THE BANKHEAD HIGHWAY
. In our last issue wo j-nnted a re
port rf !n Jnie-vie- with 1 1
lary of this association which con
t.ea rtewi that we know was most
gratifying to every loyal citizOn of
lteldsvill'.' and Kockingham county,
From Mr. Rountree's rsmarks It la
apparent that the route already adopt,
ed at Greensboro, and ratified by the
Birmingham convention, will only be
changed on the recommendation of the
Government imglneer, and apart from
a:iy selfish intersts, we do not believe
a better route could be laid than thai
j by way of Greensboro, Reidsville,
! Panville and Lynchburg. It Is the
i logical route, If the Idea Is the con
centration of men and material at
coastal points for defence of the na
tion. W)re a more scenic route, or
one embracing historic points of our
State, a desirable feature of this high
vsy, it Is possible that some changed
r.iukl be suggested, but if the ellini
! nation of unnecessary mileage, and
quick transp.f ation are the ejsor.i.il
lealures of th's devlopmeut, th -a the
route adopted Is the logical one. s
matters stand now, wo ha the a--nuranca
th.il fHs highway will Ik
ctnstructel In the near fuM , iA
that Reidsville will be located on it.
This whi; matter -ilavehiplnft
by leaps and bounds, and with a sur-
! p. islnly smt!l amount of ag.tatlort
or public' v ,. It came to the notlc
'. the Ooi 'J ! fwd.i Committee of the
C mmercl.d mid Agricultural A-MH'ti

A delegate' i - ent to Gilaensb', , ami
fut up a fj fight again)-' Pniliam
and Raleigh which points had the sup
port of Col. Benehan Cameron and
Dr. J. Y. Joyner, and prevailed. A
lelegate was also sail to Birmingham
who ropretlmted both Reidsville and
Spray, and the Greensboro decision
was confirmed, and as tlready stated
anly the strong-eat reasons can pre
vail now to alter the routing.
The value of toeing on this highway
Is made apparent through the tre
mendous efforts of other sections to
jecure a plaoe on the highway.
Three counties in Missleslppl, where
l fight has developed, have issued
onds for over a million dollars, and
ilready building highways themselves
m the pure chance of bing accepted.
Two altbrnatlve routes are offered
there, one only will be accepted, but
lioth parties are so anxious to secure
ihe prizft that a million dollars are
thrown into the scale, and tho high
ays through that vljctlou being con
structed by local capital In an effort
to Influence the decision of the um
pires. The route will nut cost Rock
Ingham county on cent more than we
would ordinarily expend upon putting
Lb''; highway into decent shapo, and
all that Is asked of our people is an
i .
We can't make that statement much broader nor can we
well make our st ck more ompbte than it is.
For every need in the lumber line you can well afford to
tome here, een ifou have to ame a lonjr distance.

increase in membership of the local
association, at a cost of $1.00 pr an.
num. Reidsville should have at least
100 numbers in Its association, and
we most heartily recommend It to our
people.
The Swarthmoe Chautauqua opened
at Klizabteth City on Thursday, with
an address by Peter McQueen, noted
war correspondent, on the European
War, and rrom the accounts In the
paper it was a most magnificent talk
upon a live topic, reter Mcyuenn nas
had more experience as a war corres
pondent than probably any other man
living. He has the facutiy or paini;
inK word Pictures thaat bring vivhlly
before the mind's teye a graphic of the
sirmrct. His addrscss at Elizabeth
City was declared TTthose who hoard
htm. to be worth many times more
than the price of the ticket for the
tun aprin of the Chautauqua. He was
arrested in France as a German spy;
ha fen action by the allied troops
under every coneivable conditions; has
visited the concentration camps where
prisoner are kept; was a corn-spend
ent during the Boer War, and has a
mind stored "with wonderful exper
leneea of a varfud care?r. He is quali
fied to expreses an opinion on thte part
America will play in the struggle, and
does so in a a most illuminating man-
iwr when he comes to Reidsville
no ons should' miss th opportunity of
hearing him.

Mr. MncQueen, who Is to lecture
at the Chautauqua hire, has nmrty
strange stories and quaint yarns t tin t
lie fdi l;ed up while truvellnir around
the globe. While In the lilghlunds of
Scotland lie met a canny old Scot,
who nuked him. "Have you ever 'heard
o Andrew .: Carnegie - in America?"
"Ves. Indeed.' replied the tmvolei
"Weol," said the Scot, pointing to n
little st renin near by, "In that wee
hum Andrew nnd I c tight our first
trout together Andrew .was-a bare
footed, bareheaded, ragged wee callen
no tjiucklo guld at ouythlng. But he
gaed off to America, and tlicy say he'i
doln' real weel."
"FEAST OF TABERNACLES."
In a remarlfll ! article In tho Con
Wgntlonallst, LoMon, written liy Lin
coin Wirt on the uplift movement ut
I Chautauqua week In a community,
the Cliai)taiiiua Is referred to very ap
propriately In seeral dlrteient ways,
as follows: "The encyclopedia of the
common people." "The country folk,
university," "The feast of the taber
nacles." The uitlcle was also copied
In part In the Literary Digest.
Mr. Wirt says that it Is only aftei
swinging a roup-" -.the Chautauqua clr
cle and looking Into the fates of mau.v
thousands of thoughtful, prosperous
American citizens that one can begin
to realize that here has arisen almost
In n night one of the greatest educa
tlonal movements of history.
GETTING OUT OF THE RUT.
Going to a Chautauqua Is tike grab
Mug hold of your bootstraps and lift
ing yourself out of the little old rut
u to which every man works himself
in the course of twelve months. Hv.
ry man needs to take a look out to
ihe horizon at least once a year. Tho
Chautauqua affords you the chance.

DR. CAROLINE E. GEISEL.
In these anxiou, times while the na
tion is working toward greater cfi.'ien
cy and preiaredness of every sort the
watchword for all of 113 Is health
This is the theme of the lecture given
by Dr. Geisel of Battle Creek, Mich
Preparedness for life, preparedness for
the duties of wifehood and citizenship,
are the special topics, which are em
phasized. The Kankakee (Ma.) Demo
crat of Feb. 1, lf)17, says:
"It has been a long time since nny
gathering In. Kankakee lias listened to
a more thoughtful and deep reaching
lecture man mat given yesterday aft
ernoon by Dr. Geisel. She was Inter
rupted by frequent applause, and the
audience left the building feeling both
thrilled and thoughtful. Dr. Geisel
enumerated at length the several needs
of women.. Some of these needs are
health, proper food and clothing, edu
cation, organization and the .iroper use
of the ballot In order to -protect' her
Interests. But, according to Dr. Geisel,
woman's greatest need Is a proper tit
ling of herself for the function of moth
erhood, not only physically; but men
tally, spiritually and morally. A womv
an who has brought to perfection these
attributes.--one who is strong in body
and mind, brave of soul ai d character
Is .host Titled to bring children Into
the world. In this way she is the most
patriotic of all citizens. . for she has
helped her country In tlie best possible
manner by giving it men worth while.
In her tribute to motherhood Dr. fleisel
reached the sublime."
Dr. icisel's lecture here will be a
part of the general prepa redness cam
paign undertaken by the Chautauqua
The slogan . adopted is "Live a little
longer," and. besides Dr. Oelsel, Frank
Dixon Ih to deliver a lecture of a sim
ilar type.' bis subject being "Uncle
Sam. M. D."
PAUL FLEMING, MAGICIAN.
"John, what are you doing with this
half dollar in your ear?" John looks
surprised and is delighted to find the
magician plucking half dollars at ran
dom from his ears, his side pocket
and from the air near by. He was
not conscious that he was such a man
of wealth, but there Is the fact before
his eye, and seeing Is believing.
A deck of playing cards 's not usual
ly given to dancing, in public at least,
hut Magician Fleming makes that do
this stunt
Orange trees do not usually grow in
this climate, but Magician Fleming has
developed a new kind of orange tree
which grows and blossoms and pro
duces ripe fruit all before the audi
ence's eye and In the course of a very
few moments.
Spirits usually require a medium
with a darkened room, but Taul Flem
ing guarantees to produce tLese spirits
in full view of a Chautauqua audience'
with only the facilities of a Chautau-!
Qua stage. Ilia Is a rare program and '
on unusual to the Chautauqua plat
form. It will be a great treat for the
youngsters, and many i f the oldsters
will find it equally enterta'Dlng.

Vulcanizing As An Art
During the past few years, proper
vulcanizing has become to be an art,
mechanically speaking, and during the
past few months, all patrons have
given us credit of being artists of par
ticular ability In this sDeclal line
We are experts in vulcanizing, and
have the most complete and lateBt
machinery that is possible to buy.
i YOU NEED NOT BE AFRAID

WHILE IN OUR SHOP.
We will actually make' your old
tire, which you probably think Is
ready for the scrap pile, just as good
as new, and all this is done at an
exceedingly low figure to you.

tion, then after they get beyond your
own keeping, Is where we step
in to increase their longevity.
MORAL:-
Should you discard your old worn
tires? Should a man throw away to
morrow's meal ticket, just because he
has dined sumptuously today? There
Is no better service we can offer, if so
we would have it.
