Kannapolis, July 28.—Give ear all you who are interested in clay pigeon and trap shooting! For down in South Kannapolis H. B. Rogers has installed a brand new western trap gun, open for your benefit on each afternoon in the week and particularly ort\Thurs day. There are several good shooters in this vicinity and Mr. Rogers is anxious to bring them together. He hopes to bring the famous Avery, of Salisbury, here in the immediate future. craft from Lake Erie and 851 pro hibition conditions in the federal courts for the Northern Ohio Dis trict in the year ending July 1 have had little influence upon the speed boat traffic and blind cargoes which are the main source of supply. Blind Cargoes. While the two customs boast skirt the coast’s ‘’hot points” in an attempt to drive off the highpowered motor launches which dart ip almost at will, lake steamers push into the public docks to land blind cargoes ol 50 to 200 cases. When the custom? officials direct their limited equip ment to the wholesale dock ship ments, the swift speed-boats take u; the trade under cover of _ night t< lure the patrol boats again into th* open lake. Only a 24-hour shore guard can curb the speed-boat traffic, prohibi tion officials say.

Docking facilities are _ never required. Surrounding a huge steamer of the rum confederacy just beyond the international line, a dozen or more of the swift gasoline launches upon running afoul one of a customs boat, demands in effect that the dry agent guess who is carrying the liquor, the mother ship or the con voy. If the agents elect to give chase to the convey bote the fleet scatters in all directions and quickly out distance the slower government boat; if the patrol forces stop to examine the cargo of the steamer, the spider fleet races to shcre and is unloaded before the customs inspectors are convinced the larger vessel carries no contraband. Secretary W. N. Everett Is Able to Sit Up at His Home. Raleigh, July 27.—Secretary W. N. Everett, of the department of state, today sat up at his home on North Blount street and he is able to receive friends who have hitherto been denied him during his third serious illness. The secretary of state underwent an operation in 1924, suffered a se rious attack in 1925, a repeater in the two following years, but he went through the third assault of angina with more reserve than he has be fore shown.

Better Cows FigurelnD airying Future Washington, July 27. — (A 3 )—Ask Dr. C. W. Larson, United States dairy chief,, to picture a future for the dairy industry and he’ll push across his desk this group of figures: Four and a half million farms in America have dairy cattle. The total number of cows approxi mates thirty million. The annual farm value of dairy products is 750.000,000. Population in the United States, potential source of milk consumption increase, rises at the rate of 1,750,000 per year. There are 837 active cow-testing associations in the United States, .vith an enrolled total of 300,000 cows, each producing an average of 6,500 pounds of milk annually. “All of which means,” says Dr. Larson, “that if every cow in the rntion produced as much milk as the accredited cattle, the United States RECORD CROPS MEAN PROSPERITY FOR NEBRASKA fp in Im i iron ii rin'i'nioi.iiTiiiiiiiiii -ita min intr i — > j '' ' Finest and largest crops since the war are beini? harvested in Nebraska.

SUMMERTIME, an’ \H©T \N T.jj I WINTER <fr Wl> by Kin* heature* Svr*<iK-*f*>. Inr ■***—**— I would not need even one additional dairy cow for a quarter of a century.” The conclusion is purely a scientific one, Dr. Larson explains, and is true in possibility rather than probability. “As a matter of fact.” he continues, “it's the number of individual owners and not the cows that is decreasing. The movement is toward a higher grade cow, and high-production herds are. as a rule, increased. “Dairing is the biggest American farm industry. The prime issue now is economy in production. The fact that the amount of milk a cow pro duces anil its quality are the greatest factors in economy has led to the general development of better herds. Owners realize the overhead expense on a poor herd is as heavy as on a good herd. It take as much time, la bor and feed for a cow that produces only 4,500 pounds of milk a year as for one that produces twice that amount. “While at times it may cosfctnore TgfEftfiWff Y iW6SF »h I FORGOT TO WAKE VOU , % I 7] LAST NIGHT • HURRYjT~fI / You're; Uickti ( YoO Ain't A T 7 tAoTH yyyy^J^ Cr*»t Bni.rn right* rfcrvcd. |j_^|^_^^_ to feed a high quality cow, true econ omy is in the increased production.” Dr Larson calls attention to the work of cow-testing organizations. It has been found that the 360,000 ac credited cows produce as much milk as 584,000 ordinary cows, and as much financial profit as 640,000 average cows. Retter bred cows are the bulwark of the dairy industry, the dairy chief declares. And the purebred dairy sire seems to be the best solution of the dairy-breeding problem. Proved bulls sire daughters that produce better than other dams. I‘ live or more daughters of one bull record higher production than their dams, the' sire is placed on the ac credited list. In the whole nation there are now but 269 proved Where to find such sires and keep them until the production records of their daughters become available is one of the unsolved problems of the rairy world today, Dr. Larson says. man U, T Was. yau'KE LA,TF / 1 rtSSUII; the MASQuetr Ms?

Washington, July 26. —Alaska is one of the greatest undeveloped sources of many important raw ma terials in the western hemisphere. The territory has vast areas and resources which never have been ex plored thoroughly or investigated, according to Emmett A. Chapman, of the divjeioin of negional informa tion of the commerce department. Minerals alone recovered in Al aska between 1880 and 1926 amount ed in value to $553,305,000, while fishing resources, attaining a great importance in the last few years, are yielding anually exports amounting to from $36,000,000 to $54,000,000- In addition to fishing and mining resources, Alaska has great timber areas; undeveloped water power; many species of fur-bearing animals including seals and great grazing areas suitable for the development of reindeer herds. Because of its scenic beauty the territory is becom ing more and more popular with tourists and those in search of 6ports hunting and fishing. First real attention to Alaska came in the famous Klondike gold rush of 1896. A population of 32.000 in 1890 had grown _to 66,000 in 1910, although the 1920 census showed a decline to 55,000, but as this was Sheet asphalt 890 Bituminous concrete 4,815 Cement concrete 31,935 Asphalt, wood and stone block 165 The following table shows the total mileage in State systems in the first column and existing surfaced mileage at the end of 1926 in the second column : Alabama 3.936 2,172 Arizona - 2,031 1,421 Arkansas 8,346 4,153 California 6,582 ,3537 Colorado 8,966 3.499 Connecticut 1,952 1,819 Delaware 590 590 Florida 5,654 2,725 Georgia 6.258 2,664 Idaho 4.668 2,437 Illinois 9,459 4.495 Indiana 4,262 4,155 lowa 6,653 3.469 Kansas 7.887 1,338 Kentucky 9.646 4.192 Louisiana 8,000 4,707 Maine 1.574 1,306 Maryland 2.419 2,419 Massachusetts ... 1,563 1.550 Michigan 6,756 6.229 Minnesota 6.930 6.353 Mississippi 6.721 3.839 .-{Missouri 7,640 3,375 Montana 7.957 926 Nebraska 6.256 2.764 Nevada 2.996 1.022 New Hampshire . - 2,256 1.963 New Jersey 1,457 1.296 New Mexico 9,214 1,684 New York 14.068 9.853 North Carolina .. 6.218 5.464 North Dakota ... 6,837 1.335 Ohio 11.000 9.591 Oklahoma 5,589 1.584 Oregon 4.468 3,220 Pennsylvania .... 12033 8.439 Rhode Island .... 821 451 South Carolina .. 5,143 3.869 South Dakota .... 5,293 2,467 Tennessee 5.051 3.555 Texas 15.723 9,256 Utah 3.248 1.189 Vermont 4,462 3,139 Virginia 5,210 3.539 - Washington 3.283 2.607 , West Virginia 3.784 1,732 Wisconsin 10.279 8.240 Wyoming 3,136 929 Total 287,928 163,059 FOUND NEGRO CONVICT HIDING UNDER HER BED Instead of Screaming.

For several years following the discovery of gold this was the principal product, but as gold lodeda became lees productive attention wae turned to copper and for a time this metal maintained the lead. The development of salmon fishing dar ing the past two decades, however, has caused Alaska’s exports of cop per to run a poor second. Many Alaskans now believe that in time salmon exports to United States will be exceeded fay shipments of reindeer meat. Imports to Alaskka have not as yet attained the war-time level, when large quantities of mining and canning machinery, tin plate, tin cans and other equipment ware needed for rapidly expanding in dustries. The reindeer industry gives promise of becoming increasingly im portant as herds multiply and the meat is better known in the United States.
