V' j*'grP* ^ w . v ; ? "" new dollar bills Are R??l<"y N?? roc Distrlbatiort All At Once. Washington, D, C.,~Jan, 2.?The year 1928 will mark the first change ?' ImV*r money aince 1861. ror months the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the greatest print shop in the world, will he buay making new and smaller 91 bills so that upon some fixed day next fall they may be issued simultaneously throughout the country and the old ones retired at one swoop, to bo redeemed, of course, upon demand. Notes Of other denominations will be I printed and put in circulation probably in 1929. The now notes will be 6 5-16 by 2 11-16 inches whereas tne notes now in circulation are 7 7-16 by 2 1-8 inches. By the change the government expects to save 92,000,000 annually. The reduction in sire of the bills is expected to increase the capacity of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing by BO per cent because twelve of the smaller notes can be printed at one impression upon .the same pre*s which now prints hut eight. e #iW in the bills will be made more convenient to handle and will also-be more durable. The new notes will Blip into a billfold or pocket, it is , claimed, without creasing or folding, and Jor this reason are expected to have a much longer life than those now in use. The life of thd average bill now is not more than six or seven months, treasury officials say. Folding is one of the chief items cutting short the life of paper money. Farmers Starving Sheep. Clemson Colleg, Jari. 9.?A sheep's ability to more nearly glean a living froin pasture than any other livestock has led many to abuse it by providing scanty pasture insufficient for profit, says L. V. Starkey, chief animal husbandman here. Sheep respond to good treatment and good rations as well as other stock. While stomach worms take ' the heaviest, sheep toll of all. the troubles in this state, i$ 7>s quite tpue they damage more the undernourished flocks.T. Most of the flocks in South Carolina are infested with stomach worms but constant use of a copper sulphate drench will control them if sheep are well fed, says Prof. Starkeyi Extra feed increases resistance to internal parasites and diseases. An excellent grain mixture for winter is corn, oats and bran in equal parts, which may be fed with either legume or grass hay, thpugh little is needed with a legume. On a legume feed, grain is not usually fed at all until a month before lambing. The standard grain ration for ewes is one-half pound a day. This seems little and frequently those who take a notion to feed grain feed too much. Another satisfactory winter ration for grade ewes is legume hay and corn. The legume is high in protein while corn is high in carbohydrates and fat. A shepherd can always tell by looking at his sheep whether they are up to weight and whether it is necessary to feed somq concentrates. An eight-indh crab with labeled shell was recently .captured on the Fifth of Clyde, Scotland. It had been liberated eighteen months before at- A^rdeeni three hundred miles away. An 'anarchist album,- containing the photographs of some five hundred anarchists of international reputation, was published and distributed among interested nations in 1894 by the French Government.

Well Satisfied With i^Mutou Um?l by It, The armyajr corps hat given out a statement about the destruction of the Pee Dee river bridge near Albermarie, N. C., which gives some interesting details of the job. "The speed of the plane from which the bomb was released la anch that it crossed the bridge in one-tenth of a sdtond," a narrative of the bombardment said. 'This meant that there waf only one spot in the air at which | a bomb could be released to l)it thjji bridge and that an error df one-tenth of a second in this release would result in a complete miss." "Considering this, it can be only realized that the army air corpa had a , difficult mission. As a matter of fact it could do exceptionally marvelous bombing from an accuracy point of view and still not make a direct hit with a single bomb." The outstanding lesson drawn by air corps experts from the bombardment was that it required bombs of around 1,100 pounds weight and containing 550 pounds of explosives, equipped with delayed fuses, to accomplish demolition of reinforced steel und concrete structures such as the Pee Dee bridge. The salvos of 300 and 600 pound bombs dropped previously proved "no serious menace to constructions of this type" even with direct hits, the reports said. Six hundred pounds which struck within five or ten feet of the bridge "did no effective military damage." The final bopibardment was undertaken with 18 of the 1,100 pounders and direct hits were scored in almost 2fc per cent, of the attacks. The first big bombs destroyed two approach spans of the bridge, the second demolished two more and last two hits toeing.close to a pier wrecked three large spans over the river. . In preparing for the test, army $ps carried to the advance operating base -bombs aggregating 61,800 poupds in weight and flew a distance of 25,000 miles ail told. "This amount of flying and this amount of explosive carried was ail accomplished without injury or casualty and without any motor or airplane trouble. .

ARCTIC LIFE IN CAROLINAS Club Which Ascended Mt. Mitchell * Bring Back Stories of Cold. On Saturday, the Blue Ridge Hik< ers club went to the top of Mt. Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Rockies, to welcome 1928 with a great blaae and display of fireworks, .aqd -oa.-Monday they returned to Marion, N. C., with tales that sound the stories of the oldtime arctic J expeditions in search of the north pole. . When the men of the club reached the top. of the peak, the thermometer was.-lj degrees <?elow zero; before they .started back, it was 25 degrees below zero with a gale of seventyfive miles an hour blowing snow into drift* and sweeping clean the icy ground, and blowing sleet that struck any bare skin like salt from a shotgum The club members holed in around a red hot stove in the cabin of "the forest ranger g$n top of Mt.

So you. can see in an instant how fast they are decreasing. The whole nutriber for the United States last j year wohld not have supplied on* prosperous State back in the "nine- i ties/' In fact, there . were some counties that boasted more than 20,000 bug-gies. Mere mention of the buggy brings fond recollections to many hearts. > H ow smart it looked in its shiny paint 1 behind a spirited ? horse in glossy patent leather harness. And what pride shone in the feahis under skillful direction, caught the admiring glance of the fair sex. It was in the top buggy that blissful hours were spent, on the way to dances, to picnics, or just for the ride. It was a wonderful medium, for courtship, and many a mature. couple who now sit back on the comfortable cushions of their six-cylinder car first felt in the old top buggy that mysterious and .powerful stirring of the heart that united them forr'life. Doubtless rnkpy think of old buggy days with a sigh as they now glide smoothly, noiselessly and comfortably along. They are proud of the beautiful new sedan or roadster, of course.
