YOU

Last week, in order to show our appre- f
elation for the fine patronage accorded
us since our opening a few months ago
and in order to better acquaint the pub
lic with the real values to be found at
our store, we staffed two days of spec
tacular values in groceries and meats.
Naturally, we expected a response to
these great values, but nothing like the
response accorded us. We were delighted!
And now, in appreciation, we can think
of nothing better than to say to each and
every one who visited us—THANK YOU!

Jail Break In Yadkin
Is Narrowly Averted
Yadkinville, June 26. (Special)—
A wholesale jail delivery was nar
rowly averted here Thursday night,
June 14, about nine o'clock when
prisoners were about ready to depart
the jail on French leave.
Elaborate preparations had been
made for the getaway, but Jailer
Vestal was onto the racket and was
watching. He had overheard some
talk between the jail inmates about
"how lonesome the jail would soon
be" where they planned to go, etc.
But it didn't work.
They had pried some bars loose
and reached tiie hallways of the jail
tied some sheets together to climb
down on and were ready to go. Jim
Cain, awaiting trial for highway rob
bery was the first to make the start.
He climbed out a window, or most
of the way out and was preparing to
take the sheet rope down when jail
er Vestal fired in his direction three
times and turned a highpowered
flashlight on him. He went back
through the window at a much fast
er gait than he went out, and when
Mr. Vestal reached the cell block
he was terribly white and too scared
to talk.

SURRY STREAMS
NOT SANITARY
Doctor Disapproves Wa
ter for Swimmers;
Explains Test
Mount Airy, N. C., June 23.
Dr. N. T. Ennett, Surry county
health officer, in announcing partial
results today of an examination of
the water in streams and lakes used
for swimming in this vicinity, which
has been carried on for the past
three weeks by the health officer
and Edwin P. Hale, sanitary inspec
tor, stated that there was danger of
typhoid in all the water examined
so far. Samples of water were taken
from various places including Lov
ill's Creek at Laurel Bluff, and the
Ararat River, near the quarry
bridge.
Dr. Ennett stated that state lab
oratory reports found colon baccill
indicating bowel discharge in all the
specimens and also found the pres
ence of staphylococci, bacteria which
cause boils and ear infections. He
wished to stress the fact that the
actual typhoid fever germs were not
found in the water as was published
here yesterday, but that the pres
ence of the colon baccill indicated
the danger of typhoid and made the
water unsafe for bathing. He also
said that the survey had no con
nection with the city's supply of
drinking water, which comes from
a private watershed and is purified
by a modern filter plant and chlori
nating system.
Reports on specimens from a
number of lakes and feeder streams
for local pools were expected some
time next week.

Prevent Chick Disease
By Proper Sanitation
Although no cure has been found
for chick coccidiosis, a particularly
destructive disease, it may be pre
vented when proper sanitation steps
are taken, says H. C. Qauger, in
structor in poultry science at State
College.
The parasites which cause the di
sease are usually present wherever
there is any poultry, but older birds
sometimes harbor the parasites with
out suffering any serious ill effects.
It is the chick between four and 12
weeks of age that suffer most.
Infection starts when a chick eats
the microscopic eggs of the parasite.
The eggs break open in the intes
tines of the chicks and release my
riads of living bodies which attack
(he mucus membranes.
Infected chicks are weak, listless,
and droopy. The appetite is gone
and they huddle in groups as though
they are cold. There is usually a
whitish, watery dropping which has
a tendency to paste up the fluff
around the tail. Infected chicks soon
die.
Chicks should not be allowed to

eat the parasite's eggs, says Gauger.
The brooder houses should be kept
sanitary and every precaution taken
to keep the eggs from being tracked
into the houses from other places.
Infected chicks should be removed
immediately from the flock and
killed and either burned or buried
deeply. The litter anfl sand in
brooder houses should be changed
every other day or oftener. Only
fresh, clean material should be used
for litter.
While the chicks are in the brooder
house, the runways should be pre
pared by spading or plowing the soil
so as to turn the infected top soil
under. If this is impracticable, the
chicks should be restricted to a
limited area which can be covered
with sand or gravel, or they should
be confined to an outdoor, wire
floor sun porch until 10 or 12 weeka
old.
Ice Cream Supper
There will be an ice cream sup
par Saturday night, June 30, at the
