Cedar Grove School
New Building to BE Ready About
February lst.

1t is expected that the new
school building near Cedar
Grove will be ready for occu-
pancy about the first of Febrll-
ary. This building contains
eight classrooms, a large stage,
and an auditorium. 1t will have
a heating plant, sewage dis
posal, electric lights, running
water and, when completed, will
be one of the best school bull
dings in this county.
The school site contains five
acres of level land which is suf-
ficient for Fairgrounds. At
ter this year several smaller
schools nearby will be discon-
tinued and the children who live
too far to walk will be transport
ed to and from school in school
trucks. This consolidation will
not take place this year, how
ever, as no provision has been
made for transportation. Local
tax has been voted for the main
tenance of an eight-months
term. This school should with
in two or three years become a
standard high school.

Howell Visits Emerson

K. Vernon Howell, dean of the
school Of pharmacy in the Uni
Versity, is on a visit this week
at Arcadia, the South Carolina

Menus On Collars
Innovation at Feast Where Mr.. Paul
sen Is Host

G. H. Paulsen, who is always
springing something new on the
community, scored again last
Friday night at the annual
week before Christmas feast to
the force of the University laun-
dry. The party was given in
the Gooch banquet hall.
Mr.. Paulsen had the menus
written out on starched collars
just the plain article Of COM
merce. The ends of each collar
were held together by a button,
and the diner slipped it up over
his coat sleeve as a sort of ex-
terror cuff.
1t was a fine blowout. Char
lie Gooch was there in person
experimenting the distribution
of chicken gumbo aux croutons,
roast chicken, sky-blue whipped
cream, and all the rest of the
dainties.
The guests of honor were Rev.
A. S. Lawrence, H. D. Meyer, H.
F. Conner, and A. 3. Smart, man
ager of a laundry in Durham, p.
c. Froneberger, by reason of his
success as University cheer
leader, was invited to serve as
toastmaster. He gave a much
less acrobatic performance than
he is accustomed to display at
football games, but none the less
effective. There were 80 laun-
dry workers present, II of
whom were se!f-help students.
The cashier, Mrs. Evelyn Smith,
made speech in which she told
that the University handled
$4,000 pieces Of clothing a week
and had lost only II this entire
falkland most Of these q were
recovered in the end.
Mr., Conner, in his talk, said
that Of the 2,20Q students in
the University 1900 earned part
or all Of their expenses by do
ing various kinds Of jobs.

support while she is away as
well as toward the sanatorium

After her husband died net
long ago, she and her children
were taken into the home Of her
sister and her sisters husband,
who themselves have four chill
dren. The man, a workman re-
ceiving pay of less than $20 a
week, has been struggling to
maintain both families, but of
course it is a burden that is too
heavy for him.

State Gets Boys Records

The records of the farming
enterprises of about 60 boys of
the Chapel Hill school will be
sent to the States agricultural
department in Raleigh within a
few days. Every boy who takes
the agricultural course has to
carry on an enterprise of his
own. He is required to keep a
record of just what he does, how
much he spends, and how much
money he takes in from the sale
of his product. This is in line
with the plan of the State gov
ernment to encourage business
like farming methods.

NORTH ORANGE
CREAM ROUTE
Will Run From HillsbOrO to St.
Mary's and Thence Along
Schley Road
BURLINGTON THE MARKET

A new cream route has been
established in the northern
part Of Orange county. It will
run from Hillsboro to St. Mary's
schoolhouse, thence to the
Schley road, and along the
Schley road to Hillsboro.
The collection of sour cream
is to begin at once. The Bur-
lington creamery, where the
farmers around Chapel Hill
have been selling their cream,
will be the market. 1t will take
all the sour cream north Or
ange people offer, and will pay
them good prices based upon the
d content of butter fat.
Years ago there was a cream
route in the upper end of the
county, but it was discontinued.
The recent success of the cow
owners around Chapel Hill,
which has demonstrated the
success Of the scheme, is large
ly responsible for the revival.
A. C. Kinney, the assistant
State director of dairy exten-
sion, went over the ground this
week and, as a result of his trip,
is enthusiastic about the pros
poets.
II don't know any region that
has a better chance to make q
success of dairying than north
Orange" said Mr.. Kinney yes
terday. ''The soil is rich, the
grazing plentiful, the climate
Just right. Not even the Sec
tions which have made the
greatest success of butter-pro-
duction are superior to the
country saw here this week. "
1t is calculated that there are
along the new route 100 cows
all of whose product should be
available for the market. These
are over and above the so that
are needed to supply the farm
ers all they need for their own
home consumption.
What has been done around
Mooresville in Iredell county
shows what can be accomplish
ed in Orange. Ten years ago
a creamery was established
there. The first churning turn
ed out 30 pounds of butter. To-
day $4,000 a month, or about
S150,000 a year, is paid to the
farmers around Mooresville by
he creamery. This is in a ter
ritory smaller than Orange coun-
ty and no more favorable to
dairying.

Extending Campus Track

The railway track over which
University building materials
are hauled is being extended
across the Raleigh road to
where new dormitories are un-

of the classroom buildings the

pass along the edge of the ath-
letlc field and cross the road a
hundred yards or so south of

OAANs SAASN AAAAG@o OA1 A1AGNAAd
The suggestion that the Uni
versity should have a great sta
dunn, to accommodate the ever
growing crowds at athletic con-
tests, continues to bring forth
messages Of approval from
alumni.
approvalfrom alumni.
Angus Wilton Mclean writes
from his home~ in Lumberton:
Il have read your editorial about
the stadium with great interest
and | am in hearty accord with
it. AS | stated before the Alum
nj Association in Fayetteville in
October. | believe that in ten
years the University will have
at least 5000 students, and that
the attendance will steadily in
crease in future years. Athletic
contests will grow in import
ance as the University expands.
| believe it is only a question of
time when a larger place to
stage these contests will be a
prime necessity. Even now, the
present facilities are entirely
inadequate"
George Stephens of Ashe-
vile, a former University ath-
lete and for the last score of
years one of the most active
men in alumni affairs, writes
that the idea ought to be "put
across" without delay.
Mr., Stephens letter will be
published in the next issue of
the Weekly, two weeks hence.
General Julian S. Carr is an
other who is strong for it. 10y
al citizen of Durham though he
is, ne is not in sympathy with
the proposal that his home city
should attempt, by building a
stadium, to draw thither the
University's big games.
"The University by all odds
is the place to erect the stadium
or bowl" he writes to the edi-
tor. Tell Greensboro and Dur
ham to keep off the grass. The
rest OF General Carr's letter is
as follows:
i quote from your editorial
these words: We simply must
have an enclosure adequate for
the accommodation of vaster
crowds than have gathered thus
far ! have been absent from
nome, and so was unable to give
endorsement earlier to your wise
plan. A stadium at Durham or
al Greensboro does not meet the
question at all. We must have

versity's needs. ! believe that

Chapel Hill ChaG

The other night at the supper
of the Mems Club the president,
Rev. A. S. Lawrence, looked
around in search of somebody
to lead off with the singing.
His eye lit upon our table, and
he said: 'Mr. Toy, will you
start US on There's long, long
trail a-winding'?" Now, Mr..
Carter, who is by way of being
celebrated singer, was sitting
next to the professor Of German,
and ! thought he looked bit
surprised that the invitation fell
upon a pew-sitter instead of a
choir-sitter. Mr.. Toy was ac-
commodating abut it, but visibly
embarrassed. He did we'll with
the job, but believe he would
rather it fall to Mr.. Carter the
next time.
