PAGE TWELVE THE NEWS REPORTER THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1924 BARGAIN PRICE OF MEN A Texas "chemist finds that the net material value of an average man is 98 cents. . it sounds like a bargain price to attract the atten tion of the ladies, but here is the way the professor figures it out: The body of a man weighing 150 pounds, if divided into component chemical elements, would be found ,to contain enough water to wash a pair of blankets, enough iron to make a ten-penny nail, lime suffi cient whitewash a small chicken coop and enough sulphur to kill the fleas on a good-sized dog. All these elements, he estimates, could be purchased at a drug store for 98 cents. If the professor had only found that the average man had enough grit to make him worth $1.00 it would not have been so dis heartening. However, it is going to be hard to prove to anybody except a woman that men are not worth more than 98' cents each. The aggregate of loss by fire 'in North Carolina during February was $846,261 according to official re ports of each fire on file in the state insurance department made public March 29 by Commissioner Stacey W. Wade. This shows an increase of about $200,000 over February of last year. Charlotte hdads the cities with heavy losses, having 28 fires iwith a loss of $172,935. Raleigh j has the premier record among the I larger cities with 8 fires and a loss iof $340.

Miss DeKotha Hughes deserves much credit for her efforts in training her pupils so ' thoroughly. At the conclusion of re cital Supt. Sykes delivered a medal to Little Miss Inez Harerlson for j most progress in music this school term. This was the beginning of series of entertainments for next two ! weeks. j Saturday evening we had our first j number of the Piedmont Star Festi- j val. The Wilkerson Trio and Miss j Price entertained most delightfully. ; Despite the fact that it rained con- j tinually all Saturday afternoon there j was a large audience present. Mon-1 day evening. Welsh Singers are com-, ing. This promises to be very good 1 indeed, for everybody enjoys a pood j male quartette. We are expecting j a packed house out to hear them. The Piedmont Evening Star Festi val continues through Thursday ev ening. The following Friday night the reciters contest for the various grades will be the beginning proper of the high school finals. Mr. Lorena Pland Humphrey, of Burgavv, is spending the week en with Mrs. W. B. Roberts. Mrs. S. W. Harrelson, of Lois, S C, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. J. A. Mills here. W. C. Gore of Raeford, was here a few days last week. Mrs. Emma Bailey, of Chadbourn, visited Mis. F. G. Kelly a few days last week. Miss Chamberlain a former teach er here and at persent teaching at Evergreen, visited friends here last week-end. Mr. Max Harrelson returned home here Saturday evening after spend ing several days in various towns in Eastern Carolina, painting signs. Miss Pleasants, of Chapel Hill, vis ited Mrs. O. V. Hicks recently. Mr. and Mrs. I. J. Spivey went to Loris. S. C, Saturday to visit rel atives, Mr. H. C. Hughes, of Loris, was here a few hours last week. Mr. James McGougan returned home Sunday after snending some time in Charlotte on business. Rev. Mr. Craig, of Monroe, preach ed at the Baptist church Sunday night. He was here in interest of the 75 million campaign Miss Mildred Griffin, of Cerro Gordo, is spending the week-end here with Miss Mary Graw Griffin. Mr. Kitchen Council, one of our county commissioners was a visitor in town last Friday. Mr. and Mrs. John Garrell and family motored over from Loris, S. C, Sunday afternoon. The many firends of Mr. C. C. Pridgen, were very glad to see his card in last week's issue of the News Reporter, announcing: himself as a candidate for sheriff of our county. We feel sure that Mr. Pridgen will make an excellent sheirff. if elected. The congregation at the Baptist church were favored with a 20 min ute sacred concert last Sunday even ing by the Wilkerson Trio, and Miss Price, of Piedmont Evening Star Festival. On last Thursday, several people of our town were greatly surprised to see such an immense crowd at the station to meet the noon train. It appeared that we were to be fa vored with a visit by some nobility, perhaps Governor Morrison and his bride or maybe a member of the Teapot Dome scandal. However on close examination we found such to be untrue for their faces appeared to bg long and hun gry looking. On further investiga tion we learned that there had been a contest on at the Methodist church between the Reds and Blues. The Sunday school having been divided into two sections, namely Red and Blue, for a membership drive. The loosing side having to entertain the winners, and the gathering a crowd of said-contestants were looking for a barrel of fish which had been or dered by losers. When lo and be hold, they did not arrive. However, Mr. Brooks Elliott, manager, assisted by Mr. J. L. Lewis and the town marshal finally succeeded in dis persing the crowd with the promise that as soon as the commencement exercises were over, and Mack Sar vis, Roy Pridgen and Jerry Mills could get their hooks sharpened and enough little worms together they should postively be filled. This seemed to satisfy so they de parted to their respective homes with smiling faces. The sociable given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Kelly by local school board, in honor of teachers; last Tuesday evening was one of much merriment. Many games and April fool stunts afforded much laughter and made the evening most enjoyable for all. Punch was served throughout the evening and at con clusion of party ice cream and cake were served. About 15 were present besides the teachers. Mesdames, J. L. Lewis, R. G. L. Edwards. W. S. Pemberton and Bet tye Wade went to Whiteville Mon dav afternoon. ZincvTray Wash the zinc tray in your gas stove, then cover with vinegar, let stand for a few minutes and then rinse well and dry.

One Hour to Charge Batteries RED-TOP TIRES LONDON EDITOR SECURES DEFINITIONS OF HOME Some months ago the editor of a London magazine sent out to sev eral hundred people thisx querry: "What Is Home?" Eight hundred replies came back, answers being written by persons representing all walks of life. According to the English editor, they came from homes of refinement and from those of crudeness and poverty. Several of these definitions were selected as best covering many answers sent in and among the number were the following : Home a world of strife shut out, a world of love shut in. Home a place where the small are great and great are small. Home the father's kingdom mother's world and the chno disc. place where we grum md we are treated the the para- center of our affec which our heart's best Home the ble the most best. Home the tions, round wishes twine. Home the only place on earth where the faults and failings of hu manity are hidden under the sweet mantle of charity.
