THE ROANOKE BEACON Published Every Friday in Plymouth, North Carolina C- V. IV .Owner J. F. AUSBON,.Publisher [Valter H Paramore.Associate Editor SI.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE Address all communications to the Roanoke Beacon, Plymouth, N. C. Entered as second-class mail nutter at the Postoffice Plymouth, Nor h Carolina, uuder the act of March 3rd, 1887. FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1929 Judge Small * Charge Citizens of this and every county would have done well had they "taken the time 10 attend -the opening of the January term of Superior Court here Monday morning, and heard the charge that was delivered to the grand jury by Judge Walter Vl. Small, of Elizabeth City, as for about an hour the eminent jurist spoke on topics cleverly arranged under a central theme of "Citizenship. It is very seldon that an orator has such a diversified audience, and it is very seldon that an orator addresses an assembly on such an appropriate subject. Hearing the eminent jurist were the court attaches, the grand jury, the regu lar jury, law breakers, law enforcers and a number of spectators. No judge could have chosen a subject that would have appealed to the better class of citizens, and applied to the criminals as this subject which was called to the attention of the ones attending this session of court. Few men could have delivered an address that would have stirred the emotions of those present as the jurist that expounded the principles of citizenship before this crowd. A more appropriate time, place and manner could hardly have been chosen No speaker could used any better illustrations bearing out the points that have were be'ng stressed by Judge Small Some of the matters that were touched on included that fact that pistols in the home or on the person of any individual were more of a menace than they were a protection Another was an explanation of the reason for the arrest and punishment of a law-braker given that it would protect society, make the community better, and the criminal a better man A third fact brought out in speech had to do with building for the future which was the duty of any citizens and a clari on call to unselfishness in achievements. -m Property Tax Question Much money can be saved the farmers and home owners in Wash ington county if the bill relative to the eight months school term and the luxury tax is passed in the 1929 legislature that is in session in Raleigh Representative John W. Darden will serve Washington county and serve its citizens well if he exerts his influence in favor of the passage of this proposal It is a fact that school children in this county are enjoying this privilege at the present However, this will be to the interest of a number of counties that are not so well off as this one. Then again it will save citizens of this county $20,000 each year in property tax Home Agents Report Miss Pratt Covington, Washington county home demonstration agent, made an excellent report to the County Commissioners at their meeting last Monday Much good work is being done among the women in this county by this worker. Special attention should be drawn to the fact that she has taken particular pains to serve those that needed serving most. In many respects she has won the esteem the women of this section during her short tenure of office. FARM NOTES Tom Tarheel says he knows a few good farmers in nearly every county who do not worry much about farnrrelief. Legume hay provides the best roughage for dairy cattle and such hay is easily produced on the average North Carolina farm. Since good dairy cows arc in demand at high prices, it may pay Tarheel dairymen to grow out the heifer calves from their best cows. Farm machinery that is properly stored under shelter and is well oiled and repaired, will be ready for the rush of work next spring C. A Sheffield, formerly county agent of Davidson County, is now assistant to the director of the extension service at State College. Governor O Max Gardner is making no idle gesture is his avowed efforts to serve the North Carolina farmer. His advisory board is already at work on some of the problems to be solved. Recleaning tobacco seed is one sure method of obtaining better plants from the seed bed. Much disease is el.minated if these seed are treaded with the formaldehyde solution before planting Twenty tons of marketable cabbage from one acre is the record with this crop so far reported for 1928. Well prepared soil, a good variety of cabbage_ -nld balanced fertilization was responsible for the good yijtLi.' A number of excellent bulletins, free for the asking, are available from the extension service of State College to the farmer who would like to read the results of scientific research A card to tlie agricul tural editor will bring those desired. 32 YEARS AGO — IN — WASHINGTON COUNTY Items gathered from issue of The Roanoke Beacon — Published — FRIDAY, JANUARY ,5 1897 Miss Nona Brinkley is on a visit to relatives in Windsor.

C, i Simplicity of cooling systei is a feature of the new Ford —o A COMPLETE water plant is a part of every automobile as it is a part of every mod em city. The purpose of this water plant is to keep the engine cooled to a temperature that will make it efficient in oper ation. If it were not for this, the cylinder walls would be come overheated and the pistons refuse to operate. The cooling system of the new Ford is particularly in teresting because it is so simple and reliable. "VThen the radiator is full of water, the engine of the new Ford will not overheat under the hardest driving. Yet the water is so regulated that it will not impair en gine operation by running too cold in winter. The cooling surface of the Ford radiator is large, with four rows of tubes set in staggered position so that each receives the full bene fit of the incoming air. The fan is of the airplane pro peller type and draws air through the radiator at the The hot water around the cylinder head is drawn to the radiator to be cooled by a centrifugal water pump of new design. The entire cooling system of the new Ford is so simple in design and so carefully made vthat it requires very little attention. The radiator should be kept full, of course, and drained once each month so that sediment will not collect and retard the free passage of water. In cold weather, a reliable anti-freeze solu tion should be added. As owner and manager of this important water plant you should also see that the water pump and fan shaft are properly lubricated and , the packing around the pump shaft kept in adjust ment. Hose connections may also need replacement after long service. For those little adjustments, it pays to call on the Ford dealer. He works under close fac tory supervision and he has rapid rate of 850 cubic leet per minute at 1000 revolutions per min ute of the motor. neen specially trainea ana equipped to do a thorough,competent job at a fair price.
