The electric light is destined 70 De

OF the manufacturers OF automobile
lighting apparatus have their money

the manufacture of old-time lights.
They are naturally waiting for the
public TO demand new lights.
Ask them about electric lights anu
they will reply, "Oh, yes, We can
make them when the public demands

advancement is the fact that many

other materials were tried largely by
way OF experiment. Since then, how.

everywhere are changing from wood

Banking company, is a profitable
pastime. Mr. Parks has made it his

acre under cultivation. Since he
was boy Mr. Parks has been more
or less interested In this medicinal
herb, and has studiously watched its
manner of growth.
Eleven years ago he planted the
seeds which take a year to grow.
The root is found in shady spots in
the woods, and the utmost care must
Re exercised in its selection fer seed
ing purposes. Mr. Parks sends his
ginseng to a drying house in the
east, and after it is prepared for
the market it is shipped to China
where tie demand far exceeds the
supply.
This market takes annually a mil
hon and half dollars worth of the
article from this country alone. AS
a medicine for stomach and bowel
trouble the Chinese prefer it to all
ether medicines. Mr. Parks intends
