A southern tourist in New Eng land this summer concluded to makei some purchases of souvenirs for his1 grandchildren, because they are of old New England stock. He decided that souvenir. replicas of the Bunker Hill monument would be most appropriate and he purchased three of these min iature marble monuments, six or eight, inches high, to which were attached household thermometers. When he got home and examined them he found a stamp on the bottom showing that they had been ‘made in Germany.” Catawba Now Turning 300 Cotton Mills . For centuries the Catawba rivpr rolled its waters calmly through North and South Carolina to the sea. • Indians and white men fished in it and ttsed it as Sj’jnean.vof travel with ! their canoes, fcu£» until Sortie 20' years , ago, the aid of the mighty giant that slept beneath those waters wae not invoked by mankind. But today the Catawba river is turn ing the wheels of 300 cotton mills and keeping five million spindles busy turning cotton into cloth. There are now nine waterpower stations on the Catawba with a capacity of 420,000 horsepower and a storage capacity of 175,000,000,000 gallons of water. Ac cording to A. C. Lee of the engineer ing staff of the Southern Power com pany “the Catawba river, with two j new developments now under construe tion will be probably the finest exam- i pie in America, or in the world for that J matter, of the intensive and intelli gent development of a great natural resource.” Much of this development has come in the last decade. In 1915, the waters of the Catawba were furnishing pow- i er for only 15 cotton Mills with less 1 than 175,000 spindles. Today in addi tion to the 300 mills served, numer- ! ous other industries are provided j with power, and many cities and j towns of the section are furnished | with electricity for lighting and oth-1 er domestic uses. The Catawba presents the specta cle of a mighty river completely har nessed or nearly so, to perform the labor of mankind. There are hundreds i of other streams in this and other sec- j tions of the country that have similar j possibilities. To place their powers at i man’s service is one of the most im portant and necessary tasks of in- i vested capital of the next decade.— preenville News. personals • *********** Mr. and Mrs. Carl Webb and baby spent Wednesday in Winston-Salem.

Indianapolis young people declare that a “date”| nowadays costs $15 for food and en tertainment—if it is a moderately, “big evening,” and at elast $5 if it is any kind of an evening at all. When father was a boy and court- ’ ed mother he was lucky if he was mak-1 ing $15 a week. A “date” usually con-, sisted of an evening in tho parlor with ! the gas turned low. A “big date” would consist of aride in a buggy hir ed at the l»very stable, for 50 cents or 4 strawberry fes'Ivpl at the Methodist ehorch with the limit not more than 50 cents. In those days it was customary to marry young and rear big families. Nowadays later marriages are the rule rather than the exception. Large families are rare and divorces are nu merous. Perhaps the explanation lies in the difference in the cost of “dates” and the subsequent upkeep. Horseless Plow Gets Considerable Crowd There are very few farmers in Clev eland county who have not turned their back on their plow horse for a minute only too look around and find the horse going in a circle around the field plowing up everything in reach but few have ever seen, or at least until this week, a horseless plow go ing around in a circle without a driv er and keeping it up. The freak drew considerable attention as the open ex hibit of Chas. L. Eskridge, Ford and Fordson dealer. The attraction was a big Oliver plow being pulled by a Fordson tractor, the steering of - the tractor being so fastened as to make the tractor turn in a circle and keep plowing. The exhibit included a wood saw ing contest between a F'ordson and a Ford together with a track-grader being towed by a Fordson. The en tire exhibit proved very interesting to the farmers visiting the fair and was also a winning advertisement for the motors.

NEWYORKU.S.A APVERTilSE IINfjTHE CLEVELAND STAR Listen for the “Hum” Here is a nice little story about the form er scientist, Charles Robert Darwin. Two English boys, who were friends of Darwin, thought they would play a joke on this man of science and originator of the ’’Darwin Theory.” (This theory is a form of evolution, which holds that suc ceeding generations of the same species will vary slightly, until finally separate and distinct forms of life are produced). The boys caught a butterfly, a beetle; a grasshopper and a centipede. To the cen tipede’s body they carefully attached the wings of the butterfly, the legs of the grasshopper and the head of the beetle. With this transformed “wampus" they proceeded to Mr. Darwin’s room, where they displayed it, stating they had found a new bug, and asked what it was. Mr. Danyin., examined it, and gravely asked this questiohC it hum, when you,caught it?" » rr hey'assured him that it did: To which he replied: “Then.'if that be so, it is* a htimhutri’* > - This suggests the thought of the ffl$py bogus forms of investment offered to the public.
