THE COMING
OF AUTUMN
Autumn is in sight. The first
three months of our mild Falls
are often considered as the most
desirable of the year. The sun
is more merciful. The rays fall

a bee can create a six-sided wax'
chamber that will fit perfectly
with other combinations of
cells, making a two-sided comb
that is an example of geometri
cal neatness and exactness.
A man might be generous
enough to concede that a bee
may lead all other insect life in
intelligence, but might be un
willing to accept the idea of a
comparison with the insect’s
and the man’s higher thinking
powers.
The big pine tree out by the
telephone pole is still another
example of intelligence. It de
pends entirely on itself for
maintenance, knowing fhow to
manufacture its owti living, in
its own laboratory, which is
more than a human being can
do.
We are living in a muddled

A FEW WORDS
ABOUT THE CLIMATE
I Southern Pines was founded
jupon sand, by grit and courage.
Soon your nose will catch tne,yyj^^j^ climate as a principal
familiar smell of burning leaves, I supporting asset. For the

Reports show that North Carolina
stands second in the birth rate. If
our record for automobile killing is
maintained, about five percent of
those children are destined for
slaughter.
“In Newport, N. H., twelve skliers
jumped on pine needles instead of
snow—the best jump 31 feet.” We
have an abundant supply of high
grade pine straw though we’re a lit.

EUREKA
One of the local stores last week
announced Virginia oysters for Au.

A New York state visitor return,

she saw decided change in old
friends and surroundings: "The peo

you have no distances anymore. The
trees and shrubbery have all closed
in.”
Efforts of planting have finally
absorbed the idea of pine and oak

The leaves and faded plant life

cinnamon queen of the kitchen. The
pair were alone. “De trumpet soun’s

long to stay here,” came the wail
from the dusky throat. Several tre.
mendous chords from the piano reach
ed her ears. A silence. Then began
a series of runs and high treble notes.
Another silence. Some more thunder,

her last note and hurled herself out
the kitchen door, leaving everything
to the “hants,” in her big hearted
way. Her cry was heard. Help soon
reached her. Her prisoner led her
back into the house with reluctance.
The big dog was at the piano, cover,
ing the keyboard with his long reach,
ears erect, as if pleased with his
creation of harmony. A bewildered
mouse was under the ivories.

THE CONCEIT
OF MAN
In the late spring two sum- hour after hour,‘was a revela-
mer tan^gers without consult-: tion, C. M. i
ing any architects, contractors,! —- ■
masons, electricians, govern
ment housing agencies, or any
body else, set out to build a
home. It may* have been air-
conditioned, but it vvrts not alto
gether rainproof. They raised
their brood, without nurse, gov
erness or tutor. What success
they had in bringing up child
ren is hard to tell. But they are
not dependent on the old folks,
relief, government assistance or
encouragement from any other
source. The whole family soon
left, the younger ones voyaging
out for themselves. They all
drifted away. Last week a pair
of tanagers came back to the
GLENNA COLLETT
AGAIN CHAMPION
Glenna Collett Vare is once
again the winner of the wo
men’s national championship in
golf. Up in Minneapolis last
Saturday Mrs. Vare won the ti
tle for the sixth time. Glenna
Collett has played championship
golf for something like four
teen years, winning her first
victory in national competition
in 1919. Her last silver cup pro
claimed her successful in the en
counter w'ith a youthful seven
teen-year old of Minnesota.
The golf queen has played be
fore so many large galleries in
oak tree, whether it was the I the’Sandhills we°“fe'eT a local
same pair or not would only be,pride in her return to the
a guess. Bird authorities ^say
they are winter residents of the
West Indies, Mexico and South
Amv-'rica, and will leave about
the last of the month for warm
er climates.
Now a trip to the West Indies
isn’t much of a jaunt for a man
to give much concern. He has
road maps, railroad schedules,
boats that the navigated by*
compass and radio, weather in
formation that gives him every
detail as to storm warnings or
any condition of the atmosphere
he might be interested in. If he
flies, he flies under much the
same condition. Before he sets
out he makes a lot of extensive
preparation and depends on a
variety of implements and
knowledge from a number of
other heads. The bird gives his
wings a mere flap and sets sail.
JHe arrives at precisely the point
he had in view, and returns
with the same accuracy and pre
cision. Does the man know any
more than the bird? In our con
ceit we would quickly say, infi
nitely, But do we?
In the cypress post near the
bird’s dwelling, some bees have
found an opening for a home.
In organization and intelligence
a bee isn’t something to be
classed as a numbskull. They
have reached a high develop
ment of brain and senses. With-
throne.
