Movement To Dust
President OF North
Carolina University

The daily newspapers report that
movement is being definitely
launched to bring about the dis
placement of DR.. Frank Graham as
president of the University of North
Carolina at the June meeting of the
university trustees.
Reports say that it has been
learned from authoritative sources
that alumni and other groups in the
state who are pressing for the de-
thronement of Graham were pivot
ing their campaign around these
factors:
THAT DR.. Graham's administra-
ton of affairs at the University has
been offensive to powerful infiuen-
tial and financial interests in and
out of the state to such an extent
that further monetary support of
the institution from such affiuent
sources is being imperilled:
2-That friction has developed
amid the administrative units of the
Greater University with a conse-
quent lack of unity of faculty pur-
pose and control and cohesion of eff
fort within the individual units.
3-That DR.. Graham's policies
have been an affront to the conserv-
alive mind of the State, his well
known liberalistic views having
been so persistently expressed in
public and in his handling of the
duties of the chief administrative
officer of the institution that criti-
cism has become widespread.
4-That the important groups of
alumni are vigorously opposed to
the removal of the engineering
school from Chapel Hill to the cam
pus of State college and that it is
felt that DR.. Graham's espousal of
such action is prejudical to the fu-
ture development of the University
of its Chapel Hill seat.
5-That DR.. Graham's program
for publication of athletics at the
two units of the University, which
he has succeeded in having adopted
by the Southern Conference, has
outraged the athletic-minded body
Of the alumni of the institution and
created in them feeling of resent
ment that will impair the future
usefulness of President Graham as
head of the institution.

GUARD EWES AGAINST
LANDING PARALYSIS

Landing paralysis, the cause of
which is not definitely known, is a
disease common to farm flocks but
seldom found on the open range.
1t strikes ewes in an advanced
stage of pregnancy, and lack Of ex-
ercise appears to be one of the con-
tributing factors, said DR.. G. D.
Grinnells, veterinarian with the N.
c. Agricultural Experiment Sation.
G. Agricultural Experiment Station.
Storms and heavy snowfalls seem
to increase the incidence of the di-
sease, he said. Some research work
ers are of the opinion that under
feeding and unbalanced feeding al
so are causes of the disease.
The symptoms are dizziness, walk
ing in circles, or standing with the
head pressed against some object.
The head may be drawn to the side,
or the animal may be lying down
with the head turned aside. An in
creased thirst, loss of appetite,
blindness, paralysis, and convul-
sions are commonly noted.
Many sheep breeders, as well as
veterinarians, feel that an ample
allowance of a balanced ration,
forced exercise if necessary, and
sufficient calcium preferably sup
piled by a good legume hay? are
important factors in preventing the
disease. Feeding molasses and
steamed bone meal is also recon-
mended.
Veterinarians report that benefi-
cial results have been obtained
from intravenous injections of cal
cium gluconate.
One way of forcing sheep toexer-
else is to spread hay over a field in
small punches so the animals will

President Roosevelt
TO Sign Anti-WGr Bill

President Roosevelt announced
Friday that before Saturday mid
night he would sign the new neu-
trality law expiration from Febru-
airy 20 to May l, 1887. It would con-
tinue the present embargo on ship
ment of arms and munitions to bell
igerents and, in addition, embargo
loans to belligerents.
Further, it would make the law
apply to all nations entering war,
instead of just the first participants
as provided in the present law. It
would exempt the American repub-
lies when at war with non-Ameri-
can nations but not when allied
with non-American nations in a
war against another nation.
While the President was prepar-
ing to sign the measure, Senator
Thomas, Democrat, Utah, urged in
an address that the new theory of
peace through neutrality be accom-
panied by campaign to educate
the world to the profits of peace.

Norris Dam Gates
TO Be Closed Soon

Impounding of water behind the
$34,000,000 Norris dam is expected
to begin soon, the Tennessee Valley
authority announced Friday.
Two large roller type tractor
gates, each weighing 121 tons, will
close the intakes to turbines in the
Norris dam power house when the
plant is idle.
With the gates in place, sluice-
ways through which the Clinch riv-
er flows, can be closed, resulting in
formation of the 83-square-mile
Norris reservoir.

N. J. Governor And
Police Head Argue
Kaufman Case
Bases Action In Reprieving Bruno
On Belief That kidnapping Was
Not A One-Man Job

Governor Hoffman, of New Jer-
sey and the state head of the police,
Col. Norman Schwarzkopf, are at
swords points in bitter disagree
ment over the Hauptmann death
sentence. Hoffman holds that the
crime was not committed by one
man and many points are yet un-
solved. Schwarzkopf contends that
a jury has found Hauptmann guilty
and that he deserves the death SEN
tence whether he was helped by
several persons or whether he COM
mitted the crime alone.
The Governor caustically de-
scribes the Lindbergh kidnap inves-
tigation as the "most bungled case
in police history"
''My opinion, which is shared by
thousands of people," the Governor
wrote to Schwarzkopf, "is that the
Lindbergh kidnapping, murder and
extortion of $4,000 was not 'one
man job"
"IncOntrOvertible Proof"
Inordering the case reopened a
month ago, Gov. Hoffman sent to
Schwarzkopf a long brief, setting
forth what he called "incontrover-
tible proof that more than one per-
son was involved in the crime. He
instructed Schwarzkopf to make
weekly reports.
If Shwartzkopf feels now, the
Governor wrote Saturday, that the
case las solved with the arrest and
conviction of Bruno Hauptmann,
under sentence to die the week of
Marc 80, it is his duty to so advise
the Governor, and to answer ''the
questions l submitted in my letter
of January Is"
The governor said: cat what I
consider to be the proper time l
will lay the facts before YOU

Schwarzkop on January 26 dealt
with the Governors belief that
more than one person was involved
in the crime and pointed to things
written and said by DR.. John F.

airy, which he took as indications

not alone.

Question:: Can winter hay crops
be grazed in the spring and still
make a good crop of hay?
Answer: All early-soWn hay crops
can be grazed lightly during the
month of March without serious in
jury. Grazing, however, should be
discontinued by April 1, if a full
crop of hay is desired. This will
leave amply time for the crops to
mature before the hay is cut. Small
grains are cut from hay when in
the dough stage and legumes are
cut when in full bloom.

Question: What feed should be
given the eve just before Landing
time?
Answer: During severe weather
or when grazing is not available,
each eye should receive about two
pounds of good lebume hay each
day. Dat hay, corn fodder, bright
straw or grass hay may be used in
larger quantities if legume hay can
not be obtained, but timothy hay
should never be fed to sheep. A
small grain ration consisting of one
half pound of corn and oats, or corn
alone, should be fed daily to eve
for three or four weeks before
lanbing, providing the legume hay
is used. Otherwise the grain ration
should contain between 80 and IS
percent cottonseed meal or linseed
oil meal.

FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED
AT STATE COLLEGE

Question: Is barley a satisfactory
poultry feed?
Answer: This grain is an excel
lent feed, although not as palatable
as corn or wheat. Experimental
work indicates that barley can be
substituted for yellow corn in the
chick ration provided a liberal sup
ply of alfalfa meal is added to sup
ply the necessary vitamin "a"
Without the alfalfa meal, however,
this substitution should never con-
stitute over thirty percent Of the
grain ration.

POST RIDERS HAD TO TOTE
MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES

/. From early Colonial times the
post riders had been in the habit of
carrying, in addition to the mails,
a considerable amount of miScel-
leneous material for delivery from
one to another of the farmers, VIII
layers or storekeepers along their
routes. The private services which
they rendered included the transfer
of valuables, for which the mails did
not provide, the making of pur-
chases in town and even the deliv-
cry of livestock or the arranging for
the hire of teams or Jokes Of oxen
between distant inhabitants.
The fees for these extra services
were what made the position Of post
rider worth while for the govern
ment compensation for the mail
alone was so small that without
these additional amounts there was
barely a living in it. The same sys-
tenn was continued on into the
stage coach days, and later, when
the stage lines were replaced by
the railroads and many Of the stage
hands had become conductors and
brakemen on the trains, we find
these trainmen carrying on private
letter and parcel deliveries for which
neither the government nor the
railroads received any compensa-
ton.
AS the mails at the time the rail-
roads began were badly organized
and slow, and as the rates were high
and also they made no provis-
ion for the transfer Of parcels or
valuables. it is readily seen how the
public availed itself Of the sure and
rapid services Of these railroad
trainmen and how in q few years
a considerable volume Of business
was found going by these private
means.
