Where Money Comes From and Its Outgo The largest percentage of each current expense dollar for schools comes from local and county ad valorem taxes and the largest per centage of this same dollar is spent for instructional service, according to the current issue of State School Facts, the official publication of the state superintendent of public in struction. . . . School Facts carries m this issue a chart showing by percentages the source of all current funds, as well as tlio phase of school operation foi which it is spent; or as the chart states, “where it comes from and “what becomes of it.” In other words, out of every dollar received for the current operation of the schools, 54.9 cents comes from county wide ad valorem taxes, 21.4 cents from local district ad valorem taxes, 13.6 cents from state funds, 5.1 cents from poll taxes, fines and forfeitures in the county, 3.5 cents from the preceding year’s balance, and 1.5 cents from miscellaneous sources. On the other hand, for every dol lar spent, 77.2 cents is for instruc tional service, that is the salaries of teachers, principals and supervisors and instructional supplies; 7.6 cents for auxiliary agencies, that is trans portation of pupils, cafeteria sand book stores; 6.2 cents for the op eration of the plant, or such items as wages of janitors and other em ployees, fuel, water light, power and janitors’ supplies; 5.2 cents for general control, or the expenses of the board of education, the salaries and expenses of superintendent, at tendance officer, and clerical and office expense of the administrative officer; 2.6 cents for maintenance of the school plant or such expenses as repairs, replacements and upkeep; and 1.2 cents for fixed charges— rents and insurance. <g> Instructions The beautiful creature was just leaving the hotel where she had stayed for the past year. “This is my address,” she said to the clerk. “But if any letters come from a tall, dark man, throw them in the waste-paper basket.” —Tit-Bits. ■ —— Returning a Favor Wife (reading a newspaper): “Here’s an account of a bachelor who left all his money to the woman who rejected him.” Hubby: “And yet we are told there’s no gratitude in the world!”— Passing Show. <§> That Kind Tall: “Boy!

TUB CHATHAM RECORD, PHT3BORQ, N._C. :j: Pitching to £ & Babe Ruth i • f v By RING LARDNER y «j* *■»* To the Editor: This is just a few items of informa tion about a ball player that maybe you have never heard of him so I will tell you his name in the first paragraph and his name is George Ruth, but they call him Babe on acct. of him over G ft. tall and pretty near as wide and be Is a great left hand pitcher that don’t pitch. Well, 1 day in May I had seen a whole lot of sporting events that bores you to death and the White Sox from old Clii was playing in New York City so I thought I needed a lit tle more boreing, so I went to the Yankee’s Stadium and went down to the bench and Mgr. Schalk was set ting there and lie says hello to me but I just made a face at him, but he asked me to set down a minute and a boy named Thomas was going to pitch and he was out there warm ing up and finely he got warmed and came into the bench and Mgr. Schaik said: “Come here and sit down a minute, Tommy, as I want to talk to you." So Tommy set down and Mgr. Schalk said to him: “Say, listen Tommy. They’s a man on this New York club named Ruth and he isn’t Cobb and he Isn’t Speak er or Sisler or Jackson. He is a bird that if you ever throw a ball where he can reach It that ball won’t be available for tomorrow’s game and baseballs cost as much money as other commodities now days, so if you don’t mind, why when this guy comes up there don’t pitch him any thing that he can lay his bat against It, but roll the ball up there on the ground and I'll take the conse quences." So Tommy said: “Yes, sir." Well, they started this game in the first inning and the White Sox didn’t do nothing, and it come the New York’s turn to get their innings and there was 1 out and Koenig got on lstbasg. ajlil Mpng Ruth. The 'nexT thing I seen "of that 2 dol lar bad was when it was floating over the right field bp when Topfniy came in]6 the bench Mgr. Schalk says what did I tell you and Tommy says I didn’t mean to pitch it where it w^nt. So the next time Babe come up all he got was a 3 base hit because they wore pitching more carefully to him. Well, after a wile it become necessary to put in a pinch hitter for Tommy and Red Faber was sent in to finish the game. Mgr. Schalk didn’t tell Red where to pitch to Babe because Red’s what you might call an old timer, so Red pitched one at this bird’s Adam’s apple and he hit it into the right field stands for another homer, as I have nicknamed them. Now this isn’t no reflection on neither of these pitchers witch I hope is both friends of mine, but if I was managing a ball club in the American league, I would tell them how to pitch to this bird. I would stand on the mound and throw the first ball to first base and the seco. d ball to sec ond base and the third ball to third base and then I would heave the fourth one out In the right field, because he couldn’t be in all those places at once and furthermore, they’s a rule that makes a batter stand in the batter’s box and if a person pitches in that direction with this guy up why all you can say about them is that they are a sucker For inst. the last time the White Sox was here a certain prominent Chicago baseball writer was setting next to Col. Ruppert that owns the Yanks, and this Geo. Ruth comes up and the brewery king says to him, how much will you bet that he don’t crack one out of the park on this occasion. So the baseball writer says what’s the proper odds? So Jake says, well 1 don’t want to cheat you and I’ll bet a pt. to a qt. that he murders one. So the sucker took it and the first ball was a foul that went into Mr. McCurdy’s ft., and the next was a ball and then the old boy took one right over the middle for another strike and the next one hasn’t yet been located, but when last seen it was soreing over a cig arette sign in right center. Another way to make him stop hit ting home runs off of you is to refuse to pitch when it’s his turn. The most useless thing in the world when this guy’s up there to bat is the opposeing catcher, because if you can throw a ball past Mr. Ruth why it don’t make no difference if it’s catched or not, where as if you try and throw one over the plate it won’t never get as far as the catcher. Once a guy came here with the St. Louis Browns and struck the Babe out three times in one after noon. and if he is smart he will let that go down into posterity, and the next time they tell him it’s his turn , to pitch vs. the N. Y. club he will say he has got a sore arm. ((c) by the Bell syndicate. Inc.)

D. LeGear, V. S., of St. Louis, Mo. “Youth will be served’' so runs the old proverb. Os course, no reference to poultry was intended, but it hap pens to fit just the same. As a rule, pullets lay more eggs during their first laying season than during any subsequent season. Consequently, If hatches are correctly timed so that plenty of pullets will be brought to maturity some time during the latter part of August or September, a ban ner winter egg season is bound to follow. Pullets hatched during Febru ary or March, according to breed, should begin laying just about the right time for winter eggs. Pullets should not be allowed to come into maturity too quickly. Nor mally, a pullet starts to lay eggs as soon as she has reached maturity and her body has ceased to grow. Sometimes laying smarts somewhat before full growth has been reached and further growth may cease. Such pullets may remain undersized and their eggs may be defective and small. If pullets are maturing too rapidly their mash and animal food should be reduced. The grain rations may also be slighty increased, as pullets should have a good reserve store of body fat before they start laying. Otherwise they will not stand up well under the strain of laying and may fall considerably short of the "possible maximum egg pro duction. For that reason, many poultry men make a marked increase in the quantity of grains fed to the pullets as their combs begin to red den. At the same time, they cut down on the mash and animal food; beef scraps or similar material. The grain is fattening, whereas the ani mal food being no longer required for muscle building as the birds reach maturity, may start egg pro duction before it is desirable. It is usually considered better not to force pullets into premature lay ing by feeding large quantities of mash. Instead, limit the mash until pullets are quite ready to lay and, by feeding a greater amount of grain, to get them fat. Such a ration emphasizes the fat making material and, by withholding the eggmaking materials, removes the danger of a too early maturity. Mash should not be entirely eliminated, as it contains materials needed for building up the muscles of young fowls. Too much of it, however, may precipitate egg lay ing before it is desirable. Give the developing pullets all the grain they will eat during early fall and after they come into normal laying, gra dually decrease grain with a corres ponding increase in mash feeding. If pullets have been property de veloped along the lines just describ ed above, they should begin laying just as they are put into winter quar ters. Their quarters should not be changed once they start laying. Such a change will usually cause a molt and falling off in the egg yield. Futhermore, pullets should never be housed with older hens. The more mature hens annoy the yonger ones and that too interferes with their laying. From this point on, the usual rules for feeding and handling lay ing hens will apply for winter egg production. Os course, I do not mean that older hens are incapable of winter egg production merely because I have emphasized the disability of developing pullets for that season. With proper culling, breeding and feeding, hens can be made to lay almost as many eggs during the win ter months as in warmer weather. The subject of special feeding and handling of fowls for winter egg pro duction is, however, of sufficient im portance to constitute a seperate article all by itself. The reason for emphasizing ways of increasing winter egg production is, of course, that prices reach their very highest peak at that time. It is, therefore, desirable not only to produce as many winter eggs as pos sible, but also to market every pos sible one of those that are produced then. Practically all of them can be marketed by preserving and keeping for home use the low priced eggs of spring and summer. It is very easy to preserve -eggs for future use by putting them down in water glass, a syrupy liquid that can be obtained from almost any druggist. This water glass should be mixed with nine parts of cold boiled water and the solution kept in crocks or stone jars. Kegs or barrels may also be used if absolutely clean and free from odors provided, they are thoroughly scalded. Fill the jar or keg partly full of the water glass so lution and put in the eggs from day to day as they are gathered. Be sure there is always at least two. inches of solution over the eggs. No dirty or cracked eggs should be used nor any about which there is any doubt as to when they were laid. They must be absolutely fresh, laid the same day they are put in the solu tion. The cost of preserving eggs in 1 this way is very small and calls so almost no work at all. Eggs in water glass will keep for six or eight months if stored in a cool, dark place, well covered, and may then b used for all cooking purposes or for the table. The advantages of this plan certainly should be apparent without argument. . I have not attempted to go into any great detail in this article. On the contrary, I have tried only to suggest enough so the reader wli want to know more about methods of increasing the winter profits from his flock. (Copyright, 1929, by Dr. L D. LeGear, V. S.)
