County Buys ' Ten Registered f- 1 Jersey Sires Working in cooperation with the county agent, the state and federal departments of agriculture, and the coiumittce of agriculture of the Syl-| va Chamber of Commerce, bankers and business men of iSylva luive made possible the purchase of ten registered Jersey bulls, to be placed iili ten of the communities of Jack son county. The bulls have been bought and will arrive during the week. This step, to further the dairy bus iness ol''the county, following the purchase during the spring of a large number of grade Jersey cows by farmers of the county, was tlw; outcome of a meeting ot' business men with tlie extension workers, last Thursday, in Sylvn, At the time of the meeting, the report was made that) the state and federal dairy specialists have just completed a thorough investigation ot the dairy conditions in the coun ty and with the survey in hand are sure that the county is now shipping enough cream to supply a small creamery, and that the Carolina Creamery Company, lias virtually'as sured the .Jackson county j>eoplev that it will establish a branch cream ery in the couuty early next yetr. provided the tanners of the count v establish their Cast growing, yet young dairy industry upon a firm basis. * Tile experts reported1 that the next step to be taken was the placing of registered sires in at least ten of the( communities" of the county, inline-J diately. anil the enthusiastic business| men and bankers immediately made? it possible for the farmers to buy the! bulls, and contributed one-third y of their cost, in cash. The county agent immediately got in touch with fed oral dairy experts, and authorized them to buy and ship 10 Jersey bulls to the county at one?. The county agent states that he has sold five of the animals to pro gressive farmers in the county, and has assurance that the other five will be placed at once. CULLOWHEE STATE NORMAL CLOSES Cullowhee, .N. C., "May 21?The. Cullowhee State Normal School com mencement came to a close today af ter several days, of colorful and va ried programs. The pageant of Wed nesday evening, presented in: the open, with a drizzling nun ( f?rt of the time, was attended by nearly six hundred i>coplc. As, evi dence that the pageant appealed to the audience, nobody left during the two and one-half hours of perform ance, iinj which seventy five students, in appropriate costumes, presented five separate acts or episodes, in the history of Western North Carolina. Each episode, except the last which was an allegorical presentation; of Western North Carolina's triumph over ignorance, had a delightful ro-( mance running through it. The alum ni banquet, held in Moore Dormitory Thursday at noon^ was a success be yond the dreams of the alumiyi offi cers. About a hundred guests sat about the festive board, and enjoyed reminiscences of the old Cullowhee and indulged in) dreams of the fui ture Collowhee. The high school gra duation Thursday evening consisted mainly in a tree-planting ceremony, in which various members of the cla-s likened the beautiful balsam tree being planted to various aspects of the- life of those who go out from the institution as graduates. The combination of recitation, dance and song about the tree and beneath the suspended electric lights, together with the preliminary parade with Japanese lanterns, afforded a pleas ing variation from the conventional class day exercises. The Normal sen iors had no class day exercises in the ordinary sense, but gave instead the allegorical closing act of the pageant as their part of the commencement program. The address to the senior classes today by Senator Johnson of Robeson county, was a fitting cli max to the delightful series of pro grams rendered during commence ment. His subject was "Culture for Scrvice," and the address was em belished with apt literary allusions and historical anecdotes, as well as | being earnest and forceful. Just at the closing of the ercise* today, HIS LAST LETTER " ' """" "'?-. > .' V The Message of the American Legion Auxiliary Poppy BUY ME?I STAND FOR SERVICE.
