Special music was rendered by Misses Winnie Taylor and Jose phine Chandler Carnes were played in which all of those pres ent participated, and refreshments were served. It was a happy eve ning of jolly good fun. One of the incidents of the eve ning was that Miss Blanche Pinchback's car took occasion to misbehave. Something went wrong with one of the front wheels. Fortunately a friend, who understood cars hapened along, like a good Samaritan, and help ed Miss Blanche out of her trou ble. We understand that the Pip worth League has four depart ments! The. devotional, the so cial service, the recreational, and the missionary. The devotional department holds ds meetings once a week, the relational once a month. The social service and the missionary departments ate co ordinated with the devotional THE BUS LINE A GREAT CONVENIENCE The citizens of Caswell county living on the highway between Danville and Durham are very much pleased that a bus line has been put on between those two cities, with a schedule of two busses a day each way. This added means of transports tion will make for the convenience of the traveling public and great ly, facilitate the transaction of business.

The twelve hundred little chicks were sheltered in a house built especially for them, This house had a partition in the middle of it, making two separate room$ There were about six hundred little Huffy yellow chickens in each room of this house. In each one of the rooms was a coal-burning brooder under which the little birds nestled at night, and ip cool 'weather. ' Mr. Hat) informed us that he feeds the baby chicks four times a day with baby chick scratch food and baby chick mash, which they hke very much. Water for them is placed in numerous containers about on the door, from which they can be seen drinking tre quently. In this water is some times placed certain medicines that are good for them. Mr. Ha!! made the house for the s hickens himsetf. It is tightly en closed a!! around, except on the south Side. The upper half of the southern exposure is open to the sun and weather, except for a wire screen to keep Out the hawks. At night some.heavy bagging or other cloth is hung before this opening to keep out the cold The door of the building is made of boards, and over the boards a shallow sprinkling of earth is spread. From this earth the chickens pick enough particles of sand to meet their needs. The coabburning brooders are rather expensive, costing thirty dollars or more apiece But they are economical in the long run. I'or if the chicks become chilled on some cold night many of them ate likely to die. Coat stoves used by Mr. Hal! and Mr. Lipscomb are self-feeding, and the heat is regulated automatically, This makes them much safer and more satisfactory than the stoves which must be watched and attended to so carefully. The heat doesn't vary much from a certain regu lated degree. On top of the sand which cov ers Ihe floor is placed some litter, (Continued on 8) * CUMC fan CRM ^ tAOHEtt IB BE HELB At H*nd*rxm, Data, March MMt On Friday, March tgth, a clinic for crippled children will be held at Hepderson, N.
