is intended must not only be good to look at, but it must
yield the maximum of service when in use.

That our displays aptly offer both features you will quick

Being unable to appear at a recent

the first opportunity he would pay a
visit to North Carolina and would In
clude Asheville in the cities he pro
posed to visit. He now writes that
he will be able to come Ticre about

to be set during the next few days.

At the meeting of the park com
mission General Carr read a letter
which he had received from Frank
Watson in which the latter urged that
action be taken to protect the trees
of Mount Mitchell. The lumbering
operations on the mountain, ho point-,
ed out, would be completed during the
next 12 months, and then it would
not be so difficult to prevent forest
fires as at present. The lire hazard
during the next year will be partlcu-1
