1 If the red bud and the flower
ing quince that are planted in the
ejlst side of our front yard have
nolt made friends they are at least
*>t clashing as they have been do
g for the past few weeks.
They have shed their blossoms
.nd have only green leaves now.
We made a big mistake in set
ting them so close not
ealizing that they would bloom at
he same time.
They were never so full as this
year and you couldn’t enjoy one
without turning your back on the
»ther. The soft color of the red bud
made the brilliant" quince flowers
seem overdone while if you looked
,t the quince first its glow made
the red bud look like a dead chick
en’s comb.
Sometimes I wonder whether it
was in the springtime that the
Lord God planted a garden east
ward in Eden and in it put the man
that He had formed and into whose
nostrils He had breathed the breath
of life.
And is our share of the heritage
of that divine breathing the reason
we are so strangely impelled to
make our own planting at this sea
son ?
I believe in calling a spade a
spade; that is much better than
calling it a shovel which is often
done.
The oldest and the loveliest of
the spireas in now in bloom. It
comes about half-way between the
blooming time of Thunbergi and
of Van Houtei. The blossoms are
in long, graceful sprays like Van
Ho *-!. bu tseparate flowerets
are quite double, each cluster
forming a dainty bouquet. I think
this variety is called Plumina.
While I believe whole-heartedly
ir. advertising I do regard some
examples of it as disgusting, not.,
to say insulting. For instance: The
manufacturer of a certain perfume
declares that it “s.irs the senses,
thrills, sets heart on fire." And he
pleads that feminine readers use
it “and know the joy of being ut
terly irresistible.” There follows
a description of how men will flock
around the perfumed lady beseech
ing her favor, while friends envy
her strange power to win love.
1 have become accustomed to see
in gpictures of most intimate wear
ing apparel displayed to
the most possible attention, and the j
time has come when the laws of
hygiene know no reticence; but 1 i
do hold that the man who would
forsake all and follow a subtle j
scent might as well be allowed to
wander with the breezes. He prob
ably wouldn’t be worth going af
ter.
As for the sweet-smelling lady
who could so lure all in her vicinity
she ought to be thoroughly disin
fected and kept in close confine
ment.
But it may be that the ad txag- I
gerated slightly.

Poultry Meeting
On Wednesday night a number
of men and women met at Wake
lon school auditorium to hear Prof.
C. L. Parrish tell them about how
I to have better flocks of poultry. Ht
has charge of the extension work
j of State College. He made a very
informing address on culling and
I bloodtesting flocks. Prof. H. C.
Guager poultry disease specialist,
i came with Mr. Parrish and helped
, ou * answering questions about
diseases of chickens asked by those
present.
Mr. O. D. Massey, who operates
the hatchery, said that if he could
get eggs from accredited flocks he
could sell forty per cent more
chicks than he does at present. He
said that many people in the com
munity who want the very best
send elsewhere for their chicks. Mr.
Massey now pays an average of
eight cents a dozen above the local
market price and did not get eggs
sufficient to operate in the first of
the season. It is hoped that a
great many people will see Mr.
Massey, wl o is 1< oki ig after secur
ing better flocks, and arrange to
have their flocks culled and blood
tested this year. Mr. Parrish said
that by blood testing and culling
one’s flocks couhl be made more
profitable to the extent of more
than paying the cost of having }»
specialist down from State College
to do this work.
| Movies Looking
Over This State
A representative of some of the
i large l ' moving picture producers
spent last week in North Caroli
na scouting out a possible location
for studios. California tax rates
; are about to run them out of Lo«
| Angeles and Hollywood, he said.
Mr. Pelton stated while here that
there was too much rainy weather
around Raleigh and further east.
If the studios come to this state
thev will probably locate in the
Sandhills or the Piedmont. Sev
eral years ago there was consid
erable talk of one of the big stu
dios coming to Southern Pines.
Holding Starts on
25th Auditing Year
Henry G. Holdipg first and only
auditor of Wake county. Monday
entered upon his 13th term. Ap
pointed by the legislature when
the office was created in 1911, Mr.
Holding has been regularly elected
by the people each two years. Dur
ing all of that time there has been
no question raised about the integ
rity of purpose and character of
the efficienmy of the auditor’s
work. Differences of opinion as to
policy in tax matters have arisen
but in the most of these cases time
ha- proven the auditor to be right.
Schedule Changed
A change has been made in the
schedule of the rail-motor bus on
the Norfolk-Southern. It now
reaches Raleigh at 10:46 a. m. and
leaves there at 3:35 p. m.
This will be of interest to shop
pers, since it allows nearly five
hours in the city.
