And then there was the tell-tale click oi" two other receivers being lifted, for this was a party line. Old Mrs. Allien and Sally Peterson probably. They were both confirmed eavesdroppers, people said. But never mind. It wasn't anything personal Mary had to tell her. Jus', things about t'he state political meet ing she'd been attending and the subject for their next club meeting and something about the school pro gram to be held that night. Let the neighbors listen in all they wanted to! As a matter of tact, it would do them both good, Jane grinned de lightedly as lier .sister, Mary, launch ed into piaise of a man Mrs. Allen hated and, criticized some one she liked. It iiiust be hard for the olu lady to keep from breaking in with a few thoughts of her own. What would u be like, Jane won dered to live in a country where you were afram 10 say what you think even to members of your own famiQy, let alone boadcast tliem on a busy party line'.' "I'll sec that the governor hears about this. That's what I'll do. And then you'll see what happens to your job, young lady! It won't be worth two cents." It was Mrs. Sanders, dissatisfied wiui the work of t'he County Reliei Oiiice, who was talk ing to the investigator assigned to Chevrolet Dealers Report New High In Sales For January Detroit, Feb. 6. During the sec ond 10-day period in January, Chev rolet dealers bolstered the record sales report submitted in the pre vious 10-day period by establishing new sales marks in company history, both for the period and for the first 20 days of the month, it was an nounced here today by W. E. Holler, general sales manager. In the period, deailers sold at re tail a total of 30,479 new passenger and commercial cars, a gain of 20.3 per cent over the comparable period last year and an increase of 6.7 per cent over the preceding 10 days this year. Combined sales during the 20 days totalled 58,978, a 24.4 per cent advance over the same period in 1940. Used car sales in the 10-day period were 47,493, an increase of 22.7 per cent over the same period last yeai and a gain of 16.9 per cent over the preceding it) days this year. The 20-day report shows used car sales 23 percent in advance of the same period in 1940. Retail truck sales also held to the upward course established since the new models were introduced last fall, advancing 36 per cent over January 1-20 last year, with total sales being 12.336 for the 20-day period.

But, on the other hand, you'd probably do the same thing I ain doing if you were iti mine." And then, driving home along the deserted country road, past snug looking farm houses where people were saying what they wanted to, to whom they wanted to, the young in vestigator smiled. It was a good thing that Mrs. Sanders could say what she wanted to to the governoi or any one else, although it would mean some extra work on her part oeiore the thing was settled. We're a nation of talkers. We say what we think and what we don't think. We complain and we criticize and in most instances get it out of our systems. We've always been talkers. Since the Pilgrims com plained of the British and the time when men sat around the stove in the village general store and told each other what President Lincoln ought to do. Vve talk in papers, on the radio, on platforms and to each other and no one tells us to look out we better not say that ... or shh ... we must not say this. Because this is Amer ica where every man "from the oceans to the prairies" has a right to his own opinions and, come what may, can say what he likes! Local U.D.C. Chapter Endorses Movement For Pettigrew Monument The Skinner-Jones Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confeder acy have gone on record as favoring the building of a monument to the memory of the State's famous hero, General James Johnston Pettigrew, and has passed a resolution setting forth its sentiment regarding this movement. The Daughters of the Confederacy of North Carolina have been working toward this goal for some time and the local Chapter added its weight toward the work in its regular meet ing held this week. Copies of the resolution were for warded to Governor Broughton, Mrs. J. F. Hayden, chairman of the legis lative committee of the U. D. C, and to State Senator Herbert Lear. Medium-Sized Hogs Make Best Profits Interest in swine production is mounting, now that prices have de finitely advanced. Ellis Vestal, Ex tension swine specialist of N. C. State College, reminds farmers that the size of their profits still will de pend upon the way they feed and manage their hog herds. "For instance," the animal hus bandman said, "tests have been con ducted that show the most profits are obtained from feeding out intei mediate size hogs." The Federal Bureau of Animal Industry has conducted a study on swine types at the Beltsville (Md.) Research Center since 1931, compar ing the ability of hogs of different types to produce pork efficiently. The study brought out the following facts: Large type and intermediate type sows farrowed and weaned a larger number of pigs per litter than sman type sows. Large and medium type pigs were heavier at birth and at weaning time. The medium typ pigs made the fastest gains, the large type pigs ranked next. How ever, t'he difference in feed require ments per 100 pounds gain was too small to indicate an advantage for any of the three groups. When the three lots were fed out to a final weight of 225 pounds, the small type hogs were too fat and the large type under-finished. When fed to the same degree of finish, the small! type hogs weighed 143 pounds, the medium type 214 pounds, and the large type 225 pounds. Considering' all factors, Vestal says, the intermediate type is be lieved to be superior in its all-around ability to meet present-day marketing requirements. It has the weight aa vantage that is flexible enough to furnish a good market nog at weights of 200 to 235 pounds and heavier it conditions warrant. John Deere Day Set For Saturday; Free Movies At State The J. C. Blanchard Company is extending a cordial invitation to all farmers, and their neighbors to be its guests on John Deere Day.

Elliott-Ward A wedding of much interest in Perquimans County was solemnized on Sunday afternoon, January 26, at 4 o'clock, when Miss Esther Ixmise Ward, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Ward, of near Hertford, became the bride of Mr. Lorenza li. Elliott, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Elliott, of Chapanoke.

POTATOES REMOVE FROM THE SOt L MORE POTASH THAN NiTROCENMulPHOSPHORICACIO COMBINED I THE first requirement in growing profitable potatoes is plenty of potash the most important plant food for producing high yields, more No. l's, and good quality. For instance a 300-bushel per acre yield uses 125 lbs. of nitrogen, 35 lbs. of phosphoric acid, and 170 lbs. of potash. Experiment stations and successful growers have found 1,500 to 2,250 lbs. of a 5-7-7 anal ysis per acre a profitable application. Ask your county agent or experiment station how much available potash your soil contains and how much to add to carry your crop through to more profit. Then make sure that your dealer sells you a fertilizer containing enough potash to supply what you need. You will be surprised how little extra it costs. Write us for our free illustrat ed booklet on how much plant food crops use. AMERICAN POTASH INSTITUTE, INC. INVESTMENT BUILDING WASHINGTON.
