But why, Professor Veblen, use
such an invidious word as sabotage
in describing this process? Doctor
Butler, president of Columbia Univer-

Daily Hoover Hint
Don't Give Hams or Bacon.

The Food Administration suggests
that employers who annually make il
a practice to remember their workers
at Christmas time with a fine ham or
a side of bacon, this year help save
these two important meats by sub
stituting turkey, ducks, geese or other
poultry. A Christmas basket contain
ing duck, goose. or turkey, with
the trimmings sweet potatoes, celery,
nuts, apples, figs, dates, cranberries,
is good patriotic combination.

THE COAL SHORTAGE

The United States faces a coal
shortage of 100000 tons this win
ter. The fact that 100,000,000 more
tons of coal are needed this year for
war purposes, while the production
can be increased only half this
amount, is given as the reason for
the shortage But there must be still
other reasons, with this country's
coal resources sufficient to supply
the whole world for the next 100
years.
The shortage of labor and trans
portation facilities doubtless have
considerable to do with the shortage
of fuel in certain parts of the coun-
try. But the possibility of the coal
shortage has been impending for
several months and considerable
publicity was given the matter last
summer Why is it. then, that the
country has let this misfortune creep
up until it now has us shivering be-
cause we cannot even get fuel at the
prices demanded?
During the last summer Secretary
Lane and Mr.. Peabody reached an
agreement with the coal operators
whereby prices were fixed that would
insure a maximum production, but
would prevent the public from becom-
ing hasty in laying in their supplies
to take advantage of low prices. But
the prices agreed upon were con-
demned by Secretary Baker as being
too high and the Fuel Administration
greatly reduced the figures. The re-
suit was that small producers who
could not operate at the low prices
were forced to shut down their mines,
thus reducing production at most
inopportune time.
The present coal shortage cannot
be laid to any one cause, but re-
view of the incidents leading up to
the present crisis would tend to show
poor management somewhere.

In charging the grand jury of Spar

Pickens took occasion to declare tina,
the road question comes within the
scope of the grand jury's duties He
made the statement that more money is
wasted under the present system of
woodworking than in any other depart
ment of county affairs, but explained
that he did not censure the road officials
but did criticize the people for permit
ting such road system to remain in
force. The judge hopes to see the time
come when every county in the state
will get value received for every dollar
spent on road Improvement.

The people of Pennsylvania county,
N. c., who have been greatly interested
in good automobile road across the
mountains below them, should have their
road officials to get in touch with our
road officials and build 4 good road from
Brevard to Pickens. The Pickens
county officials are now working on
plans for the building of a good road to
the North Carolina line and the North
Carolinians would probably like to ex-
tend it into their state. Such a road
would not only be a great convenience
to our own people, but would cause
great amount Of tourist travel to come
thru Pickens, and if summer tourists
ever get acquainted with Pickens
they will insist upon spending part of
their summers here. Besides, it would
put us in closer touch with Western
North Carolina, which would be we'll for
all We are glad, indeed, that ou,
supervisor and commissioners have de
cided to build this road.

Oolenoy

We know scarcely anything about the
Oolenoy valley, but things we have heard
about it have created most favorable
impression on our mind.
The people Of Oolenoy had good
school building and in some way or other
it was destroyed by fire. The citizen
ship of the valley did not sit down and
lament their condition, but with that
spirit that always means success they
arose with determination so that their
children, whom God had given them to
train for the very best citizenship, should
not be neglected; and before the ashes
of the old school building were hardly
cool the building Of new and better
house began just 9 few feet from where
the other stood.
The people Of Oolenoy believe that to
give their children chance to develop
their God-given powers is worth more
than land and money. 1t will take more
than the burning Of school building to
keep such community down.
The Oolenoy valley is one of the most
beautiful sections of our county, with its
broad valleys, towering mountains and
clear, crystal streams. And during sum
mer the most delightful breezes sweep
over the mountains and valleys The
bottom land is very fertile and produces
crops.
We have dream that only short
while from now beautiful up-to date
church house will adorn the hill over
looking the valley, pastor will settle
nearby, and large congregations will
come together every Sabbath to hear
the word of God proclaimed by the man
of God called to preach the gospel
Prosperous farmers, educated citizens,
progressive church and happy COM
munity with one Of the very best schools
in the state, and Oolcnoy valley will
blossom like the rose.
