Kyser Plans Minstrel
Promises Many Professional Acts to
Supplement Home Talent

Under the auspices of the Di
Senate, one of the two Univer-
sity parliaments, Kike Kyser is
preparing to put on a big min
strel show. 1t will be given in
Memorial Hall late in March or
early in April.
Home talent is being trained,
but Mr.. Kyser is going to sup
plement it with a number of
professional acts. He has a wide
acquaintance in the "profesh"
and has already received pro-
misses, from dancers, singers
and jokesmiths of high repute,
that they will come and per-
form.
Stats Randall is associated
with him in the direction.
One of the attractions will be
a magician. And there will be
a professional female imperson-
ator and a professional quartet
te.
Mr.. Kyser threatens other
startling disclosures later.

FARMERS BUILD
POULTRY HOUSES
Great Improvement in Last
Four Years in Shelter
Provided For FlOcks
INCREASE IN PRODUCTION

. All through Orange county
the farmers are building mod
,ern poultry houses.
This is a recent development.
Three or four years ago, as you
went about the country near
here, you hardly ever saw a
shelter built especially for poul-
try. The chickens had to do the
best they could, sometimes going
to roost in part of a barn, some
times in a shed that gave them
little or no protection from the
weather. The result was heavy
percentage of loss.
Here is an illustration: One
Orange county farmer last year,
lost his entire flock because Of
exposure to the cold. This year,
with a new shelter and a mod
ern brooder, he is raising his
chickens with a loss of not more
than one out of twenty.
Poultry experts lay down two
essentials for successful poul-
try-raising; good shelter and
good feeding.
"Our climate here is so well
suited to chickens, said R. P.
Harris, agriculture teacher of
the Chapel Hill school yeterday,
"that if they are given fair
show there is a very small
chance of their not coming
through all right. Everywhere /
go in the country now the far
mers tell me how much better
success they are having than
they used to have when they
did not have good chicken
houses.
Within four or five weeks now
the "broiler seaon" will open up,
and spring chickens can be
shipped to Richmond and Wash
ington and sold for 75 to 86
cents a pound. For month, be-
ginning about the end of March,
the farmers can get the best
profit by shipping their chick
ems. Toward the end of April,
as the supply increases, it will
be to their advantage to sell in
Durham and Chapel Hill.

Chapel Hill. Chaf

After the work of the day was
over butt before the outside
doors of the postoffice doors
were closed, a few nights ago,
Willie Hogan, one of the postal
clerks, was playing on his banjo
"The Wreck of the Old g." And
he accompanied the banjo with
whistling and patting of the
foot. The people who came in
to get their mail out of the boxes
fingered to listen and admire.
Mr.. Hogan was invisible behind
the partition which separates
the lobby from the inner precin-
cts and knew nothing of the
grateful audience outside.
Which moves me TO remark
that, altough in general / prefer
bananas to train wrecks, l am
glad that the former have given
way to the latter in popular
music. But what next? In a
few months the engineer OF Old
81 will be all forgotten and
Willie Hogan will be entertain
ing the post-office crowd with
some new favorite. {
It is chronicled in the Tar
Heel that IAN audience of ten
people heard DR.. Robert Pretlow
speak Thursday night on the re-
ligious situation in Russia" one
of the ten being the Tar Heel
reporter. There is nothing more
uncertain than what will draw a
crowd here in Chapel Hill. A
preacher or a teacher may meet
a complete frost; but, again,
sometimes a lecturer on religion
or philosophy will look out on
not a single empty seat, and the
very next week an attraction"
that would naturally be suppos-
ed to have a far stronger popu-
lar appeal brings out perhaps a
score or so of people. Once a dis
tinguished visitor had a total of
five hearers in Gerard Hall. No
men are more deserving of SYM
pathy than those whose task it
is to arrange public speeches
and escort the speakers to the
hall. l had the job once and |
know. That sinking feeling you
have when you approach the
door with the guest, in fear Of
finding row upon row of empty
seats-it is somethin' terrible.

tanks slops around quite some, but the
management don't seem to care how
much water is spilled because there is
plenty more out in the yard around
the boat.
There are ladies' gyms and mems
gyms In the ladies' gym they have an
electrical horse saddled up and all you
have to do is to punch a button for
whatever gait you want from trot
to a gallop. There are smoking rooms
to the rear and lounges to the front.
Everywhere you go, mostly, except in
the dining room, you will find men
and women lounging and smoking.
Lots of them are ladies and gentlemen
at that
At noon each day some lucky fell
low wins a pool on the mileage the
ship has made during the time inter-
vening from noon yesterday. Today
the ships record was 439 miles. 1t
didn't use skid chains and the engi-
neer didn't say how much gas per mile
was used. A number of sporty pas
sengers throw in to erect a jackpot
then the fellow who draws the num-
Der closest to the mileage made cops
the works 1t don't take much brain
work and is mighty restful to the fell
low who rakes it in.
The passengers are made up pretty
much from an indiscriminate gather
ing of people dragged together from
most any vocation one can mention,
but we oftimes think from their con-
versation their knowledge covers a
heap too much territory. That amt
intended as grand slam, because up
to date we have told heluva lot of
things about Arizona we amt any too
positive about, but hope are really so.
Anyway, if any of 'em we told things
like that too, come to Arizona, We'll
endeavor to show 'em something so
near like it they can't complain.
There is no sense in trying to draw
any pictures of the passengers. You've
seen train-load of the same kind we
are unloading at Grand Canyon. The
positive cid lady turkey with the red
wattles; the old ducks and duckesses,
the elderly Brahmas who have to
get their dress measurements made by
a surveyor; the young Leghorns that
seem all legs and horn in every old
place.
The young ones dance as fast and
often as they can get music and the
other old tops play bridge wherever
they can make the grade up an ap-
proach road Really something has to
be done, because there is heap of
sameness about the surrounding seem
cry. While no. two waves look exactly
alike you couldn't tell the difference
from a mile of movie film.
We passed batch of sea turtles
that evidently came up to see what
was going on overhead. That was off
The Coconino sun., 1925-01-16

the coast of Mexico. They were small
but interested the passengers for
quite a while. ] don't know what kind
they were and the engineer didn't
seem to know.
The next excitement was a kinder
garten school Of flying fish. They
couldn't fly much. They merely
kicked up fin here and there so you
could see they were fussin' around in
that vicinity. 1t did look as though
one could tell the size of the school by
the different color of the water. No
whales have yet been noted; no birds
seen, but several village pests.
A town meeting was called by the
management today, to advise US how
to properly approach Los Angeles
next Saturday. One of the interesting
things was notice to see the village
doctor as to whether we should be
vaccinated or not At first we sorter
thought it was a retaliation on ac-
count of the hoof and mouth disease
which disconnected California, but
found that while most of us were
Americans, the Belgenland is nor
mally British ship, even though j.
P. Morgan and his chums own it, con-
sequently we hadda show our scars.
1t was embarrassing to some of the
ladies because they couldn't just roll
up their sleeves like us men did. We
both passed by showing past honor
able scars. When we discovered that
the DR.. had passed us ok, we felt it
was mighty wise precaution which
should be rigidly enforced and etched
in on the rest of the bunch of foreign
ers. 1t was understood, too, at this
mass meeting that we would go
through Hollywood.
Rotary Round Table club was or
ganized on the way up with II mem
from soda to hook. There were three
newspapermen in the bunch. They all
drifted together without knowing each
other and seated themselves in one,
two, three order-at the foot of the
special table. This shows how hard
it is for newspaper men to keep apart
at the bottom.
Not mentioning no names, we know
people from about 48 states who are
sorter homesick and honin' for the
old homestead right now. Some two
or three have definitely made up their
minds to float home by rail at either
Los Angeles or San Francisco 1t
isn't sea-it's home-sickness.
Ho, hum! It's a small world and
wouldn't be surprised if | met some
one at the piear at Pedro-Angeles with
a bill There is no sense in trying to
describe Los Angeles and the 18-mile
cow path to San Pedro's Los Angeles
harbor. Real estate agents even have
run out of words that | don't even
know trying it and failed to sell.
Weather has been cool and breezy
past three days, but is warmer as we
approach Los Angeles. The chamber
of commerce is expected to move us
out in three flotillas of autos to see
Los Angeles and surrounding country
in an 85-mile ride. Lunch at noon at
Orange, and to be boated again at 6
D. M ready for a day in San Fran
cisco, December 22nd.

Probably no two persons ride a
horse Just exactly alike. In the west,
however, riding is somewhat different
from what it is elsewhere, mainly be-
cause the steeds are unlike those IN
any other part of the world. The
bronc of the west has no exact coun-
terpart on this round globe. " A cow
boy sits in the saddle, rather he
slumps in the seat, with all muscles
relaxed, even the shoulder muscles" ;"
writes George C. Boyden in Adven-
ture magazine.
'"The cowboy adapts his movements
to that of the horse. He rides a
trotting animal without bouncing up
and down like the English or military
short-stirrup motion. The way the
cowboy rides is not easy on horse
but it is the easiest way there is, espe-
cially when riding in rough lava or
hilly country. A cowman could not
keer, his feet in the stirrups riding
after dodging cattle on the run, ii
he didn't shove them full home in the
stirrups clear up to the heels of the
boot. That is Observation-Disclosures
hcotheel is made so high on cowboy
boots; to keep the foot from going on
through the stirrup. The modern stir
rup is made of metal and gets so
slick from usage that foot could not
be kept in place unless showed home.
Again, the stirrup is rounding on the
bottom and sides, is about two inches
deep, and fits between the heel and
sole, or the instep of the foot. The
sole is very stiff and strong in the
instep. The cowboy rides with full
length stirrups, scarcely any space be-
tween seat and saddle.
"Any time any one does not believe
a cowboy rides his saddle and not the
stirrups, examine the saddle. he
wouldn't stay put on a bronc in cut
TING or running cattle very long If he
didn't. In the olden days of the time
of the Mexican saddle the stirrups
were ponderous wooden affairs, some
of them as much as four inches deep,
most of them with tapaderos to keep
the feet from going through. Then
the cowpuncher had to ride to some
extent on the balls of his feet, but
experience changed the depth time and
again until the present narrow model
when compelS Che ooot 10 90 IhIouSh
to the heel.
"a cowman does not sit up in the
saddle at any time; when he is using
a rope, he stands in the stirrups at
times and the rest of the time he sits,
leaning forward, with his knees flex-
ible and legs ready to grip the barrel
of the animal. There are no better
riders than the American cowboy, and
they are the easiest riders on horses
there are considering the manner of
work the cowhorse is compelled to do.
