FRUIT co. ORGANIZED

The Watauga Fruit Company
has been organized in this city
with w. A. Starritt, ]. C. Stone,
J. $, Gillspie, S. B. Vaught and
J. M. Ferguson as incorporators.
Some fifty or sixty acres of high

east of the city, beyond East Car
uegie, will be converted into or
chards, and the most approved
scientific methods will be used in
handling them, which should
give excellent results in both
quality AMI qlan;ity. Eastern
capital is interested, and from
their Investigations they have
found at this place a desirable
climate, good soil, land above the
frost line, ard intelligent people
to take charge of the operations.
Peaches and apples will be the
principal products at this time.
From the success of other fruit
growers in the immediate vicinity
the promoters see good prospects
in the scheme-so do we. We
we're just wondering the other
day why somebody didn't take
hold of proposition of this kind,
and now that it is started we see
40 reason why we should not soon

Fishes Don't Need Ears to Hear.

Just because fishes haven't ears is
no reason why they can't hear, ac-
cording to Dr. Arthur Gordon Web
ster, professor of physics in Clark uni
versity, who recently opened a series
Of lectures on Sound in Speech and
Music" at the University of Pennsyl-
vania.
Doctor Webster declared that sound
is motion. THE outside of the ear"
he said, 'is not necessary to hearing.
# is possible to hear through the
teeth. This can easily be proved by
putting a pencil between the teeth
and holding it on the sounding board
Of piano.
There has been much discussion
as to whether fish can hear. Some
persons have declared that fish cannot
sounds because they have
no ears, but sound is motion. and as
long as vibrations reach the inside of
fishes heads it makes no difference
they have ear orifces or
not"

officers were searching this city for
Frencisco l. Madero with warrant
for his arrest, the self-styled pro

leader of the insurrectos, was en-
ploying shears and safety razor
upon his beard, skipped over into
Mexico. The warrant charging him
with organizing a revolution against
friendly nation on American soil,
was not served.
Besides his whiskers, Madero left
in Ell Paso statement to the Amer
lean public, which was given out by
the insurgent junta. In it Madero ex-
presses regret that his duty to his
followers in the movement against
Diaz does not permit him to remain
and face the charges. These, he de-
clares. are brought about through
the Diaz administration. He thanks
the American people for their inter
est in the revolution.

New French lows.

Not long ago M. Lepine, the prefect

competition, and the toy that wins a
prize becomes, so they say, hall mark
ed and is certain to attract attention.
The chief feature this season is
called lie Circuit de TEst," thus
named after the great aeroplane race
through France a few months ago.
1t is very cleverly contrived and
shows a biplane and a monoplane re-
volving at a great speed around a
church steeple.

race game, consists of four aeroplanes

uine sporting element l noticed too
that wild beasts are plentiful, espe-
cially bears and tigers, although mon
keys also are very well represented.

geniously treated this year.

Aids to Digestion.

Robust people, SO long as they get
what suits their own uncultivated
taste, are apt to make very light OF
what they call 'fancies" about food
and overlook their real Importance.
Feeding on the part of civilized man
is not the simple procedure which it
is with animals, although many ami
mails are particular as to their food
and what Is called dainty" The ne
cessity for civilized man of cheerful
company at his meal and for the abb
sence Of mental anxiety is universally
recognized, as well as the Importance
of an inviting appeal to the appetite
through the sense of smell and of
sight, while the injurious effect of the
reverse conditions, which may lead to
nausea and even vomiting, Is admit
ted.
Even the ceremonial features of the
dinner table, the change of clothes,
the leisurely yet precise succession OF
approved and expected dishes, accom-
panied by pleasant talk and light
hearted companionship, are shown by
strict scientific examination to be i'm
portant aids to the healthy digestion
of food, which need not be large in
because wisely presented

REYES PROPOSES PLAN.
Diaz' Envoy to France Recommends
Conscription for Mexico.

Paris.-General Bernardo Reyes
has completed the first part of his
military mission from President Diaz,
Of Mexico, and gave an outline today
of his conclusions. They have to
do with the establishment of oblig-
atory military service in Mexico.
The general said his ideal was a
powerful army based on his sugges-
tions and that would make possible
grand homogeneous republic freed of
revolution and anarchy.
General Reyes said he had no idea
of returning home now, as his doing
so might be interpreted as a desire
on his part to profit politically by the
present political chaos in Mexico.
He said he would recommend to
Diaz obligatory military service for
two years, with no possibility for the
richer classes to hire substitutes, as
has been the practice in Spain.
The greatest difficulty he had found
was the refusal of the educated and
more prosperous classes to mingle
with the poorer

PURSUIT OF THE TIGER
ENTAILS CARE WHICH MARKS
SPORT WITH GRAVITY.
Safety Of ones Companions is Away
a Matter Of Great concern-Dan-
ger Invests Hunt With
Fascination.

Perhaps some Of the fascination Of
tiger shooting lies In the mischief that
results from bad shooting or methods.
This entails a carefulness which In
vests the sport with gravity, mark
ing 1t as apart from other shooting.
For first and foremost stands the
safety Of ones companions, whether
they be beaters, trackers or elephants.
Shoot dead or leave well alone" Is
counsel Of perfection which should
ever be borne IN mind, even If not al
ways attainable. With the tiger lying
dead or gone away unwounded the
trouble is ended until you wish to

afoot the trouble is hardly yet begun
save in the matter Of getting beaters

With elephants, especi1'ly howdah
elephants, pursuit may begin at once
or be delayed, according to circum-
stances. without them an hour or
two's interval or more on occasion
should elapse before starting on what
may be pleasant or an unpleasant
duty, according to the sportsman's
taste in these matters. But duty 1t
(nearly) always it. Wounded tigers
are not articles to be lightly left lit

The interval before pursuit allows
of a chance of three things-and Of
one other which must be accepted un-
willingly. The wounded tiger may die
either directly from the wound or from
the effects of drinking water on GER

FOR DEFENSE ONLY.
Reciprocity Does Not Indicate An
nGXatiOR With Canada.
Secretary Knox Says Reciprocity
Does Not Mean Union, Though
Nations Are One For Defense.

Chicago, Feb. 16.-Though, the peo
pie of the United States and Canada
are "a substantially homogeneous
people" with deep moral and racia
reciprocities," the benefits of the pro
posed commercial reciprocity with
Canada Ought not to be endangered
by the fear Of relations too cordial
and conceiyably dangerous to the
great Canadian loyalty to England, "
is the opinion expressed by Secretary
of State Knox in an address at a
banquet given by the Chicago AS.
sociation of Commerce tonight.
Mr. Knox and James ]. Hill joined
in urging the adoption by the United
States senate of the reciprocity
agreement with Canada, and 1000 per-
sons, representing almost every big
commercial and municipal organiza-
tion from a score Of Western cities,
listened and applauded.
Mr.. Knox declared that, while
migrations proceeded as constantly
and as freely between Canada and
the United States as between two
states of this country, and while the
two peoples have been welding to-
gether for two centuries, there is
not the slightest probability that this
racial and moral union will involve
any political change or annexation
or absorption"
1T is an chronological fact that
political units of the English-speak-
ing people never lose their auton-
omy," said Mr.. Knox. Like bees,
they give off their swarms, who set
UP for themselves independently, but
they do not make political combina-
tions among themselves. Since the
Revolution there has been almost un-
disturbed peace and amity between
the two countries, and however gov
ernmental changes may have been
bruited in the past, it is probably
more true today than ever before
that the weight of sentiment and
opinion, both in Canada and the
United States, while desiring closer
relations in all other respects, is
crystallized in a belief that the pres
ent political separation is desirable
and will lead to the best development
of each nation and to better and more
relations between them.
"In the higher atmosphere and
broader aspects of the situation it is
certain that, if there should be any
great world movement involving this
continent, Canada and the United |
States would, as a matter of course,
act in the most perfect concert in
defense of the common right of
common blood and civilization"
Declaring, however, that the reci-
procity proposition was economic, |
not political" Mr.. Knox asserted:
''The United States recognizes with
that the Dominion of
Canada is a permanent North Ameri-
can political unit and that the auton-
omy is secure The United States
appreciates the advantage to the COM
mon welfare of the Continent that
Canada contributes her own strength
plus the strength of Great Britain"

TREES KEEP STORM RECORD
Rings Of Growth, Visible In Trunks,
Tell the story to Observing
Men of Science.

1t has been found that the rings Of
growth visible In the trunks of trees
have far more interesting story to
tell than has usually been supposed.
Everybody knows that they indicate
the number of years that the tree has
lived, but scientist in Texas has
made experiments and observations
which seem to show that trees carry
In their trunks a record of the wealth
er conditions that have prevailed dur
ing the successive yeal1 of their
growth.
Several trees, each more than 1870
years old. were felled, and the order
and the relative width of the rings
OF growth in their trunks were found
70 agree exactly.
This fact showed that all the trees
had experienced the same stimulation
In certain years and the same retarda-
tion in other years. Assuming that
the most rapid growth had occurred
in wet years and the least rapid in
dry years, it was concluded that Of
the 134 years covered by the life Of
the trees sixty had been very wet, six
extremely wet eighteen wet, seven
teen average as to the supply of mois-
ture, nineteen dry, eight very dry and
six extremely dry.
But when the records of rainfall
running back as far as 1854 were con-
suited it was found that they did not
all agree with the record of the trees.
Still, it could not be denied that the
rings in the trunks told a true story
Of the weather influences that had
Affected the trees in successive years.

qualified to be called "all round men.
His roofless workshop is at a distance
from communities of any consider

he is miserly or lacking in funds, but
because he must grapple with things
at first hands.
He becomes perforce a bricklayer,
