Hattie Slagle, Carolyn and Frances Nolen, and their brother, Horace Nolen, all of Franklin. We wanted to walk. It was just an adventure, a marvelous adven ture! they explained to their much surprised grandmother, who is the widow of the late Captain William P. Moore. It must have been an adventure, wending their way across the preci pitous and lofty mountain ranges of the Nantahalas, that lay between Franklin and Hayesville, with the many thousand trees, rhododendron, azalia, ferns, and all the beautiful flowers that grow along the road side in gorgeous splendor. In the explanation they stated that they did not feel tired, and had spent a good deal of time taking pictures of the wonderful mountain scenery, and had also lost some time by broiling their meat on sticks over a was reater, however, when c ie girls were Elizabeth and camp-fire.

IHE SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX In order to clear up some misun lerstandings in regard to the Spec ial School Tax elections .in Brass :o\yn and Hiawassee Townships, the Allowing explanation is made: • Under the notices calling the elec tions the rate connot exceed forty cents on the one hundred hollars valuation of propery in either town ship, that is to say all existing local tax will be abolished and the forty cents substituted. For example, the old rate in part of Brasstown Town ship is thirty cents on the hundred, and in this case, if the election car ries, the thrity cent rate will be abol ished and the new rate of forty cents will be substituted. Therefore the authorized special tax in Brass town Township would be forty cents and not seventy cents, as some seem to think (see Sections 236 and 238 of the Public School Law.) It ap pears that some seem to think that any amount could be levied, but by referring to Section 236 of the Pub lic School Law it will be found that in no case can Special Tax exceed fifty cents on the one hundred dol lars valuation. But in each of these townships the maximum rate levied shall not exceed forty cents. In other words, the law limits the rate to fifty cents, and the notices calling the election in Brasstown and Hia wassee Townships the maximum rate to be voted on is forty . cents. It, therefore, follows that if the elec tion carries forty cents is all that can be levied as Special Tax under this election. ALLEN J. BELL, County Superintendent. WARNE Mr. W. T.

Easy Way To Preserve Cherries Fill glass jars with sound, clean cherries; cover with syrup made of one pound sugar (beet or cane) and one quart water. Close jars; im merse in boiling water, allowing one inch of water over tops. Sim mer slowly 15 minutes. Remove, let stand 15 minutes, and set in cool place. DO YOUR OMELETS FALL One way to be certain of success with omelets is to add a tiny bit of baking powder to the eggs when whipping them. TONIC FOR ASPARAGUS BEDS Salt strewn generously over as paragus beds will kill the weeds anc serve as a fertiliser. FOUR BOYS GO, FISHING Charlie, Pearl, Andy and Luther loaded up a Ford car with rations, bedding and fishing tackle one day last week and headed for Lake Car rol. s Upon their arrival at the lake the care taker, Mr. Martin, cited them to the log cabin on the hill near by. After a hard drive the car was land ’d on top of the hill near the cabin door. Pearl took the ax, which was bor rowed from Mr. Martin, and set out to prepare firewood for the night. Andy and Luther began to prepare supper—something their wives nev er saw them do. Charlie, the frog man, went down to the lake and tried his luck fishing while supper was cooking. After awhile he re turned with only one fish, but said he would make the bull frogs live hard after supper. So the crowd armed themselves with flashlights and a gig and pro ceeded to make war on the jumping reptiles. Seven large frogs were captured and beheaded. This ended the program for the night. The next morning the bovs were awakened by the sound of Charlie’s rifle, who had decided to celebrate the capturing of so many bull frogs. The frog legs were fried brown for breakfast and were as good as any meat you ever saw. But you must not think about frogs while you 'are eating them. The greater part of the next day was spent fishing. There were, in all, fifteen fish caught. Charlie caught two, Andy caught five, Lu ther caught seven and Pearl caught the remainder, which we promised him not to tell. It must have been an unfavorable time for fishing, but nevertheless, we had all the fish we wanted while there, and lots of fun besides. Conducts State’s Largest Hog Feeding Contest I! u.r.H.II. \. c:.. June 15.—In ail parts of North Carolina for the past - several years, progressive farni i'rs have been conducting ling feed ing demonstrations. usuallv hegili ning with from fixe to fifty animals. T. A. Brooks of Bath in Beaufort County Broke rite record this past spring when he fed out 356 hogs in one demonstration and made a net profit of 82.62 per animal. ‘"This record demonstration was conducted under the direction of County Agent E. P. Welch,” reports W. V. Hays, swine extension spec ialist at State College. “Mr. Brooks weighed his hogs, placed them in a three-acre lot, supplied them with fresh, runnig water from a free flowing artesian well and put enough self-feeders that about one-third of thethe hogs could eat at any one time. In these feeders, he kept a supply of shelled corn, fish meal or tankage and mineral mixtures. The animals were placed on feed on February 4 and fed for 58 days when they were sold on the Rich mond market.” v The pigs made an average daily gain of 1.48 pounds per animal. During the feeding period they con sumed 11,700 pounds of fish meal and tankage, 1,627 bushels of corn and 2,375 pounds of the mineral mixture. This amount of feed pro duced 30,868 pounds of pork or a gain of 100 pounds for evevry 341 pounds of feed eaten. The finish ed weight of the hogs was 81,755 pounds, states Mr. Hays, and when shipped they filled five big cars. The actual net profit from the venture amounted to 5932.01 or $2.62 per hog. But, states Mr. Hays, if the return per day of labor is considered, Mr. Brooks made $16.07 for each day devoted to the work. He sold his com throughathe pigs for $1.37 per bushel when the local market price for the com as grain was between 75 and 80 cents a bushel. Mr. Brooks keeps about 25 brood sown on his farm at all times and expects !to have two carloads of pigs fatten ed for the high market in September.
