FEBRUARY 23RD
POULTRY DAY
County Show Will be Held
in HillsbOrO Saturday
After Next
PRIZES WILL BE GIVEN

Saturday, February 23,-one
week from day after tomorrow
has been fixed as the day of the
Orange county poultry show in
Hillsboro. Since the plan to
hold the show was, first made
public there have come to light
a great many more breeders of
pure-bred poultry than were
known to be in the county, and
it seems certain that there will
be a large attendance.
Farmers in all sections of
Orange are displaying keen in
terest in the project. Poultry
men hope to form, as a result of
this exhibition, the Orange
County Poultry Breeders Asso-
citation. The purpose of the Or
ganiZation will be to help all the
members in methods of breed
ing fowls and the grading and
marketing of eggs. The asso-
citation will no doubt act as a
sort of marketing agency, send
ing to members orders received
for eggs. It will also buy sup
plies and feed at wholesale
prices.
Expert poultry judges from
the State Department of Agri-
culture will be at the show in
Hillsboro. A full list of the
prizes to be awarded will be pub
lished next week; thus far the
following have been offered:
BY the Bank of Chapel Hill,
sweepstakes prize, two extra
fine setting Of eggs, to match
the breed of the winning exhib-
itor. BY the Williams Grocery
Company, sack of poultry feed
to the winner Of the Wyandotte
class.

Chapel Hill

Miss Lulu M. Cas3iday, an
editor Of the Southern Ruralist
Of Atlanta, Georgia, is in Chapel
Hill and will be here until about
the end of February. She is
staying with Miss Glass and the
other school teachers on Rose
mary Lane.
Miss Cassidcy used to be dem
onstration agent and school sup
ervisor i'll Orange county. Hel
work in that capacity, and
something that she wrote about
it, attracted the attention of thg
owners Of the magazine and thoy
offered her the position of edi-
tor Of the department called
The Home. Although shq had
had no experience in publication
work, she made a success Of it
from the start.
Just now she is particularly
interested in the Carolina Play
makers. She is going to publish
an article about them and win
probably publish some of thcil
plays. Her idea is to stimulate
among people in rural commun-
tiles an interest in hcme Great

Condemn Dancing
Committee of COIOred Men Warn
'~ Youth Against it

The Rock Hill Baptist Church
(colored) has adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas, it is evident that
there are growing tendencies
among the young people of our
race to indulge in such pastimes
as dancing and card playing and
many other things that are det-
rimental to good morals and re-
ligious living:
Now, Therefore, Be 1t Resolv-
ed, By the members and friends
of the Rock Hill Baptist Church
that we strongly disapprove of
these things that are turning
our young people from the ways
of religious teaching to sin and
sorrow,
Resolved Further, that we as
a race will not enjoy the pro-
gress and happiness that is p>s-
sible until we shall learn and
recognize these great princi-
pies:
1. A high regard and re-
spect for religion and good NOR
ais.
2. Respect for law and or.
der.
3. Self control, fellowship,
and race pride.
Resolved Further, that our
people are urged to give these
matters deepest consideration
and to assist in every way pos
sible in combating sinful things
and influences.

25O Chicks Arrive
Come From Missouri; Others Are
Due Soon

Two hundred and fifty one
day-old White Leghorn chicks
arrived in Chapel Hill from Gin
ton, Missouri, last week. That
is, they were one day old when
they left Missouri. The trip
took about 2 days.
They came to Ernest Hearn
and Dwight Ray, of Carrboro,
who are to raise them and sell
them in the spring. a day or
two ago only seven of the $50
had died, loss smaller than usu-
ally occurs, and it looks as if at
least 225 will come through
safely; safely, rather, until they
are slaughtered for the table.
Ernest and Dwight paid II
cents each for the chicks, ard
if prices hold about as usual
they should get about ST apiece
for them after they have reach
ed the age for broiling. rhe
boys are keeping careful records
of the cost of food, so that they
may know just how much profit
Hthey earn. They have an excel
lent brooder house which cost
them $14.
For the first two or three days
the chicks are fed on hard boil
ed eggs mixed with oatmeal and
cornmeal. Then they are put on
1.-THE ordinary hen ration; mix
ture made up of one part fish
meal, one part wheat bran, and
two parts .cornmeal. And they
have access to buttermill1 all the
time. This buttermilk is said
Ito impart to the flesh a patti~
Ecularly fine flavor.
| Tuesday $50 more younr
ttchicks are to be shipped ia to
Charel Hill, this time from Siler
City in Chatham county; and
the demand is growing SO strong
that it looks as if a third ship
ment Of the same size will be
necessary soon.

MOVIES GO TO
GERHARD HALL
By rOfit-Sharing Arrangement
With University, Robertson
Will Conduct Shows
BAN ON PEANUT-HURLING

In consequence of the burning
of the Pickwick Theatre, NOV
ing picture shows will be given
in Gerard Hall from now until
June. H. F. Conner, Y. NJ. C. A.
secretary, is representing the
University in a supervisory Ca
pacity. w. S. Robertson, who
conducted the PickwiGk ander
lease from the owner, will put
on the shows in Gerard Hall m
der a profit sharing arrange
ment with the University.
AS soon as the share to be re-
ceived by the Y. NJ. c. A. jrep-
resenting the University was
decided upon, Secretary Conner
said to Mr.. Robertson:
'"Well, Wen just take our
share in reduced price of adj
mission, and you can Just cut
the price of tickets by that per-
centage." Accordingly the cut
will be made.
| Mr.. Robertson is to bear all the
expense of production, including
the thorough cleaning Of the
building after each pcrforla-
ance. He is also to install two
projecting machines of the most
approved type. Foor pr9ie:-
ton Of pictures has been one .,
the chief complaints against the
Fickwick.
AS the change from street to
campus takes place, the deter
mination is made to end the
FoWuylSm which has marked the
a1tcr-suppcr performances ar
the PickWick. The hurting If
peanuts, a pastime that has been
a regular feature hitherto, is 20
be stopped. Not much difficult
| ty is expected, since the students
themselves, or q great many Of
them, are said to be getting
weary of SO much rough stuff
4 The character Of the weekly
programs will probably not be
changed, to any great extent, hy
reason of the shift from town
to campus. Mr.. Robertson had
already engaged films for two
or three months ahead, and the
schedule will be followed out.
What will be done after June is
still in doubt. There is ON foot
a scheme to attach big moving
picture auditorium onto The \.
M. c. A. wing of the Graham
Memorial, to be run rs a Uniyar-
sity community show. It is too
early to say whether or not that
plan will go through.

Chapel Hill Chaf

much more remote ancestry
than was bestowed upon it by
Edwin A. Alderman in a recent
letter to a friend in Chapel Hill.
Mr.. Alderman carried it's origin
back to the Tholos at Epidaurus,
but Mr.. Caldwell traces it to
about 10000 B. C. when the
Mediterranean peoples lived in
caves. They came out of the
ground a little at a time, and
their first huts were circular in
form, consisting of posts bound
together sometimes with mud,
sometimes with reeds, with a
covering rising cone-fashion, to
a point. Later, columns we're
substituted for the rude posts.
The "bee-hive tombs" were de-
rived from these dwellings. The
evolution of the form continued
through Greece and Rome to
Versailles, British country es-
tates, and Chapel Hill.

Mrs. Staab has, a class in
French three times = week for
Charles and Billy Woollen and
Beth Chase. Another class that
has nothing to do with ordinary
school routine is one in aesthetic
dancing conducted by Miss Polly
Wells, niece of the late Mrs. H.
H. Williams. Among the pu-
pills whom she meets every Sat

home are Margaret Jordan, Ca

Since the State highway was
built through Chapel Hill we
see automobiles from every
state in the Union, of all shapes
and sizes, from weather-beatcn
cars with trailers behind to lUX-
urious limousines containing
handsomely dressed objects that
look like millionaires and mil
lionairesses. When | stopped al

1t seems to me one Of the
worst hard luck tales | have ever
