7. I it. ' - I - mm The beef cattle situation apparent ly facing the beef producers of Western North Carolina is more se rious than it has been for several years. It seems that weather con ditions and shortage of feed in many sections, where our cattle have moved each year, will not permit the feeders to buy and finish our stuff this year. It is reported that some of them are selling now because the pastures are dry and they can not feed. All of this indicates that we must look for some othoV market for our cattle this fall. We must find some sections where the production of feed has been good and the producers can finish the cattle for market. . A survey made of Eastern North Carolina shows that they have a considerable increase of available feed in that section so an effort is being made to bring these1 producers and the beef cattle producers of this, coun ty and other counties together. To do this we need certain information such as the approximate number, grade, weights, and quality of cattle for sale from this county. Our only method of getting this is through a meeting which will be held Thursday, August 14 at 2 o'clock in the court house. Mr. C. G. Filler, livestock market ing specialist, with the state depart ment of markets will be with us. He has been making a survey of the conditions facing both the - beef pro ducers and feeders and can present the situation to us in detail. He has just returned from a trip through Virginia, Kentucky, and the eastern part of the state where he has been visiting the feeders and I am sure he .jan give us some help and informa tion. . I am asking that each beef cattle man be present at the meeting so we can get a line on what will be for sale this fall. ; F. S.

They are going to put on two more shifts sorne time in August, it is understood. The railroad is now completed to the mouth of White Oak creek.

Mr. Bud Lee of Camp Branch has moved to the Poplar Cove near Beechers, la An-TIIiz- Ccz::Jj Doug and Mary together. Picture fans have been waiting for this for years! And, npw . they can , be' both seen and " heard ' together. ' ' ThV two outstanding figures in the film world, each a great attraction, have now joined forces to give theatre-goers a measure of entertainment full to the brim and overflowing. Next week all roads, will lead to the Macon theatre. The- first joint appearance of these great stars will be in a glorious all talking frolic of love and laughter: Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew." This is not only the lightest and frothiest of Shakespearean works, but is the story on which all the modern tales of cave men are based. Directed and adapted by Sam Tay lor, ' the picture1 has been superbly mounted and costumed. Doug plays the part of a young man who sets out to win a girl famous for a temper so wild and stormy that no man. dares to come near her. Mary , has the role of the beautiful Katherine who is not afraid of any man and matches her wits and good right arm against any one who dares try to woo her. The whole story revolves around the attempts of Doug to win the girl who will not be won by any method ever tried. He filially finds a way but not until the, audience is carried through a series of the most laughable situa tions. Written as a farce and always play ed as1 ' such on the Shakespearean stage, "Taming of the Shrew" is one of the broadest of comedies and prom ises a laugh fest for Franklin movie-, fans. Miss Pickford and Mr. Fairbanks are supported by a notable cast that includes Edwin Maxwell, Geoffrey Wardwell, Joseph Cawthorne, Clyde Cooke and Dorothy Jordan. The engagement at" the Macon theatre begins Wednesday and since it will only- remain two days, it is not likely that everybody in .Franklin will be able to see the most impor tant motion picture of this or any previous season, and it has been sug gested by the management .of the Macon theatre that everyone who can do so, attend the early shows. Among the party who motored over to. Kyle last week-end to attend the big dance, were Mr. and Mrs. Howard Bateman and Mr, and ..Mrs. Frank Lefler. ' ." ": ' " .' ..V. " '.: ' Mr. and Mrs. J. ' A.

In co-operation with bulb growers the United States De partment of Agriculture has been try ing to establish the chincherichee in this country, and these efforts seem to be meeting with success, according to Dr. David Griffiths, bulb specialist of the department. ' Propagation ' of the plant in the United States has been from imported seed, largely, although seed is now being produced in greenhouses in the East and in the open in California. The plants are easily forced in the greenhouse, says Doctor Griffiths, but require a rather long period to come into flower. When potted in Novem ber they will, come into flower for Easter. Plants' grown at the Arling ton experimental farm in Virginia this spring began blossoming the middle of March and continued until the middle of May. The wonderful keeping quality. ,cf the blossoms has few parallels, says Doctor Griffiths. Cut flowers ship ped from South Africa to London keep in god condition for two weeks afterward. One instance is known of a reshipment from London to the United States, and then the stock was propagated from the bulblets pro duced. ' . The flowers are white, and usually about three-fourths of an inch in dianieter. They are borne on spikes from 3 to 8 inches in length. Flower ing begins , at the bottom of the spikes. Although the chincherichee is a member of the lily family, it does not bear close resemblance to any of our common flowers.

'day of '; babies in'' the wood, Held, and 'swamp". Everywhere in nature the wild babies are coming into life and toddling about on wobbly legs, learning to fend for themselves under the tutelage of anxious moth ers and, in many cases, fathers too; for the male of the species is as potectivc as the female in a number of cases. The male bob white quail and the gentleman black bass, for instance, make better "mothers" than the mothers themselves, many natural ists agree. "Old Mother Nature herself is aid ed and abetted now by man because of conditions obtaining. She has been fighting with her back to the wall against the encroaching conditions of civilization. Man that made those conditions is coming to her rescue with conservation and restoration measures," according to Carlos Avery, "president ' of the American Game Protective' association, an organization of sportsmen, ministers, doctors, law yers, farmers, educators, scientists and other nature lovers. "Those who love babies and who doesn't?" said Mr. Avery, "can see many of these wild babies at nearby game farms. Nearly every state con servation department has one or more such farms. And there are hundreds of private farms. Many sportsmen's clubs and private individuals are rearing game for liberation to help Mother Nature, so, in all likelihood, there are some wild life babies near every town and city." , In the Wayah State Game preserve, 10 miles from Franklin in the Nanta hala National forest, Warden Jess Slagle has in charge a Jarge number of young deer, Mexican quail, and other game animals and birds. Ad ditional wild babies are being added from time to time. The overflow from the preserve will in a few years furnish sportsmen with hunting' in season. Visitors are welcome at the preserve. ' Many people, prompted by sym pathy," stated Mr. Avery often pick up fawns and carry them out of the wood, thinking the little fellows have been' abandoned. In all likelihood the away by that dreaded . creature, man. Fear and instinct keep her hidden. "Other mothers, however, are not so timid. The average bird will feign a broken wing and lame leg and flutter along in front of the dreaded man to lead him away from her hid den babies.: 'Please--' folIowheV and get out of the anxious zone. After you have she will suddenly take wing and fly away, and by circuitous route, return to her hidden brood.

C. fire will destroy uncounted nurulers of "tabes in the wood" within a few minutes, to say nothing ot many par ent birds too. It is an act of mercy to bp careful of- "all fire, particularly at this time of the year when this is the day of the babes in the wood, field and swamp," he concluded. SHIPS SPEED TO RESCUE FOREIGNERS (Continued from page one) Still others, it was feared, had fallen into the hands of marauders. Along the Yangtse between Kiu" kiang and Hankow, the Communists for 24 hours have been looting and burning villages, apparently socking to terrorize country folk into joining '. them. ' .-mHC '".tCa4 ' Kiukiang advices said fears were' growing that the city was doomed to , a Red attack as 10,000 Communists were reported advancing from the west. Additional foreigners departed from Kiukiang for safe areas. Little Victor Rogers Catway, so happy and gay, r Entertained at his home Monday; It was his fourth "birthday." The cake and the candles all yellow and white, . And the smiles of father and mother, Helped to make the day bright. The playmates who were invited To help make the day, Were very much delighted with such a birthday, For they were served and re-served Until they thought they would die " With fruits, cakes, and candies and all kinds of pie. .''.'.. .,.
