A few people from Oxford will accompany him. The public ic cordially invited. Extensive Improvements -Mr. W. B. C. Hershey, who acquired resi dential property on Main street, re cently. is making extensive im provements to his home adjoining the property of Mr. Henry Hunt. 'Cucumbers and Mince Pie- If you see a man who looks as if he had S ' lost his footing and gone through a threshing machine, it is the one who ate cucumbers for dinner and was served with mince pie for dessert. The Jitney Car: Mr. Luther Davis, Secretary-Treasurer of the jitney line, informs us that one car . has arrived and that it will be press ed into service as soon as young Mr. Norwood arrives from Creedmoor, A Splendid Speaker Mr. W. B. Parham will! deliver the address of weleome at the Oxford Orphanage OB St. John's Day. He is one' of the most polished young orators of the State. Against That Day- It is well for the - farmers to keep in close touch with vMr. John R. Hall, the insur ance : man, and be protected in the event they are visited by a tornado or hail storm. A Slight Difference There's an advantage in owning a home. If you own" a . home you can mortgage it and. buy an automobile; but no body, ever heard of anybody mort gaging an automobile and buying a home. Health Association Dr. B. K. Hays will, attend : the State Health Officers Association . which meets next Monday in Greensboro, and will . remain to the meeting of the State '.Medical Society through Tues day and Wednesday. The Store of Quality. The Per-kinson-Green Company announce elsewhere in the Public Ledger a substantial' reduction in prices. The Store ; of Quality never handles any thing out of season; therefore it will pay you to take advantage of the very liberal reduction. For Sale We call attention to the announcement elsewhere in the Public Ledger of the sale of person al property of the late Ben Adcock, consisting of farming implements, mules, horses, hogs, cows, house hold and kitchen furniture. Sale Sat urday, June 1 9 th at the old Joe Daniel place near .Virgilina. . i ' Couple -Wed Mr. H. Johnson and Miss Bulah Curtis, both of Mecklen burg county, Virginia, came over to Oxford last Tuesday morning and were .happily married in. the parlors of the Exchange Hotel, Rev. S. K". Phillips performing the ceremony in the presence of a number of guests of the, hotel. Oxford College Elsewhere in the Public Ledger will be found the an nouncement of Oxford College. It would be well for parents to study the' merits of Oxford College before sending" their daughters elsewhere to school. For more than a half dozen reasons Oxford College leads them all. Health, training and ac cessibility are paramount. A Slight Difference Here we were in Granville disputing over a small bond issue. Up in Alamance county this week they voted $30, 000 bonds for a school in Burling ton; $40,000 for school buildings ' .elsewhere in the county and $50, 000 to secure the passage of an elec tric line through the county. The majority for bonds were between two and three hundred. Splendid Season We ; don't be lieve we nave ever seen sucn a splendid season in many years. . Un less something happens to the grow ing cropland you can never tell what will happen, there will' be no tlOubt 1 be made a more desirable quality of tobacco than for several years past. However, tobacco is rather a dry weather crop and if we should have too much rain it - will seriously affect the quality.

T. WHITE, Pres. EXPERIMENTS WITH -POULTRY Making a Flock of 100 Hens Pay for Their Upkeep." Iredell Test- ' - Farm Project." - This , work was begun April 2, 1914 primarily to determine, first, what it would cost to keep a farm flock of hens.' a year' and "just what, profit, if any, could be secured. When the work was begun there were some single comb Rhode Island Red hens, on the, Test Farm. Other good grade Rhode Island Reds were purchased in the neigh borhood. The hens were always to be given the run of the farm and get all they could eat on the side and around the barns and house. No account was to be made of the feed they ob tained by ' foraging. An accurate account has been kept ' of all grain and other feed given. For the hens a common ration of corn one part, and oats one part was obtained. The object of this feeding was to use the most common farm feds. This feed was suppli mented part of the year with wheat shorts. The chicks were fed rolled oats, tracked corn and wheat. Oyster shell was kept before them at all times. During the year, the liens laid 8,676 eggs or an average . of 86.7 eggs to the hen. They were Lkept under actual "farm conditions. All surplus eggs were sold on the Statesville market - at an average price of 20 cents a dozen and when the increase of the flock is taken in to consideration together with . the value of the eggs, the profit receiv ed amounted; to one dollar and fifty seven cents per hen. The heas consumed during - the year VjfbouC four tons of feed and increased .in numbers to 189. Market prices for the grain was charged against, the hens and all expenses for upkeep were paid by ; the money received from the sale of the eggs. The following tabulation will be interesting and show the results: Statement of Work April 1, 1914April 1, 1915 April 1, 1914 Dr. To 65 hens $1 each. ... $65.00 35 hens bought $1 each. . 35.00 To cost 3,276-lbs corn.90c 52.65 Cost 3,276'lbs oats 56c. 57.34 Cost "1,616 lbs wheat shorts $32.00 . . . . . 25.86 To incidental expenses ....

This System : v- v The boys road patrol in the State which was authorized ' by the last Legislature is being' rapidly taken hold of by the counties of the' State, its value' having ' been demonstrated by the first counties to take hold of it. Nine counties in the State have madel appropriations for the -workj Iredell and !.awba being the . last to subscribe -to boys' patrol service. Even- the counties with ' macadam are findin? -.some system of main- tenance is necessary and are look ing with favor; to the boys patrol.: -The boys also clear; the ditches out which prevent damage to roads by being clogged up.! i v CAPITAL, SURPLUS AND PROFITS $135,000.00 1 "gWW8 Demonstration , of . ; Wear-Ever ;;. . -. Alnminnm. ; Messrs. Culler and Coble, two representatives of; Wear-Ever, Alum inum ware, gave , a very . interesting and" instructive demonstration of their goods at the Lyon Memorial Building Monday, ; afternoon. The event was under the auspices of the Methodist PhiIathea class, who was well paid for advertising by receiv ing - the- entire of the door receipts. ' Although , a number . of church society meetings conflicted with the hour, and only a day or so was giv en to a canvass advertisement, over 150 guests registered. - Thus the Philatheas realized $15.25 clear profit,- admission being a dime each. .rhe best house keepers of Oxford have realized for some, time that the Wear-Ever Aluminum ware is the most ; durable, sanitary and attrac tive -kitchen, equipment known. The greatest objection was the price, but since . listening to Mr. Culler's con vincing lecture, a majority of good ladies declare they don't mind pay ing big prices for good material. .Mr, Coble, the chef, could not have been more successful with his hot cakes, candy and other tempting-eatables. He also showed a cool head when it-was announced that he must serve 150 instead of the fifty he. prepared to feed, But the great est .test, of .his calmness came when groups of ,2 5 crowded around him and the stove to observe his work and test the cooking utensils. Both. of these young men won the attention of quite a number of house-keepers and we wish them much - success in their work here. Their company - will realize what hustlers they are ' when the order for free pans to each "family repre sented . at the demonstration, reach es their office. The -Philatheas wish to thank the people ' for - their inter est .and .patronage, and Messrs Culler and Coble - for the opportunity-of making the "easiest $154' we ever received. HETTIE N.
