THE HOTEL PROPOSITION.
I want
to call the attention of ev
ery public spirited citizen of Tryon
to the present status of the proposed
hotel company which some ofus have
been trying to form for the purpose
of securing another hotel in Tryon.
E very one. who wishes to see Tryon
improve as a resort town willv agree
that the most necessary step is to se
cure additional hotel accommodations.
We cannot expect outside capital
ists to cora(e here and-invest their
money in n enetrprise of this kind
unless the get considerable support
from Tryon people. JTryon has "wait
ed for years for just such an oppor
tunity as ijs now presented to us
through Mjr. Brown's proposition' to
build a; fine, modern hotel on the old
Mimosa site, if the citizens would
join "with, him in the formation of the
company. Now.it looks as though
the opportunity will be lost through
the lack of j support of the plan. Two
weeks ago ft looked as though the ho
tel was an assured fact, so much so
that many people seem to think that
it will be fcuilt anyway, without their
support. The result, is that many
people whej could subscribe and wno
would be benefitted by the hotel being
hereare siltting back and doing noth
ing, each one thinking, apparently,
that whethier they do or do not sup-
port the proposition in a financial
way, will make no difference as to
whether the hotel is built or not.If
each one oi these was alone in his at
titude it would not make any differ
ence, but today there are so many
who are standing back, waiting for
the other fellow to pull the chv-tnuts
out of the lire, that it looks as though
there woul d be no chestnuts and no
hotel. - -
We want t& make a final appeal to
every citizon of Tryon to' get busy
and make it his or her business to see
that we secure the hotel. We must
have cooperation now. A week hence
will be too Slate and we shall have seen
the opportunity slip' from us.

AMERICAN' RED -CROSS
One of the erroneous impression
hat has got about concering the work
of the Red Cross! Home Service is
hat it is restricted to the disabled
Soldier of the United States. Soldier
sailor marine army nurse; it
doesn't matter in the least. Just so
you were in the service of Uncle Sam,
and because disabled in that service,
he Red Cross will help you to ob
tain the compensation and the hos
pital treatment and if you want it
the vocation training that the govern
ment offers.
In the Southern Division, for ex
ample, there are six nurses, their
lealth impaired by tuberculosis con-
race td or developed durirsg their ser
vice. All are now receiving the
regular compensation, in addition to
hospital treatment.
Any chapter of the Red Cross will
tell you about it; and where and now
o get medical treatment, if you need
it; and the proper money compensa-
ion; and the vocational education, if
you want it. '

Why I Put Up With Rats for Years,"
Writes N. Wirdsor, Farmer.
"Years ago I bought, some rat pois
on, which nearly killed our fine watch
dog. It so scared us that we suffered
a long time with rats until my neigh
bor told me about RAT-SNAP. That's
the sure rat killer and a safe one."
