Congratulations of to* highest
order are due Mrs. J- X. Ptwdeo, Red
Cross Chapter chairman here, and
toe coops of earnest workers who as
sisted her ia the membership drive.
They have aided anew ia demonstrat
ing; to toe world that where there is
suffering and need; or want Chowan
is ever ready with her sympathetic
response, and has never failed to
meet toss obligation with flowing
colors.
One has but to road toe papers
tor .toe proof of Chowan'S supre
macy in the matter of sympathy
and generosity. In Raleigh the
membership drive fell short by some
thing like S&JMA In the same com
munity, with a population three times
that of all Chowan, a previous drive!

and civic tenders to raise funds tor,

Only in Norfolk, insofar as this sec- ]
torn was concerned, was response as
valiant as that shown by Chowan. ]
The Christmas Seal campaign car
ries with it am even greater need. It
is toe only method employed by toe
National Tuberculosis Association and
through it toe North Carolina age®- 1
ties of health with which to raise
monies to diagnose treat and pre
vent the spread of one of nature’s
most dreaded diseases, toe Great
White Plague. The cost of this sup
port is imfinitesttaai, ranging from
the purchase of one stamp at one
cent to »hntever number you may
cure to ■ and even one stamp is
viewed as a factor in toe possible
saving of a human life.
The latest drive will start next
week and will rum through without
interruption until Christmas. It is
designed in toe knowledge toe need j
may be right here, maybe im your]
own home, and that the fight against ■
an awful condition of disease
and cam be relieved by Aose who live 1
here in Chowan.
Don't toil to help—Buy plenty of
the little Christmas Seals.

GOOD NEWS FOR
RAISERS OF HOGS
Fanners who gathered in the Tay
lor Theatre Tuesday to listen to an
extension service specialist tell them
how to take better care of toeir crop
of porcimest sat up a little stiffer
when he quite casually dropped toe
information there its going to be good
money in hogs, and that the price of
such animals at Chicago was on toe
way toward 15 cents a pound. This
was good news, enough good news
to .make the husbandmen follow his
advise carefully about worm eiimtim*-
tioa. vaccination, dry acreage in
which to pasture, and such like.
Last year it wasn’t so good, this
talked of price. To keep it up. and
mot so high at that, pigs were killed
by the million to hold down toe sup
ply. This year, the specialist said
the supply would not equal toe de
mand at the stoek yards, so natural
ly a better price can be expected.
County igemt X. K. Rowell said
Chowan farmers raised $100.(900
worth of hogs annually, and this will
mean nearly half as much more with
toe increased price.
There is money in hogs, apparent
ly, and judging from questions ask
ed at Tuesday's meeting. Chowan
farmers are vitally interested n
getting toeir share.
And here’s taping they del

his owner as can he seen by a
■ “horse's prayer" clipped from

And speaking of toe thanksgiving'
spirit, evidently Eden ton folks re
membered toe orphans and poor. A l
sign in front of St. Paul's Church

j haven't helped the poor today I
j hope you choke." I haven't heard

If for any reason folks think 1 1
. look a little stouter since Saturday,
it’s mot that an overdose of turkey
is the reason. The real reason is!
that, like Arthur HotloweU. Asa
Griffin and a gang of others, Pwe:
donned a suit of long underwear.
It's the first experience with toe]
things since 191® amd while they!
fed all right this sort of weather,]
it’s hard to become adjusted to

wear suspenders it’s hard as toe

John E. Ferry, Jr., of toe Tyner

It missed a good chance for a
first class snow on Tuesday, for the
weather and everything was all set
i for it. And to be truthful there were
several snow flurries during the day
which turned to sleet and then to
tain. A fellow told me that Joe
Boyce reported the ground covered
down on his farm, but as truthful
as Joe is, possibly he was seeing
things.
What should be quite an attraction
in Eden ton is a pair of twin mules j

C. X. Griffin. Charlie Griffin, who

says its impossible to tell them

ties who buy these particular mules
should live a long distance apart or
there might be some trouble as to
who’s is which.

Farmers Given Advice
About Raising Hogs
About 40 Chowan farmers inter -
ested in tag raising aad tag culture
were in attendance at the Tartar
Theatre Tuesday morning, and heard
an interesting address on toe care of
swine by H. W. Taylor, extension
specialist from Raleigh. The address
was enlivened by moving pictures on
the control of hog diseases and para
sites.
In introducing Mr. Taylor, County
Farm Agent N. K. Rowell said that
Chowan, farmers would raise more
Shan SIOOJIOO worth of hogs toft
year, and this value was enhanced fey
the cheering comment by Mt. Taylor
that present day indications were that
(toe price of hogs on toe Chicago
market would be IS cents within a
short while and that this was occa
sioned by toe demand far exceeding
toe 1936 supply.
Mr. Taylor dwelt particularly on
toe care that should fee shown te
feeding swine, mentioning soy bean
oil meal, adding that the porcines
should fee turned at large, as ter as
possible, te green pastures, avoid
ance being shown to woodlands and
damp places where parasites breed so
prolifically. He also emphasised the
importance of self-feeders as well as
an adequate supply of water.
Mr. Rowell also took advantage of
the gathering to inform those presen;
that a considerable sum of money has
been lost by Chowan termers by not
fully cooperating te the government's
soil-building practices. He pointed
out that the average base for toe
county for all crops was 34,475 acres
which if termers would have reduced
according to government plan would
have permitted the planting of 27,227.
By reducing ’J3B acres and planting
them in soil conserving crops tenners
would have received plus
ST,46TJSS for soil building practices,
bringing the total to $96,3113.43.
About 60 per cent of this amount has .
been qualified for, but due to mis
understanding or downright refusal
to cooperate toe remaining 40 percent
has been lost.
Colored Gridders Tie
Hertford In Last Game
Two apparently is toe favorite ■
number of toe Edenton colored high
school’s 1936 football team which
closed its season last Wednesday
afternoon when they tied 6-6 toe
highly-tooted and much heavier Hert- \
ford high school eleven which had'
not been scored upon this season. j
The local boys’ record for the season ■
is two games won, two games lost !
and two games tied.
The last game was hotly contested
with Hertford having the edge so ter
as ground gaining was concerned
but the stubborn Eden too line <
strengthened and held hack their op- ]
portents on a number of occasions 1
when they threatened to score.
The crowd was thrilled when Sid- ;
ney Holley, local halfhack, evaded
the Hertford line and sprinted about
45 yards for the first score of the
game. The score was evened up, ]
however, when Charles Roberts plung
ed through the Eden ton line after a !
series of first downs for a Hertford ;
score.
