New Boy in "Hollow"

When Baby Hollow, the colony
officially known as Park Place,
heard that a new child had been
born Monday to Mr.. and Mrs.
D. D. Carroll, Baby Hollow drew
one concerted breath and ex-
claimed "Oh, for a girlr'
But it is not so. The new
Carroll baby is a boy. OF
course the colony will love him
when it knows him, but just
now his sex is not approved of.
The reason is that down in that
corner of Chapel Hill the boys
have IAN unfair numerical ad-
vantage. Here is the census
by families as it stands today,
with the latest Carroll counted

School Tax Election
Purpose Is to Give Country Children
Better Chance

A countrywide special school tax
not to exceed 25 cents on the 500
of assessed valuation of property
that is the proposal that. the county
commissioners are going to submit
to the voters of Orange on the third
day of July. The commissioners
will meet next Monday for the pur-
pose of issuing the formal call for
the election. If the~taX is voted,
they have agreed not to levy more
than 20 cents the first year.
The purpose Of the tax is to give
the country districts the same school
advantages the towns now have, es-
pecially a longer school year.
If the voters approve the plan, the
people in the towns of Chapel Hill
and Hillsboro, where there are al
ready special school taxes, will not
pay any more than they pay now.
That is to say, Chapel HIPS present
special school tax Of so cents will
be cut down by 20 cents, the amount
of the new tax next year; and Hills
boro's present school tax of 20 cents
will be abandoned as the new tax
goes into effect.
In the case OF CdTTOUT6'
now a special tax of IS cents, the
approval of the countrywide tax plan
will add 5 cents.
1t has been known for long
time that better school facilities
have got to be provided for the
children out in the country, else
Orange will fall badly behind in edu-
cation With the new scheme in eff
feet, all communities, no matter
how small, will share in the revenue
coming from corporate wealth such
as cotton mills, power plants, and
power lines. AS it is now, only chill
dren living in the larger places get
the full benefit Of this source of re-
venue. .t

A Big Summer School
This Years Promises TO Set Record;
Two 6-Weeks Terms

This years Summer School prom
ises te be the biggest ever. Director
N. w. Walker is getting from 20 to
% letters every day from teachers
asking him either to reserve quar-
ters for them in the University dor
mitorieg or else to find rooms for
them in the village.
The scheme of having two six
weeks term instead Of one is
meeting with general favor. It will
enable hundreds to attend who
would not find it possible to fit their
plans in with limited schedule.
Mrs. Ed. Battle has taken, for the
summer, the University's dwelling
house now occupied by Wallace f.
Caldwell, next to the Episcopal
church, and will let the rooms out to
young women students: Mrs Mar"
garet Kenny will be in charge there.
Some members of, the University
faculty will teach during both terms,
others will be here for six weeks
and away for six weeks. Of course
the summer school faculty will be
made up in part, as it always is, by
teachers from other institutions.
As incidental to the main business
Of education, an elaborate program
of lectures and musical and drama
tic entertainments is being arranged,

1t is the day of the county school
commencement Children from all
over Orange are,zo gather til there, de-
companied BY their teachers and,
many OF them, by their parents. In
the morning there will be "a parade
of children, teachers, and school
committeeman. Each school will
carry banner.
County Superintendent Ciaytor
asks the committeeman and teachers
to do all they can to stimulate in
terest in the event and to see that
all the children, and as many as
possible of the citizens in each dis
trict, come to Hillsboro.
A platform and seats will be put
up in front of the court house, and
after the parade is over there will

"The Battle Hymn of the Republic" "
The literary and athletic contests
will be held in the school "building
and on the school grounds, Most of
the contests will take place in the
afternoon.
Il feel sure" said Superintendent
Clayton yesterday, "that the teacher
in most cases will be glad to go
. back to the district in which she
taught, even if the school has closed,
and accompany the children to Hills
boro. Where the teacher cannot pos
sibly do this, the committeeman OF
somebody else shosald arraRSe to get

ALDERMEN ATTACK
TAXATION PROBLEM
New Boards First Undertaking
~-,s.
viii Be Effort To Remove
inequalities


LViVL MEIIIVU MAI De lklEU
The equalization of taxes in

undertaking of the new board
of aldermen. Not a general rails
ing or lowering, bit bit eeqqaaalliiza- eeqqaaalliiza-
tion.
1t can't be done directly.
through the towns govern
mental machinery, for the coun-
ty authorities are charged with
making assessments. But the
town administration is trying.
to work out a scheme to recon-
mend to the county.
In Chapel Hill, as in probably
all other towns on earth, there
are conspicuous inequalities. I'M
some cases plots of land of the
same size adjoining one al
mother, are down on the tan
books at widely different figures
That is the sort of thing the al
dermen are going to make an
effort to correct.
One great difficulty is assess
ing property inside the towl
and property outside on thl
same percentage of full value
For example, suppose that Cit
zen Jones has a tract of lanl
outside the limits admitted
worth $4,000, and it is asses
sed at. $4,000. If Citizen Smith
land and house inside the limit;
also worth $4,000, are assesse
at $4,000 or $4,000, then til
county, which levies both insid
and outside, gets an unfairl
large proportion of it's incon
from the town. The alderme
therefore, are seeking to ked
the percentage inside at I'll
same level that rules in the re
OF the county, as nearly as
humanity possible.
But how to arrive at the ma
ket value, which must serve
a basis? The idea that seems
be favored, as far as discussi|
has proceeded thus far, is to 1
vide the town into zones, a
then to fix a uniform value d

ORANGE FARMERS
TURN TO POULTRY
Find Good Profits in it When They
Have Large FlOcks Of
Good Breed
GOOD MARKET ALWAYS READY

Preparations are being made
for a poultry fair here next fall
to celebrate the great advance
this part of Orange county has
made in chicken-raising.
A year ago there were not
more than two or three pure
bred flocks in the country a.
round Chapel Hill. BY the mid
rdle of summer there will be g.
bout fifty. Profits made from
chickens and eggs-that is the
explanation of this remarkable
growth. The farmers are learn
ing that, with very little more
work around the place and a
very small investment, they can
add, from poultry, several hund-
red dollars to their annual in
come.
~The training given in the
Chapel Hill school has done
much to stimulate the interest
of the country folk and per-
suade them to pay more atten-
tion to poultry. Boys and girls,
sons and daughters of farmers,
have raised their own flocks and
have earned handsome returns
upon them. This makes a good
impression on the parents.
"A hundred hens on a farm" /"
says r. p. Harris, agriculture
teacher in the school, means
from $500 to $500 extra money
for the family in a year. That
is clear money over and above
all eXpenses-and the family
have very little more work to
do than if they have only few
chickens.
"The average for Orange
county is now about 30 to the
farm, and many of the fowls are
not pure-bred. 1t is a bad mis-
take, a waste, not to have pure
bred fowl. This is not guess
work; it has been demonstrated
over and over again that the
profit comes from high breeds.
"The fine thing about poul-
try-raising is that the market
is sure. Some people have the
notion that if the county gets
to producing too many eggs and
chickens, the market will be
glutted. That is all wrong. 1t is
the sections that go in strong
est for poultry that make most
from it. This is because so much
better marketing arrangements
can be made. when big quanti-
ties are dealt with.
Hrhe farmer -Oughtn't to
think poultry is work only for
the woman of the family. He
ought to pay serious attention
to it. If he only knew it, he will
often earn So from a hen when
he will go out in the field and
lose the same amount"
With any fair development of
interest and effort, Mr.. Harris
thinks, next fall ought to see
two-thirds of all the poultry in
this end of Orange county of
some high breed, and within a
few more months or a year af-
ter that practically every flock
should be pure-bred.
1.-THE climate and general con-
ditions in Orange are ideal for
poultry-raising. There are just
two things holding us back:
first, lack of knowledge OF this
branch of farming, and, second,
lack of the proper equipment,
such as incubators and brood
,ers. These two conditions are

cent word in some places, but
in Chapel Hill it is charged with
dynamite. So speak it in whis-
per.
"A year or SO ago some OF the
young women students formed
a little local club called Beta
Alpha Phi, There were in it,
among others, Miss Jane Toy.
Miss Adeline Denham, Miss
Frances Venable, Miss Laura
T h 0 m p s n, Miss Dorothy
! Greenlaw, Miss Mary Yellott,
and Miss Mildred Moss The
name Beta Alpha Phi being a
trifle formal and unwieldy, be-
fore long the club was nick
named the Boffins.
There arose the question of
getting a charter from some
natio nal sorority. Nothing
strange about that-it is the
usual process.
But the plot thickens! All of
a sudden, not long ago, there
appeared on the scene a duly
chartered, fulI-fledged national
sorority, Chi Omega. Mrs. Math-
erly, wife of a member of the
faculty Of the school of COM
merce, had already been a mem
ber before coming to Chapel
Hill, and the installation was ar
ranged through her. And when
the news burst upon the town
four other wives of members OF
the faculty had been initiated
into the mysteries of Chi One
ga-Mrs. Connor, Mrs. Steiner,
Mrs. Pierson, and Mrs. Meyer.
Such a buzz was never heard
before. The teacups ratified and
the bridge tables fairly shook
from the impact of it. In the
first place, wasn't there some
thing irregular about the en-
rollment of the women of the
faculty? Indeed there was, If
you had it from one side But
if you heard the other, what
was wrong with that? Aren' t
the males officially down on the
faculty roll taken into fraterni-
ties sometimes? And oughtn't
the wives, who stay at home and
do the cooking and housekeep-
ing, to be classed as faculty
members, too?
Then there was the question
of whether a sorority ought to
turn up this way in full regalia,
as it were, without having the
banns published. Again there is
difference of opinion. Strictly
according to Hoyle, says one
camp. In the other, heads arc
shaken disapprOvingly and it IS
declared that the only proper
way was to notify the Unlver-
sity authorities and get their
permission.
The Bofins, according to
their adherents, planned long
ago to apply to the national So
rority, Pi Beta Phi, for a char
ter, but put it off until the auth
critics were ready to say the
word. And here came in Chl u
mega almost before anybody
suspected it's intention! The al
fair was then further complicat-
ed by the reluctance of the ma
tional officers of Pi Beta Phi to
I put in a chapter at an instltu-
ton where such an awful thing
could happen.
But it appears now that the
Bofins are likely to become a
part Of Pi Beta Phi after all.

the sorority, Miss Agnes Young

piazzas. When the demands OF
| commerce slacken, Miss Gates
and Archie Paterson and Jack
Sparrow, among others, go out
and sit in their cars to read the
newspapers or chat vi t h
friends or watch the world go
by. 1t is much pleasanter than
being inside the house. tttlis
! is an advantage that Dave Nc
Cauley and Hoot Paterson and
Sampy Merritt DIDN'T enjoy a

on boxes, or in chairs tilted back
against the walls, and on a hot
day had to move this way and
that to keep a tree between
themselves and the sun.
1t used to be thought that
editors had some influence. This
one is humiliated to see that it
isn't so as far as he is concern
ed. The city manager has
patched up every street in town
except the one running by my
house. My Ford sinks so far
down into the ruts that you
barely see it above ground. But
hope springs eternal in an edi-
| tors as we'll as in human
breasts.
After he read what appeared
in this column the other day
about his old-time baseball
prowess,- Sampy Merritt told me
about the day he and some
other citizens of the town went
up and began to play on the
University diamond one Easter
Monday morning. They had the
mistaken notion that it was a
holiday. But George L. Winston,
/ then president of the Unlver-
sity, came out and chased them
off because it wasn't a holiday
and the affair might distract
the students. Sampy says he es-
capped rapidly through a holein
the fence. That was when the
athletic field was where the
gymnasium now stands.
James C. Taylor, who lived
here many years and was cash
ier of the Bank of Chapel Hill,
dropped into town Saturday. He
had been in Hillsboro on busi-
ness and took this occasion to
greet his friends in Chapel
Hill and see the Carolina-State
College baseball game in the
afternoon.
He was looking fit and happy.
This was his first visit here
sice his European tour OF a year
ago. He was enthusiastic in re-
calling his cruise on the En-
press of France. The party went
to Italy, Turkey, Palestine, and
Egypt, and took a run up to
