~FHE ONLY RESPECTABLE
DISEASE is OLD AGE"

DR.. Harvey W. Wiley speaking in
Kansas City recently said that old age
is the only respectable disease to die
of.
Hardly one hundred of you here
tonight will die Of old age" Doctor
Wiley said, !"the only respectable dis
ease of which man may die. The rest
of you are going to die before your
time.
81 mean it. You men are burning
yourselves up with tobacco and with
business cares. You women are try
ing to shorten your lives by drinking
tea, dancing the tango and playing
bridge.
Diseases that could be avoided are
going to carry you Off. You wait for
an ache before you go to the dentist.
You ought to go twice a year. The
dentist will find a cavity or he will
prevent one from coming. Every
tooth is worth $1,000.
''The average life is A years. Why.
a man is just getting into his best
years then. Just getting where he
can pay back a little interest on the
investment he has cost. It is not I'M
reasonable that, the average life should
be advanced to SO years."

Our CIRCULATION.

Advertisers will certainly benefit by
our greatly increased circulation
which has been the outcome of the
contest campaign we have been con-
Quoting for the past several weeks.
The contest closes Saturday and after
that time we a offer t prospective
and regular advertisers a quality circu-
lation that can't be beat in the county.
Every subscriber On our books is paid
in ADVANCING deadbeats-and this Is
assurance Of a live bunch of readers.
The power of advertising is one of
recognized merit and is something that
any progressive business house cannot
afford to overlook. Many a store has
become famous because of their
steady, persistent advertising and the
opportunity stands squarely before
everybody-big business and little
business alike. For a weekly paper
the service rendered advertisers by the
Hustler is hard to beat and as it goes
into the majority of homes in the
county, local merchants cannot fail to
see the advantage to be derived
through persistent advertising in it's
columns.

st. Petersburg Daily Times. .
After rising like a rocket to a figure
nearly treble that of a year ago, the
price of gasoline is now coming down,
slowly. it is true, but under conditions
of equal mystery with those which
marked its rise.
But why does gasoline suddenly be-
come cheaper after as suddenly be-
coming dear? That is the prize puzzle
of a system of price-fixipg. of, Mhica
the oil industry has furnished many
examples. The present reduction is
attributed to increased production and
a slackening Of the demand for the
fuel for the military needs of Europe.
But certainly the domestic demand
both for industrial and pleasure uses
has enormously increased. The de-
in the price of crude oil has been
slight and it is not assumed that the
long established and efficiently man
aged producing companies have only
at this late day effected economies
which make its production cheaper.
Why, then, does gasoline cost less now
than a month Or a week ago?
Gasoline is more than ever a public
necessity. The recent extreme. fuctu-
atoms in its price have inspired Con-
g~ressional inquiries. The Federal
Trade Commission had just finished an
investigation of methods of production
and conditions of cost. Yet the mys
terry remains at most half solved. AS
the World remarks, a goodway to clear
1T up might be to subject the entire Oil
industry to Federal supervision.

E!ND-sIGHT OF MR.. HUGHES.S

What the people Of this country are
most interested in learning from M.
Hughes is not his opinion of Mr.. vii
sons policies and alleged mistakes,
but what he would do were he in the
White House. Would he upset the
conditions now making for a peaceful
adjustment Of our differences with
Mexico and embark upon a long and
costly war; paciication and recon
struction? Until he answers this
auesfion his belabored criticism Of
Mr.. Wilson, for doing this or not doing
that will not carry conviction any
where.
Wisdom after the event is the cheap
est form of intellectual exercise. and
Mr.. Hughes hindsight apparently will
eclipse his headlight, if the candidate
ever turns the current on sufficiently
to enlighten the American people con
corning the attitude of the man on
great public questions who asks them
to bestow upon them the greatest Office
within their gift.

The government has sent a big cargo
of buckwheat seed to Newton for dis
tribution among the farmers. 1t is a
little late in the season to begin buck
wheat cultivation. but this supply of
seed should be well taken care of. The
mountain sections of the State afford
excellent opportunities for the buck
wheat farmers. In Watauga and adj
Joining counties buckwheat is a stable
CROP though it is mainly cultivated
for home consumDtion. There is an
eager market in the State for noun
tain buckwheat and it is possible that
this shipment by the government may
result in a development of this indus
try on a commercial scale. If so. that
would be n good result scored
against the flood.

GIVES WILSON MAJORITY.

The Spectator, a daily paper issued
by the students of Columbia Univer-
sity, has just completed a straw vote
by the student body of that institution
which gives Wilson 1,21O votes to
Hughes 848. This is taken as a clear
Indication of how representative men
of the United States stand in the cam
paign as Columbia University students
hail from most every state in the
Union. One thing of particular in
terest in this college ballot is that
even without the "Solid South" Presi-
dent Wilson gets a handsome MAORI

Not A CONSTRUCTIVE BUILDER.

U A CONSTRUCTIVE BU1LDERs
One cannot even get a line on Can
didate Hughes definite idea of the
process Of prosperity building. Gen
eral Prosperity is strutting merrilly
all over the American continent at
present. but the Republican nominee
asks us to believe that he is here only
as a transient visitor, the visit being
incidental to the artificial creation of
European war conditions. That un-
less we revert to high protective tariff
again we will fall a prey to the more
highly organized nations of the Old
World. eager to recoup their losses, at
the end of the big war.
Blu even there Mr.. Hughes sticks
to his tone of generalization and fails
to tell us what he would do to put
prosperity upon an entirely stable
foundation. The truth probably is
that he does not know-not only about
this, but about the other important
issues-and so he makes his inability
to grapple with them behind 5000
words of destructive criticism and
passes it to US as his speech of &C
ceptance." He shows himself to be
merely a politician engaged in the pol
itician's business of care-making, and
intelligent voters the country over will
accept his u~tterances with considera-
BILE discount.
We have a builder in the White
House already and will keep the door
locked against the Hughes wind.

From the worst to the best roads in

counts to make within a year, but
this is the claim of Davidson County,
a claim that is generally conceded by
those who have recently gone over a

Approximately a hundred miles of
these roads were finished June 80 AMI
about 100 miles were in course of con-
struction or authorized on the same
date. Davidson County is not building
roads just for today. but for tomorrow
and every other day that follows. When
