PAGE TWO THE FRANKLIN PRESS FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1S2G, Expects to Give Pageant In Out-Door Theatre Cullowhee, N. C Cullowhce State Normal school is hoping to be able to give its pageant of Western North Carolina, which is to constitute a good portion of the commencement program, in its new out-door theatre Katcre has given us a natural ampi theatre in the beautiful ravine be tween the loore dormintory and the Madison building. Workers have been busy with teams, plows, harrow rakes and hoes recently, trying to get the open-air stage in shape. Grass has been sown and i is hoped that the weather man will assist in putting a carpet 'of green on the ground be fore the last of May, the date of the commencement. However, the school M t . 1 . . . .1 A 1 cniciais ana siuaents are determined not to be outdone, if. possible to pre vent it ; for, in order to be ready for any eventuality, preparations are be ing made either to give the pageant at another point on the campus, or in the auditorium, in case the new the atre cannot be used. Garden Will Supply Needed Patent Medicines Raleigh, April 20, When' sick, the proper thing to do is to call a physi cian and follow his advice vety care fully. But there would be less sick ness and disorders if every family had a supply of fresh vegetables through out the year. This is another argu ment for the family garden. "A good garden mav be likened ti the family physician," says C. R. Hud son of the farm demonstration divi sion at state College. Many people tse patent medicines, many of which are only extracts of vegetables and are generally concoctions that arc really good for nothing. Even whe; valuable, their prices are exoibitant and some of them lead . to ' habits worse than the ailment which they are supposed to cure. ' Mr. Hudson states that hv the iisp of a small variety of vegetables and good habits, there are few occasions for the human system to get out of order. "Parsnips," he says, "are better, more palatable anl less expensive than sarsaparill patent medicine; let tuce is good for sleeplessness; toma toes tone up a torpil liver ; raw cel ery and onions are better for the nerves than patented celery com pounds sold in bottles ; spinach, tur nip salad, baked apples and various other fruits and vegetables are a long way . better than patented nostrums. Rhubarb root is a good substitute for castor oil and we do not have to buy syrup of figs when the fig itself can be grown in the garden." Mr. Hudson states that most patent medicines contain alcohol used as an extractive and preservative and the stimulating effect of this deceives many people into believing that they have found something valuable. It is better to use vegetables, he thinks and' adds that one may gain and lose weight by eating the proper knidsof At 1--, UJC3C U UpS. . A FARM LIGHT AND POWER PLANT Proper Inflation of Tires Under inflation of a balloon tire costs the owner just 700 miles of serv ice per pound under the correct pres sure, according to the results of a se ries of experiments by the Ford Mo tor company. These experiments were conducted ,in connection with a cam paign to help Ford car owners get tin most out of their tires. , To determine at just which point the Ford size balloon tires 29x4.40 yielded the maximum comfort to pas sengers consistent with maximum mileage, all makes of tires were test ed. At the end of the test period, thr exact loss per pound of under-infla-tion was calculated in terms of mile age and a bulletin was sent to Ford dealers and service statiojis advising the correct pressures. A number of common tire ailment were traced directly back to under-in-Hation. Among the most common are rim cuts, tread separation, over heating and stone bruising in additio; toa more rapid rate of natural wear and detonation. r On the other hand, every pound of over-inflation takes its toll of com fort and the . fundamental value of ballon equipment is lost. Other ad-' vantages of low pressure tires, name ly greater traction, ability to trave1 over spft ground without sinking and quick stopping without skidding, are also nullified in a direct ratio to' the extent of the .excessive air. pressure '"" The following inflation table has f been proven to best combine riding comfort with long life in 29x4.40 bal loon tires.

The Delco-Light com pany is a subsidiary of the. Genera' Motors Corporation, second larges industrial corporation in the world. The Franklin Furniture company i, the local Delco-Light dealer, hand ling the sale and installation of thi; newest plant. in presenting the new Model 750 Au tomatic Delco-Light, the company ha: eliminated the use oj storage batter ' ies and . added new features to the generator which greatly simplify itr operation. The result is a plant whicr can be installed for several hundred dollars less than the battery equipped model of approximately, the same ca pacity. With installation of this new model ejectric light and power is available at the turn of a switch. The generat ing unit furnishes the current direct to the lights or motor equipment. When the last light is turned off the plant stops automatically. The plant of course, is self cranking, cur rent for starting being supplied by a small automobile-type battery. For use with automatic motor equipment, such as Frigtdaire, Delco Light water systems, etc., the outfit is ideal. Opening the faucet at the kitchen sink, or any place where water is required, will start the plant Just as soon as the" pump switch cuts in,' the plant is started. As long as water is being used the plant oper ates. The operation with the Frig idaire electric refrigerator motor' i; just the same. When current is re quired, the plant operates. When it is no longer needed, it stops. The new Model 750 Automatic Del-co-light plant has an output of 75C watts, sufficient to handle two one fourth horse power motors at the same time, with a reserve of 200 watts for lights, if they are needed. "On account of the. amazingly low price of this new plant, we feel that we have at last placed electric light and power within reach of every farm owner in the United States" declared E. G. Biechler, president of the Delco- Light company, when the Model 750 was exhibited for the first time at a convention of Delco-Light dealers last week. ... "Here is a plant that is absolutely the last word in engineering and at the same time is so simple-in princi ple and design that any housewife can take care of it. And it is being offered at a most attractive price." Dairy Industry Growing In North Carolina Raleigh, April 21. North Carolina is making great progress in dairying despite statements made by some who say that there is a growing de crease of cattle in the state. J. A. Arey, dairy extension special ist at State College, reports that the dairy industry in North Carolina is in healthy condition. -Of course, he states, there is a lack of' feedstuffs in the piedmont ,and mountain sections but on tie whole, more milk is beinf produced, more butter and ice creair being manufactured and more puce bred dairy bulls and cows in the stati than ever before. The loss of cah as shown by recent reports, came about with the abolition of free rangi conditions when many scrub dairj cowes were sold and with a decreas in beef cattle production. Mr. Arey and his associates have just finished holding 135 feed schools in 27 counties of the state and find there is much interest in dairy farm ing. Last year a campaign put on by these workers resulted, in about 200 pure bred dairy bulls being- placed There are five cow-testing associa tions now s in operation and many farmers adjacent to the larger cities are building new barns and enlargin their herds. Mr. Arey states that a new creamery; is being bui.lt now in Macon county where the supply of cfws warrants such an industry. It Jackson county the farmers are rap idly buying the 100 cows which the set, as a goal for this year and there are twelve North Carolina counties now producing over one million dol lars worth of milk per year.""""'" " " In Union county, commonly known as a cotton county, about 1000 gal lons of milk per day are being pro duced and sold. The farmers are re ceiving an average of 30 cents per gal Ion tor this milk which . means an in dustry bringing in over $100,000 to the county. This is about half ojf the cotton crop of that county, states Mr, Arey. ' . . President's Proclamation In again proclaiming American Forest Week it is fitting that, while i giving full weight to the evils result ing from impoverished forests and idle land, I should lay stress upon the outward spread of forestry in indus trial practice and land usage. Too long have we as a nation consumed our forest wealth without adequate provision for its wise utilization and renewal..- But a gratifying change if taking place in the attitude of our in dustries, our landowners, and. the American people toward our forests The wise use of land is one of the main foundations of sound nationa1 economy. It is the corner stone of natural thrift. The waste or misuse of natural resources cuts away tht groundwork on which national pros perity is built. If we are to flourish as a people and as individuals, wi must neither wastefully hoard nor wastefully expfoit, but skillfully em ploy and renew the resources that nature has entrusted to us. Ameri ca's forest problem essentially is ? problem involving the wise use of land that can and should produce crops of timber. Flourishing woodlands, however mean more than timber crops, per manent . industries, and an adequate supply of wood, They -minister tc our need for outdoor recreation: they preserve anirrial ind bird life they protect and beautify our hill sides. and feed our streamsj. they pre serve the, inspiring natural environ ment which has contributed so much to American character. Although our national progress in forestry has been well begun, much remains to be dene through fco'th conceited and individual effort. Wej must stamp out the forest fires which I st ili annually sweep many wooded; areas, destroying timber the naor can ill afl'ort to lose and ki!liii,?j young growth needed to constitute' the forests of the future. Forest fires caused largely by human indifference j or carelessness, , are the greatest sin-j gle obstacle to reforestation and ef fective forest management. j We must encourage and extend rr tthods of timber cutting which per- j petuate tne torest wnue narvesting its products. We must plant trees in abundance on idle land where the can profitably be grown. We must examine taxation practises that mav form economic barriers to timber rul ture. We must encourage the exten sion of forest ownership on the part of municipalities, counties, states, and the federal government. And we must take common council in public meetings to the end that the forestry problems of. each region may be well considered and adequately met. i Now, therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge President of the United States of America, do hereby designate th week of April 18-24, inclusive, 1926, as American Forest Week ; and I recom mend to the governors of the variouf states that they .also designate the week of April 18-24 as American For est Week and observe Arbor Day within that week wherever practica ble and not in conflct with law or ac cepted custom. And I urge public of ficials, public and business organiza tions, industrial leaders, landowners editors, educators, clergymen, and all patriotic citizens to cnite in the com mon task of forest conservation and' renewal. The action of the Canadian govern ment in likewise proclaiming the week of April 18-24, inclusive, as a period when the utmost . stress shall be laid1 upon 'the problems of forest conser vation and renewal, thus unifying tin: respective efforts of Canada and the United States, is an added reason why our citiens should give carefuf thought to a matter so important tc both countries. . , ,',In Witness Whereof, I have hereun to set my hand and caused the seal oZ the Unite J States to be affixed. i .
