a- poijx eounnr r unrai fcnYon" n: o. f U U L MJ? U UJ J Ui L U II TOE MOUNTAIN INDUSTRIES - Four Schol or ships-to I be Given to Those Desiring : tb Learn Wood Carving, Toy Making and Weaving. Four Looms to be Purchased for .." That Purpose. ' : The Mountain Industries, of Tryon, N. C, was formed May 1 1 , 1911, for the purpose of fostering and im proving the industries native to the mountain people in thi9 vicinity, as well as to furnish, a market for their Dro ducts. ? Through your support l these bb-J 2 ects have been ; so far attained tnat there seemed one year ago no real necessity for continuing to assist them. At this : time Mrs. W. P. Stone, of Tryon, offered to purchase the "stockanli to continue the business as - a commercial enterprise. v Her proposition was accepted, the direa tors, however, taking every precau tion to safeguard the objects for which the society was .organized. A tentative; sale of the stock was made to Mrs. Stone, with the pro vision' that if atjiny time of the year either party should be 'dissatisfied the business should be returned to th. association, the latter agreeing to take any stock which could be classed as belonging to the mountain industries, at cost price; Mrs. Stone agreeing to conduct the business on lines already established and not to change "the. name of the society. This arrange ment having been found satisfactory after a year's trial, the directors at a recent meeting, voted to continue it for the coming year. A resolution was passed recom mending to the association that from the funds now. in the treasury, which amount to nearly seventeen hundred dollars, four scholarships of sixty dol lars each, be given to young men and women wishing to learn wood carving, toy making and weaving, and that four looms be purchased for the use of pupils. These looms are to be under the care of the instructors, to be loaned by them to those in need of same. Mrs. Eleanor Vance and Miss Charlotte Yale, to 1 whom is due the success of the famous Biltmore In dustries, are now teaching wood carv ing, toy making and weaving in Try on. . These scholarships are to be in charge of . these ladies, they to have control of same, under the associa tion, thus enabling them to extend the work in which they are engaged, particularly the art of weaving, which has been for nearly three centuries an important part of the life of the people of the mountains, but which, on account of the indifference of the younger women,-is in danger of dy ing out. With the modern and much smaller looms and the more modern designs, much interest has been awakened in the new, while the old will not be allowed to be forgotten. At the meeting of April 3, above referred to; it was "voted to hold the annual meeting on May 7.', As a con tributing: member of the .association, you have a voice in the disposal of its funds. Will you. be present at the meeting? If hot, will you signify your, approval of the reverse of the recommendations contained in ' the resolution? . Will you ' also : state whether in case the sale-of the assets should become permanent you will approve of an increased number of these similar scholarships? - "Take It Easy." A great many young folks make hard work of things that should be per fectly easy, and as long as there are plenty of really hard duties to be done, It seems a pity to make hard work of the rest. One of the arts of life is to learn to do our work In' the easiest way,' saving on the simpl e , tasks strength to apply to the hard dut s. -V "" - HOW CAti YOU TELL YOUR FAVORITE TOBACCO? As Plain as the Hose on -Your Face Just Smeii It Smokers do not have. to put tobacco in their pipes to find out if they like it. They can just rub the tobacco between the palms of their hands and smell it. The nose is an infallible guide to smok ing enjoyment." AIL smoking tobaccos employ some ? flavoring "to improve the flavour and burning qualities , of the v leaves", to quote the. Encyclopaedia Britannica. Naturally, there is considerable differ ence in the kind of flavorings used, and the nose quickly detects this difference. TUXEDO Tobacco uses .the purest, most wholesome, .and delicious of all flavorings chocolate. And the almost universal liking for chocolate in a great measure explains the widespread popu larity of TUXEDO Tobacco. Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco, plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance your nose can quickly distinguish from any other tobacco. Try it and. see.
