SCOTT POOLE ' ■ In June 1913. there were four days of ^ cold weathfer—so cold fires were r^uired all day long. Dark clouds covered the sky but tl^y were not rain dlouds. In 1901, in the hill country, the major part of the com crops alon^ streams were flooded and ruined. There was mighty little com made that,year. The water reached up over the ears and that ruins corn. In the olden days, during the summer months, they made fruit pies for dinner and supper and these pies consisted of a layer of pastry, a layer, of fruit or ber- Mes, and a layer of pastry until there were four stories and when you got a piece of that, it was cut through from top to bottom, and nobody ever ate better pie. Young men found amusement in fishing and hunting. There was much more hunting than there is now, but game has about played out.

Just below the spring there would ■ be a small house 'built id which the milk and butter were kept. The spring water at my father’s home was imusually cold and there was a considerable hill above the spring. To keep water when there was a heavy rain, from going down into the milk house, there was a ditch cut across.the hill leading to the spring, carrying the water off to the swamp. Sometimes rain fell so fast j^he water ran over that proteijtion ditch, filling the spring and toilk house. ( postage and for the price of the goods. About that time, an igno rant man who lived near us got stUpe mail and .refused to pay the postage and the letterman had to takp the goods on, and he always fdt like he was the man that brmight the change, when the truth was, he wasn’t known out side his own neighborhood. Forest fires, as reported, have done lots of damage to timber in different parts of the country. One of the things not many peo ple coimt that these forest fires have destroyed is the huckle berry bushes, the best fruit that grows. BIRD HOUSE CONTEST WINNERS In 1886, on the 30th day of April, a cloud came up from the northwest, and there was a stormy wind and hail about the size of hulled black walnuts. It covered the ground to a depth of 5 or 6 inches and looked just exactly like mid-winter when there is snow on the ground. The heavy rain washed it into_ drifts and in lots of low places,it stayed there for several days. Animals may not have sense as human beings do, but they have What-is-vknown as instinct. A lieighbor'^^urs bought tw9 pigs irom a farmer below Cheraw, S. C. and on the way home the pigs gpt out of the sacks in which they were being carried, and they , re turned to their home, 15 miles away. They certainly had had no chance of seeing the country over which they traveled. There was a hail storm several years later near Star, N. C. and the hail was larger and covered a much bigger area. A few years later still, there was a more damaging hail near Asheboro. It came along about this time of year. It destroyed the fruit and wheat crops. In 1911, the first year of Hoke, it was a dry year. On one even ing there was thunder and lightn ing and a light sprinkle of rain for several hours. Recently I read of a dog that had been carried away from his home more than 100 miles. He was turned out at his new home one day r^nd went back where he came from. * Philip News By MRS. R.

S OME car makers say springs make the ride—and so we give every Buick four of the soft, gentle coil springs practically all cars use on front wheels only. Some say the drive is important- how power is transmitted to the rear wheels. We agree—and use a torque-tube drive, that takes up all the' thrust, freeing rear springs of driving pulsation. Some stress tires-so you’ll find low-pressure casings on every Buick, mounted on our own kind of Safety-Ride rimff. Some play up shock absorbers —we make ours fast, soft and sure in action, to wash out all “after-bounce.” Then there are frames—and car weight — and engine mouiUings, which on Buick are a very special kind used nowhere else. They’re all important—yet the plain truth is no one of these things—or two or three—gives a ride you can truly call “unruffled.” We feel it takes all of them — springs, tires, shock absorbers; drive, engine mountings — care fully and precisely brought into balance with each other; You can see why we think so in any Buick —SPECIAL, SUPER or Roadmaster. You can feel it on cobblestmies and car tracks, washboardy gravel and weather-pocked macadam, country lane and city street. You even feel it on boulevards, which grow still smoother whm yon travel them in a Buick—especially when it has Dynaflow Dnve* So we would like you to try' a ride that is truly “unruffled.” Free of harshness—undisturbed by jounce and jitter— level — steady-going — smooth. Just ask any Buick dealer tor ft chance to try out any Buick; You’ll find it “the ride of a life- ■ time”—and the buy of a lifetime too! ^Dynajiow Drioe U $£aiuiar^ dn ROADMASTBB, oP" tional at extra cost on Sctpsk ind Spbcial moiUiiie FOUB-WAY FOBEFBONT This ragged front end (1) sets the style note, (2) saves on repair costs—vertical bars are individ- ually replaceable, (3) avoids "locking harm," t4) makes parking and garaging easier.
