FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1916
Perhaps you get tired of reading the oft repeated ad
vice, "Shop Early" but then think of the typewriter.
(And incidentally the sales people).
Mr. Taft told the newspaper boys at Chapel Hill
Thursday night how kindly the Washington correspond
enta treated him when he occupied tho White House.
The Columbia State inquires, "what has become of the
proposed aala of the Danish Islands?" We have the im
pression that the referendum vote sunk the proposition.
Wonder if the committee of the Historical Society took
Brother Falrbrotlier'a serial entitled: ' The Boy Stood on
the Burning Deck" under advisement? Surely some lit
erary merit in that production.
No literary production of tho curre.it year was found
worthy of the Patterson cup. Evidently no copy was sub
mitted by any of the following illustrious writers: Sant
ford Martin, Jim Cowan, lEd. Brltton, Colonel Ctawsou,
Bob Gray, or "Square Deal" Jones.
FREE SCHOOL BOOKS? - V
The University News Letter in discussing the propo
sition to furnish the children in the public schools of
North Carolina with school books at the expense of the
tax-payers, calls attention to the fact, although many
guesses have been made as to the outlay necessary, should
such a plan be put into effect, such estimates ranging
from 12,000,000 to $7,000,000, that the City of Norfolk
furnishes free school books from the primary through the
high school grades at an annual average cost of only 45c
per pupil. On this basis th? News Letter estimatej the
annual school book bill in North Carolina to be about
$250,000. A very pertinent question Is , asked too. "Is
North Carolina ready to furnish hooks to Its children at
the expense of the tax-payers?" This is a question that
must be answered pretty soon. Kreo school books Is one
of the innovations in the modern plan of education.
Whether North Carolina is ready to undertake the addi
tional responsibility at this tlmo is very doubtful.
However, it must come to it sooner or later and the soon
er the better.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
"FEEDING THE PACKING HOUSE PLANT."
Wilmington Star: "The El Paso Herald, taking notes
of the successful, cattle and hog raising now being carried
on by the farmers In the boll weevil section of Texas, de
clares that the former cotton growers have found "a new
way to riches." The farmers have learned something
about the livestock business and are growing the crops
that take care of hogs, sheep and cattle at a minimum
cost. The result is that there is plenty of meat animals
for the packing house, and it means the success of both
the livestock and the meat packing industries. The sum

the prosperity that once prevailed In the all-cotton coun
try. The Texas paper states that the opinion of the farmers
in the Southwest is that the livestock Industry has passed
the experimental stage, and that the returns from it on
the farms have been so profitable that the farmers have
branched out on a larger scale. They do not stop other
kinds of farming, but they have found out that llvestirk
raising makes a better success of all other kinds of farm
operations. A farm with its livestock industry finds it
self equipped with the best of all fertilizer factories, so
to speak. On three-fourths of an acre of alfalfa, one
farmer put $80 worth of beef on two steers, while the al
falfa patch was soon ready for another grazing for more
cattle.
Situ-e the farmers of Union county, New Mexico, have
gono into the cattle industry, they have made such prog
ress that they are now shipping 6,000 head of cattle, worth
$190,000 every month. They are keeping up the record,
which Is at the rate of $2,280,000 a year. Considering the
cost of taking caro of cattle, the farmers find it Is a

new owner tf the Boston Red Sox,
world's champini baseball clu'j, got
his start to fame nttoch the same as
did Joseph J. I.annln, late owner of

and years am that Frazee, as a boy,
worked-in the old Peoria hotel as a
bell-hop. Frazee was a good hell

him to this day was established among

Hopping bells in the Peoria hotel,
however, didn't last very long, for
Frazee jumped his job and went over
to a bill-posting comipany; where he
also became txpert. His bill posting
