Declaring that IL a method could be

could be averted Prof. A. i. Soresi of
the Fordham Medical School and
Flower Hospital surprised members
of the Homeopathic Society of Kings
county in an address delivered in their
rooms in Bedford avenue, Brooklyn.
DR.. Soresi's address was on THE Pre-
vention of Death and Resuscitation,
and was based on a paper which he
has under preparation to be read at
lUt cSS
in London this summer.

demeanor. Modern thought recog-
nizes that while the Biblical law of
Fan eye for an eye, a tooth for a
tooth, and a life for a life" should be
followed the executions should be by
the most humane methods possible
Most of the states have abandoned
hangings. Pennsylvania was one of
the few states that held out for
hanging, but the legislature at Har-
risburg a few weeks ago passed a bill
providing for the substitution of ell
ectrocution. Nevada and Utah have
provided for execution by shooting
and the opinion OF witnesses is that
there is less brutality and horror abou,
this method than Is the case with
either hanging or electrocution.

According to John Vert the chief
menace to farming in the northwest
ern part of the coun-
Closer Farming ty comes from Jim
Necessary. Hill mustard and
the Russian thistle.
He found the weeds causing more
havoc than the jack rabbits.
This is not the first time attention
has been called to the danger of Jim
Hill mustard and other weeds. Well
informed men have been fearful of
this evil for long time past and have
been pointing it out as one of the
weak points in our practice of farming
on the extensive rather than on the
intensive scale
1t is physically impossible for a
bonanza farmer to give his ranch the
close personal attention that the
smaller farmer does The farmer who
lives upon his place the entire year
and who works his land in person is
in position to get better results in pro-
portion to his investment than is a
wheat baron He can make his ranch
pay 10 per cent net while the baron is
earning only five per cent if he fig
ures it accurately The small farmer
can keep down the weeds at a lesser
expense than can the big farmer. He
will also do better work than will a
renter because the renter is busy
milking the farm, not feeding it.
Smaller ranches, well farmed, with
the county cooperating by keeping
the highways free from weeds, will
solve the weed problem. At the same
time such a system would mean great
er production and higher profits, it
would increase the price of land, it
would mean more people and it would
mean advancement instead Of retro
gression for the wheat district of Una
tilla county.

HENDERSONVILLE.
Gem city of the Western North
Carolina MOuntains.

Hendersonville is one of the most de-
lightful and progressive municipalities in
the mountains of Western North Caro-
lima. Nature was lavish in the bestowal
of advantages upon it. Its climate is
salubrious, its scenery superb. and its
location peculiarly advantageous and at
tTactive. The enterprising citizens of the
little city have supplemented the natural
advantages with all modern conveniences
comforts. and facilities. For many years
the city has been one of the most popular
places of autumn and winter resort in the
midsouth country. It is a junction point
of the Southern Railway, AS miles south
east of Asheville, on the Spartanburg
division and the southern terminus of the
Transylvania division of the Southern,
which pierces the exquisite Sapphire
Country" and the Land of Waterfalls"
It has been said aptly that the residents
of this gem of mountain cities do not
claim credit for their wonderful climate;
they merely consider themselves fortu-
nate in having such a climate to recon-
mend 10 others" In Hendersonville there
are no extremes of temperature. Autumn
and winter days generally are mild, and
delightfully."- invigorating. From the cold,
raw winds OF the North and West the
city Is amply protected by towering noun
tain peaks, storm-beaten and picturesque.
and the plateau on which the city is To-
Gated has become the roof garden of the
Land of the Sky"
Osceola Lake. no more than a mile

boating and fishing. A few miles beyond

FLAT ROCK.
Historic and E1qui.itely Pictur.

A more delightful place of sojourn than
Flat Rock for autumn and winter travel
ers, as well as for summer tourists,
scarcely could be imagined. The scenery
surrounding it is not so rugged and pic
turesque as in some other mountainous
regions; but is restful to the mind and
eye and surprisingly beautiful.
The hamlet was settled by Charleston,
S. c., people in 1920. and long continued
to be exclusively a colony of Charleston
residents. Extensive estates in the vicin-
ity We're acquired by the settlers, many
of whom were wealthy; handsome homes
were built, and the grounds and gar
dens were laid out with such skill and
artistic sense that today they are mar
velously beautiful. The roads in the sur
rounding country are well. constructed
and maintained.
In the early days a quaint and pic
turesaue brick church, st. Johns In the
Wilderness, was erected on little knoll
hidden away among the lofty pines. It
still is maintained by the famalies Of
Flat Rock, services being held in IL
throughout the summer and autumn
months.
