I Eligible purchasers to whom certi - ficates will be issued have been clas- sified into preference groups, based on the importance and direct use of the car in the war effort, and apphtn- tions will be considered in the order of preference established under a re cent order of the OPA. Group 1 includes persons whos1; occupations are of emergency or critical nature: physicians, public health nurses, police and employees of industries of critical importance. Group 2 includes farmers, farm workers, plant managers, labor and government employee cars, Group 3 includes principally of buyers for essential establishments. Group 4 includes all other classi fications of persons eligible for grade 1 tires. O One Penny Returns $2.77WithPeanuts Since it costs only about 10 cents an acre to treat peanut seed before planting to obtain better stands, no farmer can afford to overlook treating his seed with one of the several ma terials now available, says Howard Garriss, extension plant pathologist at S'ate College. While the returns from seed treat ment will vary from field to field and farm to farm, this practice has proven itself to be an excellent insurance leading to larger yields. One of the largest gains reported to Garriss last year came from the farm of J. J. Matthews in Gates county. The per-acre yield without the seed treatment was 14 bags. while the acre with treatment gave a yield of 17 2-3 bags. The ten cents invented in seed treatment gave a return of 330 popnds of pea nuts, worth $27.70. Another good method for increas ingn peanut yields is the dusting of the crop with copper-sulphur or sul- phur dust to control leafspot diseases. Not only does this practice give in creased yields of nuts but it also in creases the amount of hay and gives hay of better quality. Under aver age conditions the extra hay pays for the cost of the dusting and the extra nuts are clear profit. Garriss suggests that growers im mediately order their dusting equip ment and not wait until it is needed this summer. Some growers had their crops dusted iy airplane last year but it is not known whether this service will be available during the coming season. Tires no longer suitable for the Army may be reconditioned and sold for "limited civilian use," according to OPA.

W. B. Whit ley was still a-courtin' the missus, he was presented a small, gold handled pen knife and chain by his lady. A couple of years later, in grape-picking time of 1917 the knife and chain were lost out near Tim berland. On Tuesday morning of this week. somewhat over 27 years later, the knife was returned to Mr. Whit ley by "Dusty" McLeod. The knife was found in 1920 on the highway near the Fldinburgh cotton mills by Mrs. Loch Campbell. The engraved initials had been scar red and were nearly illegible. Fail ing to find the owner, she later gave the knife to Dusty, who carried it a few weeks, and then placed it in a box with other items here, there an delsewhere. Last week he rememberd the knife and mentioned it to Mr. Whitley, who became more than casually interested as he described to faint inscription of "B. T. to H. W. B ," a part of which could be read. Mr. Whitley told McLeod of a knife he had lost many years ago and described it to him. McLeod stated that apparently the knife was the one lost. Tues day it was again a prized pocket piece of Mrs. Whitley's husband. Curt Tuesday Only three cases were heard in county court Tuesday.

McLean, dis trict game protector, the fishinj season closes after April 5th and will remain closed until May 20th. The closed season covers both day and night fishing, and all anglers are requested to refrain from fishing dur ing this period of time. Doirs Chasing Deer When the deer hunting season end ed on January 1, it also made it il legal for dogs to chase deer, accord ing to North Carolina Game Laws. Protector McLean states he has had several complaints of dogs chasing deer in some sections of the county. He warns that dogs will be appre hended and their owners prosecuted as the laws direct. He asked also this question: "Mr. Sportsman! How can you complain of a scarcity of deer during the hunting season, when you have allowed your dogs to chase and kill them during the closed sea son?" "There is no excuse for this, and none will be accepted," according to Protector McLean. "Super-race" efficiency in a Brus sels library which the Nazis took over, resulted in the books being ar ranged according to size, to "give the place neatness and order." After three years, a package of pliofilm-wrapped raisins was found in perfect condition for eating. if t r
