THE RIGHT DOLL A I 1
Capt. Robt. Dollar, 88 years o<
say? the world is “ a fine place, j
you want to work.” Capt. Dolh
ought to know. He began work 7
years ago, at a salary of 60 cents <
week, and carried his wages home to'
his mother to help in the support of'
the family. He is still at work, going
«very morning to his office. He has
made millions and is now dean of
American shipping men At 80 years
of age he began his round the world
steamship service, which is his great
est enterprise.
He has never feared work norj
poverty. One he has made his friend*
and the other has been driven away.l
It’s a great combination —man and.
work.

VICTORY CAMPAIGN
GETTING RESULTS
C. L. Shuping, of Greensboro,
State chairman of the Democratic
Victory Campaign, declared yester
day that progress thus far in the
campaign is encouraging and indica
tive of successful results in this
State.
The nation-wide campaign was
launched to raise funds for the Dem
ocratic party to pay off old obliga
tions and set up a war chest for the
approaching campaign. It seeks to
raise $1,500,000 for this purpose.
Chairman Shuping said that since
the drive was launched in North
Carolina 315 contributors had do
nated $7,253 to the campaign and the
drive is gaining momentum every
day. He emphasized that it was a
j Democratic project for Democrats,
that its purpose is to give every
Democratic voter in the State —not
just a few heavy donors —the oppor
tunity to participate in the party’s
campaign and eminent victory.
Mrs. Frank Castlebury, chairman
of the Wake county campaign, said
last night that full reports from
precinct chairmen in Wake had not
been as yet, but that they
would he for publication in
the next several days. Indications
are, however, that the drive in this
county is making satisfactory prog
ress.
Every precinct in the county has
been organized for the campaign and
workers have been busy in its inter
ests since ti «* drive was officially
launched about two weeks ago.

STATISTICS ON, HOME CANNING
Approximately ’three million cans
of food material were conserved by
* farm women of Morth Carolina in
U 931 as a result oi planned action and
| organized procedure by the home
■demonstration department ol the N.
X State College agricultural exten
sion service, Mrs. .Tane S. McKimmon,
head of home da monstration work,
announced.
This canning program last year was
one of the mos\ carefully planned
1 efforts in which c ounty home agents
and other workers of the home
demonstration department have ever
engaged. 1
Mrs. McKimmon said the three mil
lion cans filled were reported large
ly from those counties where home
j agents are employed, sine no ac
curate statistics could be Obtained
from counties without these workers.
One other ne-.v method of attack
ing the problem was put into opera
tion in 1931. -V cannimr budget was
| worked out hv the nutrition special
ist Miss Mary Thompson, who outlin
ed a standard of 57 pints of a variety
of vegetables and 45 pints of a va
riety of fruits as being needed for
each person in a family for one year
The family needs could then he ascer
tained on this budget as a basis.
Mrs. McKimmon says she has defi
nite reports that 5,018 North ( aro
tina farm families canned on such a
basis.

Zebulon. N. C. Every crop.
"A formula for
day than when prosperity was at its
height, she stat-s.
“The homemaker who turns to
home baking as a means of balancing
a reduced budget is heading in the
right direction,” Miss Stone stated.
“Home baking is usually from 20 to
40 per cent cheaper even after a rea
sonable allowance is made for the
value of one’s time.” Besides, there
are thrills and joys in home baking,
that cannot possibly be known to the
woman who feeds her family on ‘store’
products.”
Miss Stone gives the following
“hints” to homemakers who wish to
create baked articles of which they
can be proud: 1. Use self-rising flour,
2. Avoid u.->ing lowgrade flour. Self
rising flour is simply plain floui
which has been especially prepared
and preleavened for home baking pur
poses. This means that the house
wife need not concern herslf with s
lecting, measuring and mixing bak
ing powder to the flour, nor with ad
ding salt or soda. The saving of
baking powder explains its economy.
It is also easy to use and a great
time-saver because it need be sifted
hut once and little stirring is requir
ed. All this applies of course, only
to the high grades of flour. There
may he a difference of a few cents
between a 24-pound sack of low
grade flour, but the good quality
flour, not only makes superior pro
ducts but i- actually more -ec momi
cal as less shortening is required.
“By using a high grade Hour in
stead of low grade the housewife
saves an appreciable amount in short
ening. and by selecting self-rising
flour instead of plain she saves the
cost of baking powder, salt—about
50 cents on each small sack of flour,”
declares Miss Stone. “Thus, baking
with high grade self-rising flour in
stead of low grade plain flour will
save about 37 cents on the dollar, and
give much better results in the bar
gain,”
