Representative GodwI.i has re ceived a letter from Secretary of Ag riculture Houston with reference to the amount of nitrate soda. HAAff In this country for the manufacture of munitions or war and the amount used for fertilizer. Mr, Godwin took the question up with Mr. Houston because of a statement of one of his constituents that the price of fertlllz tr would La raised to a prohibitive price this year and asked that an In vcstigatlon be started. Mr. Houston s&lrii "T n nnrmal times nearly one half of the nitrate ef soda Imported Into this country ha been ued In the manufacture of munitions; only about It per cent have been used for agricultural pur poses, inder the present conditions, of course, a considerably lArror min. tlty of nitrate of soda la hln for munitions as it Is the principal source of nitric acid.

TEN MILES BUILT. J. E. Coburn, K. E3. Bennett, W. W. Wheeler and Wiley Morrow of Dry son City spent the week end In Ashsvllle, returning home today. This morning Mr. Bennett told a Times representative that Swain county expects to have thirty-five irlles of graded roads by the first of Heptenv ber. Later macadam or gravel will be placed on this link of the Asheville Atlanta hlKhway. Ten miles of the road have been built 24 feet wide and the rest Is II fset. The Bwaln highway touches Jackson county at Whlttler and at Cherokee; from there the road runs to the Shallow ford In Macon county. West of Bryson the road Is belna worked from Dollnrt's mill toward Almond. At this point there will ttn a concrete bridge 2 td feet long. A ISO foot bridge will span the Oean Lufty and alone Alarka creek there will be another four span brtdge and six slna-ls span bridges. A. M. Bennett, Prank E. Frye, A L. Epps. A. fl. Patterson and J. K. Coburn are the road commissioners named to supervise the highway. Reed and Wells of Ashavllls have contra ota for part of th construc tion work. A rock rrushsr, a steam roller and other equipment has been purchased. All grades most under th contracts b under f H per cent: and as ftwaln la rather mountainous this require ment make th work rather difficult In som places. Messrs. Wheeler and Morrow Will maks th return trip In a new auto mnlill bought while they were In th city. By reason of Improved rnsds this trip can now b mad In three - - 71 epoch making spectacle, "The Birth of a Nation." Griffith understands the force of con trast in art as well as every other de tail of this fascinating form of expres sion which he has made famous. In the three youthful stars of his master piece he has the satisfaction of seeing his work carried out triumphantly by three girls who have been trained un der his guiding direction. Mae Marsh has that cltin and elusive quality which her Irish ancestry bestowed MAY BE ORGANIZED AT LATER DATE Smoky Mountain Land Owners Endorse Ideas for Forest Protection. Timber owners In the Smoky moun tain legion and representatives of the United States Forest service met at the Iangren hotel today to consult with State Forester 3. 8. Holmes in regard to the formation of a forest protection association for that belt of the hard wood and spruce section of North Car olina. Permanent organization was postponed until a date to be named later. The various companies, by repre sentatives of by letter, expressed the desire to give more attention to forest conservation under the direction of the state or of the federal department. The companies who own lands In this territory and who have been heard from In regard to better forest meth ods ar the William Kltter Lumber company, Graham County Lumber company, E. Wood Lumber company, Norwood Lumber company, Champion Lumber company and a delegate from th Cherokee nation which owns large tracts of timber land In Swain county, ltltllKlllt(tltStlll!ltK H II t ADDITIONAL SOCIAL ft ft ft ftftftftftftftHftRftftftftftftftftft Rcctofe Aid Meeting.

Otlla Orn returned to th city to day after belnr out of town for the MIRIAM COOPER, upon her. Griffith brings It out in striking effectiveness In his world fa mous work. Miss Marsh is red headed and clever far beyond the reach of het eighteen years. Lillian Glsh Is pronounced the finest type of blond on the motion picture screen in America, She has been in the movies now for several years, begin ning under Griffith's direction when a mere schoolgirl. She has played a world of parts and is known as well as Miss Marsh, who Is beloved of millions as the Maude Adams tf the motion pictures. These two girls between them earn over $1,500 a week and' have contracts with the big producing firms in film land, which means they earn these sal aries for fifty-two weeks in every year. Miriam Cooper is the newest member of the trio and has only been in pic tures about a year now. She has como forward steadily, and her work in "The Birth of a Nation" has enhanced her earning capacity. Miss Cooper is the southern type. She is willowy and lan guid and a pronounced brunette, mak ing a complete contrast to the brilliant shock of Mne Marsh's red hair and the golden blonde of Lillian Glsh. BANKS TO OBSERVE WASHINGTON'S BIRTHD'Y All the bank of the city will be closed all day Tuesday, It being Wash Ington's birthday.

QiWiaOnAgin nU(miJDJV:GlLULAN The Unnter's Joy The banting season' on us, just as sure as you're alive; The quail is hunting cover all the while. While the cotton-tall is hiding out and listening to the drive A-crouchlng in his little old brush-pile. And the Joy we get from hunting isn't shooting something no! Isn't harking to the yelling. shooting row! 1 It Is living in the open, 'mid the breezes' ebb and flow. And wondering "what the dogs are after now! " It's the gambling instinct In us that is gratified by this It's the hazard that perhaps it is , a cat, . And as equally perhaps it is a fox it's simply bliss To feel the joyous thrill we get from that. The bag we bring at night-time's not the gauge of our success; The sweetest meed of all is this, I vow: Just wading 'round in beggar-llce-and-Spanish-needle mess And wondering "what the dogs are after now!" Flnnigin Filosofy Th' greatest mysthery av th' age Is how some people kin wurrk at th' same simple job f'r fifty years an niver learrn how t' do ut right. Another Anatomical Puzzle I'm searching Gray's Anatomy Io vain, I am afraid. "Our police chief," the paper says,' Was "wounded in the raid." . Getting Better "Are you improving any in your dancing?" "Yes. The lady teacher says I'm much lighter on .her feet than used to be." Then Death Came To His Relief "Do you suppose " began the Cheerful Idiot. "Nobody here supposes anything get me?" growled the Dangerous Boarder, in a voice that should have been sufficient warning. "Do yon suppose," he went on, recklessly, "that the high price of butter in Germany had anything to do with their falling out with Greece?" Two Of Them "The financial acumen of you hankers," sneered the depositor who was forbidden to cash his large check, "is considerably over drawn." "So is your checking account," calmly replied the polite paying teller. Location Of Boils The main difficulty about a boil is to find a satisfactory location for one. We have never been so fortunate as to possess a boll with whose site we were thoroughly pleased. It was always in the very worst place it could have been. We have had them on our face, on the back of our neck, on our pulse, on our forearm, and else where. Even elsewhere Is not satis factory. We can always believe that if it had been placed just three Inches further in any direction, it would have pleased us much better. Once we had one on our forefin ger, two inches from the end. If that one had been three Inches further east when we were headed toward the rising sun, we should have been happy. For then it would not have been on our person at all. We have often seen holla located so as not to disturb us in the least But they were on someone else. We do not know why, but near ly everybody-who has a plain boil Is anxious to find someone by which to prove that "it isn't a boil it's a carbuncle." Why Is a carbuncle any more aristocratic than a boll? We pause for a reply. "Full many a gem of purest ray se rene The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean bear. Full many a boll is bora to blush unseen And waste Its sweetness on most anywhere." The worst possible clace a boil could be Is wherever your latest one is located.
