Dr. T. J. Wood was the only other

Wood returned home earlier in the

Dr. Tankersley made the trip from
Greensboro to this city in Lis auto
mobile. He was accompanied by Mrs.
Tankersley who had been visiting in
Greensboro.
A Coney Island policeman was
strolling along Surf avenue the other
morning when he heard what he
thought was an argument near the
big Columbia carrousel. There was
no one in sigght, so the policeman
edged up quietly.
Peeking around the side of the
merry-go-round he saw a slim stran
ger ballyhooing for all he was worth.
He held a package of cigar coupons
in his hands and was singing the fol
lowing: "Come on, come on, come on, take
the longest, coolest, cutest, . wildest,
tallest, sweetest, cheapest, neatest,
swiftest, hottest, coldest, safest, bold
est ride of the island It costs noth
ing but a dime, good for kids or kew
piedoodles." When the policeman reached the
front of the carrousel he noticed that
the door of the attraction was open,
and that the horses were going around
backward. The person with the voice
said he was Peter T. Pendleton, his
home the cart, and his occupation
conversation in all is forms. He was
locked up, charged with being jingled.
How easily Broadway forgets. The
play, "The Easiest Way," had a last
line that brought the audiences night
ly to their feet. It ran a year. A
writer recalling it recently said Miss
Frances Starr, the leading woman,
said: "I'm off to Rector's and to hell."
Others wrote- in that he was wrong.
Finally Miss Starr was consulted and
she had forgotten ; -then Eugene Wal
ter, the playwright, was called on. the
phone. He thought awhile and then
confessed that he couldn't remember
exactly the last words.

Every pound of he Buckeye Hulls contains much1 more food value
'because the lint on the old style hulls has no food value.
The price per pound of -real rouglutgeit the form of Buckeye Hulls
is very much less than in the form of the old style hulls. Buckeye
Hulls do not clog or flux the digestive tract. Other foods mixed with
them are readily assimilated.
They are free of trash and dust.
They are sacked and easy to handle.
... They take half as much space in the barn.
If you have not tried Buckeye Hulls, please remember that thousands
of feeders are using them and. will use no other roughage. If you
have not given Buckeye Hulls a fair trial, let the experience of these
successful feeders guide you in using them as they should be used.

to get them ready for the range. He had been feed

Hulls bought. j r
To secure the btef results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the halls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by'
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at anytime '
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minntea. If you prefer to
feed the . hulls dry7, usO only half as much .by bulk aa of old style hulls. . .

London, April 23. The Rt. Hon.
Arthur J. Balfour, former premier,
who is heading the delegation that
will represent Great Britain at the
international conference in Washing
ton, is a bachelor at the age of 69.
By Mr. Asquith, also a former prime
minister, he has been pronounced "the
most distinguished member of the
greatest parliamentary body in the
world."
Mr. Balfour's political career has
been remarkable. The son of - a
wealthy Scotchman, . his university
record was a distinguished one, and
he became known as an original
thinker and a leader of the set of
ultra-cultured persons who afterward
were famous as "The Souls." His
"Defense of Philosophic Doubt," pub
lished in 1879, when Mr. Balfour was
31 years old, attracted a great deal
of-attention.
In 1874 Mr. Balfour was elected a
member of the House of Commons,
and for a time was an associate, rath
er than a follower, of the late Lord
Randolph Churchill. He held several
offices of more or less importance.
between the years 1878 and 1887. In
1885 and 1886 he was president of the
Local Government Board, and before
then he had been private secretary
to his uncle, Lord Salisbury, when
the latter was Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs. The offices which-
Mr. Balfour held, however, were not
of a character to give opportunity for
the .display of his peculiar abilities!
Nevertheless, nis record, political and
otherwise, was a brilliant one. cuimi-
absorb all his. energies, that would
give him an intense interest in his
work. The foUbwing year he found
such an opportunity. He was ap
pointed,, at . the height of the Land
League agitation, Chief Secretary f6r
Ireland, and the manrier in which he
filled that office is still one of the
traditions of the House of Commons.
He held the Chief Secretaryship for
four years, and in 1891 he was ap
pointed government leader, in - the
House of Commons. His subsequent
political activities, includingg his ten
ure of the premiership, are matters
of comparatively recent history. .
Mr: Balfour possesses two marked
Qualities that have furnished shining
targets for the political cartoonist
throughout his public . career. These
are his languishness and his modeBty,
The first is probably more apparent
than real and doubtless is due to- the
poor health which he suffered through
all of his earlier years. His modesty,
however, is genuine and, indeed,
amounts almost to effeminacy. When
he first appeared in public life he was
described as a lounging, effeminate

christen a mollycoddle, "Miss Bal

accused him of lying abed until noon,
reading French novels, and spending
his evenings playing the piano and
singing sentimental songs. It is need
