What I Saw in Tryon. On June 7 it was my privilege to ramble jtbout the Town of Tryon and immediate vicinity. As I went to and fro, through the highways and byways I thought many times of the splen did paper read by Mrs. - Peattie before the banquet of the Board of Trade of Tryon, given at Oak Hall, the title of which was the "Town Beautiful."" She began in the town, but went out all over the county before she finished with her pleas, for home and highway beautifying. What did I see in Tryon? What did I see in Tryon ? - I saw many beautiful and well kept lawns about the homes. I saw some freshly nointpH Vinmps T saw ntripotc and roads winding through the hilts. I saw men digging up the , small old water mains and put ting in their place greater ones. I saw them windening and grad ing down the streets preparatory to a hard surf ace. I saw men and women hustling about and on inquiring learned thev were vuuug uii x uuim issue ui pov,-u 000 for public schoool improve ment which I was. told Was for Public School improvement, which carried 183 for ta8 against. All this looks mighty good; but while seeing all these , good things and :many moref; Icould not close my eyes against some things not so comely. For in stance I saw on otherwise beau tiful premises, old dilapidated carts, wagons and buggies in the back ground, others had old box es, barrels and crates scattered promiscuously about. And still others had old dilapidated wood and iron fences in front grown up with briars and bushes. Still others were reasonably well kept on the inside; but scrub pine, briars and weeds outside on the WtJ 1 1 iwu uauK.3. I drove out to the cemetery to see what attitude the living had toward their dead friends tand relatives; and I hate to tell what I saw and especially what I f ef t. In all candor the cemetery does not look Tryonish. There are many massive pieces of marble -and granite, and some beautiful shafts and tomb stones that mark the resting place of the dead which do credit to the living, but the unkept and - neglected con dition of the grounds is a sad commentary on the custodians of the same. As I passed . through from place to place, I really felt scared of a snake bite of some poisonous reptile that might be laying in wait for a victim; and at other points it occured to me that a bear might get me if I entered those regions. Now don't anybody in Tryon fly up mto the air over what I have written; just go around about in Tryon and over to the cemetery and keep your eyes open as you go and see for your selves. Now this is a criticism of the very friendliest nature, and I suggest that the Mavor. the Prs of. the Board Lio.vtc; yjt. airing vwwi agency that has the beauty . and good of Tryon at heart, call for 0r set apart a real clean up day and ask every home in Tryon to operate in the forenoon ' in yeaning up and beautifying the me and church " lots; and all together spend the p. m. clean- mg up the cemetery : .or by joint subscription or otherwise see to 7 that by some plan "it shali be done. , The Only What To Do Just Now. ' Did, you ever read, the little book 'Tigs is Pigsr If not you have missed many a hearty laugh. It is true that "pigs is pigs" in a sense; and in another sense there are many kinds of pigs. - Now some folks may think "eggs is eggs" and sure enough they are eggs, but as in case of the pigs, there is a great variety in eggs. Even those produced the same day have a widespread in value when it comes to the table test. If you don't believe so; buy a "mess" of eggs where the hens have been fed on ramps, garlic and onions, and allowed to range in the hog pen and every form of 'slum conditions about the premises, and then purchase a lot of infertile eggs that have been produced by hens that have been confined and fed approved selected feeds for prop er egg production and prepare them for use and compare flavor. Again take a lot of fertile eggs and let them lay m a hot pantry or almost any average place about the house then take a lot of infertile eggs eggs and keep them in a nice place about the house and prepare them for the table and sample each lot and see if "eggs is eggs" of course "eggs is eggs" that is they all haye anrside- and; an - outside separated by the shell, but there is a tremendous difference in the quality when it comes to eating them, and often in the smell when the shell is fractured. Now the honest and innocent consumer does not want to pay well-earned 'cash for stale and bad flavored eggs. So if. the farmer desires to please his customers and obtain good prices for his eggs, he must produce and put on the market clean, fresh eggs of good quality, whicm will always have a good flavor. To insure this the eggs should be infertile during the hot summer weather. In order to produce infertile eggs, as soon as the breeding season is over, seperate the hens from the roosters. If the roosters are not of superior quality either put them on the market at any price or fatten him as meat in the, home and purchase a better for next year. So swat the roosters and produce the infertile egg and please the customers. Also swat the house fly, screen the doors and win dows, keep tanglefoot where they will get their feet on it in stead of the things prepared for food and save doctor bills. A good substitute for tanglefoot may be made from flour and mo lases properly mixed and put where the fly will get to it. Of course there a thousand and one things that should be looked af ter just now; but swatting the rooster and the house fly are the two of great importance. .

" Because .there has been an in crease in the number of deaths due to diphtheria within the last three years from 242 in 1919 to 286 in. 1920 and 365., in 1921, an appeal is being sent out by the A Live Clean Paper for the Home June, 15, 1922 TOURNAMENT N. C. State Board of Health to every physician in the State and to the mothers in many sections, by letter and through the press, to begin immediately to take steps to lower the death rate from diphtheria and croup. There has been a gradual in crease in the number of deaths from diphtheria and croup in the registration : area the -last few years' but that should be no con solation to the'phjrsicians and public who have placed their State from: the one that had about the highest death rate from typhiocl in the South to al most the lowest. The number of children that will die from this disease in 1922 depends upon the promptness of parents in calling doctors in sus pected cases of sore throat, the immediate administration of suf ficient doses of antitoxin, the early reporting of cases and strict observance of " quarantine. - However, t h e best measure to control the disease is to give every child between1 six mo nths and six years three doses of toxin-antitoxin. As it takes several c auto CAffrEa SE&yjcgJ months for the effects of this treatment to be established, now is the time for the mothers and doctors to act. Very truly, ' . E. B. Cawthray, Quarantine Officer. Town and Farmers What does your town do for the farmers who trade jn it?, We know of one village it has only 400 people where ther e had been complaints that 'far mers were sending theirmoney away to mail . order houses and the1 merchants decided 6 Icreate a mpre friendly feeling between tne villagers and therstnToxmJ- ing farmers. 1 They found many things could be done. ' The first achievment was plenty of hitching posts for teams and places to park cars. They even went one step farther and provided sheds for cars and machines. ... Again; it was found that far mers of ten have to wait in town for repairs and for other reasons." A room 12 by 14, right on the main street, in an unused build lng, was fitted up simply with tables and chairs and rest room facilities, and now that room is filled most of the day with far mers' wives and their children, who have at last just what they have wanted for years That room is used so much that it will soon have to be enlarged. But one good thing usually leads to another. The farmers began to have definite friendly feeling for the little village. Here was service without any thought of immediate returns. Mail orders for goods began to fall off a little.. . Then the business men of the village decided to have a meet meeting and ask the farmers in in to talk things over. Lunch eon and hot coffee was served, There were no set speeches. The villagers said they wanted to meet the farmers on the' basis of genuine friendship. The far mers were treated with the ut most cordiality. There, was no condesention shown. J u s t a friendly basis df cordiality. I hen someone suggested the forming a community club, vil lagers and farmers all working together. The idea was imme diately accepted. In a short time a community house was built. It proved "remarkably easy to get the funds. The far mers contributed and there - was a fine get-together feeling all around. There will be - movies in ithat little community eouse. Dances will be held in it. Neighbors will visit and children will play together there. 1 The farmer comes to town now ana ne is H . 9 m. .mm - mm -- ' greeted witn a inendly smile on every corner. And the villagers say the farmers are the finest people in the world And i. the farmers are warming up a tittle everyday. Price 5 Cents ' $2.00 a Year WiM Spring lp .; ,; -A. M.
