Letting the Chicks
Have a Free Range

At this season of the year great
deal is heard about leg weakness.
There is nothing that will help leg
weakness so quickly and effectually rs
letting the chickens have free range.
The contact with mother earth seems
to work wonders in the cure of many
ailments to chicks. If they are little
chicks in the brooder, see that the
temperature is right, and let them out
into their runs as quickly as possible.

] don't get half dozen irate letters
asking me to write an article telling
the woman who has got husband
and a home to stay In 1T and leave
the pay envelope to the spinster. These
writer's invariably say they have been
forced out of their Jobs by married
women, and that 1t is a shame and
an outrage for women with husbands
to compete in the labor market with
women who. are husbandless. Also
they charge that employers prefer mar
ried women to single women.
Stuff and nonsense! So far as l can
see, there is no more reason why the
married woman who wants to work,
and who can turn out work that other
people are wiling to pay for, shouldn't t
work than there is why a married
man shouldn't. When you hire a book
keeper, or carpenter, or a plumber,
you don't consider whether he Is mar
ried or single, but the kind of work he
does.
We don't patronize Mr.. Smiths
butcher shop because he has a wife
and six children, while the rival
butcher, Mr.. Jones. is. unmarried, with
nobody but himself to support.
We go to the butcher shop where
we get the best meat for our money.
without reference to the matrimonial
status of the men who run them. 1t
would be just as logical for all married
men to cry out that bachelors shouldn t
be allowed to go into business as it

SEABOARD MAY RELOCATE
Preliminary Survey Of Engineer Looks
Encouraging. Relocation would
Eliminate Bad Curve

Mr.. Hughes, one of the Sea-
board Air Lines engineers was
here on Monday and Tuesday
making an extensive survey of
the towns and environs with a
view to ascertaining the probable
route of the Seaboard Air Line
tracks if relocated and the cost
of making this change.
This survey, as will be recalled,
is the result of the visit here of
Messrs. Cheatham, James and
Darden some weeks ago. At that
time the question of relocating
the tracks of the Seaboard SO
that a passenger station could be
placed somewhere in reach of the
population was taken up with
these gentlemen.
Mr.. Hughes states that in his
opinion the change would be
advantageous from the railroads
point of view, provided the relo-
Gated tracks crossed Roanoke
Avenue somewhere between
Eighth and Tenth Streets. This
relocation would cut out a bad
curve between here and Boiling
and would shorten the track to
some extent.
The right of way stated above
would also have the advantage of
grade, only one fill being neces-
sary in the whole line. Mr.. Hughes
also went over the ground near
Roanoke Rapids and decided that
the project of bringing the rail-
road through Roanoke Rapids
proper was not feasible.
The proposed line would cross
Roanoke Avenue about two blocks
and a half below Patterson
Store Company towards Roam
oke Rapids and the shorten the
present distance from. Roanoke
Rapids to the passenger station
by nearly half.
This relocation would be of i'm
mense advantage to the whole
section of the community. Mr..
Hughes, of course, was unable to
state what action the Seaboard
officials would take in the matter
but in view of the favorable re-
port he will render on the pro-
position, the situation looks very
encouraging.
A new passenger station
Roanoke Avenue, between he
and Rosemary may become
accomplished fact after all.

lapse before the matters
one way or the other.
