Gibsonville grows and is grow ing toward Blon College, and later on the corporate limits of Gibsonville might be enlarged. In thia instance Guilford might want to follow any enlarged cor porate limits, so it is jost as well to nip the matter in the bud.

Graham Home Building Co. Shareholders' Meeting; New Scries of Stock; Reports. Lul week the annual meeting of the rhareholders of the Gra ham Home Building Company was held. The basiness part, of the meeting consisted of the election of a board of directors. Report* of the year's work and the condition of the company were read, which are of special interest. The gross earnings of the past year amount to $14,114 98, gross expenses 93,977.34, leaviug $10, 197.64 net earnings, which does not inolnde the undivided profits of $25,967.18 shown by the pre ceding years' report. After ma turing Series No. 27 oi stock and setting aside $2,600 for reserve, the net profits are $21,814 .32. The report showed 23 new homes built, 22 purchased and 11 repaired or remodeled ; 46 loans retired ; 56 new loans. This item is of special interest: Since the organization of the com pany, it has earned $193,022.02 and paid $171,107,00 in profits to shareholders. At the time of l he report there were 4384 shares in force. So far the company has never had a loss, and the money ha? earued more than six percent interest. All loans are secured by first mortgage on real estate, thau which there is no safer in vestment, and the interest rate is far better than savings depos its, or government bonds. The money paid in is invested in property in the community, and the company pays the tuxes on the money paid in by share holders. A new series of stock will start on March 13th. There is no safer investment. Se v e r a 1 hundred shares of the new series have al ready been subscribed for. More Gas Used In 1935; Yields 619 MillionTix Standing of North Carolna as to Consumption and Receipts Gasoline consumption by motor vehicles in 19 3 5 increased 6.4 percent over the preceding year and State taxes yielded a revenue of $619,000,000 according to sta tistics collected by the Bureau of Public Roads of the U.

Timely Farm Questions Answered at State College Question: What is the best procedure lo follow with the flock with poultry feed at their present high level? Answer: The only thing to do is to carefully cull the flock for all low-producinit birds. Every poor layer removed from the flock and placed on the u^arket means a saving of seven pounds of feed each month and it is very proba ble that all flocks io the State contain a certain peiceut of birds that should be removed. There Is little that can be done to ma terially affect the diarket price of eggs and the only other alterna tive is to get rid of the poor lay ers and save feed. Question: When and how much .fertilizer should be applied to grape vines? Answer: For bearing vines of good vigor from one to two pounds of a 5-7-5 fertilizer should be ap plied to each vine as the buds are swelling. For vines that are low in vigor, stable manure or nitrate of soda should be applied before buds swell, io addition to the complete fertilizer. On newly set vines use stable manure or ni trate of soda at rate of teu tons of manure to the acre or one fourth pound of nitrate to the vine. 6. H. ENFIELD LISTEN, FRIENDS The Master Key of the humao heart is Love. Too often we degrade friend ship by explanations. "Sit Down Strike Continues in Detroit Woolworth Store." Well, who deserves to sit down any more than the girls who work in a five and ten store. "The Governor of North Car olina doesn't smoke, drink, chew, gamble or play golf." What's the secret of his popu larity with politicians when be has so little in common with them? I ? The fellow who requires the most explaining Is the fellow who dose the most complaining. The energy expended ou friv olities could remove mountains if controlled and directed into proper channels. There are those who never turn a new leaf because their pages are all stack together by last year's sweets.
