Then he organised the Northeast Georgian which he later sold. Every tiny mite ot experience on these papers he profited by. He had been editor of his college paper at Piedmont college, Demorest, but he married before graduating from college so his newspaper' training has come to him by sheer hard work, and his own study and through no school of Journalism, Having acquired sufficient experience on his own papers to get a job on other papers he worked on several, and finally settled in Tryon, N.

But some, how the tiny little sheet "struck tire." People did not want to give it up They kept asking trr It. And It kept on coming out.

CHICAGO Teaching wom en how to walk without a wlccie ot shoulders and hips, says one who has made a living out of such teaching, demands an Interest In books any old books. Lester Esslg. who developed a "charm" school from a costuming and cosmetic business, first teaches hla pupils how to walk. And to rid them ot the shaking shoulder and wiggling hip, he starta them walking around with a book or two on their beads.

Esalg first taught folk ot the stage bow to walk, hold their hands, stand, what to wear and how to make-up.

The lower part of the cabin Is enclosed galvanized steel aheets end the upper part has two large windows oa each side, "providing an unobstructed view In every direction of the compass, so that forest fires may be detected at the first puff ot smoke. The cabin will be equipped with a tolcpbone and a map of the terrt.

By sighting over the eross bar on this Instrument in the direction ot the fire It will Indicate Immediately on lbs map placed under the Instrument the exact location of the fire and permit quick, access through definite Instructions to fire fighting crews. The telephone will be connected with headquarters of the caretaker, who. will, have a crew of men previously arranged for to extinguish the tire. In 'addition the towerman wilt be equipped with high powened glftesea to aid In sighting forest fifes on days or poor visibility and materially Increase the visible' area on clear days.

Promptness "in reaching a forest fire with ft sufficient number of men and satisfactory tools la most essential la reducing forest fire" losses and quick detection Is a most Important factor to that enfl. This first observation station Is Just a beginning of what must be done to protect South 'Carolina's tlmberland areas from the ravage af tire creating a lose ag gregating millions of dollars. Several other towers are under consideration that will provide quick detection service for many other tlmberland owners. More than eight million acres of forest land in South Carolina are badly in need of forest Are protection. Woods rires must stop, or at least be materially reduced, if the State Is to hold her rightful place In the economic development of the nation and continue to make the progress due her through bestowed natural resource possibilities.

With at least twelve and one-half million acres not needed for agricultural purposes at the present time on which timber can be profitably grown, the vast; sum of $25,000,00 00 annually In wood growth can be produced. At present not one-sixth ot the tlmberland ot the State is growing timber on a profitable basis. Forest fire is the main cause for this unproductive condi tion or the valuable wood producing soil of the State. Experiments now under way already prove conclusively that South Carolina contains millions of acres of otherwise un. productive land that Is capable of growing from one and one-half to two and three-tenths cords or wood per acVe per year.

This large an- ual wood production reduced to a monetary value means from two to four dollars per acre per year as a minimum and may bring much larger returns when the timber now being protected la of saw log size. Under present conditions mil lions ot seres in me tsate are scarcely paying the taxes because wood is grown only from one-half to two-thirds as fast on land burn cd over annually as on nnburned areas. Burning the woods creates a useless and unnecessary waste of money. The State Forestry Commission is materially Interested in reducing this unwarranted wante. and Is now engaged In forming forest fire protective units for the purpose oMr'edadn forest fires.

The United States Government in cooperation with the Commission pays a part or protection costs under agreement with the Commission. All the large Iodine content products ought to be grown that the public will consume, but why not grow timber on all potential tlmberland areas not needed for this purpose. Keeping the for ems green and productive will Increase hunting and fishing and other recreational possibilities and prevent erosion of value producing soil that Is continually filling the beautiful stream and domestic water sup-pile; oT the State.

There Is no telegraph news only local with an occasional piece of national news but all the local news there is Is published In this tiny sheet In the shortest, snappiest, to-the-point manner possible. And scattered all between the news Items are the advertisements thai stand out big and bold and so noticeable that he who runs may read. And this pleaies the advertisers. For a little ad In a little paper stands out ever so much bigger than a little ad in a big paper.

And so the adverting pours in. When afternoon comes people stand around waiting for the Dally Bulletin to appear. And the people In Tryon. both a winter and summer resort, are there from all parts of the United States and some places In Europe. And when the artists, writers, educators, doctors and people of many other professions who make up the summer and-nter colonies of Tryon want to know what Is happening In their colony they look to "the smallest daily newspaper iWthe world."
