artillery that was allotted by the department of the adjutant general of the North Caro lina national guard, there, an order was made authorizing B. F. Williams at Lenoir to proceed with the forma tion of this battery authorized by the department there.

TEXTILE MEN ADJOURNED Hold Eleventh Annual Convention at Wr'ghtsville Beach. Officers Are j Elected. j Wilmington.

The road between Asheville and , Black Mountain is in bad shape. The floods of last year wiped out a portion j of the road, and in places there is j only a trail through the fields. The j county commissioners have promised to give Black Mountain a concrete j road to Asheville, but so far have i made no effort to start work on the road. The latest plan of the Black Moun tain people includes the taking of the eastern part of Buncombe county, with all of Black Mountain township, whloh is unusually rich, and with a strip from McDowell county and an other small strip from Rutherford county, forming a new county. Some of the leading citizens of the neighboring towns are behind the movement and expect to meet with success. Like Ten Days in Trenches. Black Mountain. "Nothing short of ten days in the trenches will equal in interest and sustained excitement the past ten days, the biggest of my life," said J. W. Berthold, student secretary of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion for the Carolinas, in speaking of his stay at Blue Ridge, as one of three hundred delegates from ninety colleges attending the twenty-fourth Southern Student Conference which closed there recently.

We have our nuts freshest and cheapest in the full, but the peanut i like the Door "al- ways with us," and Y J Attn uavAuu Ma the plebeian ground " flj nut iui umuv UOOU dishes. Any nuts that are purchased shelled should be carefully washed and dried before using, even when they have been han dled under sanitary conditions as fur as known ; this is essential. Those who are fortunate enough to have a hickory grove or even one or two trees to supply them with this de licious nut, no other need be desired. The black walnut too is another good flavored nut and grows in various parts of the country. Where one lives near a brook where watercress grows, a most refreshing and satisfying salad may be made, us ing watercress sprinkled with nuts of any kind, a little shredded onion and a French dressing. Any plain ice cream is made more appetizing by a snoonful of fresh chopped nuts; a few nuts added to almost any cake filling improve it. . ! They may be made into a loaf, being ' a good substitute for meat or served with fruit and gelatin, make a very pretty dessert. Pecan Breakfast Muffins. Take a cupful and a half of flour sifted with a teaspoonful of baking powder, add an egg, a half teaspoonful of salt, and a cupful of milk. Beat well for five minutes; add two cupfuls of roiled pe can meats and bake in a hot oven in gem pans. Other nuts may be substi tuted, but these are especially good. Gingerbread is made quite elegant by sprinkling a half-cupful of chopped nuts over the top Just as It goes into the oven. Nuts and Cottage Cheese Salad. Mix a half-cupful of chopped nuts of any kind, peanuts are good; add a lit tle onion Juice and cream to unsea- I soned Dutch cheese ; season well with salt and paprika and mold in bans. Serve three rolled in chopped nuts In a nest of lettuce, passing a boiled dressing to serve with it. Nut Wafers. Beat two eggs and add a cupful of brown suger and a half cupful of nutmeats chopped fine and two tablespoonfuls of flour. Drop by teaspoonfuls on buttered tins and bake in a slow oven until brown. Nuts browned in a little butter and ! ...,,! ...l.V, AV 1 J paprika with some salt, are a most l dainty relish to serve at any meal, Salad.-Scoop out ; tomatoes as J 1 cover with a mayonnaise dressing, mayonnaise i ' a ball of cheese on each and serve on crisp kttuce leaves. Laugh! 'Tis yours as well as mine To know this bliss of bliss beyond compare. Then laugh! Toss up your head. And put the silver twinkle In your eye, , And laugh and laugh! 'TIs time well sped. And all will catch your glee In pass ing by. DAINTY SUMMER DESSERTS. Remove the center from a round of sponge cake, leaving the bottom and sides whole. Into this pour a strawberry gela tine jelly or any other desired flavor, and when it is cold and firm cover with sweetened and fla vored whipped cream. Cut in wedge-shaped pieces when serving. Almond Pudding. Boil three-fourths of a cupful of sugar with one-fourth cupful of water to a thick sirup and set aside to cool. Rub two ounces of almond paste to a smooth batter with one-half cupful of cream, adding the cream gradually. Then add the beaten yolks of four eggs and the cooled sirup. Cook in a double boiler to a creamy consistency, stirring while over the lire. Beat and cool, flavoring with a few droits of vanilla. Crumble six lady lingers and stir In, then fold into a cupful of cream that has been beaten stiff. Pour into a mold and chill thoroughly before serving. Caramel Junket.

Bake without a top crust and when cold cover with a cupful of whipped cream to which has been added half a cream cheese pressed through a rlcer. ril M Mm .V j imiii I IISC; ' Wmm' ! wmr:; h seisms Garbed in Gingham for Play. Blue gingham and white pique go to make up the pretty dress and bloom ers in which the little lass of three or more years is garbed for play. These bloomer sets are altogether the most sensible thing for romping children, and there are several well-set-up and attractive models in dresses with bloomers to match to choose from. They Include long and short-waisted dresses, with belts, and are made of colored ginghams with collars, cuffs, and belts in white or in contrasting color or pattern, in gingham, pique or other heavy cotton weaves. There are other substantial weaves In cotton that should be considered for their durability, now that summer Is here, and little folks, spending their time In the open, are sure to climb and scramble if left to themselves to enjoy life as they should, they will do just these things. Kindergarten cloth, galatea cloth and khaki are equal to all sorts of rough handling and any amount of tubbing. ! nr 3p? ilp$ - -fitiiig" " Revival offSfinted Cottons.

Skirts are full enough to allow complete freedom, belts and bodices fasten with flat pearl or bone buttons, and pockets are provided for the treasure-trove of childhood on all the skirts of playtime dresses. The frock pictured Is an excellent model with plain bloomers. It has a high belt slipped through straps of the ging ham and a panel at the front that extends from neck to hem. The rath er ample pockets are of gingham, with facing of white pique and pearl buttons, and are used for fastening bodice and belt.

The coat-frock is much in evidence and it possesses many merits. There are elaborate examples, but the best models are noticeable for their sim plicity. A particularly satisfactory example has a square neck opening fin ished by turnover collar at side and back, the front buttoning over double- breasted fashion, and the waist se- cured by a loose belt. 1
