JABBER PUSH BUTTON RUNS 1 ! | HUGE CATTLE RANCH; : Successor* to Texas Pioneer Use Electricity. Menard, Texas.—Ott<* Carlin lighted a nevy oil lamp, drew water with a pump, examined one of the new iron nails which were rapidly displacing the old wooden pegs, and thought it was progress. But he kept a few of the old candles on hand and preserved the old oaken bucket for safety. That was 1877, and the place was the fa mous 100,000-acre Las Moras ranch. Otto’s assignees and descendants now press a button. Magic lamps glow, meals cook, chickens hatch, pumps draw water, saws cut wood, sheep are clipped, refrigerators refrig erate, grindstones grind, and waffle ; Hons waffle. They just push a but ! ton. Electricity also is transforming the cattle ranches. Life Moves Faster Now. Life moves with a swifter tempo on the land which Otto Carlin blocked out 50 years ago. Otto would not know the place. Toiling up the valley of the Colo rado river from Austin, Texas, In the summer of 1877, an ox train forded the clear stream of the Llano and, drawing up at a spot on the San Saba river in Menard county, deposited a cargo of lumber and square pointed nails. Out of these Carlin built his ranch house in the desolate waste that was then West Texas. Recently the old was razed and on its site, made out of some of its own timbers, stands a ranch house of a new type—a spreading bungalow with wide porches and spacious rooms, hardwood floors ; and oak fit-' tings. And beside each polished door is an electric light switch. A strange thing mounted on a truck. ; having long limber arms, comes along on Las Moras ranch these days. It is a moving “barber shop” equipped to “bob'” sheep electrically. Ott* Carlin used to truss a sheep up with buckskin thorig and harvest the wool with a ctamsy pair of shears, one clip at a time. Now the twinkling blades of the sheep barber can turn out 150 hair cuts a day each. An expert haul clipper, working at top speed, cannot do more than 50 Electricity Does It. Descendants of Otto Carlin’s dairy cows munch food cut by electric en silage -cutters, give their milk to an electric milking machine and are com forted by an electric fan which drives away the flies. Mother hens can play barnyard bridge, while an electric in cubator hatches their chickens and an electric brooder raises them. Horses are branded by electric Irons and clipped by electric clippers, while elec tric Irons of a different type curl the maid’s hair and iron the men’s shirt*. Las Moras ranch does not stretch s© far away into the sunset as it formerly dld, because the 100,000 acres has dwindled to 19,000. But tills curtailed acreage produces more wealth tfcau ; the original 100,000 did. Charles L. Martin owns the place, and his four sons, college trained, op erate it. They have installed almost ! t every modern mechanical device . known lo farm operations. Witches Being Sought in German Community Leipzig, Germany. —Belief in witch- < craft and sorcery still persists In some parts of rural Germany. A wave of the old superstition has been sweep ing the little hamlet of Wreschenode, near Gauersheim, and while there have been no burnings at the stake, life has been made miserable for sev eral unfortunate suspects, both men and women. An automobile was wrecked near the house of a supposed witch, and it was excitedly charged that the witch had caused the accident by expecto rating on the roadway just before the car passed. When a young girl was taken ill it was averred she had been bewitched and she was shut in a dark room for three days while incantations were chanted periodically to exorcise the evil spirits. Outside the house door armed men stationed themselves with the hope of catching the evil ones, but it is not recorded that any were caught. Bottle Yields Sailor's Farewell 40 Years Ago .Halifax, N. S.—A farewell message •from John Lee, master mariner, to his widowed mother, believed to have floated around the world in a bottle for nearly forty years, has been re ceived here. The bottle was picked up in the Baltic Sea at the Island of by a young Gqrman cable engineer and forwarded to the Premier of Nova Scotia. It read: “To whom it piay concern: Tell mother I died fighting. John Lee, Master Mariner, Halifax. 1 ’ Jt was dated “May 17, ’87.” The paper was faded gray and the ■writing very faint, but legible. .Mrs. Lee died 35 years ago.

GRANT SURVEYS WORK (From the Tar Heel) The second annual conference of the General Alumni Associa tion drew to a close last Satur day afternoon after a two-day period of intensive work on the part of the delegates. Interest ran high throughout all ses sions and before disbanding the alumni voted to make the confer ence an annual affair. Following the dramatic appeal by President Chase, characteris ed by its favor and earnestness, in which he gave emphatic.warn ing that the State's University, now recognized as a leader a mong other universities throug out the country, will be forced to take a second rate position | unless its legimate needs for itemized in its budget requests, 1 are met properly, the alumni pledged themselves to support every request for appropriations he University has made of the lext legislature and expressed i :omplete confidence in the stew irdship of its President. ' “The time has come when the : )eople of North Carolina have to nake up their mind as to what and of University they want, md I don't believe for one mom ent that they will be content vith a second-rate university/’ President Chase declared. Must Carry On “The University today ean not measure its needs in terms of student enrollment alone. The institution will be caught up with the current needs of its building program if its present request is granted, but the main tenance program is a thing that • must go on. The University is away behind in its equipment. Our Library spent $20,000 for , books last year, and Harvard ! spent $159,000 during the same period. Yale University an nounced an endowment cam ' paign the other day for twenty • million dollars and yet that will not go to take care of increased student enrollment. Our facul ty has been har dhit recently by tempting offers from other in stitutions. Greenlaw and Ferson and Snell have gone and L. R. Wilson and Archibald Hender son have stayed at a personal financial sacrifice.” There was every indication at the conference that the alumni and other interested friends of the University will carry their fight for appropriations to the floor of the Legislature if nec essary. Secretary Grant cited the $275,000 gift by William S. Kenan for a stadium as an in spiration to further gifts. “Al umni in the north and west al ready have that habit firmly fix ed. A wealthy man who dies in California, for instance, without leaving the state university a nice portion of his estate is con sidered somewhat of a disgrace. A constitution was adopted by the delegates providing for a change in the system of elect ing officers of the General Al umni Association.
