BIRTHDAY PARTY
On last Friday evening a crowd of
about forty little people were gathered
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Hudson In honor of LuctleV nlneth
birthday, "and were joyously entertain
ed from six-thirty to eight o'clock.
First, children were asked
to sit-down- on the lawn in a circle
and each one was given a sheet of
crepe paper and only three pins with
which to make them a hat, a prize
being offered the one making the pret
tiest hat. Little Darrel Perry won the
prize ? a box of candy.
Next, the birthday cake was brought
out with a huge ting in the center and
each child was asked to comeseperate
ly and cut a slice from the cake, the
first one shaking the ring being re
quired to pick U up with his teeh. The
cake looked just like a "Siure-enough"
birthday cake, covered with Icing, but
much to the childrens surprise when
they began cutting, it proved to be
nothing but flour. Lewis Wheless was
the first to make the ring tumble and
gave all the children a hearty laugh
when he came, up with it in his teeth
and his face covered with flour.
Now the children were all asked to
go on a fishing excursion, were given
a rod and line and Instructed to put
the hook through the parlor window
and to their delight every child pulled
out a big candy fish. Then came the
umbrella game. The picture of a lady
with outstretched hand was put up on
the wall and each child given a paper
umbrella, then blindfolded and told to
pen the umbrella as nearly as possible
to the ladleB hand. Gillie Sue Peoples
won the prize for getting the nearest,
a box of chewing gum and Douglas
Perry the booble prize for getting the
fartherest awajr. a little comic doll.
Then came the real birthday cake.
Ice cream, fruit punch etc., after which
the children bade their little hostess
good bye, tell ng her what a lovely
time they had had, but the fun was
not nearly over for Luclle, for there
were all those little mysterious pack-*
ages to be opened, she Invited one or

MR. GEORGE L. COOKE
Cashier Citizens Bank of Franklinton
Cooke was appointed Chairman !
of the Agricultural Committee of the
North Carolina Bankers Association at ;
Its meeting In Ashevllle In June. This ;
Is a signal honor to Mr. Cooke and his '
many friends delight In knowing that
his generous services to the farmers
of Franklin County Is being noticed
by the State. Mr. Cooke Is especially
interested in the Agricultural devel
opment of Frankllnton township and
Franklin County. Last year he intro
ducer and sponsored the growing of
cantaloupes on a commercial basis
and his efforts met with such great
success that this year many car loads
will be shipped from Frankllnton.
The products of his club has produc
ed the reputation thr.t Franklin Coun
ty, North Carolina grows the best fla
vored cantaloupe that Is placed on the
northern markets. 80 well pleased
was he v;lth his venture that this year
he Is trying out on a small scale the
[commercial production of dew berries,'
and expects these to prove as satisfac
tory as the cantaloupe. Mr. Cooke
says that it is through Just such ef
forts that Franklin County will de
feat the boll weevil. And that while
he is primarily interested in banking
he realizes that his business as well
as that of all others in Franklin Coun
-ty Is entirely dependent upon the suc
cess of the farmer.
We congratulate the North Carolina
Bankers Association on its selection of
Mr. Cooke for this important. position
and v;e are sure he will measure up
to the greatest expectations. Frank,
linton and Franklin County .ire proud
of Mr. Cooke for the many activities
he has made in behalf of better farm
ing, and we rejoice at the Statewide
itcognition of his ability. Lets hope
th.it Franklin County will join heartily
with him in bringing about the better
farming conditions he is mapping out.

Rl'TH
Wouldn't you be surprised If you
were to go into a home where there
was a tiny baby girl, to know that she
was not wanted in the home? That Is
just what happened in Ruth's home,
for Ruth first opened her bright-black
eyes In the big land of China. Now
you know that in some parts of China,
wbefe they do not know about Jesus,
the people believe that the God's are
displeased when a baby girl comes into
the home and the baby is often thrown
away to starve or to die in some other
horrible way.
One day a Missionary found Ruth on
an ash heap, where she had been left
to starve, and took her to the hospital
in one of the mission stations in China
where she was kept until a Chinese
lady took her for a while. We have
been galling her Ruth all the time, but
she raally did not have that name un
til slit was about three years old,
! whenJMlsa Andrews, one of the mis
sionaries, adopted the little girl and
gave her the name of Ruth Andrews.
Laat winter Ruth's adopted mother
came home on her first furlough, and
of coarse she brought Ruth who is
now seven years old Together they
visited many places, one of which was
"House Beautiful". \ here Miss An
drews had gone to school. There Ruth
sang "Jesus Loves Me," in Chinese,
for the girls In school. No doubt as
she grows older she will give all of
her time to telling her native people
that Jesus loves them and that it is
wrong to throw their baby girls away.
I am sure that each of us can help
Ruth tell the story of Jesus' love to her
people. Some of us can go perhaps and
all of as can help by our Gifts and
Prayers.
