MIR. BRITTS HATCHERY BILL.

ga bill appropriating SIS. 900 for the
building of a fish hatchery in some
part of Western North Carolina has
lately been introduced in Congress by
Representative Britt. Similar bills
have been brought before the house
by former representatives. Each n
gets just short of accomplishment and
then nothing is heard of it for
some time," as the H~endersonville
Hustler says.
western North Carolina is entitled
to a hatchery. 1t is naturally a game
fish country. Thousands of fishermen
live in and visit this section. This
means that the streams must be e
stocked from time to time 0 rthe sup
pl; will soon be exhausted. In fact it
is exhausted in any places already and
only artificial means can help the sit
uation.
There is no good reason why the
bill should not pass. Any amount of
convincing evidence for the need for a
hatchery can and will be furnished by

"GINGLES JINGLES"
HGO TO IT."

. Grab the line that suits your fancy,
then go to it, get the dope. Study
hard; learn all about it; where there's
knowledge there is hope. You must
have a dome that's freighted with the
stuff on how it's done, then work hard
and keep a sticking. That's the way
success is won. Always keep your
colors flying. Never funk and toss
the sponge. CUTTERS scarcely get well
started fore they turn and take a
plunge: You must all expect reverses.
Things seem never breaking right,
but expect to grin and bear it or you'll
pull a losing fight. Floating down the
stream is easy, but is not there with
the rep. Going some against the cur
rent is the thing that takes the pep.
Working hard and keeping at it is
no pipe we must admit, but go to it;
stick and conquer. Show that you are
long On grit. It's a cinch your Job
will seek you when you show you've

DUNCAN'S P~REDICAMENT.

- ~
The predicament in which Carl Dun
finds himself after his deposition as
leader of the North Carolina Republi-
cans, reminds us Of a story We once
heard.
An old maid once purchased a par
rot from a fruiterer. She was most
emphatically informed, "Da bird? Oh,
no, He no cuss. Too good!" How
ever on several occasions the bril-
went gack on his master by ripping
out with. a choice lot of profanity.
One day the old lady replied to one
OF these "cussed" greetings by snatch
ing the parrot from it's perch, and
wringing it's neck until she thought it
dead. Where upon she threw the car
scass on an ash pile and went into the
house.
A few hours later, ashamed of her
temper, she visited the. ash pile in
tending to give the poor bird a decent
burial. Imagine her dismay when the
almost ~featherless, swollen-headed,
one-eyed bird. perched upon the pile,
screamed huskily at her;
"Say, old woman, where in h
were you when the cyclone struck
U.S." ~ : {

OF the game.

OF the game.
In a base ball league would you
back up a team which demands that
the rules be overturned for its benefit
in the middle of the season? Not
much. You are too good a sport for
that.
Well, Gore and Borah, and a lot of
others, are demanding that President
Wilson permit William of Germany to
alter the international rules OF war
fare to suit his case. A bum lot or
sports, we say.
To play the game straight, win or
lose, is the only true test of chivalry
apG honesty. Germany is neither, III
this war; and Americans who ape her
unlawful demands are Germans at
heart if American at mouth.
Stick to the rules! The middle Of
the game is no. time to alter them!

PAINTING THE ROADsIDES.

] About this time of year many mer-
chants used to be organizing cam
peigns for decorating Cd the road
slices for many miles around with
their advertising. AS soon as the
spring mud had dried out, they had
their teams and men out erecting and
painting staring signboards along thG
country highways.
Very much less of this sort of work
will be done the coming spring. In
many localities it has stopped alto
gether. The merchants found out
that it did not haze advertising value,
and they were spending their good
money for nothing.
One objection to this outdoor adver~
Using was that it soon became defaced
and shabby. Even a neatly paintel
sign, if exposed to rain and dust,
would look ancient in a single season.
Il would convey an appearance of din
giness that was left handed advertis-
ing for the store that erected it. Bovs
would use it as a target, and jokers
would take paint and alter W words
with humorous intent.
The most serious objection to these
signs was the public animosity thai
they created. In many states legisla~
ton has been enacted against them.
III others various associations have
taken the matter up, and have made
l. q business to wreck roadside signs
confident that they were within their
rights.
The simple fact is that the people
want their pretty country roads
defaced by advertising. When they go
of the towns, they like to see
scenes and open air life, AMI
want to forget about business. The,
signboard is a reminder of CONNER
cialism. If erected on a mans place
tie highway, it offends by being out o.
place. and it does not help to sell
Gods.

ROAD MAINTENANCE.

i# - G4
This article is not about road ma
terial; it is not about new roads;
it is not about supervisors or superln-
tendents of roads. No. But it Is
ing here. We are concerned only
with the question of keeping up sdch
roads as we have already. DON'T lose
sight of that, please.
A farmer once plowed and broke up
a field thoroughly. Then he went off
and left it. No seeds were put into 1t.
No burrows run. Nothing was done
except the first blowing. Pretty soon
the weeds came up and took the entire
field.
Once a merchant put in a stock Of
goods costing a thousand dollars.
People came and bought. He did not
renew his stock. 1t ran down. Fin
ally it gave out entirely, Business
ceased.
Foolish farmer, and equally foolish
merchant, you say. To throw away
good money, n good time. Why
DIDN'T they go on with their work?
Just so. WI. don't Henderson
County go on with it's road work? We
have plowed out the roads. We have.
put a certain amount OF stock in them.
New we are calmly sitting along side
the road quarreling abon1 what kind
OF material is best suit I for Hender-
soI %county's' roads. Meantime. the
rains are washing gullies and holes in

dragging ard work We have done is
being carried way. Business will
soon cease, or nearly so.
Read the road article printed else
where in this paper. You will see
how much money it has cost to get
what we have already in the way OF
roads. Also, you will see in figures
what it will cost to keep the roads up.
