Community Club Affairs

The Community Club had a
meeting Friday afternoon. L.
r. Sides gave vocal and cornet
solos. A message to the effect
that the health officer would be
continued on duty at the school
was received from Mayor Rober-
son. On motion of Mrs. Nathan,
the club votd, to ask the Orange
county commissioners to have
cattle inoculated against tuber-
culosis. Mrs. Moody Durham
reported that $738 had been re-
ceived from the sale of Christ
mas seals in aid of the campaign
against tuberculosis. It was an
nounced that citizens who had
gifts to make to the negro school
should gather at the white
school tomorrow (Friday) at
three o'clock, where they would
find automobiles to take them
out to the new building at the
end of Church street.

Josiah William Bailey, who is
to speak against the Ku Klux
Klan in Memorial Hall tomorrow
friday night, is said to dislike
having his photograph taken.
It was declared during his cam
paign for Governor, in the pri-
maries last June, that he had
not willingly exposed himself
before the camera in many
years.
The photograph here pre-
sented is one that the editor
came across by accident. It was
taken while Mr.. Bailey was sit
ting on a bench in Capitol
Square, Raleigh, some twenty or
twenty-five years ago.
A close study of the picture
gives some idea as to why Mr..
Bailey is smiling so happily. A
friend of his, a young Raleigh
woman, stands besides him and
has her hand laid playfully upon
his shoulder. The original photo
graph showed her complete face
and figure; and, as far as face
and figure are concerned, would
well deserve reproduction. But
the hat! Poised precariously
upon the top of an abundant coil
of hair, it is one of those spread
ing creations that flourished
near the beginning of the CEN
tury. In those days it was in
the height of style and was re-
garded as beautiful; but the
editor who today published the
likeness of a woman with such a
hat would be in grave danger of
a suit for criminal libel.

WOULD GET MUD
OFF MANSTREET
Unusually Bad Surface Stimu-
lateS Desire for Concrete
Pavement
OWNERS SIGN A PETITION

Mud on the Main street.-the
deepest, ugliest, most enduring,
and altogether the most dis
agreeable lot of mud the village
has ever seen-has given i'm.
petus to an effort to have the
block from the post-office to
Andrews corner paved from
curb to curb.
Already owners possessing
about half the frontage on the
block have signed a petition to
the board of aldermen asking
for a concrete surface. Accord
ing to law, if 81 per cent of the
total number of owners, own
ing 81 per cent of the frontage,
sign the petition, then the alder
man may go ahead with the
work.
In this event, the cost will be
split into thirds; the town as a
whole pays a third, the property
on one side Of the street pays a
third. and the property on the
other side Of the street pays a
third.
But an owner does not have
to pay his assessment all at
once. It may be paid in ten
yearly installments.
City Manager Knox has esti-
mated the cost of concrete, on
both sides of the present State
Highway strip. at S1067 per
linear foot of street. AS the
length of the block is about 900
feet, this would make the total
cost about $9,603.
An owner having a 25-foot
frontage, whose total property
was assessed for taxes at $1O,-
600, would have to pay an as
sessment of 1886 a foot, or a
total of $89. This would be
$3.50 a year. Interest on the
unpaid balance, and the share
that he would have to pay of
the whole towns third, would
make the first annual payment
$15,34. This would go steadily
down, since the interest charge
would decrease every year.

LlOyds Get Fine Hatch
T2 Per Cent. of First Set of Egg,
Produce Chicks

The first hatch from the
Lloyd incubator, out in the
Sunnyside section west of Chap
el Hill, beat all expectations.
Of the 500 eggs that had been
put in at the end of the first
week in January, 1913 per cent.
turned out chicks on the 9th of
the month.
Sixty per cent. is considered
a good yield by experienced
poultrymen, and they are not
disappointed if they average so
per cent. week after week.
Therefore Paul Lioyd's sons.
Melvin, Ivan, and Wallace, and
their advisor, R. P. Harris, are
congratulating themselves upon
having selected the best type of
incubator. It cost them $4OO
more than one of the two or
three other types that they
considered.
Of course they are not sure
of achieving with every hatch
the phenomenal result of 1913
per cent, but they have demon
strated that their incubator is
capable of a high yield. They
attribute their initial success to
the extraordinary care they
took to adjust the heating and
ventilating mechanism properly
before they put the eggs in, and
they have resolved to maintain
this care.
Glenn Lloyd, a kinsman and
neighbor, bought the entire out
put of chicks from the first
hatch. '

Chapel Hill Chatf

Late in the afternoon OF last
Thursday, when all of Chapel
Hill was covered by a hard crust
of snow, I saw a woman neigh
Dor of mine get out of an auto
mobile on the main street with
a trowel in her hand. Her trow-
el mysified me-but only for a
moment. She approached the
steep bank that rises from the
curb to the sidewalk in front of
the Hill Bakery and dug vicious
ly into the snow-crust. Having
made a hole, she planted her
foot in it. Then she made an
other hole and planted her other
foot in that. And so, hole by
hole and step by step, she as
cended. 1t looked rather fool
ish. l laughed at her (behind
her back). A minute or two
later I essayed to climb one of
these banks and got a tumble.
Then I knew that the trowel
was an excellent idea.
. Q Q
Sometimes in midwinter we
have the most amazingly mild
and beautiful weather in Chapel
Hill, and / have taken pleasure
more than once in sending to
some friend in the North a ko-
dak picture of myself clad all in
white playing tennis, with some
such label as: "North Carolina
on the 18th Of January" But
often we show visitors from
New England or New York as
cruel a climate as they have
left at home. AS, for instance,
most of this month Of January
just past. / recall that back in
the nineties a Northern woman,
a Mrs. Clark, charmed by what
a friend had told her of the
winter before, came here soon
after Christmas. A blizzard
came to town the same day she
did, and snow stayed on the
ground a foot deep for three
weeks. The snow left, and
there followed cold rain, and
sleet, and more snow. And in
those days there wasn't a fur
nace-heated house in the village.
After about six weeks here Mrs.
Clark said she was going back
North to get warm. She went,
and never returned. I suppose
she decided that the friend who
had given the place such a fine
recommendation had a secret
grudge against her.
I lived many years in the
North but in no other year have
l suffered so much from the
cold as in the winter of 1917

The Best Dog of All
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney

Earl James says he has a bull dog
that has all the others backed clean
off the map. His dog is named Demp
sey, after the mighty Jack.
Among other things, Earl says his
dog goes to school with him and keeps
his pencils sharpened, keeps the cali
off while his mother milks, meets him
at the door of a morning with kindling
for fire, hunts his school books for
him each morning, bark like a squirrel
and try to tree himself, draw the pic
ture of a coon on the ground and then
try to get the picture to run for the
woods so he can have a chase. If a
car passes that is not hitting good he
hunts wrench to take out the plugs
and clean them. The dog is so inter
ested in the doings of other dogs that
have been described in the Star Herald
that every Thursday he runs to meet
the mail carrier and get the paper.
Earl says the reason why his dog is
so good is that it came from Missouri.
