Blankenship, claiming to be a resi dent of Asheville, has been captured in Erwin, Tenn. The warrant for the man's arrest was issued in Marion and taken to Erwin where the fellow was lodged in jail. Mr. and "Mrs. Lyda decided that they would like to go after the thief. On their anrival in Erwin, a large crowd was gathered at the sta tion to learn of the trouble. They were accompanied to the recorder's office the courthouse, and Blank enship was brought in to talk with .them in -regard to the trouble. He 'claimed that he was very sorry that it had happened, bub that he had done wrong by taking "the suitcase,: Blankenship was asked if he was' willing to pay all expenses of the wild-goose chase, and drop the mat ter. This he agreed to do, but stated that he had no money, al though he could go to his friend or brother in Asheville and secure the amount. But he preferred giving a check on the Central Bank and Trust Company, of Asheville. The teach ers told him that hey djd not care to take a check from a man who practiced stealing suitcases. Finally an agreement was reached to go to Asheville after the amount. This plan only worked well for the thief to Marion. A telegram had Sheriff Nichols at Clinchcross Sta tion to take charge of the prisoner" Upon arriving at Marion, the man was turned over to the sheriff at that place and taken to Magistrate Rat liff's office where he was given a trial. As Blankenship could not give bond for $500 he was taken to Morganton and placed in jail, where he will be held till the September term of court convenes.

Mr. Wren after running the hotel this summer was so pleased with Hendersonville and optimistic of its future that he de cided to continue his residence here and succeeded in acquiring a lease which will allow him to continue the management of the hotel.

It will be remembered, by readers of The Times, that wide awake farm ers of the Mills River section started a milk depot in the city after finding it practically impossible to deliver profitably direct from the farm to the consumer. Now we find the Mills River' Dairy still on the job and go ing strong, and according to a state ment given to a representative of this paper the dairy will shortly be equip ked with cement floors and other conveniences for the proper hand ling of milk. It was stated at the office of this concern that equipment would also' be in stalled for converting surplus cream and milk into ice cream in the pure state and that this is being done now on a small scale. Gaither Rhodes, Frank Cathey and Floyd Osborne are the owners of the business and expect to have it expand to the point of taking care of the bulk of the milk consumed in the city. They think more attention should be paid to facilities for hand ling milk in order that the consumer may receive the product in the best possible condition. BULL MOOSE'S UNHAPPY FATE Imprisoned in Ice, Wounded Animal Is Supposed to Have Succumbed . to the Cold. Dead on his feet with all four legs Imprisoned In the Ice that seajs the surface of Brandy brook, a large bull moose was found by a St. John man while be was hunting rabbits along the Brandy brook about six miles from St, John. When he first came upon him the great animal was standing In such .pasltioji.J8Jtpcaji8fi.Jiie. hunter to believe that the moose was alive. On Investigation, however, he dlscoveFed that the moose was dead. It is sup posed that some time ago, while the Ice on the brook was still thin, the moose had been shot at and wounded but not badly enough to prevent his running. He probably attempted to cross the brook and broke through the Ice, and because of his Injuries wae unable to extricate himself from this position and subsequently perished standing up. Up to his belly the ani mal's legs were encased In the Ice. He was found near a deep part of the brook called Soldier hole, In which It is said a soldier, who. fend run away from St. John, was 'drowned about thirty-five years ago. Exchange. America Leads In Telephones. The extent to which the people use the telephone, as measured by the num ber of calls per person during the year, is a reliable Index of the telephone de velopment of a country. For the United States, the average number of calls made during 1020 per person was 172. Of all-the European countries, Den mark comes first with 120 talks per person. For Germany the number la 58, for Switzerland, 30, for Great Brit ain 19, for France J8, and for Belgium 10. It is interesting and significant that In Denmark about 95 per cent of all the telephones are now operated un der private ownership, while in the other European countries' mentioned the service Is operated by the govern ment.

The farmers of this county are planning a wheat acreage smaller than has been planted in this county for 25 years, according to indica tions, so stated one of our best posted citizens when approached by a rep resentative of The Times. Bad weather and small yield Dei- acre for several years past seems to be the chief reason for this cur tailment. It was pointed out, how ever, that this might not prove a profitable time for such drastic re duction in the acreage since if is hardly likely that next year will prove as unfavorable to the crop as the past few years have been. It is noted that by referring to the aver age heavy yields that about one year in three or four can be counted on to produce good crops, and since the ugnt yields for the past three years have been primarily due to weather conditions the chances are very much in favor of a good yield next year, according to our informant. The farmers will likely figure on these conditions before the fall is over, and should favorable fall sea son present itself it is not improbable, according to some, that much more grain, both of wheat and rye will be sown than these opinions indicate. PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSN. The Parent-Teachers' Association met Tuesday night as usual at the High School Building, and though but few were present they discussed plans for the current school year, and also the matter of the projected Chatauqua for next summer.

The Rev Mr. Swanman, who was to give an address, consented to de liver it at the October meeting in stead, when a large attendance is ex pected. He gave a short talk, how ever, commending the activities of the association, and expressing him self as deeply interested in its ideals and plans. - , ... CHURCH SERVICES Rev. William Way, D.

Apropos of the death of Sir William Harcourt, who bad long outlived the intense unpopularity of his early years, Sir David Hunter Blair says that at the time of his passing It seemed almost legendary to recall how three members of parliament had once resolved to invite to dinner the Indi vidual they disliked most In the world. Covers were laid for six ; but only one guest turned up Sir William Vernon Harcourt, who had been in vited by all three. Cubans Honor British Admiral.

WHEN MR. SIMPKINS LAUGHED Of Course He Was Henpecked, but He Made No Contribution to Train Robbers. Slmpklns was henpecked. Mrs. Slmpkins "wore the trousers," spanked the children and paid the preacher. Neighbor Smith was quite another sort of person. In his domicile, Smith was lord and master, and he got away with It, too. It was a pet Joke of his to refer to his friend Slmpklns as "Mrs. Slmpkins' husband." A browbeaten, subdued wife Invari ably comes In for general sympathy, but scorn and derision Is ever the un happy lot of the poor, henpecked hub by. However, every dog hath his day, and Slmpklns' came at last. One day the two families boarded the train for an excursion together. When a few .miles on their Journey, the passengers were startled by the aharp command: "Hands up!" Two masked bandits stood at the rear of the conch. "Passengers will file past us and hand over their pocketbooks," directed a gruff voice behind one of the masks. Smith's otherwise aggressive face went gray. Women fainted and little When all was over Smith looked at Slmpklns. Simpklns the shrinking, fljmpkfhy tneWrbteftragfo -til" say. was as cool and calm as Baffin land bay in January. And he actual ly smiled. "Heavens: What are you grinning about?" demanded Smith in a thick voice. "Man. I've lost $500!" "I'm out $1.05 and a stamp book," said Simpklns. "You see. the wife had our roll In her stocking." Prize Story In Judge. FAMOUS IN IRISH HISTORY King Roderick Sometimes Referred To as the Last of the Mon arch of the Island. Rory O'Connor bears a name fa mous In Irish history. His most noted namesake was king of Ireland. When he became king of Connaught in 1156 one of his first acts was to put out the eyes of one of his brothers as a sure means of preventing him from becoming a rival. In 1166 he went to Dublin, gave the Danes, who were In possession. 4,000 cows, and was there Inaugurated king of all Ireland, a ceremony which was the first Irish regal pageant of which the city was the scene. Rulers were placed over various counties and provinces, and some of these were far from popular. The people of Meath deposed their king, for which affront O'Connor re ceived compensation of 240 cows. Henry II of England visited Ire land In 1171, and O'Connor's terri tory becsue disputed, hut after a treaty concluded at Windsor he was left to rule Connaught as before the English Invasion, and was to be head under Henry of the kings and chiefs of Ireland. He was to acknowledge c i ..n.CU6W Henry as his liege lord and to pay him an annual tribute of hides. Fight ing with Henry and with his sons con tinued until Roderick's death In the abbey of Cong, County Galway. He Is commonly spoken of as the last na tive king of Ireland, but this distinc tion belongs rather to Maelsechlainn I, as Roderick's title to rule the whole Island was no better than that of Henry II both resting on force alone.

In one of the most exciting c-ames fever witnessed in Hendersdnville, the posters took the first game of the feost-seson series Thursday afternoon by the score of 5 to 4. They were snatched against the SkvlnnH winners of the pennant. The game was interesting from start to finish and at times it was my bodies guess as to which side vould be victorious. It was evident, mwever, that the Boosters were : ianaing pat on their determination ;o take the lead and put the Sky landers on the deffensive. They i icored two runs in the first and one nach in the second and third. This ooked like a safe lead but in the : 'ourth Cashion found the ball for a tome run and it was only too lucky or the Boosters that no men were m base. After this nothing exciting hap pened until the seventh when the J Skylanders were more fortunate in 1 laving the bags full and still more : 'ortunate at this time in having fashion once more take the stick. It vas a serious moment for the Boost srs and proved to be well nigh a Waterloo for Cashion sent out a ball Which netted him two bags and tied the score. The Boosters stood pat, however, and did not lose their heads and when the end of the 7th f ame around they were again in the ead by one run after Patterson and Austin made doubles in succession. Both teams tried hard to increase their score after this inning but to no avail and at the end of the ninth the score of 5 to 4 stood. The Hendersonville fans were mighty proud of their team and did not fail to show it. The teams play in Asheville to day and tomorrow at Oates Park and return to Hendersonville Monday. After Monday they will alternate for the rest of the series. E. Smith pitched for the Skyland- ers in Thursday's game. His place wl11 be tak?n K Jerry Jackson iri the game this afternoon, while the Vocational Training Committee Appointed A Hendersonville committee, with Dr. J. S.

Miss Weaver, the public health nurse for Henderson county, aided in the formation of the work. H. L. Stanton, State supervisor of industrial rehabilitation, came to Hendersonville to get the work started. He stated that 16 other North Carolina counties now had committees, and that some 100 per sons, incapaciated in civilian life, were taking vocational training and that about 10 or 12, since the work was instituted, had become rehabili tated. In the operation of the service the state is co-operating with the federal government. WEEVILS IN CORN The farmers of Western North Carolina are experiencing consider able trouble this year with corn weevils. This is the first time in many years that this pest has made itseif felt in this altitude. Below the mountains there is al ways more or less trouble with weevil infestation, but as a general ruie in this section little annoyance is en tered. It looks like the farmer ,;tv,t Ms n nan us iuu naving iu vlaJ " never satisfied appetites. Considerable care will have to be taken this fall to prevent a reoc of the Dests.
