It is talked about town that gold has been found in the north western part of the County. A gentleman walking through the woods, on "Bis farm in Hickory Mountain township, one day last week, picked up a small nugget whick resembled the' natural stuff, but whether it-was gold or not, he does rot know. There may be gold in Chat ham,, and there may be oil, but finding it is the question. There is plenty, of coal here and it is being mined daily by the Nor folk Southern at Cumrpck. Chatham has its quota of pret ty women; it has a fine body of men, or a body of fine men, whichever way suits you; it. has its woods full of all kinds of hardwood; it has its fertile fields of wheat, corn, cotton, etc., and why not gold and oil? Both will eventually.be found in the Coun ty ssme day. , Doctors treat you and. then make you pay for it. " President-elect Talks "Polices.

With a $50,000,000 bond issue for good roads practically as sured, the Legislature cannot afford to turn a deaf ear to the pleas, of the representatives of higher education.

" Many Disastrous Conflagrations Have Been the ResuSt of incidents of Most Trivial Character. There have been a number of cases lately of wpmen's frocks catching fire without any obvious cause. The mis chief has now. been traced to an "art. silk" which is really material pre pared during the war for the manu facture of cartridges. : Fires are started In all sorts of odd ways, A man '. had just taken his seat at dinner when his dress jacket . burst into flames. The solution was found In the fact that a" potash throat lozenge, loose in his pocket, had be come Ignited by pressure against the side . of a safety match box. A few years ago a rounded window In a chemist's shop at Scarborough focused the rays of the sun so that they set, fire to a celluloid box, while a fly was responsible for the destruc tion of a large house at Westport, in New Zealand. The insect flew into a gas jet, and, escaping with its wings ablaze, blundered into a muslin cur tain which at once burst into flames. Birds have been responsible for more than one conflagration. At Coverack, in Cornwall, a chimney in a farmhouse took fire. ' Out of it fluttered an owl with Its feathers burning. It settled on a hayrick, and the latter was completely destroyed. Rain falling on a truck of lime at Beccles Station caused a fire which destroyed the truck and its contents, and the string of a military kite fall ing' across overhead tramway wires and a wooden house caused the de struction of the latter. A strange case occurred In a wood near Grange over Sands. Red ants had constructed a huge hill in the roots of a splendid fir tree. Hot weather dried the heap, which was composed of vegetable matter. Then came warm rain and a return of heat. Chemical action resulted in spon taneous combustion, and the heap ig nited, setting fire to the tree and bringing it to the ground.

Red, therefore, is not a good color to choose when decorating the room of a "teenage" child, for, aside from its hot and heavy suggestion in summer, It overstimulates the already restless nature of the growing buy or girl.

Under Irrigation V it produces three crops a year. It sells for as much as $1,500 ojC $2,000 an acre: His cotton sold last year for $200 &' kan tar of 105 pounds weight.

In winter the fat glands are inactive' and to prevent chapping, the skin should be supplied with lubrication Too frequent wash ing should be avoided andthe skin dried very carefully. Tlien cold cream or olive oil should be rubbed into -the skin. Before retiringthe skin should receive the same treatment. l IM Colors Affect the Health. It is no longer a theory, but a proven. act, that certain colors produce cer tain desirable or extremely disastrous effects, even upon the' ordinarily sen sitive mind. Psychologists, eminent, physicians," and skilled decorators are making a keen study of this subject, and each year discloses some new and valuable truth.

Bonds of all kinds, Fidelity, Contract, Judicial and Official. d301y IS DURING the past month, reports have come to us that at farmers' meetings charges have been made, sometimes direcdy and sometimes indirecdy, that this Company has adopted a policy of refusing to supply repair parts for old machines in order to compel the purchase of new ones. This statement is absolutely false. Such a policy has never been considered by this Company nor suggested to it. Ordinarily we ignore such reports, because we have learned that any large company, no matter how fair and high principled, is subject at all times to unjust criticism. The facts are this Company has always recognized the importance of repair service and has used every eSort to make IHC service the best. We believe we can truthfully say that the repair service furnished wherever this Company's goods are sold is equal if not superior to that furnished on any manufactured line. We call attention to the fact that machinery "Fix-up Weeks, instead of being something new and originated by the farmers in 1921, as some seem to think, were really an outgrowth of the movement started by manufacturers and dealers . associations in connection with the Council of National Defense as a war con- . ' servation measure. Perhaps no other agency has done so much to promote ' "National Repair "Weeks as this Company. The farmer needs machines which wilfbe efficient and economical. If his old machines can be repaired so as to render efficient and economical service, he , would be foolish to purchase new ones. Whether the farmer utilizes and repairs his old machines or buys new ones is a question for him to determine. But in ' . making his decision, we give to every farmer who owns any IHC machines the assurance that a full stock xi repair parts will always be provided by this Company. ; - " Today, our repair stocks on the territory available for the farmers are 21 per cent greater than ever before at this time of the year. An average of a quarter million pounds of repairs are shipped from IHC factories for every working day in the year. Thirty million dollars' worth of repair parts are now ready, a3 , insurance for the farmer when he needs this service. In every International Harvester Works manufacturing orders call for repair parts first and even when furnishing them has meant cutting down production - of new machines for which we hadorders, repairs have, always had preference. At every one of our 91 branch houses trained men are on duty to see that all orders are filled and shipped prompdy. Thousands of dealers scattered every where with an assortment of repairs in stock are always ready and willing to ' " render every assistance. ' ' ' v. This service which this Company has rendered through the years to those who have purchased its machines has been a matter of great pride to the Company, and is the foundation of the cordial good-will existing between it and its customers. We feel it is due the Company and those who have purchased its machines that we give the widest publicity to the fact that this service of repairs will be maintained and improved, and that any charges to the contrary are untrue.
