The experience of the country in the recent world war led the gov ernment to plan such a big artillery project, and Col. E. P. King, Jr., was ordered to go on a tion to find the best location, keeping in view the one purpose of the most suitable region that he could pick out. He looked around and finally landed in the sandy belt between Southern Pines and Fayetteville, and after a careful study he went back to Wash ington and recommended that section of country as the most healthful, most practical for a big army post, most satisfactory for all the year out door work of the batteries and the men, the best surface for the hard usage of the guns, and for traffic, and the greatest accessibility from other parts of the Union. Engineers were sent down to study Col. King’s Authorization of an additional $800,000 for housing at Fort Bragg, wthich was carried in the amended House bill that passed the Senate last week, brings the total for this mili tary reservation to $2,349,000.

Epworth Herald, the frequent functions of all sorts the uniform is in evidence, while at the polo and other games many of the Fort Bragg players are among the topnotchers. The big land area of the reservation is cared for by the army as a vast forestry holding, and wild life is mul tiplying abundantly within its 'boun daries, as hunting is forbidden, and the bijr range is a sanctuary for game. When cannon firing is going on the birds and animals take to the stream bottoms, and find ample cover, and they soon learn the dangerous zones. So it comes that deer, turkey, quail, foxes and all the smaller creatures are multiplying immensely on the reser vation and flooding the country adja cent. The army is a wonderfully popular spectacular feature of the Sandhills when on marches or mov ing to or from other point or when taking part in community events in the villages. The Fort is a fine set- ing to the winter resort community. Mottoes for Motorists Pedestrians should be seen and noti hurt.—Life j Say it with brakes and save on the i flowers.—Judge.

ARCHITECT WORK EXECUTED IN AND AROUND KNOLLWOOD FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA THE PINEHURST BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION CLOSES ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR Among the many influences that contribute to the upbuilding and the progress of the Sandhills Section are The Building and Loan Associations within its bounds, and whose activi ties are little heraldied. At a recent meeting of The Board of Directors of the Pinehurst Assso- ciation, activities for the year were gone over and annual reports for 1928 scrutinized. They were much pleased to be able to report to the members that the rate of earnings for the year was slightly more than 7 per cent. In addition to that, a h-ealthy increase in shares of stock outstanding was attained, consider ing that four series aggregating 156 shares of a par value of $15,600 were matured and paid off, in addition to the usual stock witdrawn before ma turity. Since organization in Deoember 1920 this association has aided 52 of its members in acquiring homes at an outlay of $165,000. Inclusive of the shares of borrowers it has in that time matured and paid off 672 shares of a par value of $67,200. The portion of this quitJe sizeable sum represents savings paid in week ly and the maturing of the stock to some has meant homes free and clear of encumbrance and to otWers a sav ings account. Given the fiscal facts, one cannot restrain from citing again and again the contribution the Building and Loan movement has made in the past to upbuilding of the community, state and nation and its po«Bibllitie« for further service present and fu ture.

VIKGINIA-CAROLINA CHEMICAL CORPORATION rjif CRIEAT iMim and Motordom calls for lABGEST HUDSON output of all time Already in response to the public's demand, prr^duction of the Greater Hudson has been increased, and then increased ajrain — by far the larg^est schedule Hudson ever found necessary. In theirown words, by their marked and recorded ballots, motorists by tens of thousands are telling us the Greater Hudson is truly the great est of all time. Voting in every Hudson salesroom in the country, these enthusiastic multitudes have piled up the most convincingendorsementin Hudson history. Perhaps even more im- ortant, they have bought these por bea Lutiful new Hudsons in such numbers that we must make thou sands more of them to insure prompt delivery. Every experience and suggestion of the world’s largest 6-cylinder own ership is incorporated in the 64 im provements of the Greater Hudson* As co-authors of these creations the 1,000,000 Super-Six owners arc na turally first to want to see, inspect and drive them. It is particularly interesting to observe their special satisfaction in the numerous body improvements. In comment, thrse important developments in body designand appointment, fully equal the more dramatic qualities of the more than 80-mile-an-hour per formance. They definitely set Hudson apart from like-priced cars, just as Hud son performance stands alone among all cars. Come, sec and drive the Greater Hudson. We believe one ride will make it the car of your choice. 1095 JZmt sir prwrram tf tkt **HadMm~Eswt CkaUtuprt" mm frid4n Ewmmg IV 8cmnci»rd Eouipmcnt includes: 4 hydraulic tuio-*t>ay shock ab~ torberB — dectric gat and oil gauge—radiator $huner»^tad' die lamp§—*vindthield wiper- rear view mirror electrolock— controls on steering wheel—all bright parts dtromium~plat^ and factory Staiularcl whedbate Coach* $109S; Staadard Sedan. $1175; Coupe. $119St IRtmdm**, $1250; SipaiM.
