Slack (lives Method of Feeding The past September saw the first shipment of hogs from John ; ton county to the northern mar kt Is, but from the present indica tions this was just a starting point for farmers of this county in this line of endeavor.

This method consists of feeding hogs all they will con sume. preferably with a self feed er. and the feeding of a balanced ration of corn supplemented with fish meal or tankage. The method most handy to follow is to have a self feeder filled with shelled corn mil fish meal to which the hogs rave access to all times. If this method is followed the hog will lo his own feeding mixing better han the feeder can do it himself. “Hogs fed according to these in structions will put on about 100 Dounds gain for about every six bushels of corn and about fiO pounds if fish meal that is consumed. Water and Mineral. “In addition to having all the •orn and fish meal they will con sume these hogs should have a supply of fresh water all the time.

Diphtheria Rate Continues High --» { Value of Preventative Ino culations and Anti-Toxin | Administration Explained; Attack Kate Higher In Pre School Age Children By I)K. ( . MASSEY, Health Officer. I j Parents should know by this j time that their children need not j have diphtheria, provided they j have received three weekly innoc | ulations against this disease, which protects, in most instances, for life. Unfortunately, however, the greater part of the county’s child population has not received the protective treatments, and is there fore susceptible to the disease, and cases continue to be reported al most daily. Three weekly innoculations es- 1 tablish protection in the child’s system against the disease. But a period of five months must pass after receiving the third innoeula tion before this protection is es tablished. The innoculations, or j protective treatments, are some times called vaccinations. This is what we give to children from six months to six years of age during j the summer, that it may establish this protection in the child by the | late fall and winter when diphther j ia is highest. For immediate protection on the other hand, when one has been ex-, posed to the disease, not an in noculation with vaccine, but a dose, of anti-toxin is imparative. This! keeps off the disease, but has a protective value of only a few1 weeks. The chief role for anti- j toxin is in treating diphtheria, and I 4t- invaribly saves the patient if j administered early in the disease. I The attack rate for diphtheria is higher among children whose ages} range from two to five years, be-j cause these ages children have! 1 datively little resistance to the! diphtheria germs. These are the ! ages which should receive most ■ attention, and in every croupy sore ' throat the question of diphtheria i should be proved or disproved. Too i much importance cannot be given 1 to an early start, and as previous ly state, diagnosis and treatment if this disease is the business of he family physician. The majori ty of deaths caused by diphtheria are due to the failure of parents .o secure early medical service. Removal of tonsils and adenoids, which are known to be veritable hot beds for diphtheria germs, is me of the best safeguards to be taken against diphtheria, as in such surgical measures the chief place of abode for many diseases musing germs that attack, not only he young, but the old as well, nas been removed. There need be very little, if any. apprehension •bout children who have had ton sils and adenoids removed, partic ularly when the question of diph heria arises. I It might be well to add that he spread of this disease is usual j 'y by droplet spray, as in sneezing nd coughing. It is never amiss to .■uard one’s cough, and parents ind teachers can go far in estab ishing proper habits of this sort n children. By such an establish- j (1 practice, many of these germs vhich are passed about from one i hroat to another, year to year, I n the course of human contacts, would never arrive at their desti- ! nation, namely, the throat o? some! usceptible child.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF MOON VISIBLE ON NOVEMBER 2* Everyone in the United State? will have the opportun ity of seeing the total eclipse of the moon coming November 27—but the spectators will, have to be pretty early. For the moon will enter the earth’s shadow at 2:24 a. m.. eastern standard time. Total eclipse be gins at 3:83 and lasts until 4:29 o’clock, when the moon begins to emerge. At 5:39 a. m. the eclipse will be over. Central times are one hour earlier, mountain times two hours and Pacific times three hours. The* moon will probably not disappear from view although entirely within the shadow for nearly an hour. Considerable sunlight is refracted into the shadow' through the ring of the earth’s atmosphere around the base of the shadow. The moon at that time will be dim and noticeably like the setting sun. Two Music Treats Here This Week Duke University Musical Clubs Here Thursday Eve ning; and Tropical Vaga bonds Here Tonight: Local Hoys On Each Program Two musical treats are schedul 'd for Smithfield this week both of which have a local interest.

Fifty-four men are making the trip this year, according to Henry Host, business manager, and G. E.

Foster Barnes, director of the Glee club, is presenting several i numbers that would give credit to i any college in the country.

I We have a suggestion for your 1 long winter evenings Watch for it Baptist Leaders Of County Meet Representatives /of jJohnston Association In ('Conference At Baptist Church Here Yesterday; Rev. S. L. Mor gan Reads Paper By REV. S. L. MORGAN An important and significant (meeting of Baptist leaders of the Johnston Association was held last Monday at the Baptist church in Smith-field. The meeting was called as a result of a recommendation : adopted at the recent session of ; the Johnston association, that as soon as practicable after the asso ciation a meeting be arranged of pasters, members of the executive | committee and the heads of the ! Sunday school, B. Y. P. U. and W. M. U. departments of the as . sociation, with a view to a clearer understanding and closer coopera | tion among leaders of the several departments, and between them and the pastors and executive com i m it tee. Ten pastors were present, seven members of the executive j committee, the heads of these de partments, except of the Sunday school department, and W number of laymen and women. Two of the three recently elected members of the executive committee were pres nt, G. W. Lee of Willow Springs, and Mrs. J. W. Sandrs of Four Oaks, Dr. I. E. D. Andrews of Clayton, w'as chosen as chairman of the meeting, and Mrs. B. A. Hocutt as secretary. iw\. o. i„. Morgan, cnaarman ot the executive committee, opened the discussion by reading a paper setting: forth some of the unmet needs ^"•ue Johnston association, and dwelling: on the need for more definite and intelligent cooperation of the pastors and leaders of the eral departments of work. Mrs. B. A. Hocutt, president of the W. U. of the association, presented the plans of the W. M. U. for the coming year and how it pro posed to carry them out among the churches. Rev. A. L. Brown, of Four Oaks, president of the sociationa! B. Y. P. U., discussed the program of his department and the need of a closer coopera tion with the W. M. U. depart ment, much of the work of both departments being in the same field, among the young people of the churches. It was pointed out that often the best results might come from a rally arranged jointly by the two departments, when the distinct aims of each department would be discussed and the organ izations formed with mutual un derstanding, so as to avoid need less overlapping of effort and harmful rivalry for members. The executive committee was re quested to send out to all the , churches a questionnaire to dis jcover what churches need help in further organizing the several de I partments of work and to obtain a roll of all needing to be enlisted in the several departments of the The wish was expressed that the executive committee, which rep resents the association between its annual sessions, should use its initiative to the full in stimulat ing the churches on all lines of work, and should investigate all situations where the work seems to lag, or where any situation arises to threaten the harmony or prosperity of a church.
