Davis) —o— Be sure to read that “Wanted” from' the Dunn Dispatch. We are running it free because of several things. It may be all true —but honestly, do you j really believe that part about no cross word in 45 years? Have you ever noticed that when a cow is staked out to graze the very first thing she does is to go as far as I ossjihle in every direction? I've of ten thought that a great many folks are just like that, l’he big trouble is] that often there are no stakes to j which folks are anchored to keep them from going too far. It might ; also be noted that just as the length , of rope given the cow is gauged by | < a higher intelligence, than the cows, j 1 so are the boundaries set for humans | placed by authority above their own. j ‘ —o — Our garden was nothing to brag about at any time this year; but the only total and complete failure was the squash. I asked the head gar dener to plant only a tew hills, since 1 the vines bear heaviy and we care more for many other vegetables than fir squash. He planted more than I ; thought necessary—as usual. The ; first thing I found wrong was that |( the vines were not rank looking, and that instead of the bush crookr.eck ] kind we’ve been having the«e were trying to run. Then the dry weather came on and the vines no longer ran ( but crept along the ground like weak, sick kittens. It worried me so I near ly pulled them up, but decided if it ever did rain, they might bear a f a ll crop. This morning—Monday— I went out to hunt something for din ner. (We didn't have enough scraps left from Sunday to make soup). I thought of the squash vines and went to the far corner of the garden where they are. And at lost I found out exactly the trouble with those vines. They aren’t squash, at all, but gourds, and the vines arc lull. They are very very small, yellow and green suiped, with little handles cut" as can b“, hut no help at mealtime. We’ve de cided that the seed came from a tiny gourd given our grandson last sum mer in Virginia, from which the *eed were carefully saved, but not labeled. Since we do not know the piopm -1 of meal Elisha told the young preach ers to put into the pot to kid the poison in the gourds they cooked, ours are no use to us. At the Home Demonstration Club Mrs. K. P. Leonard gave us the fol-, lowing method of killing flies before they are really flies—in other words, before they hatch. She says her hus band sprinkles acid phosphate in the mule’s stall and in the runway of the ( barn about every ten days, and that j two pounds will do at a time. This kills the larvae and flies do not bother the Leonard home. Before this was done there was a veritable plague of them to fight. I I called Prof. Massey and asked him if this amount of acid phosphate would hurt stock, if they should try' to lick it from the ground. (Thej Leonards do not keep a cow, and cows are such geese about licking; poisons.) Mr. Massey said the amount used would, be thought, be quite harmless to any stock; bo I am glad ly passing on this information to you. I’m going to try it myself. The acid phosphate used is what is sold as fertilizer. Aa a paper The Record and ita makers realize itg size, its lack of size h&3 ha many *n3 varied Short comings. For that reason when we CS-hr 2?huUnt Stecwd * . do have a chance to brag it is all the more welcome. And we claim to be the first paper to give a write-up of Hoover carts. ’Way back yonder we .-poke of them. And now the really big papers are giving space to these modern vehicles. But The Zebulon Record was first in it. However, we ■ are modest in our triumph. We claim no special news sense, nor did we travel far to learn of Hoover cartg. That was one time the news came | rolling right by our door—drawn by .a mule. Our oldest son, home for two weeks from the Canal Zone, was more de lighted with these carts than with anything else he saw new' while he was here. One with a spare tire fascinated him, and one with a rum ble sent brought forth cries of joy. Mrs. Hall, here on vacation from Halifax County, Va., says they have no Hoover carts up there yet. She, *oo, was much impresged with the cleverness of the idea and the variety of the carts. As for me, I’m still wanting to ride in one.

Police Raid One night lately the police raided l a house near the oil mill in Zebulon. ! Two women live inthe house, and a certain young man has been sus- Ipected of making the house head quarters for his boot leg trade. The officers lay in wait for him. A car • drove up, he came out to deliver his “goods,” the officers, hiding near by, “raided” him. Then he showed his superior wisdom, the officers said, by breaking the containers on the porch floor, and when accused of possession, was astonished beyond measure to be thought so wicked. Anyway, the “evidence” to the officers was too strong to their nostrils to forget and they brought the young man along with them to the city lodging house.
