Hats off to the Betterment asso
ciation. It’s doing worthy service.
The h. c. 1. makes gardening in
Brevard unusually jiopular. Kv-
erybody’s doing it.
Make preparations to attend the
county Sunday school rally and
see that your Sunday school is rej)-
resented.
Forest fires can be seen at night
on the mountains. They are very
costly to the land-owners and peo
ple should exercise more care when
starting a fire in the woods.
Kncourage your boy or girl to
join the club and work for one of
the prizes to be awarded at the
coming school commencement.
Start them on the road to Thrift,
the capital of Success.
The News acknowledges correc
tion from the Cherokee Scout,
wliich says that Cherokee county
has had a farm demonstration
agent for two years instead of re
cently beginning the work, wliich
has “been entirely satisfactory,”
adds the Scout.
“Upon the farmers of the coun
try, therefore, in large measure
rests the fate of the war and the
fate of the nations," said I’rcsidcnl
Wilson in his appeal to farmers
and gardeners. He recognized
their activities as a most patriotic
service to the countrv.
The News has resumed the
weekly Sunday school lessons pre
pared by Mr. Sellers of the Moody
Bible Institute. You can get the
gist of the lesson well summed uj)
in the Sunday school column each
week. It's worth reading even if
you don't attend vSunday school.
Judging from the faithful army
of loafers on the Scpiare vou
wouldn't think of great activity in
town, but the industrious class is
building, painting-up. cleaning-up
and making gardens and the loaf
ing man. white or black, is loafing
O.it of his own accord. Plenty to
do in Brevard.
If you are a young man or
woman and a descendant of a Con
federate veteran and need financial
help in attending .school, look over
the li.st of free scholarships in this
number of the News and put in
3'our application at once. By neg
lecting this you may be spurning
the opportunity that would, by ac
ceptance, make a great man or
woman out of vou.
A few hours of faithful work
with a drag would place most of
the roads in a good smooth condi
tion but many of them were per
mitted to get hard and remain full
of ruts and holes, which make a
joke of everything the county is
attempting to do in the way of
road improvements. It is a dis
grace and insult to a tax-paying
people.
Many acres of soil have been
turned within the past two weeks.
Every farmer should make use of
the opportunity presented him.
Food products are scarce and will
be shorter than in many years if
there is active warfare with the
United States. The farmer owes
it to himself and to his (jountry to
grow as much stuff as possible for
it will be needed and most likely at
top-notch prices.
Delaying Court.
Did you ever stop to think seri
ously over the difference between
ft judge and jnror or Vt’itness when
lato at court? The judge can be ii
half or whole day late. Makes no
explanation; opens court and it
the juror who has possibly 25 niilofl
to come either through zero weath
er or summer’s suu does not an
swer the call he is called out and
subject to a fine of This is a
weak point in court machinery. In
Tiiany instances, just as in Brevard
this week, the judge is lato.
There should bo a change in condi
tions either permitting or necessi
tating such. If judges have a
compunction ngiiii st traveling on
Sunday and can’t reach court on
Monday morning they should be
fore hand provide for opening
court on Tuesday instead of Mon
day. It is costly to a county for
jurors, defendants, litigants And
witnesses to idle away their time
and have no court and it is too in
convenient at busy times like this
for the farmer to leave the field
unless his services are needed.
There are too many shortcomings
in this respect and those in a posi
tion to prevent such should exer
cise their conscience or somebody
should exercise it for them.
Hendersonville Jigain.
The News two weeks ago
pointed out the folly of Hender
sonville in claiming the whole
earth and a fair-sized .slice of the
moon in mountain attractions, cli
mate, water, etc., and last week
the Hendersonville Hustler prac
ticed the doctrine found in Prov
erbs l."):l.
In quite a flattering and satirical
manner it sets us up on a high
jx;de.stal in a column editorial as
an “ideal journalist,” making its
readers think that we took it upon
our.selves to advocate Henderson
ville’s claims and winded boasts.
Yes. the Hustler wants to ‘‘mega-
phonically” thank us aud besides
has advocated that the Henderson
ville Board of Trade call a special
meeting and give a big banquet in
our honor just because we at
tempted to puncture the windbag
of that town. Just as we said be
fore, Hendersonville has plenty
good things to boost without claim
ing exclusive rights to everything
in the whole of Western Carolina.
But that irony, burlescjue, sar
casm and satire was a masterpiece
for the Hustler.
EVIDENCES OF PATRIOTISM
ARE SEEN IN BREVARD
Brevard has not held any public
patriotic demonstrations but llttgs
can be seen w’aving in the breezes
in various {mrts of town, from resi
dences, places of business and autos,
and lapels and hat bands bear small
flHgS.
People are talking war on every
side and reading the newspapers
with interest. A few citizens have
offered their services to the country,
to various authorities, in the event
of need, among them being Jos. S.
Silverstein, T. H. Shipman, Ora L.
Jones, W. E. Breese and Thomas
Teague. Mynardie Cloud has joined
the navy, enlisting at Raleigh this
week.

LESSON FOR APRIL 22
JESUS ANOINTED AT BETHANY.
LESSON TEXT-John 12:1-11.
GOLUKN TEXT—She hath done what
•he could.—Mk. 14:8.
This is a lesson of Jesus In the
home. It occurred at the beginning of
passion week. We have before us the
master; the worker, Martha; the wor
shiper, Mary; the witness, Lazarus;
the traitor, Judas, and the people with
out. An uitcouscious bit of wisdom
ft*ll from the lips of that good house
wife who exchiimed, “Ilow much bet
ter my neighbors’ htmses look when I
have iny windows clean.” Too much
we are looking through the eyes of
selflshness. i)ut of this les.son let us
learn to look through unselfish eyes.
I. Unjust Criticism (w. 1-6). It is
pIx days before Jesus* last Passover.
The accounts of Matthew and Mark
suggest it to have been within two
days, because they mentioned this
feast after telling of the conspiracy of
the chief priests and elders with Ju
das, wlio came to his determination to
sell his Master after the reprimand
given him on this occasion.
(1) The Value of Good Deeds. Je
sus did not forget, in the supreme
hour of his life, the friends whom hn
loved. To bring them some further
spirltual gifts, he had come to their
home in Bethany. Doubtless he also
had in mind the desire to nourish the
faith which had bet'U kindled in the
hearts of all by the resurrection of
I..azarus, just as he returned to Cana
after having performed his first mir
acle (John 4:"»4). Jesus was Very
(lod of Very God, yet he was very
much of a real man; therefore he en
joyed the pleasures of home as much
as other men, and the J«>ys of kinship
and brotherhood.
(2) The Wealth of Good Deeds. Out
of her love Mary expended $51, prob
ably her whole treasure, in the pur
chase of this alabaster box, and put
it aside to u.se it upon him at the
proper time. We do not think that she
stopped to calculate the cost of this
ointment. Love never estimates value.
Her deed proved a safer guide of con
duct than the calculating prudence of
Judas and the other disciples (see
Matt. 2G:S). Such deeds are always
looked upon with susi^icion. The Isca
riots usually are the leaders in criti
cizing the actions of others. Envy lay
at the bottom of their criticism, but
good deeds are unconscious, for we
read that “the house was tilled with
odor.”
(3) A Standard of Good Deeds
(Mark 14:8) ; “She did what she
could,” and we have al.so the record
of g*»od deeds, u memorial to her
(Mark 14:9). A large niimber of peo
ple who never give of their own to the
poor nor to the kingdom of God are
willing to criticize others who do give
out of the gratitude of their loving
hearts.
II. Gracious Commendation (vv.
7-11). Jesus praised where his disci
ples and Judas criticized. The poor
they always had with them (Mark
14:7). This must have been a chal
lenge that evidently they had not at
tended to the poor as they should.
Jesus also tells them frankly that
whatever they do for him they must
do speedily. Jesu.s’ judgment upon
Judas is a rebuke of the disciples; his
exposure of the sophistry of the crit
ics aud of their subtlety is suggestive.
Upon Mary's act he bestowed the
highest possible praise. “She hath
done what she could.” That is all that
is asked of anyone (II Cor. 8:12). Such
commendation as Jesus bestowed upon
Mary he bestowed upon no other, and
his wonderful predictions concerning
her (Matt. 26:13) have been literally
fulfilled. Jesus’ Judgment upon Mary
Is al.so suggt'stive. He shielded her,
“let her aloneHe approved her
works as being good, and he inter-
l»reted her Innermost purpose in the
act which she had performed. This
outward act was literally the pouring
forth of her heart’s adoration and wor
ship. Martha was In part taken up
with her household service. Lazarus
was in part taken up with his enjoy
ment of the presence of Jesus, but
Mary was wholly taken up with Jesus
himself. Does the record surprise us:
“Wheresoever this gospel shall be
prea,ched throughout the whole world,
this also which she hath done shall be
spoken of for a memorial of her?”
Judas, under the Judgment of Jesus,
was stung (Matt. 26:14) and hurries
at once to the enemies of Jesus to
strike a bargain with them for the be
trayal of his Lord though he did not
secure from these enemies the equiva
lent of what she had poured upon him.
Christ will bi no man’s debtor. He
takes the poor offerings we lay before
him, and crowns them with the rich
est reward. Mary’s gift of ointment
received words of commendation of
wiiich she never dreamed, and a re
ward far beyond her fonde.st hope, and
has been the foun4; of countless deeds
rich with love. Many people had gath
ered, not only for Jesus’ sake, but
ihut they might see Lazarus also. He
drew people because of what Je.sus had
'ioue for him, yet he drew tl>'»n to
•lesus. This broilght him also i;nder
condemnation, for we must share the
ulttemess of the foes of Jesus.
CALOMEl SAUVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts Like Dynamite on a Slug
gish Liver and You Lose
a Day’s Work.
There’s no reason why a person should
take sickening, salivating calomel when
50 cents buys a large bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone—a perfect substitute for calo
mel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely as
calomel, but it doesn’t make you sick and
can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson’s Liver Tone, because it is per
fectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take a
dose of nasty calomel today and you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated tomorrow.
Don’t lose a day’s work. Take a spoonful
of Dodson’s Liver Tone instead and you
will wake up feeling great. No more
biliousness, constipation, sluggishness,
headache, coated tongue or sour stomach.
Your druggist says if you don’t find Dod
son’s Liver Tone acts better than horrible
calomel your money is waiting for you.—
