MUCH ABOUT NOTHING
Jones Holcomb, it would appear, has taken to the wilds
in a trailer. No doubt you have noticed his new outfit
rushing up and down the street laden with electric refriger
ators and radios.
According to our way of thinking (and this must not
get back to Jones), he could improve his service by equip
ping the trailer with plumbing supplies so that that his men
wouldn't always have to.be going back to the shop for
gotten tools. But they'd no doubt forget the trailer.
Speaking of refrigerators,

dealers in ice and ice refrlgera- j
tors. The ice men will speak of
electric refrigerators in terms of
"dinkuses, gadgets," etc., while the
electric folks speak of the ice re
frigerator as out-moded and old

there's right much of a fight
j of electric refrigerators and
> ' :
attractively styled as its electric
cousin.
Personally, we can't enter this
argument for a number of rea
sons as we frequently are called
upon to prepare advertisements
THE ELHN TRIBUNE, ELK IN, NORTH CAROLINA
for both kinds. But speaking
from the viewpoint of the house
wife, we're Inclined to think the
appearance of the Ice man might
be a decided factor in choosing
between the two.
A news story datelined fratal
Asheville told of the wife who was
engaged in a flirtation with an
other man who frequently gave
her small presents. One day he
turned up with an expensive fur
coat which he asked her to ac
cept. Of course she told him
she couldn't as she couldn't satis
factorily explain it to her hus
band.
Followed a little thinking
then an idea. The man told her
he would pawn the coat for SIO.OO
and give her the ticket. Then
she could tell her husband she
found it, and have him stop by
the pawn shop and see what was
there, and if he thought it
worthwhile, redeem it.
The husband took the pawn
ticket as he went to work next
morning. That night he came
home with an ornamental vase
worth seven or eight dollars, and
told his wife that was what the
ticket Called for.
The following morning the wife
had occasion to visit her hus
band's office. There was his sec
retary, wearing the fur coat. Tsk,
tsk, tsk!
We've heard tell from someone
well in position to know, that
there is no more thankless task
than assessing property for tax
ation.
That ancient, 1903 model Cad
illac that was here during EJkin
Bargain Days, climbed the school
house hill without a stutter, its
one-cylinder motor chugging
along in fine style. However, it
broke down after cresting the hill.
Ignition trouble. An Elkin me
chanic who inspected the motor,
said it was far more complicated
than the modern, high-powered
motors of today for all their
numerous cylinders.
J. F. Darnell, from up Wilkes
way, was in a few minutes ago,
and while here we fell to discuss
in the cost of eating and other
trivial matters. During the course
of the conversation, Mr. Darnell
interrupted us long enough to
say that he doesn't mind the cost
of groceries so much as the ex
pense of feeding stock. It was
then we got a bright idea that
should prove of valuable aid to all
farmers who have similar prob
lems.
Why not devote more acres to
food for stock? We'd suggest put
ting four or five acres (depending
on the size of the farm), in cot
tonseed meal. Then an acre or
two should be sown in sweetfeed.
All farm animals are particular
ly fond of sweetfeed, and once
when as a boy we owned a pony
we used to eat a little of it our
self.
To make harvesting of the crop
easy, farmers should mix six
yards of diced burlap with the
cottonseed meal and sweetfeed
seed to the acre. In that way the
crop would come up already sack
ed in hundred pound bags.
Farmers adopting this idea
might even go further and sow
several acres of fertilizer seed,
adding the diced burlap, and thus
raise their own fertilizer. It's a
wonder to us that some person
hasn't already thought up the
idea.
But can't everyone think up
ideas like this, we reckon, and be
sides that's what the Gab Bag
is for —to be helpful to our read
ers. No doubt we'll go down in
history someday as the man who
did more to help the farmers of
North Carolina than all the lit
erature that ever came out of
State College.
A series of photographs to ap
pear in the next issue of the
Chatham Blanketeer leads us to
the thought that one should nev
er believe all one sees in pictures.
The photos in question show
Gavin Dorch, Dick Chatham,
Mr. Neaves and several other
Chatham officials and depart
ment heads, in poses denoting
manual labor. Several of those
mentioned above show a loaded
wheelbarrow, although we do be
lieve that Dick Chatham was In
a pose of sitting, but nevertheless
dressed as if he had been work
ing. The pictures were made
with the new addition to the mill
as a background.
Now we are not insinuating
that any of those pictured really
hadn't actually been working, but
the photos in question recall an
incident which occurred while we
were working in Greensboro, and
after you read it you can form
your own opinion.
Twas early one spring Just
prior to the opening of the base
ball season that we, accompan
ied by Jake Wade, then sports
. editor of the Greensboro Record,
Journeyed out to the home of
Wes perrell, pitcher of big league
fame. We had a cajpera and
Jake had a pencil, and the next
day the sport pages of The Rec
ord disclosed in pictures how Wes
Perrell, famous pitcher, kept in
condition during the off season.
The pictures showed: (1) Mr.
Perrell in the act of chopping
cord wood; (2) Mr. Farrell be
tween the handles of a plow in a
freshly plowed field; (3) Mr. Per
rell feeding his father's cows.
One look at tne photos and one
would naturally think Mr. Per
rell was quite a help around
home. But—
When we reached the home,
Mr. perrell was languidly strum
ming the strings of a banjo in
the shade of the front porch. He
walked to the barn, at our re
quest, picked up a pitchfork,
walked over to a cow, and posed.
Then he walked to the woodpile.

Then he walked to a nearby field

he was back on the front porch
