ION TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1925. There is some demand for the curb market again. It has begn de cided to try it for a month and if the business done justifies it, the market will continue. Successful j curb markets have been operated in other towns, and there is no reason why one should not be a success here | For two years it has paid and if ti.e women take the proper interest it will pay again. If the farm wom en wish to sell their surplus produce and if the housekeepers want the freshest vegetables, the curb market offers an opportunity to both. The next month will probably determine whether the curb market will be per. manently established or not. In an article published elsewhere in this issue, a Smithfield citizen points to the fact that Smithfield has some needs, one among which is a Chamber of Commerce. We realized this particular need some time ago when we received a letter of inquiry as to whati Smithfield had to offer as a location for an industry that would employ several hundred girls. A Chamber of Commerce would have been the proper organization to han dle such inquiries and would 1 ave information wanted ready to send out. The caption of an editorial in yesterday’s News & Observer: “Will Small Towns Disappear?” sounds like a note of warning. Unless we get busy anti do something to provide a pay roll for Smifihfield, our town may not actually disappear but we will remain a “small town.” SECTION TWO FEATURES HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES The finals at» the high school here will begin Thursday evening and we are publishing a ’section for this issue featuring the school, special attention being given to the Senior class. This class has added a new feature to the usual activities of graduating classes here by putting out a very credit able high school annual, “The Eagle.” This is the first year the school has ever attempted an enterprise of this kind and the Seniors are to be con gratulated upon the success of their venture. It was quite an undertak ing, involving many hours of extra work and the expenditure of sever al hundred dollars. ine staff of lhe Eagle is com post'd of the following: capable mem bers of the Senior class: Marjorie Johnston, editor-in-chief; Willard Lawrence, associate editor, Nola Gur ley, joke editor; James Hill adver tising: manager; Edna Hildebrand, art editor; Thomas Watson, athletic ed itor; Lawrence Stancil, business man ager; Mattie Lassiter, assistant bus iness manager. Arah Hooks, snap shot editor; Henry Royall, literary editor; Carrie Yotmg, assistant ad vertising manager; and Worth Boy ette, honorary editor. All the work done for the annual is very attract ive, but the art work deserves spec ial mention. This was done by Miss Edna Hildebrand and is one of the most striking features of The Eagle. The grouping of the pictures, the car toons and the decorations for each page are very attractive and show real artistic ability. The printing was done by Edwards & Broughton Printing Company, of Raleigh. All the cuts show up well and the book is bound in a limp leather binding, making quite an attractive little volume The graduating class this year numbers 33. They are to bcjvcongrat ulated upon their work in getting out an annual which will prove a most interesting souvenir of their liijh school days. A Working Governor “Whdn a farmer works from 7 o’ clock in the forenoon until 8 o’clock in the afternoon he feels liks he has done a fairly good day’s work. He has at least exceeded the standard eight-hour limit by six hours over time. Governor McLean, however, is setting a new precedent by working something like sixteen hours a day. Only a small part of his time is de voted to social (or political) enter tainment of his friends and he has an easy way of dismissing social callers and getting back quickly to the work in hand. In his big job of converting the business of North Car olina into a business organization rather than a political organization he has assumed a task which none of his predecessors have ever under taken. As may have been expected, there is local opposition in Raleigh to his program and this opposition is easily understood by those who are acquainted with the local situation. Barring a few politicians and their friends here and there over the State, who are always in favor of multi plying of political jobs, the Gover nor has the cordial, sympathetic and enthusiastic support of the people of North Carolina as no other Governor has had it, and they sympathize with him in his efforts to overcome the handicaps that have come up and will continue to appear to make the task bigger. Along with these handi caps there has appeared in a few papers some propogrfnda based upon glaring inaccuracies and almost whol ly without foundation. The thought ful people of North Carolina under stand well the source and purposes of these erroneous criticisms.”—Meck lenburg Times. Feeding Cotton Seed Meal and Hulls to Horses and Mules. When grass hay or any other roughage low in protein is used and corn is the only grain, then, for a hard-working mule or horse, the ra tion will be made better and cheaper by taking out of the ration from 3 to 4 pounds of corn and putting in its place l bit to 2 pounds of cotton seed meal. This all ought to be plain enough. In no case should more than two pounds of cottonseed meal be fed daily to an avarage sized horse or mule, and in most cases from 1 to 1V» pounds per day will balance the ration, and that is all the cotton seed meal should be fed-—enough to balance the ration, and never over lVs pounds to 2 pounds daily. As to cottonseed hulls, they should never be fed to hard-working horses and mules. These animals, when doing hard work, are entitled to a better roughage. We have seen mules make up a crop on cottonseed hulls, cottonseed meal, and molasees, but that does not* prove that these feeds make a good ration. Idle horses and mules may live on cottonseed hulls without any other j roughage, if they get sufficient con centrates, but at best cottonSeed hulls are a poor roughage for horses and mules, and the farm should produce legume hays for them, for they are better and cheaper. But when good hays are scarce and high priced, or when good le gume hays must be purchased, then three or four pounds of cottonseed hulls may be fed daily and some high-priced hay saved, if grains are cheaper and are fed in slightly lar ger quantities. Cottonseed meal properly used is I excellent feed and a great asset to the South. We should feed .ev^ry pound of it right here in the South, but it is highly concentrated feed and is only required in small quan i tities in any ration. Cottonseed hulls are of low feeding value and can only be used economically in small quantities or to form a small part of the roughage when better roughages are scarce and high pric ed.—Tait Butler, in The Progressive Farmer. CARRIER PIGEONS ATTEND CORBETT-HATCHER FINALS On Friday, May 22, the Corbett Hatcher school ended a very success ful school year with a program that was. enjoyed by all. Before eight o’clock the crowd had begun to make its appearance at the school house, although the pro gram was not. to begin until ten forty-five. As soon as the bell rang the crowd made its way into the au ditorium filled with seats, and stood waiting for the exercises. The pro gram began with Bible reading and prayer, and after a few songs the re citation contest began. Each of the six contestants for the long-hoped for medal rendered her recitation well. Then Dr. Wade Atkinson, a well-known physician of Washington, D. €., who was here for the occasion, announced that he had brought some carrier pigeons with him from Wash ington and that he was going to set them free immediately. Soon every ) one was out of the house looking at the pigeons and at Dr. Atkinson. Some wondered if the' pigeons would really return home to Washington. Soon after a picture had been made of Dr. Atkinson and the five pigeons the birds were released. After cir cling for a few minutes, the wonder pigeons began to pursue a north westerly course, < supposedly for Washington. Every one then quietly returned to his seat and the program was re sumed. We were now hearing the declaimers, whom, had not one been acquainted with them, one would have thought to be lawyers or sen ators. Really, they were only “our boys.” The noon hour was soon reached, and whein Mrs. McLean, of Kenly, had expressed her regret that she did not have a medal for each con testant, and had presented the cher ished medal to Viola Harris, the win ner, Dr. Atkinson, after praising the boys for their good work and tell ing them how much trouble the judges had in deciding the winner, presented the medal to “little Jim mie Batten.” With very little ado the audience dispersed but soon re assembled at the table where a deli cious picnic dinner awaited the hun gry guests. In the afternoon an excellent com mencement? address was delivered by Judge F. H. Brooks, of Smithfield, former judge of Recorder’s Court. Judge Brooks’ talk was concerned mainly with education and character and each person present felt that we had been highly successful in secur ing Judge Brooks as our commence ment orator. Mr. Dickson, principal of the school, then stated to the people present a few of the many things Dr. Atkinson had done for the bene fit of our school, mentioning espe cially his presentation of a Japanese flowering cherry tree, and several valuable maps and,, pictures. Im mediately after that Dr. Atkinson was given a rising vote of thanks. Dr. Atkinson then made a very in teresting talk on “Grasping Oppor tunities.” At the conclusion of his address, Miss Mary E. Wells, assist ant county superintendent, presented the seventh grade and attendance certificates.
