XLIV NO. 30 Chatham THER INDUSTRIES Q..v- pment of Hydro-Electric Pow er and a Mill Overture have been made to the city fathers in Pittsboro by th ' promoters at the project at lsr's Mill, to bring the elec tric c irrent to the town for the purpose of generating current to Derate a cot on mill and supply l:ghts for the workers for the company. It is understood to be an es t bl s ied fact that the dam at Ty-or's Mill will be built and a channel cut from Hear Creek bed to turn the water into the river, thereby developing about 800 hose power. The work will begin at once. Moneure has already subserib st ck for a $110000 cotton mill to ru erected orF'the old school buil ring lot and secure power from he Lockville plant. Then another mill is in con templation in the western part of Chatham, together with the erec tion of a 75-barrel roller mill for Pittsboro, it begins to look like Char ham will take her place in the front ranks of industry where she belongs. It only takes personal effort and if you woul J have your coun ty developed, then lend your in fluence to these overtures and let's move forward. BENNETT.

C. a Diamonds, Watches, Jewelry Silverware, Cut Glass and China Fine Watch and Jewelry re pairing a Specialty FATHER OF 28 CHILDREN Old Time Negro Holds Record For Parenthood in Guilford County. Bob Austin, an "old time" dark ey, with 28 children. 26 of them living, thrice married, his last wife haying so far borne him only six children, holds the record for par enthood in Guilford county. He is 71 years old, works on the farm of Lawrence Duffy, three miles from here, every day, chews tobacco and gets up at midnight and eats meat. Austin does not believe in spar ing the rod and spoiling the child, he said today, and just tells his off spring one time to behave, after that the rod. Of his three wives, it was the second, Sallie, who most blest him. She presented him with 14 little Austins. His first wife, who died soon after the Civil War, was the mother of eight. The 14 born of the second wife came into the world during a space of 18 years However, the latest wife is young. When "Uncle" Austin marched into his home, leading his last wife, just after the wedding ceremony. the 21 children he had at that time were considerably peeved. They marched out, left in a huff. Some of them sometimes send word back as to how rhey "are getting along," but of most of them Austin hears very little. Of his 28 children 22 were boys. One of them died in infancy. One daughter also died young, leaving seven living. The names of his' children he was not content with numbering them are: Isaac, John, Tom, Bili, Henry, Larry, Sammy, Percy, Willie, Annabelle, Tony, Adam, Peter, Mack, Louis, Jake, Maria, Alexander, Roger, Alice, Lizzie, Margaret, Carrie, Charlie, Austin, Roy, Orin, and Paul. All have flown from the home nest but four. Austin has accumulated consid able gear in his 71 years here, among it an automobile. He says that he eats "tolarable heavy" but does his really heavy eating at supper. He eats plenty oi meat, milk, and vegetables at supper; his breakfast is light, also dinner. His eye is clear, his step firm and he would easily pass for a man in his fifties. He workt every day, and delights to dress up in the uniform of a soldier brought back from France. He says that he eats "tolerable" a day, but allows no smoking on his premises, sticking fast to that rule. Austin was born on the farm of Col. Robert Austin, near Pitts boro. in Chatham county. He lived there until after the Civil War, continuing after that to live with the family of Miss Betty Austin, who married Austin Jones. Greensboro Daily News. Gashed by a Hog Cary Griffin, who lives on Rt. 1, has about recovered from an experience he had some time ago with a 350-pound hog. In re- "moving the porker from the pen Mr. Griffin fell and the hog fell on him and while in this position he received a gash Jrom the hog's tusk which laid the flesh open to the bone and cut a gash about four inches long. But for the aid of .voung Mr. Beal the hog would have kiiled him. As it was Mr. Griffin's clothes were torn from his body. A. J. Mann sent the tusk to this office for anyone to see it that wishes to. This one was broken eff, but the one taken from the hog's jowl measured 7 1-2 inches. Mr. Mann also sent a spoon that has been used in his family ever since he was a child, and he is past 60 years of age. Here Tuesday Night. The Izzidore Minstrels and the F. "A. D.

SCHOOLS All Sections Taking Advantage of the University Offer Schools in all parts of North Carolina are now eagerly taking advantage of the aid offered by the University's bureau of de sign and improvement of school grounds. The bureau's field sec retary has already visited fifteen communities since the college year began and has requests to visit as many more. The secretary, Mrs. J.W.Math erly, who is an expert not only in tree and shrubs but in laying out paths, roads and playgrounds, makes her trips upon the invita tion of school officials, or oarent teachers' associations, or some times county or town commis sioners. She prepares plans or grounds, recommends shrubs and ire ?s to be planted, and gives ad vice on the general layout. This service is free. The only cost to the school or community is the experts traveling expanses Churches and charitable insti tutions are served, in the same manner as schools, when they ask the bureau's help. Those who want to know about the work may get from the exten sion division of the University, if they apply for ir, a pamphlet giv ing the principles of school ground beautification and telling what plants are best fur various soils.

Milk is not a recent discovery, ne .her is it something concocted by science, but it is the first food in importance among all the foods made use of by mankind. It is the oldest food and the one and only one which has been found to be absolutely indispensible, not only to the life of man, but of all other mammal life as well. It is a food that h; s no substitute in the diet of the young, and without which they die. In the whole his tory of the world there is not on record a single child that has lived more than a few days after its birth without having received milk from some scurce, either a natural one or an unnatural one. In America st atistics show that nearly sixty per cenc of the children are raised unnaturally on cow's milk; in view of this it is easy to under stand that the milk producing cow p'ays a tremendous part in the very beginning of the life of our people. It is not possible to raise a child, a calf, a pig, or even a puppy dog, without milk from some source, either a natural source or an un natural one. When milk is thought of in this connection, then one be gins to realize its importance to the animal life of the world. If it were posible to take milk from all sources out of the world, the earth would be depopulated in one gen eration, because solely upon milk all mammal life must depend for its first food. Why is milk so essential to the young? This is a very natural question in the face of the facts known about milk. It has been known for ages that the young could not survive without milk, but it could only be explained by saying that milk was the food provided by nature for the nourishment of the young. It was formerly believed that the proteins, fats and carbo hydrates, together with mineral matter constituted all the essen tial parts of a food, but some re cent discoveries along this line made by. Dj. E. V.. McCollum, of Johns Hopkins University, have thrown new light on the subject and opened up a new field of knowledge about foods. He finds that besides the already known constituents of foods, there are at least three other very essential ones, which he has called vita mines. It has been proven be yond the shadow of a doubt that these vitamines are absolutely es sential to human life. Not only is milk a wru b'e and indispensible food to promote growth, but being :he perfect food that it is, it enables the grown per son as well as the child to keep up ! the body vigor and thus be better able to resist and throw off the various disease germs, which we come in contact with daily. There are thousands of boys and girls in the schools all over this country, who are dull, listless and inefficient because they art not given a diet in which milk is used freely. The criild whose break fast is made up chiefly of meats and bread, washed into the siom ach with coffee or tea, cannot do good school work that day and ought not to be expected to. Because milk is not chewed, j people are prone to think of it as a beverage to satisfy thirst and not as a food. It is not a bever age, but instead is a real food in every sense ot the word. As an aid in banishing the beverage idea from the mind, it might be remem bered that a quart of whole sweet milk is equal in absolute food val ue to either of the following amounts of food : two pounds of fish, four-fifths of a oound of pork, thrpe-quarters of a pound of steak, or eight eggs of average size. It is nothing less than criminal to deny the growing child an abun dant supply of wholesome sweet milk; to deny it is to cripple the body and weaken the mind, thu paving the way for a career thai can never be what it might hav. been.
