A Valuable Campaign.
Gastonia Gazette.
The milk campaign recently held in
Cleveland county was successful in
every respect. Valuable publicity was
(rained for the county through the milk
campaign and invaluable good dona
in the education of the school children
on the advantage* of a milk diet. The
Sthr says:
“The dairy industry is growing
rapidly in Cleveland and with tuber
culosis wiped out among our cattle and
an ample supply of milk, the coming
generation of children should be heal
thy and strong. Sickness will always
be among us, but by the proper *afe
ruard of health, it is possible to ro
'Juce doctor bills and suffering. The
milk campaign will have a wonderful
effect.”

VI RTUOLO
THE SUPREME PLAYER PIANO
The home attractive for every age
A PLAYER PIANO on
which any member of the
family can play without effort
and with true musical expression
—that is the Virtuolo. It can be
in your home tomorrow, selected
by you from the many beautiful
models displayed on our floors.
And if you have a silent piano,
we will take that on exchange.
The Virtuolo is the ideal in
strument for the accompaniment
of songs and instrumental pieces.
The tempo lever assures you per
fect unison, no matter how dash
ing the music. Many of the
accompaniments have the song
words written in plain view on
the rolls.
The most artistic player
The Virtuolo brings music for
every age, for every taste, for every
occasion. It plays all player rolls
—the greatest imaginable variety
of classical and popular piano
compositions. Every piece is
rendered in tones that are pure
music. Whoever plays can in
stantly subdue or emphasize any
part of the harmony by the slight
est touch of the expression-levers.
Many superiorities
With this richness of tone, this
responsiveness and this incom
parable ease of playing the
Virtuolo is also of the utmost
strength and simplicity of con
struction-proof against all » _ *
troubles. It is the product of
nearly a century of fine piano
making, one of today's most
marvelous attainments.
Come to our display rooms
and play a Virtuolo yQurself—
play all the models and select
yours.
The Virtuoto player piano comes in these famous makes: Hallct & Davis Piano*
• at S6S5 and $750, Conway Pianos sc $550 and $595, Lexington Piano at $495

THE STAR’S COLUMN
For the
ARMER
—LATE FARM BRIEFS—
■ ■
Painting Posts.
Did you ever pass n farm and see
the owner of the farm dipping posts
in a reddish fluid before planting
them around his pasture for the wire
to be stretched on? Those painted
posts added to the appearance of the
pasture when they were erected, hut
is that why they were painted? No,
every farmer that reads this column
knows that those posts were painted
for preservation. That reddish fluid
added years to the life of the pasture
fence.
There are many such pastures in
Cleveland county. The county would
not bo one of the leading agricultural
counties in the state if there were not
such pastures. Yet many of the farm
ers whofbelieve in adding to the life
and appearance of their pasture
fences have unpainted farm homes,
barns and outbuildings. Why not ap
ply the paint principle of preserva;
tion and appearance to the farm
home and lmrn as well as to the pas
ture fence? The county board of ag
riculture is sponsoring a movement—
the Paint-up Campaign—to answer
this question, and if the amount of
paint being sold by local paint dealers
is to be taken as an omen, there will
be many newly-painted farm homes
and barns in Cleveland county by the
last showers of April. Your neighbor
is painting up. Will your farm "step
out'’ Easter?
Ten years ago this month, Dr. R.
Y. Winter*'--and County Agent Zeno
Moore planned and had planted the
first cotton variety test in Edge
eomhe county. This county now leads
the state in the production of good
seed.
Scratching Family Tree.
Noah might have had a few chicks
on the ark and the Pilgrims on the
Mayflower may have had eggs for
breakfast, and perhaps Plymouth
Rock whs first scratched by pullets
from Old England. Anyway, ‘“Buck”
Archer has a setting of eggs that
has a family tree extending almost
back to the pumpkin and .chicken din
ners of our Pilgrim forefathers. Or
dinarily when an egg is old enough
to have a history it is good for noth
ing except ammunition for those who
like to asasult bum actors, but ‘Buck’
is proud of his eggs. He has a chatt
made by the owner that traces them
back through eight generations of
high producers he ns,that lay* over 300
eggs per calendar. The eggs are Sin
gle comb white Leghorn and bred
from Clover Crest Tancred King by
the owner of the Tancred flock. Doug
las Tancred. of Kent, Wash. “Buck”
has placed the eggs in the custody of
a motherly hen and expects before
many moons to have some ninth gen
eration Tancreds chix promenading in
his poulrty yards and so proud of
I their ancestry they will not etude <
with the other chickens.
Organise Calf Club.
A meeting of Mecklenburg county
boys and girls and their parents
has been called for lQj§Q o’clock Sat
rday morning at the Charlotte cham
ber of commerce for the formation of
the Mecklenburg Jersey Calf elub.
Weekly Farm Market.
"They were packed in like sar
dines," was the way one Mecklenbwgi
county club woman expressed the, .pat*
ronage of Charlotte householders ac
the weekly market last Saturday in
the basement of the court house,
conducted by*the county federation
of home deraonstration'clubs.
Approximately $200 of farm pro
duce wtts sold, the greatest amount
of‘ any week since the market was
opened two months ago. The small
kitchen of the home demonstration
agent was crowded almost all the
four hours the market was in opera
tion, leading the county women to ex
press the desire that steps would soon
be taken for an adequate market
house. 1 ' ■"*« 4
A large display of produce was ar
ranged for the market, practically all
of which was bought.
Of Great Value.
Rutherford Sun.
The “Milk for Health” campaign
which was conducted recently in Clev
eland county proved of great value
and was a success. People are realiz
ing .the food value of milk as never
before. Better milk comes with bet
ter cows. Milk is a good health build
er. Let every home arrange to have
good milk.

QUICK WORK SAVES MR CAR
