Blackwood, Father Hegar ty and about 100 other distinguished citizens were the guests at a ban quet last evening of D. C. Shaw who recently bought the Colonia. The dining room in which the ban quet was held presented a brilliant scene. Four guests were seated at each of the 30 tables which were adorned with cut flowers, and fur nished with fine linen and handsome table ware. ^The dining room has re cently been done over and its immac ulate walls and ceiling and pillars showed the taste of the management and the skill of the decorator. The following menu was served: Grape fruit maraschino, celery, roast ??d nuts, olives, potage a la Reine, fowled live lobster, matre d'hotel. pommes tarcie, stuffed lamb chops, green ?peas, sweetbread patties, punch Colonia, roast capon stuffed with nut dressing, cranberry jelly,, tettuce and tomato mayonnaise, nea politan ice cream, assorted cake, strawberries, cheese, coffee, cigars, cigarettes. Before the banquet the guests gath ered in the lobby and there had a gay and lively time while fruit punch was served, and music was made by Hall's orchestra . Parties were conducted through the kitchen and pantries, and there they, saw the latest improved methods of cooking. Everything was of the latest approved model in respect to hygiene anid efficiency. What attracted most attention was the automatic egg cook er. In it an egg would be placed and ? the machine set for two or three min utes or whatever time it was desired to boil the egg. At the appointed mo ment the egg was hoisted out of the boiling water into the air. Gas is the only fuel used in the ranges and other cooking utensils. Everything was immaculate. Every thing was systematically arranged. Everything was attractive. The Co lonia has been done over and is now in the hands of experienced and capable men who have made successes else where. The opening last night was auspicious and foretold the success of the Colonia under its new manage ment. Crown W. Wilson, who comes here after managing a hotel at Gastonia. successfully, is the new manager. The chief clerk is J. J. Griffin and the other two clerks are P. C. Mellichanrp and F. F. Wilour. Miss Martha Real is the housekeeper. R. S. Davis is the steward. Tvi-es of Fame. Washington. I)?-c. 20.?A poplar; tree at Sparenburg. S.

LIQUOR PROPA j GANDA WARNING [Anti-Saloon League is Making No Fight on Tobacco as Reported i - ! Atlanta, Jan. 13.?A warning to the people of America not to be misled i and blinded by the subtle propa ganda of the liquor forces to the ef fect that the Anti-Saloon League, i having outlawed liquor, is planning War on tobacco in all its-forms, is contained in a statement issued through the prohibition enforcement} campaign headquarters in Atlanta by Wayne B. Miller, of Washington, gen-! eral counsel for the league, stressing the necessity for earnest support in the week's campaign for funds to as sist in enforcing the prohibition laws of the country which begins January ,1ft, the day the eighteenth amend-j ment goes into effect. Mr. Wheeler | points out that the wet forces are j slopping at nothing in their efforts! to discreditfthe prohibition forces and are spending money lavishly in then efforts to undermine and overthrow the prohibition laws. Great publicity is given " to wet propaganda that the Anti-Saloon League will prohibit tobacco next says Mr. Wheeler. The National To bacco League has denied that it is in anyway responsible for this propagan da and that most of its officials are for prohibition, this propaganda of course is false. "The liquor interests have thrown ' down the challenge all along the line In Rhode Island a wet legislature passed a four per cent beer bill anc gave $3,000 for the attorney general t< fight the lSth amendment; -in Mary land the governor has appealed U the legislature to repeal ratification o" the lSth amendment; in Virginia the liquor forces are attempting to abol ish "the office of law enfou-ement com missioner; in New Jersey the govern or promised in his campaign to makt^ the State as wet as the Atlantic -bceai if he were elected.

ADVERTISING IN . SURES BUSINESS Public opinion of a product?or ar institution?or a man?is former through a series of impressions. A good word about you from youi acquaintances is of vital value and j it is true and often repeated, it i: bound to be converted into patron age. The same is true of the thing yoi sell?the measure of the demand fo; it depends upon how favorably anc widely it is known. Word of mouth, if favorable, wil sell an article; but word of mouth it order to have its full beneficial effect must be stimulated. Advertising rs the best stimulant and?when wisely done?is an invest ment that often brings immediate re turns and always brings them even tually. It creates in turn attention, ihteres" and mqtrrry. Then, if you and youi product bear the test of inquiry i-alcs inevitably result. As-there are many good men whe are disregarded because they are tin known, so there are many good firo ducts which fail to move for the sam< reason. So it is that far-reaching and pru dent merchant estimates the gros business he expects to do and lays aside a certain percentage of it foi advertising purposes. In doing this he is not influenced so much by the direct help he expert. it wilT bring him?this week?or month?or year?but to a greater de gree by the good will and prestige h< Knows by experience thai it will cre ate. you ~pay for insurance on your lift and your material possessions, know ing that there will be no immediate returns from the premiums yon pay. Advertising is done largely for tin same end although the substantial re turns are usually forthcoming within a much shorter period. So just as you keep on paying your insurance premiums in order to keep your policies alive, so you must keep on advertising in order to keep your business alive. if you cannot maintain advertising consistently?if you are a so-called "In-an-Outer"?you might better not advertise at all.

FORESTS WILL BE EXHAUSTED i ;Rate of Depletion Probably is Three Times Annual Growth I The rate of depletion of the forests I of this country is more than twice, probably three times, what is actually being produced by growth in a form serviceable for products other than firewood. Consequently, high prices of lumber are not wholly due to in creased costs of production. An im portant factor is the evcrretreatihg sources of timber supply. Already the supplies of all the great eastern centers of production are approaching exhaustion, with the exception of the South, and even there most of the mills have not over 10 to 15 years' supply of virgin timber. Already the southern pine is being withdrawn from many points as a competitive factor and its place taken by western timbers. This inevitably results in added freight charges which the con sumer must pay. These facts ara called to public at tention in the annual report of the forester of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, recently pub lished. Their presentation is accom panied by a plea that the nation idopt an enlarged program of public ^requisition of forests by the govern ment, the States, and municipalities, and protection and perpeti^uion of (V.rest growths on all privately own ed lands which may not better he used for agriculture and settlement;, In the early years of the present century it looked as though the man foment of forests as permanent, pro ductive properties might be voluntar ily undertaken by private owners or, "i large scale, hut since then the sit uation has materially change' T)y teed for the adoption of an eii.nrge,-; ?irogram of acquisition, the TTniTe? itates Department of Agriculture joints out. ha? become increasing!} irgfnt. Afore than 20 years ago the fViyfcion of Forestry, as it was ther: ?ailed, offered to give advice and as ;is:anee to private timber owners who alight wish to consider applying for est mangement to their properties. B> he middle of 1905 requests had been ?eceived for the examination of pri /ate holdings, large and small, com orising in all 10,900.000 acres of land. Many of these requests were from large lumber companies and other owners of extensiv?* timber tracts. On he strength of the showing made by he preliminary examinations, a num ber of these large owners entered, into cooperative agreements for the prepa ration of working plaus. But private forest interests failed t< 'ollow up the beginning, and the fed eral government and the States, in th< opinion of the department of agricul ture; must join hands to work out a >rogram that will correlate public and Private efforts looking to the protec :ion and proper administration of for ?sts. The function of the federal gov >rnment in addition to handling the lational forests, it is suggested, woulc ?timulate. guide. and coordinate ^tate action and conduct necessary in-1 ?estigations regarding the best meth- j >ds of forestry, to assist the States in i he Classification of land, and to bar nonize action between the differem j ?tates. The States would also handh >ublic property owned by them ane hey would have a further direct re sponsibility in connection with ih< protection and perpetuation of pri- [ /ate forest lands. ) With regard to the federal attitud' oward private forestry, it is suggested, hat the government would work pri narily through State agencies. To Jn tiate the proposed policy, a federal aw would be necessary authorizing he government to cooperate with the States in bringing about the protec 'ion and right handling of forest land-1 vithin their borders and providing neans for such cooperation.

" President Wilson's message was transmitted by the State Department to the United States, embassies in the countries named for formal presenta tion to those governments. It was the same in each case, with the ex ception of the address, and the full text of the call sent to London fol io v/s: "In compliance with article 5 oi the Covenant of the League of Na tions. wlr'_-h went into effect at the samp time as the treaty of Versailles of June 2S. 191 f?. of which it is a part, the President of the United States, acting on behalf of those na tions which have deposited theirin struments for ratification in Paris as certified in a process verbal drawn up by\the French government, dated Jan uary, 1920, has the honor to inform the government of Great Britain thai the first meeting of the council of thi league of nations wiTLbe held in Paris at the ministry of foreign affairs on f Friday.

SAVE THE MEAT In the Southern States, unless son. method of artificial cooling is , used meat while it is being cured is apt t< become tainted, even in the winter There are many meat refrigerators o: ! the market, but one large enough t< j hold a sufficient amount of meat i> j usually tu ore exepnsive than, man? ; farmers can afford. Another draw back to the large eomnierei .1 type foi this purpose is that its use is limited to a few weeks: for it is too large and consumes too much ice to br used as a house refrigerator the -es: of the year. The initial expense of j an.ice box .for use during meat cur i ing is high, and its life is compara- ' lively short; for the salt atmosphere tends to rust the inside metal fittings and these are difficult for an amateur to mend or replace; An inexpensive cold storage plan to use while curing meat is describe'' by specialists of the United States De partment of Agriculture. The equipment needed consists of }> j good hardwood barrel with the head j out. and a galvanized tub that iH small enough to slip into the barrel j and allow the rim to catch art i hold i on the upper edge of the barrel. This will suspend the tub in the upper i part of the barrel. When the meat Is cooled, salted, and ; ready to cure fill the barrel about two-1 thirds full of the meat. or*to within an j inch or two of the bottom of the tub i Suspend the tub. which has been tilled with ice, in the top of the barrel above j Ihe meat, or fill the tub after putting: it in position. Wrnp the top of the: ice with cloth, and then cover the-top of the. barrel wiih cloth, old sacks, or paper. Replenish the ice as needed, j and empty water from the tub when | putting in more ice.

THE PRICE OF WOOL Correspondence Between Gov ernment Official and Head of Wool Trust The War Department authorizes publication of the following state ment from the Office of the Director of Sales: The Director of sales herewith makes public correspondence between his office and Wm. M. Wood, presi dent of the American Woolen Com pany, regarding the sale by auction and otherwise, of surplus wool held by the War Department since the signing of the armistice. The making public of the corre spondence follows the publication of an interview in which Mr. Wood is .Quoted as having said that the pres ent method of the War Department in disposing of its surplus wool has "produced an effect in the prices of clothing." at the expense of the con sumer. In a letter and telegram dated Jan uary 2, addressed to E. C. Morse. Di rector of Sales, Mr. Wood gave a re sume of the interview mentioned. "I recited that the Government recently sold at auction in Boston. Australian' wool at $2.15 per pound, and that the action of the Government in releasing a part of this Australian wool to the British government and selling the rest from time to time at auction at high prices had produced an effect in the price of clothing made of fine wools." Mr. Morse, in his reply to Mr. Wood, said: "The War Department has offered at auction to date approximately 493. 000.000 pounds of wool; has sold, to date 354.000.000 pounds; and ha? withdrawn from sale 139.000.000 pounds. "At the signing of the armistice, the War Department had option on 100. 000.000 pounds of Australian wool, together with an enormous surplus held in this country. The War De partment was anxious to liquidate it? wool business at the earliest possible moment and was able to cancel 66. itOO.OOO pounds from option on Aus tralian wool. Soon after the signing of the armistice, the War Department requested the War Trade Board to re move all restrictions on importation of wool in order that United State? I merchants and manufacturers migh. have free access to the wool supplies of the outside world. One of the Wai Department's general policies has beer to sell in the United States everything which has a ready market. This haf meant, in the case of wool, refusal ol many ?fters which would have brought greater financial return to the War Department, but which would have taken the wool out of the country. The withdrawal prices were based not on cost to the War Department but on the world's market price foi wool in most instances materially be low the world's market price and oj low grades of wool as much as of' per cent below the world's marke: price. "The records show that the Ameri can Woolen Company bought larg< quantities of wool at these auctions Your statement that in every sab the Government fixes a price equa to its cost is not correct inasmuch a: the Government did not consider cos in fixing withdrawal prices." In substantiating his claim, Mr More also makes public a section of a report made by A. W. Elliott, for mer chief of the Wool Top and Yar? j Branch, Clothing and Equipage DT j vision, at Bosjon, in which Mr. Elliot' says: "The War Department offerer nearly twice as much wool as wa? consumed during the period from De cember 18 1918 to July 1, 1919, and sold 66.000,00"G pounds more than wa.? consumed during that period. Th< War Department's withdrawal price: at all times have been as low. if no; lower, than similar wool could be oh tained for anj where else in th< world." BIG GAME HERDS EVCREASE Big game animals are increasing in the four big game reservations un der control of the United States De partment of Agriculture. The repor: of the . Chief of the Bureau of Bio: logics; Survey show- a total of 36.* bison, 274. elk. ;">4 antelope, and 2J deer, an increase in each species ovei the number reported last year. Th? number of visitors to the nig gam< reservations is also growing, says th? report. ________ BIG ROAD BUILD ING Funds avilable for the constrlte tion of hard .surface roads in; fee" United States 5n 1920 are more tn&h three times greater than in any pf? vious year. The United States de partment of Agriculture estimates the amount at $6o3,000,000, and many leading authorities believe the appto priations will reach a final total :?f $1,000.000,000. The previous maxi mum yearly expenditure' has nefer exceeded $200.000,000. This recognition of the need lor adequate highways by the national State and county legislatures is re garded by leaders in the motor truck industry as indicative of the accept ance of highway transportation on a par with the railroads. "It does not mean, however, taat the good roads problem has been solved," said R. E. Fulton, vice presi dent of the international Motor Co., manufacturers of Mack trucks, in: a recent interview. "The problem mere ly assumes a different aspect. ? "Although the American people are demanding a comprehensive system'?t highways and are willing to pay t?e price, the expenditure of this huge ?pr propriation is dependent upon thtfe' .things, first, the supply of highw?y construction materials; second, abiilty of the railroads to furr enough cars to transport this mat Sal.< and third, the ability of engineers and contractors, with the requif4$i labor, to handle the construction. These three factors, under present conditions, are direct limitations the anticipated highway program. \; "A shortage of road materials ^.ill be sure to develop as the 1920-cen struction is put under way. It is estfc mated that the average cost of dmf roads for next year will be about $20? 000 a mile. Allowing but 400 tons^f materials per mile, road construction will need not less than 12O,O00,Q4fr tons of materials, a figure far. abo^ei the supply now available. The rsfrf* roads at present are seriously over burdened with freight and are una|&f to handle even the present amount^Bf traffic. The demands upon en^inee^. 01 tractors and labor already exceeds their capacity. With the amount ^?f money willing to be spent more th^t hipied and with facilities for ?pefipf-, ing it less adequate than formerly;;.^ is \ery doubtful that the program e&ji bs carried out unless measures are adopted to overcome these limitations. I - "In this connection, it is certain I that the motor truck will be called On to act as its own benefactor by haul ! the material from the source of si i ply to the construction area, and Jfcgr,, taking over short haul shipm< ' from the railroads, thereby reles cars for transporting the matei over longer distances. "Highway transportation pir?nio;^?. ers and good roads enthusiasts have won their point as far as pb?lie rec-. ognition is concerned, and it only reV mains for construction facilities ;td be improved before this country w3$I have a system of highways that w$? offer unlimited development for intQr- - tor truck transportation." Japanese are Welcomed in Sout? America. Tokio, Nov. 20.?The number Japanese laborers going abroad, mafieK* !y to South America has considerabijrj decreased, says a semi-officialv "Vjr*. nouncement. This is attributed to business boom which took place jn; Japan during the war and'which open ed up opportunities for industrial a/lid commercial activities here. ? Emigrants to Peru where Japan|jtfe now go without restriction numbers, about 1.200 for the present year, a decrease of about 20 per cent frofe. fast year. Japanese emigrants ' t? Brazil thus far this year total 2,560. as compared to 5,500 during a cor responding period last year. ? The ?ftatement asserts that Japanese'emi-. grants in South America have rec?xv id an enthusiastic welcome elsery* \vhere since the beginning of the War: which stopped the coming of Euro peans."
