In answer to last week's ques
tion ? A dollar ran be changed
to different ways without us
in ft: pennies. And incidentally
a dollar ran be changed 40 dif
ferent ways without nickels;
74 without dimes; 1158 without
quarters and 242 without half
dollars. The winners in town
were Mrs. Forrest Joyner and
Mrs. Kd Kichardson. Out-of
lown winners were Mr. Ked
Kemp of Koute 1, and Mrs. Ku
gene Wilson of ltoute :i. Mr.
?lack Harkins suggested this
week's question. How many
different political parties have
elected Presidents of the Unit
ed States?

Mauy are the stories, both
printed and verbal, about the
draft registration Wednesday and
the funny experiences of regis
trars and registrants on R-day.
One of the best of these came
from Dunn where an inebriate
registered and when asked how
high he was replied, "about half."
There were one or two registered
at Mills School here who smelled
highly of alcohol but the funniest
one was fche Negro, who. when
asked his heighth replied, "9 feet
and some inches." Then there
was the man with one brown eye
and one grey eye and the deaf
mute that wrote all the necessary
answers on a slip of paper and
handed the slips in turn bo the
registrar.
H ? u
Practical jokers had a holi
day in New York recently. The t
pranksters would ask an unsus
pecting friend if he would like
tickets to the opening of the
liurma Itoad. The victim, think
ing that this was the opening !
of a new show would invaria
bly say yes, whereupon the
iokesters would give the victim
the telephone number of the
Japanese Kinbassy.

Then there was the National
Guard recruit in camp who was
on his first visit to the rifle
range. The order, "fire at will",
was given. The recruit turned
slowly to his Sergeant and naively
asked, "which one is Will."

An eating place in San fowl

During Registration Day the
16th. PM believes that: 99,476
aspirants for the honor of being
first to register competed for ear
ly starts. That 19.001 conscien
tious objectors insisted upon their
right not to register while 19
women-believers in complete sex
equality insisted upon their right
to register. That 4.291 persons!
Joined registration lines thinking
that free calendars were being
given out. That' 54.942 gallons
of ink was used, including blots
and crossings out. That ink
companies declared extra divi
dends and helped finance defense
through payment of excess pro
fits tax. That 18,694 statistic
ians issued analysis showing tihat
the average registrant drives 3-4
of a car; knows 5-8 of a trade;
is married to 9-14 of a girl: has
1 1-3 children; and if laid end to
end would probably object stren
uously.

Borrowed with reservations
rrom F. A. Kerch's column in
the Chatham News. The coun
try has gone mad over football
picking. Fvcrybody who can
peck out a few lines almost al
ways comes around to selecting
football winners. In the man
ner of a few who resort to
whimsy to voire their selections
I'll give you my choices. I like
Gravy over biscuits
Moon over Miami
Fggs over light
Moon over Mountain
Music over radio
(?a'iup over Dunn
football over cricket.

CROP ROTATION
Crops that farmers plant within j
the next SO to 6U days will large- j
ly determine the rotations they i
will carry out during' the next
year, according to County Agent j
W. C. Boyce and William E.
Adams, Assistaut Agronomist of I
the Soil Conservation Service ill!
the Tar River Soil Conservation;
District in Louisburg.
One of tlie most important 1
crops from the standpoint of es- !
tablishing a rotation is small j
grain. A very good rotation in i
which small grain forms the j
foundation crop is a three-year :
rotation consisting of small grain, I
lespedeza, and cotton or corn.
In this rotation, the grain is |
planted in t'he fall. The follow- J
ing spring lespedeza is sown on ;
the grain to supply nitrogen to
the land and to provide summer
cover after the grain has been
harvested. In September the les- 1
pedeza is harvested for seed and
small grain is drilled in the les
pedeza stubble. The lespedeza is
harvested for hay the second fall
and the following spring the les
pedeza stubble is turned, tinder
and cotton or corn planted.
In establishing a crop rotation,
results for the first year may not
be very striking. But over a per
iod of years, returns from the
land will be increased, physical
condition of the soil will be im
proved, and there will be less
erosion and better crops.

Chapel Hill, Oct. 2:1. The Car
oliua-Tulane Homecoming classic
here Saturday will find 17 Tar
Heel and 19 Greeuie iettermeu
taking up where they left off af
ter last year's 14-14 tie. and all
the signs point to another bril
liant battle by ground and air.
Harry Hays and Fred Cassibia'.
who led the Tulane ground gain
ers to a 14-0 lead last year, and
Jim Lalanne and Paul Severin,
who pitched Carolina to its 14-14
tie. will all be back and holding
the center of the stage again.
Thfs will be Carolina's last
game on Tar Heel soil except' for
the Duke battle. Since the latter
is already a sell-out. Saturday will
be the last chance any fans who
do not have their Duke tickets
will have to see the colorful Tar
Heels, and a near-capacity crowd
is expected.
The game. whkli will match
two perennial leaders in the Up
per and Deep South, one noted for
its air and fche other for its ground
power, will climax a colorful
Homecoming week-and of pep
meetings, reunions, and other
features, and Chapel Hill will be
decked out in festive trimmings
for the occasion.
The Carollna-Tuiane rivalry is
one of the hottest and closest on
Mie books. In their live meet
ings since 1922. each team has
won two and tied one. and the
difference in their total scones is
only three points. ? -

The Kranklinlon School. Fri
day. October 1R. The guest speak
er for this occasion was Mr. I/O
Koy Martin, former Secretary of
the State School Commission and
now Vice President of the Wach
ovia Rank & Trust Co. Mr. Mar
tin's address had to do chiefly
with the economic outlook for the
south as a whole and North Caro
lina in particular. He pointed out
certain economic handicaps under
which the south has labored since
the Civil War. He pictured the
natural resources and advantages
of the souMi for a better economic
Status in its relationship to the
Illation for the future. He recog
nized the diversified farm pro
gram and Soil Conservation pro
Igram as being one of the most
| beneficial steps taken for future
I
and permanent improvements of
farm conditions
He also declared that \Jorth I
Carolina offered exceptional ad
vantages for the location of the j
more skilled industries and that
an effort should be ma do for the
location of such industries in the
slate.
Especially significant was the
statement that he believed that
the State of North Carolina should
adopt a slate financed nine month
school term. He cited the pro
| gram of the schools in recent
years and expressed a hope that
|the adoption of the ninth month
term would be the next step in
| the educational program of the
I state.
j His address was thoroughly en
i joyed by a large group of local
I citizens.
I 0. B. Harris. President of the
Club, appointed a nominating
Committee to report at the next ;
meeting composed of L. W. Hen
derson. R. I). Collins, and A. B

A delightful supper was served
I by the ladies of the local Baptist
' Church.
