The management of the Carolina
Theatre, Southern Pines, is pleased
to announce the appearance of the
great magician, Laurant, in an eve
ning of magic and mystery ,at South
ern Fines, next Monday ’ night, Jan
uary 17, at 8:20.
Laurant is acknowledged by all the
metropolitan newspapers to be the
worthy succcssor and the equal of
Keler and Hermann the Great, and
some even pronounce him* their su
perior. Not only does Laurant equal
the older magicians in the wonders of
his feats, but his manner excells \
theirs. There is little of the forced ^ picture presented above is that

The Omaha World-Herald, The Den

The New Orleans Picayune join like
wise in their praise of his wonderful
magic.
This entertainment is sponsored at
Southern Pines by Mr. Frank Buchan,
Mr. Sam Richardson and Charles Pic-
quet, who are assuming the large
guarantee required to bring Laurant
to Southern Pines and who assure
Southern Pines folks that they will
see a strictly high class show. These
gentlemen also brought the Harp
Symphony Orchestra a few weeks
ago and those who were so fortunate
as to hear this splendid organization
are still loud in their praise of it.
It is to be hoped that the citizens
of Southern Pines will show their ap
preciation of the efforts of these gen
tlemen to provide high class enter
tainment by securing reserved seats
at once at the Broad Street Phar
macy. The prices are exceedingly
reasonable, being placed at 75 cents
for general admission and |1 for re
served seats.

style may later be erected. The cost
of the first unit, with the surround
ings is figured at around three-quar
ters of a million dollars, but as that
is the beginning it is realized that
before the whole projcct is carried to
its finish a snug sum of money will
be invested.
Some comment has been heard re
garding the name for the new house,
but the more the matter is talked
about the more the people seem to
agree that it is well chosen for the
pine trees of this section are coming
along so bravely every where that
they are making a more conspicious
place for themselves amid the assets
of the Sandhills that has been recog
nized until the growing crop has late
ly been given the recognition it de
serves.
This is a pine forest region, and
pines are one of the principal out
standing features. The hotel will be
in the heart of pines on all sides, and
as the years go by the pines will be
more abundant, for they never grew
more swiftly and generally every
where than at the present.
Work has gone so far now that the
site on top of the hill north of the
Mid-Pines Club is op n to view, and
the roads and golf fairways pretty
clearly show the whole ground
scheme of the new proposition.
The new hquse is to be ready for
next winter. The golf course is al
ready plowed in places and the roads
are graded for considerable distances.
Work is going on fast on the pre
liminaries.

CLAIMS KIMBAU,
Several Propositions of Interest
Came Up Before The
Meeting
Two propositions came before the
meeting of the Kiwanis club at the
dinner at Aberdeen Wednesday, one
by Bob Page having to do with the
horticultural experiment farm that
has been the subject of more or less
talk in the State in the last two or
three years. The thing has dragged
because of a shortage of money to
establish it. Mr. Page says that va
rious schemes to finance the station
have been proposed, but that they
all encountered some difficulty, and
he thinks that now when the legisla
ture is in session it would be a good
plan to have our representatives at
Raleigh introduce a bill to appropri
ate a sufficient small sum of money
to take care of this measure.
Mr. Page says the peach industry
is by no means dead, but that last
summer gave it a punch which puts it
in a sag, and that the industry is of
such importance as a North Carolina

Dr. Poate brought up the subject

Each year there are hundreds of
neople who want to go into the poul
try business, and each year a certain
percentage of these people fail be
cause of the fact that they have not
had proper training or experience.
They soon fail, go “broke” then sell
off what is left and quit the poultry
business.
This year State College is putting
on a Poultry Short Course for the
benefit of those just starting to try
to keep them from making these cost
ly mistakes. This course will begin
on the 17th of January and continue
through the 22nd. Both mea and
women will take this course. Meals
can be had at the College dining hall
for 25 cents each and rooms can be
secured near the college. There will
be no charge for the course.
Poultry is a highly profitable busi
ness but it is not “fool proof.” You
must learn something about the job
before you attack it or take youi*
medicine like so many others have to
do each year.
If you are interested in early
spring broilers now is the time to be
getting your baby chicks, brooders,
etc.
Professor R. G. Hutchison of the
Farm Life School, now has his mam

need in the county by helping to

January Farm Calendar—Agronomy.
Put all harvested crops under shel
ter.
Repair roofs of cribs, seed houses,
etc.
Get an accurate farm level and lay
off needed terraces.
Blow out those stumps and rocks
that have been so troublesome.
Collect and overhaul all tools and
implements, and put them under
shelter.
When it is too wet to work outside
with your hands, work inside with
your head and plan your farming
scheme for the year.
Poultry.
Prevent the spread of colds in the
flock by using one-third teaspoonful
of potassium permanganate to each
gallon of drinking water. Find a re
liable source of hatching eggs or
baby chicks for increasing or im
proving the flock this year.
Provide the flock with green feed
or supply finely chopped alfalfa hay.
Prepare tho brooder house and make
other necessary arrangements for the
year.
Plant Diseases.
Don’t fail to treat tobacco seed be
fore sowing. A few cents spent in
prevention may save many dollars
next spring.
Be sure to get good seed before
you plant. The quality of your prod
uct will depend largely upon the kind
of seed you plant.
