USE OF LEISURE TIME
 A FACTOR IN SUCCESS.
Time Not Spent In Working, Eating or Sleeping May Determine
 Efficiency.

"How do you spend your leisure time?" is the question which appears on the application blanks for employ ment in some of the largest business houses today. To some this may seem an unnecessary intrusion on the pri- vate life of the individual, but the way in which a worker utilizes the interval between 5 and p, m. and 8 or g a. m., as we'll as his holidays and Sundays, has an important bearing on his eff ciency. Dull heads and unsteady hands, which are often the by-products of misused leisure hours, are distinct liabilities in any work, whether 1t be routine or of the sort that requires judgment and adapta- Conservation, Ne1r York.

COTTON GOODS COMPANY
 BUILDING MODEL CITY.
Constructing 100 Cottages with Hoopi- tai, Library, School and
 Meeting Hall.

A big cotton goods manufacturing company with offices in New York City and a million-dolla- plant at Pas saic, N. J., recently completed the pur chase of 300 acres of land, comprising the whole village of Atwood, near Passaic, and has begun the construc- tion of a model industrial city.
 Almost a thousand men are em- ployed in the Passaic plant, which will be abandoned. Plans are to have city of about $500 population. One hun dred cottages will be built. There will be a hospital, library, school, and meeting hall. Twenty homes for SUI perintendents are to be put up at once. Homes will be purchased on monthly payments.
 Social welfare workers, architects, and industrial leaders have given ad- vice to the president of the mills. His plan is regarded as the most advanced step of the kind, in some respects, that has been taken in this country.
 The present mill has rest rooms, nurses, and dining hall. Dances have been given there every Saturday eve ming throughout the winter. There have been practically no labor trou- bles. - Industrial Conservation, NeaC York

GOLD LIES BURIED
Treasure Hidden in Texas Not
 Found by Searchers.
Spanish Loot Was Obtained Durino Victorious March of Mexicans
 Under Santa Anna In 1886.

One of the stories of buried treasure known to every old Texan, and par ticularly to Mexicans, is that relating to vast sum in Spanish gold and jew elry buried at the root of tree near what is now Summit Place.
 The story deals with the victorious march of the Mexican troops under Santa Anna in 1886, when, after the Alamo and after Goliad, they went to meet the little band of Texas patriots at San Jacinto. On the march follow CTS of the Mexican leader are said to have possessed themselves of money and jewelry in large quantities. Santa Anna is declared to have confiscated all this wealth, intending later to re- store it to its owners.
 But Santa Anna never had the op- portunity. Gen. Sam Houston met the Mexicans at San Jacinto and before the sun had set on April 21 the Tex ans had routed the Mexicans. Santa Anna and a large part of his forces were taken prisoners, but not all of them. The treasure bearers are said
  leo. On arrival at San Antonio, where news of the decisive defeat of Santa Anna had been received, they were afraid to venture farther with their precious burden.
 Beside gnarled oak to the north of San Antonio, some distance from the Cafnino Real, the men are said to have buried the treasure. This oak tree is known to many, and even at this late date gold hunters have dug in search of the pile.
 On Salinas street San Antonio, are holding fortune of gold and silver. One of them, at least seventy-five years of age. was once the haunt of a band of French freebooters, whose leader wore huge black beard. These men, the legend says, used to absent themselves from San Antonio for days at time, and their return always CO., incided with stories of wagon trains being held up and footed. The re- port says they buried much of their loot in the floor of the adobe hut, and searchers for 1t have appeared off and on for half a century. The most re- cent was half-Indian medicine man." who came there from San Marcos about three years ago. The man car ried a divining rod and sought to To- cate the treasure by its means. The various holes he and others dug are still visible.

NEED FOR LOYAL WORKERS.
Men Who Will Exert Best Efforts to
 Help Win War.

It would be impossible to overesti- mate the importance of labor in its re- lation to the war, and the necessity fo- every workingman to give his best ef- forts in order not to handicap the gov ernment in it's work of carrying the war to a successful termination.
 The loyal American workingman may be depended upon to do his full duty if he is not led by the mistaken policies of his leaders to do the things which his own conscience and his own reason tell him are wrong.-IndustriGL Conservation, Ne11 York.

HOW TO SAVE A BILLION A YEAR.
Cooperation Between Wage-Earner and Wage-Payer Will Save
 an Enormous Loss

There is an estimated waste of a billion dollars annually in industry in the United States, due to labor trou- bles. This billion dollars could better be employed to the advantage of both the man who hires and the man who is hired. NCapital can gain no advan- tage by fighting labor, and labor can gain no advantage fighting capital The result of the battle is always ar expensive draw.
 On all sides, however, are to be found evidences that both parties have begun to realize the futility of endless friction.-Industrtat Conservation, Ne1c York.

Potato Shipment Shows Increase.

The shipments of potatoes out OF
North Carolina this year have been
over a thousand cars more than last
year. On June 18th, ISIS cars OF po-
tatoes had been shipped out OF the
state: 1905 cars on the same date last
wear, AS high as 301 ears have been
shipped out of North Carolina in one
day. On the same day the total ship
ments for all other states amounted to
only 487 cars.
Prices for grade n have averaged
about $3.50 per barrel this year. Last
year prices averaged about s2.75 per
barrel, and in 1915 around $1.25 per
barrel. In fact, in 1915, potatoes We're
sold as low as rs cents a barrel, which
was much less than cost of production.
A letter just received by William R.
Camp, Chief of the North Carolina Di-
vision of Markets. from A. j. McMath,
the Secretary of Eastern Shore of Vir-
ginia Produce Exchange shows that
prices may be expected to continue
high for well-graded stock. Mr.. Nc
Math says: I'VE are now getting $40
per barrel for white potatoes; and
from present indications, it looks like
there will be a shortage of one million
barrels from the Eastern Shore of Vir'
ginia and Norfolk sections. With this
shortage staring us in the face, W. look
for good prices the entire season. If
war conditions continue, then sweets
should also sell fairly we'll, in our
opinion"

To teach a dog to dance is not So
difficult as you might suppose, but you
should only try it with a dog that has
learned some of the simpler tricks. The
whole secret consists in getting him to
Keep on his hind legs. Hold a titbit so
high that the dog will have to stand on
his hind legs to get it. Do not let him
have it till he remains on his hind legs
for a second or two, and gradually in
crease the time. Next move along a
step or two before you let him have it,
so that he is compelled to hop a few
PAGES. He will soon learn to do this,
and you can gradually increase the dis
lance till he is able to hop across the
room. BE very careful that you do
not attempt too much at first.-Ev.

Bee Expert Begins Visits.

C. L. Sans, the bee expert of Madt.
son county, where he has a big and
most successful apiary of his own, has
gone to Wilmington to spend a week
or longer in that section of the state
stirring interest in bee keeping and
comforting especially with those who
already have colonies of bees on hand
try. Mr.. Sans has just assumed the
position of bee expert with the state
department of agriculture in co-opera-
ton with the United States depart
ment, cooperation with bee keepers
and prospective bee keepers to extend
and improve the industry being the
special purpose.
Already a pretty thorough visitation
of the northeastern section OF the
state from Martin to Onslow counties
has been made and when Mr.. Sans
complete his Wilmington section vlsi-
tation he will have a pretty complete
line on the bee industry of the entire
eastern section of the state where he
says there are the biggest sort OF pos
sibilities for money-making in the
keeping of bees if any sort of care is
given them and improved methods OBJ
served.
A little later Mr.. Sans will go
through the piedmont and the western
sections of the state-Ashevllle,
Waynesville and beyond-in seeking
out of opportunities to help along an
industry in which he is decidedly all
enthusiastic and is convinced has the
biggest sort of possibilities for profit
and pleasure. He believes, too, in the
keeping of a few hives by every house
holder for the making OF his W
home supply If the larger development
is not desired.
