Whimple called and wanted the KEY
to your apartment, so she's stopping
by. and ="
Il can't wait" MIR. Whimple in
terrupted her pettishly, as if the whole
thing were her fault. He hooked the
cane over his arm and took out a
leather key-case. But here's the key
and you give it to her. Miss Gordon,
please Mr.. Whimple hurried out.
Miss Gordon stared at the key. She
took the other and matched them,
notch for notch, curve for curve. Miss
Gordon looked very quiet sitting
there, but really, she was smelling a
big-sized rat.
Words and phrases of the conversa.
ton she would have with Mrs.
Whimple fioated through her head:
"Yes, Mrs. Whimple, here are the
keys" And Mrs. Whimple
"Keys?"
She placed them on the corner of her
desk. They looked eloquent there.

The whole business became very
boring to Miss Gordon. Mr. Whimple
hadn't come back and Miss Bell was
apparently sober. She put the key in
the top drawer of her desk.
When she looked up again. there
stood Mr.. Whimple doing tricks with
his cane. He liked showing Of in this

n Klss GORDON looked as though
M she we're tipping neat sales
AVA letters for the Asphalt Divi-
sion of Freeman-Jones. Inc, but she
was really doing something much more
unsavory. She was smelling a rat.
1t was now twenty minutes past
two and while Mr.. Whimple and his
secretary. Miss Bell. had not actually
left the Office together. MIR. Whimple
had looked in at noontime and
shouted, "Flandau's, then!'
Miss Bell had shouted merrily back,
''Flandau's!' Ten minutes later she
had placed leghorn picture hat care
fully on her black curls. gathered up
purse and gloves and departed. with
out one confidential tidbit cast in
Miss Gordon's direction.
Thinking it over. Miss Gordon
looked down her nose and shifted. All
she knew of Flandau's was that it had
a green curtain pulled across the front
window and small card announcing,
Luncheon 90; Dinner l.5O."
The mere lunchlng of sales manager
with his secretary had no special sig
nificance, but two hours was a long
time to spend doing it.
Miss Gordon had consumed her own
modest tomato-on-rye with chocolate
milk shake at the Willow Drug Store.
She had taken a walk When she re-
turned at one-fifteen there was still no
sign of the captivating leghorn, or for
that matter, of Mr.. Whimple's pam
anna and jaunty walking stick.
She wondered if there were any
thing serious between Miss Bell and
her boss. She pictured Miss Bell and
Mr.. Whimple laughing weakly over a
small table, - waiter standing near
by with a trayful of cocktails.
The interesting part was that Mrs.
Whimple had just telephoned Mrs.
Whimple had a high. sweet voice. Was
this dear Miss Bell? Was Mr. Whimple
there? No? Well, would dear Miss
Gordon tell Mr.. Whimple she had
come to town after all, and wanted
to run up to the apartment just to see
if everything was in order Unfor-
tunately, she seemed to have mis-
placed her key. Would Miss Gordon
tell MIR. Whimple she was stopping
by to pick up his?
Miss Gordon was very nice on the
telephone. You never knew what a
raise in salary might be due to.
She hoped Miss Bell. Mr.. Whimple
and Mrs. Whimple would all land in
the office together Maybe Miss Bell
would have to grope along the wall for
support. Then Mrs. Whimple would
see that pleasant girl typing letters,
a nice, refined girl who did not go
tottering around with ones husband.
She was disappointed when Miss
Bell returned alone. hung up her hat
and, quite steadily. went to her desk.
I'm terribly late. l was taking an
insurance examination, you know"
oh" Miss Gordon commented.
bleakly. She repeated Mrs. Whimple's
message.
Bother" MIR. Whimple's pretty
secretary exclaimed. wrinkling her
forehead "Iie won't be back She'll
just sit talking our heads off. Why.
that reminds me-" Miss Bell opened
her purse and brought out key-ring.
'Mr. Whimple thought she might be
wanting tina. key. lie gave it to me.
You take it. Miss Gordon, and if I'm
not around see that she gets it,"

FARM AND GARDEN
Fresh, Warm Water Needed
By Livestock


One of the most expensive ways
a farmer can heat water for his
livestock is to let the animals drink
it cold and warm it with. their
bodies.
Giving the animals water at
freezing temperature lowers their
vitality, and seriously curtails the
production of dairy cattle, said Prof.
R. H. Ruffner, head of the State
College animal husbandry depart
ment.
"Can you imagine beef animal
fattening, a calf growing, or a cow
producing large quantities of milk
after becoming thoroughly chilled
and shivering for an hour in over
coming the effects of 10 togo gall
Ions of ice cold water?" he asked.
He estimated that a cow produc-
ing Is pounds of milk day burns
up more than a pound of corn in
warming. the water she drinks when
it is taken into the body at freezing
temperature.
At the State College dairy barn,
where water is supplied at a mod
crate temperature, there are seven
cows producing more than SO
pounds of milk day.
The food burned to warm the wa
ter is needed to maintain the ami
mails vitality, promote growth, and
to produce milk, Prof. Ruffner
pointed out.
To attain her full milk-producing
capacity, he added, cow should be
given all the fresh water she will
drink at a temperature Of 70 de-
grees.
If the water is too cold, she will
not drink enough to maintain a full
milk flow.
The resulting loss may be far
more than the slight cost of provid-
ing animals with water from which
the chill has been taken.

State Must Raise
Extra Money For
OLd-Age Pensions
Major Fletcher Estimates That
From Three To Five Million
Dollars Is Necessary

From $3,6OO,OOO to SIS, 400, 600 must
be raised by taxation in North Car
Dina if the state is to place its esti-
mated 10000 eligible persons on
old-age pensions under the social
security act, Maj. A. L. Fletcher,
state commissioner of labor, predict
ed last week.
The. smaller sum, he estimated,
would care for a $40 per month
pension, while with the larger
amount, the pension could be in
creased to SIS per month. The total
could be derived from both state
and county pensions under the Sc
curity act.
Under terms of the federal law,
the amount provided by state for
old-age pensions would be matched
by an equal amount given by the
federal government.
Fletcher estimated there are some
225, 900 persons in North Carolina
over IS years of age, but said in his
opinion, based on the latest figures
available, the number of such per-
sons who are without means of
support would be only about $4,000.
Fletcher said there is no question
but that the state must have addi-
tional legislation to participate in
the old-age pension plans. He has
demanded a special session for the
enactment of unemployment insur-
ance legislation to conform to the
federal law.
The Cherry enabling act, author
izing the establishment of an unem-
ployment insurance fund, makes no
mention of old-age pensions and
North Carolina is one of the nine
states in the country which do not
have some form of old-age pension
law.
Going on record as favoring old
age pensions in the state, Fletcher
vigorously denounced as utterly
fantastic and fallacious beyond
words" the Townsend plan, but said
it is finding support in North Caro-
lima.
"It is my belief the growing de-
sire for an old-age pension system
could be satisfied by the early en-
actment of a safe and sound old
age pension law in North Carolina"
he said. eff we fail in this, we furn-
ish ammunition for the fanatic and
the radical" NJ
Admitting the magnitude of the
problem, Fletcher nevertheless said
the state would not have to break
new trails to solve it.

Red Squill is rough on rats. But
it does not kill domestic animals or
poultry.
George B. Lay, rodent control
leader of the U. S. biological survey
with headquarters at State College,
said Red Squill is the most nearly
fool-proof rat poison known to man.
It usually drives the rodents un-
derground to die, thereby prevent
ing unpleasant odors. It acts slowly,
Lay added, and does not scare off
late coming rats with the bodies of
dead or dying rats near the bait.
The best time to put out Red
Squill bait, Lay said, is during the
winter when rats and mice leave
the fields and gather in houses, out
buildings, and barns.
Flue-cured Red Squill powder is
better than the sun-cured type, he
pointed out. He recommended that
the poison be mixed with three diff
ferent ingredients to provide a va
riety of bait.
A pound of poison to Is pounds of
hamburger meat makes a good bait,
he said. Or pound of the powder
may be mixed with IS pounds of
cheap canned salmon or mackeral
and a pound of oat meal. Or mix
the poison with Is pounds of corn
meal and enough water to make it
crumbly.
Usually. he said, it helps to put
out some non-poisoned bait for a
few days to get the rodents used to
eating it. Then when the poisoned
bait is distributed, they will eat it
literally.
Place the bait where other ami
mails cannot get it, and where the
rats or mice are likely to run. AL
though Red Squill will not kill 9TH
er animal, it may cause them to
vomit, Lay stated, and then there is
no need to waste the bait by allow
ing the other animals to eat it.

Explains Objection
To Court Decisions
Lack OF Standardization Rather
Than Acts Cause Trouble
For Manufacturers

BURLINGTON, Jan. 8.-"The alb
sence of Standardization in govern
ment is what worries us most" said
a leading hosiery manufacturer
here today, referring to the Su-
preme court decision voiding the
AAA.
"Such upsets simply leave us in
the position of the stranger in New
York who said, L don't know where
I'm at and is doubtful of any direc-
ton leading him anywhere.
Removal of the processing tax is
the item involved which is the chief
concern Of manufacturers. Some re-
ceived notices today on previous
order to cancel unless this tax was
deducted. The wake of it all is tur-
MOL, with executive organizations
within industry at sea with brok-
en- compass to guide them, as far as
the immediate future is concerned.

nor AAA which threw monkey
wrenches into the machine, but
breaking them up just about the
time business had accepted them
and worked them into normal
routine Of business.

Timely Farm Questions Answered
AT State College

AAAAAOAJ AeSA4AA GEsAC0UAOAA0 6AAAS " "a SAA
AT State College
Question: How much fertilizer
should / use on my tobacco plant
bed?
Answer: An application of 200
pounds of a 4-8-3 mixture should be
applied to each 100 square yards of
bed. If a lower grade of fertilizer is
used it can be supplemented with
from so to 100 pounds of cotton
seed meal provided the meal is
thoroughly mixed with the soil. All
fertilizer SHOULD be broadcast and
mixed thoroughly with the top
three or four inches of soil. Do not
use tobacco trash on the beds nor
any manure containing tobacco
leaves, stalks, or roots.
Question: How can I keep my
chickens from picking out their
feathers?
Answer: This trouble is caused by
a small mite that gets into the skin
near the base of the feathers and
causes irritation. To get rid of this
mite the poultry house should be
thoroughly cleaned and sprayed
with a solution of three parts of
crude petroleum or carbolineum
and one and one-half parts of bero-
sene. Dip the birds in a tub contain
ing two ounces of flowers of sulphur
and six ounces of faxed soap to FIVE
gallons of tepid water. Be sure that
the solution gets to the skin.
Question: Should the grain ration
of my dairy cows be increased dur
ing the winter months?
Answer: This depends upon the
quality of hay and the present milk
production. Each animal should
have about three pounds of silage
each day for each 100 pounds of
live weight and all the legume hay
she will consume in two feelings.
When the quality of hay is poor,
more grain will be required for
them. However, no matter what
amount is being fed, if the milk
production remains normal then the
feeding should not be increased .Ex-
tension Circular 1913 gives the grain
rations for different breeds and
amounts of production. This circu-
lar will be sent free upon applica-
ton to the Agricultural Editor at
State College.
