It is now stronger than ever before in its history. More shares have been taken recently than since its organization. It is managed by capable and trust worthy men which largely accounts for its wonderful success in the new series just opened. .BREVARD INSTITUTE NOTES:. G. K.

A “Mum” party was held in the dining - room at Saturday night din ner. which was somewhat unique. Every one who spoke or laughed paid a fine of five cents. As the members of the faculty were dressed to repre sent fami}i<'lr humorous characters, and waited on the tables, there was much merriment and many fines were willingly paid. Quite a large party hiked to Maid en -.hair Falls on Monday, spending the day. Maiden - hair, seems to be the favorite resort of our young people. NAVY RECRUITING STATION: The Navy recruiting officer at Ashe ville again calls the attention of ex - navy men of this, section to the fact that-November 17, 1920, is the last day upon which men who have been out of the seryice more lAan four months and less than one year, may re-enlist and receive all the benefits of continuous service.

While Nov. 17th, is the last day upon which men may reenlist and receive these benefits men thinking of re-enlisting should remember that they would have to be sworn in not later than that date which would make it necessary that they leave Asheville not later than the afternoon of Nov. 1th. - tRANSYLVANIA BOY WINS SWEEPSTAKES ON CORN AT STATE FAIR: Charlie Allison of Pisgah Forest is the champion com grower of the State when it comes to seed com.

Fuett Atlanta, Ga., ' Nov.—What would your town do tomorrow, were it sud* •i&nly stricken by disaster? • The question is not as foolish as it may sound to people who are living i;urlay in safety and happiness and who no more anticipate disaster to- norrow than they do the end of the vvorld. For no one knows when or where lisastor will strike. There was no warning of the San L^rahcisco earthquake and fire. One noment the people of that mighty- city were bustling about their business, atterly devoid of fear or premonition; i-he next their entire world was tum bling about their eafs. One morning two miles of the city of Atlanta, Ga., were swept by fire in less than four hours. Wall street never expected a bomb explosion until it came and killed more than thirty people and maimed scores of others in less time than it ^akes to read this paragraph. Even gathering storms and rising floods, such as the south has known on its coasts and at river cities like West Point, Ga., grve scant warning before homes are inundated and people forced to flee for their^lives. To any one at say time, tornado, fire and storm may brins peril and suf fering. So the question ' is asked again: “What would your town do tomor* .'ow if disaster struck?” It is to provide an answer to that ciucstion that the American Red Cross has been in existence for years and years. It is the recognized official agency for disaster relief, and it has iive<i up to its responsibilities in a wonderful way. Tbat Is One reason way the Red Crosi- deserves the fa^n’iort of every one ou its Fourth Roll —to main tain it so that, ^hen disaster strikes, the stricken will always have a help ing hand to turn to, the American Red Cross. The disaster relief part of the Red Cross organization has been so thor* oughly perfected that it can answer calls for help in the briefest possible time. People of the south well remember how promptly the Red Cross respond' ad to the need during the West Point flood last year, the Corpus Christ! storm' and j^everal other southern dis* aaters, while fresh in the memory of the entire country is the fact that Red Cross doctors and nurses were “first on the scene” at the Wail street explosion. In addition to furnishing such prompt relief as this, practically ev ery Red Cross chapter has a per manent disaster relief committee, which has made a survey of resources in their respective communities and is prepared to act promptly with the means at hand when disaster occurs. Illustrative of the genuine need for just such preparedness as this in the United States is the ^ct that, Jast year alone, the Red Cross aided 30,- 000 persons in 164 communities, all victims of 73 separate and distinct dis asters. RESOLUTIONS: Whereas the Almighty Father has deemed it wise to remove .from our mMst, Mary, the little daughtelr of our brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. H. A.

TOXAWAY NOTES: Mr. and Mrs. Manly Powell of Ros- man, are moving to Toxaway. Will, the small son of Mr. and Mrs. Chi^lie Woods, is seriously ill with Pneumonia. Miss Norma Chapman spent the week - end with friends in Toxaway. Rev. A. J. Manly, pastor of the Toxaway Baptist Church, preached a very interesting sermon Sunday, Nov. 7th, 1920. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Owen’s small child has been seriously ill, but is improving. The recent entertainment given by Toxaway school was a success in ev ery particular. Tl^ house was filled to its fullest capacity with eager pat rons. Eeach pajrticipant of the pro gram did credit to himself as well as to the school. Each No. was heart ily enjoyed by the audience, as was evidenced by the unceasing encoring. Let it not be forgotten that one of the best'numbers was the clear, con cise and appropriate educational ad dress delivered by 'Hon. Chas. B. Deaver. His subject was “the mak- College lanta. Here we were given some good classes on livestock. When we arrived in Atlanta Sun day morning we were given a ten( in the fair ground with a North Carolina banner flying from ‘ the top.

No Raise in Car Fares. A conference of officials of the Southern Public Utilities company from Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Green ville and Andersen was held at the of fice of President Z. V. Taylor in Char lotte recently. The conference was tor the purpose of discussing furtheif possible economics in operation whereby the company, it was an nounced, hoi>es to avoid the necessity for asking ^r an increase in car fares. It has been a matter of general knowledge for sometime that the Southern Public Utilities companjtj was contemplating an applicat).on for an increase in car fare from seven to eigSit cents to take care of increased operating expenses, including an in crease effective September 1 in tho schedule of ewages paid to street car men. President Taylor stated that the company had delayed making Applica tion in the hope that there would be such a decline in the cost of material and supplies as would enable the company to continue operation at present fares. While there has not as yet been any decline In prices of street railway supplies the recent de cline in prices of commodities in gen eral has stimulated this hope, and at the conference this hope wad fwtJie^ strengthaned. «•> 'Responding to the call that has come from the Board of Missions of the Methodist Church, in behalf of the suffering people of Poland; the Brevard Methodist Church is conduc ting an old clothes campaign. A committee has been appointed to col lect, any clothes that you may like to give, and on next Tuesday. Nov. 16th, every Methodist home in Bre vard will be visited by some^ member bf this committee. Please look over your wardrobe, and see if there isn’t something you can spare to send to these destitute people of Poland, and have them ready when the committee shall call. Clothes for men, women and children, shoes, coverlets, and gauze for hospitals as well as soap are ^mong the things asked for. We hope to have a hearty response from ^ in so worthy a cause. , Mrs. J.
