Address All Communications To The BrevaVd News: G Foreign AdvertissnB Repreaentative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION •rking- many FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1921 ARE WE LOSING OUR PROGRES SIVENESS? Mas Brevard contracted that dread ^'d wialady, sleeping sickness? Last Fourth of July we failed to observe the day in any form whatsoever. As B substitute for our unpatroitic ac tion, it was proposed to have a Home Coming Day later. A committee was appointed to make the arrange ments and se’ect a date, but the pro position died a natural death for lack of interest. Then it was proposed that we have our regular county fair ns usual, but the county agent, who heretofore has promoted it, advised he hag made no preparation and to make the attempt now would mean failure and injure our chances for a reaJ honest to goadness fair next fail. We v.'ill confess that it is too iate now to begin to pi'epare and adver tise a fair but whose fault was it that it was not started last June? Last but not least we endeavored to have a get together banquet last Thursday nigit:, but at the last minute for reasons unforseen, that had to be advanced to another date. Remem ber ihat water, regardless of how •pure, if permitted to stand too long will stagnate, and likewise a com munity regardless of how progress ive, if allowed to remain inactive will lose their progressivsness, there fore let us have our “get together banquet” or bust. This will give us the desired opportunity of starting the “Ball to Roiling” which is so characteristic of Brevard. We un derstand that Frof. Trowbridge has kindly consented t© donate' Ihe use of the institute dining room for this occasion proVided Vv’e ^do the rest. Thi| would be an ideal place, suffi ciently large to accomodate two»hun- dred or more and it would not be a bad idea for the committee to invest! gate its possibilities. However, if no place suitable can be found for a banquet why not have an outside feed of some Idnd, say a barbeque or something of the kind. Let us hear from the “boosters”. A splendid time for some such an event would be on November 11, Armistis day. The city Fathers have this un ’d6r advisement. . „ < TOOTING OUR OWN HORN: It seems to have nearly always be^n the custom in this community to criticize, knock and condemn the local newspaper not in any construc tive way but simply because it be came the habit during the past ten ar twenty years. Fortunately this miserable habit is disappearing with the exception of a very few old fog ies who w.T .t their "nx ground by the Newspaper. Resolutions of com mendation and ^eat praise is gener ally given to my organizations or community entr ,)rises that take fon struct!ve positius for the good of this community v /en though no other position could b > taken — However ^the News ig thoi :>ughly satisfied with tits wonderful ir'uence and wifh results obtained n its fight for the up-building of tlris communi^. We are satisfied with the praise ^own in the way of new snbscriptioiia and renewals. Instead of finding fault 2'Iways why not give a little credit 9 yonr ol<] town riieet where it is honestly due. Of wurse if you can’t praise the News then KNOCK, just as long as you do something. It advertises us anyway. , THE SCARCITY MORTGAGE MOriBYt No tingle institation wUch em> ploys ^ method of monthly repay ment principid i|#e li i^uch to ll^ liilptte owner iki t litaociation. beiR^erg^y to the come to p»y my rent” Last ye^r these as.*<t«iati^s adde«l ‘f46O^0lOO»<Q)Od to the^' aisaets afi'd nearly 700,000 new members. It is said.that ^e total home-purchaae loans amounted to 200,000. jBifost of their loans are of sn^U amounts, averaging less than $3000 each. In >Iew York State, where the deVeiop- ^ent of the building-and-loan has been relatively less than in Pennsyl vania, Ohio, New Jersey, Massa chusetts and Illinois, one concern has made more than $1,200,000 in ho'me- building loans since January first. But valuaole as the w’ork of these institutions has been in' the last few years they cannot begin to meet the demand fo/ funds. It. is estimated that they could make $500,000,000 more home-building loans a yeta i£ they had thfe money. Tho presid^t of One such concern in the metro politan area*of New York City says that he turned down $100,000 a week in applications on good secur ity from people in good health and with good character and good jobs. Women come to him with tears in their eyes begging for loans to re- piace mortgages called" by private in vestors, and he is of the opinion that any building-and-loail which adver tised its willingness to lend freely require the police force to keep ^nier during business hours. The foregoing extract from a re cent article in the “Saturday Even ing Post”, by a leading financial authority, ipeaks in big figures; bfllt every word of it applies i^ ^ proper; tionate degree to the situation right here at home. It is to be regretted that there is not a wider interest in, and knowledge of, thft activities and good work being done by our own local building - loan - association; for we feel sure that such realization would bring it the more general sup port and patronage it so weH deser ves. Many of our people may know of one or two ca§es in which some friend or neighbor have been enabled hy this association to build or buy and in a few years own their home, who witiiout such aid probably never would have risen out of the rent-pay ■ng class; and that home-owners make our best citizens is a saying too trite and true to need elaboration. But two few of us realize that we can and should have a part in this Ir.udable work. Those who wish to borrow to buy or build a home are, in such commun ities as ours, as well as in the city of New York, always in excess of those who have the money to lend for such a purpose. But most of Us have one, two, or more hundred dollars laid away, or deposited somewhere, as a reserve against some future need. Such sums deposited in the paid-up- sto^c department of the Building and Loan Association would yield the owner from 5 to 6 per cent interest, free of all taxes. Anything like concerted action in this line on the ^“part of our more fore handed people ^ would gnable the as sociation to fill more loans and do it more promptly, while t^ lenders would not only be aid.ng %ieir own home people but would also be doing it at a better actual cash profit than is being paid by any savings bank. Our readers can do no more laudable act than to “think on these things” and then act accordingly. Big shipment of Tanias just recei ved. Davis-Walker Drug C6. local agents. WBYTHAT IATE BACK?

Huge new ice manufacturing plMts have recently been built at Jacksoo- ville, Miami, Haines City and Lake land. Florida, in order to insure a suffleient and regular supply of ice for the cars. This is In adflltion to the move ment of 10,000 cars of Georgia peaches and other thousands of cars of small fruits and vegetables in iced cars from the Carolinsis and Virginia, where large modem icing plants have been constructetL These figures will be startnng to the thousands of fruit and vege table growers of the South who have not been informed as to the actual workings of the great new adjunct to the transportation Indus try that is fast increasing the wealth of the Southern States. A mass of conflicting information and fragmentary figures was re cently submitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission in Washing ton in connection with the applica tion of the Florida Railroad Com missioners for a reduction in re frigeration charges, and in th« near future the effort will be made by #:ransportation companies to throw the spot light on the actual operations and all the costs involved in protecting the products of South- eim fruit and vegetable growers from their farms and plantations to the tables of consumers in New Tork, Chicago and other great and distant markets. Certain of their officials state that the public lacks reliable information of what it actually means to take an orange, a head of cabbage or lettuce, a bunch of celery a grape fruit or a. bOx ot strawberries from the warm Southern climate to the table of the Northern consumer in ^s fresh and e^Vle condition as though grown ii^ Us own back yard. They want that/information to be gathered by an official body so that the farmer who raist-f and ships his crop and the man in New York, who buys the fruits and oat of season vegetables, once looked upon as lux uries, may know w^hether they are paying fair charges for refrigera- ' tion enroute to market, and whether the transportation companies can give proper ser'^ce on the charges allowed by the Federal Commission. The volume of shipments under refrigeration out of Florida, alone, last year, was twice that of two years ago and six times that of nine years ago, indicating the im portance of the question for the fu ture both to produeiirs and con* sumers. ^ •m vaemmui^ ia (tfal meni^'^^i^lll liM Aside ftoA d^b actO!]^ Davi'i^fUalker Drug Co. of htiiiMtfiiQs,; wi _ on inOte iitffering; more sleeplessness^ more ’’iilfeoiiper thah Wi^erldngie causeu But TOXJ CAN GET RID of constii)atioB.

V^ith Europe’s biggest trained ani mal show as one of the many splen did features, the Ringling Brothers and B&mum & Bailey Combined Shows will exhibit afternoon and night at Asheville Oct. 8. This marvel curcus of 1921 offers :;h3 greatest congres of attractions in history. Without eliminating any of^ the thousand thrills produced by hundreds of the most skilful men and women performers, the Ringling Brother have added, without addi tional charge, the most sensational of wjld beasts displays. ' Not only will yoe see the artists who occupy the three rings, fiive stages, the great hippodrome track and the aerial rig ging in the tent rop, bu^ four spa cious steel arenas filled with wild beasts as well. Tiggers riding peaceablj* on the backs of elephants, biack-maned Af rican lions springing to and fro from gaHoping horses, great troupes of polar bears walking ropes or play ing at see-saw, leopards jumping through hoops of fire — these are some of the marvelous thinks that these wonderful animals do. While these .beautiful creatures are under absolute control, they are presented only in great arenas of steel. Else where in the main tent you will see camels performing much after the fashion of horses — an act never before presented anywhere. There Hidden .Strength The ancient Greek artisans displayed as much care over their handiwork in hidden places as m Ae parts exposed to view. They said it was because the gods could see everywhere. WTiat they were really try ing to express in their primitive way was their understan^ng of the fact that a thing was neither Maut^ul nor strong the quality endured througUbut. Framework Is Important The finished floor may be made to look strong by the floor ing which covers it. But its strength lies in the skeleton-the framework and timbers beneath. It must be good to be strong. In beams, rafters and lath, as in all varieties of lumber, we have concen trated oar attention on getting only the good qualities. You can bay with assurance beta.
