This big sign greets the eye Of the
motorist on the splendid ten mile
stretch Of asphalt-macadam road be-
tween Asheyille and Weaverville,
which is a link of the southern ma
tional highway from Washington TO

You have to learn the virtue Of
thrift and saving before the age of
twenty-five" says a banker. In or
der to become thrifty and saving a
young man must begin just as soon as
he starts TO earn money. There is only
one way to save, and that is continu
ously and regularly And when a man S
salary is raised his savings should in
crease. 1t Is remarkable how savings
will accumulate l claim that unless
sickness prevents, and sickness is only
too often the result of the lack of saw
ing, that the average man who is will
ing to work and save can become rea-
sonably independent at sixty. Ii you
are wise, young man you will start to
save now

Battle of porkIna.

The battle OF Dorking was an imagi-
nary battle. In 1871, at the close of
the Franco-Prussian war, Engllshmen
were reminded by the quick work done
by Germany over France of the posi-
bilities OF invasion, and Sir George T.
Chesny wrote an interesting and In
structive narrative called THE Battle
of Dorking, or the "Reminiscences OF
Volunteer" in which he depicted the
imaginary scene Of a great battle on
English soil, which was won by the
Germans In short, the battle was the
product OF a military mans imagina-
tion, but 1t was so well worked out
and so vividly described that as long
as the German armies were In France
the mention of the battle of Dorking
was enough TO make an Englishman

Eorest Destruction.

Fires and insects are the chief causes
of forest destruction, and the United
States bureau of entomology finds these
harmful agencies curiously interreiat-
ed. Insect-killed sections of forests
are the infiammable starting spots of
fires. While on the other hand, fire
wounds on trees give ready opening
for boring insects. More timber or mer-
chantable size Is lost directly through
insects than through fires.

STRAWBERRIES ON
EXHIBITION At
FOUNTAIN CITY
Allen Rich Exhibits Full Red
Berries; Potatoes and Corn
Also Shown.

FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind, Nov. 20
Isaac McClerny, manager on the Will
lam Cooper farm, has been working in
the campaign for seed selection. His
exhibit at the local creamery station
shows yellow and white corn in 'regu-
lar % and "a rows. full kernalley tops
and butts, and nature-dried nubbins.
The average of the fields selected
went from 60 to Is bushels to the
acre A number of farmers are CO.
operating in the seed-selection cam
paign in this section.
Allen Rich, the real estate man, has
boxes of strawberries in the same ex.
hibit, showing what can be done by
cultivation. The strawberries are in
blossom, some show white fruit, and
others the full red berries. He has
60 stands of bees and his honey has
the real clover flavor.
The show of Modoc potatoes, &C
bushels of sound, plump well-dried es
culents, is another side line indexing
that it pays to select good seed. The
recent instructions from the depart
ment of agriculture that seed pota
toes have certain qualities, are being
used in this seed selection campaign
in Fountain City. High school boys
and girls are taking interest in corr
selection.

Yes, it probably can be repaired by
a furrier. Take it to the place you
bought it and ask them how much it
would cost to have it put in good

pair your coat so that it will not show
the alterations and then it will be
serviceable for some time yet.
