N 0.35 JERSEY OWNERS FEASTTOGETHER They Will Gather for a Supper Here on Thursday Evening, • November 15 TO SWAP INFORMATION ————— » - Owners of Jersey cattle, in Chapel Hill and the surround ing country, are going to get together for a supper in the basement dining room of the Chapel Hill school Thursday evening, November 15, at six o’clock. Their idea is to exchange in formation about what they have accomplished with their tine breed of cows, and to lay plans for spreading throughout . Or ange county a knowledge of the wisdom of raising blooded cat tle instead Os the inferior kind. There will be visiting speakers, experts on cattle-breeding. One of the men expected to be there is F. W. Winn, of Oaks, the owner of Dot, the champion cow of the county. In one month recently she produced 62 pounds of butter; in that month her output of cream, sold sour to the Burlington cream ery, brought $18.72 and her skim-milk $10.86, a total of $29.58. This was $19.63 above the cost of pasturage and all the grain she consumed. Mi Wi.in has kept careful records of Dot's performance for a long tme, and, having had plenty of experience with ordi nary cows, too, he is prepared to prove that Jerseys bring in the best profits to the fayner. In the last year or so there has been a marked advance in the quality of the cattle here-' abouts. The Bank of Chapel Hill has encouraged the move ment by offering to lend money to farmers to buy blooded stock. Floyd Gooch, now a freshman in the University, got a loan from the bank last winter, made enough money to pay it off in about six months, and now is reaping a steady profit from his cow. At the supper next month the Jersey owners will swap sugges tions about methods of feeding, housing, and milking, and about the keeping of records. Here are those who are ex pected to be at the gathering: Mayor Roberson J. D. Webb F. W. Winn ' F. W. Winn, Jr. Alex Melver Charles Stanford Felin Strowd Wade Atwater Jack Cheek Franklin Crabtree Ernest Whitield Jeter Lloyd Brady Lloyd Madison Womble Goodman Neville Clyde Hogan. M. C. Blackwood L. C.

The Chapel Hill Weekly LOUIS GRAVES Editor Chapel Hill Chaff When deorge Pickard and I were rolling back from Rai°igh the other day over the hard surface road he said: “When I used to live on a farm near Udebane forty years ago we car ried all our produce by wagon to Raleigh, and it took us two days to make the trip. We camped out in the woods on tiie way and cooked our own food. In Raleigh we’d camp for an other night or two in some field on the edge of the city. Alto gether, marketing our stuff would make us be away from home five or six days. Now, on this road, going from Mebane to Raleigh takes about two hours.” r** * - \ In my college days, around 1900, it was Mr. Pickard who was depended upon to transport the students back and forth be tween Chapel Hill and Durham. He had several teams and a col lection of hacks And buggies. The creeks now spanned by con crete bridges had to be forded, we were lucky to get through at all. The wheels were often ax!e-deep in mud. A paved road was just as unbelievable then as an airplane. We took the mud and roughness as a matter of course and thought little of it. • * » Tank Hunter was another liveryman of that period. And now behold him an automobile sales agent, whizzing up and down the main street in a shin ning car the which he is ready to demonstrate to you ns the oflly car fit to drive. I remem ber how he used to stroke lov ingly the neck of a chestnut three-year-old and assure you that the steed could go on the race track and show its heels to any animal in America. He’s the same old persuasive Tank— he has just transferred his pride from horseflesh to machinery. • * » Automobile tourists from the 1 North to the far South are a familiar sight in town these days. You see some New Eng land State’s license plate, and a little later, perhaps the name of Michigan or Wisconsin or Ohio. Trunks, suit-cases, rugs, and all manner of miscellaneous packages are plied inside and strapped outside. The strang ers enter from Durham, stop sometimes for gas or oil, and pass on in the direction of Pitts boro and Pinehurat. To them this is morely one of hundreds of small towns along the route, and they hasten on their way. I doubt if most of them even know the name of the place. • ♦ • The automobile-riding tramp is becoming a familiar figure too. Last Friday I picked up one this side of Durham. He was dressed in good clothes and said quite frankly that he had enough money to pay his way but preferred to save by get ting free rides. He had come all the way from New York in other folks’ cars, and boasted that he had found this method of travel easy. He was a shameless rascal, I thought, and my talk with him made me de cide not to be so willing in the future to stop and take on per sons unknown to me. It is a pity that these deadbeats have arisen to discourage the im pulse to give foot-farers a,lift. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25,1923 Tp Work.

The member of Congress who recently compllained at the ex cess of French on the menus of i government-operated trana-At- j lantic liners would not have had a fault to find with Monday! night’s list. There was not a French name in sight except the two words “a la” following “chicken” and preceding “Mary-! land,” but the food suffered no 1 whit from being described in 1 plain English. An oyster cock-1 ta\ ! led off and coffee with’ cigars and cigarettes came at the end; and in between were chicken, asparagus, green peas, celery hearts, pickles, fruit sal ad in baskets cut out of oranges, pineapple shortcake, Roquefort cheese, and saltines. The finish of the room excited admiration, particularly the pink-shaded lights and the dec orative frieze forming the up most panel of the wall-paper. There was a new outfit of silver and table-linen, each piece bear ing the name or initial of the restaurant. Mayo Roberson was toast master, and short stalks were made by William M. Fetzer, ltobert A. Fetzer, Sampson Mer ritt, G- Y. Ragsdale, and Augus tuß Bradley. The School Library At the last meeting of the Parent Teachers’ Association plans were made to improve the library of the Chapel Hill s -hool. Already the infant class of the Chapel of the Cross has given $2.50, and several people have sent current magazines. It is hoped that many similar con tributions will be made. Funds are needed most of all, but ref erence books or bookß of fic tion which are in good condition will be welcome. Miss Green, the librarian, will be glad to fur nish further information con cerning the Library or its needs.

About a mile up the road, from a negro, he stole a one horse wagon and some harness. Then he put out for a cot ton gin, from which he stole a bale of cotton.

The way in which it sli>|h:« gently off into the drains on each side reflects the true artist in walk-biiilding. SLSO* Y«r tn Advma. 5* . Cc,y CAMPUS PHOTOS FROMAIRPLANE University Plans to Have Them Taken by an Expert At the Game A - FOR THE MAN The University is planning to have an expert airplane photog rapher make a number of views of the campus and buildings. Mrs. Bayard Wootten is one of the prime movers in the scheme. She has been here tak ing photographs of her own, and the other day she suggest ed to the authorities that they ■ought to have pictures that would show the new University in all its bigness. They approve the idea and are looking about for a man who will do the work well. • ' T i > Old man Economy is always stalking in the background here abouts; frightening high and low with his frowning, grisly visage, but this present plan has so many obvious merits that he will hardly be allowed to thwart it. Not only are there thousands of alumni and other friends of the institution who will want to see the University laid out before them all at once, instead of bit by bit, but building committees and others who have to do with the de velopment of the place will find airplane views helpful. No mat ter how familiar they are with the campus, and the sections of forest soon to be embiaeed within the campus, they can function more efficiently when they meet for consultations, if they can have the whole terri tory spread on the table before their eyes. Moreover, they can explain matters with far great er clearness to the hard-heart ed legislative committees and budget commissions whom they have to face periodically when appropriations are needed. As soon as the photographs are made they will doubtless be laid before the public in the Alumni Review and the newspa pers. Dormitory Telephones The University has hail a tele phone installed in each of the dor mitories (except in Old East, where one will be installed after Christ mas). For each phone two self-help students'haviTbcen appointed “phone monitors." It is their duty to an swer calls and deliver messages dur ing duty hours and at other times when they happen to be present. A toll of five rents has been placed on all outgoing culls, so as to keep the phoqcs free from unnecessary use and to help defray the cost of op eration. The hours when the moni tors are required to be on duty Ore as follows: 10 a. m. to .1 p. m., 2to 8:80 p. m., and 7:80 to IQ p. in. Geo. I'ickard Guided Texan Judge Batts, formerly of Texas, now of Pittsburg, dropped into town till' other day and fell in with George Pickard. "I knew Mr. Roys ter in Austin," he said, “He used to tell me about Chapel Hill and I have been wanting to see it. Will you show me around?” Mr. Pick ard said lie would. He acted us guide to the Texan, who is a man of great wealth, over tlu: campus ami tlu: village. As they were going along Columbia street tiie stranger’s eye lit upon a spread out, white col tunned house. "Now there’s the house I’d like to live in if I wanted a real home," lie said. Judge Batts didn’t know that this Was his guide’? house, and when he found it out he showered congratulations upon Mr. I'ickard.
