find only just such advantages
as are claimed for it.

Clinch Valley Has $4,000
Turkeys.

One hundred and twenty five
thousand turkeys will be ship
ped from the Clinch Valley sec
ton this year, according to the
estimate of man prominently
connected with the Southern
Express CO. He estimates that
about 20 900 will be shipped in
car lots by express, while 80, 900
will take the route to the east
ern markets by the slower
freight trains. Other thousands
will go by local express. He
goes even further and estimates
that the average weight of the
turkeys will be between thir-
teen and fifteen pounds, which
is very high average, taken car
by car.
If the turkeys bring good
price. over 100000 will be re-
turned to the Southwest as a
result of the turkey raising
which is a big business in the
counties of Tazewell and Rus
sell. The shipment of turkeys
has already commenced, but
these will be served to those
people who can afford TO eat
turkey any time, or " no have

Louisville &
Nashville
Pleased With the Telephone
Method of Dispatchine
Its Trains.

The Louisville X Nashville
Railroad, which about q year
age equipped it's main line from
Cincinnati, Ohio, to Norton,
Va, with telephone apparatus
for handling its train dispatch !
ing, has found this method SO
satisfactory that it recently or
dered OF the Western Electric
Company forty-two additional
telephone solicitor equipments
to be installed on a new copper
line being built from Licking
ton, Ky, to Quicksand, KY.
A telephone selector equip
ment makes it possible for the
train dispatcher located at
headquarters, in this case at
Lexington, to signal any of the
way stations without calling
the others. When tho dispatch,
er at Lexington wishes TO con
verse with the operator at Rich
mond the selector makes it pos
sible for him to ring the tele-
phone bell of the operator at
Richmond without signaling
any of the other operators along
the line.
The new line will cover a to.
tai distance of 90 miles, and 81
stations will be equipped on it
to handle the train movements.
A message circuit to handle
other railroad business, also
equipped with q stations, will
parallel this train circuit.
This is another instance
where a railroad has found that
the telephone is an efficient and
reliable means of handling it's
various communications.

Enthusiasm A
Valuable Asset

Have you ever thought about
the one absolutely necessary
quality in the contest to win?
Has it ever occurred to you that
this quality must be the pre-
dominate characteristic of the
candidates who "bring home
the coon's skin"
Boiled down, concentrated
and briefly stated, this one
quality is enthusiasm. Enthu-
siasnl is simply spelling success
in another way. 1t means ag-
gressive activity, fixity of pur-
pose and logged perseverance,.
Success is nothing more or less
than opportunity plus enthu-
siasm. The Big Stone Gap Post
and the Kelly Drug Company
furnishes the former and the
latter is up to you. The two
form an unbeatable combiua
ton and the latter will he found
to be one of the chief charac-
teristics of the winners in this
competition.
What Enthusiasm Means.
Indifference never led an
army that won, never modelled
a statute that lived, never
breathed sublime music, never
harnessed the forces of nature,
never reared impressive archi-
lecture, never moved the soul
with poetry nor tho world with
heroic philanthropics. Enthu-
siasm and buster are not
synonymous. Enthusiasm first
fixed the mariners compass
upon it's trembling axis and
first heaved the bar of the pow
erful printing press. Enthu-
siasm reefed the high topsail
that tuttered in the morning
breeze over the deck trod by
the indomitable Columbus; it
lent force to the sword with
which the colonies cut loose
from the domination of George
Ill 1t poised the axe of the
dauntless woodsman who blaz-
ed the trail to civilization, and
it pointed the quill with which
the immortal band inscribed
the thoughts that catch and
hold the present generation in a
condition of hypnosis.
The Winner.
The winners in the great
Piano Contest will be those who
do not concede the existence of
a single difficulty. Enthusiasm
will carry them through.
Just remember that many
things that you will consider
difficult will come up in this
race. But doing beats wishing
a thousand ways, but it's hard
er, 1t sometimes happens that
the man who can tell you ok
actly how to DO a thing is ut
terly unable to do that very
thing himself.
Opportunity must be manip-
ulated to ring the gong of sue
dess There ia no push button
placed conveniently at the front
door. The Post and the Kelly
Drug Company furnish the OPP
portunities, but if you will just
get rowbar under one of
them and bear heavily on the
other end you will turn it over
to your own advantage most
effectively.

CANNED FRUITS AND YEGE.
TABLES.

At iris season Of plenty in the line
of fruits and vegetables it behooves
the careful housewife to provide for
the future when such articles will
be scarce and expensive. Good home
canned fruit closely approaches in
flavor the fresh, and is available at
time when fresh fruits are almost
prohibitive in price. In the late win
ter and early spring really good fresh
fruit is hard to find. Apples have
been in cold storage, the best of the
orange crop has been marketed and
the housewife has to depend on the
ciarmy banana and the acid and
understood strawberry. At such times
a dish OF home-canned plums or
peaches put up in their prime is most
acceptable. Only a few vegetables
may be satisfactorily canned with the
facilities available in the home kit
