is GOOD WORD, BUT SLANG
Why It is Considered Compliment to
Refer to a Friend of Either
Sex as a "Pal."

The dictionary recognizes the right
of "pal'' to inclusion in our language,
though designating it as slang Like
many words thus classed, it is a terse
way of expressing a relationship read
lily understood but not so easily de-
fined. In good society it is accepted
as meaning a chum. congenial COM
panion in the vocabulary of crime it
stands for a confederate or accomplish.
The most natural and instructive
thing in life is a desire for congenial
compaHionship; only the abnormally
developed mentality can live on a
sufficiently exalted--or shall we say
elf-centered-plane as to exclude 9th
er personalities. A pal is an intimate
friend, of either sex, to whom one
may talk as the heart BEATS may
confide hopes, fears, happiness, and
disappointments, certain the trust will
not be betrayed. Between opposite
sexes it excludes loyemaking or
"spooning" but means broad, intel
ligent, faithful, yet subtle friendship,
since all friends are not-pals; not nee
essarily a unanimlty of opinion, but a
disposition to "agree to disagree" in
case of differences. There is tacit
respect for each others individuality.
Perhaps one of the best tests of Il
pal is that the two enjoy silence to-
gether; there is a sense of companion
ship in being together without the con-
slant trickle of words which most Of
us feel necessary unless one would be
thought unsocial.-Detroit Free Press.

Plan to Put Soldiers on Farms.

A measure intended to make it easy
for soldiers to purchase land and Civ
ing them 40 years in which to repay
the state for the land has been en-
crossed in the lower house of the Wis
consin legislature. The bill is fathered
by AssembIyman Orrin Fletcher, La
Crosse. The measure carries a bien-
NAL appropriation of $1,000O0O with
which to purchase lands to put sol
diers on farms in Wisconsin.
Under the terms of the bill the pres
sent land settlement board is to admin
lister the provisions Of The law. In
order to aid and provide for the re-
turned soldiers and sailors who have
been honorably discharged, and as a
Just and fitting reward in the manner
of pay, bonus or reward for their SER
vices to the state and to the nation.
and TO provide reasonable opportunity
for employment, the board may ac-
quire agricultural lands suitable for
colonization, together with any water
rights and rights of way, and convey
such land to discharged soldiers and
sailors and thei dependents.
The land settlement board is given
authority to set aside certain areas of
land for town site purposes; the board
is directed to advertise in the newspa-
pers for lands; may sell the lands to
soldiers may prepare all or any part
of land for drainage or cultivation;
may furnish the seeds, plants, fences
and erect buildings and other improve
ments necessary. The board may also
make loans ON the security Of stock
and farm implements.
Every purchaser must be an actual
resident upon such land within six
months after date Of his contract. The
contract of sale to soldiers shall pro-
vide that the purchase price of the
land shall be paid in amortization
plans over a period of 40 years and
bearing 8 per cent interest, computa-
ton as to payment being those used
by the FEDERAL land bank.
The bill provides that there is appro-
priated from the general fund to the
Wisconsin land settlement board on
July l. 1919, 100000, and on July 1.
1920. 100000. for the purpose of car
rying out the provisions of the pro-
posed measure.
Concurrence was given in the assem-
bly, to the bill appropriating 100000
for care of the wounded, sick and con-
valescent soldiers, sailors and marines
from Wisconsin. The bill now goes TO
the governor for his approval.

spent and the work but started. The
city's school system is most admirable
and the number of famous private
schools for boys and girls already
here is decidedly remarkable. The
county is a good roads cOunty-there
are few better, and the highways are
IN the hands of most competent men.
Business conditions here, as reflected
by the two banks statements, are
more than aging-they are en-
thusing. The present season is a re-
markable one and mus prompt ener-
getic efforts on the part of all to meet
a still greater one next year. There
will be a winter seGe;.E and the golf
links will aid in this. Henderson,
vile is prosperous, is growing, and is
destined to become the metropolis of
Western North Carolina. If there is
a better town anywhere in the south
it has not yet been discovered, and if
there is a town anywhere where in
vestments made now are more certain
of profitable returns, there are several
very good and successful investors
who would like to hear of it.
More Publicity
What does Hendersonville lack to
make of it QUICKLY a great city:
Absolutely not one thing except more
and still more publicity-the kind of
publicity which made Los Angeles
great and which, all in due course of
time, this city will buy and which
will make of it a greater han LOS
Angeles. For, with all reverence, it is
repeated that this is a city in the very
heart of a land set apart by God for
the refreshment of His people. 1t is
a city where those ailing MAJ recover
their strength where those tired and
toe weary may find a new incentive to
live, where a man may do his very
best work, and where, if he will WORK
he will prosper. AS a famous Baptist
preacher has truly said, these are
Gods hills and HendersonvilIe is a
city set upon these hills-it is the new
Jerusaleum.

all this, and for the active and sus-

possibly. upon the man who NAV ad-

William Jennings Bryan. here re-
Gently, told a newspaper man who had
interviewed him many times, that he
thought Unreasonable the most
charming small city he had any know
ledge of. And it is the most charm
ing small city to be found anywhere
but 1t wont be small very much
longer. The place has found it's stride
n it will double its population be-
fore many years have passed. People
leave Hen%dersonville and travel far,
but the names of scores might be here
given who are more enthusiastic over
its attractiveness on their return
than they were before leaving. Per-
haps it's the towns setting amidst !
these mountains always beautiful, al
ways inspiring and which come to be
as old time friends as the years pass
on. Perhaps it is the climate-un-
doubtedly the best all-year-round ell
mate in the world. Perhaps it is be-
cause health and a new joy in life may
be found here, where work becomes
inspiration and not drudgery, as il
so many parts of the country less |
favored than this. But whatever may
be the reason, there IS a reason for
the growth of this city, there IS a

being made, there IS a reason for the
spirit of optimism in the air and there
most certainly IS a reason for the
faith of these investors in Henderson,
ville's immediate future.
Real Values
Real estate here is lower in price
now than it ever will be again-tha;
is one perfectly safe prophecy. The
great south is prosperous, and it's peo-
pie long g found here their natural
playground. The size of the crowd
already here is some. ain indication
of the city's popularity in the south.
When August comes it will he a ply

the condition now. The cry is FOR {
more and still more accommodations {
for the tourists, and so each yea the I
town expands more and more and s

the demand-but So far it's efforts S
have been uIravailing. Plans now

that of the summer and in these plans
the municipal golf links play a part.
For this class of business the city is
admirably equipped, for there are
steam heated hotels and boarding
houses, there are good roads and ali
other conditions requisite to a winter
season have been met. In no one par
~ticular, perhaps, has the growth of
the city been more forcibly indicated
than in this respect.
New Buildings
But it is in the city's building pro-
gram for the coming year that the
greatest significance may be found
For a town of 5000 people to spend at
least one-half million dollars in new
buildings alone is certainly worthy of
comment. 1t indicates a condition of
growth and development that would
be hard, if not, indeed, impossible to
parallel in the south, aside from some
Texas oil town which is here today
and is gone tomorrow. Investors do

OIL GATHERINGS

Prominent business men of San
Diego, interested in the San Diego
and Imperial Valley Oil Company,
have been spending the past few
days in the valley and have been
making close observations Of the oil
well being drilled at Coyote Wells
in the western part of the county.
In the party were ]. A. Henry,
secretary and treasurer of the COM
pany: A. L. Askanas, E. W. Klein
and Mr.. Kervin. They report that
the drilling on the well has been re-
sumed, that it is now down T15 feet
and that two showings Of oil have
been encountered, the first 535 feet
and the second at $50 feet. They
had the well bailed yesterday for
their own satisfaction and saw the
oil come out. Drilling will be pushed
from now on and they fully expect
to get oil by a depth of 1850 feet
if not before.
The party returned to San Diego
