Don't say such a thing. OF
course you will. I've often thought
you were wasted in an office like
this, hammering a machine all day
long. But then, Of course, with
times as THEY'VE been lately, I didn't
want to put ideas into your head.
But you're lucky, all right, SO see
that you get something out of this.
How about shoes and things like
that?"

Bryce and then go home till they

ri shouldn't be surprised if Mr.
Stan calls for you himself. He's

a striking-looking young woman

How Cardui Helps
Women To Build Up

Cardui stimulates the appetite and
improves digestion, helping women
to get more strength from the food
they eat. AS nourishment is i'm

functional pains go away and wom-

Ratliff, of Hinton, W. Va, writes:
after the birth of my last baby, I
did not seem to get my strength

Of women testify Cardu benefited
them. If it does not benefit YOU,

Pat. There, someone's at the door.
I bet it's the rest of my trousseau
coming" she cried as she hurried to
open it.
Swiftly the afternoon passed,
and though Maris kept protesting
Pat should look after her own af-
fairs and take some enjoyment in
the few hours that she was having
off, she was only too glad to have
her help her get ready for the great
occasion.
The gown in ali its tissue wrap

suddenly cried, "Oh, Patsy, Pm

Local football enthusiasts who
are unable to go away for their

will be able to get service at the
local field on both Friday and Sat-
urday afternoons.
Friday afternoon Coach Wealth.
erby of Waynesville high school
will bring his Mountaineers here
to meet the Bearcats. The Waynes-
vile team is one of the strongest
in Western Carolina and will prob
ably be the smoothest high school
machine to appear here this sea-
son. The Mountaineers usually
rank next to Asheville's Maroons
among the high schools of this
section.
Coach Bob Morris will send his
patched-up Hilltoppers against a
scrapping A. R. P. frosh from Frs
kline college in the Saturday
roundup. The little Flying Fleet
is stepping quite nicely this sea-

lege and lost a close decision to
the Citadel Frosh. In 1884 when
the Erskine teams played here
they nosed out the Hilltoppers 60

Edwards, now varsity stars for the
Fleet, showing the way.
Coach Morris has had difficult
ties all season with injuries but
hopes to put a strong team against
the visiting pigskinners on Satur-

NECTARINE BROUGHT
FROM INDIA HAS
FAVOR IN U. S. NOW

The Quota ncctarinc, chosen as
the best grown fro ma seed lot inn
ported by the division of plant cX-
ploration and introduction from
far-away India, has revived the
tagging interest of California fruit
growers in the ncctarinc since its
commercial introduction 10 years
ago.
This peachikc fruit has creamy
white flesh with red Streaks near
the brown pit to which 1t cllngS.
It's iuciness moderately fine tex
turc and firmness combined with
its sprightly, mildly subacid, and
sweet flavor, have made it fav-
oritc for eating fresh.
The seed was imported in 1906
from Quetta, in Northwest India,
where temperatures often reach
100 degrees F. in the summer
months and in the winter it is not
unusual to see subzcro weather.
The elevation is $500 feet and the
average rainfall only 10 inches
with none falling from April to
December.
These seeds were planted at the
departments Introduction Garden,
Chico, Calf. Since that time It's
commercial production has cen
tered in California although the
fruit will grow probably as far
north as Hamburg, Iowa; Clin-
ton, Ill.,. and Pittsburgh, Pa. When
planted as far north as Storrs'
Conn, the nectarine failed to

SLOW STARTERS

SLOW STARTERS
Duke has been criticized for not
scoring on Tennessee in the first
period last Saturday. The Devils
had ~ cracks at the Vol goal line
from the l0-yard line or closer
during the first period.
Figures on the Blue Devils
games this fall show that Duke
has scored only once in the first
period against all opposition. Most
of Dukes scoring has been done
in the second and third period, 10
touchdowns being registered in
the middle periods of the IA scored
by the Devils this season.
The Tar Heels seem to prefer
the second half, having scored
three touchdowns in the third and
fourth periods, two in the first
and one in the second.
ACCURATE TOE
An accurate toe has Mister Tom
Burnette, of the Tar Heels. Nine
times this season he has gone back
to convert from placement, and
nine times the ball has sailed
through the goal posts. At least
once his trusty boot has won for
