The Woman's Coumy Council of Halifax county, under the direc tion of the Home Demonstration Agent, Miss Allen, is launching a Kitchen Improvement campaign for the spring and summer. This campaign is not concerned alone w itli the introduction of these favorite pieces of modern equip ment which may recommend them selves to one's fancy. 1 he big fundamental idea behind it is the study of the arrangement and the use of what we already possess in order that the housework may be reduced to a minimum and the ef ficiency . nd die joy in ihe work increased. Many women travel miles and miles of useless distances yearly, trudging irom the work table to the water pail and back across the room to the stove and back again, only uirepeat the round dozens of limes during the day But the campaign will go further than this. It contemplates ways and means of health saving as well as labor saving devices. I here are so many improvements which might be effected without any greai expense and very little work. The first requisite is to make i one’s workshop safe for health and ; convenient for the rapid dispatch ; of the duties of the day. But ther„ : iS still another factor in tins con test. The place where a womar j spends at least half of her waking . hours should be made reasonably | attractive and so many of these ’ things may be done with very little work on the part of the individual The Home Demonstration Agen 1 is meeting the women of all the | school communities to explain tin i details of this campaign. It is hei policy to assist the women in ana lyzing their present situation am j plan how to secure the greates -esults with the least expendituri i of money. The contest will rut ! through the summer months am lose who are interested shouli et in touch with the Home Dem nstration Agent and secure lie o-operation in re organizing thet orkshops. farm notes. By VV. 0 Davis, County Agent, Weldon, N. C. Fins is the lime 10 plan our crops of feed, forage and home supplies ill,it will he grown this summer and run us in 1925. Ii seems im Possible to get our farmers 10 real ize ihe absolute necessiiy of grow ing ihese supplies ai home. In die Southern Stales that have had weevil damage for some years the supply merchants and bankers re fuse to furnish supplies or loan u iney to farmers who have not produced food for themselves and feed sufficient for all the animals in the farm. Suppose we have a wet June, then we will surely have trouble with the weevils in July and August and may lose 25 to ,V) in r cent of die crop This c inuiiti n c.ui vuy easily happen md would certainly make ii harder tor the farmers who have no sup plies to gei credit to run on in 1925. But tiie man who does grow ins ieed and food this sum mer will not need much help in 1925 and wont have any trouble in getting what financing he does need. It has been the history ol weevil damage from the beginning that the man who lives at home is damaged the least by weevils and is the first to overcome him. Knowing ihese facts we want tc urge our farmers to grow home supplies this year. Farmers dial will have wool tc sell this spring can get help from this office aboui selling it. We would like to get in touch with every farmer who has sheep. We want to caution farmers about ihe danger of excessive use of nitrate ol soda this year; partic ularly ihe use of heavy applications of t.ip dressing late in ihe season, There is also danger of too heavy applications at planting time as ibis will cause too large stalk growtf and produce shade with the conse quence weevil damage. 1 ry tc balance the amount of nitrogen sc as to produce a stalk about thirty I inches tall. flits sice stalk wil 1 produce a good yield but no enough shade to cause rotting oi protect the w'eevils. All top dress mgs should be applied at choppinj time. Bate applications will pro duce excessive late growth, pre venting early maturity, and alst furnishing late weevil teed io sliei them into winter quarters in stronj vigorous condition so that a largt number of weevils will emergi next spring. _ IS Y. P. U CONVEN riON. Undaunted by ilie down pour o rain on last Friday morning, quin a large delegation from die Baptis church motored down to Scotlant Neck to attend the Roanoke Asso cialional B. V. I'. U. Convention We were indeed fortunate n have as our speakers some of ill leading men in our denomination Mr. Walter Gilmore, our Stew ardship I lirector. gave us a ttios unique and happy address oil 1 li High Cost of 1.oving,” the climat of which was " I he Cost ol Christ Love was His Lite for Us. Ill other speakers were Mr. Rerr Morgan, our State Secretary, Mr | Bryce Little, our Slate President and Mr. C. F. Gore, our Associa tional President. On entering the church, Mt Morgan remarked, “Well thi meeting will he a test ot the inlet est of this Association. Judging from the big number present in spue of the rain, an interest manifested, he must thin this Association is running ovt suth enthusiasm and loyalty. This is certainly the greate convention we have had, and t Scotland Neck we are indebted ft ' no small part of it. W e were et tertained royally. Scotland Nec doesn't do things by halves 1. tub beddino law ; Mr. 1.. Gi. Whitley, Chief San 1 tary Inspector for North Carolin J paid us a call last week.

But it is | law passed by the last General A i sembly. Here it is: "It is again : i the law to sell old mattresses whit ‘ ; has shoddy material which h been once used.” In other won I it is against the law to sell a mt I > tress and take it back and resell Children Cry FOR FLETCHER S j CW SaTIQ.R I A SPRIGHTLY SPARKS.

It w ill not be many days before i the leaves will be grown. The early bird catches the worm, • hut it's liable to be investigated af terwards. Our idea of an optimist is the Weldon man who can see only the auto and not the mortgage. Of course Weldon people trust in God. Just look how viine ol them drive their automobiles Radio isn't going to appeal very strongly to political orators. They won't he able to hear the applause. II a girl blushes nowadays it's usually when you catch her before she has time to don her make-up. Uncle Robert Kpps says it's pret ty hard to keep a good reputation, but a bad one will take care ol it self. You have also probably observed that some people are like cider, sweet enough until it's time to work. “As it looks to me,” says Mr. S. Trueblood, “a lot of fellows were mistaking Teapot Dome for the su gar bowl." It's easy for a Weldon man to live on his wife's money if she has any, but he can’t go to heaven on her religion. We know some Weldon women who read fiction stories, and oth ers who just listen to their hus band's alibis. Wish some one would come along w ho could tell us what be comes of all the stocking tops after the feet are gone. If curiosity killed a cat, as the old saying goes, then we kno w some people who ought to qualify as big game hunters. The trouble in this world is too many people measure their success in life by the amount of space they get in the newspapers. A New York judge says a woman has a right to bob tier hair even if her husband objects. There’s an other clean cut decision. Divorce doesn’t always separate the sheep from the goats. It only makes goats out of some men who should have stayed single. Not all the Chinese bandits are : busy holding up missionaries. ; ! Some of them are shipping Mah I ; Jongg sets to the United States. R. J. Perry the barber wishes the public to know that while he ): makes a specialty of shaving necks t he never talks behind a man’s back. Mr. W. J.

According to Mr. Paul Joyner II this talk about labeling marries ten is foolish. "They don’t neei ,” he says. “You can alway: -II them by the dandrutf on thei oat collars.” About the time a Weldon mat eaehes 5b he forgets his boyhoot mbilion to be president and onh opes that he’ll be able t eep his funeral from being heb t the poor house. kkpijblicans NOMINATK. \1 R Vick, of Halifax county s nominated as Congressiona ididate at the Second Congres ,nal District Republican Conven n, which w as held in the corn use at Tarboro on Wednesday iril 16th. There were twenty e or more delegates present an ery county of the district wa presented with the exception c Chilclron Cry FOR FLETCHER’S, C ASJiO.Ril A ROANOKE RAPIDS POWER CO. Bought BvIheV. K. P. Com pany.— Transaction Involving One Million Dollars, Is An nounced Purchase oF ihe Roanoke Rapids j Power Company ai Roanoke Rapids, by the Virginia Railway and Power Company, ihe transac tion involving approximately 1, 000,000, was announced last week by Thomas S. Wheelwright, presi dent of the power company. The deal for the North Caroli- j na power company, which it is understood has been under con sideration for some time, was con summated through a local bank. Through it the Virginia Railway and Power Company acquires the power company at Roanoke Rap ids, situated on the Seaboard Air Line just north of Weldon. Thomas S. Wheelwright, presi dent of the Virginia Railway and Power Company made the follow ing statement in regard to the pur chase: "In pursuance of a policy ol safeguarding the light and power system of this company, the direc tors of the company have found it desirable to purchase at an outlay of approximately $1,000,000 the R. Rapids Power Co., at Roanoke Rapids. At this point the company has already a large amount of un developed water rights and by rea son of the ownership of the Roa noke Rapids Power Company it is possible in future to make develop ments in hydro-electric power and connect with the transmission sys tem of this company by high ten sion lines, thus curtailing in a measure further investment in steam power to insure the contin uity of the service and provide for future extensions. This situation has been fully ap preciated by the bankers with whom the company is dealing and to whom we must look for future credit and the appropriation of funds is justified for development of the light and power departments only because the investment in this department is protected by regu i lation and control of the state com ! missions.” The Roanoke Rapids Power Company was organized 33 years ago by Maj T. L. Emry and oth ers. Now it will be smoothe sail ing for the V. R. & P. Company. They already own the water power here and also at Thelma. It is the purpose of this compa ny, so we learn, to build an im mense dam at Thelma at once and they may decide to develop the power at Weldoh. We also learr that Weldon will be the distributing point for the power for hundreds of miles. We don't know of anything tha has happened in quite a while tha means so much for the advance merit of this locality than the pros pect of development of this tremen dous water power. It will cost ; large sum of money to harnes the Roanoke, but the people be hind this scheme have both brain: and money to push it to a success ful end.__ ATTENDED THE CONVENTION The following from Weldon at tended the B.
