ITEMS FROM THE DEMOCRAT OF JUNE 13. 1907 The boarders are coming in rath er slowly, due to the cold weather. Miss All ce Boyden, who spent the winter and spring in Hickory, re turned to her home here last Mon Harley Brendall, of the D. & D. School in Morganton, is spending bis vacation with his parents. Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Brendall of Boone. Rev. W. A. Deaton. field misssion ary for the Lutheran Church of North Carolina, will preach at Mt. Zion on Friday, Saturday and Sun day next, at 2:30 each day.

WALKER Oppoaita Posioffice 30 cents tax on the $100 valuation of property, 90 cents on the poll, and 10 days work lor each hand subject to road duty witlun the corporate liq&ts of the tow n oi Boone, will eviaently soon put our streets and sidewalks in good con dition. The new board of aldermen, much to their credit, have given us just this, boys. The school continues to grow as the days go by, and a splendid look ing student body it is. We are told that the enrollment has far passed ' the 100 mark, with many others al- ' ready here who have not yet regis tered. At the University commencement Governor Glenn and Governor Ay cock were each given the degree of L.L.D. State College Hints For Home-makers Enough of the right tools for the job makes for efficiency in the kitchen, as in any other workshop. But too many utensils, like too many cooks, have the opposite effect. Dup licates and unnecessary extras that tend to collect in kitchen drawers and cupboards take up space, slow down work, and waste time and energy. Occasional weeding out of all kitchen equipment that does not do j enough work for its keep is recom- ' mended by home management spe- ' cialists. Get rid of the unnecessary i pans and kettles, the broken knife or wobbly egg beater, and the fancy I gadgets that have proven unsuc-i cessful. One of a kind is enough for many | items of equipment ? one knife i Sharpener, for example, and one I bottle opener instead of a handful as in many kitchen drawers. Sometimes doubles make for ef ficiency, however. Two measuring cups, one for dry and one for liquid ingredients, are needed for rapid work. Twin sets of salt and pepper, one at the stove and one at the mix ing center ? save steps. The truly convenient kitchen has I what is needed where and when it is needed ? and nothing more. Homamkers will find it pays to set aside 15 minutes each day to orga nize work plans for the day ? the meals, the cleaning activities, some time to guide the children's play, a period for relavation.

In reporting what life insurance did in general in the past yai, Tul ly D. Blair, Vice-President and Agency Manager of the company said, "Life Insurance payments helped countless members of United States' families in their time of j greatest need. They paid off mort gages on homes and farms from one coast to the other. They started boys and girls oi. their college careers. They helped thousand* of policy owners to set up a business of their own, and provided many ? thers the means for comfortable retirement when they reach old age."
