VERNON HOWELL
HAD FINE TIME
Hunted Four Days With Cap
tain Emerson. Brought
Back Four Ducks
DEER NOT CLOSE ENOUGH

Vernon Howell went down to
the coast of South Carolina, at
the beginning of the holidays,
and paid a four days visit to
Captain Isaac E. Emerson, once
of Chapel Hill but now of Balti-
more. Captain Emerson had
sent him a telegram holding out
the lure of wild duck, wild
turkeys, wild boar, and wild
deer. 1t was the call of the
wild for fair, and the dean of
the pharmacy school answered
it eagerly.
He brought back several
ducks, too. Ten to be exact, in
Guiding the following species:
Readhead, Mallard, Baldpate,
and Canvasback. For two or
three days following his return
he and his friends fed richly
upon them. AS soon as they
were exhausted, Mr.. Howell
having found time between
feasts to correct his examina-
tlon papers-put out for his
own preserve, a duck-hunting
paradise in the shape of an is
land lying off the North Caro-
lima coast. The report of the
bag there is not yet in.
Il was no shot at all compar-
ed with Captain Emerson" said
Mr.. Howell in telling of his
South Carolina trip. He killed
25 ducks before breakfast one
morning"
The bromo seltzer kings es-
tate, which he has named Ar
cadla, is across the bay from
Georgetown. 1t includes H.
900 acres of woodland, swamps,
and meadows. 1t used to be the
property of the Alstons, ia
nous South Carolina family.
and the old Colonial home still
stands in all it's beauty. The

roads and lawns, has kept the

Pendergrafts' Reunion
All Thirteen Were Together for
Christmas

{. S. Pendergraft, the bus
man, had all his eleven children
with him for Christmas. When
the whole family-mother, fa-
ther and children-sat down to
dinner together, it made thir-
teen at the table. This is re-
puted to bring on bad luck, but
it didn't spoil the Pendergrafts'
appetite. They paid no heed to
the superstition. -

LETTERS ABOUT
OTHER STADIUNIS
How Yale, Harvard, and Ohio
State Carried Their Pro-
jects Through
GEORGE STEPHENS VIEWS

GEORGE STEPHENS VIEWS
AS the time approaches when
the University of North Caro-
lima must provide for big
crowds at athletic events, the
plans followed by other institu-
tions in building their stadiums
will be examined with keen in
terest. In response to an in
quiry from the Chapel Hill
Weekly, three universities
Yale, Harvard, and Ohio State
University-have sent letters
telling how their projects were
financed.
At Yale the alumni who SUBJ
scribed money got certain pre-
ferred ticket privileges. At
Harvard a gift of $1O0, 900 from
the class of 1879 started off the
fund; this was followed by other
gifts, and the rest of the money
needed was borrowed from the
University, which also provided
| the land. At Ohio State the I'M
dertaking was financed by gifts
from alumni, students, faculty
members, and other citizens of
the State.
Letters from Yale, Harvard,
and Ohio State appear later on
in this article.)
In a recent issue of the Week
ly it was suggested that a Uni
versity of North Carolina sta
dium might be financed by the
sale of shares to alumni and
other friends of the institution,
each share emitting the holder
to seats at games. This plan
was mentioned not with the idea
that it was the only feasible
one, but simply because it had
been successfully worked out in
Northern and Western institu-
tions. Some other scheme might
be found to be better after in
vestigation.
George Stephens Letter
George Stephens of Asheville,
who was graduated from the
University in 1896, sets forth
his views in letter to the edi-
tor. as follows:
Mr.. Stephens sets forth his
views in a letter to the editor,
as follows:

BY all mean let's take hold of
your idea in this matter and put
it across. You are right from

KEEPING BOOKS
HELPS FARMERS
Many Orange County Men Plan
To Follow BusineSslike
Methods in 1924
STATE SUPPLIES BLANKS

1.-THE best New Years resolu-
tion the farmers of Orange coun-
ty could make" said a State
government agricultural expert
who was here the other day,
would be to keep accurate rec
or6s of their work in 1924-of
their operations with cattle,
hegs, poultry and crops"
And many of them are deter
mined to do it. r. P. Harris,
the agricultural teacher in the
Chapel Hill school, has got
from Raleigh a number of &C
count books, specially designed
for farmers, and he is distrib-
uting them around the county
to all who want to use them.
These books have sheets con-
tanning blanks to be filled out
for every sort of work that is
done around a farm.
Among the farmers around
Chapel Hill who already keep
careful records are Malcolm
BIackwood, Brady and Melvin
Lloyd, Alex McIver, S. c. Will
son, S. M. Oldham, Jeter Lloyd,
and Ivan Lloyd.
MANY others have told me
they are going to keep books
this year." says Mr.. Harris
And it is going to be about
the most stimulating and in
spring thing that could be done
for agriculture in Orange. Nc
man can hope to make a sVc'
cess if he doesn't know what his
costs and income are-whether
he is making or losing.
"For example, say a farmer
has a flock of 100 hens. He
should know how much food of
each variety they consume, and
what it costs; how many eggs
they lay each week OF each
month; how many of the eggs
he sells and how many his fam
lily consumes; and exactly how
much money he gets for those
he sells. These little account
books supplied by the State
have blanks in which the en-
tries can be made with very lit

minutes every day"

Chapel Hill ChaE

l found an unusually large
grin the other morning on the
face of Robert Neville, the mail
carrier on Route 3, as he sat in
his car near the post-of1ice. He
held up for my view a box, took
the top off, and disclosed a
block of honey. 1t was luscious
looking stuff. Christmas gift, p"
he explained, "and homemade,
too"
There were more important
characters in the Christmas
Eve pageant, but the seven
cherubs made the big hit with
me. The two l got the best
view of what happened to be
Jane Knight and Celia Durham,
and they were beautiful to be-
hold. If they grow up to be as
charming as they are now they
will endanger the equilibrium
I of the community. Jane took
a more active part than had
been planned, over and over
again trying to bat Mrs. Learn
ed over the head with her tin
trumpet.
Since house-to-house mail de-
liveries began a few weeks ago,
Mrs. John M. Booker has been
more active than usual in the
social life of the village. In the
bygone days, prior to November,
her husband was charged with
the duty of getting the mail
from the post-office. He had a
way of failing to extract all the
letters from his coat pockets
when he reached home, and Of
ten Mrs. Booker ran across in
Invitations to parties several days
after the parties had taken
place. Now such missives, be-
ing brought to the house by a
Government representative, are
promptly read.
Miss Alice Noble selected a
novel form of travel for the
Christmas vacation. Instead of
going away to New York or
Wilmington or some other
place, she invited her friend,
Miss Nell Blair, to be her guest,
and they made a Series of tours
In the Essex. One day they
went to Raleigh, another to
Plnehurst, another to Green's
boro-and | believe to Winston
salem and other cities. Every
night, or almost every night,
they spent at the Noble home
in Chapel Hill. By the way,

Alice. | can never see any diff

before the hour for the clubs

These are jolly affairs, these
Monday luncheons. Perhaps it
does not become an outsider to
comment upon the Rotarians' Sc
lection Of their officers, but none
the less I'll tell the world that
wheE they chose Walter Budd
as master of ceremonies, or in
terlocutor, or whatever the job
is called, they picked a man who
is an artist at livening up the
middle of a business day. l be-
lieve it was Cardinal Wolsey
who, according to Shakespeare,
said: Had l but served my
God with half the zeal served
my king, he would not in mine
age have left me naked to mine
enemies" Now, | can imagine
Mr.. Budd saying to himself as
he leaves his office Monday
night: Had l but served my
roofing business this day with
half the zeal l served the Rotary
Club, l would be so we'll heeled
with the coin of the realm that
| would not have to work any
more at all this week"

Yet many men do this. In fact, very few men ever make clean breast of their financial affairs to the girl to whom they are engaged. Their vanity will not permit them to come down to brass tacks, and tell the girl just ex- actly the size of their pay envelopes. So they speak in large and glittering terms of always being able to take care of her, and the girl puts generous in- depreciation upon what this means. Also, without intending it, perhaps, many men lead girl to believe tha' they are far better off than they are by the lavish way In which they spend money in their courting days. The man always has money for presents for little dinners and taxis and flow CTS and candy. He never seems to count the cost of things, and the girl jumps to the conclusion that he will always be able to give her these luxu- ries.
 So she gets a sad jolt, as she often does, when she finds out after marriage that the man was making a splurge just to dazzle her; that they cannot af- ford the movies, still less grand opera, and that she has to sweat out of the market money to pay for the presents he gave her, and for which he is still in debt.

Good mutton should be of clear, dark red, the fat firm and white, and not too much of it. When touched, the meat should feel crisp yet tender.
