OUR FOLKS How good it is to live among folks whose hearts are in the right place! We are not perfect here in Per quimans. Some of us are selfish, some of us are cold, many of us are careless, most of us are thoughtless sometimes. We go our own narrow little way too often, merely taking thought for our own. But perhaps we are only human, after all The response our people has made to the call of the Red Cross to aid the flood sufferers proves that Our people have opened their hearts and they have -opened their pocketbooks to lend a helping hand to those in distress. Most of our peo ple have really shown themselves glad to give. It hasn't been neces sary to urge any one to make a con tribution to the Red Cross. In many and many a case it wasn't necessary j to ask for contributions. People came forward gladly to give their! bit .J No, we aren't perfect We are human. But thank God, we are hu-j mane, too.. J The folks fin Perquimans are right good folks, bur folks. WE'RE PROUD OF 'EMI Did you read that list of boys who have registered for the new Boy Scout troop? Read it It's a list of the leaders of the coming generation. That little bunch of boys, together with a number of others who in all probability will register before the list is complete, is the type of boy to make good Boy Scouts. They are the boys one expects to be interested in the things that Boy Scouts are in terested in. And they are also the type who will make the leading men of the next generation. Keep your eye on them. HIT OR MISS ., eeeeeee3 By M. L. W. "I want to pay you for a water melon I stole from you about three years ago." The speaker, a young man, was unknown to N. Q. Ward, at whose home he called one night re cently. Mr. Ward, naturally, was non plussed. He didn't even know that anybody had ever stolen a water melon from him. He didn't want to be paid for it He wouldn't name any price. The young man insisted that he take fifty cents. "If I take that much," said Mr. Ward, "I Shall be in a worse fix than you are in, because the watermelon wasn't worth that much." The upshot of it was that the young man dropped a quarter into Mr. Ward's pocket and wouldn't take it back. He plainly didn't want Mr. Ward to suffer as he had suffered, so did not press the fifty cents. And now Mr. Ward says he just can't use that quarter. But Mrs. Ward has solved the problem. "Just drop it in the collection plate at church" she said. Af And if the young man learns about this he probably will be glad to know that the money went that way. C. F. Sumner, Sr., is enjoying the box of cigars presented to him by his son, Lieut. CoL Henry Sumner, ''before the war."; Lieut. Col. Sumner, then Lieut Siimner,, was married back in 1913. While on his wedding trip he spent some,, time at Tampa, Florida, and while there sent his father in Hert ford a box of very fine cigars.. ., The cigars were not opened at once. In fact, they were put up and probably all but forgotten. Last week, the week, by the way when Lieut Col. Sumner's daughter, .' Miss Fay Sumner, was married, Mr. Sum ner got out his box of cigars and be gan to pass them around to his friends and to enjoy one "now : and then. 7 C. F. Sumner, Jr, who smoked me of the cigars, said that, though 24 years old, they appear to be all riirht ' One. odd thins-, he says, he noticed about them, though; is that the ash never drops ' off the end while you smoke, the entire cigar, in ashes, remaining to the end of the smoke. "Stowaway," which is coming to the State Theatre next week, is a picture which will appeal to every one. I saw it last week in St Petersburg, Florida. The curly-hair ed little Shirley Temple is at her best in this picture, which features Alice Faye and Robert Young. The picture is to. be shown at the State on Thursday and Friday of next week. Horace Jones, the Manager of the State Theatre, whose age some one is trying to guess, cannot be so very old, although he is a married man, because he says he went to school to Walter H. Oakey, Jr., who taught seventh or eighth grade sub jects in the Elizabeth City schools a few years hack. . This paragraph was not written by M. L. W. and was inserted while she was looking another way. Anyway attention is called to the story in this issue captioned "I Visit Florida." Mrs. White you know,. took a short vacation last week to Florida, and her description of the trip is very interesting, but oh, my! just notice the length of the article. And what the writer of this paragraph is so very thankful for is that Mrs. White didn't take a trip to the Ber muda Islands or maybe to Europe. It no doubt would have been neces sary to print a book instead of a newspaper. With everything so new and so fine at the Hertford Clinic, where one must go to find either Dr. Brinn or Dr. Davenport now, it certainly is comforting to be greeted by our old friends, Mrs. Britt and Heywood Div ers. Mrs. Fenton Britt has for a long time been associated with Dr. Dav enport as office nurse and a comfort ing atmosphere always hangs around that dainty little lady, and that cheerful grin of Heywood 's certainly would be greatly missed. Heywood was formerly in Dr. Brinn's office.. Yes, these two personalities are a distinct asset. v William Broady, 16-year-old Ne eto. rot the $30 nrize at the State Theatre Wednesday night PRUE NEWBY CONTINUES FINE RECORD AT COLLEGE The name of Prue Collins Newby appears in the list of 83 students at East Carolina Teachers College mak ing the "All American" list as star scholars at that college during the last quarter, the average grade of this type of scholars being 1.7. A list of the 83 star students ap peared in a recent issue of the Teco Echo, the college paper, in which: a report of a basketball game between E. C. T. C. and Chowan College, also appears.: .. . , ."Newby, a newcomer to E. C. T. C played a fine game at forward, scor ing a total of 10 points.' -ji 1 It' would seem that Prue, who 'Is & daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Newby,- of Hertford, is carrying w in the manner to be 'expected frpm the fine-record she has always made in school, both' from a scholastic and an athletic standpoint ,..,. But it is not only in school that Prue stands out,. Though she. could always be depended upon to stand high in her classes and could , always shoot more - goals in ' a - basketball game than anybody else, it is her thoughtful consideration for others, her respectful manner to older people and her charmingly genial personal ity that will, always make her out standing In any group. - "n. When we criticize the TaOroada, let's remember that U they have mod mistakes, under privets enter prise, they have also accomplished something. ,.".,,, . , v A Hogs Need Green Feed During Winter Months Green feed will help keep the swine herd vigorous and healthy during the winter months. When possible, hogs should be al lowed to graze on green forage. If pasturage is not available, a green leafy, legume hay should be fed, said H. W. Taylor, extension swine specialist at State College. Green feed contains vitamin A, which is essential for healthy swine, he continued. Alfalfa, soybean, and lespedesa hays make good winter feed. Taylor also warns growers not to let pigs feed too long on soybean and peanut fields, as this tends to pro duce soft, oily pork that is not de sirable for home consumption or for marketing. After pigs have reached a weight of 85 pounds, they should be put on a feed of corn and fish meal or tank age. Cottonseed meal may be mix ed with the fish mteal or tankage, m equal parts, if desired. Hogs like cottonseed meal, k helps stimulate their appetites, and it is a good ''hardening ration", he ex plained. The corn and protein supplement should, of course, be balanced with an abundance of leafy, green feed, he said. This ration, if fed until the pigs attain a weight of 200 to 225 pounds will produce pork that is firm and well marbled, Taylor pointed out He emphasized that when hogs are fed a softening ration for a long time, they cannot be made to produce good, firm meat by feeding them corn for a few weeks.

He was eavs c4 these gays that worries about hin self a lot He was stingy, too, and didn't like to be spending money on doctors, but finally he went to one. The doc looked him over and finally give him some advice. "You go down to Atlantic City for a week and forget your trou bles," he says. So about ten days later the doe met his patient stepping along the ' boardwalk down at Atlantic City. "Oh, hello Mister Columbus!" says the doc, "You still exploring the coast here?" "Yeah, IU tell you, Dr. LitteH. ifs just like this. Since you told me to come here to improve my health, and I was run down, I thought maybe I could stay a little lowrer."

Interesting Facts About The Railroads Everyone knows that automobile ownership is far more wide-spread in the United States than anywhere else in the world, that m;ore families own bathtubs, radios and washing machines than in other countries, but the average man has far less reali zation of the leading position the United States holds in railroading. Little short-haul. 'countries, which use railroads very much the way we use street cars, are often held up to us as examples. The truth is chat nowhere in the world is there any thing like the American railroad sys tem in mileage or business handled per man-hour. RUFUS T.
