PAGE 2 f A JUST ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER ?BY? CARLGOERCH k / The Christmas shopping season is with us once more. On account of the depression, Santa Claus will deliver his presents afoot this year. He ate up his reindeer last summer. One of the hardest problems con-1 fronting the average man these days I is to answer his wife's questions as to what he wants for Christmas. Most men don't want a thing; they are perfectly satisfied with what they've got. However, they've got to rack their brains in order to try and make up a list. After much racking, nine out of ten come forward with the customary three standbys?sox, handker- 1 chiefs and neckties. Ask any woman, though, what she wants for Christmas, and she can 1 give you a list that sounds as though she had spent months in trying to memorize a Sears-Roebuck catalogue. Most women spend one month doing their Christmas shopping. 1 They spend the other eleven months 1 thinking of what they want the < following Christmas. < I When Shakespeare said that man f wants but little here below, he cer- ' tainly spoke the truth. Please ob- < serve, however, that he made abso- '< lutely no mention of what women 1 want. The older a man gets, the 1 fewer his wants are. The older a ' woman gets, however, the longer her i Christmas list becomes. < s This is also the time of year when i people are purchasing Christmas ^ cards. I like funny things and plenty 1 of them, but I'll be darned if I can ] see anything funny about some of < these so-called comidal Christmas t cards that get sent out every year. 1 Some of them are inclined to be 1 slightly vulgar, others make fun of 1 the depression, while still others < have supposed-to-be funny sayings ' on them. They may be all right but, i somehow or other, they always re- i mind me 01 a man wno is saying ;us * prayers and, during the course of his ? devotionals, mixes in a few snappy t jokes that he has heard in Pullman 1 smokers. 1 8 By the way, whatever becomes of t those little policemen's suits that c are given to boys on Christmas r morning? I always see a dozen or c more on the streets on Christmas, r but I never see them at any other r time of the year. 1 f Freddy, aged 7, and Harry, aged 5, made an agreement on Christmas Eve that they would lay awake and watch for the coming of Santa j Claus. Little Harry, however, fell j. asleep. 'Long about 11 o'clock, he j woke up again and nudged his brother. "Did Santa Claus come?" he in- j quired. "Uh-huh," replied Freddy, sleepi. ly. s "Did you see him?" * "Yeah.'- c "What did he do?" inquired Har. ry excitedly. | "Oh, nothing much," answered j Freddy with a big yawn. "He fussed j over the stockings at the fireplace ? for a few minutes and then went J and got into bed with mother." ? I It looks ^ though we might have ? a big Christmas. Most of us need it. I We've had our worries, our troubles { and our difficulties for the last | twelve months. Plenty of them. I * think we're entitled to a little fun j and diversion, so let's have it, even { if it hurts. | Girl Faints When ] Student Tops' Query \ * NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 15.? | A Yale student being initiated into j membership in a fraternity ap- | proached a young lady on the street j here, halted> and somewhat shame- * facedly asked her a question. ; "Can you direct me to a wooden 1 Indian?" the student, who said he j was George Porter, asked. { The girl was so frightened that < she fainted. That started something j which ended in a fight, gun fire, j a riot call and two arrests. j Patrolman John Ahern arrested < Porter because his question caused j the girl to faint. Joseph Farricielli went to Porter's I assistance, and punched the patrol- j man rather severely when advised j to mind his own business. Town boys attracted by the disturbance ' held the policeman while Joseph j punched some more, the police said. < The riot call followed. Fifteen ( patrolmen answered the call. When the riot squad arrived, the ' crowd had fled, all except Porter, Farricielli( the girl and Patrolman Ahern. Ahern again arrested Porter. Then several shots were fired to halt Farricielli who started to ran. He came back and was arrested. I Architects have planned sunken gardens which are to surround the! Washington monument, in the na j tion's capital. Warrenton, N. C. Department Lists Carolina-Made Goods In furtherance of its efforts to acquaint the people with and to encourage the use of North Carolina-made goods by North Carolinians, the State Department of' Conservation and Development has been distributing to merchants of the State specially prepared lists of "North Carolina-made articles for the Holidays." The list includes wearing apparel and accessories, things for the home, toys, books, and other articles designed to bring pleasure to their users. A statement accompanying the list points out that Christmas shoppers are going to be buying useful things this year and that "North Carolina-made gcods, being largely of this type, will make a strong ap- I Deal to the buyer. All the home-( made goods bought by our home merchants will give manufacturing plants additional working time, create more wages and more buying power. This will give everybody a more cheerful outlook and serve to loosen up the purse strings all the more." In releasing the statement Direc. tor Harrelson stated that it was the hope of his Department that merchants would secure ample stocks if North Carolina-made gcods if they did not already have them on their shelves, and that they would jive prominence to them in their show windows, on their specialty counters, and in their advertising, ind that their origin of these goods ivould be plainly indicated by appropriate show cards and tags. 'North Carolinians, then should make it a point to buy as many if these home-made things as possible both for the use of themselves ind family and for gifts to friends within and without the State, and [ believe that our people will take pride in doing this if the gcods are called to their attention," continued she Director. "Money spent for .hings made in North Carolina jeeps factory wheels turning, it navs more wages and thereby jreates more purchasing power. This Seeps retail activity brisk. In fact t helps all business, manufacturng, wholesale and retail. Moreover, leither the retailer nor the customer sacrifices quality, style or any;hing else in buying things made lere in the State. Our furniture losiery, silk, cotton, rayon, garment tnd other factories make as good or letter products than do the factories if other States, and certainly the noney we send cut of the State loesn't stimulate any more busiiess here at home."

Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry department at State College, says considering its great impor-, tance, feeds and feeding for poultry is generally less understood than any other phase of the industry. This lack of information is shown especially at this period when an ottomnt ic hnincr marfp fn substitute ai/WUit/V ?<MMW vw ? certain feeds on hand at home for these which should be purchased or exchanged. Mr. Dearstyne declares that poultry requires a balanced ration containing, protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins in an available form. These should be given in the quantity and of the quality to maintain the bodily vigor of the fowls and permit them to lay according to their highest ability. It is important to give the birds plenty of water because the fowl's body is 55 percent water and the egg is over 65 percent water. Animal proteins as supplied by fish meal, meat, meal or milk products are also necessary. It is not enough to rely on the vegetable proteins supplied in certain of the grain feeds. The cereal crops of Ncrth Carolina will supply all the carbohydrate feed needed but a little more yellow corn in place of white corn would help. The fats supplied by grain feed are usually enough for poultry but minerals should be supplied by bone meal, oyster shell, limestone, rock phosphate and salt. Mineral deficiencies in the ration are common. Mr. Dearstyne says all birds must have a sufficient amount of vitamins as supplied by sunlight, green and cod liver oil. Where these are not present serious troubles have arisen in the flocks. fJastnr oil nrefloners the life of leather shoes. NO MORE RATS or Mice after you use RAT DIE. It's a sure rodent killer.
