Watershed Report
Will Be Detailed
Data on General Condition and POpu-
Iation of the Local Water Shed

The work Of getting up a complete
report of conditions throughout the
High Point watershed is rapidly go
ing forward under the direction of
City Health Officer E. 1. Mungo.
Mr. Mungo states that the circuit,
which is nearly 40 miles around, en-
braces all possible water from Deep
River and it's branches for many miles
above the pumping station. He is
getting up detailed information of the
number Of families in the watershed,
the number of cattle, hogs, and
whether the supply of drinking water
plete population of the watershed will
be known and the approximate NUM-
ber of animals. In cases Of typhoid or
other sickness where the water might
be responsible it will then be sim
pie matter to investigate the sources
of supply for any particular locality
In telling of the condition as he
found them in the watershed Mr.. Mum
go brought out fact that seems to
be true of people as whole. High
Pointers stand UP in Indignation when
the city water becomes a little pol
luted yet permit citizens Of the city
to so live that they are the cause of
the pollution. Mr.. Mungo has found
that contamination does not come
from that source. Barns and barn
yards are kept clean, springs and
wells are carefully cleaned and even
in cases where the 'constitutionality
of the law that makes them do it is
questioned the farmers are cleaning
up stagnate places in order that the
water High Pointers drink may be
pure.
This is not true in two sections of
the city which form the border on
two sides. Difficulty comes when an
officer tries to bring about changes
for the benefit Of the city. Filth is
not frowned upon and only luck and
constant attention on the part of the
officials keeps the city from endanger-
in gitself
In other words the city health of
fcer has found that the city people
who are within the bounds of the
watershed must be educated and COM
PEELED to keep their surroundings san
itary so that the careful cooperation
of the country people may amount to
something.
Of interest also was this officers
statements regarding the supply of
water. At times the stream that runs
into the pumping station is SO small
that a person can easily jump across
it. Fhe city is not getting any small
er and no noticeable increase in the
size of Deep River has been recorded
by the oldest inhabitants. It will not
be long until High Points water sup
ply will have to be gathered from the
present and other sources.

Band Concerts to
Have Benches Now
committee Community Service Has
Arranged to Place Seats on
City Lot

In the future those people attend
ing the free band concerts in the city
band stand on North Main street
who do not have autos to occupy will
have benches of adequate size to be
comfortable.
The parks and Fairgrounds COM
mittee of the Community service
headed by Miss Nellie Muse, has Sc
cured donations for the purpose and
has ordered benches for use at the
band stand. Local manufacturers and
citizens have responded literally by
giving benches and seats of six feet
length and of wrought iron frame,
making them permanent, for use by
public.
Not only will the grove and these
seats be used for band concerts but
now that seats have been ordered,
which will be placed next week, this
spot of the city offers a rest place to
farmers and their wives and to anv-
one else who really deserves a place
of the kind.
High Point as a city has never seen
ut to supply such conveniences for
those who come to the city and this
effort on the part of the above com
mlttee takes the city just one step
higher in its endeavor to keep the h1-
man side of life up with the great
it is making financially.

A Curiosity in An Egg

J. L. Sechrest, of this city, was eX-
hibiting a ''2 in ~ egg Monday that
who saw it. The egg proper was the
size OF a goose egg-that is, the out
side shell, because within this she'll
was another egg of normal size and
the white part of the egg was be-
tween the outside shell and the shell
of the normal egg.
We have heard of double eggs, large
eggs, small eggs, marked eggs and
rotten eggs, but never before q ''2 in
l" egg such as Mr. Sechrest's hen laid,
and be it understood that the hen is
perfectly normal as far as known and
is doing we'll slice her-wonderful feat.

A Glance at the Markets,

CThe Market Reporter, May 14)
Live stock markets during the week
under review gave evidence of a
frmer undertone than for some time
and prices of most classes except
matured sheep and spring lambs
made advances. The fresh-meat
trade witnessed declines on the east
ern markets, while Chicago prices
were steady to higher.
The recent upward trend of grain
prices, which reached the high point
on May came to a halt at the close
of the week.
Fruit and vegetable markets were
featured by liberal car-lot movement
due to the early season. Prices for
most lines were higher.
Butter markets developed a some
what more steady tone and the de-
clines of recent weeks were halted.
Cheese prices slumped to the lowest
levels since 1915. Egg markets were
steadier under better storing demand.
Light demand and very limited
trading continued to characterize the
hay markets. Feed markets are still
dull, though some feeds sold at
slightly higher prices.
Seed markets continued inactive.
Stocks of red clover continued to be
imported.
Cotton prices continued the adj
vances begun the previous week.
Spot sales continued good.
