Extension News Has Story On Campaign Extension Farm News. The fir-t county-wide campaign put tin in this state in which we w re ebIr to have the preliminary survey made ‘ lir iiu/h all the schools war the milk for-health week held in Cleve land county February 25 to 20. The need of the campaign had been urged for th'' pact venr by th° Kiwnni; club of Shelbv. This need was felt in spite of the fact that Cleveland county has a plentiful milk production, and holds' the record for producing the «no: t butter of ary founty in North Car olina. The survey made was a most mm-! olf-to one due to the efforts of count v and city superintendents and their force of teacher*. These figures! v hen totaled disclosed the fact that the average school child was getting •i-*enth.s of a pint of milk per dr.v. ; What does this measure? A little! »cer one cup! This is rather startling | in comparison with the opart of mill:; a day that scientists and nutrition sneoialirti- agree is necessary if the children get what, is needed for prop er development, Another point noted about the milk drinkers of the copit-; ty whs that the number drinking : him i nulls was twice as great as the runn ier drinking whole milk. The workers reached the children l»v telling of the five little furies who live-in the milk, namely: Farnv F.»t. Sully Sugar. P: 1 riel: Protine, Lilv I ime Viola Vita- ! mine and what they do far ot.r i hodie". Nf>w what do the children lose who drink only skimmed milk? They get none of Fanny Fat and Viola iVt nmincs, These they need for growth j and to built up resistance to disease.| The workers report that the re-; spopse given them by teachers and pu | nils was mo=t satisfactory. ne of the pieces of follow-up work which is Igiing done is that of the home econ omies, students of the Shelhv high school undue the direction of Miss Re becca flushing. These girl tv'll tell attractive mill; stories and carry on the gospel of. more mill: making het i-r health -to the school children in the mill sections around Shelby.

Mrs Kin? betaine the guest of Means and his wife in Ni.rth Carolina. In August, 191?, when the will seemed about to be made good, Mrs. Kin? was shot hack of the ear. First, Means said she hud committed suicide, .Then he said she had handled a weapon carelessly “while shootin? at a mark”. He was acquitted. The will of Mrs. Kin? left every 'hiror to her sister. Mrs. Mary C. Melvin. It was filed in Chicago. Pro bate Judge Horner, in spite of the best efforts of Means, said the will was an impudent forgery. There was a lot of litigation. Charges were brought against Means in New York county. Means sued District Attorney Swann and Assistant District Attor ney John T. pooling for maligning him.
