Clomson (.College, May &,~~A recent United States Department of Agriculture circular shows conclusively from records on over 200,000 cow* of different breed* in the United StaU?? that the large cows, within a breed produce ttttfre milk, inoro butterfat, and more net profit, <!? clares J. P. UaMaster, head of the ? 1 '** <lairy division. "South Oaroilna cows are below the average in size for the breed to which they belong because of two practices followed by most dairy farmers in the state," continues Mr, Da Master. "First, heifers are not fed enough from six months old uutil they first freshen to produce normal growth. Most farmers feed calves satisfactorily until they are six months old because they have learned that if they do not they will die. The second practice res|?onsible 'for small cows is running the bull with th?u..rows and heifers. Under this^ system the young heifers breed when ~ they arc nine to l?r? months old and produce their first calves when well , under two yeurs of age. "Contrary to popular opinion, carrying the calf does not have a serious effect on the young heifer's growth. It. is the milking period following calving which produces the stunted j condition Of cows. Kvcn small lieif-j ers produce dry matter in the first : week or 10 days of their milking per- j iod equal to that of the calf when it is born. Since tin* calf is produced over a period of many months, this : is obviously not a serious factor. "Tile practice of breeding heifers too young must be changed if we hope to get the greatest profit fro pi dairying. The only solution of this problem is fur each farmer to build a pen in which t he hull can he kept separate from the heifers and the milking herd. Then the heifers may' he bred at 10 to 20 months of age. J depending on their size, ami by good j feeding they can be grown to -a normal siae.V Came Booster Battles Hawk to Death B. F. CopeLand, who recently moved to his newly built home near the old Georgetown road about four and a half miles southeast of town, has a game rooster who knows how and has the grit and fighting qualities to protect his'family against marauders. One day last week a hawk swooped . down?among the poultry flock, selecting as the most desirable of them the young biddies, but before he could carry out his evil designs the I aforesaid game rooster gave him hat- j tie and put him to death with his ' spurs, and then stood on him and, picked out both his eyes. ?

' Henry Ford Buys Old Printing Press High Point, N.<C.~- <Rccau*e ? south' ern newspaper editor wan "too busy" to eraae tin "f" lie got an extra $1,000 from Henry Ford for an ancient printing preaa! The story has just been ^elated by H. W. Kronheimer of HijJh Point, formerly one of the editor* of tlie Roanoke Valley News. His interest in the tale is that he once owned the press, but not appreciating its value to a collector, sold it for ubout $20. Mr. Kronheimer originally purchased the press at auction for less than $10. Somfe of the parts were missing. He sold it, and it changed hands several times, finally going to Boydton, Va. A typographer's salesman culled on the Roydton editor. "What's that?" he asked, peering ' at the old press, caked with ink and ; half covered with rubbish, j "Junk," said the editor.* "It was part of the outfit when I took it over." The salesman rubbed off the maker's name plate and saw the date ' several centuries old. "Henry Ford i wouldn't call this junk," he suggested. The ediloi wrote to Henry Ford, and receiver! an immediate reply, aski ing for particulars and the price. [-Pariiculars were easy, but the price | perplexed the newspaper man. Fif[ ty dollars? Perhaps. "Flf?" he | wrote. Not enough. Five hundred, but he'd have to rub out that "f" and substitute a "v". Too much trouble. Make it fifteen hundred. He did. And "Mr. Ford sent his check. Tracing of the history of the old press disclosed that it was second to be brought to tKfe: United States t from England, being used for years at Williamsburg, Va., in tlx* days when the colonies^ were young. It now reposes in Mr. Ford's mu! .-.cum rft Dearborn. Mich. Health and Beauty (By Dr. Sophia Brunson) TulierculoHis No. 2 Tuberculosis usually starts in the lungs of a person who has become run down in health. At first a small grey lump forms which is called a tubercle. It is u tiny cheesy mass which is composed of dead tissue that has been destroyed by the germs which it contains. If you examine the tubercle under the microscope you will discover, that the body is trying to ,protect itself against thd invading enemy and has placed a double layer of cells around the murderous germs. These germs throw off poisons which cause the destruction of lung tissue. If the body of the person who has tuberculosis is sufficiently strong, the tubercles and the germs cannot continue their deadly work. Slowly the body cells will deposit layer after layer around the J tubercles and shut the germs up in this strong prison from which they | cann-ot get out to continue war on their victim. If the patient builds' his vitality by hygienic and biological living, the cells of his body will win ' the fight that has been going on in his lung.->. Nature will deposit chalk . in the tubercle and finally construct a strong wall of scar tissue about it. Thus we see that the only treatment j for tuberculosis is' to build up the j body and so strengthen it that it will l>o enabled to fight the germs j by walling them off, and gradually 1 as time passes, ultimately to destroy them. This kind of scar tissue is often found in dead bodies at postmortems. Many have had tuberculosis at some tune in their lives but recovered spontaneously without knowing that they had it. By living carefully the scars or fort l osses will remain strong and keep the germs walled up, hut if something happens to weaken and <lebilitate t lie body the -ear walls j may grow weak and . limbic.

Moody The history of the United States has been written partly in blood and partly in the achievement* of America'* great sons and daughters along the route where U. S, Highway No. 1 stretches, an almost unbroken ribl>on of concrete and asphalt. 2,4113.5 miles irT length, from Fort 'Kent, Maine, northern tip of the United State* to the corral reef* at Key West, Fla., the#southern extremity. The Highway run* from the latitude where it snows early and stay* on the ground late to the land of pulms and sunshino, where homes are built without chimneys. Travelers from Hartford, southbound for their vacation trip, reach this pulsing, busy artery of national travel at either New Haven or New York. Prom these two junctions the motorist can drive rarely out of sight <if service stations or gagages and always within easy reach of j#ood hotel facilities, on, a paved highway with the exception of a small strip in the northern part of South Carolina, which will bo paved within the next few months. Along the route of U. S. Highway No. 1 are: Boston, "The Cradle of Liberty"; New Haven, hallowed by those who have followed the progress of education in this country; New York, metropolis "of the western world, and Trenton. N. J., capital of a rapidly growing state, is next. A little further on is Philadelphia, where Independence Hall is located, the symbol of the freedom loving spirit which built this nation. It is one of the many relics of early American struggles found there. Baltimore, emporium of commerce and industry, is next and is remembered as the place where Francis Scott Key received his inspiration for "The Star Spangled Banner", song of 120,000,000 Americans. Washington, the National Capital, is another famous cfty along the route, which then glides on down through Virginia, passing the battle fields of the Civil War until Richmond is reached. Between Richmond and Petersburg, Va., are the trenches used in the long ei^ge of Richmond, which was the Capital of the Southern Confederacy. Here trench war fare was first undertaken on a large scale. Every step of the route in Virginia is hallowed by three centuries of vtruggle for freedom and progr^fs* The roadside is dotted with battle field# and points of historical interest. Into North Carolina, an up and commit state, the automobile rolls over ribbons of broad concrete. Kaleigh, the State Capital, is the birthplace of Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth President of the United States, Sanford, Southern Pines and Pinehurst come next, the latter is one of the important winter resorts of the South. Camden, S. C., is another fine winter playground and is on the route before Columbia, South Carolina's capital, is reached. The State House in Columbia still bears the mark of cannon balls used in Sherman's siege < of the City. Aiken, the winter polo capital, of the, United States, is located on this famous highway, nestled among the pines on high ground just 17 miles before crossing the Savannah river, the boundary line between South Carolinu and Georgia. Augusta, famed for her fine resort hotels and mild climate is the winter golf center of the country. This city is also rich in Revolutionary ' history. From Augusta to Jacksonville, Flu., unbroken paving across the famous "Wire Grass" region of Georgia has been laid. Louisville, 50 miles south, has standing in the center of the town the old slave market. Among the progressive towns between LouisviHv'and Wayc^oss are: Swainsboro, Lyons and Baxley. A touch of the new south is seen in Waycross, busy industrial center. , Jacksonville. Fla., is then reached and the traveler glides down the famous Florida East Coast on palmfringed avenues. One of the outstanding advantages of C. S. Highway No. 1 is the fact that it is marked throughout its entire length with one number, U. S. No. 1. Kills Children Columbus, Ohio.?.Mrs. Ethel Geller, 44, shot and killed seven of her children shortly after she had put them to bed Tuesday evening, and attempted to commit suicide. She was taken to a hospital in a dying condition. It is believed that Mrs. Geller became despondent over her losing battle against poverty. All Bones in Body Broken. Concord, N.
