Ponkrymen May
Borrow Money
To Buy Chicks
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 23.—
Recognizing the tremendous im
portance of the poultry industry,
the Ftoderal Government has made
it possSAe for poultrymen to bor-
ley to purchase chicks
the Agricultural Credit
Corporation, and the money is be
ing made available through the
Agrlcottural Credit Corporation’s
brxzaoh bank at Raleigh to pur
chase chicks and raise them to ma
turity.
~Tn order to secure this money”,
says P. H. Gooding, extension poul-
trymao, “the requirements are (1)
to have been raising chicks for
three years,(2) to have ample feed
and eiiuipment, and (3) to purchase
chides from blood-tested stock. The
minimum loan to an individual will
be $75.00. Forty per cent of the
Iran must be paid when the cock-
erels are sold and the remainder in
nine months.
“Apphcaiion blanks for these
loans may be secured from county
farm agents, who have been ap
pointed secretaries for their coun
ties by the bank at Raleigh.”
Statistics show that poultry to
day is not only the most profit
able farm product but alsq affords
the quickest cash return. Records
fcom paoltrymen in the state for
tire past five years show that if
bens are raised under sanitary con-
diUons, housed and fed properly,
am. return a net profit be-
one and two dollars per bird
jbi a year. In view of these facts.
Gooding urges poultrymen in
to see their county farm
immediately and secure ap-
blanks so that they may
profit through this opportunity.

Using Left-Overs
As Economy Move
“A penny saved is a penny earn
ed,”-says the_ familiar quip for eco
nomy, so let’s economize by saving
every bit of left-over food.
“A left-over need not be recog
nized as such,” says Inez S. Will-
son, home economist. It may be
made into suclVa tasty dish and so
completely changed from its orig
inal form that no one will guess
that he has seen it before.
Here are some recipes for trans
forming left-over meats into Jasty
dishes: ~
Pork and Celery au Gratin
2 cups cooked pork.
11-2 cups white sauce.
1-2 cup cfelery.
1-2 cup bread crumbs.
4 tablespoons butter.
Paprika.
Salt. s
Pepper.
Dice cooked pork and combine
with white sauce. Add diced cel
ery, season with paprika and put in
a baking dish. Cover with but
tered bread crumbs and bake in a
moderate oven (350 degrees Fah
renheit) until the crumbs are
browned. Serve while hot.
Meat and Macaroni en Casserole
2 cups diced cooked meat.
2 cups macaroni.
2 medium-sized onions.
2 cups tomatoes.
1-2 cup bread crumbs.
Salt.
Pepper.
Cook the macaroni in boiling
salted water until tender. Drain
md blanch in cold water. Place a
rvf mn^aroni in a casserole,
then cover with a layer of meat, a
layer of sliced onion, and a layer
of tomatoes. Sprinkle with bread
crumbs. Season with salt and
pepper. Continue until all ingredi
ents are used, having a layer of
bread crumbs on top. Pour over
all, gravy to cover. Bake in a
moderate oven for forty-five min
utes.

IMPROVED PASTURE PAYS
Improved pastures are a cheap
source of feed for stock. A^ farmer
in New Hampshire, co-operating
with his county agent top-dressed
his 5 acres of pasture with 500
pounds of complete fertilizer at a
cost of $75, reports the United
States Department of Agriculture.
After 4 weeks he turned his cows on
this pasture. Tests made during
the six weeks the cows grazed there
showed that his herd produced 7,-
000 pounds more milk than they did
in the same period the previous
year, although the farmer had one
cow fewer and fed 800 pounds less
grain. Based on current milk prices
he made $189 on the extra milk and
saved $16 on the grain, netting him
an increase in income of $120.

t. .\L Service
OOGER TREE always had dreaded
parties, but that night of the
Shaw’s dinner party everything seemed
difl'erent. The charming Mrs. Shaw
greeted him with a beaming smile and
Mr. Shaw, whom he had met only once
before, had greeted him like an old
friend. After that Shaw and he had
gone arm in arm Into the drawing room
while Mrs. Shaw had presented him to
the other guests.
“I do want you to meet Mr. True.”
she wonld s.a.v to one of the older
women, “Roger True, you know. It’s
a grftat treat to have him with us.” Or
to another guest, “Molly, dear, this is
our friend Roger True. You and he
must have a chat together.” And
then Mr. Shaw again taking his arm
led him into the study to two of the
older men. “This is Roger True.”
lie told them. “He’s doing great things
at the Durand plant—put over that
new dehydrated process.” And then
Roger True forgot all about his sandy
red hair, his spectacles and his large
awkward hands, and felt as much at
ease as he would have felt at the Du
rand plant.
Naturally Mrs. Shaw didn’t present
him to Stella Howe because it was
Stella who had introduced him to the
Shaws just ten days ago at the country
club. Stella, talking’ to one of the
younger men when Roger came in. had
merely smiled and said “Hello,
Roger.” as Mr. Shaw led him to the
library.
That half-hearted sort of greeting
from Stella had been a little discon
certing and as Roger talked easily
with the men in the library he had it
In mind that later he must have a talk
with Stella. He had expected to sit
beside her at dinner but fifteen min
utes later he found himself seated as
guest of honol* at Mrs. Shaw’s right,
with a charming, golden-haired blond
on the other side.
In the hack of his mind Roger tried
to figure out what had happened.
Either Mrs. Shaw was one of those per
fect hostesses whose object is to make
shy and awkward guests feel at home,
or else her guests were much more re
sponsive than any he had met at par
ties at home.
Mr. Shaw Insisted on driving Roger
back to his hotel, an arrangement that
made it impossible for him to go home
with Stella, and Roger felt not only
a sense of disappointment but some
thing of self-reproach as well because
he had had no time to talk to her.
“I’m sorry I didn’t have a chance to
talk to you,” he told her when they
chanced jo meet In the hall. “Maybe I
can see you tomorrow evening.”
“Maybe.” said Stella rather vaguely.
Roger sat thinking things over in
his hotel room after the party trying
to account for his amazing success as
compared with the sense of complete
failure that he usually experienced.
The odd thing had been that of all
the guests he had met. Stella and the
Shaws were the only ones he had
known before, and the Shaws he had
met but once before. “They treated
me as If T were somebody important.
That’s why I didn’t feel shy.”
The next day Roger was too ab
sorbed with conferences and consulta
tions at the plant to worry much about
the situation, but that night when he
went to call on Stella his embarrass
ment amounted almost to humiliation.
And as hf met her In the stately old-
fashioned drawing room of her fa
ther’s house he felt all the old-time
awkwardness and self consciousness
returning.
“I’m afraid I made a fool of myself
last night.” Roger told her. “I’m sorry
for your sake.”
“Fool of yourself?” said Stella.
“You were gorgeous. Mrs. Shaw has
telephoned me twice to tell you how
wonderful you are and two of the
other people have called up to find out
how much longer you’! he here, in the
East. They’re planning to have more
parties. Mr. Mason told Mrs. Mason
you were the most brilliant young man
he’d ever met. They want you for din
ner Saturday.”
“Rut how did they—” Roger began,
and then stopped, as his eyes met
Stella’s. “What made them think I
was somebody? I felt like the worst
cheat in the world. As a matter of
fact. I’ve nothing to offer—”
“Don’t you ever say that again,
Roger True.” Stella said. “You know
what you’ve done for Durands’. I
know, because you’ve told me and be
cause my brother told me when he
wrote that you were coming on.”
“If I have done a little something
—how do they know?”
“Because I told them. I told the
Shaws that you were one of the clever
est men I knew. I told them you were
a comer, I told them that some day
you’d be famous. I told them because
I knew that if they didn’t know it to
start with they’d ignore you and that
when people ignore you, you act like
a goop. I knew that what you need
Is a press agent—”
“But, Stella, you had no right—”
Roger realized he had made a false
start. All that seemed to matter then
was that Stella thought he was some
body. Ever since he had met her he
had been fighting against his feelings
of Inadequacy, fighting against the
charm that she exerted over him—and
here she was telling him that he was
somebody, telling him he was the clev
erest man she knew.
Roger left his chair and took her in
his arms. “I can’t figure it out, Stella,”
he told her. “I know I need you. But
more than that I love vou!”

T HE woman who gives her
organs the right stimulant
need not worry about growing old.
Her system doesn’t stagnate; her
face doesn’t age. She has the health
and “pep” that come from a lively
liver and strong, active bowels.
When you’re sluggish and the
system needs help, don’t take a lot
of “patent medicines.” There’s a
famous doctor’s prescription for
just such cases, and every druggist
keeps this standard preparation. It
is made from fresh laxative herbs,
active senna, and pure pepsin. Just
ask for Dr. Caldwell’s syrup pepsin.
Take a little every day or so, until
eyety organ in your body feels the
big improvement.
The next time you have a bilious
headache, or feel all bouhd-up, talce
this delicious syrup instead of the
usual cathartic. You’ll be rid of aD
that poisonous waste, and you
haven’t weakened the bowels.You’ll
have a better appetite, and fed
better in every way. The constant
use of cathartics is often the cause of
a sallow complexion and lines in the
face. And so unnecessary!
Would you like to break yourself
of the cathartic habit? At the same
time building health and vigor that
protects you from frequent sick :
spells, headaches, and colds? Get a
big bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s syrup
pepsin today. Use often enough to
avoid those attacks of constipation. :
