Towns Building Operations
Amount to About 81, ,345,OOO

An estimate made by H. D.
Carter, Of the Atwood-Nash
staff, places the value Of build
ings in Chapel Hill, just COM
pleted, in process of erection,
and planned, at S1,345,000.
"Of course this does not pre-
tend to be exact" says Mr.. Car
ter. "But it is close enough to
give a pretty fair idea of the
extent of building activity on
the campus and in the town
this summer"
University buildings-the
chemistry hall, the three new
mems dormitories, the women'S
building and the alteration of
the old Law building into a
theatre for the Playmakers-
account for $660,OOO, the Caro-
lima Inn for around 1925, ,OO0,
and the Episcopal church and
parish house for $15O,OO0.
Brodie Thompson is going to
put up a brick structure on the
old Tankersley lot for the Chap
ell Hill Insurance and Realty
Company, the first floor to be
used as an addition to the Uni
versity cafeteria. Bruce Strowd
has asked for bids on his new
garage at the corner of Colum-
bia and Franklin streets. The
Chapel Hill Weekly's new brick
building, on Rosemary street
back of the Peoples Bank, is
expected to be completed early
in September.
Out in the new Gimghoul de-
velopment the Peacock, the
Trimble, and the Carroll homes
are already under way, and
Daniel l.. Grant, r. C. Atwood.
and j. F. Bynum will start build
ing there soon. Mr.. Atwood is
to put up a two-family bung-
allow.
W. S. Bernard's house ON

This Boy Made Money
Zen Rose Strowd Did We'll Win
One-Day-Old Chicks

Ben Rose Strowd, II years
old, a student in the Chapel Hill
school, bought 180 one-day-old
chicks about two months ago,
for $72. He installed a brooder
in an abandoned clubhouse ON
the farm of his father, Carl
Strowd, out near Frosty, and of
the 480 chicks he lost only 16.
The other day he turned
over to r. p. Harris, for market
ing, the 234 roosters. They
were sold to Gooch's Cafe, the
Carolina Cafeteria and other
places in Chapel Hill, and some
of them in Durham, at good
prices.
Young Strowd kept the 230
pullcts, and the chances are
that he will get from them eggs
to the value Of 500 a month
for year.
"lle has already received Of
fers," says Mr.. Harris chat
would enable him to. cIoae out
today at n clear profit Of $2o0
for the two months; bat by
keeping the puIIcts and going
IN for egg production, he will
do much better than that. Pro-
per feeding and intelligent care
of the chickens are responsible
for his success"

Summer Buzz
By Betsy Lake

They say some Of the Sum-
mer School girls wanted to stay
over after the first term, just to
peep into the fraternity houses.
1t seems that, this was forbidden
ground while they We're attend
ing classes. But as soon as the
girls awakened the morning
after the examinations were
over, books packed, everybody's
silk stockings hopelessly mix
ed with ererybody's else, presto!
the interesting abodes of their
swains had become just ordi-
nary houses of wood and brick.
The porches, on a close inspect
ion, were scattered with Just
the plain variety of cigarette
ashes, and somehow the chairs
in Paradise seemed bit in
need of paint. The forbidden
fruit was found to be, as usuay,
only an apple.
Mark Twain frankly admit
ted that he was afraid to leave
a German opera to go out to
lunch with the crowd because
he knew that he'd never have
the courage to come back. Be-
ing a genius, he could afford to
publish his weaknesses. But
most people with hurdy-gurdy
tastes, which ought to be CALI
Curci cravings, feel as if they
must hide their blight under a
bushel. The Summer School now
teaches teachers how to teach
children to appreciate good
music. Yet we used to think a
musical soul as much a gift
from heaven as curly hair.
Shakespeare or was it Solo
mon?- said, Music has charms
to soothe the savage breast.
But has it? | mean good music.
What is considered real music
by connoisscurs certainly does
not move the American masses
Maybe this is because we are
only s2mi-ciyili2ed. At any rate
it will be splendid if all children
can be taught to Ike something
besides jazz.@

CAN BUDGET NOW
Be DISAPPROYEID?
Some Say That County Com
missioners Can Not
Rescind Action
MAY BE COURT CONTEST

Have the county commission
ers the legal right to rescind
their approval of the county
board of education's budget
after local school board have
gone ahead and made contracts
based upon the approved bud
get? This question is apt to be
raised in Orange in the next
few weeks. The commissioners
and the board of education met
in joint session, and the board
of education's budget of about
$13O,000 was approved. Then
the county commissioners, at a
subsequent meeting, when a pro-
test was made by group of cit
liens against any increase in the
tax rate, announced that they
would rescind their previous
action and keep the tax rate at
last years figure-$1.10.
N w. Walker, secretary of
Chapel Hills school board, said
yesterday:
"Under the law, the commits
sioners, once having voted the
board of education's budget,
cannot refuse to grant the mon
ey. When the two boards held
their joint meeting, we had our
superintendent, Mr.. Morrison,
stay over especially to attend
it and find out just what our
resources were going to be for
he coming year.
"He came back from Hillsboro
and reported to as that the ed
ucation boards budget had been
approved. We then made out our
own budget accordingly. and en-
tered into contracts with a prin-
.cipal and teachers. A careful
examination of the law will show
that the commissioners have no
power to say to us that we
must declare these contracts a
scrap of paper. They were made
in good faith after the commits
sioners had taken official action
on the budget.
"rhe county board of educa-
lion is not in any difficult posi-
ton as matters stand now. All
1t has to is to stick to its guns,
and the county commissioners
are obligated to provide the
money. The amount they have
voted is no more than is neces-
sary to take proper care of the
schools" d"
The members of the Chapel
Hill school board are w. S. Rob
crson, chairman; N. w. Walker,
secretary; Mrs. w. d. Toy, Dir.
f. A. Abernethy, II. A. Eubanks,
and e. w. Knight.

WILL ESTABLISH
TRUCK ROUTE
A Better System for Marketing
Products of Orange
County Farmers
COST TO EACH IS SMALL

Plans are under way for the
establishment Of a truck route
in Orange county-that is, sys-
tenn for the collection and mar
keting of the farmers milk,
cream, butter, poultry, eggs,
vegetables and fruits.
If the scheme is put through,
an automobile truck will make
the rounds regularly, and every
farmer-whether he is close to
a town or many wiles away
will find a good and quick mark
ct for his products.
Application will be made to
the commissioners to appropri-
ate money to pay, in the begin
ming, the wages of the man who
runs the truck. Farmers will
join together to buy the truck.
A number of them have told r.
P. Harris, agriculture teacher
in the Chapel Hill school, that
they are willing to chip in to
meet this expense.
All summer Mr.. Harris has
been devoting his energies to
marketing Orange county pro-
ducts. He has gone about the
county taking them aboard his
Ford, and has Sold them in Chap
el Hill, Durham and Raleigh.
'This has been a demonstra-
ton Of what can be done, to in
crease the farmers incomes,
when a real truck-rOute system
p is established" said Mr.. Harris.
although | have sold a lot Of
stuff for them, | have barely
scratched the surface. Tens of
thousands Of dollars can be ad-
ded TO the annual farming re-
venue Of the county if we can get
the products to market regularly
and systematically.
"Thc cost to each farmer will
be very small in proportion to
what they will get out of it. The
scheme is not an experiment,
for it has been worked elsewhere
with complete success
Il believe the county com
missioners will not fail to see
that an appropriation, to get
Il truck route started, will be a
fine investment. The amount of
money required VIII be returned
many-fold Orange county can
produce vast quantities of dairy,
garden, and poultry products,
and will do It when the selling
end is taken care Of. Marketing
has always been the chief stumb-
ling block for the farmer. The
truck route means applying the
principle Of cooperation. In the
past a farmer has been put to
such "A big expense getting his
products to market that the
margin Of profit has been pretty
nearly wiped out. When a truck
goes around and gets things
from 25 to 80 farmers on a
single trip, ii is easy to see that
the marketing cost to each one
will be far lower than at prcs-
ent."

Chapel Hill Chafff

OuOpSL AALLL OHAU
It has been my observation
that most people, as soon as
they take up automobiling, cut
down on physical exercise
walking, tennis, and SO on. They
begin to hate to use their leg
muscles. It pleases me to see
that the philosophy professors
possession of a Studebaker has
made him no less fond of his
horse. Since he got his car l
have seen Mr.. Williams oftener
with his hands on a bride than
| have seen him at the steering
wheel, and / believe he is hap
pier in the saddle than in a car.
| like the way he sits a horse,
and l am glad that-in~taking on
a new sport he has not forsaken
the old.
Since work began on my new
printing building l have been
going to look at it at eight
O'Clock every morning, and l
halt my Ford sedan Immediate
ly beside the Ford sedan of Tom
Booth, the negro brickmason.
But alas! what a difference be-
tween the two vehicles! Mine
is usually mud-spattered or
dusty, while Toms is shining
and spotless. This contrast has
shamed me into trying to keep
mine in better shape. However,
| have not got to the point yet
of duplicating the mason's twin
glass cornucopias with fresh
flowers in them.
John T. Fowler, who spent
several weeks in Watts Hospital
last winter and spring, has not
got the use of his legs again
yet, but as he sits out on the
sidewalk, with his crutches
leaning against his chair, he
seems happy enough. He is
capable Of doing much of the
head-Work part of his meat
market business and says he
hopes soon to be doing his share
Of the leg-work too.
II was an unpardonable lapse
IN me to omit the Prouty bro
theirs from the list of members
Of the Chapel Hill boys band.
Fred and Billy were the first,
or certainly, among the first
who enrolled and reported for
practice.
1t was not only the farmers
who suffered from the excessive
rains of late June and early
July. The weather hit the swim
ming pool in Carrb0ro har-and
after Mrs. Sparrow had gone to
blg expense and trouble to i'm
prove the accommodations. On
sunny days the place was crowd
ed, but during the first term of
the Summer School there were
so few sunny days. Things are
going better now. I have been
interested to hear from some of
my Durham friends-Tom
Worth is one who has talked to
me about it-that they are find

ANDERSON'S TRIAL
Former Head of Anti-Saloon League Is Accused on Several Serious Charges of Fraud.

Charges of Fraud.
 New York, Jan. 2f. - The long pending trial of William H. Anderson, state superintendent of the anti Saloon League of New York, on one of five indictments charging extortion grand larceny and third degree forg cry, was on the calendar today before Supreme Court Justice Tompkins.
 Assistant District Attorney Pecora in charge of the prosecution chose the indictment charging Anderson with third degree forgery to be specifically tried. It is based as are the four other indictments, on accusations made by O. Bertsall Phillips, former league collector, who charged Ander- son with having compelled him to split his collection commissions with him.
 The forgery charge concerns an al- leged false entry on the leagues books, whereby Anderson is accused of having falsified the accounts in transferring a s4.0o0 item from Phil lips commission account to the col lector's expense account. The indict- ment charges that Anderson pocketed the $4,000 as half of the collection commissions paid to Phillips.
