About It'll ' years ;ik 1 In n was an ortfani za'ticn in this town known as the Cood Fellows Club. Tin- membership was composed of busi ness men and civil leaders who met once a month at. a -upper meeting and discussed in Kcneral the lopics of interest to the community at that ti'-'f. ISesides thrashing ,,u! problt'ins of a general- nann e. a spirit of uiiseUishness wa (U'Veloped because of the clos' contact and fel lowship that was all'oi'ded by such trat hcrintfs. The club was' local in its entirety, no! be-inu- al'ili ced in any way with any organization. !;,.,;..!,. ,. ; fact that it was absolutely local many projects were carried out that today stand "out as sonic of the major things ever accomnli-hed by the community. From what wc can learn, the paving proyj-ani idea was sup ported ;;;u! made a .reality by the ' .'odd .'Fellows' Club. Then ate at ieast a score of men in Way nesville t hat will readily, join such an. oi'Kaniza. tion, and certainly this time affords an unex celled opportunity for the men to Ret together and thus create a spirit of l'rieivdliness that will ult imately briny here outside capital and 'other things that .vill help in 'many ways. There is also another feature of .such a club, and that is the fellowship one would get from such an organizaltion. Since times have been "below normal" the average business m;m's face has been long unci has taken a more or less hard-boiled attitude At meetings such as the Cood Fellows Club once had, the spicy programs mixed in with constructive ideas tended to make one forgd: business for a time and enjoy some of the happiness there is in life which is a Hord ed by mixing .with fellow-townsmen. The cost of being a nijember of the former club was Only the meal, and certainly with a revival of such an organization, there is no one who would not come in. and become an active member. Every day we speak of the good old days and usually, wfth a longing, wish for them again then, why not revive some of the things that made the old days pleasant memories? This paper is one hundred per cent for such an organization. . - THE (iOLF COURSE AND THE COMMUNITY One of the biggest assets it hat any tourist community can have is a golf course, because today the average person on a vacation resorts to golf for a pastime and recreation, and a com munity without ample golf , facilities usually suffers because of it. This community is fortunate in having one of the best courses in a small community that we know of. Certainly there are few that afford a more beautiful setting than does the one owned and operated by J. M. Long at IlazeL WOOd.' ; From a financial standpoint we know little about the local course, but we are of the opinion that it is more for civic pride and the benefit of the community that Mr. Long continues to spend money on it and improve it as he is do ing extensively this year, than it is for profit. There is more expense to operating a golf; course than the average person or player would think, and since it is a distinct asset to this community it is the duty of the citizens here to take an active interest in it and see the Mr. Long is encouraged to carry en the work that really brings more to the community than it brings to the owner. .''' Stay put even a postage stamp is no good unless it sticks. In a single year of the depres'sion Ameri cans spent 4,000 million dollars for amusements. Both evil and good tendencies are inherit ed. We are taxis in which our ancestors ride. We don't expect much of our President, only that he be a combination of Moses, De monthenese, St. Paul and Santa Claus. A CANNERY IS NEEDED IN ILUWOOD Some months ago The Mountaineer edi torially said that one of the greatest needs in Haywood County was a cannery. Since that time we have been giving 'the subject some thought, and today we are convinced more than ever, that we are letting thousands of dollars go away from here annually because of the lack of a cannery. There are few counties that could siippor a cannery better than Haywood. In this conn, ty a greater variety of vegetables, berries and staple cannery products can I.e. grown than i: any area in the state; yet the crops have to be marketed when they are ripe or lost :o th grower. A cannery would eliminate that, a- i.t would take up the surplus and pay prevailing prices for the crops. in Haywood County a cannery could operat.. more months a year than in most places, be cause of the long season in which ''here would be canning materials available. From early spring to late fall when apples could be canned, an average size cannery could operate full time in this county. Statistics show that during the past few years the general iivrul of population has been to move from the farms to urban centers. With this fact, it is only reasonable that those people use canned goods at least nine months in the year, which shows ihai the demand for canned goods is far from decreasing. The apples that go to waste in this county each year would bring in nough cash to go a long way towards paying the ioi'ia! cos! of a modern, cannery. Our hopes are that some -day, someone will realize just what Haywood oilers a cannery, and establish one here. COMIM; 10 WAYNESVILLE TO RETIRE Last week a stranger stopped in this oilier, and started asking a few questions about the county, town and this section. We answered the questions as best we could, and he seemed interested. After a general conversation we found he was a wealthy business n'in, just roaming around over the country enjoying the scenery and 'meeting people, that he had never contacted before. He seemed impressed with the natural ad vantages of this section, and (hen said he Was impressed with business conditions here. Iieing a successful business man he could readily see through the business life without an explana tion. We learned since, that he made the state ment before leaving to a business man that he was retiring soon and intended to spend the remainder of his days in Waynesville. The sin cerity in his voice when he made the statement indicates he meant it. This little incident, along with many others, 'leads us to believe that this community is des tined to attract many more like him, which is something worthwhile to look forward to. . WHAT CAN WE RAISE AS A CASH CROP? This question is often asked by the farm ers. Wre submit this list in hope that our read, ers will write in further suggestions. There are many items that can be grown in this sec tion and sold for cash, many of them are either hot raised at all or raised in such small quanti ties that they do not supply 'the market. Wo still import in this section a large portion of the feedstuffs and foodstuffs that are consumed. Onion; This section brings in many car loads of unions. Timothy Hay: This section still brings in many cars of hay from the west, paying heavy freight. Alfalfa Hay: This crop will not only bring a good price here but will enrich the soil as well. Soybean and cow-pea seed; Many car loads of these seeds are brought in each year. In growing soybeans and cowpeas for seed pur poses it is possible for anyone who wants to en rich his soil. Harvesting the seed leaves the entire plant on the ground to improve the con stitution of the soil in addition to the fact that the roots will have been gathering nitrogen all through the growing season.

Dreading a task is harder than doing it. Luxuries often indulged become necessities. We spend $15,000,000 a year for fraudu lent cures. " Chinese children work for one-half cent per hour. .

A Winston-Salem woman ulin ki enjoyed thirty-five years of more than unusual connubial bliss, has is her employ an amusing old neg cook. One (lay, when a box of especially beautiul flowers was left for tta mistress, the cook happened ta( be present. She said: "Yo' husband semi vou all them prettv flowers you g v, Missy?" Certainly, mv husband," wa- ihc response. "Glorv be!" exclaimed the cook, "he suttenly am holdin' out we!!, ain't he?" A certain well known business man here sent this article, saying that he. got a "big kick out of it:" . SAID TH F. PLOWMAN MULE TO HIS Pill,. you are a mulei. . the son of a jacka s. and I am a man nr.de in the image of God. Yet, we work, hitched un together, year in and year out. I often wonder if you work for me or if I w-ork for you. . Verily, I think it a partnership between a mule and a fiwl- for surelv I work as hard as you- if not harder. Plowing or cul tivating we cover the same distance, hut yon do it on four lees and I on two. I. therefore, dp twice as much work per leer as you do. Soon we'll be preparing for a corn crop. When the cron is harvested I rive one-third to the landlord for being so kind as to let me use this small speck of God's universe. One third goes to you, and the balance is mine. You consume . all of your portion with the exception of the cobs, while I divide mine among seven children, six hens, two ducks and a banker. If we both need shoes, you get 'em. Bill, you are getting the best of me, and I ask you, is it fair for a mule, a son of a jackass, to swindle a man a lord of creation out of his substance? Why. you only help to plow and cultivate the ground, and I alone must cut, shock and husk the corn, while you look over the pasture fence and hee haw at me. All fall and most of the family, from Granny to the baby, pick cot ton to help raise money to pav taxes and buy new harness and pav interest on the mortgage on you. And what do you care about the mortgage? You onery cuss, I even have to do the worrying about the mortgage on your tough, ungrateful hide. , About the nnly time I am your better is on election day. for I can vote and you can't. And after elec tion I realize that I was fully as great a jackass as your tapa. Tell me. Willyum, considering thee things, how can you keep a straight face and look so dumb and solemn? I'VE HEARD THAT CAMELS USE. FINER TOBACCOS, AND IT IS CERTAINLY TRUE THAT SINCE I STARTED SMOKING CAMELS I DON'T FEEL NERVOUS AND IRRITABLE ANY MORE. THE KUKIS As late as 1885, one of the world's most incredible methods of healing the sick was still prevalent anion? the Kukis, a tribe in India. TJie physician, not the patient took the medicine or treatment that he prescribed. It's a great pity that the same method is not follow ed among self-appointed health advisers and their friends, "the patent medicine sellers." It would so materially increase the chances of their "patients" to get well. . , .". .'.' ''. ',' i. : ASK Y 0 U R - DO C TOR ALEXANDER'S DRUGSTORE Phones 53 & 54 Opposite Post OA
