'The Ladies Auxiliary, of Long's 'Chapel, Lake Junaluska, met at' the home of the president, Mrs. J.' Dale Stents on Thursday afternoon, May .the eighth. The purpose of the meet ing was to hear the report of the delelgates who attended the district meeting which convened at Bryson City May the first and second. We : had with us Mrs. W. P. Fincher and Miss Cathey, who were delegates to the district meeting from the Clyde : society, and also Mrs. R. E. Hunt, the wife of our pastor. The delegates gave a very inter esting and helpful account of the meeting which enthused all of us and -made us more fully realize that one of the great needs of the church is for women to devote more of their time to the affairs of the kingdom. After the reports of the delegates, plans were made for an all day meet ing of the auxiliary of the county at 'Lake Junaluska in the near future with Mrs. H. A. Dunham to deliver - an address on the different phases of - woman's work. Then a most delicious salad course was served, after which little J. Dale : Stents, Jr. sang, "Keep the Home ' Fires Burning." ' Three members were enrolled at this meeting. Let us hope that each member of the society will be present at the next regular meeting, Tuesday, ' May the twenty-seventh, 2:30 p. m. -. and bring some one with you. Sunt, of Study Circle.

Willis of Atlanta Now Interna tional Distributor of Tanlac One of the Largest Sellers in America Buys Victory Bonds Here. By Harrison Vaughn. Atlanta, Ga.( May 12, (Special Cor respondent). This is a story of suc cess the kind everybody likes to read. Surpassing interest always attends the telling of how a great business has been built. This city presents a very striking instance of remarkable business success, which has been achieved in a very short space of time, The announcement has just been made here that Tanlac, the well known medicine, which readers of this paper have often seen mentioned in the advertising columns, is today the most largely sold medicine of its kind on the American market; that in little more than four 'years' time it has at tained a definite position of pre-eminence among proprietary medicines. Without doubt this statement will be read with the keenest, interest, not only by druggists but by the general public as well, Briefly summarized, the outstand ing incidents in this story of success are: The discovery ol Tanlac; the perfection of its formula by pains taking study, extensive research and exhaustive tests; the beginning of its manufacture in a small way; the in stant demand for the product created by successful use, and finally the es tablishment of the large and magnif icent laboratories at Dayton, Ohio, occupying over 60,000 square feet of floor space, to supply the ever-increasing demand for Tanlac. The daily capacity of 30,000 bottles at this plant has at times, in fact, been found in sufficient to supply the trade require ments. A branch laboratory with 8,000 bottles daily -capacity has been established at Windsor, Canada, in order to supply the Canadian demand. The marvelous expansion of this business will easily stand comparison with any of the remarkable business achievements , of recent times. As one of the largest drug jobbers of the United States said recently, it requires some effort of the imagina tion to realize the amount of business that is now being done by this con cern, adding his Denei tnat tne na tion-wide popularity of Tanlac gained in such a short time is nothing less than phenomenal. This latter statement was made following the announcement in the daily papers that over twelve million bottles of Tanlac had . been sold in four years, up to Jan. 1st, 1919, and that during the first ten weeks of the present year over one million bottles had been distributed thereby estab lishing a record which has perhaps never before been equalled in the his tory of the drug trade. The statement that Tanlac is now the most popular preparation and the biggest seller among all ready-made medicines is declared to be neither a surmise nor an estimate, but is based npon careful investigation and is sup ported by' the signed statements of scores of the largest drug jobbers of the United States and Canada. This now famous remedy has become just as well known across the International boundary line as it is throughout the United States. The broad and progressive policies and the splendid selling organization originated and perfected by Mr. G. F. Willis, international distributor of Tanlac, are among the best examples of the method and system yet produc ed in business and they have been closely followed by many other enter prising and successful concerns. The Tanlac people have always main tained that the best advertisement is a satisfied customer, and to that end have always sought to make custom ers not mere sales and to build up tnat character of public confidence ,- rfintinrt.lv identified by name ana address. They tell very plainly, what was the matter with them and what Tanlac has done for them. , Tanlac advertising has been happily free from the "cure-air exaggeration. In stead of advancing extravagant claims - - . - IKMIIIUIMIlBVa TRIMMING WORDS TO FIT THE CASE , (By Jesse Daniel Boone) When a fellow has some land to sell, he wants a whaling price;. There never was in all the world a plaee so fine and nice; But when he wants to buy a place be takes another view; The soil is poor, ifs all run down, end benefits ore few. Some men wnen trying for a loan, have holdings which are vast; They boost and brag of what they have until the very last; But when the tax man comes around, oh! how the values shrink;. They change their tune of estimates as quick as one can wink.. Why is it when we testify we only tell in part; Why won't we tell tie naked facts, as coming from the heart? Why cover up, or why forget, or why should we evade, As if we had an axe to grind, or we were much afraid ? Yes, these all show how weak we are since Adam and his fall; They show how money will affect the high and low, and all. Our point of view seems to control the things we say and do; The .prospect of a loss or gain will make us false or true. The scriptures teach a better way for men to act and live Your answers should be yea or nay when you would take or give. One should not try to trim his words to fit a certain case Nor shouldn't seek to juggle facts though that would save his face. "Do unto others as ye would have others do to you" Is old-time stuff, I will admit, but it is good and true; And if we'd all adopt this law to regulate our acts Whene'er we testify in court you could be sure of facts. 1 1 BiiiaiiJBiiiaiMiiiHii'iininiFiiin1 MICKIE SAYS f HELP!

Their sensible business philosophy was briefly but forcefully stated by one of The Tanlac executives recently when he said: "With all due regard to the value of newspaper space pub licity alone would not create nor maintain the lasting strength and popularity of this preparation. Tan lac undoubtedly has merit and ex traordinary power as a medicine, which have confirmed its value in the minds of the people. No matter where you go Tanlac is a household word and is one of the most widely talked of medicines in the world today."

High Record of Legislative Achieve ment Out of 43 Measures Pro posed '85 Are Laws And a Special Session Will Catch Up Loose Ends. News and Observer, April 20, From the standpoint of legislation, the Bickett administration in North Carolina is almost a matter of his tory, written in words, pages and whole chapters of legislative achieve ment and establishing a new high record for gubernatorial influence, With two General Assemblies to his credit, the normal legislative span for the four year governor, he yet has a special session in 1920 to an ticipate with the consolation that out of the forty-three measures he has proposed and advocated during his (administration, thirty-five of them have been enacted into law. The Governor's platform of rural life leg islation, with nine specific planks comes out of the legislative machine a finished piece of carpentry. They were proposed in the inaugural, repeated in messages to the General Assembly of 1917 and 1919, and while most of them got through at the first session the remainder went on the statute books this year. Life on the Farm. Concluding, his inaugural recom mendations he said: "I have suggested nine measures, all designed to serve one end, that is, to make life on the farm just as profitable and just as attractive as life in town. What I am trying to do is to focus the thought of the State on the subject, for I know that if I get two million people to thinking of these things with the intensity and constancy their super lative importance demands, some mind . among the millions will find the best remedy for every evil and the best path to every good." Every one of these rural measures urged by the Governor on the day he entered office is now a law; in fact, nearly all of -his recommendations dealing with the social, educational and industrial life of the State have been written into the statutes during these two General Assemblies. Those which failed of passage were mainly of a political nature. The special session to be called m 1920 is, in itself, a part of the Governor's program Advo cated in a message to the lawmakers. That body, it is proposed, will take steps to make effective the now sys tem of taxation which contemplates complete honesty in tax listing and in tax paying with every dollar's Worth of property in the State on the books at its actual value. Still to Be Heard From. It may be that along with the tax legislation, some of the eight laws proposed but which still are without statutory effect may pass. Here are the eight and some of them bring recollections of hard fights with a promise of more to come: The following measures recommend ed by the Governor failed to pass: 1. A bill requiring all vendors of proprietary medicines to file with the State Board of Health a statement showing the exact composition of such medicines, better known as the Open Formula Bill. 2. A constitutional amendment lim iting State officers to two successive terms and county officers to three successive terms, amendment not to apply to officers in the judicial, edu cational and health departments, bet ter known as Rotation in Office Re commendation. 3. A measure providing for the short ballot. 4. A measure providing for the re moval of the Agricultural Department to the State College of Agriculture and Engineering, and for putting both under the same management. 5. A bill to protect illegitimate children. 6. A bill to require application for TiaiTi'agp license to produce health certificates. 7. A bill providing for better en- ' forcement of the prohibition law. 8. A bill to strengthen and purify the State primary law. Recommendations Approved.

GOV. 1 THE VICTORY THEATRE. New Picture Show in Briggs Building Will Give Opening B:ll May 24th at Popular Prices. Capt. C. J. P.

The new place will have an open in Saturday, May 24th with a good program at popular prices: Children 6c and adults 11c. Work is being rushed to get the building ready for the opening. BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR AMERI CAN BUSINESS. Manufacturers Record, Baltimore, Md. From all quarters of the country the most optimistic reports regarding business conditions are continually coming in. The outlook is most en couraging in practically every line. The spirit of optimism is in the air, and it is the confident belief of lead ers in industry and finance that an era of unprecedented prosperity is ahead. Even now many public and private undertakings are being crowded to completion. There is no difficulty in financing proper improvements, and an ever-broadening market for bond issues reveals the temper of the times. Enormous good, road construction is in hand and is being planned, work with which the entire country appears i to be deeply concerned. There is a dearth of dwelling-houses all over the land, and vast building activities can not be long delayed. Everywhere there is a lessening in complaints of unemployment, and the prediction is freely made that before the year is out there may be an actual shortage of labor. In all this present activity and opti mism for the future the South has taken a leading part. The Construc tion Department of the Manufactur ers Record bears testimony to this fact, for the construction news we publish each week, giving projects " and undertakings planned and under way, has more than doubled in space since the armistice was signed. There is room only for optimism in a survey of the field. GOVERNMENT NEEDS STENO GRAPHERS AND TYPISTS. Washington, D. C, April 30, 1919. Large numbers of stenographers and typists are needed in the government service in Washington, D. C, not withstanding the fact that thousands were appointed during the nineteen months of America's participation in the war, according to an announce ment of the United States Civil Ser vice commission. Examinations for both men and women are held throughout the coun try every Tuesday. Usual entrance salaries are $1,000 to $1,200 a year. Full information may be secured from the secretary of the local board of civil service examiners at the post office or custom house in any city or from the U. S. Civil Service commis sion, Washington, D. C. Men who have been honorably dis charged from military or navel ser vice and who left positions in the civil service to take part in the war may be reinstated with examination. v THE DOGGEREL MAX.
