K.

Rowell, County Agent for the Agricultural Extension Service, in company with Mr. W. W. Shay, Swine Extension Specialist, departed from the usual methods of buying pure bred stock for North Carolina farmers, and, instead taking a train to the State North and West in the corn belt, they purchased a local ticket to Iredell, Catawba and Haywood counties in North Carolina, where they secured good pure bred stock at reasonable prices. Only the best pigs were secured, these being personally inspected and passed upon by Agent Howell before bidding them in.

The first visit was. made to several Iredell county farms where a list of good animals was secured. The next stop was at Newton, in Catawba county, where, with the assistance of Mr. J. C.

Phelps, County Agent, and Miss Mary Rowe, former Home Demonstration Agent, an additional number of hogs were inspected and listed for later buying. The last day was spent in Haywood county, Mr. Shay's former home, where a good number of hogs also were inquested by the farmers of this county spected. In every case, the prices rewere considerably 'less than those demanded in the other two counties where. agents are employed.

In fact, the farmers of Haywood county had been selling their blooded stock at pork prices; but, in one place whore the owner had refused to part with his nice pure breds at such a sacrifice, Mr. Rowell succeeded in listing a number of good animals. MUCH WORK IS DONE AT LOCAL CANNERY Fruits and Vegetables Should Be Sent in Day Before Canning Is To Be Done Numerous complaints are coming from different sections of the State in regard to the character of matches! being offered for sale, and the Insu 'ance Commissioner is directing the attention of wholesale dealers, brokers and merchants to the fact that while the State law provides that only safety matches as prescribed by the law can be sold in this State, it does not allow the placing market of any but first class The Commissioner calls attention also, to the fact that while this North Carolina tsautte allows only safety matches to be offered for sale, it also specifies that these matches must be of good material and manufacture or else they become unsafe. The Commissioner expresses the hope that the dealers will see that the matches they offer for sale conform with the law both as to their safety type of manufacture, and as to the service quality of the stems, as well as the striking surface, and that it will not become necessary for him to invoke the law to stop continued sales of inferior matches. The complaint being registered against matches, includes not only a dispositien on the part of the striking surface to fail to strike promptly and adequately, when passed over the safety striking surface but also a tendency of the wood stem to split and snap off because it is too inferior to bear the strain of the required stroke in the progress of igniting the match.

All these defects are prohibited in the North Carolina, statute and Commissioner prepared to proceed against any dealers who continue offering matches that are defective in any of these respects. Asked To Meet At Court House. Mr. J. H.

Catch him and let me cut his d-d head off and I'll give you twenty dollars!" Just as seriously as Patrick Henry uttered his immortal liberty phrase, just so serious did D.

W. Miller, 18-year-old telegraph operator at Mount Olive, join together an appeal, a threat and offer of reward and shout them at Detective Tom Crabtree yesterday afternoon. The object was stopped all right but there was no throat slashing. stead, pursuer and pursued were landed in the station house to await this morning's session of city court. Miller, on the first.

lap of a long anticipated vacation, came to Raleigh with a roll of yellow and green money big enough to invite court from bankers, rived brokers and yesterday bond morning holders. and He while arearly awaiting for the town to get into its working clothes, he lingered about the station. And that is how it came about that he bumped into Charles Evander, who claims to have hoboed his way to North Carolina from Maine after getting a discharge from navy. Give the Town the 0. 0.

Evander looked as if he were willing to give the town the o. 0. Miller didn't want to exploit the State Capital alone So he invited his hobo friend to join him in sight seeing. Suiting the action to the word, the pair whizzed about in a taxi viewing things historic and otherwise and wound up the morning with lunch in one of the swellest eating places the town, After lunch, they got behind a couple of Havanas with gold bands (both are fond of music) and, resumed their search for amusement. picked Davie street and wandered on.

Turning off Davie, they went on Watson street and visited the home of Alice Griffin. And that is where all the trouble started und the Griffin woman, in spite of many protests, will be a witness in court this morning. But the main story: At the home of Alice Griffin, Miller left the reception room entrusting $205 to his hobo friend, distrusting, he told Chief Barbour, his female friend. Crash! And Out The Window. Evidently $205 meant much in the young life of Evander.

Just as soon as Miller disappeared safely in an adjoining room, ho sacheted through a window, the big roll clutched tightly in his hand. The Griffin woman heard the window crash and inquired of Miller what it meant. Miller sensed the situation in a jiffy, though in the meantime the party had partaken of much liquor. Again the action was suited to the word and Miller went another window, minus shoes, hat. Evander through, had a lead of a hundred yards but Miler had a ten second record.

Watson street and into Lane's bottom went the thief and his late buddy. It was in the hottest part of the afternoon, but East Raleigh was witnessing a new Marathon record. The pair were running, they were passing houses like a travelogue goes down a scenic railway. They rounded corners so To build up a store which knowing people will seek, inevitably, has been a good plan--we have found.

McLeod Watson CLOTHES OF QUALITY ONE PRICE TO ALL fast until Evander's coat pocket dipped up sand. Crabtree Happens Along. Chief Barbour and a Detective Crabtree were in that part of town to find some petty thieves who had been stealing fruit.

And Crabtree saw the human speed kings coming. When Miller saw Crabtree, it was then that he screamed aloud: "Catch him, mister! Catch him and let me cut his d-d head off and I'll give you twenty dollars." Crabtree caught-Evander and Miller. He found out what it was all about, got $145 from Evander and asked him where the rest was. It wasn't on the hobo's person and the officers concluded that it was lost in the chase. By this time, the liquor was working and hobo and benefactor were groggy.

So the officers took charge of the money and the boys, brought them to the station and locked the two up overnight. Judge Harris will pass judgment this morning.
