FEED HORSES RIGHT AMOUNT
Pound OF Grain and Pound of Rough.
age Per 100 Pounds of Horse
Is Most Satisfactory,

One pound Of grain and one pound
of .roughage per 100 lb. of horse is
about the right amount of feed for
horses under general work conditions.
At hard work increase the grain.
When idle or doing light work, de-
crease both grain and roughage. All
alfalfa or clover is not as good as If
timothy, prairie, or oat straw, or
corn stover made up nearly half Of
the ration. Timothy hay Is standard
hay for horses, but it is because of its
usual freedom from dustiness rather
than its economic food value that
makes it so. Well cured, good quality
legume hays are better from the food
value standpoint.

Northward Flow of Rivers.

Many rivers flow north for part Of
their course, but because most of the
rivers Of the central part of the United
States are tributaries Of the Missis-
sippi. and because of the wedge shape
of the continent, not many rivers have
a general northerly course. The prin-
cipal rivers which flow north are !:
Champlain river and Lake Kanawha
river, Red River Of the North, st.
Mary's river, Kootenai river in part
and San Joaquin river.

Where has all the trimming gone?
No matter where, there is little or
none upon the modern gown. The
prophecy that this would happen was
made some time ago, but no one really
took it seriously. Even the sugges-
ton Of trimming to the well-dressed
woman is met with a frown, observes
a fashion writer in the New York
Times. After while, when we want
to be original and different, we will
adopt trimming motifs to prove our
point. Only a short while ago we
were expressing the same thing in a
wholly different way.
When there is any trimming at all.

The notice in question. Occupying

set in five poirt type. is perhaps the
longest legal notice ever published in

uously for thirteen weeks and came
to this newspaper in Il dull season
when il needed the business. That
notice has put lot of shingles on

CHEAPER LICENSE FEES
FOR DUCK SHOOTING
Nonresident Cunners To Fare Bet
ter in CurrituCk This
Season

License fees for nOn-rcSidentS of
North Carolina shooting ducks and
geese in Currituck County have been
substantially reduced for the season
of 1922-23 The fee for shooting
either from shore or ahOat for two
days only will be SO, plus the fee
of $1.0O for the clerk. The fee has
heretofore been SO. For each ad
ditional days shooting the fee will
be 81. the fee having heretofore
been so for each additional day.
For $50 and the clerks fee of 81,
a nonresident may get license to
shoot for eight days if the applicant
desires to shoot only from il bush
blind: or for SIG the buShblind
shooter can get license for the
entire season.
The fee for Il license to shoot
from shore or aflOat for the entire
season remains SO as heretofore.
The reduced fees have been fixed
by the Currituck Game Commission
with view to encouraging more
nonresident shooting during the ap-
preaching season. Numbers of Cur
rituckianS are engaged in the bust
ness OF entertaining nonresident
gunncrS and maintain expensive
equipment for the entertainment of
nonresident spOrtSmcn: but the high
licenses heretofore have done much
TO discourage nonresident gunnerS.
1t is believed that the lower fees
will mean more gunncrS. more taxes
for the cOurty and harvest for
Currituck people who make Il bust
ness of boarding and furnishing
guides and blinds for nonresident
SpOrtSmcn.
The season for ducks and geese
opens Wednesday. Nov !. and closes
OIL the 31St day of January. Two
days in the week. Wednesdays and

TIMBER INTERESTS HERE

Market For Millions of Feet Of
Scrub Pine Used In
Coal Mining

One way the great coal strike has
affected Elizabeth City and North
eastern North Carolina has not been
generally noted. Northeastern North
Carolina furnishes millions of feet of
mine props annually to the coal
mines of Virginia. West Virginia,
Ohio and Pennsylvania. The cutting
of these mine props furnishes en-
ploymcnt to much common labor and
only thru the sale of mine props can
much of the small scrub pine timber
grown in this section be prOiitabIy
disposed of. Three or four bargcS
of mine props are shipped from EIlz-
abcth City every month in normal
lines. This newspaper is informed
that only two bargcs of mine props
have been shipped from Elizabeth
City since March Il. 1927. North
eastern North Carolina lumbcrmen
are anXiOuSly awaiting the complete
settlement of the mine strike and
The resumption of mining operations.
