OWEN^, Attorney, MANUFACTURER INCREASING IT’S PRODUCTION The wide acceptance of the com plete Willys-Overland line of com mercial cars and trucks indicates that the current year will be the largest in the hstory of the com pany’s industrial division. Not alone are the domestic registrations making a decided impression throughout the nation but the ex port demand exceeds that of any previous year. It is an interesting fact that Feb ruary output of the commercial and truck units was increased over the original production schedule set in January. This increase accord ing to executives of the company, was necessitated through demand from the field. The vast manufacturing facilities of Willys-Overland, with plants situated at advantageous parts of the country, make it possible to speed up the production and distri bution of this wide variety of com mercial and truck units. The line i comprises an excellent range, be ginning with the Whippet Four commercial chassis in the lowest priced field. Following these units come the Willys Six light delivery commercial chassis, the Willys Six 1| ton chassis, and the Willys j Knight Model T-103 ton chassis. | The latter is powerd by a six cylin j der Willys-Knight sleeve-valve en gine. Through a nationwide network of body building plants which are under arrangements t o furnish bodies for the Whippet, Willys Six and Willys- Knight commercial car and truck chassis, buyers are assur ed of immediate fulfillment of or ders regardless of the type of body ordered.

EFFORTS BEING MADE TO REPLENTISH QUAIL WASHINGTON COUNTY With the increased number of hunters and their range continually extending because of the assent of automobiles and our splendid roads, it has become impossible in many localities to maintain a supply of upland game, without artificial pro gation. Our Quail are becoming scarce in many sections. The Wood-cock is no where abundant. Sportsmen turn into the Depart over $200,000 annually, through the purchase of Hunting Licenses. It is natural that these Sportsmen want something more than merely an “Armed Walk” through the country in exchange for their dollars. Propagation of the ringnecked pheasant is therefore one of the State’s contribution towards main taining the healthful sport and re creation, and the food value, that is derived from hunting. In distrl buting pneasant eggs throughout the State, the Department is not only supplying a splendid game bird but is actually conserving the fast waning supply of native game birds, by providing a substitute to which many sportsmen are glad to direct their energies. The ringnecked pheasant is ad mirably adopted to large scale stocking of the cover of the State. It prefers open sections, thriving in small thin patches of woods, and finding cover that it likes in the bushes along fences, under hedges, and in the grass and weeds that cover so many waste places in the country. Best of all, it has been demonstrated, after many years of careful experiment, that the phea sant can be produced in very large numbers and a t comparatively small expence. On the other hand, all attempts that have so far been made in extensive propagation of the quail and ruffed grouse by artificial methods have been unsuc cessful. Not only are ringnecked pheasants very prolific, but they are also exceedingly hardy. Severe cold and deep snows have no terrors for them. Furthermore the fact that their food consists largely of insects and seeds of noxious weeds makes them a valuable asset to all farming communities. As in the case of poultry, the number of persons who can rear pheasants b y the thousands is limited when compared with those who are able to raise a small num ber. Therefore, if the pheasant is to be retained permantely as a member of the State’s bird life, the supply must come from a large number of small breeders rather than from wholesale production on a large scale. On this basis, our Game Farm produces several thousand of phea sants’ eggs, whieh are distributed annually to applicants in all parts of the State, in addition to those eggs which are retained for hatch ing at the Game Farm. In cooperat ing with the Department by hatch ing these eggs and liberating the yonng peasants, farmers and sports men are benefiting themselves, by increasing the supply of one of the best game birds that is known in any part of the world. It must be borne in mind that in accepting pheasants’ eggs from the eggs Conservation Department a person makes a moral contract to give every attention to proper care of the shipment placed in his charge The eggs entrusted to him are al ways the property of the State, as are also the pheasants that are raised, and no personal advantage may be derived from them. At the State Game Farm every detail of the care and management of the adult pheasants, with the object of large egg production, has been worked out. It is expected that every applicant for eggs will use the same painstaying care in that part of the work which he has volunteered to do, with the result that the pheasant will be firmly established as an important game and food asset in North Carolina.

I cannot say, and I will not say that he is just away, with a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand he has wandered into a Heavenly Land. II. And left us dreaming how very fair it needs must be, since he lingers there. And we, O’we we w7ho ihe wildest yearn far the old-time step and the glad return. III. Must think of him faring on as dearly love there, as in the love here; for we dream of him still as the same, and say, he is not, dead but just aw7ay, living in the garden with Gods little children. By His Mother, MRS. J. W. GRIMES FOR REPRESENTATIVE By the request of my many friends I have decided to announce my candidancy for Representative of"Washington county, subject to the Democratic Voters. I have never split, or scratched a ticket in my life, and I have always voted the straight democrat ballot. I am in favor of reduction of taxes on real estate as much as forty or fifty per cent. This I think can be done b3r a general sales tax. If I am successful in the Democratic Pimar}7 and in the General Elec tion I will call a meeting of all the voters in each precinct to discuss the problem of reduction of taxes. I shall appreciate the co opera tion and support of the voters of Washington county. Signed: [Adv.] CAPT. C. E. MIZELL. 2-2-2-? FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH Rev.

Cantrell, pastor of the Plymouth Baptist Church for Bob Stubbs, 23 years old son of Mr. and Mrs. Woodson Stubbs of this place who was electricuted Monday morning at about eight o’clock. Young Mr. Stubbs was in the employ of the Pierce Electric Company, installing electric fixtures for the Chicago Mill and Lumber Corporation. According to information gather ed from an eye witness, young Mr. Stubbs and Jessie McNair were wireing a switchboard. On Sunday it seems that workmen had installed a motor and had it wired through the switchboard so that it was not neccessary for the switch to be thrown in order to start the motor. Another wire, running to a hog, was connected through the switchboard but was not in use at that time. A workman was sent down to start the motor, and not knowing that it was not neccessary to turn on the switch, he did *o. This turned 440 volts in the wire running to the hog Both Me'' air and Stubbs had moved the same wire a number of times during the morning and it was thought that it was dead. It is thought that when young Stubbs started to move the wire after it was charged, he grabbed the switchboard which gave him a solid j ground, thereby causing approxima 1 tely 2200 volts to pass through his body. He died practically instant ly. There was only a short burn on his left hand. Bob Stubbs was the third mem ber of the class of 1928 of Plymouth High School to meet death acciden tly. He was olso the last of three pals to die in the past two years, one of which was accidently killed. While in school, Bob took part in all athletics and was one of the most popular members of the stu dent body. He was well liked in the town by both old and young. He leaves to mourn his death a j host of friends; mother and father three brothers and two sisters. CURB MARKET SALES RAPIDLY GROWING Sales to date on Curb Market. $1970.69. Sales last Saturday $170.56. Eggs shipped. Nine Crates. POET AND PEASANT ‘‘I notice that someone has be gun work on the old Third street graveyard,” said the Peasant. “Yes,” replied the Poet. “Joe Jackson has asked that someone help him have the place cleaned off but he received no cooperation so he hired someone himself and be gan work on beautifying at least the part on which he lias loved ones buried.” “If the rest of folks who have loved ones buried there don’t care to come in with Mr. Jackson,” said the Peasant, “it seems to me that now they would feel hurt and go ihead and do the work themselves m their own lots.” “I am sure they will,” said the Poet. “Oh, no they won’t,” said the Peasant. “They are too lazy and dingy and they don’t have any iride in the looks of their town, much less love for those who have ?one before them. Probably they gave their loved ones their boquets before they died. At-least if they didn’t those poor souls will never get any boquets.” “You’ve got a lots of nerve,” said the Poet. “Suppose some of these take offence at what you are saying about them, then what?” “1 don’t care if they do take of fense,’’said the Peasant. “In fact, I rather hope that they do get mad and anyone else who has loved ones buried in some cemetery- and are forgeting them and allowing their places of final abode to become an eye sore to the general public. Then maybe they will clean up a little bit.” “That will be just fine if they react in that manner,” said the Poet, “but suppose they decide to look you up and show you physi vvhat they think of what you have had to say?” “You mean suppose they decide to beat me up, don’t you?” said Peasant. “Well I am ready for it.’
