DEDICATION OF THE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

\ On Sunday morning August II, at
IL O'Clock the Presbyterian church of
HendersonvilIe, was formally dedica-
ted, an event in the history Of the
church which has long been looked to
by the membership, but deferred until
all outstanding debts against the
..--- - +oen discharged.
Rev. R. B. Grfnnan of Norfolk, Va,
formtr pastor of the church
preached the dedication sermon, which
was listened to by the largest audience
that ever assembled in that building.
After the sermon, Mr.. J. o. Williams
on behalf of the building committee,
presented the church to the congrega-
ton in a few well chosen remarks
DR.. A. H. Morey4 one of the elders,
on behalf OF the church, made the
speech of acceptance and feeiingly
exhorted the members to greater dill
genoe in the service of the Lord that
the church might be more effective in
spreading the gospel and saving souls,
The dedicatory prayer was offered
by Rev. R. P. Smith. of AsheVille, who
has done more mission work in Wes-
tern North Carolina than any other
person of any denomination.

to his faithful efforts to spread the
gospel throughout this section OF the
State Hundreds of men and women
date their spiritual and awakeninS
and conversion to a Christian life to
DR. Smiths ministry and earnest per-
sona1 work.
Other ministers who participated IN

POPE,S PEACE PROPOSAL

Rome, Aug. 15.-Peace proposals
made by Pope Benedict have been de
liversd to all the belligerent govern
ments.
The Pope suggests restoration of
Belgium, Serbia and Roumainia and
peaceful solution fthe problems Of
Alsacce-Lorraine, Trent, Trtest and
Poland according to reports frem va
rfoas sources. 49, - = sse.8elI NJ
The popess peace appeal proposes
that there be no annexations and NO
indemnfties except in special cases
such as Belgium and Serbia the re
turn to Germany of their colonies IN
exchange for the occupied depart
ments of France freedom Of the seas,
disarmament and the formation OF a
supreme court of arbitration for the
settlement of future international dis
puFes t.
The peace proposals will lbe pub
lished here Thursday.
London, Aug. 15.-"The so-ca1led
peace terms have a distinct German
flavor I" This reply was given in an
authoritative quarter in London yes
terday.
The opinion was expressed that the
inspiration for the peace move proba-
bly, emanated from Austria and was
in the nature of trial balloon as a
prelude to more definite propositions
from the central powers to the allies.
1T has long been known to states
men of the. allied countries that the
central poyers are eager to conclude
peace on terms of restoration Of the
status quo. Therefore there is no
need OF any protracted consideration
before saying what the attitude of the
allies will be. A status quo peace
would be distinctly German peace,
and is the very thing which President
Wilson and other American statesmen
have been long emphasizing as impos-
sible and unthinkable. Ali the sac4i
fees of this terrible war will have
been in vain if we do not conclude a
peace which will insure the world
against repetition"
In reply to an inquiry whether the
vatican note had been expected or hae
come sa surprise, it was stated that
the first information regarding IL.
reached Whitehall yesterday 'al-
though similar note would not have
caused any surprise at any time in
the past two months"
1t was explained that on account of
its nature the note probably would re-
quire no formal answer It is ex
pected informal replies vii lbe deliy-
cred by means of speeches in the next
few days by various allied statesmen

Overlooking ONE
MOST COMMON Of
ABUSES To TIRES

How can | care for a truck tire?"
One seldom hears this question from
truck owner or driver these days, ac-
cording to r. S. Wilson, manager truck
tire department, the Goodyear Tire &
Rubber company, according to infor-
nation received by d. w. Sanford,
manager OF the local GOODYEAR branch.
ITO hosts of truck drivers says Mr..
Wilson, solid tires are apparently
nothing more than chunks of rubber
fastened to the wheels-what can hurt
them? They will wear out in course
Of time anyway, so why bother to look
after them?
"These big tires look so sturdy and
rugged that they do not appear to
need any special care But ideas like
this have cost the motor truck tire
users of the county a vast sum of
money in the aggregate. The severity
of the performance demanded of nom
pneumatic truck tire usually more than
makes up for its lack of delicacy-so
that reasonable care with truck tire
is Just as essential as with an automo-
bile tire.
Overlooking is. one of the great
abuses visited upon truck tires. In
many cases overlooking is Intentional,
but in the majority of instances the
practice is carried on unknowingly or
carelessly But the result is the same
in either case. The overstrain soon
breaks down the tire before it's APP
pointed time.
1.-THE sturdiest machine, of whatever
character, has its limitations. A fly
wheel can run just so fast and no
faster. 1t has critical speed which,
if exceeded will tear it to pieces. A
locomotive can pull just so much and
no more. A crane will lift only so
much and no more.
Likewise a solid truck tire will en-
dure certain strain and not a bit
more. When rubber is compressed to
a certain point, its compressibility
ceases, and any pressure beyond that
point causes the rubber particles to
crack and separate from each other,
and the tire is weakened so that it be-
comes more susceptible to common in
juries. The life is crushed out of the
tire and it never resumes its former
resilency.
Overlooking, of course, is only one
uf the abuses to which truck tires are
commonly subjected, but it is the most
prevalent, and this is why we are en-
phasizing care in loading trucks only
90 -econ.nleld capacity. Overlooking
is bound to increase the cost of opera
ton greatly. and while the tires are
wearing away abnormally, the truck,
itself is depreciating at an unreasonable
rate. So our advice, based on expert
ence is,--if you must overload your
truck, equip it with oversize tires when
your old ones wear out. They will be
lar more economical in the end.

IN ROCKIES Is LAST
STAND OF BEAVERS
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


Far up in the Businesses of the
southern Rockies, hidden in one of the
most inaccessible hooks that remain
IN this country today, what is prob
abby The la gest existing colony of
beavers has established itself for a last
stand
The beaver was once one OF the most
abundant Of our American animalse
lat the ease with which he was trapned
and the value of his fur soon drove
INN Tar on the road to extinction. Soon
only the most stringent of protective
legislation was able to save him. but
now ne seems TO be Coming back"
and wherever he finds a favorable To-
,ation he increases rapidly.
There is no better place in the world
10 study the interesting habits OF this
little animal than in that little hidden
mountain valley just south OF the Colo
RADIO line, which the Mexicans have
chrlstened Lagunitas The valley
nestles against the very backbone of
the Continental divide, 10000 feet
above sea level, and from every side
It Is approachable only by long and
tollsome forest travel, except in winter,
when 1t is not approachable at all. The
hollow in the mountains crest is dot
ted with irregular rows and miniature
ranges of hills, 200 and 800 feet high,
that make up most bewilderfng to-
biography.
In among these hills the beavers
have built them a city. The landscape
is ideal for the building of their dams,
ana by throwing barriers of sticks and
mud from the hillside TO hillside they
have created a dozen big lakes, some of
them a half mile long Along the
shores OF these lakes are built the
beaver lodges. There are probably a
thousand beavers in this community,
ieigining in undisputed supremacy over
their mountain domain
They are shy brutes, but very early
in the morning and just at sunset you
can often surprise them cutting the
ouaking aspen on the bank with their
chisel teeth. or plastering away indus
triously at one of their elaborate dams.
