Buys Car, Gets $450 For Dime Under Seat Of all the millions of people who ' have bought used ears from Chevrolet dealers, probably few arc so well satisfied wilh their purchase as Roy Koontz, of Bloomington, Ind., who iccently bought a used car for $150. from the University Chevrolet comj-any of that city. After getting his car home, he happened to find a dime that had fallen down behind the seat cushion. Koontz was only mildly pleased by I his lucky find, but his interest picked up when he noticed that the coir, was dated 1821. That was a bit unusual. A friend of his happened to be somewhat of a coin specialand he mentioned the fact to him. The payoff came when the speciali-it, after a bit of investigation, informed him that the coin had a rare coin market value of $450. So now Mr. Koontz is firmly convinced that Chevrolet dealers truly offer more for your money. Dr. McDonald Confined! Tc Tubercular Hospital Dr. Ralph YV.

Leafy crops \ such as leabbage, lettuce, and kale ^ will require more nitrogen than most ether vegetablee crops but this extra j r mount can be supplied in the form ^ of side applications of readily avail- j able nitrogen fertilizers.

ANSWER: This, in all probability is Caused by improper feeding such ' is over-feeding, feeding out of dirty ( pails or boxes, irregular feeding, or feeding milk too rich in fat and it is nuch easier to prevent than to cure. < All calves showing symptoms of the 1 trouble should be isolated and the nilk feed reduced one-half. If i egume hay is being fed, replace this ^ with grass hay. A dose of from one < o three tablespoonfuls of castor oil, \ nixed with a pint of fresh milk < ihould then be given. After the t iction of the oil, give a teaspoonful >f a mixture composed of one part alol and two parts of subnitrate of J >ismuth and bicarbonate of soda. I This dose can be repeated until the I liarrhea is stopped.

Brooks and McClure ti Carolina T1 ndian Legend Uncovered By FWP Writers A Cherokee legend concerning the rigin of the balds, those treeless ;rassy mountain tops of the Southrn Appalachians, has been uncoverd by the Federal Writers project at Vsheville. Ages ago, according to the legend >n the shores of the Little Tennessee iver near Nikwasi (now Franklin) in awful beast with widespread wings md beady eges plunged suddenly rom the sky, seized and carried away i child at play. Such raids were repeated elsewhere, and terror grew among the seoplc so that they cleared the mounain tops for lookouts. The den of he marauder was finally located on he south slope of a peak, the legend roes, inaccessible even to the most launtless hunter. In answer to a ferent supplication the Great Spirit ent thunder and lightning against he monster and destroyed it. and ever ifter mountain tops have been bald o serve as lookouts against the reurn of the creature. Standing Indian, on the Appala. h an trail between Highway U. S. b 1 ;nd the Georgia state line, about l.~> niles southwest of Franklin, receivd its name in the same catastrophe. \ warrior stationed there fled when he destroying bolt flashed from the ky, deserting his post, according to he legend, and for this defection he MCTURESQUE HERM DOESN'T KNOW > SPARTANBURG, S.

Many years ago, when timber was coming down the then-important Broad River for the cotton mills which were a new thing in those days Green was a logger. But, he said, "I took a likin' to tht country. I wanted a quiet secluded place where I could work and study.' His work consists of a little watchmaking. The only study he could, 01 would, recall was a national periodical. Yet he amazed newspaper interviewers with his knowledge of mediral developments, electricity, and na;ional and international affairs.

Townson Da] Funeral Direc Ambulai Murphy, : hrursday, March 25, 1937 was turned into stone and still appears a dismal figure at eternal vigil. Science has not yet satisfactorily accounted for the presence of these nir untair. meadows that are among the charms of the Southern Appalachians. Dr. B. W. Wells, of North j Carolina State College, Raleigh, while | believing the "riddle of the balds" is ! yet unsolved, thinks that fire eliminated the original forests and made way for the grasses, for which con; ditions were so favorable that once i they obtained a fast hold they were : able to choke out tree-seedlings. Another Cherokee legend concernI ing the balds, according to the FWP, is about a giant hornet, the ulagu, which devoured little children. When, after great difficulties, he was slain, the Great Spirit decreed that in future the tops of some mountains should be free of trees so that the Indians could keep a lookout against visitations of another monster. o Enlistments In U.
