J>y providing shade, but make the . more beautiful and at the same . time, add to the actual value of the i j property. We recently heard a man . j say that he had bought a home, which i|was surrounded by a number of large t shade trees and that he paid $1,000 . more for it than he would have paid i had these trees not been there.

There are entirs ly too many of our homes in the cities towns and country where no shade is . provided. This is nothing short of n { qaianrity.

A half dozen girls are now being trained I |for the various duties in the sequence of operation? and President Rich, r.cs? ststcu that uuicid woulu be I put on just as soon as the present ' ones could be trained. Mr. Richmond is pleased with the I way the girls are taking hold of the 1 workwork and expects to have a large force of trained workers in a short while. As soon as possible the plant will be operated twenty-four hour? a day, it is understood. The Oak Lane Mills is one of Murphy's largest industries and is destined to mean much to the town. Mr. Richmond and his associates in Pihladelphia decided to move the mill here a little mere than a year ago, selecting Murphy over a num|bcr of other points in western North I Carolina because of special advantages to be found here in the way j of labor, and other factors entering into the successful operation of an industrial plant of this kind. BTo house the mill, a structure 70x160 feet was constructed by local capital and leased to the Oak Lane -Mills. This handsome structure and the well equipped and organized | mill are big assets to the community. With the aid and co-operation of the entire community, other plants equally as valuable can be brought ihere from time to time on account of I the many natural advantages inherj ent to Murphy.

Calves of Tuberculous Cows Reared Free From Disease Thirty calves dropped by tuberculins cows in the valuable breeding and experimental herd of the United States Department of Agriculture in Alaska from 1917 to 1920 have been 1 successfully raised and adjusted free from tuberculosis. While ordinarily the practice of retaining such stock in the herd is to be condemned, and should be allowed only in extremely exceptional cases, the success of the Alaska experiment proves that a very valuable animal which has become infected with tuberculosis need not be slaughtered; and that the excellent qualities which such an animal would transmit to its offspring can be transmitted and perpetuated in the offspring without incurring any risk of transmitting the disease. 1 Considerable effort has been expended in developing a breed of cattle suitable for Alaskan conditions by crossing the Galloway breed with Holstcin-Friesians, when in spite of all known precautions having been taken the disease made its appearence I in the herd. Measures were adopted to retain the diseased animals and to raise calves from them because of their value. The diseased cattle were placed in quarantine 15 miles from the healthy herd and treated as sound cattle, being given free .HCCeBBB [pastures and receiving the usual food For the first 24 hours after birth the calves were allowed to remain with their dams in order that they might draw off the first milk, or , colostrum, from the udders. They were then removed to seporate quarters and fed the pasteurized milk from the tuberclous mothers. Milk together with gra?s and such other forage as was eaten at will, constituted the entire ration until six months of age. When old enought, they were tested, and upon being pronounced heaithy were added to the sound herd. Breeders of purebred cattle brobably will not retain reactors for breeding except in rare cases, even | though the affected animals are valuable. The txpeiiment proves, howj ever, that highly prized reactors need not be slaughtered. They can not be - uicu, out iin-\ can be isonated and bred for the production of healthy ] "21 Baptist Sunday School Visits Peachtree School I On last Sunday afternoon the ofI ficers and teachers and a large group J of the pupils of the Murphy Baptist , Sunday School met with the Peach;tree Baptist Spnday School in a fra| ternal service when the Murphy school had charge of the program j and demonstrated their system of ( grading and use of the six. point rec: ord system.
