prosperous Negro business enterprises of
Roanoke during the past eleven years has
proved to be The Roanoke Tribune OF
which the Rev. F. E. Alexander is the eff
ficient Editor Like grain of mustard
seed, it was planted in 1911 and has
grown steadily and continuously into a
tree that has become an attraction to the
community with branches extending far
beyond the borders of the city and vicin-
ity.
Coming from its former location in the
Clayton gas station and garage near the
corner Of jefferson Street and Gilmer
Avenue, N. w, where it operated for
many years, it is now located in it's new
home, 312 First Street, N. w, between
Wells and Gilmer Avenues, N. w. En-

it is now comfortably and attractively set
tied with a plenty of room, and superior
facilities for a bigger and better business.

This does not mean, of course, that q

Charlottesville High School Agricultural
Department Conducts BIoodless
De-Horning Demonstration

The agricultural department of the
Jackson p. Burley High School conducted
de-horning demonstration last week on
Mount Armour Farm, near Avon, in Mel
son County.
The purpose of the demonstration was
to acquaint the Institutional On-Farm
trainees New Farmers of America boys,
and other persons with bloodless de
horning method, which uses specially COM
pound rubber rings.
An instrument called an ''elastrator,'
is used for stretching the rings so they
can be placed in position to cut off the
blood supply. With the blood cut off at
the base of the horn, the horn drops off
in between three and eight weeks, de
pending on the size of the horn, texture
of the tissue and placement of the ring.
j. S. Roye, veterans instructor pointed
out advantages of this dehorning method
as being simple and easy with the "elas-
TRAITOR" preventing artery pulling, skull
injury and bringing little danger of sinus
infection and requiring little time for the
operation. 1t can also be done in any
weather and causes the animal only a
fraction of the pain suffered by clipping
or saving, he noted.
