Kalei^h, Oct. 27.?If because of the drouth and shortage of fced stnffs this winter, some of the catth cannot be fed as they should be, don't kt the heifers suffer, caution dairy extension workers at State College. "It is the usual custom to let the j dairy heiftTs suffer when there is a I shortage of feed," says A. C. Kim rey, dairy extension specialist at State College. "Jli* is a mistake. ^ would be better to let the mature animals bear the brunt rather than the heifers because the mature cows finished fheir body growth and 'an better afford to lose weight than the heifers. These should be kept Srowinjj all the time. When growth js cheeked, the young animal carries the defect on to maturity and therc f?re ha sa body too small for the breed. A dairy cow is simply a ma chine for the consumption of feeds *?d xohverting these into milk. Wl?en the animal has been stunted, w>,.v smalt machine is grown'*. < Mj\>Kimrey states that the heif are usually left to depend on last'ire. Pastures are poor over most the State and the young cows "houid have some grain feed so that tliev will not lose flesh and thus start t1,e winter under a handicap. Nearly *" farm cows in North Carolina are *ma" ^ue to this neglect of heifers, Cnds Mr. Kimrey. _ fcul la addiiioftto fefid, the young cows need comfortable quarters, Mr. Khnrey states. Calves keep thai bodies warn with heat energy deriv-i ed from feed consumed or by, the protection given in comfortable stalls The quarters for the calves should so be arranged that cold winds cannot blow across their bodies. Fresh aii is good but not cold, sweeping winds which causc the food to be used for heating purposes instead of for coo tiiiued growth. -o RECORDER IMPOSES 8 MONTHS SENTENCE - The heaviest penalty inflictol 1j the Recorder's court, Monday, was I months on the roads, against Huberl Stanley, convicted on a statuton charge.

EGO OF SENA#5r LODGE DEFEATED LEAGUE NATIONS .Washington, Oet. 24?Senator Hen ry Cabot Ixdge branded Wood row Wilson as jin egotist. ^Everybody here knew that V?r. Lodge was one. There has been s suspicion here ever since the Versai !cs treaty took shape that envy of Wilson caused Mr. Lodge to tin square round on the policy of a league of nations. Many of his admirers believed that if his name could have been written at the bottom of that treaty he would have been for itfc ratificaton as it stood. It aws sat the time Mr. Wilson started fo Franco, to take part in the framjV; uf the pact, that Mr. Lodge wan' od to go. Now, it is plain to observv. here that those who felt that Mr. ?' nlge was piqued b"jcausc he did riol ft to go, hi":i a bit ter enemy C tVc League of Nations. The booi^ written by Mr. Lodge in dicates that these who asserted that Mr. Lodge was mad with jealously were correct. Senator Lodge was a very able man and well-educated. He had a great fund of' intelligence. But, withal, he was very small about, some thing3. He was prejudiced against the south, and everything that came out of it. His life here in Washington softened him a little, but he hated Dixie. He would have rather turned the world into a bloody war than giveNi man born in the south credit for, the league of nations. The Wilson ego was very strong, but little like that of Mr. Lodge. o MARRIAGE LICENSES Licenses to wed was granted to 10 couples, by the Register of Deeds for Jackson county, during the month of October. 1 ) ?
