Dearborn Independent. ! Ninety percent of the silver fox pelts sold now are from ranch bred animals. The American film, “The Birth of a Nation,” has been suppressed by the Paris police. Another attempt will be made to scale Mt. Everest, the world’s highest mountain, in 1924. Brigadier-General Honorable C. Bruce has been chosen to lead the fresh attack. Alaska, with an area one-third greater than the Atlantic States, hi s no more white residents than there are office workers in ony one of several skyscraper buildings of New York City. A nine-room house, estimated to weigh seventy-five tons, was recently towed four city blocks in Los Angel es by a five-ton truck carrying eight tons of pig-iron ballast to give trac tion. Diving on a wet concrete pavement more than 100 wild ducks broke their necks near Champaign, Illinois. The pavement, wet from a drizzling rain and lighted by the moon, looked like a shimmering body of water. Senator Overman, of North Caro lina, is one of the few Senators who occasionally takes a pinch of snuff from the historic snuffboxes in the Senate Chamber, which are kept filled during the sessions of Congress. Former President Harding’s make up rule has been presented to C. F Hard manager of the Front Porch Campaign. The little steel rule was in Warren Harding’s pocket when he was nominated in Chicago, and was with him when he died at San Francis co. Samuel M. Vauclain, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, has a contract with a physician to keep him in physically perfect condition for ten years. A flat sum is paid every year. Every two weeks Mr. Vauclain takes a physical examination. If he falls sick, deductions are made from the annual retainer. After chopping with axes for more than two hours, workmen succeeded in rescuing a man from a block of as phalt where he had been imbedded all night at Canton, Ohio. He had fallen over a small embankment into a pool of warm asphalt while walking near an asphalt plant the night before his discovery. In the meantime the as phalt hardened. He apparently suf fered no serious effects. THE BUZZARD PATROL. “A good newspaper helps to make a good community, but the editor needs the co-operation of the com munity to build a good newspaper. Those who help least, however, are as a rule the hardest knockers.” The foregoing is what the Harnett County News has to say in “Observa tions.” We rather suspect some Chatham ite has moved over into our neighbor \ county. As a general rule we have whole-hearted support over here, but there are a few that are so rotten that the buzzards even shadow them in broad daylight. ! BOYS HEAD CUT. I __ _ Master Frank Gunter, son of Mr. A. B. Gunter, suffered a bad lacera tion of the skin on his forehead and an abrasion of the skull last Friday while at the home of Mr. Tom Grif fin in Oakland township. A number of boys were there and 'hiring a frolic, a rock thrown bv Master Bruce Griffin, son of Mr. Cull Griffin, of Pittsboro, accidentally hit the young fellow. It was first thought th t he was critically injured, but the young man is able to return from Ihe hos pital and is improving rapidly. Freak Sweet Potato. An edible sweet potato measuring thirty-one inches long and weighing a few ounces over thirteen pounds is the freak vegetable produced in the garden of J. J. Lovelace, superintend ent of the federal cemetery at New Bern. A Big Honor. Miss Blanche Barringer, daugh ter of J. V. Barringer, of Norwood, was recently appointed manager of her sorority, the Kappa Delta. She enjoys the distinction of being the first North Carolinian to win this hon or, as it is usually handed to a per son in the north or west. This publi cation is quite large, having about 30,000 subscribers. WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES Some Dates Which June Bridfes May File Away.

Last Thursday was Ford Urban Day !in Raleigh. It had been arranged by , the Merchants Association and from , accounts it proved to be quite a suc cess, both from the novelty of the af fair and a monetary consideration to the merchants who had red need tneir , stocks for the special event, j Prizes were allotted to the oldest j Ford making the trip to the capital, t the Ford being driven by the oldest . man, the oldest woman, the prettiest [ girl, the ugliest man, and the Ford bringing the greater number of peo -1 pie on a single trip. They had ’em there with the brass I radiators, the oil lamps a;,d the rust , ed chassis, and the bioken bodies. | They were there i nevery degree, both mongrel, pup, whelp and hound, and the noise that was produced on Fay etteville street continues to echo the welcome that was given the country visitors. One man took his family of four teen children in a 1911 model, while another included his mother-in-law and her sister’s grand-children ard drove up to the judges’ stand with twenty-two aboard a touring flivver. The one of most interest to our Chat ham County people was that of Mr. U. S. Blair, of Siler City. Early Thursday morning Mr. Blair went to the garage, whispered to his late model “Turn over, Lizzie, it’s me,” and away he went to town, mak ing the entire distance of 75 miles on only four gallons of gasolina, making the cost of transportation per passen ger to the Rodeo event only 16 cents. The old models, with curious tanks, antique ignition, oil lamps and pecu liar design excited a great deal of cu riosity and all who were there thor oughly enjoyed the occasion. , DIARY OF THE PRESIDENT A diary of the president’s doing is generally kept by some one who is close in with the big bugs about Washington. Here is one kept one day by a young lady who lives near ( the White House in Washington and was sent to friend in Pittsboro. . Monday—s A. M. The president opened his eyes and saw a fly in his • room. He had it killed. He arose • a few minutes later and put on his pants. He then put on his shoes and washed his face. In walking around the yard he stubbed his toe. He made an awful face over it but the toe did not hurt long. 9:3o—The president took a drink of water with a little soda in it. That swells him up when he is talking to , the ladies. 11:10—Breakfast is served. He ate i fourteen biscuits besides two. loaves j of bread. Drank two cups of coffee, j He ate other things in proportion and | when he arose from the table he said j he believed he had enough. 2 P. M.—The president is getting hungry. He does not eat between meals so he will have to wait for din ner, which is served at 9 o’clock. He smokes a cigarette and reads a love story in the Congressional Record. He drinks more water. 9 P. M.—Dinner is served. Corned beef and cabbage was the ruling dish. He had company for dinner in the person of Mr. Jiggs. Mr. Jiggs is very fond of corned beef and cab bage. 12 M.—The president retires. He 1 is trying to do without sleep like Edi i son. j lA. M.—The president is snoring so loud that no one in the house can sleep for the noise. 2 A. M.—The president has turned over on his left side and quit snor ing. I am wondering when the president will eat supper. I guess it will be next day. That’s all MARY KANT. A NEAR TRAGEDY. While the Sanford High School football team was en route to Raleigh last Friday to play a game with the Raleigh highs, an automobile in which they were riding turned over at Mer ry Oaks and burned up. All tne boys escaped with minor injuries, but they lost their regalia. It Is the Same Here When a fond parent asked his little son why he was always at the foot of the class the boy re plied that it did not make any difference that the teacher taught ail the pupils the same things anyway. 1 Same here. We treat ’em all alike. We give first class service and you will always find us on the job. You are next. Give us a call. M. H. Hackney, Expert Artist. Pittsboro, N.C. FARM FOR SALE.
