OUTPUT OF CREAM

pounds sold last week.-Mrs. is
the growth achieved by the es-
tablishment of cream routes in
Orange county,
The average price that the
farmers got from the Burling-
ton creamery in February was
45 cents per pound of butter fat
Some owners of cows are sell
ing as much as $50 worth of
cream each month.
It is collected by men who GO
around. in automobiles under the
direction of the Chapel Hill
school. The payment is made
from Burlington to the agricul-
ture department of the school
and the money is distributed
among the farmers who supplied
the cream. Farmers who are
regularly supplying cream on
these routes now are:

Great as the growth has been
in the Orange county routes,
the resources of the county in
milk and cream production have
barely been scratched. In other
States where dairying is prac-
ticed on a large scale there are
sometimes Is or II creameries
in one county; but there are only
10 or IL creameries in the whole
of North Carolina. Yet the eX-
perts say that a great portion of
North Carolina is ideal land for
dairying.

walked two miles a day for "a
years from Chapel Hill to the
place that is now Carrboro. He
figures that he covered about
$4,000 miles in that period. Now
he lives out in Carrboro near
where he works and thereby
saves a lot of walking. Mr..
Ray was telling a friend the
other day that, when the Alumni
Building was put up, he sharp
ened chisels 5000 times for the
stone cutters; at that, he
couldn't keep up with the de-
mand, and they had to bring
in another man from outside Of
town to do sharpening directly
at the building.
The editor of the Weekly has
been told no more than anybody
else about the authorship Of
the Spring Poem published in

typewriter form, with no
name attached. Possibly it
may have been printed some

how carries the flavor of Mrs.

it is a contemporary production,
feel inclined to guess that it
came from Mrs. Lucy Phillips

One day when Bill MacNider

I am willing to bet that the

is nothing compared to the lost
feeling that Mr.. Odum has when
he attempts to comprehend one
of the MacNider monographs

THE BICYCLE
IN JAPAN

Perhaps the most extensively used
means of rapid transport in Japan to-
day-certainly the most feared and re-
viled by pedestrians--is the bicycle
The initial cost and upl1eep of the mo-
tor car make 1t prohibitive for all
but the wealthy or weTl-to-do. The
long distances to be covered in Tokyo,
however, make some means Of quick
travel necessary. The limited street
car facilities make that source of rapid
transportation not especially satisfac-
tory. Hence the wide use of the BIZ
cycle.
Not only is the bicycle used for
passenger service" but it plays an
increasingly heavy part as a carrier of
freight. Delivery boys with boxes or
very numerous in the crowds of pedal
pushers." Two-wheeled trailers are
used extensively, as are two-wheeled
side-cars, Thus with the hurrying
clerk, office worker land delivery boy
whirling by in droves-with motor
cars, horse-drawn vehicles. man-power
carts, ox-carts, and street cars moving
at varying rates of speed-the pedes-
trian has a busy time negotiating a
safe passage across the street.
Thousands of bicycles were de-
troyed during the great disaster
along with rik-shas, street ears. auto
mobiles. and other kinds of vehicles.
The more vindictive pedestrians hoped
that the day of the bicycle was over in
Japan. But their hope is far from
realization for today there are more
bicycles in Tokyo than ever.
The increase was caused by the mad
scramble for means of transportation
following the disaster. Many street
cars and automobiles had been de-
stroyed and many Japanese who for
merly owned automobiles, or rode on
street cars invested in bicycles as a
solution of the transportation problem.
Today one may see prosperous and
important-looking men of middle age
mixed among the hordes of messenger
and delivery boys pedaling along the
streets. And women are taking up the
bicycle. In fact, the use of the BIZ
cycle by school girls has become so
general that training classes for pro-
spective riders have been opened at
the women's University at Metro in
Tokyo.
Thus everything Indicates that the
bicycle Will remain a popular means of
in Japan for years to
come. Its popularity here now COM
pares with that in the United States
q generation ago.

"The average man or woman cannot

the right ways IA order to get from
their playing the properly balanced
maximum of beneficial exercise.
