PEBBLES.
Those who had the pleas
ure OF attending the gradual.
ing exercises were forcibly
impressed with the splendid
work the past few years by
Prof. McClendOn and his able
assistants. The work of
each member of the class in
the exercise demonstrated
the high class of training
and the most close applica-
ton upon the part of the
students. The young ladies
and gentlemen constituting
the class have indeed been
fortunate in having been the
recipients of the instruction
OF this splendid school, and
will go forth in life to fill
places of usefulness equip
ped with the highest type of
training to be given in
schools of similar grades.
Prof. McClendon, as has
been before stated, voluntar-
lily sewers his connection with
our school this year and will
take up his work next ses-
sion in the town of Hickory.
He will carry with him the
best wishes OF his entire STU
dent body and the confidence
and esteem of the patrons
and citizens OF our town,
and we can assure the good
people OF Hickory that in
him they will find a teacher
Of the highest type.

THE LURE OF THE WEST
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOUSANDS OF SETTLERS.

Writing on the Canadian West, an
eastern exchange truthfully says:
1.-THE West still calls with impera-
tive voice. To prairie and mountain,
and for the Pacific Coast, Ontario's
young men and women are attracted
by tens of thousands yearly. The
great migration has put an end to the
fear freely expressed not many years
ago by those who knew the West from
the lakes to the farther coast OF Van
couver Island. that Canada would
some day break in two because Of the
predominance of Continental European
and American settlers in the West"
This is true. While the immigra-
ton from the United States is large,
running close TO 10000 year. that of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that number max
ing a total of 100000 per year, there
is a strong influx from Eastern Can
ada. 1t is not only into the prairie
provinces that these people go, but
many OF them continue westward, the
glory Of British Columbia's great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
! agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture
! and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast eXpanse
/ Of the plains attract hundreds Of thou
sands. who at once set 70 work to cul-
/ tivate their vast holdings. There is
still room, and great opportunity in
! the West. The work Of mans hands,
even in the cities with their record
breaking building rush, is the small
est part Of the great panorama that
is spread before the eye on a journey
through the country. Nature is still
supreme, and man is still the divine
pigmy audaciously seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
unconquered half continent.
The feature that most commends
itself in Western development today
is the 'home-making spirit" The
West will find happiness in planting
trees and making gardens and build
ing schools and colleges and UNIVERSE
ties, and producing a home environ
ment so that there will be no DISPOSE
ton to regard the country as a TEN
porary place of abode in which every
one is trying to make his pile prepar
atory to going back East or Pecomln;
a lotus-eater beside the Pacific.
The lure Of the West is strong. Il
will be still stronger when the crude
new towns and villages of the plain;
are EMPOWERED in trees and voca

CARLY DAYS OF ANTHRACITE

Anthracite as a fuel was once
much doubted novelty William Endi-
colt. a well-known and highly respect
ed citizen of Boston, now eighty-seven
years old, lately read a paper OF rem
iniscence In which he told this story:
Somewhere in the early 30s ru
mors had reached Beverly that in
Pennsylvania or elsewhere anthracite
coal was coming into use as fuel. Ia
order TO make trial of it five or six
gentlemen Joined together and sent to
Boston for CARLOAD, there being no
railway
From my fathers quota remember
a lump of about the size of a peck
measure which he placed in the open
fireplace and heaped about it an as
sortment of pine and hard woods.
These burned very well. but had no
effect upon the coal, even with re-
peated trials. Considerable fuel was
burned upon that occasion, but il was
not coal.
Some little time later. when a CRATE
had been installed in the fireplace and
"A good fire was burning in it. an old
gentleman came in TO view the novel
spectacle. After looking at it intently
for a few minutes he remarked that

from the scene. Little did he think
that his sage conclusion would be

tiers of a century and then. perchance

MILLIONS or TELEPHONES

There are said to be 100000 tele-
phone stations in the United States,
and the amount of wire made use OF
totals 12.000000 miles. Some idea
of what this total means may be grasp
ed when we calculate that this length
of wire could be wrapped around the
earth 500 times, and that it would
make 80 separate lines from the earth
to the moon, but there would not be
half enough wire to reach from the
earth to our nearest planetary neigh

Cure for Cold Storage Abuses.

Recent agitation for the correction of
cold storage abuses has resulted in reg
ulatory laws being passed by number
of states, among which the system
adopted by Pennsylvania is regarded as
one of the best yet devised. Under the
Pennsylvania law all cold storage ware
houses must first be licensed by the
state and provision is mode for their
regular inspection by deputies of the
state dairy and food commission. Ev-
erything in the shape of food supplies
kept in storage for future use must
bear tags or labels plainly showing the
date when such supplies were first
placed IN the warehouses, and definite
time limit is fixed for the retention of
such supplies before disposal. Eggs,
for instance, may be stored for eight
months, butter for nine, fish for nine,
veal for three, and fowl for from five
to ten months, according to whether it
was merely killed or clearly dressed.
Beef cannot be kept for longer than
four months, while pork and mutton
are limited to six months.
Such a law, if strictly enforced,
should be of great benefit to the people
Of Pennsylvania, insuring them sound
and wholesome food, and tending to
prevent the cornering of food products
by spectators. Of course, Pennsyl-
yania merchants can still purchase sup
plies from cold storage plants outside
OF the state not subject to this regula-
tory measure. But as the subject is bet
ter understood other states will doubt
less follow Pennsylvania example.
Cold storage properly used is a great
and, under modern conditions. almost
indispensable convenience. Its perver-
sion to the uses of undue speculation.
with the resulting higher prices and
deteriorating condition of the stored
products, can easily be prevented.
Such prevention ought in time to have
distinctly beneficial influence on the
cost OF living, to say nothing of the
conversation of health. Elk.

When the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie meets at Chattanooga, Tenn. on
September 18th, for its forty-seventh
annual encampment, it will be the first
time in history that such an encamp-
ment is held in the real south. 1t is
true, one encampment was held in
Louisville, but that city was too far re-
moved from the actual seat of the war
to be considered as part of the real
south. 1t is different with Chattanoo-
ga, tn immediate vicinity of which
was the scene of some of the bloodiest
battles of the civil war, including
Chickamaugua, Lookout Mountain. Or
chard Knob and Missionary Ridge.
Undoubtedly there was a time when
the selection Of Chattanooga as the
place of the gathering would have been
fatal to the success of a Grand Army
encampment. But time has worked
marvellous changes. The old-time an
tagonism has been wiped out; great
national problems, common national
dangers have brought the north and
the south closer together. The people
of Chattanooga are delighted with the
prospect of being the hosts of their
former foes for period of five DAYS
beginning September Is. Ever since
the announcement of the choice was
made, the citizens have outdone them
selves in preparing for their visitors
with true southern hospitality.
Great interest is being manifested in
the encampment in Grand Army circles
particularly among the thousands of
veterans who have taken part in the
numerous battles in the vicinity of
Chattanooga. Many of them have not
had an opportunity to revisit the his
torical battlefelds and they are highly
pleased at the prospect of returning as
visitors to the scenes so vivid in their
memories of the bloody war.
Among the features of entertainment
will be visits to the famous battle
grounds around the city, fireworks and
nightly signal fires on Lookout Noun
tain and other heights in the vicinity,
regimental and state reunions; there
will be hydro-aeroplane exhibitions on
the Tennessee river, steamboat excur-
sions and sham battle at Chickamau-
qua park.

public temper is tending. Such things
cannot go on forever with impunity.
Many drivers fail to realize that they
are in charge of high power machines
that are more than likely to MAIN and
kill unless they are properly controlled.
These drivers disregard the rights of
others and seem blind to the sacredness
of life itself.
There are great many more people
who 90 afoot than there are who drive
cars. They have been very patient and
long suffering. Every automobilist
may expect to find that he suffers from
the criminality of his fellows, whether
or not he himself transgresses the law.
1t is a senseless thing to go on as these
law-breaking men have gone on in dis
regard of human rights and even Of
human life More and more drastic
legislation may be expected and com
pliance with it will be exacted.
There are law-abiding automobile
users as well as lawless automobile
owners, but unless the innocent do
their part in promoting safety end decen-
cy on the public highways, unless they
help to curb the recklessneas of their
fellow drivers and assist in furnishing
them. all will suffer from drastic legis-
lation that will become inevitable.
Right here, it seems to US, is an OPP
portunity for the automobile clubs to
serve the interests of its members.
