Gats man, a ranches, recently was eye witnes to a spectacle not often seen l by human beings, that of a deadly , combat between two male deer with their horns Interlocked. 1 Gutaman, who is deaf, came on the duelists in a wilderness near here and J was within twenty-five feet of then before lie saw thefti or they sensed his presence. When the backs noted the intsasion, they ceased fighting and scrambled away, their horns, stir locked, to a point hardly 100 yard: distant, where the battle was resura I ed. Guttman did not again approach the animals. Instead he notified the game warden, and the next day an in vestigation wa s made. The. bocks coold not be found, bat the trail they Ihad left for miles told eloquently of the terrific battle. In places the ground was torn np as if by a plow and saplings were broken down. At one point the fettered foes had fallen over a cliff twelve feet high. The game warden predicted that the final chapter of the episode would be written when some hunter found two pairs of whitened horns linked together. Such finds are not uncom mon, an indication that fights between male deer often last until both die of exhaustion or starvation.

SOMETIME, SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW (By Wickes Wamboldt) Not very long ago a baron and a baroness committed suicide on the grave of their son who had been dead four years. They left a note saying they had nothing to live for. It was a sad instance and the more so be cause it indicated the baron and the baroness bad lived without knowing why they were living or what they were hen for. We are not put Into this world to get what we want but to get what i» good for us. Many times the worst thing that could happen to us would be to get what wp want, like the baby who cries for the wasp on the window pane or yells for its father’s rasor. We are not necesarily put here to enjoy life or to be in such locality as appeals to us or to be with the people that attract us. We are put here to work. W are put here to broaden. A great man was asked by a student, “What cause, more than any other, do you consider has aided you in your development. The great nan answered without hesitation, “Doing the things I did not like to do.” He was right Be cause doing the things'he did not like to do required self-control and of ah 'the things we humans need self-con trol is paramount Give a man self control and he can bring all other things to hint. Let the man with self control be convinced of his duty and he will do it The baron and the baroness lacked self-control when they destroyed their fives on their eon’s grave. They play jd hookey because the problems got too hard. Probably wherever they are now they wish they had remained here and finished the education that this world would have given them. The boy in school on a summer day when the birds are singing, the breezes blowing and the fish biting tr»inV ho has not much to live for—particularly if he did not get his lessons the night before. : He would like to quit schol. Lots of them do and regret it years later. Civilisation starts when man begins to control his circumstances instead of letting them control him. ft is only when he realises the necesity of turn ing his back «n the path of least re sistance that ha begins to assume greatenses. Man is not intended in this world to spend too much time with the soft and,the beautiful. We need a certain amount of gurgling streams, grassy slopes, syhnm.woods, and cummer zephyrs, bqt ‘not too much.

AWAKES TO BEAUTIES OP HIS HOME Chicago, Jan. Ib.—Not until the picture of Ms product stood before him done on canvj^ ^n all the color oi iUnative saaaroundjiagp, was a veteran cowman and ranches of Wyoming brought to apprecite the beauty of the home and soil* which nursed his industry. For years this rancher had come to Chicago, usually with carloads ot cattle for market. The stock* yards he understood, but not the large building on Michigan Avenue guard ed by huge bronze lions. He learned it was the Chicago Art Institute and, it being a free day with time hang ing heavy upon him, he entered. He. came upon a painting of a cow and was amazed at the wonderful likeness. It touched ground upon which he was familiar, and he inquired for the galleries having paintings of ranch and farm themes. When this rancher went back home he began to perceive interesting t things about him that he had never | noticed before. There was color in; everything. The alfalfa patch of blue- f green, the golden yellow of the straw ( stubble, the tender green of young, oats, the shifting light of cloud sha-| dows on the meadows, the bristling coats of his animals, all began , to re veal their beauty to him. Most of his idle time in Chleago now i8 spent in the institute’s atmoatphere. This is one of many stories told‘by officials of the institution who have watched, the effect if- its exhibits. In recent year these Instances h%ve grown in number, they say, which | leads them to believe there is an awakening in understanding and ap preciation in the beatiful things of Hfe and nature.

It is a Persian work and dates from about 1430-1470 believed to have been executed for Mirza Shahruk, son of Timur, the Tartar conqueror. While of unassuming appearance, its beauty is in the perfection of its intricate tooling, much of it “blind” on the mellow brown leather. Within the coven are original medallions of pierced arabesque ornament, tooled and enriched by a backing of bright Future of North Carolina . Depends Upon Its Citizens; Great Natural Resources • A . . * : (Carl C. Taylor in Tar-he-Uon) North Carolina’s greatness will de pend in the future, as it does at th< present, upon a combination of natur al resources and human organisation This is true of greatness wherever it it found, whether the greatness be ol an individual, a state or a nation. Ac complishment is always the result ol 1 human effort and human vision ap plied to material opportunity. The future of North Carolina inheres in her geographic situation. Hie meas ure of that future depends upon what the people of North Carolina do with it. The accomplishment of the State in the past has been great or small ac cording to one’s method of measuring greatness. How great we are as a State ought not to be our chief con cern. How great are our potentialities and how great our determination to make the most of the, is what alone counts. «• Our Natural Resources N orth C arolina as a geographic unit is a cosmopolitan State. Its alti tude varies from the mountains to the sea. It can grow practically every kind of plant and animal known to American agriculture. It has mineral potentialities of various kinds. It has commercial clay and sand potentiali ties. It has hydro-electric potentiali ties second only to those of New York among the Eastern Sates. Its geographic, phyiscal, or material potentialities are varied as well as great. A Great Stage of Development North Carolina stands in a position of peculiar compariative advantage in relation to the centers of economic activity and centers of population. It js at the cross-roads, just at this time, in the economic evolution and de velopment of the nation. It is prob t ably destined to make more progress in the neft two decades than it has made in all its past history, and more than any other peagraphic areag of the nation will make during that period. Our national sivization has devel oped by traveling westward. It some time since struck the Pacific eoast and is now turning back on itself to consolidate the ground it has gained by intensively developing the area.0' traversed. P^-Osr uajJt sal ~i i—) n>Ujf>e julsgsnd ■■ ed ni thsTpcst upon the $roduetianed raw agricultural products, produced largely for export. It is now very rapidly turning to industrial activities. In the future to a much larger degree than in the past, its prosperity will depend upon domestic markets and the refining of goods. North Caro lina is in a most advantageius posi tions participate heavily in the gains which will acrue from this national ecomic activity. The State ha$ a large capacity to produce raw prod ucts for factory consumption. U has large power capacity to turn the wheels of Industry. It la near the great American consumption centers and can easily make transportation contacts with foreign countries. It has the raw products, the power and the market contact necessajgr to a great industrial deveopment, and that development is sure to take place in the near future. ' , Our Hum«n Factor Asset* North Carolina Is rapidly building the habit of looking for opportunities to go forward. Few States in the na tion exceed the egotism of this State, and, peculiar as this may seem, this is an asset just at this time. It believes in itself. It thinks it is destined to be great. It is proud of its attainment, and the promising thing about this pride is that it largely is pride over real and recent accomplishments rather than over past history and family ancestry. So recent are the accomplishments of our educational, welfare, health, agricultural, road, adn industrial progress that they are a part of the existing activity and thought of our people. The men and women who have stimulated and guided the progress of the last decade or twi are yet in our midst and are actively engaged in the very things which have developed our present de gree of greatness. The fact just related is one of deep est significance. A social movement, such as an era of progress, is as much dependent upon real material facts as is any othe rmovement dependent upon such facts. The leaders in North Carolina’s new greatness are material factors, not mere tradition and memories. The progress of North Carolina will not slaken so long as w* can keep contact with the person who have in the past and now are develop ing the resident forces of the State. The things mentioned above are all real. Give us eyes to see them clearly and hands to guide them surely, and we will convert our millions of acres if idle and waste lands into farm pro duction, our streams into factory powers, our raw products into refine^ good our illiteracy Into enlighten RHINE WINES 80LD AT AUCTION (Bjr Associated Press.)
