{ Word has just come to us, as
we go to press, that the famous
trans - Atlantic flyer, Clarence
Chamberlin, ig scheduled for a
visit to Pinehurst on Thursday,
February 16th., and that he will
speak at the Pinehurst Theatre
on that night.

the plans for putting the lots on the

hardly expected that much could be
done before the opening of the New
Year, and the management debated
some over whether 25 lots could be
sold during the winter and spring.
Some of the wise observers were dis
posed to ridicule such a high fig^ure.
One or two bold spirits predicted that
25 would be reached and passed, and
one crazy optimist, in his fool way,
wrote 50 on a scratch pad and laid it
before the debating society.
But when Donald J. Ross bought
lots Nos. 465 and 466 last week he
brought the figure up to 24, and by the
most anybody’s back yand and this
too, will prove a very interesting
sight to Sandhillers.

a big crowd of admiring friends.
While the day was cloudy in the
morning the sun came out before
noon, and during the remainder of
the day magnificent sky and perfect
ground under foot put the players
and visitors in a good humor and kept
them there.
While the tournament was planned
for the delectation of the golf group
of Sandhills society, it was closely fol

Akron, Ohio, broke the 6 furlong
track record by 2-4 of a second, a
record that had stood since 1926. and
the 7 furlong record was within one

speed and all of them close, with hair

Outlook for Poultry In the Coun
try at This Time Is Very
Promising
Poultry Is Ready Cash.
The outlook for poultry in the coun
ty at this time is very promising.
Professor Hutcheson already has his
incubator in operation and the Jack
son Springs farmers have just fin
ished putting in a 12,000 capacity
machine which will be ready for ope
ration at once. With these facilities
at hand there is no reason why we
should not produce a large quantity
of high grade poultry in the county.
The demand for poultry has been
steadily increasing and seems to be
the one crop in which we are not
likely to have an over-production at
any early date. In fact the poultry
and egg crop of the United States is
one of our big harvests. The farm
does not seem right unless there is
heard on it the crowing of the rooster
and the cackle of the busy hen. The
average for a farm flock has been set
at 100 hens as an economical mint,
but it should always be large enough
to consume waste from the barn and
the granary. In return the flock
should return a good supply of eggs
and fowls for the table and some sur
plus to sell.
Conditions touching farm poultry
have changed wonderfully. Market
ing conditions have improved greatly,
and so have demands. This applies to
quality products. Eggs and poultry
exchanged for more “store goods’*
