THE ALAMANCE ' GLEANER ✓ VOL. XLYIII GEN PERSHING WILL ATTEND STATE FAIR. Military Day Wednesday, Oct. 18- College and Football Day Thurs day -Mothers', Children's and Flower Day Friday. Raleigh, S£pt. 18.—Definite an nouncement that General John J. Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary. Fore s during the World War, will at tend the North Carolina State Fair on Wednesday, IS, was made yesterday by Mrs. Edith Vanderbilt, president of the Fair. The announcement, which was contained in a telegram from Mrs. ~ Vauderbilt to Col. Albert L.X'ox of Raleigh, served to stimulate plans for making Wednesday "Military Day" at the Fair and it v ianow expected that Wodnesday will overshadow Thursday, which «ls usually the "Big Da>" at the Fair. In order to do honor to America's greatest war hero who will make his first visit to the State Capital on the occasion of the Fair, posts of the American Legion throughout tho State will bo'asked to send representatives to the Fair and units of the State's National Guard and a detach jnent ot troops .from Camp Bragg are also expected to bo on hand. Arranpements for "Military Day" are in the hands of Colonel Cox and details have not yet been worked out. It is probable, how ever, that the program will in clude a speech by tho General in tho forenoon and some social function in his honor in the even- iug. While the visit of General Persh ing will cause attention to be con centrated on Wednesday, special plans are being made for each of tho other days of the Fair Tues day will be "Breeders' Day." All of tho livestock exhibits will bo on display and judging will begin in all departments on Tuesday. Breeders from other States as well as North Carolina will be on hand to see the Battle of the Breeds. Following "Military Day" on Wednesday, "College and Foot ball Day" will bo observed on Thursday. The annual gridiron classic between the University of North Carolina and the North Carolina State College always at tracts thousands of visitors to Raleigh, all of whom want to take in the Fair'in the morning and tno evening. Right of way will be given the football game iu the afternoon, but special arrange ments will be made to take care of the collegians before and after the game. "Mothers', Children's and Flower Day" will be observed on Friday, the last day of the Fair. Children will be privileged visi tors during the day and every visitor to the grounds wjllhe pre sented with a flower, dogwood blossoms having been designated for that purpose. Dairying in Carolina. J. A. Arey, State Farm Extension Service, Dairy Division. The great variety of feed crops which grow to perfection iu North Carolina, her long growing season making possible two crops a year, good markets for dairy products and a mild climate, are conditions that make dairy farming in this state equal to and in many re spects superior to those offered by tho best dairy suites in the Union. One might assume that there would be no shortage of dairy products in a state where such favorable conditions exists. How ever, such is the case. Especially is there a 'shortage in the coastal and tidewater sections of the state, where there is ouly one cow to evecy 14.4 persons. If all the milk produced in this part of the state was consumed in the raw form the amount available per person would be less than one half pint per day, or about one - fourth the quantity that each child should have in order to de velop a stonfc, healthy body and mind. & The small number of cows found in Eastern North Carolina can partly be accounted for by the high percent of tenant labor used in operating the farms. In the past, many of the landlords, adhering to a one-crop system of farming, have felt that it was im practical for their tenants to own cows. How long th's condition will exist it is difficult to say, but it will be safe to predict that rhe number of cows in this section will not be materially increased until both landlord and tenant realizo that milk is the best and cheapest food obtainable, and that it is a necessary part of the hu man diet. » In the piedmont and mountain sections of the state where a much more diversified system of farm ing is practiced, the number of milk cows per farm is much larger. Here hn adequate supply of milk and butter is available for each family and a considerable amount is produced for the market. There are sixteen creameries, twenty cheeso factories, seven milk plants, and eighteen ice cream factories operating in this section. About 5,500 farmers are deliver ing sour cream to these cream eries for the manufacturing of butter. Tho production of cream with these farmers is a side line. They keep a sufficient number of cows to consume all roughage grown on the farm and to pasture land which would otherwise returu no dividends. In addition to furn ishing a good market, €n the farm, for this roughage, the dairy cow returns a monthly cash in come. She furnishes profitable and constant employment for farm labor and makes possible the reduction of fertilizer bills by con serving soil fertility. The production of cream for creameries is a form of dairy farm ing which is well adapted to any section of North Carolina, and if there was an average of four milk cows per farm in this state in stead of 1.07, the present annual income of twenty-four millions fjom this source would be in creased to ninety-six millions, and this is possible without additional labor cost per farm. What You Need to Know About Vitamines. Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, State Home Dem. Agt., in Progressive Farmer. Most interesting experiments in nutrition have brought to us a knowledge of what the vitamine does for the body and in what foods it may be founJ. For want of a better way of in dicating the three vitamines thus far discovered, tjiey are called fat soluble A, water soluble B, and water soluble C. A and B are the important growth promotors and are found in many of the same foods. A is called the anti-rachitic vitamine or the preventer of rickets. It is also a specific in cer tain eye diseases. B is the anti-neuritic vitamine, and the lack of it in the diet causes terrible scourges of beri beri in some parte of the world. C is the anti-scorbutic or the preventer of scurvey. Fortunately these vitamines are found in our common foods. Milk contains all three of them and is particularly high in the growth promotors A and B. It is in tho cream of milk that A, the fat soluble, is found, and butter, eggs, the glandular organs of animals (liver, kidneys, etc.,) furnish rich sources. * Spinach, tnrnip greens,cabbage, collards, lettuce, string beans, okra, asparagus and other leafy and succnlent vegetables contain vitamine A. When one realizes in ad dition to the easily assimilated fat and sugar wh : .ch milk contains, it supplies vitamines for growth, lime and phosphorus for bones and teeth, and furnishes just about the highest quality protein or bodyjbuilder in existence, one iB in full sympathy with the nutri tion specialists who are urging "one pint of milk per day for adults and one quart for chil dren." An ordinary human heart weighs 9 13 ounces, yet ita power is sufficient to raise its weight 20,- 280 feet in an hour. Ar elephant'B trunk has 40,000 muscles. It is the only trunk a baggage man can't smash. GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 21, 1922 THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY. Its Standing Among Southern Uni versities. News Letter, Chapel Hill. The year 1921-'22 has boon I lie most distinctive iu the history ol the' University of N .>rth Carolina Library for the following five reasous: (1) One hundred and twenty-seven years after the founding of the University and 2 22 years after the establishment of the first North Carolina library at Bath, the Library readied the 100/,(30 volume mark, thereby sharing with Virginia and Texts the distinction of being one of 'he three university libraries in lha South having rnoro titan IQO,U(>O volumes; (2) It added .Bj34 new volumes during the year, or more than one-third as many as all the public libraries in the State com Uined; (3) It subscribed to 1,005 magazines aud learned journals; (4) It increased the titles in the North Carolina collection by *75 volumes and 2109"pamphlets; an.! (5) It definitely set about study ing plans for the erection of a new library building.which, when erected, will provide seminars] for graduate study, special rooms for cataloguing and administra tion, equipment for mending and binding, space for collection of; maps, bound newspapers, and prints, cases for the exhibition of i manuscripts aud early forms of I printing, apparatus for photo graphing, rare documents, rooms for the use of investigators in the fields of North Carolina and South 1 ern history, space for the trainingi of teachers and librarians in library work, and will meet in every way the needs of a modern, university. In threo other respects tho year was distinctive: (1) Its funds' for books, periodicals, and bind ing amounted to $2!,500; (2) In the number of books received it equaled Johns Hopkins for the year 1920-21; aDd (3) During the Summer School it circulated 10,- 892 volumes, of which only 4 per cent were fiction, tho per capita circulation for the 1345 student? being 12.1 for the six weeks. Treasury Deficit Now $700,000,000. Washington Correspondence. About tho only thing that is growing larger under the present Republican administration is the Treasury deficit. Beginning as a mere matter of $24,0( 0,000 the deficit has risen rapidly to 8700,-1; 000,000, with the prospect for aj' further enlargement to tun figures j very bright. It hasn't been so long s r nce Re-1 publicans promised that their ac- j cession to coutrol ol the govern ment would automatically increase I revenues, reduce debts and on- ; hance prosperity. The record for | August—the seventeenth month of the Harding administration's career —shows hr>w badly the Re publicans fooled the public. i Th(;ro was an increase of SBS,- L 000,000 in the public debt in Au gust compared with the previous month. It was due in large paiL i to the sale of Treasury securities, borrowing money to meet current expenses so that an impression of "economy" could bo given. Along with the increase in the! public debt there was a decline in receipts. The ordinary re- ceipts last month were $25,000,- 000 less tlfan in August, 1921. J Public debt expenditures weii | 8215,000,000 greater iu August this year thau in August last year. Income tax were $23, 000,000 less in August, 1022, than! in the sauio month of 1921. M s-! celkineous internal revenue re ceipts for last month were $12,-j 000,000 less than in August, 1921.! - Iu the old Norse mythology, Kr# l day was the festival day of Freys, the Northern Venus, and the ill , fortune which is still ascribed to journeys or undertakings b"guu upon this day is traceable to the fact that the goddess was suppos ed to bring bad lack to anyone who neglected her for the pursuit of worldly things. Many Chinese mothers dress their boy babies as girls in the hope of fooling the evil spirits.

In (Ivo pages of the current issue of The Searchlight, the In dependent monthly published in ! Washington, D. C., devoted to the study and discussion of uutioual ; legislation and policies, tho editor, | Lynn Haines, presonts a portrait of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge I (Rep.), of Massachusetts as the lofficial record reveals him. It is an" accurate and consequently a forbiiding portrait of an inveter atoopponent of every progressive man or measure that has found [popular f'tvor in thirty years. >• onator Lodge is a candidate for renomination and re-election. IILj strength lies in the alliances ho his made with reaction and prl* lee. Unscrupulous defend er* and supporter of the whole pro gram of tho present Republican administration, including its fa y'oTtisin to special interests, it is no surprise that Senator Lodge Lias at liis cominaud the vast power of the Federal machine di rected by Presideat Harding "him self. What has earned for Senator Lodge, agent and abettor of re action, tho help that ho is receiv ing from tho holders and seekers of power and privilege is shown in the record presented by Searchlight. That chronicle of Senator Lodge's service to oigan izod greed, political oligarchy, and Machiavellianism is too long for reproduction here, but the whole tenor and trend of it may be judged from a few extracts. On propositions involving fun damental principles of popular governniqjjt Lodge was almost uniformly—and doubtless de signedly —wrong. He voted against tho direct election of United States Senators; against woman suffrage; against tho Kenyon resolution to abolish secret sessions of the Senate; against tho consideration of. a resolution requiring publicity for war profiteering; against every ! important proposal to make great I wealth boar its fair share of tax | ation; against a graduated tax on inheritances, and against an amendment to keep the maximum surtax rate at 65 per cent —as it had been —and against publicity ■ far tax returns as ;t means of de tecting and exposing profiteers I who were charged with—making : false returns. When Lodgo cast an affirmative vote it was quite as unmistakably against popular interest and social progress as his negative votes wero. For instance: Lodge voted for the soating of Truman 11. Newberry; for the re peal of the excoss profits taxes; for the bill to make tax-exempt the income on American invest ments in foreign countries; for I he Fordney-McCumber profiteers' tailff bill; for an increase in the American Army and Navy and for the Four-Power Treaty, after hav ing fought with voice and baTTht against every amendment to safe guard it from tin, provisions which have made it an alliance. Mr. Haines, eilitorof The Search light, Ims given in a paragraph a jtruepicturo of Lodge the Reac tionary. Mr. Ilaincs says: "At ail times and in all situa tions, lie is a partisan of the ex treme type. When consistency interferes with partisanship, he does not hesitato aompletely 'o reverse a former position. Mis record contains striking illustra tions of Lodge vs. Lodge on im portant public questions. For I example, he was against clot ure I when a Democratic majority I sought to curtail debate, and for lit when the Ilepnblicans had au thority. Ho opposed the Colom bian treaty under Wilson and [favored it nnder Harding. At one | time ho maintained that Wilson should have consulted the .Senate [in tho making of tbo Versailles treaty, while earlier he had saiil: 'That part of treaty-makinir is no | concerns of ours.'" J While it is expected that office buildings will liave lives of more than one hundred years, it is prob able that most of the structures of today will fail to suit the prac tical requirements of their respect ive localities a century from now.

Initial* There Are Reasonable Method of Identiftsatlon. "Cash n check for $2007" The paylnjj teller gulped nnd then asked, "Have you an identification?" The man outside the wire window opened his wallet and produced his automobile owner's license. "I'm sorry," declured the teller, "but that won't do." The man with the check produced legal documents, letters and other pa pers which happened to be In his brief case. "Sorry again," came from behind the window, "but none of these will do. Let's see your hat." The customer handed over his weather-worn straw for examination. After a glance In tlie leather band the clerk methodically counted out the money. . "That's the surest Identification," confided the teller, "for although Im postors might have all kinds of fake documents to prove who they are, they are not likely to think of having letters In their hats to correspond with these uilder which they seek to get money. Of course, the "J J" may stand for Joseph Johnson, but the chances are In favor of John Jones. The hat benta all legal documents for telling the truth." OLD ENGLISH HEDGES GOING Landscape Beauties Being Sacrificed to Demands for Increased Pro duction From Land. One of England's greatest beauties, the hedgerow of hawthorn, or "May," Is rapidly disappearing. Driven out by the tractor, either In the west of England, noted for Its double hedge rows, sometimes with narrow paths between, or the Eustlands, with hedged and dikes alternating to the marshes, some landmark of this kind bus dis appeared. In Hertfordshire and Sussex this same thing is happening and the old sturdy roots are being dug up and burned, and replaced by miles upon miles of wire fences, to keep the sheep within bounds. Voting college-bred farmers, filled with enthusiast, fucts and labor-saving Ideas, have It all worked out, and much of the beauty of rural England with It. Cut all the hedges out of four fields of 10 acres, and you have one field of 40 acres; one man and one tractor can plow It In 10 days; where with hedges it took a horse plow 40 days to accomplish the same result. Origin of the Word ''Cop." The word "cop" originated In Lon don, being derived from the three Initials of "constable of police." This Interesting bit of Information comes from Police Commissioner Hnrlght of New York City. Chief Knrlght's theory of how the word "cop" came Into being has expe rience, precedent and probability to back It. It has experience, because Commissioner ICnrlght with police affairs. It lias precedent, because when the words of a phrase happen to have Initials which, tuken together, can be pronounced Ifi one syllable, there Is i tendency to lump them In one, and so form a new word. It bus probability because the ety mology suggested Is simple and nat ural. "Cop' 1 Is an abbreviation which any English-speaking public would like to make of "constable of police." Nobody knows all about a word until he has looked up Its origin. To do that Is one of the best of helps toward, llxlng the meaning of words much longer ond far lens familiar than "cop" lastingly In the mind. —UufTulo Times. Known to Each Other. I find It most dllllcult to remember rallies, and, this fulling, often gets me Into trouble. At u dance one evening I was introduced to a charming girl, who was standing by the door of the ballroom waiting for her partner. We stood talking for few moments, when an acquaintance came up to talk to me, and 1, starting oat glibly to In troduce the two, realized I had com pletely forgotten the girl's name. "I beg your pardon. I would like to present Mr. Wilson, and I uni afrnld I have*forgr»tten your name," I re marked, apologetically. "That's perfectly all right," she an iwered.

CHARGE VISITORS SMALL FEE Admlislon to State Museums and Pal i aces of France Now Matter | ;• | of Stated Price. Visitors to the state museums and palaces In Paris are now required, reports the Dally Telegraph corre spondent, to pay an entrance fee. The fees vary from 1 fr-inc at the Louvre to 50c at the Petit Trianon, and the first day's experience yielded very en couraging results. Although the Lou vre was open only In the afternoon, the receipts for the day were 3,000 francs. Three hundred franca were taken at the Luxembourg, and the Cluny museum and the Arc de Tri omplie each took 330; The director - of the National mu seum estimates that during the 200 days a year on which an admission fee Is charged—that Is, allowing two free days per week—the receipts at the Louvre will 'average 2,000 francs a day. Few people, Tie said, object to paying, tlie small fee, but It will re lieve the taxpayer of a great part of ills burden for the benefit of state mu seums. A proposal Is being considered to charge for admission to the gardens of Versailles on the days when the fountains are playing, as the speftacA —always a great attraction to vis itors — costs 30,000 francs to 30,000 francs a day ut the present price of coal. MANY USERS OF TELESCOPE Dealers Report Practically a steady Demand for Glasses In All Months of the Year. "We sell telescopes all the year round, but the demand for them is greater In summer than In other sea sons," said the salesman In a New Vork optician's shop. "Perhaps that Is because it Is easier to reiuuln out doors and study the stars on a sum mer night than It Is when the weather Is colder. "Also, In summer people buy tele scopes for other purposes than to study the ffturs. Folks on the sea shore get them to look at passing ves sels, at the clouds and other things. We sell some also to those who live In tho mountains and use the tele scope for lookout purposes. But of eourse, the greater number of tele scopes, especially the hltjli-power glasses, are bought for the study of the heavens. "Annually we sell an average of 200 telescopes for amateur use. They range in size from the hund glass, with 1-Inch lens, to the glass that is supported on n tripod and has a lens 3 to 3V& Inches In diameter. Larger lenses than the 3V4 Inch size are sel dom bought by amateurs. •They are for professional use." "Jinxes" Were Numerous. A number of sea wise passengers aboard the Adriatic, which caught Are from an explosion oo Thursday night, said yesterday that there was a num ber of signs attending the calling of the ship which were construed as "Jinxes" by the sailors. Among these were: The ship lost an anchor In the Mer sey ; Nearly hit the llolyhead-Dubiln ferry; The birds refused to fly aboard the ship. And the explosion occurred very close to the spot where the Titanic went down In 1912. The story Is being told of the elderly man who was nearly panic stricken and when asked Jocularly what he was afraid to die for, said In a shaky voice, "I've been trimming people all my life!" —New York Sun. Denatured Alcohol. Denatured alcohol is grain alcohol made unfit for use as a beverage. Completely denatured alcohol Is made by ndding 10 gallons of wood alco hol and a half gallon of benzine to 100 gallons ethyl alcohol. This Is free from government tiix and may be bought by any one for use as fuel or light. The denaturing must be done when the alcohol is produced and in bonded warehouses used exclusively for the purpose and for storing denatured al cohol, and Is done under the super vision of the government. The grain alcohol may be made from grain, corn, potatoes or similarly starchy products, but the conditions under which It must be produced make It Impracticable ex cept for well-equipped factories. Easy to Prevent Goiter. "Simple goiter is the easiest of all diseases to prevent," wrote Doctor Marine, the great specialist In this disease, some time ago. lodine Is known to be necessary to the normal function of the thyroid gland. Goiter Is an expression of deficiency of lodine In the thyroid, and the elaborate ex periments made recently by Dr. O. P. Kimball on the school children of Akron, Ohio, furnish conclusive evi dence that administering a nHi\ute quantity of lodine every day acts as a preventive In such regions where goi ter prevails. NO. 33 EVEREST TOP STILTUNTROD But British Explorers In Recent tempt Got to Height Never , Previously Attained. The highest point above sea level ever reached by a human being afoot, 27,800 feet, was attained, with the aid of oxygen-breathing apparatus, by two members of the Mount .Everest expedition at noon, the 27th of last May, says Henry S. White In the Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. This brought the explorers within 1,702 feet of the summit, the highest point on the earth's surface. The final attempt was to have been made June 0, but the monsoon broke June 3, definitely frustrating any further efforts for thl« year at least. When the monsoon breaks on Mount Everest, there Is no alternative but to get off the moun tain its soon as possible. It has now been definitely proved fliat the mountn'n Itself at the highest points reached Is not difTcult to climb, . and the two explorers who came so near to reaching the a tual summit were able to proceed nling the north face without ropes. The one and only obstacle that made the summit unat tainable was the bad weather, and » with the mdta>on left out. It Is eer tnln that the summit will be reached at the next attempt. The two explor ers who reached this highest point were Capt. Geoffrey Bruce, one of the lenders of the expedition, and George Finch, fl scientist attached to It Rough Men and Robin*. A few days n;'o a cnr Inspector, poking over a coal train nt Arkvllle, N. Y., discovered a bird's nest on 'he top of a Journal box of an emp;? car.
