out North Carolina are tremendous
ly inlcnsUti in the Great Smoky

iiiu- their efforts toward1 further
? . J -* V
arousing ihe inWost and enthusiasm
of the people for the park, and that
they will ishow their faith in a ma

funds begins, December First.
Sirs. McKee, in her official visits,
lias dclivcwd addresses to the club
women all over North-Carolina from
Elizabeth City and Wilmington, to
Waynesville, and in each address, has
devoted nearly half her time in
stressing the benefits to North Cam

THE MILK COW NEEDS
LEGUME HAY NOT
GRASS OR TIMOTHY HAY I
It is an 'established fact thru hun
derds of tc;ds made by the State and
Federal feed specialist that ofr feed
ing milk cows to get results in the
form of milk and butter fat that 100
pounds of good clover hay is worth
200 pounds of grass or Timothy hay.
Also 100 pourfds of Soy Bean or Al
falfa hay is worth 400 pounds of
grass or Timothy hay for feeding the
milk cow.
Of course grass and Timothy hay
'i&s its place and is a good horse
?"ecd, but it does not make the best
cow feed by far.
County Agent C. W. Tilson ad
vises those men who have to buy hay |
>r roughage for the cows this win
ter to consider the saving "in buying
and using legume hay. And next
-pring let's prepare and grow ah

we will keep.

TENNESSEE JOINS IN
PBOTEST ON ENVELOPES
Nasheville, Tenn.?The following
resolutions were unanimously posted
at the meeting of the Middle Ten
nessee Press association, held hero
October 23: >
"Whereas the federal government
is engaged in active and deadly com
petition with the couniry press jind
job offices in the matter of printing
envelopes, and whereas we believe
this competition is unfair, unjust and
without justification, and whereas
this is the only legitimate commercial
industry that the federal govern
ment discriminates against.
"Therefore, be it resolved, that the
Middle. Tennessee Press association
hereby declares its unrelenting op
position to this practice of the Post-,
Ollice department and pledges its sup
port to all organized effort and par
tirularly the envelope legislative
committee at Washington, D. C., in
furthering legislation at the next
session of congress which will Stop
the printing and sale of government
stamped envelopes.
"Furthermore, we urge the sen
ators fom Tennessee and the represen
tatives from the ten congressional
districts of the state to cast their
votes and lend their influence against
this unfair and unjust practice by
tire government.
"Resolved, tliat a committee of
ave, including "the president and
secretary of this1 association, be ap
pointed here and now to take this
jucstion up with other state organiza
tions and printing concerns to the
end that the question be made a cat

be spread on the minutes and a eopy

DR TRUETT COMING AGAIN
'' I
i 'Vj \
Franklin Press, Nov. 6.?Rev. A.
J. Smith, the eneigetic and popular
local Baptist preacher, returned last
Sunday from Chapel Hill where ho
met Dr. George Truett and received
his promise to return to Franklin
next August to conduct a revival
meeting. It will be remembered that
Dr. Truett and Dr. F. C. McConnell
held a great meeting in Franklin last
summer in the big tabernacle just
south of town. So well pleased wer?j
these eminent divines with conven
iences at the tabernacle they have
consented to come again next sum
mer.
Drs. Truett and McConnell who are
both natives of ^this section have sig
nified their desire to conduct a re
vival in the southern mountains eaeh
summer A study of the situation has
convinced them that Franklin is the
logical place at which to hold these
meetings. Not only the geographical
location of Franklin but the question
of good roads radiating from Frank
lin to all sections of the mountains
in three states were important fact
ors in arriving at this decision.
The exact date of the meeting to
be held in Franklin next summer has
not been announced. However, the
meeting will take place in /
and will probably Continue &r
days instead of ten as was the ea:o
last summer.
