THE CANNING INDUSTRY.
How Some Things That are AL
lowed to go to Waste Might
be Utilized.

That some men grow rich on
what others waste is one of
those sayings that one is apt to
use lightly, just as one says all
men must die, without apply
ing it to oneself. But ali the |
opportunities for making money |
out of what others waste have
not been used by any means;
they lie all about. The other
day at dinner at the Waverly
hotel a gentleman remarked that
IN the small town of Elkin a
distributing agency paid out
last year for canned goods of all
kinds tomatoes, potatoes, ber-
ries, etc, that had formerly
been allowed to go to waste
over $40, and a gentleman
sitting near remarked that
enough tomatoes go to waste in
Robson county every year to
feed North Carolina.
Which is probably not much
eXageration, if any. And these
tomatoes and other things that
are allowed to go to waste or
that are not used to best advan-
tage, might be converted into
money as easy as falling off a
log, and with very little outlay.
To demonstrate how this may be
done, Messrs. White & Cough
have purchased canning outfit
which will turn out twelve cans
of tomatoes, cherries, berries,
potatoes-a anything of the kind
every seven minutes. Such an
outfit costs only $1,000 and is
within the reach of every farmer.
And it would seem to be the
sort of outfit that no farmer
could afford to be without. 1t
can be operated with little diff
ficulty and there is always a
ready market for canned goods
Of all kinds. Instead of buying
canned goods from other places
it would be as easy to make
; them right here at home.
This is not an advertisement
for the canning ou fit; it is simply
to call attention to a method of
using things that are allowed t.
go. to waste in large quantities.
In some other places thousands
of dollars are paid out to the
farmers for goods that they
! can in this way, for stuff tha
d, they would probably not use a
= all otherwise, and the same
thing of course could be done il
this county.

From Tales of the Town and the Times by Red
Buck, in Charlotte Obserser.
One of the most reliable men l
know is my authority for the
following story. Some time ago,
in the fullness of his heart, a
certain well-known citizen, whose
name shall be Brown here for
convenience sake, told several Of
his prohibition friends, among
them two or three preachers,
that he was going to have a ban
quet at his home for a few of his
intimate associates in business,
and would expect them to be
there. Thus, without realizing it
at the time, he was about to
bring together two elements
pro-hi-b i-bitionists and good fel-
lows. AS the time drew nigh
Brown could not figure out how
he could manage to give the good
fellows a little champagne with
out offending the prohihs. Fin.
ally, however, a plan hit him be-
tween the eyes. He would plug
thewatermelons and empty sever
al bottles of the liquid in each
one. The good fellows were tolC
of the scheme and approved it.
The day Of the function came
Everybody was on hand at the
appointed hour, and the banque
was spread. The first, second
third, fourth and fifth course
passed without incident until th'
watermelons arrived. The mel
! OF course was last. Everybody
/ I ohighs and good fellows, on
and all, declared that no Sue
watermelons had ever bee
grown in that country before
The preachers carved their
down to the rinds. But it wa
n left for the great prohigh-on
who had spoken and worked fC
i the State prohibition law-to q
:, the principal stunt. Having CT

COMPANY HAS MEETING
Schneider Machinery Off
cials May Locate Near
Sharpshooters' Park.

The Schneider Machinery company
may locate it's factory for the building
of potato planters and diggers in the
Schreiber and Muenich Cement plant
near Sharpshooters' park. That so far
in the estimation of the promoters is
the most feasible plan for locating their
plant at present.
meeting of the stockholders was
to be held last evening in Attorney
]. K. Stinson's Office but owing to the
inclement weather, the meeting was
postponed.
The company is so far organized that
the factory may be completed August
Schneider and Gus Muenich, owners ,of
the cement plant are both stock holders
in the Schneider Machinery company
and therefore the deal of locating the
factory in the cement plant can be
more easily put through. Should this
plan materialize, the new concern
would use power furnished by the ce-
ment plant until such time when ma
chinery people can furnish their own
power.
