It is in an angle formed by the Seaboard and Southern Railroads, and will have access to both of these roads, since one road will be on one side of the building, and the other on the opposite side. The building is a wooden frame building, 40 by 80 feet, "of 1500 bush el capacity. It was ready to re ceive this fall's crop of potatoes and is now closed for the season. O. J.

HOME BURNS THURSDAY A residence occupied by Mr. T. T. Whisnant and owned by Mr. Johnny May, on the outskirts of town, near the overhead bridge, burned Thurs day morning about ten o'clock. The fire originated in the smoke-house and the home caught from the burn ing outbuilding. The flames were first noticed by Mr. J. K. Blanton, who was passing. He ran to the house, broke open the door and carried out a lot of the household furniture. None of Mr. Whisnant's family were at home, all being away visiting in Gastonia. The total loss is something like $2,000. No insurance was carried by either Mr. Whisnant or Mr May. NUTS ARE PACKED WITH RICH FOOD Raleigh, Nov. 28. —Nuts which are produced in rather large abundance in North Carolina are excellent as food material although the food is somewhat concentrated and not toe many of the meats should be consum ed at any one time. ' "Nuts, like cheese, is the last word in concentrated nourishment," says Miss Maude E. Wallace, assistant state home demonstration agent at State College." While children maj crave candies and sweets, the Tine rich flavor' of the nut, eaten plain or improved with salt, should prove most alluring. But not too much of this food must be eaten at any one tine and it must be well masticated 01 there may be digestive troubles." There are several kinds of nuts found in North Carolina. Peanuts are abundant and there are good quanti ties of pecans, black walnuts, chest nuts and hickory nuts. The peanut is high in nutritive value, states Miss Wallace, containing 30 percent of fat or oil. The pecan contains over 3c percent of vegetable oil and the wal nut about 15 percent. Each of these nuts contain muci of the body building protein. The peanut ranks highest with the black walnut second. But there is anothei claim for food value that these ma terials have aside from the fat anc protein. All nuts have a high contenl of lime and iron which is essential ir the formation of blood, teeth anc bone. The pecan, chestnut and wal nut are noted for their iron contenl while the almond leads in lime. Now that time for the harvest OJ nuts has arrived, Miss Wallace state: they should be gathered and use* in various dishes. Nut bread, peanu loaf and salted nuts are three ex cellent dishes. The product may b used in many other ways to add in terest and flavor as well as nutritivi value to the meal. Nuts with a sala of fruits and vegetables are appe tizing or they may be served wit fruit and raisins as dessert. They ma; I also be used as a side dish or put int bread, cakes and sandwiches wher they will be consumed with relish.
