V - Cooper GaD farmers ar cph-qi'tIut doing their part in raising of food crops this year. A number of the farmers of that township were in Tryon Tuesday and Wednesday, after a consignment of cans, numbering 59,0JU. . They visited the NEWS of fice and were instructed in the way in which the NEWS is manufactured ev ery week. It was the good fortune of the editor to make atrip through Cooper Gap not long since, and we were .agreeably surprised at the fine food crops that met our gaze on ev ery hand, and many thousands of veg etables and fruits will be canned in that section this year. Mr. Howard J. Carpenter, nephew of Mrs. Richard J. whose visits here to his relatives, have made him known to Tryon people, went to Washington last week to meet his aunt on her way to New York. She missed him and went on. In the n.eantime his wife became alarmed at bis failure to return or communicate with him, went to Washington to find him helpless at the station where he had been a day or two, just recover ing consciousness from a paralytic stroke that he had suffered only pre vious to the arrival of the train that brought his aunt. He was unable to say anything except to ask "Where's Aunt Mary?" and so could give no account of himself. At last reports from Mrs. Carpenter he was much better. Many patrons of the Lanier Library are familiar with his name on account of the readable books he has contributed to that institution. w. s. s REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. UNION SERVICE. .B C.

IT LAYS THEM OUT. r- After a5 fty year's: straggle, the snlightened portion of the Methodist church secured "votes for women" in their organization. It was, of course, promptly vetoed bo the Bish ops. The less democ racy in their church the more Prussianized their control. They also prefer to have it still known as the "Holy Catholic Church" rather than "Christ's Holy Church." For- they refused also to have it so changed. A certain per centage of mankind don't want the world to move. When at last it does thev throw themselves in front of it like the devotees of Juggernaut. It rolls over them like an armored war tank and leaves them behind well flattened out and unable to ever do it again. E. G. H. w. s. s. 0 LANIER LIBRARY FLOURISHES.

One of 'em -perhaps more can be seen at it while waiting for the mail at the postomce, at the station, at the drug gists' while indulging, in spite of Hoover, in an ice cream soda or peach sundae. She says it's the odd minutes. It looks as though it was the even ones, too. She evidently be lieves that if you take care of the knittins the hours will take care of themselves. She says she believes she could knit a pair of socks every 24 hours. "I don't believe it," said a friend. "It's just as true as if you did believe it," said the knitter. 'You'd have no time for anything else." "O, I'd have someone dress me and feed me like a baby, and keep on lenittin', and I'd learn to knit in my sleep. I could turn out a stocking very night and have time for dreams and nightmares besides." While ev eryone has great faith in the activ ties of Tryon . women, it is probable :hat this one exagerates somewhat. Yet, as Shakespeare's Macbeth tells as, "Sleep knits up the raveled sleeve )f care." Why shouldn't it knit up a itocking? At any rate here's a sum to do. If one Tryon woman can knit a pair of socks a day, how many can 0 Tryon women knit? How many regiments could they supply in a year The proprietors of the NEWS BEE offer a 24 hours' subscription to .his paper to the one who first gets the right answer. A Tryonite was reading about a aian whose wife insisted on his shav ing twice a day, and agreed if he vould to keep him in hot water. An ther Tryonite said his wife did that about lots of things anyhow. He'd have to have his hair cut twice a day if she happened to take the notion. Marriage is said to be a lottery. Thsi is why, according to rumor, a Tryonite chose a wife by lot. It was a ten acre one with a good house and some timber on it. He naturally thinks a lot of her. Tryon and Polk county, as well as many other parts of the country, heard much good speaking during the Liberty Loan drive. But' one of the shortest was the most effective. It was the speech of the person who said "I'll take $5000 worth of bonds." It had the elements of great oratory.

H Whether it's subscribing to Liberty Loans, War Stamps or Red Cross, "Come across" seems to be Tryon's war cry and slogan. Although an experienced agricul tural official says that Tryon and Polk county is a grass-growing re gion, its scarcity makes people doubt him. Perhaps they're the kind of folks that don't let it grow under their feet. ADAM JAY WALKER. W. S.
