news was received here over the ra

son Drug Store, that Hon. John W.
Davis, of West Virginia, had re
ceived the nomination for President
on the Democratic ticket. After
balloting for more than ten day?
this was probably the happiest so

interesting for the Republican can

HearD
about
TowN
It seems that all our folks who
took oil to Chicago and the World's
Fair last week have come home safe
and sound, so we presume they had
no difficulty in phasing the "big time
gangsters" that we hear so much
about
Heard a farmer say the other day
that he was. going to priming his
crop this past Monday. Well, that's
one thing the government can't
keep him from doing, nor help him
either when old Mother Nature
wants to act a wee bit contrary.
Hurrah for the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration. At last there
is actually slgss of work going on
over at the swimming pool. But,
alas, we are afraid that our accla
mation was a little bit premature,
because they were only putting up
barricades to keep the children from
getting "wet."
From where we work we can ob
serve many things that are going on;
and you know ever since they put
in the Elevette over across the street
we have been seeing more of George
Cushwa than ever before. Wonder
why?
We hear that two of our m06t
prominent citizens, Messrs. Melvin
O'Briant and L. K. Walker, had a
little auto smashup over here at
the swimming pool last week. Looks
like the swimming pool is getting
a lot of folks into trouble.
If you want to find where every
body is these hot days just go out
to Miss Katie Sue Russell's lake
and there you, will find all who can
get in the water; they are there
.trying to cool off. (Should we say
Miss Katie Sue Russell's lake or
Katie Sue's and Charlie's lake, or
Mr. and . Mrs. Charles Nelson's
lake). We don't know but we keep
hearing it rumored around that Miss
Katie Sue Russell and Charles Nel
son tied the knot of matrimony last
week; if it is true, then we wish
to extend congratulations and wish
them many years of happiness.
FACTS
If you are stitching seams of any
heavy material such as crStonne or
canvas, rub the seams with any good
hard soap and the needle will go
through the-goods very easily with
out breaking.
Onion On Hands
After peeling onions rub a little
dry mustard on the hands, rinse in
cold water and all onion odor will
be gone.
When Coffee Spills
To remove fresh coffee stains
from the table linen, dampen a
cloth with cold water and rub gen
tly. One or two applications will
usually be sufficient.
Burned Vegetables
When vegetables bum in cooking,
take the kettle off of the stove and
put in a basin of cold water until
cool. Remove the vegetables into
another kettle and they will not
ta6te burned.
Hurdle Mills P. T. A.
To Meet On Friday
On next Friday evening at 7:15
o'clock, a meeting will be held at
the Hurdle Mills high school build
ing by the local P. T. A. This meet
ing will be held principally for the
purpose of getting a canning project
started that all surplus vegetables
may be taken care of so that they
may be used in soup next winter.
Every former and present member
of the P. T. A. is urged to be pres
ent, and anyone else who is interest
ed. whether married or single, is re
quested to come. The social com
mittee. Mr. H. B. Gentry and Mes
dames N. D. Harris and Earle Long,
will have something isteresting for
the group after all business is dis
posed of.
Please come on time as we want
to be through by dark.

Missionary society, presented |
Rogers with a hat to show him how
much the ladies of the church ap-1
predated a man of his calibre, and,:
in Mrs. Carven's own words, the
ladies always-like to top the thing
toff. Mr. Rogers' expressed his ap
preciation for the opportunity for
service and the cooperation of all
i the folks of Lea's Chapel during his
years there and he told one or two
amusing incidents of his first years
, as steward. He is probably one of
,the few men of the Methodist
i Church who started out as a ste
i ward at the tender age of eighteen,
j and it is conceded that he is among
,the very few who have served for
i fifty years continuously,
j All the congregation was invited
(to partake of the most bountiful
lunch that the ladies had spread
i under the trees of the lawn. After!
lunch Rev. J. P. Herbert of Long
| Memorial Church, preached an in
spiring message to the large congre
gation which gathered to hear him.
During the afternoon service a quar
jtet composed of Messrs. Harold Per
ikins, Rufus Woodard, Howard
; Young and Boyd sang some beau
tiful selections. Then Messrs. Wood
ard and Perkins sang a beautiful
duet. j
i These services market the begin
ning of a series of revival services
that are being conducted by the
pastor. Rev. E. B. Craven, all this
week at Lea's Chapel. 1
GUESTS
1 Did you ever stop to think that
people read newspapers because they
want them? The newspaper is not
forced on anyone. People pay for it.
'and pay for it regularly. Whole fam- j
I llies await it eagerly and quarrel
j good-naturedly over their Individ-1
ual turns to read it. Each praises
and criticises it as one is prong to
criticise the other members of the,
[ family. The newspaper is a definite
part of the family. That is why its
sales force is immeasurable. Door
to door salesmen use all kinds of in-1
genious devices to get inside the
home. But the newspaper is a wel
come guest. One type of selling is p
forced, the other type is received
cordially. Door to door handbills
are an intrusion upon the privacy
of the home, but the newspaper is
invited in. Its messages are read
avidly and its advertisements Jare
considered a part- at these messages.
The newspaper is so definitely a
part of the people, so much an ac
cepted member of the family that!
its pages constitute the finest ad
vertising medium yet devised.?Q

HUNTING STAMP
TO RESTORE
WATERFOWL
When hunters plank down a dol
lar for the new Federal huntinf
stamp at their nearest post office
they will receive no ordiftary car
rier of musilage. Nearly twice th<
size of a special_delivery stamp, th(
hunting" stamp shows a waterfow
scene which Is the work of J. N
("Ding" Darling, who was a nation
ally known cartoonist long .befori
he became chief, a few months ago
of the Biological Survey, U. S. De
partment of Agriculture.
"No, one, however," says Mr. Dar
ling, "is under any obligation to kil
a duck just because he owns a Fed
eral hunting stamp, nor is there an;
rule to prevent a man who wants t<
help restore the migratory water
fowl from purchasing several 01
these duck-saving stamps. Everj
dollar will be devoted to the caus<
of conservation."
Authorized by the recent Congresi
and to be issued shortly by the Post
Office Department, the new stamp
will be on sale at po6t offices in al
county seats, in all towns with pop
ulations of 250 or more! and ir
certain waterfowl centers. The sap
of stamps will provide funds to helj
conserve ducks and geese and othei
migratory waterfowl by the estab
lishment of sanctuaries. Everyon<
over 16 years of age who hunts mi
gratory waterfowl is required to havt
a Federal hunting stamp in hi:
possession, affixed to the regular
State hunting license or to a special
certificate furnished by. the post
master if a hunting license is noi
required.
Over-shooting and the effects ol
the prolonged drought, the Biologi
cal Survey explains, have seriqtfsl;
decreased the supply of waterfowl
Drainage operations in past year:
have destroyed millions of acres of
marsh and water-areas formerly in- i
habited by waterfowl, fishes, and
fur-bearing animals. Much of the
land so drained has turned out to
be practfcally useless for farming
or for any other purpose. The money
received from the sale of the new
hunting stamp will be used to rem-:
edy these mistakes of the past by'
restoring some of this wasted land j
to the country's wild life and to I
purchase other marsh lands not yet
destroyed.
Not all the money for this restor
ation program, the Bureau points
out, will come from the pockets of
the sportsmen, however, for the
President, recognizing that wildlife,
like the forests, tf a valuable na
tional resource, is planning to de
vote additional sums, to extending
the sanctuary system. The stamp
sale will probably provide funds
ranging between $ 6 0 0,0 0 0 and
$1,000,000 annually, according to es
timates by the Biological Survey.

DANGEROUS ERRORS
This week I observed a circum
stance that Impressed me profound
ly, and which I deem worth passing I
along to you.
A young man had been complain-1
ing with "a pain In his side" which
he attributed to lifting a heavy ob-1
ject of some kind; it was-deep-seat-,
ed pain, rather low down in the
right flank. He kept on with his
duties about the farm and was an-1
noyed a week or more. He noticed ,
the pain getting more pronounced, |
and spoke oftener to his mother
about it. |
A bad taste in his mouth?and
constipation?led the mother to a'
family diagnosis?he was "bilious"; J
I "his liver; was torpid," and was com
mon with him at times. There was
no fever apparent, and he remained
up and around, until?
The administered a full dose of
liver pills?the sort that never has
failed. These acted with violence,,
and the boy went to bed with alarm- ;
ing symptoms! The-family physi-i
cian was called, who saw the serious |
nature of the trouble?appendicitis j
with abscess! The heavy cathartic,
had all but killed the young man! j
He was hurried away to a hos-,
pital in the big city, where the fa-1
cilities for operation were ample.
The surgeons found a ruptured ab
scess of the appendix, with perito
nitis already set In. The giving of
an irritating physic was a most
dangerous thing to do, under the
circumstances.
They saved his life, but It was a
close call. It took four times as
much hospital attention. Including
several transfusions of blood, to
keep the pulses going.
I have written several letters on
this subject, and I hope this further
warning Is not superfluous; NEVER
give a harsh purgative in case of
an abdominal pain.
HINTS FOR
THE HOME
Drop a few lumps of sugar in the
rinse water for dainty lingerie. It
will take the place of the usual
starching, making it beautiful after
ironing.
To be sure that net curtains will
hang straight after laundering, put
them on the poles at the window
while they are still yet. When
they dry they'll fall In graceful
folds.
Another method for removing
the scorch is to boil the cloth in
milk and turpentine to which soap
has been added. When dried in the
sun, the scorch will disappear.
Rather than rub silk on a board
when washing, sponge the silk with
a piece of flannel in lukewarm^B
water. ,
X * *
Flannels should be washed in
tepid water with a pure white soap. j
Wash flannels by squeesing rather
than rubbing them in soapy water.
A good cleansing mixture for re
moving spots is made of -1% drams
ether, C drams alcohol, 1% drams of
chloroform and 1 pint of naptha.
Fabrics may be soaked in this mix
ture without injury, and there'll- be
no rings left when it is used to re
move spots.
If chewing gum has been acci
dentally dropped on clothes, simply
hold a piece of ice over the spot
tightly for a few minutes. This
hardens the gum-and it can then
be scraped or brushed off readily.
Velvet, held over a gallon of boil
ing water to which a half cup of
ammonia has been added will be
restored to its original, fresh ap
pearance. The pile of the velvet
should be held Inwards.
