They are just plain game roosters to toe most of us, but to toe fol lowers of cock fighting they are a bunch of the finest fighters seen in Randolph in a long time—these 22 cocks incarcerated in the jail yard in Asheboro and apparently happy with their lot These 22 game cocks were a part of the seizure made by Randolph county officers Sunday afternoon at a cock fight in the pine woods within 400 yards of the Archdale Methodist church where a revival was in pro gress. The officers, Randolph county and High Point, not only seized these 22 game roosters in their raid, but arrested six men, seized 13 automo biles, a pair of scales for weighing the birds for the fight, a box of steel spurs, two hats, one coat three quarts of liquor, and three dead roosters killed in the ring. The spectators, estimated at a hundred, fled to toe four comers when the officers appeared on the scene, leaving the roosters, cars and other equipment to their fate. The officers nabbed six of the men and impounded everything else in sight Those arrested were arraigned before Magistrate H. A. Mitchell and gave bond for appearance at prelimi nary hearing. Since the raid the cars have been redeemed and the owners arrested as they came. All made bond.

Vets Make Flowers And Proceeds Are For Disabled Veterans Of World War; Are Made In 58 Places. Mrs. Robert Bunch, president of the Asheboro American Legion Aux iliary, announces the date set for Poppy Day as Saturday, May 26th. Mrs. Rufus Routh is acting as chair man for this special day and has a splendid committee of workers ffom the Auxiliary to assist 'her in the sale of these poppies which have been a means of providing employ ment to hundreds of disabled World War veterans through the winter and spring months, according to Mrs. M. H. Birfchead, rehabilitation chairman of the local Auxiliary unit. The little red flowers have made possible earnings of approximately $100,000 for these disabled men, she stated. “Making of the paper poppies which the American Legion Auxil iary offers on ‘Poppy Day’ to be worn in honor of the World War dead is reserved strictly for the war disabled,” Mrs. Birkhead explained. “It offers a means of employment to veterans unable to do other work and not only brings them money for the support of themselves and fami lies, but aids in their rehabilitation by giving them beneficial, interesting work. “The poppies are made in govern ment hospitals and in special poppy work-rooms maintained by the Auxiliary. No veteran with a com municable disease is allowed to make poppies. This year 58 different poppy making centers have 'been in operation in 40 states. Employment is restricted to men unable to do work of other types of work and preference is given those with fami lies to support. The paper poppy is used exclusively by the Auxiliary because its making is a hand rather than machine process. “The best of working conditions are, of course, provided for the dis abled men employed in the poppy project. Hie number of poppies that rnafr 'can make in' one day'is re strictor! in order that the workers win ned tax their strength. The work is directed in such a manner that it wiH aid in the physical and mental rehabilitation of the veterans, as well as giving them financial benefits. The money contributed for the poppies pays the wages of the poppy-makers and helps support the Legion and Auxiliary’s activities for the welfare of the disabled veterans and dependent families.” Miss Ross Honored By Student Council High Point College High Point, April 28.—Miss Lucy Clyde Ross, of Asheboro, a member of the present Junior class of High Point College, was today elected as secretary to the Student Council of that institution.
