PAGE FOUR I The I RED LAMP | I f | .ARV ROBERTS RIMMA*. Copyright by Geo. H. Dortn Comptaf WNU Servico Halliday’s expert was not partic ularly helpful, I gather. We have this to our advantage, however, if ad vantage it be; the typing was done on a Remington machine. As I had expected, he does not take i Annie Cochran’s story very serious ly, but he bases his skepticism rather on the beginning of the terror before the boy came, than on the attack on the boy himself. Aside from this blind alley, up which Annie Cochran started us, we are ail more nearly normal than we have been since the early days of the summer. I rise, shave and bathe and go to my breakfast, no longer with the feeling that it may be, figuratively speaking, my last. We are not worried by the uncer tainty of the prospect before us; the long period ahead of Edith and Halll day before they can marry; that next year, and the year after that, and God knows how many years to coma, I shall be pouring the priceless treas ures of the English language into ears that will not hear; that my vaca tion is more than half over, and that ■its net result so far is a loss to me of some odd pounds of weight. August 7. Edith has today received the large sum of ten dollars for the lighthouse story. While she is still far from the opulence she has anticipated, there has been great excitement here today, on receipt of the check. I find that Halliday has been quiet ly working along the lines opened up I by Annie Cochran. He is convinced that Gordon has been going out at nights, clandestinely, and using the car to do so. “I don’t blame him for that,’* he said today. “The car’s there, and not being used. And —I’m not keen about Gordon —but from such views as I have had of Mr. Bethel, a little of him would go a long way. Gordon’s disconnected the speedometer, by the way. But there’s something else.” He thinks it was Gordon who set fire to the boathouse. He found a bit of waste outside the garage, hang ing on a limb of blue spruce there, and a similar scrap on the raised walk over the marsh to the boathouse. “But why?” I asked. “There has to be a reason.” *T can go a long way for one,” he said thoughtfully, “and imagine he knows I’Ve been working on the ease ■and wants to get rid of me. But I grant that’s not good. Burning me out wouldn’t do that, unless he hoped I was inside! But that is to imply that he is guilty of the crimes, and I don’t believe it.” But he added, as an afterthought: “There's one curious thing, though. That is. it may be- curious; I’m not sure. The machine he’s using is a Remington.” August 8. This has been a nerve-racking day. I for one am willing to cry quits, to compromise with crime, and to say, in effpct, that if the murderer leaves us alone we will not disturb him. My condition probably arises from sheer confusion. For the life of me I cannot see where the results of Halli day’s search can lead us, nor I think does he. . . . Edith this morning, at Halliday’s request, telephoned to Gordon and asked’ him to- lunch with us. He ac cepted; after a 1 brief hesitation, and promptly at one o’clock came down the drive,- dad: in< white flannels and with an additional! dose of pomade on: his hair. Whether he was- suspicious or not we cannot tell. I know that, watching him from a window, part way down the drive he came to a dead stop and then turned, as if he had some idea of going back on some pretext or other. But die evidently thought bet ter of it, looked at his watch, and! came on again. He made a poor impression on us; furtively watching Jane’s choice of f6rk or ’ spoon and otherwise bestow ing most of his attention on Edith. Such attention, that is, as he be stowed on anybody at the beginning. And he was restless. From where he- sat he had his back to the win dows, but more than once he managed to turn anu'iook out. I had the feel ing that the small room enclosed him too much; that he felt somehow trapped. And more- Ilian once I found his eyes on me, and felt that be sus pected me of some purpose he was attempting to discover. His nervousness finally infected me, and even . Jane began to show signs of distress.* The small lunch party, for some reason she could not un derstand, was going badly. Only Edith played up well; she pushed back her plate at last, and with her elbows on the table and her chin in her hands, said; .

Henderson is attend ing summer school at Duke, prepar ing to teach again next winter. The homes of Mr. D. B. Woody, Mrs. N. A. Perry, Mrs. J. T.

Messrs. E. J. Clark and W. F. Jones and family were with us Sunday from Emmaus and as always were welcome. Several cows have been bought and other steps taken toward being ready for the opening of the new milk route. There are now thirteen members of the route. Others will probably enter later. Unfortunately our people are not in position to put much cash into making ready, but hope to be in better shape with in a year or two. Miss Estelle Dark has been ill and it is feared an operatibn may be necessary sooner or later. We were glad to see Mrs. P. A. Thomas able again to be out Sunday. H. M. Marshall has begun work on a new house on the farm he re cently bought some time ago on route 2. He will be a near neighbor of Mr. and Mrs. J. Frank Durham. <g> Home Coming at Pleasant Hill There will be a home-coming, all day service at Pleasant Hill Method ist Church next Sunday.

Fergu son and others of the Hickory Moun tain community will accompany the county agent on a visit to the Rey nolds dairy farm near Winston-Salem this week for the purpose, of inspect ing a registered Jersey bull- that is for sale. Mr. Henry Harrington of Brick haven, who is conducting a five-acre cotton demonstration this year, has some fine cotton; not only in the five acre plot, but his entire crop as well. Mr. Harrington side dressed all of his cotton with nitrate of soda. Any one travelling the highway between Pittsboro and Siler City can see a sight that should gladden the eye. Ernest Brewer has seeded five acres just behind his store at Kim bolton in sweet clover, which has made a luxurious growth all over this field. Sweet clover will transform this field from a washed away hill side to a fertile field. The county agent had the pleasure of visiting two of the best fields of corn seen yet last week. The first one visited was on the county home farm. Johnson is expecting a yield of fifty bushels per acre from this field. However, “Doc.” Thomas is run ning him a close race with his ten acre field on his farm near Siler City. Both of these men are demon strating that corn can be produced more economically through larger yields per acre. Mr. O. L. Lambert of Siler City R. F. D.

While Mr. Lambert is leading in pork production this month, the other men who are feeding out hogs are pushing him close. Mr. J. M. Ed ward’s pigs averaged 160 pounds this month. Mr. J. M. White is putting good weights on his pigs also, as is his brother, Mr. Ira White. Mr. M. W. Culberson is coming along nicely with his sixteen porkers also. Messrs. C. W. Jordan, J. W. Dixon, Jr., W.

As a source of hay, this is an excellent crop, and will do well on our deep, red and lighter red soils of this county. The field on which alfalfa is to be planted should be thoroughly im proved and prepared before planting. Due to the fact that but little cul tural attention or fertilization is re quired after planting, farmers are justified in thoroughly preparing the soil before planting. Here are some good rules to follow to insure a good stand of alfalfa: 1. Plow to a good depth during the summer. 2. Harrow lightly at intervals to keep down weeds. 3. Apply two tons of ground lime stone per acre and harrow in. 4. Shortly before planting, apply five hundred pounds per acre of a high grade complete fertilizer. 5. In September, -when the soil is sufficiently moist, sow seed at the rate of 30 pounds per acre. 6. Be sure that the seed are well inoculated before seeding. CALF CLUB SHOW TO BE HELD DURING AUGUST <SE SEPTEMBER Plans are under way for the hold ing of a calf club show at some cen tral point in the county during- Aug ust or September. The county agent is expecting 100 per cent attendance at this show, and this means that each of the thirty-two boys ; in: Chat ham county owning, registered Jer sey heifers must show them. Prizes will be awarded to the best"- heifer shown, and 12 of the- best heifers will be selected for a Chatham Coun ty Calf Club exhibit' at the 1 State Fair in Raleigh, “FARM PHILOSOPHY" If your neighbor owns his farm; he is a better neighbor.
