'Pa" Stribling was largely in

the others of his proteges. Mrs.
Stribling, mother of the two boxers
of that name, occupied a place on
the stage near one corner of the ring

CAVE
MAN
STUFF

Back near the beginning
OF things, our prehistoric
forebears would have per-
ished from the earth if
they had not understood
the science of reading ad-
vertising.
The cavemen didn't
know much about under
wear, hair tonic or phon-
ographs, but they did have.
to eat. The one who could
follow the tracks of the
game he hunted, or read
the meaning of a twisted
leaf or broken twig, was.
best off in life.
Then as now. the most
consistent reader of ad-
vertising was best dressed,
best fed and most con-
tented.
There has been some
thing of an evolution in
advertising in the last few
thousands of years, but
the principle is just the
same.
The consistent reader of
the advertisements is in
variably best informed on
what to eat and where to
get it; what to wear and
how to pay for it; what to
do and how to do it. He's
up on the most important
things in life. Conse-
quently he gets most from
hie' 81 At ~.
Throughout the ages, ad-
vertising has done much
to make life livable and
pleasant. We owe it much.
Let's Make
The Most Of 1t

NUMBER 48
WANT TO FORM NEW STATE

Bristol, Virginia has a problem
on its hands which its citizens de-
mand remedied. 1t is unique, in
that it is geographical in character.
Half Of Bristol is in Virginia, half
in Tennessee. The State line runs
the legth Of Main street. In cOnse-
quencc there are two complete mu-
nicipai governments-two Mayors,
two chiefs of police and SO on down
the line to two dog catcilcrs..
An agitation has been started to
solve this and at the same time give
added glory to Bristol. 1t is pro-
posed to seek authority for the Gre
alton Of Il new State. 1t would be
Il real one, the advocates say, in
that Virginia would be asked to
cede territory in Southwest Vir-
Slnla, Tennessee part of its eastern
lands, while Kentucky would be ex-
pccted to chip in with some of the
Cumberland mountain .ection. Then
Bristol would come into its glory
and i'll the view of its inhabitants
its proper place in the world. All
that is needed is the new State.

OLDER THAN UNCLE SAM.

A bit of rather depressing news
comes from Greasy Creek, Ky.
"Unclc Johnny" Shell is dead. Re
latives and others who have exam
incd his records and relics were
convinced years ago that he was
born, as he claimed to have been,
in the year 1888. In his possession
were records purporting to prove
he was born on September 3, 1888,
in Tennessee. Assuming such rec
ords to be authentic, Uncle Johnny
was six moths old baby when the
federal constitution went into effect
and the national government, began
its existence. He was eleven years
old when Washington died and a
lad of fourteen when Emerson was
born. He was scvcnly-iivc when
West Virginia became a state and
was in his Scvcnty-scvcnth year
when Lincoln was assaSinatcd.

PROTECTION TO FORESTS.

AT recent called meeting at
Write Sulphur Springs the State
Tame and Fish Commission pur-
chased five steel towers 10 be- erect
cd on mountain tops overlooking
forest lands. The towers were pur-
chased from the Blaw-Knox Com
pany of Pittsburg and will be ship
ped later to the points decided up-
on. The purchase of steel towers is
a new feature in this work and
marks the beginning of a campaign
TO improve forest protection condi-
tlonS by the new commission.
wooden towers have been used in
past years but most of them are in
bad shape and they are to be re-
placed by more substantial struc-
lures. Three 80 and two 45 foot
towers were purchased while others
will be added during the present
fiscal year. The towers have stair
ways leading up to an eight foot
square room, glassed in on all sides
and equipped with maps of the sur
rounding country, field glasses and
other necessary equipment. A
watchman will be on duty through
out the seasons when there is
danger of forest fires, and will have
telephone communication with
number Of deputies in his district.
In this manner aid can be summon
cd and the fire put out before it
gets a big start.
All steel towers will be placed so
that tourists and the public gener-
ally may visit them. Trails will be
built so as to make this easily pos
Sible.

FEEDS ON GRASSHOPPERs.

Losing his sense of direction
while flying 1000 feet in the air,
Cadet r A White was compelled to
alight when his gasoline tank went
dry. His plane, in which he was
flying from Okechobee City, Flori-
da, to CarlstOrm Field descended in
the Florida everglades, miles from
civilization. For two days he
marched through the swamps, often
in mud knee deep, he declared,
making many detours to avoid alli-
gators and snakes. Driven to des-
peration by hunger, the flyer was
compelled to subsist on grasshop-
pers until finally found by Semi
mole Indian boy who guided him
back to civilization. Airplanes from
Arcadia, Florida, finally located him
after he had been rescued and while
being taken in an automobile from
the Carson cattle ranch towards
1mmokalec. Although i'll from
drinking swamp water and his face
swollen by mosquito bites, he re-
mained in the field hospital only
one day.

driven by George Ballengec. a taxi
driver of Hinton, who had brought
the base ball boys over. The child
is supposed to have attempted TO
cross the street and stepped quickly
In front of the machine which was
said to have been going in keeping
with the city speed limit. The
driver stopped quickly and inuuir-
ed about taking the child to hos
pltal, but was prevailed upon to
take him to his parents home who
lived near the scene of the acci-
dcnt, and physicians were called
but were unable to save the little
childs life. Mr.. BalIcngcc stated
that nc did not sec the child until
it was under the wheels. After q
