BUSBEES EXHIBIT
ART OF UJGTOWN
TO PLAYMAKERS
Lecture Accompanied by Work
ing Demonstration of Moore
County Native Craft
(Bv Joe Q. MitehelIl

Monday evening at the Play
maker Theatre, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacques Busbee gave a lecture
and exhibited pieces of Jugtown
pottery. The exhibition was
made under the joint auspices
of the Carolina Playmakers and
the art department of the Com
munity Club, with Mrs. Prouty
in charge.
Mr.. Busbee was a portrait
painter in Raleigh when he first
saw the work of these potters
of Moore County, North Caro-
fina. He became interested and
found that the potters were
rather unconsciously formed in
to a guild, and that they had
come to North Carolina in 1740
from Staffordshire, England.
Their craftsmanship was ira
ditional, and their work, he
thought, formed the first native
art, and at its best, the most
noteworthy attempt at fine art.
He left Raleigh, went to New
York, and in connection with a
restaurant in Greenwich Village,
established a pottery shop. He
has returned to North Carolina,
to Jugtown in fact, and he has
trained the potters to return to
their old forms, and with his
wife, has caused them to realize
an artistic consciousness which
resulted in work which comes
closeato being the only definite
contribution of the state to the
fine arts. Everywhere, in
China, Hawaii, and in Europe,
but not in North Carolina itself,
he pottery is well known and ap-
preciated. There are exhibits in
the Metropolitan and Boston
Fine Arts Museums, but Mr..
Busbee stated that only a few
North Carolinians knew of the
existence of this folk-craft.
Until Mr.. and Mrs. Busbee en-
couraged the potters, the craft
had dwindled, and the majority
of the craftsmen had become
moonshiners, selling homemade
liquor in homemade jugs. But
with encouragement, the tradi-
tional forms were revived, fur
naces were constructed, and pot
ter's wheels began turning a.
gain Now it is a flourishing
business, as well as an art.
On the Playmaker stage, a pot
ter's wheel was set, and two of
the craftsmen turned for the
audience a series Of simple jugs,
plates and jars. In the back
ground, displayed in rows, were
the conservatively colored pickle
and Salem jars, nut plates, and
a flashily glazed blue soap jar.
Old-fashioned candle-sticks, tea
sets, and oriental appearing
vases were also shown.

League Chapter Here?
Women, HAVING Heard Miss We'll, Win
Decide Question Later

The question of whether there
would be organized a chapter of
the league of women voters in
Chapel Hill has been deferred for
settlement until Tuesday after
noon when the legislative COM
mittee meets in Murphey Hall
auditorium. This was decided
Wednesday evening following
an address by Miss Gertrude
We'll, of Goldsboro, president of
the North Carolina League of
Women Voters, in Gerard hall
under the joint auspices of the
Legislative committee of the
Chapel Hill community club and
the junior league of women vOt-
|ers.
I'VE want our women voters
to base their support of a party
on information and conviction
rather than prejudice and tradi-
tion," Miss We'll declared. Re-
viewing the history and work of
the organization and telling of
the future plans, the speaker
said, "The league was originally
organized to educate the masses
in an understanding of political
problems and processes of gov
ernment. 1t stands for un-
biased, unprejudiced political
education.
"It is also the purpose of the
league to add woman's political
point of view to that of the
men," she asserted. Women
by virtue of her training and ex-
perience, would place more en-
phasis on human welfare. Mans
political interest has been con-
fined chiefly to the commercial
and financial development of the
country. we nope FOR 4 correct
balance between the two view
points.
Following Miss Wells ad-
dress, Miss Katherine Wolfe,
president of the junior league Of
women voters, told of its activi-
ties and aims. A general dis
cussion followed with Mrs. e. r.
Mosher, secretary of the legisla-
tive committee and state chair
man of the educational commit
tee, presiding.
Mrs. George Howe, chairman
of the legislative committee, pre-
sided over the meeting and in
troduced Miss We'll.

PLANS FOR NEW
LIBRARY DRAWN
AND APPROVED
Win Be Largest and Most
Imposing Building on
Campus
By Holt McPherson.

Drawings and specifications
for the new library have been
completed by Atwood and Nash,
University Architects, and have
been approved by L. R. Wilson,
Librarian, and the University
building committee. Bids for
the construction work have been
requested for the first week in
March, and if no hitch develops
actual construction work should
commence in the early spring.
However, before work begins the
bids and specifications must be
approved by the. State Budget
Commission and the State In
surance Commissioner.
The new library will be the
most imposing building on the
University campus, and prob
ably the most beautiful library
structure in the South. The
front of the main building will
be 204 feet long, with the entire
front wayy, trimmings and six
huge portico columns of white
limestone. The rest of the build
ing will be of brick construction.
A huge dome, not unlike the
dome of the Library of Con-
gress, will add beauty to the
large structure. Although ap-
proximately 200 feet long it will
not be square, for the back will
be of irregular shape: The style
of architecture is III close har-
mony with the new University
buildings, but the building VIII
be the largest here.
The library will be built south
of South building, on the north
and south ???? of the campus,
with the back against the cam
pus road. 1t has been staked out
and it covers a great deal of
ground. 1t will serve to fill the
yawning gap between Venable
Hall and the Saunders, Murphey,
Manning hall triangle. The work
cannot be completed in less than
IL to 18 months, even if there
is no further delay in the build
ing plans.
The legislature of 1927 appro-
priated 1925, 900 for the build
ing and furnishing of a new Ii
brary here to take the place of
the present structure which has
long since been outgrown. For
many years a new library has
been crying need of the Uni
versity, for the old structure was
built in 1907 to care for a library
of $4,000 volumes which since
has grown to 10000 with an
annual increase of about $4,000
books.

Carload of Steers
From Montana Sold
At High Price

A carload of Montana State College
yearling Steers shipped May 27, top
ped the South st. Paul market last
week at $13.75 per cwt., according to
word received from Louis Vinke who
accompanied the steers to market,
The cattle hat set the high figure for
the day at st. Paul were used in feed
ing trials at the Montana Experiment
Station during the past winter and
were on display to farmers and stock
men of southern Montana at the An
nual Livestock Day last April.
The steers were fed ON Montana
grown frosted wheat, barley, and alf-
alta hay. There were about 80 head
used in the experiments. These were
divided into five lots and each lot fed
a different combination and amount
of feed. Part of the cattle were sold
to a local butcher shortly after Live
stock Day and the remaining "a were
put on full feed and sent to market
last week.
Visitors to the Montana Experiment
Station on Livestock Day were i'm
pressed with the finish of the animals
on display, particularly those which
had been on full feed and where frost
ed wheat had been a part of the ra-
ton. The steers fed frosted wheat
made the most economical gains and
those fed frosted wheat, barley and
alfalfa made the greatest gains, al
though there was comparatively little
difference in gains or cost between
those two rations. After Livestock
Day the various lots of steers were
fed a barley-frosted wheat-alfalfa ra-
tnn and were kept on this feed until
marketed.
The results of the feeding trials and
the returns received from the sale of
the cattle supply valuable information
to farmers and stockmen Of the state
as to the possibilities of feeding Mon
tana-bred yearlings on Montana
grown feeds. Accounts of the feed
ing trials at Montana Experiment Sta
ton and the methods used in finishing
the market-topping steers may be OBJ
tanned without cost by farmers and
stockmen of Montana from the Exper-
iment Station, Bozeman.

Smaller Paper Money
TO Make Appearance

After many delays, the new paper
money is on the presses at Washing
ton and will soon make its appearance
on bank counters. Apparently all OBJ
stacles and objections have been over
come and the nation is well on the
way toward universal use of paper
money one-third the size of the pres
ent greenback.
This will be the first change in the
national currency in 60 years. The
new bills will not only be smaller but
altered in design. The yellow or
goldback is destined to pass out of the
picture, for the diminutive bills of all
denominations will be engraved in a
standard green color.
1t will be remembered that the re-
duction of the size of the paper money
was n of the earliest economy
schemes of the Coolidge administra-
ton. The saving to the government
will be $4,000, 900 a year, the economy
being effected in paper and labor.
Twelve of the new bills IAN be en-
graved with the same amount of pap
er, labor, and equipment as eight of
the large notes. This annual saving
will quickly pay for the new plates
and equipment and for making the
necessary changes in the bureau of
printing and engraving.
Eventually the old style bank notes
will be as are as the old Indian head
pennies, but while both sizes are in
circulation counting currency will be
complicated by the danger of pigmy
bills being hidden between the large.
This was one of the objections made
by bankers to the new style currency.
Most people will welcome the petite
paper. 1t will better fit billfolds and
purses and permit a desirable reduc-
ton of the size of pocket money con-
tanners.

Surrey ShOUs Farm
q Un d IeUdtO
To BE Prospecting

The United States Department Of
Agriculture is completing a general
survey of farmers elevators and has
reports from 1881 associations. Lloyd
S. Tenny, chief of the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics, estimates that
there are at least 1000 fa~rmer-owned
elevators, about two-thirds operating
on the cooperative principle of limit
ing dividends on stock and paying
dividends according to patronage.
The general business condition OF
these elevators is satisfactory. Com
bined, they have a paid-up capital
stock of S57,000,0 900 and a combined
net surplus of nearly $25, 000, 900.
They own buildings and equipment
valued at approximately $60,000,0 900
and carry about $22, 000, 900 for work
ing capital. About 100000 stockhold-
ers W the associations and about
the same number of non-member grain
growers patronize the elevators. For
the last season about six out of sever
associations reported SURPRISES, 81
per cent reported dividends paid on
stock and % per cent paid patronage
dividends.
These associations are also entitled
to credit for improving local practices
in the handling of grain, Mr.. Tenny
believes. Their activity has promoted
the establishment of fairer grading,
weighing, and docking practices; re-
duction of margins in the local hand
ling of grain; stimulation of more
courteous and considerable treatment
Of growers by country grain buyers;
creation of competition in local mar
kets; encouragement of better pro-
duction practices and lower produc-
ton costs; instruction of members in
the business Of marketing, and the
general promotion Of cooperative ac-
ton pertaining to the welfare of grain
farmers.

IduhO'S Potato
Grading Adopted
By -Four States

Missoula.-Uniform grading of po-
tatoes on the plan in effect in Idaho
is to be attempted by four northwest
ern states, it was decided at the
meeting of potato growers and state
officials at Pendleton, Oregon, Mon
day, May %, according to Edward
Dickey, state horticulturist.
No. / and No. 2 grades, with those
not graded or below No. 2 standard,
classified as ungraded, are to be
adopted by Washington, Oregon, and
Montana. The Idaho system calls for
the grading of the tubers in n OF
these three classes. The potatoes
must be placed in sacks stamped with
the grade, according to the Idaho reg
ulations.
Adherence to the federal standards
in potato classification was advocated
by the men at the meeting. No change
is advisable in the federal classified
ton, the conferees decided, if the
standards and the requirements are
lived up to.
Washington will probably put the
Idaho system into effect by commits.

legislative action probably will be

NeU Land LaU
Ruling to Add
State Revenue

State and county taxation of land
held on federal reclamation projects
on which residence and cultivation
proof has been made but for which
patent will not be issued until all as
sessments are paid, is made legal in
an act of congress approved by Pres
ident Coolidge, April 81.
Heretofore, reclamation land has
not been taxed by the state or county
until the entryman procured his pat
ent from the government, regardless
of when he made proof as to residence,
improvements and cultivation. Be-
tween the making of the latter proof
and the issuance of the patent there
is usually a long period, sometimes
extending to twenty or thirty years.
The final patent is issued only when
designated assessments, made incl
dent to the reclamation costs, are re-
paid to the government.
An immense area of land in Mon
tana is affected by the new law. The
greater portion of the land on the
Sun river project, as well as on most
Of the other projects Of the state, is
still unpatented, and in the past has
not paid state and county taxes. AT
one time and another efforts have
been made to levy on such land for
state and county purposes but court
decisions have held it to be tax ex
empt under former laws.
The text of the new law says:
"-That the lands Of any home
stead entryman under the act of June
II. 1902, known as the reclamation
act, or any act amendatory thereof
or supplementary thereto, may, after
satisfactory proof to residence, i'm
provements, and cultivation, and ac-
ceptance of such proof by the general
land office, be taxed by the state or
political subdivision thereof in which
such lands are located, in the same
manner and to the same extent as
lands of like character held under
private ownership may be taxed.
"That the lands of any desert land
entryman located within an irrigation
project constructed under the recla-
nation act and obtaining a water
supply from such project and for
whose land water has been actually
available for a period of four years,
NAV likewise be taxed by the state or
political subdivision thereof in which
such lands are located.
"That all such taxes legally as
sessed shall be a lien upon the lands
and may be enforced upon said lands
by the sale thereof in the same man.
ner and under the same proceedings
whereby said taxes are enforced
against lands held under private own
ership, provided that the title or in
terest which the state or political
subdivision thereof car convey by tax
title, tax deed, or as a result of any
tax proceeding, shall be subject to a
prior lien reserved to the United
States for all the unpaid charges au-
thorized by the said act of June IL
1902, whether accrued or otherwise;
but the holder of such tax deed or tax
title resulting from such tax shall be
entitled to all the rights and prlvi-
leges in the land of. an assignee un-
der the provisions Of the act of June
%, 1910"
