Good Profits Secured By Poultry Farmer Cary, Jan. 18.—A total net pro fit of $1,515.32 was secured from a flock of 186 Rhodel&land Red r— hens belonging to A, Allen of Cary, according to a report that he has made on his flock to John C. Anderson, county agent of Wake county. Mr. Allen kept a careful record of each egg secured from his flock from the first day of January, 1925, to the last day of December. His record show 26,244 eggs sold for a total income of $1,083.05. During the year, it cost him exact ly $683.11 to feed the flock of hens producing these eggs. This left a profit of $399.94 on the laying flock of 186 birds. But during the same period, some eggs were used for hatching purposes. Mr. Allen raised and sold 1,683 pounds of broilers for $724.38 securing good prices be • cause of the fine quality of his ! early fryers} and because they were well fed. In addition, he now has 161 strong selected pul lets to add to his flock and thege are worth $391. This makes a total profit of $1,515.32. Mr, Allen states that it was al most impossible to keep a separate account of the feed used by the broilers and pullets and he does not know exactly how to charge this off. He is satisfied, however, : that his flock returned him at least $1,500 in cash during the past j year. In addition to his poultry work, Mr. Allen has a small farm and is giving each of his children a j good education. He claims that ! the poultry provides him with the 1 necessary cash to keep his young er children in school and the old ! er ones in college. Mr. Anderson 1 states that he is one of the best ' poultrymen *n Wake County. N. C. HIGHWAY SYSTEM CONTAINS 32 DETOURS Sixth District’s Half Dozen Re main in Unchanged Condition —January Report Out.

The drunken drivers must be taught a lesson and the best way to teach it to him is to let him make a few roads himself. Another is to take away the right and privilege to operate a car on the highway. This will help tc restrain, not only the violator, but those who see the way in which he was handled. “It is largely the young fellow who is full of life, who drives recklessly on the roads,” said Judge Stack. “Girls are cautious and prudent, as a rule; it is the boys who lose sight of the rights of the other fellow. This auto mobile proposition is almost a new thing and we must become adapted to it.” Judge Stack commented on the high rate of crime in the State and stated that one reason for this is the fact that a criminal can hop into an auto after committing a crime and be out of the State in a short while. He stated that a criminal always planned a crime out before he acted. They figure that they can tamper with the jury, bribe the witnesses or beg the judge out of punishment. Speaking further of the way in gpi of punishment. Judge Stack re ferred to petitions asking for par dons. “And tbe very fellow who stands on the street corner and bewails the manner in which criminals are given light punish ment, will be the first to sign the petition.” “This promiscuous pardoning of prisoners has a big effect on the crime situation,” the jurist con tinued. “I think now that we have a splendid executive at the head of our State government and one who does not promiscuously pardon prisoners, no pardons be ing allowed unless it is a merit ious case. I am not against the pardon commission either.” “We have no right to throw stones at Chicago,” stated the jur ist. ‘ That city had one murder every day last year, on an aver age, and it has between two and one-half million and three million people. North Carolina has about three million people and we aver aged more than one murder per day last year.” The cheapest thing in North Carolina is a human life, he said. “A man recently killed another for ten cents; another killed a man over a rabbit; another over a turkey, and still another over a dog. The time has come whs*; the officers of the law must wake UP-’—Judge Stack at Forsyth Court. OH, BOY, DO YOU REMEMBER? Pumping tires by hand? Filling sidelights with kero sene? Buying gasoline for 9 cents a gallon? Cranking the car about midway on the side? Using the steering handle in stead of a wheel? Wearing goggles, gauntlets and dusters? Storing the machine away in winter? Paying extra for headlights, top and windshield? Hiring a team of horses to haul the car back home? Entef^ a car by way of a door in the rear? When all the neighbors came to the window and front doors when you started out for a ride?; Stopping several times and shuting 'off the engine to allow: drivers of horses to get past' without having a runaway? Do you remembers these days? D°y0U? RUTLEDGE IS AGAIN APPOINTED POSTMASTER Postmaster W. E. Rutledge, who has served as postmaster here for the past four years, was re-ap pointed by President Coolidge last veeek and has been confirmed by the Senate. The business of the Yadkin ville postoffice has greatly increas ed during the past four years and considerable changes have been made in the mail service at this place. When Mr. Rutledge took charge of the office there was one mail in the morning from Wins ton-Salem, carried by automobile, and one mail from Rockford, when the river could be crossed, which came in the afternoon, carried by .buggy. This has been changed, through the efforts of Mr. Rutledge so that we receive mail twice daily from the railroad be sides the Winston-Salem mail, and the same mail now goes to Crutch 1 field via Boonville and goes twice |c 3ut^nui ‘^opuns plaaxa X(iep j much better service than before. Besides this a number of Rural ! route changes have been made to benefit patrons in various sec tions. Rural routes and star rout es are so arranged that Yadkin-. ville has the best service of any I small town off the railroad in this j section. -• MR.

C., January 16.— Although North Carolina re ceived in revenue per capita less than 42 of the 48 states in the un ion in 1924, she spent more money for public improvements than any other state in the coun try, with the single exception of Illinois. Her total interest charges, however, were higher than any of the states, with the exception of three. Spending $32,670,000 for per manent improvement during that year, she ranked second highest in this particular, being outdis tanced only by Illinois, the expen ditures for that state for this pur pose having totalled $39, 280,000. But North Carolina’s per capita revenue receipts were only $7.80. This was lower than any state, ex cept Illinois, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Arkansas. The figures are compiled by the bureau of the census of the Uni ted States Department of Com merce, and have just been receiv ed here. I SEEK U. S. AID ON BOON TRAIL — 1 Rumor Is Heard of More Cement By L. J. Hampton Yadkinville, Jan. 12.—Chairman A. B. Hobson, of the Yadkin coun ty road board, has affixed his signature to the resolutions pass ed by his board requesting the | federal road authorities to desig nate Highway No. 60, known as the Boone Trail, as a part of the federal highway system. A week ago today the county commission ers put their 0. K. on the resolu tion and it was signed by the board chairman, J. N. Davis. It is understood that the Ki wanis club of North Wilkesboro, the road commissioners of Wilkes, and the county commissioners of that county have also endorsed the resolutions, which will be for warded to Chairman Frank Page of the state highway commission, who will be asked to in turn for ward it to the federal authorities with the request that the Boone Train be designated as a national highway. Hear of Paving People of Yadkin county as well as Wilkes and the people further west are jubilant over the cur rent report that the hardsurfac ing contract of the section of the Boone Trail between North Wilk esboro and Brooks Cross Roads will be let on February 3, next. There have been many rumors amount the proposal to hardsur-, face this particular stretch of the Boone Trail, but recent newspap er dispatches and editorial com ment indicate that the state is to now let the hardsurface contract on the thirty-mile section, three miles of which already has its hardsurface coating, thus settling the matter of speculation as to when It will be dohe. The contractor who built the concrete highway from here to the Yadkin river has stated that he will undertake the building of the six-mile section between Yad kinville and Brooks Cross Roads for approximately $10,000 a mile less than the contract price of the road just finished, it is ex pensive to move road machinery and equipment, and the contrac tor states that he can well afford to do it for less money on account of the fact that his equipment is ! now all upon the ground and his road force waiting to go to work either here or elsewhere. -- NOTICE OF SALE OF LAND UNDER MORTGAGE By virtu re of the power contain ed in a certain Mortgage Deed executed Jan. 10, 1922 by D.
