(By L. A. AMMON)
C. C. Yongue and Ed. McCoy
have definitely decided to have their
flock of hens bood tested for white
diarrhea. Others are figuring on
" the same. Will give an added val
ue to the eggs or baby chickens.
Will sell first. Can raise a greater
perecent of chicks from such flocks.
Our corn crop looks to be from
one-third to one-half better than
Madison County's.
Mr. Jack Ash worth brings in a
Porterician sweet potato, that weighs
four and one-half pounds, and ex- :
pects to find some larger.
To keep sweet potatoes, first you
must dry them out by sweating in
pile and then sunning, or by heat at
85 degrees for two weeks, or by
putting a bushel to bag and hang in
warm dry place till dry. After dry
hole in ground on board floor, and
cover six inches wih dry sraw, and
two feet of dirt.
One man has suggested that the
two large incubators could be used
to dry our potatoes for home use.
Ought to work fine, if cost is not too
high.
No killing frost as yet, but nature
has done a years work, and the
beautiful Fall colors are coming
just as usual. Nature takes her
rest.
Riverside Farm is said to be mak
ing a good grade of sirrup from un
stripped cane. The sampe looked
and tasted good. Sure cuts the
cost of producing sirrup.
Hens not laying before cold wea
ther will hardly begin before Jan
uary. About time to put all in the
house and keep their noses to the
mash hopper, to bring them into
laying soon. A good Fall lay is im- I
possible without keeping in house .
till fuo ro'clock each day. In hous- 1
ing you must see that the green j
is. furnished, and straw to make
them exercise.
The mash should be twenty per
cent animal meat or fish meal, and
the scratch feed a general mixture
of grains, with yellow corn as base, j
Feed from ten to twelve pounds of ,
scratch per hundred hens per day. |
Ten for rushing into laying, then j
let up and feed about the same of j
scratch as they eat of mash.
Now is the time to put in rye and [
wheat to have the least cheat.
A letter from the Mixson Seed
company doesn't give us much hope
of selling rye unless the price of
cotton picks up. Farmers consider
cover crops luxuries , and leave them
off in tight places. Leave a little
hope for November. Price is low
enough.

BREVARD HI SCHOOL
WINS 7 TO 6 OVER
HENDERSONVILLE
PLAY CHRIST SCHOOL TEAM
HERE FRIDAY
The Brevard High School eleven
won their first game on the local grid
Thursday, by clearly outplaying the
Hendersonville high school by the
score of 7 to 6.
The game was full of features,
high honors being carried off by
Jack Trantham, who was easily star
of the game. He played his half
back position with the show of an
old grid man, carrying the ball for
a gain again and again and was in
every tackle. Osborne, Clayton, T.
Whitmire also played well for the
local boys.
The only goal made by Brevard
was- made on a pass from Osborne to
T. Whitmire for thirty yards and a
touch down. Osborne kicked goal. I
Allen scored the touch down for (
Hendersonville, but missed the kick, j
Nine first downs were charged to |
Brevard while only eight went to
Hendersonville, the local boys being
a little too frisky and causing off
sides.
The game was accorded the best
that has ever been played in Bre
vard by the hundreds of fans. The
cheer section was one of the features
of the game.
? Coach Coleman deserves much
credit for the teamwork displayed,
the boys showing that they had been 1
are under a first-class coach.
The local boys meet the hard
fightnig Christ School team here
Friday afternoon on the home
field and the best game of the
season is expected.

The good people of that commun

each noon-hour period were indeed
sumptuous.
W. M. Henry was re-elected mod
erator, and proved himself, as usual,
a good presiding officer.

COMMITTEE NAMED
FOR SCOUT WEE
CHOSEN FROM DIFFERENT OR
GANIZATIONS OF CITY
In anticipation of national Girl
Scout Week, which will be fittingly
observed here the week of October
23-30, a community committee has
been organized to sponsor the local
Girl Scout activities. The commit
tee follows: Chairman, Mrs. S. M.
Macfie; vice-president, Mrs. Beulah
Za chary ; secretary, Mrs. T. H.
Shipman. Other members include,
Mrs. 0. L. Erwin, Mrs. Elzie Ham
ilton, Mrs. David Ward, Mrs. Oliver
Orr, Mrs. H. A. Plummer, R. W. Ev
erett, J. S. Silversteen, A. H. Kizer.
The members of this committee rep
resent the various civic and relig
ious organizations of the town.
The duties of this committee will
be to supply leaders for troops, se
cure leaders who are efficient along
various lines of Girl Scout manage
ment, including the giving of badge
tests to members, to supply chaper
ones for scout hikes, parties and va
rious other activities, to supply a
room for the meetings, to carry on
necessary drives for scout funds or
membership, and to stand back of
the Girl Scout movement in every
way possible.
There are two troops now in op
eration with a total of about 50
members, of which Miss Bertie Bal
lard and Miss Annette Patton are
captains. New leaders to assist
Miss Ballard with Laurel troop No.
1 are Mrs. R. E .Lawrence and Miss
Elizabeth Welch. Assisting Miss
Patton with Laurel troop No. 2 are
Mrs. A. H. Kizer and Miss Hennes
see. "
COMMUNITY CHEST
CAMPAIGN STARTED
DRIVE BEING MADE FOR TOTAL
OF $1600
A Community Chest campaign was
launched in Brevard Tuesday morn
ing when a conlmitee of representa
tive met from four different organ
izations of the town, namely, the
Associated Charities, Red Cross,
Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, all of
which organizations will participate
in and benefit by the chest drive,
which will be made Saturday, Oc
tober 30, with the goal in view of
raising $1600.
This qfuota, which , was deter
mined by the committee, will be di
vided as follows: $700 to go to
the Associated Charities, and $300
to each of the three other organiz
ations mentioned.
The town will be divided into
zones and leaders appointed to car
ry on the drive, which it is expected
be brought to a successful comple
tion in the one day, which will be
the last day of the observance of
national Girl Scout Week. Public
ity will be given this campaign at
the Sunday morning services of the
different churches and also at the
union services held Sunday evening.
The combined forces thus organ
ized to raise necessary funds will
economize time and effort on the
part of the solicitors, and save more
or less annoyance to the contribu
tors.
Brevard is falling in line with
other progressive towns and cities
in putting on this community chest
drive, but in order to reach the
required goal, it will be necessary
for the people to give generously.
Judging from the demonstration of
warm hearts and open pocketbooks
of the people of the town and coun
ty for the recent Florida sufferers,
it is no more than can be expected
that a much greater manifestation
of generosity will be evident in this
worthy drive which benefits our own
local people in these four avenues
of community activity.

AIRCRAFT COMPANY
HOLDS HIGH RECORD
GOOD DIVIDENDS ARE BEING
PAID PROMOTERS
The Brevard Aircraft corporation
is proving !$. highly successful enter
prise and has made a remarkable
record in the short history of its ex
istence.
Since its establishment less than
a year ago, the organization has
declared dividends of almost 50 per j
cent, or at least such will be the
case within a very short time. Two i
dividends of 10 per cent each have '
been paid the stockholders; a divi
dent of 12 per cent has been paid j
back into the company for the han
gar and other equipment; and have!
undivided profits not yet due enough
to pay an additional 15 per cent
dividend, making a total of practic
ally 50 per cent profit that has been
realized, or will be at an early date.
It is claimed that this company is
the only one in North Carolina, or
probaby in the South, that does
aerial mapping. The company has
i just completed the contract with
, Chas. E. Waddell company, Ashe
ville engineers, of mapping the south
Asheville water district. A contract
is now signed for the mapping of.
several miles of railroad right of |
way in Asheville, which work will
begin at an early date. Other map- |
ping work is lined up t'o do before ,
| the first of the year in the Lake
Toxaway and High Hampton sec
tions.
In addition to the mapping fea
ture, a general passenger business
has been engaged in, exhibitions at
fairs, and several long: cross-country
flights. The longest flight and the
one accomplished in record breaking!
time was the trip to Texarkana, '
Texas, a distance by air of 863
miles made in 10 hours and 34 min
xes in one day, with three stops.
Other flights have been made into
Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia.
Aerial photographs have been made :
of numerous real estate develop- j
ments throughout Western North |
Carolina, and of many places of in- .
1 terest in different sections.
About the first of the year a trip
is anticipated to Cuba to do mapping
| work of the rice fields and sugar
plantations. !
j Of the hundreds of flights made
. by the Waco model plane, there
have been no wrecks, no mishaps of
any kind, or the slightest endanger
ing of lives, under the efficient pil
oting of M. A. C. Johnson, of the
U. S. Air Reserve corps, and a
Brevard resident. |
j Officers of the Brevard Aircraft
I corporation include: President, J.
' S. Bromfield, vice-president, M. A. j
j C. Johnson; secretary-treasurer,
' Jerry Jerome. The seven directors
i are, A. H. Kizer, Walter Hart, C.

SUPERVISOR WELL PLEASED
WITH LOCAL WORK
"The Brevard High School has |
one' of the best equipped agricul-j
tural departments in the state as
Well as ranking among the first in
the quality of work being done,"
announced Roy H. Thomas, super
Visor Agricultural Education, follow
ing a visit of inspection to this 1
school.
"J. A. Glazener, in addition to
teaching forty boys in school, did an
outstanding piece of work with
poultry in the community the past
year," said Mr. Thomas. "In a
community hatchery, erected on the
school grounds, approximately 18,
000 chicks were hatched in the
spring and distributed in the com
munity. The hatchery was erected
by seventy-two persons of the com
munity.
"With the increased interest in
poultry there followed a demand
from the people for help in housing,
feeding and caring for the poultry. 1
A tour of the community with the
teacher of agriculture showed that
many houses were being remodeled, j
new houses being erected and a
number of persons had started in
poultry on a commercial basis."

CITIZENS TOSUPPORT
BAND FOR NEXT YEAR
NEW QUARTERS TO BE HAD IN
ERWIN BUILDING
The Brevard Band, one of the
local organizations of which every
citizen is proud, has been assured
for next summer's' entertainment of
visitors and home folks. The new
quarters were made possible by the
generosity of O. L. Erwin who do
nated the room for band headquar
ters on the third floor of the Erwin
building. The Brevard Light and
Power Co., contributing electric
light for the use of students and
concert practice, and a number of
citizens who have financed a ' class
fund."
This announcement has been made
by band master F. J. Cutter. After
Prof. Cutter completed his contract
to furnish semi-weekly concerts on
the court house band stand Septem
ber 15th, it was not definitely known
whether the band would be contin
ued as an organization during the
winter months. Several matters had
to be considered, the most important
of which were, a comfortable band
room and a class sufficient to sup
port Instructor Cutter.
The subject was discussed at a
directors' meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce at the close of the
concert season and a great deal ot
interest was taken in the matter
since the tentative arrangement of
the past summer demonstrated the
material value of the band as an
entertainment feature of the sum
mer season. A committee, headed
by J. W. Smith and Ralph R. Fisher
proposed to undertake the enroll
ment of a sufficient number of stu
dents to insure a profitable c ass
for the instructor. After a canvas
of the business men this committee
received enough support to warrant
an arrangement with Prof. Cutter
to organize a class during the win
ter months and it is expected that
out of this class there will be tal
ent developed, which added to the
organization already existing wi
perfect a band over-rating the ex
cellent performances of the pas
summer.
During the canvass of the com
mittee it became known that many
men and women who were inter
ested in the welfare of the band and
its objects, did not have boys of
tutoring age. These were glad to
have an opportunity to contribute
to a "class fund" which provides h-.
nances for the required number of
students. Each contributor to the
"class fund" has the privilege of
naming a member of the class if he
desires. The plan is a novel one and
provides the maximum amount of
education for the money paid into
the band. There are some vacan
cies remaining in the class althoug
it is expected these will be filled soon
after the opening in the new band
room. Regular rehearsals began
last Thursday evening. The new
band quarters are well lighted and
very comfortable. Good heating fa
cilities have been arranged and the
band room will be warm in the
coldest weather.
The Brevard Band is a most cred
itable institution. Under the direc
tion of Prof. Cutter it has made an
excellent showing. A little over
two years ago it began with a mere
handfull of boys who had no edu
cation in band instruments, and one
or two players with some exper
ience. For a time it appeared that
the undertaking would not succeed
in a town with no more material to
draw from than Brevard had to of
fer; but with the patience of a suc
cessful teacher, Prof. Cutter worked
with his youthful pupils until they
became interested in their own pro
gress and the organization that
provided good musical entertain
ment for two hours two evenings
each week last summer is the result.
The band wishes to thank Mr.
Harris for his generosity in provid
ing a meeting place for the past two
years.
THE PRAYER CORNER
THE EVERY MAN GOSPEL
"Preach the Gosel to the whole
Creation."
I I would share with you , my
I friends, some beautiful thoughts
that came to me in reading on the
THE EVERY MAN GOSPEL
First: God made us all.
We are not the children of
chance, the offspring of senseless
matter and blind force. The Great
Spirit is the Father of our bodies.
1 and the father of our spirits.
1 Let us live bravely, not as mere
beasts but as men and women, diil
dren of God.
I Second: There is something wrong
with all of us, something which
makes it easier to go down than to
go up, and to indulge our passions
rather than to follow our con
science. The Bible tells us, and our
hearts know what that evil thing is.
It is sin, selfishness, which separ
ates us from our Father in Heaven,
and from our brother men on
earth and makes all the trouble in
the world.
| We must escape from it if ????
want peace and a better life.
| Third: There is only one person
who can deliver us, Jjtsu; Christ,
, the Son of God. He came from
Heaven, and lived a sinlevf, life, as
the son of Man and died a sinless
life, as the Son of Man and died
upon the cross to save the world
from sin. He rose from tin dead to
bring immortality to lig: lie is
One with the Father, Gcd is like
Christ, He is Love, Forgiveness.
Mercy, Truth. Everyone who wants
to may come to this Saviour.
If you believe in Him He will
give you a new life.
I lf you honestly try to obey Him
1 in being good ano doing good, that
will be the test and pro' f of your
true faith. There is no <?' her.
! You don't need to swuuow a vol
ume of theological definitions. Sim
ply come to Jesus, trust Him freely,
follow Him honestly, and you shall
be saved. That is "Everyman*"
