PETERSON Editor and Publisher Subscription Price One Year $1.50 Six Months— 75 Gerald Chapman, noted bandit, came to the end of his rope last Monday at midnight. If Oscar Collin goes to the Uni versity as proftssoi of jo'u.:’ w:., ' must surely plant some collards and have him down after the frost falls next fail. The people of Chatlv-'-n enjoy the Easter occasion unusually well. It was only a few years ago that Easter passed without no.-ce n. a large part of the state. Pittsboro children enjoyed' picnics and egg hunts Monday.. The little ones have one continuous picnic as compared with those of a half cen tury ago, but when unusu. al did come it was an event. The tobacco coops saved their bacon in the Raleigh tual. Tney proceeu ed shortly afterward to accept the resignation of their $24,000 Mr. Pat terson. Patterson’s salary, which was once $30,000, we believe, has been one of the chief pricks in the flesh of the average member. If correspondents and advertisers will get their copy to us by Tuesday noon, we might be able to get in the mails Thursuay morii.iig. The Western Newspaper Union branch at Charlotte has suffered an other severe fire loss. That is one of the most useful printing concerns in the country. That fire accounts for our six pages instead of eight pages, as we thought it useless to order the general news we usually run in plate form. JOHNSON AND BROuKS Messrs. R. J. Johnson and W. T Brooks, two of the efficient member* of the county board of commissioners are announcing themselves as candi dates to succeed themselves. They are both good men, have held the jobs only a short while, and deserve elec tion at the hands of the people. It will be hard to oeat let, another either capable and faith ful, has not yet declared his inten tions, but we feel that there would be no mistake made in continuing the present board in office. PLANT SOY BEANS The Record feels that, au> nathan county farmer who fails to plant soy beans will make a serious mistake. - There is no greater unnecessary ta> on the resources of Chatham county than the purchase of foreign hay. Soy beans make the equivalent of grain for fattening hogs and a rich provender for cattle, and at the same time are a soil improver. This para graph is especially pertinent thi week, when County Agent Shiver is advertising seed beans delivered a Bonlee at cost. Seed will be highei later on in the season, even if yoi could then secure them at wholesai cost. Let the farmers of this county gobble up the 240 bushels at bonlet without a minute’s hesitation. J. R. BOWERS The editor of the Record feels i personal loss in the death of Mr. J R. Bowers, of the Lee Hardware Com pany, Sanford. Mr. Bowers was i. most genial gentleman. It was i pleasure to do business with him. Mr. Bowers had spent severa weeks in Florida with a brother, an< after returning home became ill of in fluenza, which was followed by pneu monia. His health was not ver> vigorous' at any time since we hav» known him, and he was unable to sur vive the assault of the disease, dyin* two weeks ago. His funeral wa largely attended by the people o Sanford, who thoroughly appreciate the solid worth of this quiet but ca pable citizen. “BOB” REYNOLDS R. R. Reynolds ot Asnevme is ur. j dertaking to make a personal car. vass of every county in the state i; his race against Senator Overmar for the senatorship. A communicatior from Raleigh tens how mr. ivjynoi has prepared for himself a rod wit slot in the ena in which he p.'acc one of his campaign lira... it to the occupant of any real or: * bile he pas??!?. Necessity is th mother of invention, and there is , vital necessity for, every kind of cor tact possible in trying to get one’L. name and candidacy before the people of the state. Two to one, half th people of the state, yes three-fourths cf them, would not identify Reynold* if his name were called in their pres ence, and it will be about the same Way in June. Consequently, if Mr. Reynolds wants any great shower of votes he would better secure a work er at every precinct possible. One influential citizen of Apex, met only a day or two before the primary two years ago, carried that precinct al most sonmy for a certain candidate The same car-aids'-: sec... a handful of vot.u at clT.tr p::c:in where lie had seen quite a numb r - voters but had found no one win ten it upon himself to solicit votes o:i il. election day. A good worker at th polls at e- cry precinct ih the stab would carry an election for praol. cr.lly the sorriest man in the star, while v ithcuo thorn the best man i: the state could not be nominated oi his hr~t run, against the occupant o: the cilice. Therein lies' the ruiilitj of the present primary system. Complete Funeral Service R. L. PUt-H to SUN . , . Eerieo, N.- C. .

The cere mony was performed in the First Methodist church by the bride’s pas tor, Rev. W. L. Maness, who used the beautiful ring service, in the presence of only the immediate fam ily and intimate friends. Prior to the ceremony, Mrs. Junius Wrenn rendered a most effective program at the piano changing to Lohengrin’s march as the bride and groom un attended approached the improvised altar artistically arranged with ferns and spring flowers. Miss Wrenn’s gown was a handsome jne of navy blue crepe with grey ac ' .essories and she wore a corsage oi i white Kiliarney roses with lines or Valley showered.

Immediately following the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Mattox left for a short trip after which they will return' to Wendell, where Mr. Mattox is a prominent and influential business man and where Mrs. Mat tox will resume until the end of the school term her position as a mem ber of me school faculty.

Washington.—The marquis of Hunt ley, who, as a guest in Washington, has observed the American senate in action, issued a statement explaining the operation of the British house of lords, of which he has been a member for more than 30 years. The statement was issued at the re< quest of and through Vice President Dawes, who i$ conducting a campaign for amendment of the senate rules so that a majority of that body may cut off debate on any subject at any time. The marquis said there was an er roneous impression that the house of iords was without a rule under which a majority could end discussion. “Under the standing orders of th® house (which it is said hare not been titered for more than 200 years),” the marquis said, “any peer may rise In nis place and move that the question aow be put; that a peer, rising to •'peak, be heard in preference to the •eer then addressing the house, and hat any matter is not ‘in order,’ “When either of those motions It nade it is the duty of the lord chan •ellor (who acts solely as ex-officio hairman of the house) or of the lord hahmian of the committee, when the louse is sitting a« a committee, to ,-ead it out and to say ‘those who are n favor of the motion will say “con ent,” the contrary, “not content,’* and f his verdict on the response is ehal enged he orders a, division, the *con ents’ to the right of the throne and he 'pot contents’ to the left of the >ar. By the result the house decides for or against the motion. “It will be seen, therefore, that the lenera) sense of the. house can be ob ained 3nd enforced by a majority of ;he peers present.” ADMINISTRATRIX NOTICE Having qualified as Administratri: e the estate of the late Charts G Ireen, deceased, this is to notify all arsons holding claims against th? aid estate to exhibit the same t' e on or before the 26th day of Feb uary, 1927, or this notice will be •eaded in bar of their recovery.

As a puppy he was Mrs. Archer’s. In 191? ; she f gave him to Mark Noble, but when the son went on on his j travels the dog, by inverted in heritance, became the father’s. * * * At the outbreak of the world war a German vessel was in terned in Wilmington. One day the captain of the ship, a stal wart man with bristling mus taehios, strolled along one of the city’s residential streets. He swung his cane jauntily, and at his heels trotted two bulldogs. Mr. Noble and Bruce were sit ting on a porch. Bruce, the foreigners, declared war two years and a half ahead cf his country. He didn’t send any notes or make any diplomatic gestures whatever. Bounding down the steps, across the lawn, and out of the front gate, he made for the bulldogs. * * * “Hit him!” Mr. Noble called to the German ship captain, not wanting to be responsible, either himself or through his dog, for a breach of neutrality. The cap tain lifted his cane and smote the advancing shepherd. The cane snapped in three pieces, and inly the curved handle was left in the German’s hand. The blow was not even an interruption to Bruce. One of the bulls grabbed him by the neck, the other by a hindleg. Wrenching himself loose, he took one of his foes in his teeth and threw him across the curb. Then he turned and well nigh demolished the other. They both quit the fray and cow ered at the captain’s feet. The captain picked up the fragments of the cane that lay upon the sidewalk, and the three foreign ers moved on. Bruce trotted un concernedly back to the porch. * * * This was only one of the many battles in which Bruce engaged during an eventful life. It was a fair sample. He was a con queror. Bruce knew when Sunday came. Probably because on the , Sabbath his master, after go ing downtown for his newspaper, returned home instead of going ;o his office in the Peabody milding. Sometimes Mr. Noble ocked the dog up while he him ;elf went to church. Bruce ijated this separation. So, he ? ell into the habit of sneaking off he lot on Sunday mornings, a •ound ten o’clock; and invariably Mr. Noble would find him wait ng at the door of the Episcopal diurch. * * * He was closely attentive to the sound of his name not only when he was being called but when he was mentioned in the conversa ion. Sometimes he would be standing close by when Mr. No * * * was talking to Mark over the elephone. Mark would ask as- L er the dog’s health, and Mr. Noble would answer: “Bruce is all right— wait a minute and he’ll talk to you.” Whereupon Bruce would set up a furious larking. This came to be a sort ; ?f ritual. \ ** ❖ | Bruce was fond of ceremonial \ occasions. He attended speech- \ makings in Memorial Hall, and | e put himself at the head of % -arades on the Fourth of July : and University Day, walking se-; ■ dately in front of the band. \ i Other dogs knew better than to!: dispute this place cf honor with ; him.

From mine to market the Ford car is the work of a single or ganization. The Company owns and operates the mines and forests that furnish the raw materials for its products. This material is carried over Ford transportation routes, fabricated in Ford mills, manufactured in Ford plants —and the finished product is sold to the public through Ford dealers. The following statement, previously made in an advertising message, is repeated because of its significance to the public: I “// any other manufacturer endeavored to produce a car similar to the Ford, according to the high stand ards of quality in material and workmanship used by the Ford Motor Company and with the same tried and proved design, it would be impossible to offer it at any thing like Ford prices.
