The bank and postofTice have so many legal days that mer chants can't keep up, .so will be notified by post card by the local bank so they may be financially prepared. Were we a vacationist or fisherman we would long to be a banker. “After July the l.st whiskey cannot be shipped into dry terri- torv. Get what you need at once before the ‘bone dry law’ goes into effect,” is the warning printed by rubber stamp on a whiskey price list just to hand. That’s certainly wholesome advice when you lay the emphasis on the w'ord “NEED.” The ]^er.son who thinks he needs whiskey is in far wor.se condition tiiau tlie country’s fore most health authorities have dis covered. Plenty of Seeds. The News is in possession of a list of persons and firms in this state having farm and garden .seeds for sale. If the.se sujiplies run short in this county and farmers and gardeners need seeds they may feel free to consult this list, w'hich would be published except for the fact that it is quite lengthy. The News believes that for the greater part sufficient .seeds may be had within the countv. Afake the County Flyless. The X ews la.st week presented quite a striking cartoon in connec tion with the opening gun of the Brevard Betterment association in its death-dealing crusade against the dangerous house fly and gives other material in this i.ssue. This organization has the co operation of the News and local health authorities and should have the fullest co-operation of the peo ple throughout town and county. Proper precaution and regular swatting will make practically a flyless town—a most enviable repu tation to which a few towns have made just claim. S,000 Germans Near Us? Many people have many vlewn on many snbjects and sitnations confronting them and the sump hclds good with reference to thp probable location of the envern- ment camp of approximately 3,(0( Gern'ans near Brevard. The authorities visited X«‘v England, then New York, t)i n North Carolina, and when they Tisited Asheville a protest was made hgainst the location of the Uermans in that section. The Citi- /ion opposed the camp and the Times pleaded for it. Hendersonville vvns nnanimous for the camp at Kanuga except for the boarding honsos and hotels, the keepers of which thought the camp would injure the tourist bat^iness. When Hendersonville lost, business and professional men of Brevard met within short notice and the 22 men present wanted the crtmp locateu in Pisgah National Forest, thong'll there is some oppo sition in Brevard as elsewhere. Meanwhile Waynesville became ac tive find wanted to Uieate the camp at a hotel on the town’s border. The camp is to be an experiment on the part of the government and while various sections of the conn try are bidding for it, opposition rises in these same quarters. The altitude of Brevard ard com munity would have little bearing on the matter since the govern ment owns the property on which it proposes to locate the camp only a few miles from Brevard. The government proposes to em ploy these men while they are in terned pending the war and since they will doubtless bo located on this side of the government area it is highly probable tl at they will be employed in opening the road from Brevard to Mt. Pisgah, wnich would result in developments of incalculable value to this comma nity. The project is looked upon in both business and patriotic lights. The government has the Germans on its bands and proposes to make a model camp and show its ntinost care and consid*^ration for them and if the experiment proves snc- cessfnl it will be a great advertise ment not only for this section but for our government. As to the business end, the camp will donl)tless help in some particu lars since the men are all on a sal ary paid by their government. This will naturally mean the re lease of money in this section by the men and by the government. The camp should not materially affert the tourist business unless the men become a menace to this country, in which case Uncle Sam would doubtless exercise his authority to the fullest extent for our protec tion. Whether a blessing or a curse, the government is under obliga tions to take good care of these men and some section must reap the results for good or bad, but the News believes that this commu nity will bo free from any unrea sonable amount oi evil eft'ects in the event the camp is located here, and this has been practically de cided. ^ * CEDAR MT.

ASHEVILLE STEAM VULCANIZING CO. 5 East College Street ASHEVILLE. - - N. C. PLANTING SPINACH. A Favorite Crop Grown For Greonc, and All Gardenors Should Plant It. Sj.iniu h is perliaps the most favorite crop grown for greens, and every home gardener should plant it. Around Nor- lolk, Va., and to the south of it large areas are cut at any lime through the winter when the fields are not frozen «T covered with snow. North of the latitude of Norfolk spinach can be planted in the autumn and carried over the wiiitrr by mulching with straw or leaves. The seed should be sown in drills one f«»ot apart at the late of one ounce to 100 ft‘et of row, or ten to twelve pounds per acre. A rich loam is rtH|uired for success. There is perbai)s no other garden crop which gives as much satisfaction as spinac h. Ordinarily it occupies the land during the autumn and winter and does not interfere therefore with the production of summer vegetables. Three or four ounces of seed planted in the autumn after the summer crop has been harvested will produce an abundance of greens for the average lamily during the late autumn and early spring. In gathering spinach the entire plant is removed instead of merely cuttuig off the leaves. By se lecting the larger plants first the smaller or later ones are given room t(» develop. This method does away witli the iieeesslty of thinning. DON’T NEGLECT YOUR WATCH A WATCH is a delicate piccc of machinery.
