I lk 2WA THE IOTLA HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Lcota McCracken........Editor-in-fchief Eva Smith.. Assistant Editor Books and People. In comparing books and people we find them very much alike. They may be divided into two classes. The first class includes good books and good, people. The other . includes bad books and bad people. Good books are books that culti vate the mind by their use of good English, new ideas, good form, and by their moral influence.. By read ing good books people become better acquainted with the use of good Eng lish and in talking they will remem ber to speak it! Good English and good form are essentials in writing themes. The new ideas people get from books broadens their experi ence. They may place themselves in the place of character they are read ing of. Much moral influence is received from good books. Every good book teaches some lesson that will 'be helpful sometime in life. We arc influenced in the same way by the good jooks we read. .. Good people are those who posses good morals. Those that are not con tent as they are but are working all the time to become better in every thing. When people form a habit of read ing good books, other books do not interest them. Also.: when people form a habit of associating with good do not enjoy themselves while in their company. -E-reryone shonld-de-sire to associatae with good people and read good books. Other people may say they enjoy life as well, they may, but not in the same way those do that associate with good people and read good books. By associat ing with good people and reading good books pleasure and enjoyment may be added to' life." Now we -may take bad books, and, bad people. Bad books are books that are poorly written, contain no new ideas, no 'moral influence, and are written in poor form. These books may interest the ones that haye learned to devote their time to them, but they receive no benefit from them. Anyone who reads good . books can distinguish the good ones frfcm these. Some people may think they: are cheap, they are, and do .the reader more harm than good on ac count of the cheap material contain ed in them. It is better to read one good book than one dozen poor ones. Bad eople are people who possess no good morals, do not use good English, and do 'not 'give their asso ciates new ideas. No one should as sociate with these kind of people, they have no habits worthy of imi tation. Instead of cultivating their associate's' minds they present the cultivation. .t People are judged by their asso ciates as much as anything else! And in the same way they are judged by the books they read. , v Everyone should desire to be able ' to say they read the best books and associate with the best people. E. V. S. '26. Sylva v.

Cleveland County Builds Community Light Lines Raleigh, N. C, Nov. Darkness and dreariness are being removed from the rural homes of Cleveland county through the, building of community light lines. Over IS communities have already put in the lines and four others are interested in the move ment, reports County Agent. R. E Lawrence. "This movement was begun early in 1924," says Mr. LaLwrence. "At that time, we decided at a meeting of our County Board of Agriculture that Cleveland county needed electric lights and power in the. rural homef and planned that we would encour age the movement if crops were good that year. Crops were good and we went to work. A number ot meetings were held to give encouragement tc the movement and as a result of several months of work, there were fifteen communities which put in .the lines that fall and winter. We expect to add four more communities to this inumber this fall and winter and when three more communities are added we will have a main liglit line tjoing into each section cf the coun ty. Then all we will have to do to completely electrify the. county, is to Luild short branch lines from these main lines." Mr. Lawrence states that all of the leading citizens of the county are in terested in the project and that the good farmers have found that it pays to use the surplus crop profits in building a better rural section. Ninety miles of lines were built during the campaign. There are 483 homes lighted by electricity and some of the lines are furnishing power to run machinery. The power is furnished by some of the manufacturing plants in the county and by the local serv ice company. The cost of establishing" the lines, states Mr. Lawrence, was from $9C to $200 per home according to the number of homes receiving the serv ice. Each community formed ; a stock company with each man taking his pro rata share of the expenses. The community companies are oper ated on a non-profit basis and farm ers are using the power to light homes, pump water, churn, separate milk and do the ironing.

C., The power to lay, protection by a good poultry house, and proper feed and care are the four cardinal points to assure winter pro duction of eggs according to Dr. B. F. Kaupp, head of the poultry depart ment at State College and a practical poultry grower of many years expe rience. 1 "The house needs to be clean, well ventilated, with a dry floor and a tight roof", says pr. Kaupp. "If the house is out on a good range so much the better, as the birds can then get some green feed. We have furnished thousands of plans for such houses and any grower may obtain them free of charge. , "The next thing to consider, is the power to lay. The average unselected farm hen will lay but 72 eggs per year. By selecting the best layers from the flocks and the most vigorous cockerels from these hens, the flock can easily be brought up to an aver age of ISO eggs per hen per year. "But no matter how well the breed ing has been done, if the young pul lets are not fed by keeping plenty of m.'tab before them at all tiir.es an. a gcod scratch feed each morning and evening they cannot lay. Winter ; eggs generally come from the pullets grown during the past season, be cause the old hens have molted and then gone through the rest season. The pellets, therefore, must be fed and when feed is doled out, they get only about enough for body needs ' and nne with which to produce eggs." ' Dr. Kaupp states that speed in egg production, depends directly on the amount of the orooer kind of mash the bird takes'in each day. Corn alone ... l- T-- ' ' will not make eggs. ur. jvaupp, rec ommends a grain mixture composed oLcorn! wheat and oats, feeding one Dint, to each 12 hens, in litter, in the morning and the? afternoon.
