Zig ler on the 14th day of April 1922, was called in Superior Court yes terday and the entire day spent in selecting a Jury. Without making an examination of Superior Court Records, it can be safely stated that this is the first time in the history of Rockingham County where father and twin sons faced a first degree murder char ge For this reason it was but nat ural that tiW largest number of peo ple seen at the Court House in many a day was there yesterday. Automobiles lined both sides of the road for a quarter of a mile and all parking space about the bhilding was occupied.

' The elder Bisk moved into Rock ingham County from Stokes Coun ty many yiars ago and has been fanning and operating a lnill west of Mayodan. He accumulated con siderable propjerty arid when this trouble came npon him, he was con sidered prettye well-to-do. There i* no question but Mr. Sisk has bore a good reputation and was consider ed a good citizen. It is aaid that Hardy Sisk had been in trouble before, that sever al years of age he was mixed up in some way with what was known as the Jim Allen highway robbery; that a suspended sentence held over him at the time of the Zigler shoot ing. Sandy seems to have borne a bet ter reputation. The old man is a good looking old gentleman and there does not appear to be any thing bad in the appearance of the boys. At any rate no one would take them to belong to the criminal class. In the Court soom they act very becomingingiy. Mr. Sisk conferred with his coun sel as names of jurymen were call ed. Frequently he would turn ano speak to one of his sons. Counsel for the three defend ants, are Messrs A. L. Brooks of Greensboro and Glidwell and May bury of Reidsville. Solicitor 8.

A day or two lat er, the boys at the suggestion of Mr. T. J. Gunn, surrendered to the Sheriff and were placed in jail at Wentworth. Ed. C. Zigler, the dead officer was a married man with a wife and six children. He too had many friends as did the Sisks.

Furthermore, there is no social class distinction between college and public-school teachers. The work of students is very highly developed, because ev ery honorable performance is given appreciation, regardless of what it is”.

Cef&WViN^ ^ATUSAL GAS WASHINGTON, Jan. 26,-^As tKS nation’s supply of natural gas is very limited and geologic studies and prospecting indicate that only a small part of the United States will ever produce it, the Bureau pf Mines advises users to make the most of it while it lasts and to av oid waste. Its engineers say it may be saved in the following ways: Correct temperature should be maintained by the aid of thermom eters, as keeping a home too hot is wasteful as well as injurious to the health. Many families can save gas with out inconvenience by using fewer rooms during cold weather A cooking utensil should be ready to be placed over the burner before it is lighted, and the gas should be tumd off when cooking ends. tWhen water hast- come to a boil the fire should be turned down or the vessel moved to a smaller burn er, and just enough heat should be supplied to keep the water boiling.

RAILROAD BARGAIN DAYS PROPOSED FOR STACK PERIODS Same principle modern mer chant Advertise*-Sale ad vanced for railroads DULL SPELLS AVOIDED BY PROPER EFFORTS St. Paul Jan. 24.—Bargain days on railroads—the offering of special inducements to equalize passenger and freight tragic under the same principle thht the modern merchant advertises sales to stimulate *rade at times which otherwise would be rated dull—were advanced today by Charles M. Babcock. Minnesota com missioner of highways, toward ame-i iorating railrnd ills in the United States. “More or less slack pe*:ods as well as those of traffic congestion make up rail transportation pro blems, according to pres reports” said Mr. Babcock. “In my opinion, adoption by railroad managers of the business stimulants and meth ods employed by the successful mer chants of today will go far toward solving the problems. Many commo dities can be moved as well in one month as another and inducements in the form of freight rate reduc tions in the so-called dull months, I believe, would equalize the now seasonable movement. The same would apply to passenger travel, although in a lesser degree perhaps Bargain days on our railroads could be made to work for the mutual ad vantage of carriers and shippers.” Traffic experts of long experien ce said that proposed legislation now pending congress provides for seasonal rate reductions to promote the shipping of coal in certain mon ths, but credited Commissioner Bab cock with originating the proposal to broaden the plan. “Building material shipments of fer a simple example,” continuel Mr .Babcock- “cement dan be shipped almost as well in one month as an other, and every car of eement for construction takes others of lumber and steel and various materials en tering building (and also exempt from seasonal shipping conditions. All that seems necessary to move such freight to the best advantage and conveneince of the ca riers is a cut rate inducement and ;t must be enough only to slightly move than offset the investment charges. Re turn loads and other details probab ly can be worked out with little dif ficulty once the plan is undertaken” FURNITURE MADE OLD WITH REAL WORMS (By Associated Press) PARIS, Jan. 26.—Trained worms instead of buckshot are now being used by certain manufacturers of antique furniture in order to give it the venerable aspect brought by age and decay in the real old pro duct. The new departure in this in dustry is due to the ingenuity of a gardener living near Dijon. Noth ing that certain wood worms which had been killing his trees reproduc ed with rapidity, he has gone into the business of selling them to an tique, dealers. Before delivery he trains the worms to the work requir ed, so that the furniture maker has only to turn them loose in a room empty save for the new furniture, and the hungry worms proceed to bore holes in the surface of the wood. When the furniture has the number of holes thought necessary, the worms are coaxed out of the wood and turned loose on more new furniture. This holed appearance was form erly obtained by firing buskshot in to the furniture and then gouging out the shot. EXPORT LEAF TOBACCO FOR THE YEAR 1922. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON.
