Not until the directors of the min strei snow' to be staged here on Oc tober 20th, began looking around for local talent for their show did thej} realize that there was 3o much of it in the community. Here they found one who could sing, and sing well; another who could dance and still another who was a good speaker and on down the line; someone was found who could fill any place to be filled. This fact has been encouraging and now rehearsals are under way and it is believed that the show to be staged will be one oi the best ever attempted in this section for there is no shortage of local tal ent and every one seems not only willing but eager to take part in th< show. They will cooperate and thai goes a long ways. As was mentioned in last week's News this show is being- staged foi the benefit of the fire department and indications are that it will be i big success from every standpoint. DAHLIA SOCIETY GETTING FINE START. Some time ago someone mentionec the possibilities of a Dahlia Societj here. Very few, at that time evincec much interest in the enterprise bu* now it is under way and bids fair t< become a real live organization, Ai recent meetings it has been broughi out that a number of persons here though they have had very little ex perience with this flower are inter csted in its culture both for the beau ty of the flower and for the profi' is offers for intensive cultivation. Plans are being laid for a perrna nent organization and some are dis cussing a Dahlia show to be stagec early next fall. Several individua growers here have produced, fron time to time, some fine specimen ol this flower, providing that it can b< done here. ?|i| Don't laugh at the mistake^^>tF Bkrs.

A DIFFICULT PROBLEM I TO SOLVE la Transylvania county there ure, according to latest reports, 400 fami lies dependent cn charity. This prob i lem would be simple of solution if S i it were not for two facts. In the ! 1 first place there are not sufficient j ! funds to care for them and in the | . second place the funds available mu3t . | be distributed where they will do the ' j most good. | Americans, as a rule, are a proui people. They will accept charity only as a last resort. But there are ex ' ceptions to the rule and it is these | exceptions which make welfare work ! such a problem. There are some ! people who will do all they can in ! order to secure these funds when they : have not done the best they can to help themselves. There are some who , will ask for charity when they are not in need. They consider these funds . as public and they want their share whether they deserve it or not. Welfare officers can not, in every case, determine which applicant is really in need and which is not. In i this manner many receive aid who . do not need it while others do not ( receive it who are really in need. . At this time, more than at any other > it is important that the small amount ( of aid available be given to the most deserving and the only way in which r this can be done is for only those , who have exhausted every resource . at their command for this aid. I Welfare agencies are doing all that ! is possible for them to do but in or . dev to carry on this work effectually . it is important that they receive the ( aid of every one. | ARE YOU FILLING THE PLACE FOR WHICH YOU ARE ; BEST FITTED? I If you would be successful in life r endeavor to find the place you are | best suited to fill and then do your t best to advance in it. > Life'? failures are misfits. Men t and women who have been attempting t' to fill the places for which they have ( had no aptitude, no talent, no ability. . They have struggled on, desperately . attempting to accomplish big things, . not realizing they were not fitted for t the work or being so situated that they could not make a change. There is nothing that will make for . success more than to feel that you j are in a place where you can exert 1 your best efforts and feci that you , are better satisfied than you would f be in any other capacity. j And the saddest thing in the world is to see men and women plodding on through life, knowing they are * j .misfits and unable to change the ' course of their lives. Success will never come from such a situation. M ore failures are caused by inab'T ity to save than by inability to earn. ; J The man who is continually com- ! plaining about people not doing the things tKfey should be doing is gen erally the one who is at fault. If be were busy doing his own work he would not know that others were not doing their?. SHALL REPEAL THE EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT! Let's repeal the eighteenth amend-! msnt in order that: ? the good, low-abiding citizen, who is too conscientious to drink 'li quor because it is a violation of the law, may do so without any tinge of conscience. ? the boy or girl who wants to "try , it out just for the novelty of the thing" may be able to get it with out embarrassment or inconvenience. What matters it if a habit is formed. ? the old man, who, fn his last years has not the power of will to resist it when it is so easy to 3ecure, may "fee! young again." The fact that it cause him to fill an early grave should cause us no concern, should it? ? the man who has sworn off may, ? in a moment of dejection and despon .] dency, find it easy to renew the habit, ! may drown his sorrows, a thing he j would not have done had it not been so easy, since he had "broken off" with his bootlegger and by the time he would have formed a new connec tion he would have changed his mind. ? that the man who is working for a moderate salary may take some of the money his family needs and spend it for this "stuff" that can only bring i sorrow and remorse. " ! ? the man who does not drink be cause he is afraid of the liquor that is being sold, and who is better off because of it, may drink without these : fears. ? our sons and our daughters may | make their parties "wilder" because j they can get the "whoopee" into it I without violating the law. ? we may admit the laws of the nation are not sound, cannot be en forced, and when we have such a law it should be repealed, as should any law that is violated. Perhaps in time the country may boast of licensed houses of ill-fame, opium-smoking l dens, legal gambling, perhaps even j lotteries conducted by the government and other similar enterprises which will place our nation on an equal footing with other nations who have always tolerated these things and as a result have remained in the back ground as far as progress and devel opment are converned. ? ? that the people of this nation j may sacrifice or. the altar of greed, j the Christianity, morality and the ' general well being of the people and ! do everything possible to lure its | youth and those who may be attracted to it, over the road which will enable us to "merrily stagger to Hell." I ' | THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE ? IN AMERICA I' The lot of the farmer has always ? been a h?v'' He has toiled from daylight to dark and at the end of the year has had very little to show for his labors. Compared to other lines of endeavor his compensation has been discouragingly small. The same routine has been consistently followed, save in a few instances, where some one farmer in a com munity has demonstrated superior ability in the planning of his crops, in the selection of his seed, in choice of fertilizers and in his foresight which has enabled to 'produce the crops which would net him the largest returns. This is tiot an indictment against the farmers of the old school. They did all they knew to do. And their lack of the knowledge which is the proud possession of the planter of today is not to be held against them. Although agriculture is .the backbone (if any nation, and always lias twin, for some reason progress seems to have been slower in this line than in any other. When this knowledge is finally presented to them the farmers use it and profit by it. The farmer who hadi learned by experience or study that this method or that meth od of seed selection, cultivation or crop rotation will be more profitable to him readily puts the knowledge to work and realizes proportionately in creased returns. Today our schools are teaching vo cational agriculture and giving the student the advantage of years of study and experiment. The^ problems our fathers and grandfathers were forced to work out for themselves are being taught these young people so that their work can be confined more to actual production than to experi mentation? Their work will bs more profitable because of it. Our girls are being taught hone-making; not the drudgery that their mothers knew but the modern, scientific way of do ing things. They are being taught to look upon home-inaking as a sci- ! ence and an art. What the future holds in store for the farmers we can not say; but whatever it^is they will be prepared. to make the most of every opportwn- : ity that presents itself. This will ! not be confined to the fields for the ? mothers and wives of tomorrow are I receiving a training that is of no 1 less value than that of the young men \ who will be the fathers and husbands. ! What the outgrowth of this de- 1 pression will me?n to agriculture is j impossible to jforecast but it may mean that quantity production vil! . not be the aim of thfl fanner oi the | future. His efforts will be directed J more toward the production of qua lity products ; making every effort to ; get the maximum production with the minimum expenditure of time and money and that more time will be devoted to the beautiflcation of the home and to the comfort of the fam ily. If that is what is to be the | outgrowth it will be well worth what i It may have cost. And there has begun, through the nation a new movement. People are going back to the soil. Those who left to seek new worlds to conquer and have failed are going back en lightened while those who have never been on the farm are going to a new life and taking the experiences of life in the cities with them. These j people are coming to a realization I that the man or woman who will | work intelligently can make a living ; on the farm. They are tired of city i life; tired of its nerve-racking hustle 'and bustle, its glamour and its con | gestion ; tired of its noises and its ' restrictions. They want to live a natural life; a life of freedom; where I the man who will work can live, If you can only offer adverse criti cism at least make it constructive. The man or woman who knows something about everything seidom knows everything about something. When business is bad talk about the time when it was worse ; not the time when it was better. If you are not living up to the high ideals you preach, don't stop preach ing; begin living according to your preaching. If you can't get anything out of attended church don't try to persuade your neighbor not to attend; he may be more open minded than you are. I % The Practical ? Religion. J t Little applications of Religion J to the Dailv Life. ?> ?> v "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly divi<K*r; the word of irulli." Those who claim to be unable to live the proper kind of life, who do not know just what is the proper thing to do are not living up to the command here set down and that fact is responsible for their being unable to do what is required of them. The commands of God, as set forth in his word, are simple. In the first place, He says study. No one would be foolish enough to -pick up a book on History and glance thru it or read one chapter here and another there 1 about history. Nor is this true of I any other slubject. If one would learn one must study. It. is only to those who do not study the Bible that it appears contradictory. We have laws today thafc are contradictory. Why? Because one law was made to care for a certain condition existing at one time. We progressed and then other laws were made to fit the needs of the day. The old law was good when it wag passed. The new law was passed, not necessarily - to re place the old one but to care for con ? ditions that did not exist at the time I the first law was made. ! It is only by careful study that j the Bjible can be made self-explana tory. Casually glancing at the va rious texts will give the impression of contradiction while study will re veal the opposite. It is because of this fact that we are commanded to study. We are not to take only what is given by the minister or by stu dents of the Bibie but each individual i must study for himself. Your ' thoughts, your ideas, your inspira | tion, as your read and study may give I you ar. insight into the teachings of the Holy Word that you could not get from any other source. And when you study, do 30 with an open mind ; forget the things you may have heard and seen and read in order that you may think out the problems you encounter while you read. Whatever your mood there is al ways something to be found in the j Bible which will be an inspiration to . you. There is always something new, ' some new idea, some new thought. : You read a verse or a chapter and connect it with some other that you may have read and this connection may give birth tc the solution of a j problem that had been worrying you for some time. Your minister can be of invaluable aid to you in the study of the Bible but do not depend on him too much. He can not live your life for ynu; he can not do your studying for you. You must do something for yourself if you would be "a workman that needeth not to be ashamed." Prices should be more satisfactory : for apples this winter because of the i short supply in the main growing sec- i tion of Western North Carolina, say? s rr T r h v --.Jurist at < State College. 1 FORCED LANDINGS By R. X Poole Todays Nuisance: Ghas. Morgan, Ed Wike and a few othets, not men- j tioning some certain ones, would suf- ! fer tha loss of their home if Long? j Drug Store ahculd happen to bnrnj down. George, over at the Cafe says that business picked up Sunday when a .fellow came in and ordered 4 orders i of eggs, being eight in number, which ' were fried ; 3 orders of buttered toast, being 9 slices; 1 order of boiled ham and 2 cups of coffee. After eating such an enormoui sum of food, payed George and told him that he was in a hurry and would come back later and eat a square meal. (If there is1 anyone desiring proof to this state ment I will gladly invite you to go over to the Cafe and eliminate any such doubt that exists in your mind by questioning the proprietor or the cook about the matter.) Now there has been a new deep sea diving record made with a apparatus invented by Otis Barfon, which de scended half a mile under water ? ! Probably this will be another solution j to find some of the precious -jewels i that the deep sea has been hoarding | for ail these years and also help the j unemployed situation if there hap ? pens to be a defect in the apparatus, I because the pressure is about 4,800 Itons, enough to flatten anyone if the {apparatus fail3. One thing that Mr. Oliver Orr can ! not understand is the world turning ? every twenty-four hours and never ! getting anywhere. ? * | If the brains of some people were : grease, there would not be enough to j grease 'the hinges on their grand ? mothers glasses. Mr. Mills was down town recently ] and happened to be discussing dogs, i During the conversation a- man in I sisted that he show his well bred dog to Mr. Mills. He knowing his dogs and the worth of dogs, looked at the | animal and without hesitation, said i yes, he is well bred, because bread is 1 all that he will hunt.

Hearing about Mollie Snelson get ting married in Asheville recently sure was a shock to some of the young ! hopefuls of Brevard who would have enjoyed having her for cook and chief bottle-washer.

If you want to know whether a person is dead or alive just apply the flame of a candle to the tip of one of the big toes of the supposed" corpse, and a blister will immediately rise. If the vitality is gone this will be full I of air, and will burst with some I noise if the flame be applied to it a few seconds longer; if life is not ; extinct, the blister will be full of rnat ' ter and will not burst. The test should be applied as soon as life is supposed to be extinct. I Henry Henderson: Maggie did you know that George was dead? Maggie Owenby: No, what George? Henry Henderson: "George Wash ington." ! The management of the Harper ! Method Beauty Parlor should appre | date having a business worker like j Margaret Barnett. She even goes to | the extent of inviting men to have I their beautification made at this es I tablishment ? We know this is a true statement because she invited Cecil i Brantley to come in so she could give ; him a permanent wave. In describing Miss Case as "Viva j cious and Exuberant," columnist ; Brantley, better known as (A. Loung er), no doubt must have had an in i spiration. ? Clever folks can i%ad be j tween the .lines. | In the olden times the people were ! so good and never did anything that was a disgrace to the community, but today the world is going to the dogs j with everyone a sinner ? To my , ! opinion, the people of tjic olden days were as bad as they arc today, deir.g i their meanness behind the door white in this modern age it is done openly. ; Maybe by the women dipping snuff in those days had lots to do with keeping the men from slobbering over j them as they do today. If one would think for a moment | and glance back through the years ; that have passed by, ha or she would see many things that they have done that were far more worse -than the younger generation of today are doing. * I Today the country is run by old : people, not admitting the young to j take such positions to show their j ability to do good things. We are in ' the midst of a worldly depression that 1 has caused many to fall by the way- j side and lead r destructive life who j before were leading a constructive i type of life. "Who caused the Depression V ? the old people did it and today they j are downing the younger generation I for the crash. They are wanting to ' repeal all the gocd iaw3 that we have and according to the religion that. lome of the old people have they will 'oon want to repeal the Ton C nandments. j SHOULD ADVERTISE WOOD AS REAL FUEL Those folks who enjoy a fire-place and appreciate the cheer and cosi ness of a fireplace on frosty fall ev engins say there is no substitute for wood as a fireplace fuel. The wood fire :n the kitchen range will heat the kitchen while the food is cooking and will also give a sup ply1 of hot water thus reducing the costs of the three operations, says R. W. Graeber, extension forester at Stat* College, who believes farmers , stiuuld advertise the virtues o^wood ! as a fuel. "For the farmer himself, is : no -more efficient fuel than the wood I from his own forest," says Graeber, i "and it undoubtedly is true that many city people may save on their fuel bilis by using wood for cooking ' and heating. Particularly is this true ' in the early fall and spring when it is not economical to have the furnace going. A wood fire is quickly and easily started and when the fuel is ! dry and well seasoned, the amount of smoke and gas is reducsd to a ! minimum. Many a city person has j found that he can use wood in his furnace at less cost than coal. Some use wood during the day and coal J at night. A wood fire in a furnace requires more attentiofi than a coa! fire but by using large chunks of hardwood and giving attention to the grates and drafts, this objection may ~ be largely overcome.'' I Mr. Graeber believes the merits of North Carolina hardwood as fuel : should be continually emphasized by ! farmers and other woodland ownefS. It should not be hard to establish ? dependable trade in the fuel where the buyers are assured of a constant ] supply. This lack of a supply is one reason why more city people do not buy more wood. At this time, how ever, many people are interested in ! reducing their iivir.g costs and will give more attention to the arguments , in favor of wood, he says. ! Dr. A. Capehart of Roxobel, Bertie County, says he will make 20 bales of cotton on 16 acres where he used good seed and liberal applications of stable manure. j EXECUTOR'S NOTICE i Having qualified as executor of the ' estate of Sarah M.
