SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 CONCERNING THE NEW HOSPITAL Contributions Will Be Needed to Make Up the Full Amount Finally Needed The Pilot has be«n asked a number of questions about the new hospital that IS soon to be started at Pine- hurst, and some of them are answered bv Mr. Tufts, who says: “In regard to the hospital I find there is a good deal of misconception' about this. First, we should accentu ate the fact that this is a County Hos pital and in time the Duke Founda tion will have a hospital in every county in North Carolina. They have carefully made plans for this hospi tal and in all probability the hosp'tal here will be the first building prepared under their plans and specifications and will be the latest and best thing that can be devised after two years' work by the Duke Foundation in con- 35 4q jjj height, and about 10 nection w th the great National Sur- to \2 inches in diameter; but Profes- Mantpnl nf t.nA *v . tt • the trees of BY J.

Fownes was a business of poultry; 150 dozen eggs and a i man of promuience in western Penn- good many pounds of meat bemg m-1 gylvania, and one thing that impress- eluded in the sale. These products ed me with his relation to the com- netted the farmers around $600.00. munity was that he was a member of HOLLY: ILEX OPACA: American Holly: So far as utility goes, the holly tree is soon describe. It grows all over Moore County, but is a small tree, rarely ever attaining more than gical and Medical Associations of the world. “Second, it seems to me very im portant to call to the people's atten- sor Coker in the North Carolina Uni versity Extension Bulletin mentions a Holly Tree at Hartsville, S. C., that is 34 inches in diameter two feet tion that those of us who are going jfron^ the ground, and stands 48 feet ahead on this work are going ahead on the assumption that by fall the people of Moore County will ra.se $20,000 more. A large portion of the money subscribed so far has come high; This is a whopper, and far and above any specimen we can boast in Moore County. The Holly Tree, if given a free chance, grows in a perfect sugar-loaf from the wealthy winter residents of j shape. Its wood veneering makes the Southern Pmes and Pinehurst, not for best known imitation of ivory, and in selfish reasons but giving of their riches to aid the health conditions in this county, and we have had confi dence enough in the people of Moore County to practically assure these countries where the tree grows large, this is quite an industry. Our holly leaves contain only very small particles of this stupefying principle; but they contain a little, about as much as tea. I remember holly tea was used quite freely by the old women in the neighborhood of Cameron when I was a child. Our holly leaves are armed with sharp spines, which one botanist I have read of claims are the salvation of the tree from the depredations of sheep, goats and deer; hut I noticed that in Scotland the holly leaves are soft and pliable, and while the leaf has the spines, just as our holly has; yet there are more sheep in Scotland than in any other part of the world that I have ever vlsitecjf,—^but the holly spines are so soft you can safely crush the leaves in your hand with out injury; yet the sheep do not seem The leaves of the holly contain ajto bother the holly bushes. narcotic drug, somethmg like co-i But quite apart from the use that , - 1 X caine, that is largely used in some! can be made of the holly tree as a w nter residents that Moore County j South American countries by labor-! utility tree, it has a far greater value „,;ii ^0,1 , . , , . , , I from the standpoint of sentiment.

It is em phatically a county hosp’tal, and not a Pinehurst hospital. That it is lo cated at Pinehurst is because a loca tion there was given, and one that can be reached by rail, by automobile from all directions, and because the location selected is central in the county and can be reached by medical men from all over the country, as well as of the community to be served. This is to be one of the mo<3t modern hos pitals on earth, although not one of durance;—^but it must be added that if the habit is long followed, it proves disastrous to the men, as does the long continued use of any drug. a decorative tree it has no equal, either with us, or in Europe. And this fact is about to destroy this much loved tree from the face of the earth. (Please turn to Page 10) Due to heavy sales just previous to this we did not load qu^te as much as was really expected. One of these sales was held in cooperation with the the board of the Union Trust Com pany, whose office was directly across Fourth Avenue from my office in the Times building.

Pcison Potato Bugs Anyone who grows Irish potatoes is well acquainted with the Colorado Potato Beetle or potato bugs as we know them. If allowed to remain on the vines for a lehort iwhile even this insect can completely de^ptroy potato plants in a short time if no control measure is used. Control Calcium arsenate may be used, either as a spray or a dust. Do not use other poisons as Calc’um Arsenate is -ibsolutely effective and is the cheapest poison that pan be used.

Mr. Fownes was con nected also with the Monongahela Coal Company, one of the big pioneers in coal production in Western Penn sylvania, and with other Pittsburgh Industrie's, and the name was an out standing one in the community. Long ago he became acquainted with Pine hurst, and today he is ranked among the fathers of the Sandhills. W. C. Fownes is of the younger generation, but he is also one of the prominent residents, and for years as a member of the Tinwhistles he has been a leader In golf, being, in fact, widely known not only in this sec tion, but wherever golf is favored. As a Tinwhistle he is active in golf, for the Tinwhistle club is an institu tion in the Sandhills and perhaps the most conspicuous of all the notable features. Therefore it is a memorable event when H. B. Emery, of Pine hurst, announces that he has sold to W. C. Fownes Kichard Tuft's house, witii lote, Nos. 204 and 206B at Kjrolrapw The location is on side of Midland road at the coTO^ CTCst road, topping the Hill-A^ita sufiiciiit, a^d overlooking all 'Creation, inchi^n tion, inchKfing Judge Way’s ng al] Way’s excellent results.

These weevils if placed end to end would form a line that would nearly girdle the earth at its circumference. The figures, said the speaker, were based on a female wee vil laying 150 eggs before it died. This number of eggs, he maintained was not unusual for one lady weevil because the entomologists had often secured that number from weev’ls in their laboratory at Aberdeen On 300 acres of cotton there ought to grow 180 million squares and bolls. This he said would amount to only one square or boll for each 35 weevils, if the rate of weevil reproduction could go on unhampered from June to the end of September. .
