Many of the injured were fatally hurt, and it is feared the final death li.st will reach one hundred and fifty. The Eddystone Ammunition corpora tion, which was organized originally by interists identified with the Haldwin Locomotive works and oi»erated by thc.-e interests, was taken over la.st September by a commission represent ing the Hritish and Russian govern ments.

It is stated that there are more than two million boys between the ages of 15 and 19 in the cities who are not engaged in any productive work vital to the nation, and these will probably be drafted for farm work during the coming season.

The president personally appeals to the farmers of the South to plant foodstuffs. He says the Southern farm ers “can show their patriotism in no better or more convincing way than by resisting the great temptation of the present price of cotton and helping feed the nations and the peoples every where fighting for their liberties and our own.” The president says the simplest part of the preparation for the present cri sis is putting our navy and army upon an effective war footing. The president urges every American to devote himself to the service of the country without hope of material re ward or advantage and with energy and intelligence that will rise to the level of the enterprise itself — the supreme rights of mankind.

Without formally announcing aban donment of their neutrality, Argentina and Costa Rica have given assurances of their moral sui>port for the United States In the war with Germany. Warning that German submarines are belie-ed to be operating in the Pacific were sent to all steamship cap tains at sea by wireless.

A Model Typewriter! ■ft—. & BUY IT NOW Yes, the crowning typewriter triumph is here! It is just out--dnd comes years before experts cxpected if . For makers have striven a life-time to attain this ideal machine. And Oliver has won again, as we scored when we gave the world its first visible writing. There is truly no other typewriter on earth like this new Oliver ‘’0.” Think of tt-uch so light that the tread of a kitten will run the keys! wives left last Friday for (.’leveland, O , after a few weeks’ visit with iheir parents, Mr. and Mrs, Baxter Merrell. Claud Ray was seriously hurt last week while skinning tan bark near the Clough farm. Ho says he was tryin*’ to escape a falling limb and while running fell on a sharp snag, jnercing the side of his face. A crowd of Brevard boys spent Sunday afternoon on Little River. Miss Mary Maxwell of lirevard visited her cousins, Baxter Merrell’s family last week. Mrs. .M. R. Corn is visiting her sister, Mrs. W. S. Ashworth, of Brevard this week. Pk«(JIK. CAUTION! The new-day advances that come alone on this machine are all con trolled by Oliver. Even our own previous models—famous in their day—never had the Optional Duplex Shift. It puts the whole control ot 84 letters and characters in the little fingers of the right and left hands. And it lets you write them all with only 28 ke)’s, the least to operate of any standard typewriter made. Thus writers of all other machines can immediately run the Oliver Number “9” with more speed and greater ease. WARNING! This brilliant new Oliver eomes at the old-time* price. It costs no more than lesser makes—now out-of- date when compared with this dis covery. For while the Oliver’s splendid new features are costly—we have equalized the added expense to us by simplifying construction. Resolve right now to see this great achievement before you spend a dollar for any typewriter. If you are using some other make you will want to see how much more this one ^oes. If you are using an Oliver, it naturally follows that you want the finest model. “Seek and ye shall find” through the Diversified column. 1 7 f FNXS A OARemember this brand-new Oliver “9” is the * • A • greatest value ever given in a typewriter. It has all our previous special inventions—visible writing, automatic spacer, 6j2-ouncc touch—plus the Optional Duplex Shift, Selective Color Attachment and all these other new-day features. Yet we have decided to sell it to ever)'one everywhere on our famous payment plan—17 cents a day!
