Making molasses is the order of
/ the day. The crop will be very
short, and if you city folk want
some real home-made goods, you
had better place your order soon.
The price is not expected to be less
than $1-25 per gallon this year.
Mr. H .P. Nicholson of Little
River, is hoping to get cans from
tfuart to gallon size, with nice
labels, to put his run of molasses in.
A might v good start to greater bus
iness. Why not more of the golden
syrup of the Transylvania flavor on
the raarke. in real up-to-date om
tainers.
The County Agent goes to Ruther
ford County to judge fairs v?i
Wednesday ot this week, and wiil

?two eighty to three dollars per

If your grass and clover are

TRANSYLVANIA'S
CLUB MEMBERS WIN
IN ELIMINATION
Saturday was a great day for the
County Club ' boys and girls. The
occasion was the elimination con ten
to see what, teams would represen.
Western North Carolina at the
State Fair next month, resulting i*
Charles and Oheal Owen winning i.
poultry and Bonnie Batson and Etfn;:
May Henderson first in Clothing,
and Elizabeth White and Carrie
Lee Watkins second in cooking,
ty contest was- held to pick tin j
teams to represent the county a*
the District contest. At this meet
ing. Bonnie Batson and Edna Ma !
Henderson of Connestee school won !
as Clothing team. Chas, Owen am:
Oneal Owen of l.ake Toxawav wo::
as Poultry team, and Eli;:abe'!
White and Carrie Lee Watkiti-. of
Kosman won as cooking team.
These three teams were given !
special coaching for the Distric; j
meet, and they had to: meet th<*!(
teams from the other Counties.
Did They Win?
After the teams had ali given,!,
their particular dt monstration. th< 1 ,
Transylvania crowd scattered ovc.
town to see kinfolks or to see tht
city. On returning at three O'clock
the winners Were announced; Then
was some rather, undignified actio:,
on the part of the Transvlvahi:
Agents as the three teams had wo:
two first and one second, and in
timated that it should have bee.",
three. '
The two teams winning first place
now have a trip to lialcigh with the :
expenses while there. While tiiei
they must give their demonstrate
daily, in competition with those J
from the other four districts. Met
is hoping that they will carry away
State honors and get a trip to some
larger fair or Washington. D. C.
These boys and trirls have beer
very faithful club members an i
have brought glory to their County,
now some way of paying their fai.
to Raleigh is in order.
No teams were entered in tin .
contest last year, but our Home
Agent was present, and on her
return she remarked that there
would be some strong competition
from this County next 'year. Mis.
Walker sure kept her promise am"
to her untiring effort we mus"
give much. of the credit for the goo<*
showing.
The judges were much impressed
with the natural ability of our club
members, and commented on the |
Jack of stage fright. The qucstior
of stage fright takes us back to
their schools, as is not overcome in
one season. So from their teacher:
we learn that these particular
members have had many leading
roles in plays, speeches and the lik;
in their schools. Here we mu.??
give considerable credit to the!"
teachers.

standards, and pass children t" '

THE PRAYER CORNER
forming habits
We cannot help forming habits;
they are tightening their hands
round us every i!ay, therefore, it e:
vitally important that our outlook
on life, which is steadily hardening
into habit, should be a true one.
Life can be lived, sweetly, nobly,
gladly, in a lonely mountain cabin
just as easily as in a palace. It is
always the invisible that is the real
and eternal, it is always the inside
that counts' most.
We do not :dl stand on the
level ? not because one has roor*
money, or education than another
but because one has extracted
health and beauty from the circ.im
| stances which surround him, while
another has failed to leans the
sons set him in God's great School
of life. People talk of an '-?era- irrtril
event as "a special provjde-nce," fot
getting that eve-y thing is "a spe
cial providence." carefully piar ? I
by our Father for the good of H?
children.
