McKay Gives Some Advance Points On The New Ford Car Lexington Dealer Has Seen The New Car and Says It Is A Good One. “Wait for the new Ford” is the cry the Ford dealers everywhere have set up. They and their salesmen talk it at every opportunity, in fact, they verily breathe it. Their advertise ments in practically every newspaper in the land carry the same request. So folks in general, those who have waited, O, so long for Ford’s latest product, are getting a little anxious about what the new Ford is going to look like and be able to perform. Woodrow McKay, who sells Fords over at Lexington, according to the Dispatch, has been to the Ford plant at Detroit and has actually ridden in one of Ford’s new offspring. Prob ably he occupies the enviable position among Ford dealers hereabouts as the little boy with a package of crackerjack riding the hobby horses at the fair holds among his play mates. McKay says the new Ford has an appearance somewhat similar to the new model Chrysler and the new Marmon. It will have three speeds forward, standard gear shift with the latest word in the transmission system. The motor will hardly bear any resmblance to the old Ford motor. The cars will be equipped with wire wheels with an extra for each machine. The entire equipment of the new Ford will be attractive as well as sturdy and durable. You will be able to get your car in the most popular color ings too. Quick get away is stressed in the new model and this is reflected in the emblem that will be placed on each car, that of a partridge, which is supreme in the bird kingdom for its quick get-away. The name “lord will, of course appear on all types, said Mr. McKay. The car will have all the speed that is needed up to 70 miles per hour. The new Ford truck will be heavier and speedier than the old truck. In fact, McKay says he saw one truck under test make forty miles j an hour carrying a load of 8,000 pounds. The truck will have four speeds forward with two high gears, j Folks have gotten a general idea | during the past few months as to what to expect from Ford’s plants, j but they are still up in the air as to the price of the new car. Will it be a great deal higher in price than the old model, and how will it compare in price with other fours on the market ? These things are causing more anx iety than the waiting for the new car. v. _ A meeting of business men and farmers was held at Mebane Tuesday to discuss the possibility of locating a mammoth milk condensery in the town. It is said the condensery will be built at a cost of approximately $250,000 when the farmers show the promoters that there are enough dairy cows in the section to supply 50,000 pounds of milk daily. Pays First Visit To Native State In Thirty-Two Years Bennett, Sept. 20.—Albert Moffitt, who left this section 66 years ago first going to Ihdiana and later to Texas, has returned home after spend ing two weeks in the community with relatives and friends. This was Mr. Moffitt’s first return visit to his native state in 32 years. Eulon Brady, of Elon College, vis ited homefolks Saturday and Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Scott, of Greens boro, were here for the week-end. Among the dwellings in town which are being remodeled are those occu pied by Messrs. A. L. Maness, P. C. Brady, E. S. Phillips and J. R. Peace.

Elwood Cox, fifth district highway commissioner, in his office in High Point and requested a change made in the routing of • High way 62 is the news appearing in ^re cent issue of the High Point Enter prise. Little information can be ob tained here of this proposed change or as to who made up the delegation. Request was made that the road be routed from Asheboro by way of El dorado in Montgomery county, which would make the distance from Ashe boro to Albemarle eight miles farther. Petition for the change, however, was refused on account of the lengthening of the route. It was on July 1st that the State Highway forces took over the maintenance of Highway 62 ex tension from Asheboro by wTay of Farmer and Bombay to Albemarle. A large part of the highway is already of first class sand clay construction and with the upkeep on the road per formed by the highway forces it is now a fairly good highway, at least through Randolph. Flag Raising Exercises At Randleman School Saturday Friday afternoon, September 24, there will be a flag raising at the Randleman high school by the mem bers of the Randleman Council No. 31, Junior Order American Mechanics.

Down through South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana the hot wave spread until at some points the mercury went to blood heat. A few light breezes in places cooled the atmos phere, but little relief was given un til Sunday. Storms and plentiful rainfall featured Sunday in many parts of the South. The , southern portion of North Carolina was re lieved by an abundant rainfall, but little or no rain fell anywhere in the central and northern portions of the State. The atmosphere cooled off somewhat during the day, however, and went nowhere near the 100 mark which featured the previous days. Winston-Salem seems to have been the hottest spot in North Carolina, the thermometer having registered 100 there on Thursday and 97 on Friday.

Tobacco Prices Average 20 Cents In Middle Belt Tobacco markets in ten towns mid cities in what is termed the middle belt of North Carolina opened Tues day. Prices ranged around twenty cents a pound but varied anywhere from one cent to 86 cents a pound. There was no monster dumping of tobacco like that which characterised the opening of the eastern belt mar kets two weeks ago. Farmers seem to be biding their time in placing the weed on the market Carthage mar ket reported the best opening hr its history with tobacco from six coun ties dumped on the market in such quantities that the buyers and auc tioneers were unable to handle it Three hundred thousand pounds were sold on the Aberdeen market the first day, prices averaging from 18 to W cents a pound. Large amounts were on the markets elsewhere, Sanford es pecially reporting large sales for the opening day. X ♦ ) How Your Powder Puff A Woman Bacteriologist Found One That Had 20,000 Of The Things On It As Anfta Dean Dulaney, bacteri ologist at the University of Missouri, crossed the University campus recent- j ly she found a young woman’s vanity case. What she did with it she told last week in Hygenia, Health Maga zine: “Somewhat more curious than scrupulous, I opened it, and there lay the usual powder puff. No longer could I repress my bacteriologic in stincts, and I carried the little puff to the laboratory, where I made a count of the bacteria attached to it. . . . “I cut the small puff into four equal parts, placed one part in a known amount of sterile water and let it remain for a short time to dis lodge the bacteria. Then varying amounts of the water were carefully | transferred to sterile glass plates with covers—petri dishes, we call them in the laboratory—and a proper amount of culture media, or food supply for bacteria, added. “The bacteria—say ‘germs’ if you prefer—finding suitable food, mul tiply and form groups, or colonies. Each colony represents the growth form one bacterium. These colon- / ies were counted . and by calculation ; the total number of germs clinging to the part of the' powder puff used was obtained. This number multiplied by four of course gave the total count for the entire puff. It was 20,000. Twen ty thousand bacteria clinging to a powder puff to be-used on a clean face!” Practical woman, she wrote a post- j script: “Powder puffs may easily be j washed and, what is more important, | fresh ones may be purchased cheaply.: New Puffs which have been sterilized and wrapped in papers may be bought for a few cents each.” Mrs. Robert Lloyd Entertains Mrs. Robert Lloyd was hostess to Circle Number 1 of the Woman’s For eign Missionary Society last Friday : evening. Numerous plans for the year were made, among which was a silver tea which will be held at the home of Mrs. J. S. Lewis at her home , on South Fayetteville Street tomor-! row afternoon. -Following the busi ness an ice course was served. “I need lots of pull to succeed in j my business,” remarked the dentist ( as he extracted another tooth. .-itaMr-. B.-L. Early Raleigh, N. a, Sept 29,—Many tobacco diseases develop and multi ply on small -leaves and suckers from uncut stalks, according to G. W. Fant, extension plant pathologist at State College. Chief among these diseases are blackfire, wildfire and mosaic or “calico”. “Tobacco growers as a rule allow the stalks to remain in the fields until frost and these stalks produce growth usually affected with these diseases,” states Mr. Fant. “They also continue to draw on the soil, thus lowering the plant food in the soil.” By cutting the stalk with the last priming, the amount of infective ma terial which carries the disease over to the following season is greatly re duced. Also a much smaller amount of plant food is removed. Within recent years an increasing number of tobacco growers have tried this method for disease control and in every instance the results have proven satisfactory. / Mr. Fant states that no injurious effects have been found from cutting and turning under the tobacco stalks early in the season and that it has be come a fixed practice an many com munities. In many instances this method has been found to be bene ficial to the soil. As practically all of the diseases affecting tobacco are dependent upon infective material carried over from one crop to the next, the farmers by cutting and plowing under the stalks early would not only protect their crops from many diseases but from many insect pests as well, he states.
