Mr. X. Y. Z., a prominent bnsi-
nesa man of Brovard, contributes
an article this week c.n a subject of
vital interest to the community.
While the Nows is not in ayin
pathy with .sentiment that wonld
tear dow’n IikmiI business by unjust
criticism or by unnocesstiry com
petition, it does believe in the high
est possible eflficieney w’arranted by
tho support received. The News
IS not in a position to say whether
or niU the ])usiness of the Brevard
TeU'pbone conijiany will jn.stify the
imi)roVi'Uients necessary to mod-
1‘rnly ejuip the plant, but the ser-
viet' is not satisfactory to many ctf
the subscribers, (’onsidering the
pri^ressiveness of other busine.ss
interests in thi* comnianit^", the
tt'lenhono company is not Ifeeping
I)iic»* witli the march of ])rogress.
Will the business justify a more
modern system? Wonld improved
service mean mon^ subscribers and
could the number of snbdcribers be
increased by a campaign for on-
enbirgement with the assurance of
most t'fticient service every day and
night in the week? These are
tjuestions the ])resent management
. r any ownership contemplated
will have to consider thoroughly.
If business conditions will justify
a more adequate and eflicient ser
vice, the jiresent company is in a
better position to servo tho public
in a reasonably satisfactorv man
ner than a now company wonld be
without a heavy initial investment
and the News wonld like to see
elTorts concerted along this line
rather than hear of opposition.
However it may come, Brevard
would welcotno more adequate ser-
VlCt).

IS BREVARD READY FOR
NEW 'PHONE SYSTEM?
Editor, News :
Isn’t it time Brevard bad a tele-
jihone .s\'st(*m that is not out of or
der when it is most needed?
Don't the subscribers pay t'nough
to have all day Sunday and all
night service? Why is it necessary
for the patrons of the system to
ring and then ring some more when
they want to change connections?
Why is it that To per crnt of the
time yon have to gness what your
party is sa\ ing?
The town has imi)rov*Hl in every
wiiy except in its telophono system.
Why?
Brevard needs a new up-to date
telephone system. Parties who
have investigated tho matter say
that at least 7r. per cent of the i)res-
ent subscribers will change to the
new system.

It appears from nows w’hich
leaked ont of (lormany, in spite of
the unusually closo C(*nsorshin,
that tho German oflicials are telb
ing their men and women that the
American troops will cut littlo
figure in tho big war. If tho Get
man people knew what they were
up against they would refuse to
listen to such foolish ass*irtions.
Tho funni(‘st part of it is that
they claim that Americans can’t
think (juick enough. What u joke !
That’s otir rej)utation—quick to
think. The (-iermans'will lind that
out soon enough. Iti tho mean
time, we at home should get ready
for tho big drive.
Of course we all can’t go to tho
front but we can do our bit in just
as important a manner rif'ht here
at home. Let us keep fit to carry
on the industries of the nation, till
the soil, work the mines, and keop
the ammunition flowing to the
front in a steady stream.
Hackaches must b* gotten rid of ;
those stomach dis(^rders such as in
digestion, constipation, etc., must
be ebminat.*d ; w'eak, ana*rnio bodies
must b(i made strong and vigorous ;
weak kidneys and bladder must be
strengthened: in other words we
must keep fit!
Ac'd Iron Mineral will keeji you
fit. It is not a j)atent medicine.
It is a i)ur»i, natural iron ]>repara-
tion obtained from the onlj' natu.
ral medicinal iron mineral deposit
of its kind known to the world. It
aids digestion, increases w(*ight,
creates ai»petite, strengthens dor
mant muscles, brings a healthy
color to the skin, and builds up the
body in gent*ral ; and is free from
alcohol, will not injure or discolor

PIC rURES FROM HOME give cheer to the boys on the
front, or to the boys waiting in camp. There are likely to be
some tedious, home-sick days and a little cheer-up in the way
of photographs of the homefolks and the home doings will do
them a lot of good.
And some day when you want to give something a little
more substantial send along a Kodak and ask your Soldier Boy
