struction of large frost-proof
warehouses at the principal
loading stations. And that
such buildings should be con-
structed and completed before
another potato crop is ready
for the market.
The capacity of this storage
should be at least 500 cars for
the 1918 crop, and then addi-
tional storage for from 800 to
500 cars should be supplied for
the next years production.
This would regulate shipments
and care for such an enormous
tonnage for late deliveries that
the entire potato crop could be
saved and handled with profit
to the growers. And to con-
struct this storage where most
needed, the buildings should
be located at Monte Vista, Del
Norte, Center, Haywood switch
and Ansel switch. y
This locality is the only large
potato shipping district with
out frost-proof storage on
tracks, and the marketing of
this crop cannot be successfully
conducted until these large
warehouses are constructed.
So let every man do his bit to-
ward the planning and devel-
oping of this much needed stor-
age. Then when the car short
age arrives. digging can pro-
ceed and the potatoes stored
for future sale and delivery.

There is something about the
Barnes circus that appeals to the
amusement loving public, per-

circus in the world presents such
a kaleidoscope of animal won

animals and who is there that
does not sit astounded at the
wonderful tricks they are educat-
ed to perform? Nobody.
The parade is only a com
mencement of the meritorious
wonders the Barnes shows offer.
The program of 65 feature acts
presented at the two performan-

the management being able to
build from tiny dog and pony

It's funny how much more a fellow

Would you mind mentioning MAY

in fair proportion as to fat and lean; that
it's flavor imparts a zest to food that
nothing else can do. In a platter of crisp
MAYROSE bacon there is keen enjoy

KNOXVILLE TRADE TRIP
INCLUDES UNION

In pursuance of a policy estab-
lished last year by the Board of Com
merce, and trade trip of Knoxville bus
mess men will be made this spring
through territory in adjacent States.
The trip will be made during the week
of April 9Th and will take in sections
of North Georgia, South Carolina and
North Carolina. Union is included in
the itinerary.
The object of the series of trade
trips which have been planned is to
afford Knoxville business men an op-
portunity to personally express their
appreciation for the business which
comes to the Knoxville market from
the adjacent territory and also for
the purpose of establishing closer and
more cordial social relations with the
trade, as well as to ascertain what
Union has to sell that Knoxville can
use, as the business men of Knoxville
are Just as anxious to buy what Union
has to sell them as they are to sell
Union merchants. In other words. the
Knoxville business men believe in reci-
procity.
One hundred and twenty-five busi-
ness men will accompany Knoxville's
second trade trip party.

NEW THEATRE OPENS.

The new theatre was opened the
first time Wednesday evening. and
was crowded to the doors. The Edi-
sonia is to be congratulated upon hav-
ing such handsome quarters. The
building is not only superb home for
moving pictures, but is also we'll
adapted for plays which Mrs. Storms
proposes bringing to Union from time
to time. There is a well-arranged
and roomy stage, capable of accom-
modating large troupe.
This building is leased to the Edi-
sonia. 1t was built by Mr.. Jacob Co
hen. one of Unions most progressive
citizens. Mr.. Cohen has shown a
commendable faith i'm Unions future.
for it has taken money. much money,
TO put through such an undertaking.
Mr.. Cohen feels that while the return
from the investment will at first be
small, the prospect for the future JUS
titles the investment.
Union may well be proud of her new
playhouse. When you see it you will
reach the same conclusion, for it is a
gem.
