PHOTOS TOO ATTRACTIVE

You may interpret "1t's a Woman'S World" as both a title and as a statement of fact. So- cially, of course, this phrase can not be disputed. But from the viewpoint of our economic system this statement is of great Signif1- canoe.
 Eighty-five per cent of the re- tail business of the United States is transacted by women, particu- Iarly by housewives. The impOr- tance of this statement is further emphasized when we realize that the circulation and distribution of monies and commodities largely takes place over the counters of retail establishments.
 It is little wonder, then, that the sales efforts of rnanufactur- CTS and business men is dire cted toward women. Look carefully at your newspaper advertisements and listen attentively to your radio commercials and you will notice that they are deliberately aimed at catching milady's fancy.
 Even mems clothing is sold to women. This is not done directly, of course. The factor involved here is emphasis upon appearance appearance for women. Auto mobiles, trains, steamships. the aters, hotels and restaurants are better looking and more comfort able in order to please the women.

blind forever!

blind forever!
Now here is the point of the
story. Did Ike Kuperman whine
and give? Did he complain about
his misfortune? Did he say, Il
can't get job now"
No, sir. Not Ike Kuperman. l
am happy to report that Catho-
lie charity offered to give this
blind Jew a sum of money. The
very thought of it cut him so
deeply that he wept. No charity
for Ike. He marched right back
to the composing room of the
Asheville Citizen-Times where he
had worked for twelve years;
and fixed himself up a little
lunch counter over in the corner
where he now sells cigarettes,
candy, hot coffee, cold drinks, ice
cream, sandwiches, potato chips
and pie to most of the employees
of the paper. Some of them buy
on credit; so he has learned to
operate a typewriter by the touch
system to enable him to keep a
record of his accounts. He is max
ing a good living at it, supporting
his family, keeping his chin up.
Dependent? I didn't meet a
more cheerful man in all Ashe-
Vile. He loves to hear the voices
of the printers with whom he
has worked for years, to hear all
the familiar sounds of the COM
posing room, the shouted instruc-
tions, the clink and tinkle of the
linotype machines, the scream. OF
a metal saw cutting through a
cast.
AS I talked to him, he radiated
cheerfulness.
Ike Kuperman, you are trl-
butte to your race, to your coun-
try. You are fired by the proud
fighting spirit that inspired our
ancestors to cross the seas, con-
quer the wilderness and build
new civilization. You have in you
some of the Courage and self-re-
lance that inspired our great
gr2ndfathers a century ago, to
load their old shotguns, climb in
the covered wagon and head out
across the plains in the face OF
hell, hunger, high water and
Indians.

Grow Everbearing
Berries In MIS-.

Everbearing strawberries are
providing an excellent source of
income to Western North Case
lima formers who find a market
in the mountain tourist trade, re-
ports H. r. Niswonger, Exten-
sion horticulturist of N. c. State
College. The largest planting in
the State is to be found on the
farm of J. M. Hartley OF Linville
in Avery County.
Mr.. Hartley has three acres OF
one and two-year-old plants OF
the Mastodon and Gem varieties,
Niswonger says. He expects to
market total of 5000 quarts by
fall from these paintings. An
average of 1000 quarts per acre
is normally harvested from the
first crop of the new planting.
Some of the more vigorous hills
will produce from 80 to 12O Der
ries to the plant, and 48 OF these
will fill a quart cup.
c. B. Baird, Avery County
farm agent, reports that ever
bearing strawberries are sold to
tourists and local mountain hotels
at a price of 10 and Is cents per
quart in the summer, and 2O to
Is rents per quart in the fall.
Niswonger recommends that
the everbearing berries be grown
on new ground, which should be
cleared in the fall and burnt over
to kill out forest weeds and
trash. The ground is plowed in
March and the plants set in April.
Plants are secured from an old
planting, which is never allowed
to remain more than two years.
The plants are set II inches apart
in three-foot rows.
All blossoms and new runner
plants are pulled off until the
first of June, and the fruit for
the late crop develops from
August l to as late as the mid
die of October. The following
year, the original planting pro-
duces berries for the early crop,
beginning to ripen June l, and
extending into July. In this way,
two crops a year are harvested
from the same planting.

Lottery Draws Many

LOttery Draws MANY
The draft lottery yesterday
brought many persons to the To-
cal draft board headquarters of the
Beebe street school 70 ascertain
their serial numbers and check their
numbers with the portion of the
draft lottery numbers which were
published yesterday.
Oothers went to the headquarters
today for the same purpose. 1t was
stated that the headquarters will
be open to 6 o'clock tonight for the
convenience of the public, instead of
5 p. m.
Official drawing results are ex-
pected to be received by the local
board Friday at the earliest and il
will of course be some time before
order numbers are completely posted
as the officials will have to separ-
ate the local district numbers from
the approximately 5000 numbers
drawn, check the local numbers with
the names and then give the order
number. This is a task which will
take much time, it is expected.
There was much interest in the
drawing here and virtually all OF
the registrants eagerly scanned lists
of numbers drawn to ascertain il
their numbers had been included.
