Shull Writes Howell
Football Star of '98 Suggests
Reunion Next Week

Next Thursday will be the
twenty-fifth anniversary of Car
OIina's first football victory over
Virginia. On Thanksgiving
Day of 1898, in Richmond, Yer
non Howell, now dean of the
pharmacy school, ran a zigzag
course down the length of the
field for a touchdown, and the
final score was 6 to 2. (Six
years before, in 1892, Carolina
won from Virginia 26 to 0, in a
post-season exhibition game in
Atlanta, but had already been
beaten by it's rival in the regu-
lar match the same season, so
that the Atlanta victory, strict
ly speaking, didn't county,
Mr.. Howell received yesterday
a letter from Mike Shull-now
a grave and reverend judge in
Pennsylvania, who was a men,
ber of that champion '98 team,
proposing a reunion at next
weeks Carolina Virginia game.
"Do you remember" asks
Mike, when Mink Cunningham
and Tony Alderman hugged each
other in the lobby, of the JEFF
ferson hotel in Richmond? And
when Ike Phifer Skinned up the
balcony in the same lobby? And
do you remember that Billy
Noble led the procession Of JOY
Gus Tar Heels through and
around the hotel? Do you re-
member the reception at Chapel
Hill on our return there?
"Has it occurred to. you that
the pleasure of getting the old
gang together might be worth
the effort at a '98 team reunion
in in Chapel Hill this FThanksgiv-
ing Day?"
After asking which, the Judge
goes on to say that he is ar
ranging the reunion and wants
Mr.. Howell to be sure to be on
hand. Mr.. Howell answers yes.

Jersey Oomevy Meet at Feast

Gather Chapel Hill School and Talk Advantages BOOde
Cattle. Alex McIver Gives Record of Cows

the meeting, had hung on the
walls a lot of posters, in red
ink, telling about Jerseys and
their prowess in producing rich
milk. One of these displays was
a list of the Jersey owners in
southern Orange, with the num-
ber of cows, bulls, and calves
owned by each. There are 81
owners, and they have "a cows,
Is bulls, and II calves. The
total value of them is put at
$6,O85.
Don't Starve a Good Cow"
was one of the red-ink headlines,
followed by the sort of daily
menu that a farmer should pro-
vide for his herd. Nearby this
was the sign: "Dairying-the
Most Profitable andd Highly De-
veloped System of Farming"
The reasons for the Jersey
owners organizing were listed
as follows: "first, to makea care
full study of our problems; sec
ond, to make Orange county
farmers 100 per cent Jersey
owners; third, efficiency in ad-
vertiSing and marketing"
Here are the farmers who at
tended the supper:

Owners of Jersey cattle, from
all over the southern half of Or
ange county, came together a
IA supper in the school building
the other night. A picture of {
Jersey COW was posted at the
head of the table, and through
out the evening all did honor tt
the breed.
1t was an enthusiastic gather
ing. They decided to form the
Orange County Jersey Breeders
Club, and elected Harmon Nc
Iver president and F. w. Winn
Jr., secretary. The organiza
tion is going to spread the doc
trine of blooded cattle-try tt

well at raising Jerseys as Mis-

LOOK FOR GOOD
POULTRY WINTER
Chicken Breeders Order One
Day-Old Chicks, High
ROOsters, and IncubatOrs
WILLS MAKES READY

It looks as if this were going
to be a fine winter for poultry
in and around Chapel Hill.
The people hereabouts. are
learning that, if they get high
bred fowls and feed and care for
them well, profits are sure to
come.
An order for 500 one-day-old
chicks for Dwight Ray of Carr
boro is about to he placed, eth
er in Kentucky or Missouri.
They will arrive in December,
will be fed high for eight weeks,
and will then be sold for eating.
Mr.. Ray, who is a former high
school student, will keep the
flock in the back yard of Ernest
Hearn in Carrboro.
He is being assisted in the
project by R. P. Harris. They
are to keep an accurate record
of food consumed, losses from
death, expenses of marketing,
and prices obtained, so that will
know at the end just what the
net profits are.
H. c. Wills, the hardware
merchant, has bought a 600-egg
incubator. Out at his new place
at the west end of McCauley
street he has now ample space,
all wired in, for his activities in
poultry. He has a new brooder
house and an incubator room.
Mr.. Wills has applied many of
his own original ideas in per-
fecting his buildings and equip
ment.
Mrs. N. G.. L. Patterson in
town, and Mrs. Jesse Neville
and Mrs S. M. Oldham in the
country, are buying some Barred
Rock rosters from the White
farm in Mebane. They already
have flOcks of hens of that
breed. Monday Mr.. Harris stop
ped in front ef Euhanks, drug
store with two roosters in his
Ford car-one high-bred and
one low-bred one.
"That common one there" he
said, twill sell for around S1.5O
as food, and the other costs
only about so cents more. Yet.
as breeders, there is all the
difference in the world between
them. 1t is foolish waste not to
buy the high-bred fowls when
you are to keep them with a
flock"

TWO YEARSTO
BUILD CHURCH
Episcopal Rector Says This Is
Liberal Estimate of Time Re-
quired to Complete Job
1T MAY BE DONE SOONER

AS people pass along East
Franklin street and see the con-
struction OF the new Episcopal
church definitely under way,
they are asking how long it will
take to complete the work. ,
Two years is the period esti-
mated by Rev. Alfred S. Law
renee for the entire job. This is
a liberal estimate, allowing for
the delays that are inevitable in
any such project. The contrac-
ftor, J. L. Grouse of Greensboro,
expects to finish his work in
about year, but there will re-
main the furnishing, the setting
in of memorial windows, and
many finishing touches that
can hardly be foreseen. 1t
would not surprise Mr.. Law
renee, he says, if it were all
done in 18 or 20 months, but in
predicting he prefers to give a
margin.
The total cost of church and
parish house will be about $780,
900, the church requiring $685.
900 and the parish house
$37,000.~>W. A. Erwin of Dur
ham is donating the main bull
ding as a memorial to his grand
father, William r. Holt, who
was graduated from the Univer-
sity 106 years ago this year.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars is
still to be raised to complete the
fund needed for the parish
house, !
! For the benefit of the former
citizens of Chapel Hill who have
not kept informed of the plans,
it is again stated that the pres
ent church will remain as it is.
Strengthening of the tower is
found to be necessary, but this
will be done without any change
in its exterior-somewhat in the
same manner, probably, as the
Old East building on the cam
pus is now being preserved in
it's original form.
/ Landscaping is already in
progress. Scores of wagon
loads of dirt have been hauled
in, and the low ground to the
west of the church, which was
formerly a part of Mrs. Barbee's
pasture, is being filled in and
leveled. Grass will be planted
here, and path will be led
straight through from the
street to the campus, with a
branch curving around the rear
of the parish house.
C. A. Herrin, the superintend-
ent for the contractor, has
moved to Chapel Hill with his
family and is occupying one of
the Berman houses in the west
end of the town.

StrOwd Behind Scenes
Visits Miss Lay and Sees Many Other
Pretty Actresses

Robert l.. Strowd, Chapel
Hills capitalist, banker, land
owner, and all-around leading
citizen-not long ago postmas-
ter put now free to rove around
to Arkansas, New York and
other interesting spots-was
seen lowering about the stage
entrance of New York theatre
the other day. A few minutes
later the door opened to him
and he was admitted back of
the scenes.
No, Mr.. StroWd was not TAX
ing Miss Tootsie Twinkletoes

other Broadway deiicacies, If
any censorious persons arises
and wants to throw him out of
the church. that person will be
going off half-cocked and will
be sorry he spoke. Mr.. Strowd
was simply paying call upon
Miss Nancy Lay, sister of Mrs.
Paul Green and Miss Lucy Lay
who live in one of his houses at
the east end of town. She is
appearing in the musical COM
edy, Poppy"

you it was worth the trip. | got
in just as all those pretty girls
were trooping out. 1t was about
five o'clock in the afternoon, af-
ter the matinee. That night |
saw them in the play, and I'm
proud to tell you that Miss
Nancy was easily the prettiest
of the lot"
At the play Mr.. Strowd sat
in a box with Fred Morrison, the
school principal, who is taking
graduate work this year in
Teachers College, Columbia
University. Mr.. Morrison re-
ported that he was having a
fine time in the big city but,
none the less, was painfully
homesick at times.
Mr.. StroWd stayed at the
Pennsylvania Hotel. big
enough" he describes it," to
take in all the people of Chapel
Hill, give them all a private bath
each, and then have rooms and
baths enough left over for us
folks down in Couch'7y-n and a
part of the population of Carr
boro."

Chapel Hill ChaG

Here was l, last week, in a
piece about peoples manner of
walking,v alluding to J. G. de
'Roulhac Hamilton's rhythmic
swing" Now he has got him
a four-door sedan and will al
most never be seeing that swing
again.
In the statement of the town
of Chapel Hills revenues for
the year 1922-1923, l notice
that the levy on dogs brought
in $35. The statutory tax on
each dog in the confines of the
town is 81. Now, / have more
than 35 personal acquaintances
among the canine population.
You have to make your way
through a press of dogs when
ever you fare forth from your
dwelling. Postscript: l have
a sinking feeling that l myself
may have been among the de-
linquents on the dog tax; but
our dog is no more, having been
killed by an automobile, so the
taX-gatherer can't get me now.)
The road now under construc-
ton around the Battle Book
err place is going to be one of
the most useful thoroughfares
in the village. 1t will make a
junction with the main street
between DR.. LaWson's and Mr..
Kennette's. (For the benefit of
old-timers, | will explain. that
this means between the Basker-
vile house and the house built
by F. K. Ball and afterWard oc-
cupied by Judge MacRae). The
new road will sweep around
southwest and come into the
Cameron avenue extension, thus
giving easy access to the cam
pus from the east end and from
Durham.
When a lot of real "dirt farm
ers" gathered at the school the
other night to eat supper and
to talk about Jersey cattle,
they ran into the final dress
rehearsal of the Carolina Play
makers. The makeup room
happened to be close to to the sup
per room, with the door open,
and r. l.. Pickens sat at a ta-
,le and turned himself from a
5tudent literary man into the

put on his false mustaches and

real farmers stood in the door
and gazed at him with amaze

not they knew what sort of part
he was to play. At this half
way stage of makeup he might
have been taken for a Wild

IF | were this Bob Pickens'
father and had seen him in &C
ton with the Playmakers last
week l believe I would try to
make an actor of him, for he did
exceedingly well. But hear the
elder Mr.. Pickens is a Metho-
dist minister, and so | doubt if
he will look with favor on the
stage as a profession for his
son.

BOY BROKER

A hoy broker" in Chicago has
dropped the final "r" from his
title and thrown himself on tho
mercy of the court, estimating
his assets at $125,000 and his
liabilities at $4,000,00O.
Brokers, you know, are men
who handle other peoples moneY
in speculative transactions. Since
it isn't every one OF US who can
get the use of Si,000,000 of other
peoples money to risk on our
own judgment, some few may
wonder how this broker, so youth
full that he was known as a boy
did it. The secret is this: he
assured them he could make huge
profits for them.

IF FRANCE FAILS, WHAT
NEXT?

Thus far the French occupation
of the Ruhr has largely justified
the predictions as TO its unwls-
dom. The net effect up to this
time, apparently, has been the
production Of chaos instead OF
coal, of industrial revolution in
stead Of repatriation. On the sur
face the movement impresses the
distant observer, at least, as a
great blunder of policy which has
been emphasized BY singular
bunglirg in execution. AS a mere
business proposition it seems
clearly to have overlooked all the
elements of the obvious, to have
disregarded and been unprepared
for what was to be expected, for
the almost certain difficulties that
such a task involved. As we see
it through the glasses Of those on
the spot, the French seem to have
had no definite plan of procedure.
TO scientific program of produe-
ton or administration, should
their military gesture fail or meet
with the obstinate resistance which
it was reasonable to anticipate.
Such a supposition is hardly
credible in the case of clear-head-
ed thinkers like the French, unless
we interpret the Ruhr movement
