AHOSKIE TO HAVE FIVE-DAY CHAUTAUQUA RepraMqUtire of Chautauqua Her* This Week Making Contract. FtVE DAYS?TWENTY ATTRACTIONS IN ALL Ahoakie WUI Be Included in the Towns That Will Form A FhreDay Circuit?One of Oldest and Best in the Coun try?Will Be Here in May, ThU Year. Miss Grace Herschsy of Philadel phia, Ps., was in Ahoakie two days last week, in interest of the Chautau qua Association of Pennylsvsnia, an. association that fosters the Swsrth more Chautauqua. During that time she secured twenty-fire names to a contract between that association sad citizens of Ahoslde. On Monday she returned and with the assistance of _. local helpers, secured the remainder at the names of the guarantors for the Chautauqua, which will hold fort here next May. | This Chautauqua is one of the lar gest and best- in the United States, having been showing sach year for the past nine in msny of the lar ger towns and cities of North Carolina Yheir usual program consists ef seven days; bat ,this year they have ?r C ranged a five-day program that will b? offered to towns of somewhat smal ler population. The following town* in North Carolina have signed eon tracts for this Ave-day ehautauqus since January 1st. and will b? includ ed in the same circuit with Ahoskie: I Williamston, South port. Board man, Hartford, North Wilkeaboro, Little ton, and Graham. Other towns in North Carolina will no doubt sign later. A representative is now in the town of Windsor and the Windaor people have signified their intentions of signing up for this chautauqua. Ahoskie is fortunate in having fur nished sufficient public spirited citi xans to insure the coming of these great attractions hare. A season tic ket to the entire twenty performances will cost only (2.50 and are trans ferable, thus allowing out-of-town en thusiats to purchase season tickets, which can be used by any member of the family. Included faL the list of attractions are several musical numbers, includ* ing a Hawaian cast, and other enter tainments equally aa food. A band of It pieces will also be among the attractions. The drama that will be given on the laat night of the chftu tauqna will be worth the price of a season ticket alone. A special fea ture of thia chautauqua will be the children's department, which will be ??perr??ed and conducted by a spe- i cial worker. Many prominent lec turers and persons of national and in ternational fame will be incited in the list of twenty attractions. The following citizens of Ahoskie male up the guarantor*: D. P.

The disease is not included in the list of reportable maladies and only on official information reaches the de partment here. Inquiries reached the department Tuesday from Morehead City asking what steps were necessary to quaran tine the neighboring town of Beau fort, where there are said to be con ' i siderable number of cases of influen za. Morehead City wishes to secure itselr from an invasion of the diseases. Other cases are reported from Fu quay Springs, the number being given unofficially as 24, and four cases near Cary, both places in Wake County. Bat little apprehension is felt that there will be much influent this win ter ,and the belief is held that if there are many cases they will be I of a very much milder form than the manifestation of the disease that took so heavy a toll of life last year. Oth er outbreaks in northern states have been very much milder than the orig inal invasion and very few deaths have been reported. The cloeing of the school at Fuquay Springs is re- ] garded as a measure of safety rather than one necessitated by the actual | spread of the disease in the commu- , nHy. A Cheaper Diat IncrMtMl Bm( Profits I.ess (sins in weight, but greater profits, resulted from feeding a herd , of cattle in a velvet bean field, com pared with another herd fed in a aim- j ilar field for only a short time and then given more costly feed, includ-t ing sorghum silage and cotton seed meal. These two feeding test were conducted on private farms in Flor ida in cooperation with the Bureau of Animal Husbandry, United States ' Department of Agriculture I In one case 220 native steers, 8 to 6 years old, averaging 682 pounds per head, were turned into An 80 acre field of velvet beans early In November. After twenty-eight days ' the animals averaged 590 pounds and ? the feed was changed to sorghum si lage, velvet bean pods and cottonseed meal. On the 68th day the weight waa (89 pewnde. - Or, 4he- 6JMr day-1 when the test was ended it waa *64 pounds. The'average daily gain par head was approximately three-fourths of a pound The ration waa not the i typical fattening ration used hereto- i fore but was one used to secure a comparable degree of finish Had { grain feed been fed in addition, pro- i bably a greater gain would have been secured. There waa margin and a profit of 4.02 per head. In the second experiment 116 na tive steers similar to the first herd were pastured on an 84-acre field of velvet beans for 72 days beginning at about the same time of year. They loet considerable weight for ft part of the second month, but there was a daily average gain for the Whole peried of a little more than one-: fourth pound per steer. The pasture charge in this case was $? per acre, ( and the profit $8.86 per head. The ; margin was 82 as In the outer caae. ' To the Dyspeptic.
