THE BREVArD news, BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA
FRIDAY, SEPTEifBER 22, 1922
LOOK TO COMMUNITY’S NEEDS
What Has Be«n Accomplished at Fort
Scott, Kansas, May Be Cited as
Case in Point.
Half a doz«i years ago there were
two years when the wheat around Fort
Scott did not come to harvest and, as
wheat was the only product of the
community the town was left flat.
Even the merchants closed their stores
and moved away.
The ciiamber of commerce decided
that the community needed more di
versity of production. It studied the
situation and decided that the dairy in
dustry would fit logically into Its
scheme. The farmers owned only
scrub cattle, but despite this the cham
ber went down to Kansas City and
induced the big milk users to establish
three shipping stations in the Fort
territory. The farmers were much
surprised to find that they could
get money for milk which formerly
had been used only as swill for hoga
Then the chamber of commerce took
its second step. It organized an ex
cursion and took forty of its most
progressive farmers to that pai’t of
Wisconsin wliere the dairy industry is
most highly developed. It showed
them just what first-class dairy farms
and first-class dairy cattle were and
how such an enterprise is properly
operated. - ;
But the chamber did not stop here.
It raised enougli money to buy a train
load of the best milk cows it could
find in the United States, had them
shipped to Fort Scott and sold to the
farmers at cost, which was Iet»s than
the price they would have had to pay
if they had bought individually. Last
year this community sold half a mil
lion dollars’ worth of milk alone. That
wealth would not have come to Fort
Scott but for the sale of milk. It,
will be spent among the business peo
ple who make up its chamber of com
merce. The country roundabout has
just completed the laying of 22."» miles
of improved roads, a thing that the
farmers had formerly refused to
finance. The whole community is
transforming itself. All of which
comes of taking thought of community
needs and proceeding to supply them.
CARGOES THAT SAILORS FEAR
Either Qugar, Ceffee, or Cotton Aro
Considered Far ,Moro Danoero'js
Than DViMmnitto
"Xt first thought It would seem that
dynamite was a cargo to be carcf^ly
aTQ^ded, but from a sailor’s poi:at of
view there are far more dangerous
cargoes. He dreads, for instance, a
cargo of sugar. Put hundreds of tons
of cane sugar in -casks In the hold
of a vessel and let the ship oteam
through a spell of hot weather. The
odor is' sickening. The sailors cannot
get the .sweet taste out of their
mouths, and crave vinegar or lemon
juice—anything sour. They lose their
appetites and are always glad when
a voyage on which ttie cargo was
sugar is over. Coffee is as disagree
able as sugar, in addition to being
very dangerous.
Cotton is a really dangerous cargo.
If a little oil happens to touch raw
cotton the result is spontaneous com
bustion. A single bale of cotton sat^
nt^ted with such an oil as boiled lin
seed and lying at the bottom of the
hold can be compared only to a slow
match attached to a bomb.
Acids and other chemicals form
dangerous cargoes. Carbide of cal
cium, for example, is more dangerous
than dynamite. Acetylene gas is
made from tills chemical, and the
gas Is constantly given off if the
product is exposed to air.
REFLECTION IN ONE’S TRUST
KEEP THE Cin BEAUTiFUL
Annual Clean-Ups All Right in Their
Way, but There Is a Very Much
Better Method.
The annual spring cl^an-up in Kansas
City lias lieconie a w^l known event.
But why should It be an event? Why
not a continuous process?
Ileceutly an excellent method of
keeping the streets always in repair
has been put into operation. Why
can’t sometiiing of this kind be made
to apply to the cleaning not only of
streets but of yards, lots and other
places th.1t deniaml attention? Therc^
Is provision for street cleaning. * r
course. But the street-cleaning forces
do not receive tlie encouragement and
help they ought to have. Tlieir work
often is nullified or made diflicult by
the carelessness of individuals who
throw papers and various kinds of ref
use where they will be most unsightly
and generally bjectionable.
Keeping a < ly beautiful and clean
all the year aroun*’ not stop with
the operation of : . city department.
It becomes a part : the civic diLty of
every individual; it must be checked
up to every home us v eil as to a
health or street cleaning department.
It may become a matter of habit with
the people. It shoi.:'l be prompted by
pride; a regard for the rights of neigh
bors; for what visitors may lii.'nk of
the city; for the best things in respect
to appearance and public health.—
Kansas City Star.
Bei'ief in Another's Goodness Well
Exp:Iained as the Sympathetic
Affection of Our Own.
Trust is the belief in another’s good
ness on the inspiration of your own.
The ntonient you ask for other grounds
than this, and witliliold your reliance
till it can rest on external proof, you
cease to trust and stipulate for knowl
edge. On the other hand, if the con
fiding temper is so dominant as to blind
you t(t opposing evidence and refuse
the correction of positive experience, it
Incomes a weak credulity. In both
extremes the pure soul breaks with the
clear intellect, becoming its slave in
the one case, and its tyrant in the
other. Tlie genuine sphere of trust is
found in neutral instances, where out
ward proof is absent or in equipoise,
and tlie presumptions of right affec
tion liave the undisputed field to them
selves. And even then, it is not a mere
arbitrary hypothesis, pleasantly fiung
across the gap of ignorance to veil it
with a curtain of painted cloud; not
n p'ere willingness to live in a happy
<! • <ion tHl the rough winds of reality
S! ; .1 dissipate it; but rather, the quick
in^. ’>ct by which the pure heart
.ilzes purity,' and love catche^
i-.ve of love. So that, in its true
exercise, trust is the intuitive, appre
hension of another's goodness by the
sympathetic affection of our own.—
James Martineau.
The Helpful Caddy.
At one of the New England golf
club^: a young lady who is verj- popu
lar . ith her caddies arranged a match
v.'iili an old woman wlio is proud of
mecUocre ability. The young lady,
u good player, wished to lose the game
out of courtesy and for social reasons.
Her opponent was In even worse form
than usual and the girl grew desperate.
She seepied unable to prevent her oi>
ponent from losing. Finally she told
her caddy that she would like to lose
the match. “Ah, miss,” he muttered,
“I didn’t know that. Here I’ve been
stamping on her ball every time it
gets in the long grass.”
Stimulating Home Ownership.
One of the chief ways in which home
ownership can be stimulated is
through the education of the general
public. Of late years It has become
apparent to the leaders in the real es
tate profession that many people have .
not purchased tlieir homes, not
through inabllitj' or imwillingness, but ;
simply because of their lack of '
knowledge. They fear that perhaps
they might find themselves engaged in
a venture about whicli they know
nothing, and hence It does not ap-
peal to their conservatism. The one
l)est method of educating the public
Is by visualizing the processes in- j
volved in the acquisition of a Jiome
and home site. This is best done by ,
having representative men in the In- i
dustries allied to home construction
brought together at an exposition to
show people at first hand wliat has
^been done and what may^be accom- •
{dished in the future *nd to give them"
authoritative inforinaiion and definite
costs.
Butterflies Eye-Spots.
W’hat do the eye-spots on butter
flies’ wings mean? The naturalists say,
frankly, “We do not know.” It is
thought that tliese ej-e-spots may h.ive
some utilitarian application. They form
one of the most intricate of all nat
ural designs. The fact that butter
flies have been captured with their
eye-spots pierced, as if from the at
tack of birds, has beeh used as an
argument In favor of the view that
they must be “protective markings,”
imltatlnif eyefe because birds strike at
the eyes of their victims. But this
suggestion is hrrdly regarded as satis
factory. Among butterflies the most
striking examples of eye-spots are
found on the under surface of the
wings.
Culture.
“Don’t talk to me about colleges I**
scoffed the self-made man. “Look at ‘
lueJ Do you suppose I would have
been any more successful than I am '
if I’d had a college education?” \
^ **No,” admitted the professor, “but
'*3Tou might have been less inclined to *
brag about it.”—Judge.
We Shall Double Our Efforts.
Sir Arthur Conan ‘Doyle says
there’s an opportunity to worlc In
beaven. Now that’s sometliing liko^a
heaven: - 'Boston Transcript
Long Period of Mourning.
Mourning 'fashions In some of the
foreign quarters go to lengtlis that to
the average American seem unreason
able. For Instance, in the Sicilian
quarters, Nvhen the father of a family
dies, his wife and daughters are ex
pected to dress In mourning indefin
itely. No matter how young a girl Is,
she is expected to wear dead black all
through her girlhood until she Is en
gaged to be married. Of course,-, the
rule is not closely observed, but no
girl breaks It, even with the consent
of her mother, without coming in for
some criticism. Three years of wear^
ing mourning are qufte usual.—New
York San.
Immense Production.
Some idea jof the productivity of the
volcanic soil of Hawaii may be had
when it Is stated that wliile there are
only 109,310 acres devoted to sugar
oane, t^o aimual average production
of this area is 540,248 tons of sugar,
^^ hile Cuba with a cane, acreage of
approximately 1,500,000 acres in har
vest annually produces a yearly aver
age of 3,500,000 tons of sugar. It is
aimed that In no part'of the world
'e such 'im{Woved and intensive dET
■ural methods used as in HawiiU.

A DAY’S WORK DONE
Do the EYES feel more played-
out than the BODY when your
days* worfe is done?
Can you read your evening pap
er without squinting, without be
coming sleepy, or having your
>yes burn?
If you are acquiring the habit
of dropping off to sleep, over your
newspaper, it is a sign that the
eyes are tflfed, and demanding
rest. It is evidence that the daily
routine is getting to be TOO Much
for them.
This condition is unnatural, and
unless corrected, will seriously in
jure the delicate nerves and musc
les of the eyes.
The thing to do, is to consult
a RELIABLE OPTOMETRIST —
one in whom you can place confi
dence. The right scientific at
tention will bring your vision up
to normal.
