December 1, 1915, the new appointees take the Ladies Plan to Beautify Court Square and Town A number of ladies interested in changing the court square from a waste into a beauty spot and in beautifying the town generally have called a meeting: for Thurs day afternoon, 3 o'clock, in the Methodist church rooms, to which every lady of the town, married or single is cordially invited, and earnestly requested to attend. It is sincerely hoped that a large number will be there to lend a helping hand in a meritorious un dertaking too long deferred al ready. It is pointed out that the court square presents an opportunity for being made into a very at tractive place by flowers and shrubbery and sod, with perhaps an ornamental drinking fountain or two. And the streets of the town, which have been so great ly improved, could be made much more attractive by attention paid to the space between the gran olitic walks and the bitulithic. In short, it iswconsidered that a civic league composed of the women of Newton could do much toward making it what it could be a very pretty town indeed. So, all interested are asked to go to the Methodist church Thurs day afternoon.

United States troops are massed at the border and ready to take part if firing occurs into Ameri can territory. Villa is quite an gry with the United States and a conversation with him is thus re ported : "Auga Prieta will be mine," he asserted, Americans or no Americans. We may have to fight the whole American army if neccessarv. but no matter it will be ours." 'When?" he was asked. "I know," was the reply.

J. D. Andrew, president of Cataw ba college, president; W. B. Gaither of the Newton bar, vice president; Rev. E. O. Smithdeal, of Hickory, secretary-treasurer. These officers constitute an ex ecutive committee for the ap pointment of additional officers. The organization was launched under auspicious circumstances and it was believed that this time the effort would go". An or ganization was formed some years ago for similar purposes but after a time it was allowed to drop. A large number of interested nponlp attpnded and heard ad- l' r mirable talks by Secretary J.

Of these 102 men he found that their earning capacity was 71 ft better than that of the 552 who had received nothing more than a rural school education. These better trained men secured aver age labor incomes of 655 a year, or within $110 of twice as much as those who had'only a district school education. The above investigation may not be complete in every way, but it answers very well the question: "Is education worth while for the farmer?" It cer tainlv is. for it brinsrs in more profits. It has happened to me a num I ber of times, while trading at the mill or the store, that 1 was overcharged a dollar or more at n timp. I made it a habit for yrars to do my own figuring on every transaction, and whether thp mistake is in mv favor or against me, I make it known at once. In this way I have saved many a dollar of overcharge. know that every one is liable to make mistakes. But I'll tell you a way, boys, in which you can be rignt 100 times out of 100, and let the other fellow make the mistakes. I have observed that so many make mistakes while subtracting. Now if you will always add the answer to the number above it after sub tracting, you must get the first or highest number. It's a quick proof and you should do it every time. There are, of course, a number of men who had no opportunity when small to receive an educa tion, not even a rural school edu cation, and yet they have become honored and well-to-do. But re member, boys, those same men developed theirlminds in another wav. They read everything they could get in the line of their work, thev studied out many helpful plans, and so gradually rpreived that mental training tVisit thpv should have received KftV while young. Therefore do not despise the day of mental training, as it will be of great benefit to you even on the farm. New York.

A large section of Serbia is now in the hands of the invaders, says yesterday's review of the war in the Observer. The Aus- trians have penetrated Serbian territory on the Bosnian frontier and an Austrian column has ad vanced southward from Valjevo to Razana, while German force? , moving from the north and northeast have entered Milano vac. These places lie from 35 to 45 miles south of the Save river, indicating that the Austro-Ger-man advance has not been so slow as might be inferred from recent reports. In Southern Serbia, the strong fortress of Pierot, east of Nish, and guarding the war capital. has fallen to the Bulgarians. Still further south the Bulgari ans are reported to nae re captured Veles, at a cost of 25,- 000 men. Austrians and Germans are also moving againstKraguyevatz, in the north, the Serbian muni tions stronghold, and according to the Austrian official statement. the height Southwest of Lapowa, only a short distance from Kra- guyevatz, is in German hands.

"At the present demand for pig iron and for the various iines of steel is in excess of the pro ducing capacity of the furnaces and mills of the United States." reads a statesment issued by Judge Elbert H.

The manufacturers are unable to make deliveries entire ly satisfactory to the purchasers with respect to a large majority of the different kinds of finished steel- ' "There is nothing to indicate . that there will be a decrease m the demand for any of these products for some time.
