Mr. and Mrs. ID. L. Sheldon, Mrs.
G. II. Paulsen, and Frederick w.
Morrison, made a tour of five
schools in the township last week
to set going a movement for more
and better music in the schools.
They talked to teachers and pu-
pills about the plan, and at each
school trey illustrated their ideas
by gathering the children together
for choral singing. Some of the
boys and girls sang solos.
There are to be singing contests
in all the schools Of the county dur
ing the next few weeks, ending up
with the final contest at the county
commencement in Hillsboro in
May But this is not to end the
movement. Entertainments are
to be organized, and the work Of
training the children in. music will
be pursued regularly in the future.

WILL HAVE A FAIR
Boys and Girls viii Exhibit Livestock
and Poultry on School Grounds
Early in May
MUCH ENTHUSIASM OVER PLAN

The agriculture department of
the Chapel Hill school is going to
have what is called a project
fair, on the school grounds in the
first part Of May.
1t will be something like the reg
ulsr county fair, the difference be-
ing that here the special object is
to exhibit the result of school chill
dren's work and to stimulate them
to still more fruitful efforts in
farming and the raising Of live
stock and po1ftry.
Although most of the exhibits
will be made by the boys and girls,
any citizen of Orange who wants
to is invited to join in the show.
There will be displayed about
30 pure-bred Jersey animals, in
Guiding young bulls, heifers, and
cows. Portions of flocks of poul-
try will be on exhibition, too, and
specimens of grain and vegetables
that show the result of up-todate
methods Of cultivation.
"This sort of demonstration will
undoubtedly be an incentive to the
school children" "said r. P. Harris,
the agriculture teacher, yesterday
prizes are to be given, and nat
urally there is eagerness to win
them. Then, every exhibitor will
see what the others are doing. and
there will be an interchange of re-
ports. The boys and girls are
already enthusiastic over the idea,
and | believe the success of the
fair is assured. We hope to make
it an annual event, with exhibitors
increasing in number year by
year. "

MAC RAE WILL PUT UP STORE
Brick Building to Replace Wooden

4 Cameron MacRae, son of Mrs.
Robert s. MacRae and brother of
Mrs. George Elliott, has decided to
put up a brick building on the
post-office corner, replacing the
wooden structure in which Jacob
Thomas now runs store.
Mr.. MacRae, a native of Chapel
Hill, an alumnus of the University
and an ex-varsity football player,
is now in business in Concord. It
has been known for some time that
he was considering the erection of
a modern building on this corner,
but he did not make the final de-
cision until a few days ago. He
was here last week to look into the
matter CT the demand for stores
and rooms, end to arrange details
of construction.
The plot has frontage of about
25 feet on Franklin street, and
takes in, on Henderson street. the

This is not settled. The upper

safeguarding the public health.
But it is better still to keep the

Chickens Are Raiding Gardens;
Annual Spring Warfare Is On
Fowl Not Fenced Feed Vegetable Not
Their Support. Owners Liable To Fine Of SIS.

chickens have dwelled therein, gaz-
ing wistfully toward the Mangum
garden but never emerging from
the enclosure except to their death.
1t was not more than a week or
so after the visit of DR.. Mangum
to the mayors Office that the alder
men adopted the present ordi-
nance.
Such action as has been taken
by outraged gardeners this spring
has been of the direct sort. For
example, one professor and his
wife, who dwell on the east edge
of town, becoming weary of the
fruitlessneSs of protests, slaugh-
tered a fat visiting hen the other
day, cooked it, and ate it. Whether
or not they paid the owner it is not
recorded, but they are said to have
told a friend that this hen had
already eaten, on their premises,
fully as much as it was worth.
There are many treasured, anec-
dotes of the depredationS upon
Chapel Hill gardens. One is of
Professor AS duck who persisted
in visiting the lot of Professor B.
Three protests were made, each a
little more positive than the one
before. But the duck still came.
AT last Professor B had the duck
killed and sent over in a basket
to Professor A s home. Mrs. Pro
feSsor A then had the duck skill
fully cooked, reinforced it with de-
licious stufing and sauce, and sent

change was carried on in the ut
most good humor-which cannot
be said of all the negotiations con
cerning chickens in this town.
Some of the chicken growers in
Chapel Hill enclose their focks in
stout wire, and industriously chase
down and re-imprison the adven-
turOus birds who escape. Others
content themselves with. delivering
their chickens a lecture from the
kitchen doorstep and trusting
them to obey The citizens who
adopt this latter method declare
that they express themselves in the
simplest and most emphatic Ian
@uagc. How then can they be
blamed if the chickens decline to
heed their commands?

CANkDVkU nUfEUL
FOR WATER SUPPLY
Under New Plan, the University May
Possibly Run Main Through
the Town
FILTERINC RAISES QUESTION

AS the day Of the meeting of the
building committee Of the Univer-
sity trustees draws near, the peo-
pie of Carrboro are becoming
more and more interested in the
question of water supply.
1t is settled that the University,
which also supplies the town Of
Chapel Hill, has got to have more
water, and it seems pretty certain
that it has got to, come from
creek that runs on the other side
of Carrboro from the campus. If
the stream is tapped at the place
where most folk expect it will be,
then the main will run straight
through the mill community. ~.
At first thought, it seems quite
simple to take water out of the
main, provided there is enough
water to spare. But the question
of filtering arises. The filter plant
is on the campus, and if Carrboro
took the water on the way from
creek to campus it would be tax
ing the unfiltered product. How,
then, to get filtered water7 There
have been two suggestions. One is
that a separate plant be construct
ed the other is that the water pass
through the present filter and on
back to Carrboro.
The latter scheme would seem to
require an expensive duplication of
pipes; but for a good part of the
distance the main now in service,
running from the creek that passes
under the railway track northwest
of Chapel Hill, could be used. 1t
is said, by those who argue for the
concentration Of ALI filtering on the
campus, that it would be more ex-
pensive to construct and operate a
separate plant than it would be to
buy and lay the additional main
necessary to carry the water back
to CarrborO.
Which course is the more eco
nomical will be decided by the
trustees building committee-that
is, if they decide in the first place
that the new supply will be ade-
quate. for the increased demand
upon it.
If the water should be made
available, the town of Carrboro
would have to issue bonds, p8ssi-
bly, to the amount of $25, ,000, for
side-street mains and for sewer
lines. All or a considerable part
of these bonds would be of the self
supporting variety ;~that is, there
would be regular payments by con
sumers of water to meet interest
and sinking fund charges.
