In this case a black and white collie is the subject. He roams the village streets and has a friendly tail wag for everybody. He fallows into the bank when the door swings open, drops down for a quiet rest. In front of the stores, at busy intersections, or over at the filling station, he is encountered about the town. He is getting up in years and ha.s been a town character for a long time. And during that time he has learned some thing about human beings too. In passing a group of small boys near the theatre building he raised a paw and shook hands all around. Two blocks ab ve an old man was coming bis direction. The dog stopped and raised his head. The anticipated pat was forthcoming. The morning freight arrived. The dog crossed the track beside two women he joined. They saw he reasoned the sidewalk in safety. He has had a bump or two meanderings continue. The bond be tween a man and his dog has always been an interesting union. in the Spanish Revolution. During' the last war the avia tors were the beaux sabreurs of all the armies. Their task de manded great things of them, called for individual acts of quick decision and hig'h cour age. The “dog-fights” high over Che lines were man-to-man du els, clean, quick, dashing, w^atch- ed often by the troops beneath with breathless excitement, as the combats between the heroes of old v.'ere watched by their followers. On both sides avia tors were heroes, honored and acclaimed by every man and wo man.

Cordiality goes a long way and reaps as satisfactory results as any thing we can think of. Every once in a while we get a nice letter from the man at the Plaza hotel inviting us to stop and see them when we are in New York the next time. He says he will meet us personally, have theatre tickets ready, that all kinds of transit facilities are at the door, and that the house has been redec orated and refurnished and that if we come up this fall they would be mighty glad. It is just like getting a letter from Grandad, and you resolve if you are ever in New York again you will drop in long enough t^ tell ’em how’dy and that if they ever get down this way we would like to have them stay long enough to play golf on some of our fine courses and have dinner at cne of our nice hotels. The State game commissioner says November 20, marks the date when quail, rabbits and wild turkeys come in seasqn. Southern Pines as a town is not as old as some, yet it has been in exis tence long enough to S"e long lists of its j'oung people grew up and branch out into many productive fields and lines of distinction. Doris Swett, who recently left for Florida after a brief vis.t is one of her outstajiding pro ducts. Miss Swett’s skill and ability as an etcher has won recogniticn for her from institutions of fame and note. Hence Southern Pines feels pride in the youngster who lived and grew up in the town. We reached the middle of Novem ber with many fall flowers. Our first frosts were delayed, prolonging rcses and chrpsanthemums where they have made many attractive spots about the local gardens. Re becca Cameron had a spectacular dis play of Tithonias, reaching nearly second story heights. The wanderers who discovered her garden in their explorations ifound something very showy in the bright orange flowers. A popular pastime for folks at home, the radio, and some newspa pers, is to ask puzzling questions your friends can’t answer. When utter be wilderment sweeps ever the face of the contestant and he fails to an swer, the question is supposed to be good. Th« Charlotte Observer asks the wizards of golf very far, they too would understand the skillful use of a golfer's wrists. We can’t be caught cn that one. Last summer cars from 48 states toured the park lands of western North Carolina. A count was taken as the automobiles and people regis tered, in traveling through. The Fed eral government has condemned for national forest purp'ses 74,951.18 acres more, with 12 counties inclu ded in this territory. In a recent Fed eral court the government institu ted proceedings for condemnation of more land in that western area. We will soon be an all year round resort state. One cf the most deplorable sights about the town and country is the smoke rising from piles of burning leaves. In the use of commercial fer tilizers North Carolina leads all other states. The News Letter from the University Press says North Car olina consumed slightly over a mil lion tons last year, and no other state a close competitor, and that North Carolina uses one-sixth of all the fer tilizers used in the United States, and has been doing so for over two decades. That is quite a record. If the farmer pays around $30. a ton for fertilizer at that rate they reckon on about one-half of the gross in come from the State’s cotton crop of half a million bales to pay the fer tilizer bill. A lot of trouble with our impoverished soil condition is thoughtlessness on the part of farmer and the gardner. Exhausting the humus of the soil is one of North Carolina’s most costly mistakes. A ton of rotted leaves has practically the same value as a ton of manure. We burn one and buy the other. Left to decay with a light cov ering of dirt, valuable material is ready for the garden in the spring, as decomposition of leaves is quickly accomplished. The News Letter says: “In no state is there greater need for soil conservation than North Carolina. If cur soils could be built up to com pare moderately fovorably with our unexcelled climate. North Carolina would be an agriculture paradise." To maintain plant life with any success there must be a return to the soil of what the plant has removed. An experiment with the next down fall of leaves will mean response in the spring.
