ProDosos Law That Requires Inspection Of Cars Twice Year ——— - Inspection Would Not Cost Car Owner Anything; Is Safety Measure A bill to provide for semi-annual inspection of all automobiles in North Carolina was introduced in the "North Carolina General Assembly a few days ago by Tom O’Berry, a repre sentative in the House from Wayne County. Under the bill this inspection would be made at no cost to the car owner but if lie failed to have corrected mechanical faults found needed after the inspection, be would be subject to a fine of $25. The highway de partment would be charged with deignating garages throughout the State where the examinations might, be made. "It is really a highway safety meas ure,’’ said Mr. O’Berry, “and one that I believe would go far toward elimi nating accidents by correcting me chanical defects in cars before they result in wrecks. It is pretty much the same law they have in \ irginia, and a law that has worked to the satisfaction of all.’’ Special yellow front market mustard, Quart jar 15c Size Salad Dressi ng 10c 12ic Pork and Beans, 2 for COCOA, Can 5c TOILET tissue 3 for lQc Large Fancy « g\ Lemons, doz.

FINCH, Home Service Director Virginia Electric And Power Company CAKE FOR SPRING The ideal cakes for the spring sea son. when eggs are plentiful are angel food and golden sponge or gold cook ies. These are perfect partners and should go well with gelatin, sherbet, ice creams, fruits, or a mixed fruit cup. The secret of a sponge cake is found in long baking in slow oven, accur ate measuring—especially sugar—and in beating eggs to hold a peak, but not dry. If they are beaten too dry the cake may lump and crack, which spoils the crust that is one of its glories. Angel Food Cake 1 cup sifteil Hour (preferably cake Hour), 1 cup egg whites, 1-4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cream of tarter, 1 1-4 cups sifteil granulated sugar, 3-4 tea spoon Vanilla, 1-4 teaspoon almond ex tract. Sift flour four more times. Beat egg whites and salt with flat wire whisk, proper roughage in the diet. A good way to feed the meal is to distribute it over the corn, prefer ably at the night feeding, Hostetler pointed out. He suggested that only a small a - mount of meal be given when first starting horses and mules on cotton seed meal. Later, when the animals get used to eating it, the ration may be increased to one or two pounds of meal daily for each 1,000 pounds of live weight. However, he warned, cottonseed meal is not a complete substitute for grain in the diet. It has also been found that when pigs are fed, free choice, a diet of corn and a mixture of equal parts of cottonseed meal, fish meal, and ntin ' oral, they gained 12 percent more rapidly and were 24 percent more | profitable than those fed in the same | manner without the mesh Cottonseed meal is not only a nu j tritious feed for all kinds of livestock, Hostetler added, but it also contains important soil-building elements which furnish excellent plant food when re I turned to the land in the form of manure. -^-— Young Chicks Need Warmth at Nights As a usual thing’ chicks may be re moved from heat when they are fully feathered, that is, if the spring weath er is normal. Where the days are warm, but the nights are exception ally, the heat should be continued un til the nights are normal. To take away all heat would cause considerable: trouble in the flock and weaken its resistance to disease. The owner |must use careful judgment in this mat ter as there is no arbitrary limit to .the removal of heat. -® Woodley - Furlough -<® Creswell.—Miss Elizabeth Furlough and Mr. Ausbon Woodley were quiet ly married Saturday night at the home of Rev.

A number of farmers not in close touch with the market have sold their animals recently for one-half or a third of their value, says L. 1. Case, animal husbandman at State College. Beef prices have risen about 60 per cent and pork prices have approxi mately doubled within the past year, Case said, and the prices paid local farmers should go up accordingly. Although prices paid for livestock at the farm cannot equal those paid at central markets, Case added, grow ers should not sell their meat animals without checking up carefuly to see what they arc worth. The current outlook gives promise of a continuation of the present price level, he stated, and local growers need not dispose of their stock now for fear that prices will tumble in the near future. i lie weekly average ot all steers oil the Chicago market was $7.15 the first week in December and $10.87 the last week in February. Choice grades rose from $9.29 to $13.39 and low, or com mon, grade rose from $3.72 to $4.50. Intermediate grades increased propor tionately. Stocker and feeder prices have risen correspondingly. Early in December the prices ranged from $2.50 to $5.50 for various grades; in January the scale was up to a $5-$9 range. Good slaughter cows advanced from $5.2a to $9.50. The price of lambs has not in creased as much, Case pointed out, but added that it did not go as low as beef and pork during the depres sion. A rise this spring is expected, he continued. -® Creswell Club Meeting -®-■ Creswell.—Mrs. H. R. Davenport entertained the woman’s club meeting at her home Thursday afternoon.

The foremost is Greta Garbo, with whom Gary Cooper has never had an opportunity to work. Yet the Swed ish star has attempted to secure him for her leading man in several of her recent pictures. That he is Hollywood’s most sought after leading man is further attested by Joan Crawford’s repeated attempts to secure bis services. But only once was she able to get Cooper, and that was in “Today We Live.” The lucky girl who is favored with Cooper's attentions in “The Lives of a Bengal Lancer” is Kathleen Burke. In this production, Cooper enacts the part of a captain of one of the world’s most famous cavalry units. He be comes a hero when he dares death to save the Lancers and to keep a soldier father from ever learning about his son’s treason.
