LANIER LIBRARY 1
REORGANIZED
(Continued from page 1.)
books are purchased constantly
from various funds, among
them that was left in his will
by Carroll Marriott. Many
contributions of current and
valuable books are made by
people who buy them for them- i
selves and turn them in to the
Library after reading. Several
including Mr. and Mrs. Denison
Mr. and Mrs. Holden, i
Miss Mary Beach, Miss Har- (
riet Taylor, Mrs. Gouvernor ]
Calhoun, Colonel and Mrs. Ellis
have contributed groups of ;
books out of their own libra- ]
ries.
Another addition to the ef- n
ficiency of the Library will be i
the Holden Reading Room i
which is to be ready within a
few months. It is the gift of <
James S. Holden of Detroit in
the name of his fater and mo- i
ther who for many years have >
been f nthusiastic and active
citizens of Tryon.
Built on the side of the |
the Club facing the Dr. j 1
Daniel's house, it will consist |j
of one large room with book |:
shelves, fire-place, chairs ta-jl
bles and reading lamps. Read-1c
ers can not be disturbed by 1
what is going oti in the main 5
room as the only entrance will s
be through a sound proof-floor.
Mr. J. Foster Searjes has made 1
the plans and J#r. Creasman <
has the building contract. <

0 Adolph S. Ochs, Publisher of!
the New Ydrk Times, accompanied
by a party of friends,
exjperts to drive from New
York to AsheviUe over the Ash
' route in time to join the main :
autocade here. City officials
aiid civic organizations of
AsheviUe contemplate giving
the distinguished delegates
from states and provinces
north of AsheviUe who arrive
here Oceober 17 a banquet and <
entertainment.
Governor Ritchie of Mary- <
land advises that he is apoint- ;
ing delegates from his state,
the Ash passing through Hagerstown
enroute south.
Major John S. Cohen Publisher
of the Atlanta Journal,
is forming a reception committee
to meet the autocade at the
Georgia Carolina line, near
Murphy and escort them via i
Stone Mountain. Between ]
AsheviUe and Murphy the autocade
will pass through the
boundary of the Great Smoky
National Park area recently
authorized by Congress.
Chambers of Comerce all along
the route are cooperating
in making this the greatest autocakle
ever operated for such
i i
a distance.

manufacturing plant.
There is more or les^ complaint
relative to the ] difference
in the amount bi water
registered in meters where conditions
for using water are relatively
the same. The Legislature
has provided for such
complaints in Article 2731-8233
of Laws Governing Municipalities
passed in 1917. I
quote from the section mentioned:
,'The Municipality shall
provide itself with suitable apparatus
foF testing meteife and
that all meters shall be tested
before being installed. If the
consumer doubts .the accuracy
of his meter, he may file a
written camplaint and deposit
one dollar to cover the cost of
taking out the meter and having
it tested. If the meter
shall over register to the extent
of 2 1-2 percent, the dollar
shall be returned and the
bill properly adjusted and the
meter repaired or a new meter
installed."
The compl&irtant or his representative
can be present
when the test is being made.
It is best however to make a
personal test before making a
written complaint. This can
be done by drawing off a certain
number of gallons of water
reading the meter before and
afterwards. The law also provides
that if the meter is underregistering
as much as 2 1-2
peroent of the water passing
through, the additional amount
of water can be added to the
bill. So it is advisable to cont
vince yourself as far as possible
before you register a complaint.
There is some opposition to
the minimum charge being
made when a party is away for
a considerable length of time
from the City. This would be
a valid objection were it not
that their absence does not in
way reduce the fixed charges
for the water supply, and also
that their property is given the
same fire protection when they
are away as When they are
here.
Over two thirds of the fixed
charges for water is for inters
est on water supply bonds and
and for providing a sinking
fund to pay the bonds as they
become due. The bonds of
course draw interest whether
property owners are in Tryon
or not, and whether any water
is used or not. So the Commissioners
are fully justified in
fixing a minimum charge irrespective
of whether the owner
is occupying the house or
not.
I have been unable to find
any provision in the Law that
permits a Municipality to dis-1
?rrminate relative to the pur-1
for which the water is |
(.a/uv _
jsed where water is sold by
the Municipality under the meter
"system, so long as each
?lass is dealth with equally.
For instance, a boarding house
?an be charged only on the j
same basis as a private resi- j
dence as long as they pay for
the amount of water used.
The difficulty of reducing or
lowering the present rates as i
finally adopted is that we have
so few water users for our
>onded indebtedness. To in rease
the number of water
isers I shall presume to make
iome suggestions in another issue.
|
The agitation on the water
rate aroused some civic interest
but the fact remains thai
nir citizens are wofully ignorint
of the Character and Laws
mder which our City is operated.

is possible.
Considering that Polk is not
a dairying county the campaign
was very successful in
that seven registered hulls
were brought in. The last two
were purchased by the Polk
County Home and Mr. John S.
tYatson. of Green River. Both
:>f these animals are of serviceable
age and the good line of
breeding which they represent
will soon be manifested in the
the next generation of calves
in the communities where the
bulls are.
The County Agent, with the
cooperation of the farmers is
working toward making this
county free of scrubs by replacing
them with purebreds.
This is the only way of improving
the producing qualities
of our future dairy cows.

\T ALUK of health may not be reck*
oned In dollars and cents. Twt
thousand_ years ago there was peraaps
some excuse for the gHStronome
Sut today tHere Is none. The way to
ftealth lies In a balanced diet. Hippocrates.
the father of medicine,
figured along the same lines back -WO
B. 0. He expressed the belief that I
the science of medicine had Its beginning
In the efforts of men nnd '
women to find better and smoother
diets.
Diet In the home today Is becom
lug a matter of premier considers
tton. Women are taking cognizant*
of those Important food elements
known as vltanilnes. They have
learned, nlso, the benefit to the hu
man body of such minerals as Iron,
calcium and phosphorus.
This knowledge has resulted In the
housewife planning her menus with an
eye open to dietary valuds, which Is
the big reason why milk has assumed
such n lartfe place In the menu of the
American famlle. Milk contains even
structural element for body building
It 1b un almost perfect food. I>oRplte
the beat refrigeration facilities, milk
wllf1 keep sweet only a short time
Millions of American housewives havr
solved this big problem -by using evap
orated milk, which Is simply fresh
cow's milk sterilized In cans to
achieve keeping qualities and with
sixty per cent of the water removed
Evaporated milk Is not the seme as
ondensed milk, although many perilous
conftiae the two. The condensed
product Is a combination of milk nnd
sugar cane In a two-fifth cane sugar
and three-flfth milk proportion. Evap
orated milk has nothing but water
taken from It and nothing at all added
Sugar Is the preservative used In
manufacturing the condensed product,
while heat only Is the preservatlvs
for evaporated milk. For this reason
the evaporated product may be used
In any way In which market milk Is
used.

Weigel got so interested in

I boy who would grow the most j
, corn to the acre. The club voted 1
i$75 for the expenses of the 1
boys and girls fair and wished <
Jit all possible success. 1
A rehearsal of a scene from I
Macbeth was given by Mrs. 1
Nelson Jackson, Mr. Weigel, 1
Mr. Jacob Cobb and Mr. Wes- 1
singer and the formal program I
drew o a close with a number r
by Mr. John Weaver. His play- e
ing so stirred the audience that c
a resuest was made of Uncle *
Bill Stearns, who with his usu- s
al hospitality said that if every
body would carry dishes to tiiff*
the rear we could move the
tables aside and dance the Virginia
Reel. When dancers and
musicians were tired out, r.
Weaver played the Arkansas
traveler and Mr. Weigel sang
tome of the old ballads.
After a vote of thanks to
Mr. Stearns for his hospitality
and a request that they be allowed
to come again the members
merrily departed for their
homes.
