TODAY IS THE DAY TO GET SEASON TICKETS The Guarantors Can Only Be Supported by the Purchase-of Season Tickets. Meeting Tonight for Re ports Committees Therfollowing arc the ticket committ&'for the Chautauqua: E Y. Speed, chairman; W. E. Parrott, T. V. Moseley, 1 K. E. Mewborn, J.C.Hood, W. D. Hood, Miss Leah Oettinger, Miss Susie Perry, Miss Margaret Goodson, Miss Ann Hyman Harvey. The guarantors fr tne 191" Chautauqua will hold a short meeting tonight in the directors' room of the First National Bank to hear reports from the ticket and steering committees. A full attendance is urged. A meeting was held last night and the reports showed that a good num ber of tickets- had been sold sines' the meeting Saturday nighty The fund for sale of season tickets, which is applied on the guarantee fund of $1,400, is yet several hundred dollars short, and unless the people of Kin ston come to the support of the guar antors today there will unquestion ably be a deficit, which the guaran tors will have to make good. Some of the ticket selling commit tee reported "that they had been told by many people that - they expected to take in one or more of the attrac tions, but did not feel disposed to buy a season ticket In this connec tion it should be borne in mind that the purchase -vof single admission tickets will not be of assistance to the guarantors at all. The season tickets are transferable. Where there are several members of a family or friends who do not desire to take in all the attractions, a. season ticket or two can be procured and used by the different ones. In this way not only will the cost of the single admissions be less but the guarantee fund will be boosted. ' Now is the time I . Today is the day! These are the guarantors: William Hayes, W. H.

State Agent Hudson makes the following comparison of the two methods of saving forage. "One method is to pull one 'blade of fodder by hand at a time. This is rot only slow and therefore expensive, but it comes usually in the hottest part of the year. The other way is to grow clo ver, cowpeas and other leguminous crops and harvest' them by horse power, cutting a swath three or four feet wide, with the blade running al- t . ,. ,-.,.. , ..... any business farmer will admit, even without testing it, that the latter plan is more economical. It is a question, in other words, of the fanner in creasing his work power, and there fore his earning capacity." Most farmers who pull fodder ev ery year do so not because they are compelled to, but because they are in the habit of doing so. It is now time to get ready to obviate the necessity of having to pull fodder this year. I he best thing to do is to grow some of the splendid crops cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans, millet, etc. 4hat are so well adapted to that purpose. A farmer who does this. a few times will not have to resort to the antiquated method of stripping his corn leaves. It is not only ex pensive, but very often a few rains will destroy the fodder after it has been pulled, and therefore the far mer loses his forage, his labor, and has also -reduced his corn yield. For the heaviest yield of corn leaves of the plant should be left on the stalk until the corn is well matured, say' experts of the North Carolina Experi ment Station.

EXAMINE AND REPAIR YOUR FLUES. . Municipal officials, Are department heads, fire prevention societies, and all others Interested In reducing the crim inal fire waste, are' making mlnuto In spections of fines In accordance with tho rules of ordinary prudouce and business sagacity. To be of tho most benefit, the lnspep- Hon should bo made before fires are started for warmth and comfort. The need is greater here in the South than In cold climes, because using the flues less, they are usually constructed at less cost and therefore with less care, rith consequently more danger. About 15 per cent of all known I causes of fires are traceable to defec tive flues. Prakably the same ratio of "unknown causes" would apply to de fective flues. Therefore it Is easy to see whit this one Item alone does to wards making a large and needless fire waste. Mutual Insurance Journal. SMOKING AND MATCH PRECAUTIONS.
