Craig & Wilson SUBSCRIBE TO THE GAZETTE Before Buying A Wagon nowadays, you will do well to investigate the kinds of wood used in the gears and wheels. On account of the scarcity and high price of oak and hickory, many manufacturers are substi tuting birch, maple and elm. You will run no risk on that score if you buy an mfmW&Wb&1l fell Avery Wagon for we guarantee that no other woods than seasoned oak and nickory are used in the gears and wheels. t The felloes are riveted on both sides of every spoke. The ironing is substantial throughout. All gears are clipped not bolted. The Avery is a light-running wagon because the skeins have just the right pitch and gather to keep the wheels from crowding over against the shoulder of the skein on the inside or the skein nut on the outside. Come in and look this wagon over from pole tip to tail board. GASTONIA HARDWARE CO. GASTON I A, N. C.

REGION Of POISE FORESTS 8tream Broken by Rapids and Watar falls and Abounding In Big Gam and Snakes Land cf Big Animals. New York. Heading an expedition to East Africa, which has as Its ob ject the exploration of the Tana river and the hunting of big game, Lady MacKenzle, the woman huntress, la In New York completing details of the trip and arranging to dispose of tro phies obtained in two expeditions she already has made to Africa. Upon her arrival at Mombasa, Af rica, she will remuiq Heveral dnys, su perintending the shipment of nine tons of trophies she has stored .there. These Include many rare specimens of heads and skins of animals, and will be presented to the Bronx Zoological museum, the American Museum of Nat ural History, the Smithsonian Institu tion, and other Institutions. One rare trophy Is the hend and rtln of a garanak, an animal with a neck and hend like a giraffe, which Is sel dom seen In the open, according to Lady MacKenzle, who shot the beast In her forthcoming expedition Lady MacKenzle said she would be accom panied by F. Postma, who was with her on her other hunting trips. Wll- , Ham ("IUH") Judd. who was with Colonel Roosevelt's hunting expedition In Africa; H Shelley, one of Paul Rainey's hunters, and Pete Pearson. The Tana river, Lady MacKenzle said, Is one of the most treacherous streams In the world. It is full Of whirlpools, waterfalls and dangerous rapids. At places along Its winding course the forests are so dense that travel Is possible only by literally climbing over the tops of the trees. The length of the river is estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000 miles. Land of Big Animals. "I am returning to continue work that was Interrupted by the war," she said. "In 1916 I was about to start the exploration of the Tana, and had established my camp at the junction of the Tana and the Tbekl, when I was told I would have to stop. "I appreciate the danger that lies be fore me, but I feel the discoveries that will be made will be worth risking icy life for. What Is along that river can only be guessed at. The Somalia and the Wanderobas have at times reported 'too much elephant,' meaning a great herd or great herds of elephants. At other times they have told us of huge lions, great rhinoceroses, hippopota muses, and other great beasts. I want to And out if their tales are true and to get some specimens. I know that big snakes are to be found along the river, for I have seen them. They are what I really fear. "After I have supervised the ship ment of the trophies, I am going to visit the Masai. I want to take with me a complete surgical and medical outfit. Including a medical man and his assistants. This race, one of the most remarkable in Africa, Is afflicted with an eye disease that closely resem bles trachoma. Unless it speedily la checked, the tribe will become totally blind in a few years. "I also hope to accomplish another mission. The Masai women are practic ing a fonr. of race suicide. They fear that in time the whites will make them and their children slaves and servants. I saw only seven children In the tribe. It is only a question of a short time before this race becomes extinct, un less they ure made to understand the white people no longer make" slaves of black people." How Germans Prepared In Africa. Illtistrntlng some conditions she will face on her trip. Lady MacKenzle told of incidents of her expedition in 1916. She gave an Interesting sidelight on how Thoroughly the Germans In Ger mnn Kast Africa had prepared for the war. She said: "We were hunting lions on the Ger man East African border when one day we saw a party of blacks maneu vering. We could not rcake out what they were doing until they crossed the border. Then we thought they were going to attack the British Africans. Things looked very serious and we de cided to move camp. The rapid ap proach of the blacks forced us to leave hurriedly, but we were able to hide nearly all of our supplies and equip ment. "Three weeks later we reached Nai robi and reported what we had seen. The British authorities sent out run ners to learn what was going on. They reported that the German Africans had seized all the water holes and were occupying other strategic points. This was four weeks after we bad report-! ed. A day or so later news reached Nairobi that Germany had declared war. Thus you can see the blacks In Africa had had orders from Germany to act more than seven weeks before war was declared."
