C.ORREZE
Where Chesnuts Come From.
Washington, Sept. 6. Correze, anoth
er "place where the nuts come from,"
is the subject of a National Geographic
Society bulletin in connection with the
reported anxiety of that Department
of France because a schedule in the
new tariff doubles the duty on chest
nuts. "A region of chestnuts, walnuts and
cider apples may suggest a land of per
petual hallowe'en," continues the bul
letin. "But,, in reality, the Depart
ment of Correze in south central France
is a place where the struggle, for ex
istence has developed a serious, sturdy,
grim type of peasantry.
"The infrequent visitor to the basin
of the Garonne will find families whose
diet, in winter, consists largely of
chestnuts and potatoes and goat cheese
who eat their simple repast off ta
bles with depressions hollowed from
the wood to serve as plates, and have
gravel floors in their tiny cottages. He
may encounter inns, with their invar
iable menus of Veal, buckwheat cakes
and potatoes, where he is supposed to
furnish his own knife, a custom surviv
ing from not more than a century ago
when the guest of a Provenceiosteiry
was expected to carry his own cutlery.
"But if this visitor thinks primitive
conditions connote a backward people
he will be as much surprised as many
a city-bred recruit in the A. E. F.
who took the literacy of a southern
mountaineer to be a measure of his in
telligence. "Correze has an area nearly equal
to that of our own state of Delaware.
It lie3 along the western edge of the
great central plateau of France. It is
corrugated with valleys, ravines and
gorges. 'Moors, heaths and bracken'
are word; most, needed in descriptions
of its landscapes. Groves of chestnut
trees, white birches, and Avalnut trees
often give a suggestion of a gaunt
New England scene. Only in an oc
casional valley is the soil fertile. Scat
tered over this Department are about
as many people as live in Indianap
olis. "The sons of Correze who rubbed el
bows with Allied soldiers on the West
ern Front may have brought back news
of the trade opportunities which lurked
in the outside world. Perhaps that is
why Correze farmers awoke to the
fact that chestnuts they formerly gath
ered against the lean winter might
have a higher value in exchange. Any
way they found their way to the chan
nel's of American exports and Correze
citizens are now reported to be greatly
disturbed a: the proposed tariff bar
rier. "Chestnut gat! crlng, rather than a
ravings account, represents the start
ing point of many a home in Correze.
Communes usually owned tne land
about them, and gave citizens legal litle
to tracts they cieared and cultivated.
But it takes three or four years to pro
duce a crop and, in the meantime,
many a voung man has' found his eco
nomic sal vl" lien in nut gathering. Mush
rooms which abound under the chest
'.ut trees, tfford another edlbl
"Not enly is this land hard to clear
and till, but the remoter sections fcntw
nly the simplest tools. A plow is made
of two poles, joined at an angle, with
the eround end of the pole held by tne
marf constituting the plow share. Ev
ery hamlet has its church. To the
pedestrian who would tramp through
these parts, and thm? get the full flavor
of a most interesting environment the

i PLUMBER RETURNS TO
JOB AFTER 8 MONTHS
Denver. Sent. 6. (United Press.)
1 Henry Turner, a Denver plumber, left
a repair job for 15 minutes to get a
(drink of water, and returned eight
"months and 10 days later.
Turner cs. ea at tne nume ji.
i.iiiinn Pollock. December 6, 1920, to
! fix a water pipe. At 7 :4i o ciock tnai (
morning he left to get a drink of water,
Und told Dr. Pollock he would be back
in 15 minutes. At 8 o'clock, the morn
of August 16, 1921, Turner showed
up at Dr. Pollock's residence and asked
where his tools were, as he wanted to
complete the job he had just left,
i He refused to believe he had been
'gon eight months, and told physicians
I that he remembtred being struck on
'the head by something when he went
.'nut for 15 minutes, Decembr 6. Th
next he remembered, he said, was being
in a hospital at Syracuse, N Y.
Phvsicians say Turner's case is one
of amnesia, althou'-in they are puzzled
a to how he should remember the
repair job when he had forgotten prac
tically everything elje.

TRANSPORTATION IS
PROVIDED CHILDREN
Gastonia, Sept. 6. Injihe future Gas
ton county rural school children will
not only have modern schools to go to
but will be provided with free mo' or
transportation to and from school. Tar.
county has just bought three motor
trucks which will be used in carrying
the children to thfe recently consoli
dated rural schools.
The consolidation of schools that aas
recently been made together with tni
added improvement of transportation
service will afford educational advan
tages that are hardly surpassed in the
municipalities of the county. This is
merely another step toward the real
' lis '
ill l ij if
.- tel bsH
ization of Superintendent Hall's plans
for establishing in this county tns
most efficient school system in this
section.
One of these trucks is a large tw
ton Federal, which was sen., to Cua
over Saturday afternoon to have a
suitable body built cn it. The other
trucks are a Republic and a Ford. Th-i
Ford has also been sent to be equippe'i
with a suitable body and the Repub'ic
will follow in a few clays. It is plan
ned to have a body placed on the Fed
eral and Republic trucks that will ac
commodate about 30 children each, and
a bus body on the Ford that will seat
about 20.
One of the largest of these trucks
will be used in the New Hope section
to serve the recently consolidated
school there. It will carry the chil
. t for Yourselfc, on the Road
dren who formerly attended the Pine-y
Grove, Hand's and McLean's Chanel
schools to the new buildings at' New
Hope.
The ether two trucks will be used m
the Cherryville section to carry hign
schools boys and , girls from the ele
mentary school districts to the central
high school, and will incidentally carry
smaller children from the vicinity of
the high school to the elementa.-y
schools.
