AIAV ADD CAULIFLOWER TO HAMBURG CABBAGE ( aulil lower growing may be added to the profitable cabbage culture in the Hamburg section of Jackson county, thereby adding to the cash crop of that great trucking region Kxperiments have been made, this year, in cauliflower culture, by J.

It is believed that, since cauli flower brings a higher price llian cabbage, that the lame of Hamburg cauliflower may spread, as has that of i he cabbage, and the growing ol catilifiower I'm* the market may be come ;i mo/^t in p trtaant cash crop i.u upper Jackson county, People who are acquainted with the c-liiiiiil ?% soil, and other condi- ' lions in that part of Jackson county, are convinced that. many vegetables will gradually ho added to those al ready grown, and that a great source of wealth will come from the truck ing industry in Hamburg.

Vestal, County Agent) Seven Jackson County Farmers shifted 42 lambs 1?> Atlanta last week, cooperating with Macon Coun ty and the Indian Reservation in a ear load from Franklin. The lainhs were of much better quality than the former load as they were carry ing more flesh. These lambs sold as follows: 7 lainhs, weighing 575 lbs. brought 6V*?c lb. ;13 lambs, 945 Lbs, Gc; 2 lambs, 1 GO lbs. 5 V?c; 2 lambs, 150 lbs., 5c; 16 lambs, 11(H) lbs., 4c; 2 lambs, 115 lbs., 2 3-4c. The top lambs, bringing 6l/>c, w.ts the top price for the year, ",h<- mar-. | ket being higher than in July or | the first of August. This advance in pricethis time of the year is an un | usual occurrence, as the price trend ' is generally downward. However, the advance is no doubt due to the gen eral advance in all classes of live stock and in the meat trade as well. The following n en were shippers of this load: Mr. Jim Cook rind iJrice Wood, Co warts; Mr. Edd Brown and L. Cope, Cowarts; Mr. Eri : Aa. ar-l. Cowarts; Mr. R. W. Fisher, Sylva; I and Mr. J. D. Allison & sons, V.'hit j tier. TODAY and TOMORROW (By Frank Parker Stockbridge) Smokers . . . lose last saxctum One effect of the emancipation of women lias been to leave mere man with very few places to go where he can enjoy the society of his own sex [without feminine invasion. Tim saloon used to be such a re fuge, but they t??ll me that the speak easies, in the big ctities at least, have ns many women patrons as men. They still don't let women into Ma sonic and other lodges, but most of the railroads are finding it impos sible to keep them out of the smok ing ears. 1 traveled from New York to Washington a short time ago and found that the so-oatled "club ear," formerly an exclusively male sanc tum, had put in a lot of fancy sofas and doodads for the benefit of women smokers. T see that the Santa Fc railroad has put on a specifel smoker for women. If the girls want to smoke, they ought to have a place for it where they wouldn't get in the men's | way. [ Amazing . . . Olympic Receipts The most amazing statement I have seen in print in years is that the Olympic Games Committee has enough money on hand from admis sion receipts to pay back the million dollars which the state of California lent in 1027 to finance the prepara tions for the great international ath letic tournament. I do not remember ever having heard of a state or a government getting hack any money that it had lent. And what makes it the inor< amazing is that there were 800,000 paid admissions to the Olympic games this year of deepest depression. It all goes to show that California is a wonderful state, and that there art! still some sports-loving people with money left in the world. Barometer . . . human suffering Evn"ff<?line Booth says things are Retting bet fsr. Shi -vil't to jStiow. j She is the head of n. o tion in the world that cl<>sc X to human suffering. That is the Salva tion Army. The Salvation Army reaches down to the lowest strata of humanity. Tt deals with human beings as Individ uals in trouble. Its officers know better than anyone else when times are hard and wIicji they are easier. So when Miss Booth says that things are getting better, J, personally, would place more reliance upon her report (han on those of. all tho econ omists and statisticians in the world. Tho demands upon the Salvation Army for help arc an aceuratc bar ometer of human necessities. Wrinkles . . . Neckwear and skirts The big industries of the future are coming out of the research la boratories every day. The latest is a process of treating cotton, rayon and silk fabrics so that they will not create or retain permanent wrinkles. That should interest men as well as women, for one of the heretofore unsolved problems of civilization has been how to wear a necklie more than three times without getting it all wrinkled up! And every woman who rides in an automobile knows how difficult it is to keep her skirt from showing wrinkles. W. C. T. C. SEEKS $5,000 FOR EMERGENCY LOAN FUND Western Carolina Teachers Col lege is seeking' to raise $5,000 to be used as an emergency loan fund for students, the hulk of which will he [ loaned to freshmen. The method endorsed by the board of trustees is to borrow $5,000 from employees and friends of the col lege, to be paid to the lenders by September 1, 19.'J8, with interest pay able annually at 4 per cent. The in . % eome from the hydro-electric plant will he pledged to the lenders as se curity for the loans, and it is .now producing $1,000 a year. It is expected that the employees < f the school will subscribe $2,500 or $3,000 of the loan, and the rest will be raised from friends of the college. Dean W. E. Bird has mailed out a large number of letters outlining the plan. Certificates showing the amount subscribed, and the amount due each lender to the fund will be issued, and will pledge the income from the hvdro-electric plant as security for the indebtedness. MEN AT WORK ON FINAL SURVEY OF CULLOWHEE ROAD Engineers are at work making, what is said to be the final survey on the lower end of Highway 100, beginning at Highway 10, in Sylva, land connecting up Ihc three remain ing links between that point anil Dick's (rap nt Cullowhec; and it is understood that the contract for grading and paving of that part of Jackson county's most important road will he let by the middle of this month. The mass meeting Avill be held at (jlenville, within the next few d?ya, it is understood, in which all the people of the county interested in Highway 1,,(> are erpccted to gath'T and take whatever steps may be deemed necessary to urge the High way Commission to speedily com plete the road clear through ty con nect with Highway 28 in Cashier's Vinl ley. It is generally conceded that tlie tardiness oil the completion of this highway, which is the backbone of Jack son county# highway system, is one of the most important of all roads leading from outside the moun tain area to the Great Smoky Moun tains National Park, and to the mid dle west, lias been extremely costly to the business interests of Sylva and all Jackson county, and that it must be completed -if the county is to tnike the progress that it should, This point was stressed before the advisory committee on the develop ment of. the park area, at Wayncf; ville, hist week, by Mr. Dan Tomj> kins, Mr. A. .1. Dills, and Mr. B Knloe, and Ihr road ns one of the major objective* in the development of the park ar-a, at that viceting, and will urgd upon the ' v thai cfunir 'Uv, thii * , i^ing the c?Ainty HiSsi* V'irr n'l Western Carolina W-liuwl tlie ment to get llighwny 100 <*omplct? i at ns early a date as possible. It is pointed out that the mas-< meeting at (ilcnvillc may be product ive of great good, as it is generally believed (hat now is the time to strike, while tin? iron is hot, ami urge upon tlnf Highway Commission this this road, over which the peo ple of the county have suffered a long aeries of disappointments, and in anticipation of the completion of Which the county has invested six hundred thousand dollars in loans and donations to the State, be com pleted at the earliest possible mom ent, and out of the present federal funds in tlie hands of the State for road purposes.. The unfairness of building other roads, which wen; not on the orig inal highway system, before this one which was adopted by the Stotc in 1020, when the first fifty-thousand dollar bond isMie for roads' was made, is completed, was pointed out by Mi*. Tompkins at the Waynesville meet ing, and he stated there that Jackson county will op]>osc any move to build rjther roads until this one is finished (o Cashier's Valley, as was contem plated when the State assayed to construct ?i highway system connect ing the county seats a.nd to the State institutions. NEW YORK MAYOR NOW IN SPOTLIGHT OF NATION Washington, C., August 31. ? It is not often (hat a Mayor of Xew York becomes a figure of na tional political importance, but that is what has happened ju the case of "Jimmy'' Walker. The belief that Gov. Roosevelt would not dare to throw him out for fear of incurring the enmity of Tammany Hall and losing the electoral vote of New York State seems to have been dispelled. Even the Governor's political oppon ents concede that his handling of his personal investigation of Walk er's conduct as Mayor was an excel lent piece of work. Also Mayor Walker's resort to the courts, in the effort to show that the Governor has no authority to remove him, has gone a long way to convince voters all over the country that he is not quite the heroic martyr which he hii h><B rspctMiita^
