GOOD MARKET EXISTS FOR DOGWOOD TIMBER Raleigh, N. C., April 30. Dog wood furnishes ideal timber for the manufacture of loom shuttles, spool heads and numerous other similar articles. On account of the texture of the wood, it retains its shape and size with no shrink or swell after being thoroughly cured. "We are finding that dogwood is in good demand and finds a ready sale at the present time," says R. W. Graeber, extension forester at State College. "During the last two years, farmers of Iredell county have marketed more than $30,000 worth of this timber. This is in contrast to the usual idea that the dogwood is a worthless tree and should be destroyed. Two years ago F. F. Parry and Bert Hyder locat ed a dogwood mill in the Sharps burg township where 300 cords of the timber was harvested. About the same time, O. B. Jernigan located a mill at Harmony, buying wood from the farmers o'f the section. Both of these mills have now been established 'at and are buying timber over a wider range of territory. These mills buy dog wood from farmers for cash and take any amount that is hauled to them." Mr. Graeber states that in the past laany farmers have been inclined to destroy the dogwood trees as a worthless crop. Yet the young growth fits in well with other tim ber, making a good understory in stands of second-growth pines, and helps to fill in the openings in mix ed stands of hardwood. It will grow to merchantable size quickly as any other timber and thus adds to the re turns from the land. The trees may be marketed at good prices after they reach a size of five inches in diameter and like other timber, the larger the size, the more profitable the harvest, states Mr. Graeber. Landowners, therefore, are being urged to preserve the young growth now found widely over the state. * THE OLD HOME * * * * (Mrs. C. M.

"KiH-the-Blues" Cope, Humorous Lecturer, Coming Herbert Leon Cope to Speak at Redpath Tent. The announcement that "Kill-tlie- Blues" Cope is to lecture here on the fourth night of Redpath Week is good news for this community, for, as liis sobriquet denotes, Mr. Cope is calcu lated to do to the death any case of "blues" which may cross his path. The title of "Kill-the-Blues" at tached itself to Herbert Leon Cope during the war, while as a lecturer- entertainer he was making an army laugh. More than a million soldiers and marines were brightened by his bubbling humor and good cheer. He HERBERT LEON COPE was a bright spot in their camp life. He chased away the gloom—and the doughboys nicknamed him "Kill-the- Blues." Mr. Cope is one of the best-known humorists on the lecture platform to day. And not only a humorist, but a kindly philosopher as well. There is a sermon in his every sentence —yet no one suspects him of preaching. He simply rellects the sunshine of life and spreads his gospel of healthy laughter. "There is one .Cope and he is un classified," says «nn eastern newspaper editor. "An attempt to analyze hi* melange of fun, la:icy and fact would make a writer a i'.i" subject for the sanitarium or asylum. He created more real mirth to the square im-h than any man who has visited us in years." DCever » a road too long for . the ALy AMERI Wherever you go.
