wii COLORFUL WHITSVILLS MAN, QOCS ON HIS 'LAST WALK' I Whllevlllo, Nov. i??In thy sudden passing last Sunday morning of K. A. Maultsby, former Judge of Columbus county recorder's court, Columbus county lost one of Its most colorful citizens. I Mr. Maultsby was distinctly unique in character. While tl?9 Konpral run of people are content to celebrate the anniversary of their birth by stuffing their stomachs and gratifying their desires for earthly pleasures by exchanging present*, the former Columbus recorder celebrated his birthday in a different way. Kvery year tor the last 12, with otto exception Mr. Maultsby noted the attainment of a now milestone In bis life by walking the distance from \Vhltovllle to Wilmington - which is about 30 miles; that despite his advancing years. Only last April, despite his 72 summers. the Whltovllle man accomplished the' feat with little dif/lculty, savo fot a couple of very tired feet. Unfortunately, death last week precluded his carrying out a boast nuuje about 12 years ago that he expected to continue Ills annual hike until he was 100. Mr. Maultsby started his un'que celebration of his birthday a dozen years ago when somebody Idly told him that, ijpon reaching his?00th birthday, ihul ho was getting old. Mo boasted that ho fell as good as be did the day be was 36,. and made bis llrst trip to Wilmington afoot to prove bis point. Needless to say, It did. Usually, the trip took about 14 hours, Mr. Maultsby leaving Whiteville during the early hours of the morn?4 or 6 o'clock, and arriving In the New Hanover capital sometime during the ensuing afternoon. Always, ho kept account of the vehicle traffic going both ways. And, the strange thing about It all la that Mr. Maultaby'a last trip In April, 1340, was made In practically the same time as his first trip. Expect Heavy Tourist Travel Columbia.

HIGHEST EGG PROFIT8 IN FALL AND WINTER damson, Nov. 23?The egg production secured during full and winter la J probably tho most Important factor determining the yoar's profits from the j poultry flock, according to J. W. I Matthews, assistant extension poultry! man. j Since fall and winter are not the I normal seasons for egg production it is usually more difficult and costly to obtain high production at that time. However, tho relative profitableness of good egg production at this period of tho year Is well known. "For good fall and winter production." Matthew says, "some planning in advance is necessary. Well bred stock and reasonable management, InJ eluding tho use of lights, lire usually sufficient. "Only the breeder, breeder-hatchery (or hatchery using pedigreed males Identified under the National Poultry Improvement Plan as l'. S. Certified are in position to supply stock with j proven production back of it."

I WOODWARD TRAPS* L1MON* FOR CRAB* IN ALASKAN WILD* (From u>ioy Oa/otto N?w?) i r On* afternoon a few weeks a*o the chartered yacht of Mr. and Mr?. Krnest I*. Woodward and their frleuda. Mr. and Mrs. DwW?t Partridge, was anchored In oue of the numerous oovee that Indent the Alaska ooaat Hue.... loaning on the rail and feMtlng hla oyoa on the glorious mountain scenery. Mr. Woodward noticed a small log cabin on shore.,. .a little distance out in the water in front of the cabin there floated a ?l?eable wooden crate which Incited his interest and elicited the information from the captain that it was a crab crate Alaskan crabs are sizeable and toothsome morsel for those fond of sea food...."?to you think wp would be able to get eorae crabs if we went ashore?" asked Mr. Woodward of the captain... ."More than likely," was the reply. v.. a skiff was lowered and Mr. Woodward was paddled ashore by one of the guides ....a man % ell past middle age was the sole occupant of the cabin, his only oompanion belug a small dog.... the desired quantity of crabs was obtained and Mr. Woodward asked for the charge.. ."Money is of little -use to me", was the reply. "It Is sixty utiles to the nearest trading post and I don't got there very often. If ybu have a few lemons you oould spare I prefer them to money. 1 enjoy a piece of lemon in my tea"....the answer was one that invited speculation upon the past iifo of this man, now living a hermit life at tho base of the mountains on the rugged Alaskan coast did he take lemon with his tea In -the drawing room of a spacious home before tho spirit of adventure or the quest for gold enticed him to this north country.... was he a black sheop, estranged in his youth from a family with many tradltons... .the answer remains with this man and his little dog accepting his invitation, Mr. Woodward walked up the path to the cabin and now we come to the point of the story....In a cupboard made out of a packing box attached high up on the wall there reposed on a shelf a few packages of Jell-O. ... the same Jell-O that Mr. Woodward took over the management of in 1906. following the death of his father^ and built from a relatively small business At that time to really big business when it was sold about twenty years later, to eventually becomo a part of General Foods ... the Jell-O was augmented with a generous supply of lemons.
