MERCHANTS
CONGRATULATED
We have heard only words of com
for the merchants who
put cm Dollar Day last Thurs
day. It was a decided success, and
tiiuj one seemed anxious to take ad
vantage of the bargains on that day.
It was an opportune time tor every
?oe to get' full value for their dol
?hii i i ii|ii i I ? 1 l i In i iiii 11 i ii nut
ae plentiful in this section as in times
past. It was conclusive evidence that
the merchants of Roxboro ever have
"tl*> Interests of those who trade In
tills section at heart, for It, Is a fact
that none of the merchants made any
profit on the goods sold on that par
ticular day. It was proof positive that
you can dO just as well in inAKing
your purchases here, and there is no
occasion for any one to run off to
some neighboring town or city for
their wants. '? . ? ' < ?'
Of course, the grass on the other
side of -the fence always looks green
cat, but really if those who reside in
tra^png distance of Roiilforo would
only keep posted they would know
nothing is saved by spending youd
money away from home, especially
when it is a fact that on many well
advertised lines they are regularly
sold for less in Roxboro than in some
of hats which is as well known as
II. .1 n.m h..y
ly advertised lines cheaper in Rox
boro than elsewhere. There is a TfiuT
or hats which is a swell known as
any cigarette, and the merchants in i
Roxboro handling this line always
sells them at one dollar less than the
advertised price; again, there is aj
liae of suits which is possibly the lar
cest selling line in the country, and
we know that these suits are sold in
"'Roxboro from five to seven dollars
less than you can buy the Identical i
suit in the larger city.
Again, take for instance groceries.
If you will notice the prices adver
tised In the cities you will find that
the same goods are being sold for
le*s money in Roxboro. Yes. it pays
to trade in Roxboro. and if you will
post yourself you will find that we
are not kidding you, but. giving
straight facts. Not only on special
day?, but every day in the year. Rox
boro Is your best market.
LIKE PATS CAT FISH
The opportionment this County was
.supposed to receive from the one
supposed to received froih the one
onit gasAline tax has, Jlke Pat's cat
fish. swunk. It was given out that the
{receipts form this source would be
Aetter than twenty-three thousand
dollars, but the County Accountant
has been notified that the first quar
ter it amounted to only sixteen hun
dred dollars. Now what our County
Commissioners are wanting to know
Is. what has become of ? the remain
der at this fund. When the Commtas
laoers and the County Accountant
met and prepared the tentative bud
net they deducted the amount which
had been given aa Person County's
fart from the road tax bonds and
KUMested a levy In keeping therewith.;
tat 11 the county Is to rseelve only a
.fourth at the expected amount, "you
em readily see where they will be st
the end of the year. With an expect
ancy at twenty-three thousand dol
lars. and actual receipt of only about
six thousand dollars, there will be a
deficit of seventeen thousand dollar*
In the Interest and sinking fund of
the road tax bonds. *
So. there Is another matter which
wtll require the best attention of the
County Commissioners, and Instead j
of redurlng the tax rate five cents tt
would appear on Its face that there
crown." but that Jm nothing compared

New Cheese Plant
For Ashe County]
Raleigh. ? When dairy specialist
Farnham and County Agent Turner
cleaned out an old garage in West
Jefferson last summer and invited
farmers to bring in their milk to be
made into cheese, some folks thought
the two young men were suffering
from a mild from of brain-storm.
"But." protested the two misguided
men "The Kraft Cheese company say ^
they will take over the plant when |
we can guarantee 6,000 pounds of
milk a day." ' .. i
"Sorry, boys, but there isn't that
much milk in all this section." said
some of the knowing ones.
Mr. Farnham and Mr. Turner had
a meetine of seme leading- fanners
who constituted themselves a commit
tee in charge and after suitable pre
parations were made, the Improvised
cheese factory began operation. On
the opening dav. only 11UU puuuils ul
milk were received but in less than a
month, the guarantee of /8.000 pounds
a day had been passed and the Kraft
company had taken over the plant.
Increased production lias made it
necessary to move into more commod
ious quarters once and last week it
was announced that the factor-.' wis
Teceiving over ua.ouo pounds oi milk
each day. Last week it was also an
nounced that the' Kraft company
woulji also build a factory valued at
?100.000 to manufacture cheese and
condense milk and whey. Tyo units
will be constructed. One to handle
cheese and powdered whey and the
other to handle sweet cream and
powdered skimmilk.
The farmers of that section are
seeding pastures and buyifig dairy
cows. They now have an assured
? mnrlmt for ill the ir.nv they can pro
duce and sub-stations for collecting
additional milk will be added in out
lying sections.
Thus through faithful efforts, the
dairy industry of North Carolina gets
another substantial boost. And this
is only the beginning.
Wild Reed Pastures
Fatten Beef Cattle
Raleieh?Teste made with beef cat
tle in the black lands of eastefh Caro
lina show that these areas may be
used for the growing- of bejef cattle
and that the wild reed pastares -,of
the section are efficient in maintain
inr the animal1;
" We b->'-an til'" beer~ssttle work at
the Blackhead Branch Station farm
three years ago," says Earl Hostetler.
pnimal husbandman at State College.
"There are several thousand acres of
land near this farm covered with a
dense growth of reeds which when
dry cause a serious fire menace in
Ftead of returning an Income. We
purchased 32 head of native cows for
the work and last year divided them
into two groups. One group was bred
to a native sire and the other to a
pure bred Hereford bull. Each group
was then placed, on a comparable
reed growth from June 8. 1928 until
January 1, 1929."'
In this period the cows made av
erage gains Of 18.3 pounds each.
Twenty-seven calves were dropped and
kept on the growth with their mothers
until December 3. 1928. when the
calves were placed in feed lots. In
other words, says Mr. Hostetler. the
cows not only maintained their weight
oh these pastures but (lso provided
for their calves.
Mr. Hostetleij then tested the valves
and found that the grades secured by
breeding from the pure bred bull
made better gains on less feed than
did the scrub?. When sold on ? the
Richmond market recently, the native
calves brought 111.7 9 a hundred
pounds apd (he grades, brought $12,S0
though both group* had been given
the same feed. The grade calves also
averaged 97 pounds heavier than the
scrubs. i
As a result of this test, Mr. Hostet
ler concludes that the reed pastures
may be profitably used in beef cattle
growing and that pure bred bulls may
be used to advantage in breeding with
the native cows of the section.
"Spark Plug" 1*
Still Going Good
, San Antonio, Texas?A Chevrolet
with a chassis buflt in 1911, a full
year before the World War began,
and a motor that was assembled when
our doughboys were encamping back
M 1917. Is still in daily use at Oollad.
Texas.
It is caleld "Spark Plug" by Its
proud owner. Hugo Wilks. and of the
millions of Chevrolet* in use today
on both hemispheres it Is perhaps
the oldeat.
True, the .1929 Chevrolet with its
smooth six cylinder nwVii can out

can do plenty of climbing. speeding
and hauling on Its own acocunt and
Is beyond question an outstanding ex
ample o! a long-lived and dependable
. automobile.
On sevei?l occasions Wllks has
hitched a trail* to "Spark Plug" aifl
pulled a load of 2.000 pounds, plus
the 81S pounds which the . trailer
-weigh*, all the way to San An|onio.
135 miles distant.
Not be piled it high with
a 1515 pounds load oI cotton bales and
drove it through a dry creek bed?a
road which no other driver in the sec
tion would dare traverse In a mod
ern car. Many times he has driven
It with water up to the floor boards.
No hill In the section is too tough
for "Spark Plug", and Wilis says that
It Is sufficiently economical, contin
uing to give as good as 30 miles to
the gallon.
One objection, however, is lodged
against It by Wllks and this Is a
friendly one. It is his 00mpaint
against the crowd which his car In
variably attracts, when he drives It
Into Saji Antonio.
1 "Spark Plug" had many owners?
eight to be exact?before Wllks pur
chased It from the .Voght Chevrolet
Company of Schulenberg. Texas, nine
years ago. For four years he got
splendid Fervice from the 1913 motor
"which ir.Si.Tir yet ~5?' < ncaM-d beneath '
the 1913 hood but for an accident
which occurred Ave years ago.
At that time a 1917 Chevrolet own
ed by one of Wilks' brothers caught
fire and its chassis was destroyed.!
' The motor was unharmed So it was
decided to give "Spark Plug's" orei-!
nal motor a well deserved rest and
substitute the newer one.
"Spark Plug's" total mileage is in
determinable. Since Wilks . has had
it Ihm. tneyrtnmpters have been in
use. One registered 75.000,000 mills,
the second 60.000 and the present one
has run up 15.000
.The total repair bill during Wilks'
nine years ownership has been $150.
In this connection, however it "might
be stated that Wilks does all his own
repairing. Recently 15 new rings
i&'i-rv?placed ivi '-he?ear?a?i other
minor adjustments made.
All cf the Wilkses are merhanicaliy
inclined and all prefer the Chevrolet
The father of "Spark Plus's" owner
has had four Chevrolets. One of the
brothers is still driving a 1917 model
'and another broUier has a 1924 model.
