FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1925 “The Flapper Gradmother” at the High School auditorium tonight (Friday). The show is one that is full of laughter. The Eastern Wake Fair is on in fu ■ a: Wendell now. The fair vv.ll last for two days—today and Satur day. Many people are in attendance. Next Friday and Saturday, the Westt rn Wake Fair will hold the bounds at Apex. This fair always dm. vs ’urge crowds. 1 !>n P.-binr.o big virus is on in R.-.-e j?!i t i-!.• • (r -i i ’.y); we c M .n almost, hear the band Maying and if the v. nd v: s in !h' right direction v . r I - tiie‘l sawdu ■ . It s • 'ms that the city of Rale gh is suffering from the effects of burg lar: ad it looks like a hard matter for the guardians of the law to get on the trail of the night maranders. It is said that the •’.ebu’on mer C’ori'.- !v <i the “l eg” day’s trade of '!:=? iall last SatunF/y. The crowds looked like Barnum & Bailey might have been here with the elephants and lions. Another big circus is on its way to Zebulon. Main Bros. Circus will be heie on October 19th. The young people "’lll be glad to hear this news, as well as some of the older set. When the parad starts, the clown:, will have their share of fun. If the Raleigh police can’t catch the burglars that have been parading through the residences of that city, we s vgest that the inhabitation be gin to set “steel traps” around the in: i. o' looms at windows where the burglars are apt to make an entrance. If you get a burglar b> the fao , then you can call the po Lee !e| artment. TV: t Hncco maC.ct i going good new. Prices are going higher each day. The better cl: ss of tobacco i now coming and the buyers are eeger for the better grades and arc paying a good price for it. We saw a pile of second primings that brought 12 cents per pound last Fri day. The Zebulon market will give the farmers the best prices of any market in Eastern Carolina. The “Equinox” is passed due. It j may be on the way with a broken “rudder.” One thing about this I change in the weather is true, and that is, whether the equinox conies or not, it is reported that wild geese are making for the southern clime, and it is a safe bet that cold weather will follow. ARE YOU CONGENIAL? Have you subjects to talk about that are worth while? Is it hard to start new topics, or does the con versation say itself? I>o you enjoy the same books, and like to road aloud in another’s hearing? Does he buy the doilv pr per v hen you pro or an excc's'on, a«d then grow si lt ’ t for a whi : e, or do you invade the .sol: tale of the nr cuXne i: ‘yt’ect by quij p nd commentary that make him wish to share the great world picture with you, ns he would were li:s college chair, beside him? Com-i p Mi ?• -lip j- the choicest thing on : earth, the rarest, the most valued. For it, we seek as eagerly, and alas,: often as fruitlessly, as Doigenes i sought for an honest man. It is not like the p; U7.y role of admiration nor th# royal purpose of passion, but no other fabric wears so well; it is “all of a piece” and “alike on both sides,” the soul’s most pleasant gar- 1 merit for all climates. Emerson calls companionship “Tho meeting of two in a thought,” and adds, “What is 1 so fare?"—Francis E. Willard. | ><> \VL REALLY WANT A LOCAL PAPER? Do you want a newspaper in your town? Do you believe that every 'town ought to have a newspaper? If your answer to the above question is yes then we want to i.uk what are you doing to h»lp to have a news paper, and to make it as good as possible for it to be? Every business man knows that i newspaper can not exist on the | price that he gets for subscriptions alone. They not only know that but they also know that the subscription pr ee will barely buy the paper that t takes to print it on. A newspaper in a small town or a large town, whether it be a daily or a weekly, is dependent purely and solely on advertising for its support. That being the case every business rns.n in any town or community i where there is a paper printed | should advertise. There is no use putting up the argument that it doesn’t pay, for it does if you do it j right. THE OLDEST TOPIC KNOWN Eskimo women laughed uproari ously at moving pictures in which American w. men were shown in fashionable evening dress of the hour. Members of the MacMillan Artie ex pedition who gave the show at Suk kertopen, Greenland, reported that | long trains excited tL>.• greatest de gree of mirth in the audience. Are I long trains in vogue now? We do not know . Some old films may have been I: ke n to the Artie. And per haps they were films that American women themselves would laugh at now. • h • into’- 'sting thing to wonder is whether women of 19 !5 will laugh as loudly at the fashion plates of to j day as women nowadays are accus j tomed to laugh at the fashions of j 1905. It isn’t probable that they ■ will. Taken on the whole, present 1 fashion sos women’s dress are more logical than any known in the past. They are simple and without need less ornamentation. A good word may be said for the vogue of women’s hats, patterned after the beautiful lines ofhe'mets worn by fighting men of the recent past. ENOUGH TO M AKE A COW TOUGH You may be sure, to begin with, Hint the cows of this world will sneer • and perhaps laugh uproaringly among themselves when they hear of .t.. Their rage will be quite nat ural and inevitable. They have been consistently honored ;nd rewarded ■ for doing what they like to do. But ; f Henry Ford says they are ineffi cient they probably are inefficient. Sooner or later, therefore, the pro cess of de-cowing the United States | must begin. “Somebody will invent away to make milk of a superior quality j much more cheaply than cow's make J it,” says Mr. Ford. This means that at the present moment, in a magnif icently equipped Ford laboratory j somewhere or other, a band of high | y trained chemical engineers is lay | eg the groundwork for the four or i six cylinder cow which, with top, .' indshield, self-starter, trunkrack. | nickeled radiator, bumper and bal- I loon tires, will be available in the future. What fascinates us is the thought of what may come about later along i after the old-fashioned cow has been i tossed aside, to the people who st 11 adhere to the habit of meat-eating. For if Mr. Ford’s bright young men can perfect r. mechanical cow —and they seem able to do almost anythng —they will not be permitted to rest on their oars. A day will come when the big boss will stroll along and say: “By the way, see what you can do with chick- j cns. And while you are about it | make the eggs square. A sinful amount of space is wasted in the packing and shipment of eggs of the present horribly inconvenient pattern. "AX-EXEMPT BONDS HEAP GOVERNMENT How tax-free bonds increase the burden of taxpayers is sot forth in i striking way by Julius H. Barnes, ’firmer Federal Grain Administrator. He put ; it thus: “A man worth over $50,000,(HO lied last year. Jt developed he had •a d no federal income taxes since 010, and legally so, Instead, he >ought tax-exempt bonds of his state ”0 city, yielding 41-2 per cent. But i r this he would have contributed ver $850,000 toward the expense of .is Federal Government. “Federal expenses were not one ollar less because he did not pay. “Who did pay the $850,000?” Because their salaries are throe ■onths in arrears, employes of the ity of Rio Janeiro have been threat- J •dng to strike. t THE ZEBULON RECORD, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1925 GENERAL Si MM \RY OF CONDITION The majority of the cotton crop s opened at present, especially in the southern Piedmont and southern Costal counties. There is practically no top crop due to heavy shedding on account of drought end in part i boll weevil damage. '1 he drought •ontinuad unbroken until about Sep tember 15th, after which time rains e'ured over most of the cotton belt with the exception of the southern Piedmont counties. Bolls are gener ally small and considered by farmers to average about 8.1 per cent of the usual s ze, many opening before fully matured. A very small weed is gen eral throughout the belt which shows the effects of the dry weather. On the other hand, cotton has sel dom been better fruited than it is this year. Even the smallest plants show from 2 to 6 bolls. The evidence of boll weevil damage on the opened bolls is less than was expected. Possibly the most telling factor at this date is the fact that so much of the crop is opened. Recent rains have caused it t<> open more rapidly and lots of it to shed from the boll >n the ground. VALUABLE BY PRODUCTS In the modern world, the farmer done has been the last to realize .he value of organization for its own sake. And, therefore, it happens that when the farmers in any community ngaiii/.e for any purpose they soon find that there are other benefits de lved in addition to the one that was .he r special aim. A finer community life, a widening of sympathies with their neighbors tnd associ tes, a broadening of their outlook upon the world, a new sense of the dignity and worth of their calling, an elevation of the ablest and worth est among them to places of leadership, are among the by-pro ducts of farmers’ organization.—Ex- Gov. Frank Lowden. SUE YOUR OLD ROADS Old macadam and gravel roads have an actual money value because they will serve as foundations for surfaces equal to that of Fifth Ave nue, New Y'ork. It is a criminal waste to taxpayers’ money to dis regard the salvage value of old ma cadam and gravel roads. In one mile of 18 ft. wide macadam road, (5 inches thick, there are 1,760 ' übie yards, or about 60 carloads of -tone which may be worth anywhere from 53,000 to 86,000, depending upon .he local price of stone. This great quantity of stone has been moved from the kuarry to the road, spread and compacted, repre senting a probable further invest ment of at least 85,000. Y'ears of traffic have compacted this stone for better than s possible by any mechanical process and in tearing' it out the work of years is undone. T.me and traffic have shown up the weak spots and these can be re paired by adding new stone without i curbing the old compacted por tions. By utilizing o’d road base of this kind for an asphaltic wearing sur face, Boston has modernized many files of street at low cost and the original investment was saved. OFFER TO AID IN RESEARCH WORK The research wark done by the animal husbandry department of State College in determining the val ue of cotton seed meal as a feed for livestock, has attracted such atten tion that representatives of the Cot tonseed Cruchers Association has written to R. S. Curtis stating that they would be here this week to con j for with Mr. Curtis with references j to helping along financially in the I investigations being made. Mr. Cur j states that Dr. T. W. Law, in | charge of the extension committee of be association and Christies Bennett, general m? nsger of the association . ill visit Raleigh this week. In addition to ths interest, Mr. Curtis states that one of the large cottonseed oil companies has cm- j : !o\ ed an extension man to do work j largely in North Carolina and Ala bama, working with farmers and helping* them to better understand their livestock feeding problems. Tb : company has appointed ,J. W. Milner, a graduate of Alabama Poly techn c“lnstitute, t c.i: :v on this oi k and Mr. Cu. is says that Mr. | Milner will work in close co-opera tion with the i nimal husbandry de- par: ment usin gthe facts found by its research workers as a basis for ; recommendations to be made in feed ing cattle. Ruins of an Indian village estima ted to be 2000 qears oid have been j found near The Dalles, Oregon. i SOCIAL PLAIN NEWS i ——, i Miss Lena Rhodes, of Wakefield, ■.pent.

T. Lunceford, justice of the peace, from his slumbers Sunday morning to make them man and wife. The ceremony was witnessed by R. E. Holt and Dr. Thel Hooks.

COTTON CO-OPS HAVE A BIG DAY “Saturday marked greatest day in the history of the North Carolina Cotton Growers’ Co-operative Associ-' ation so far as deliveries are con cerned—something over 5,000 bales being received,” was the state ment given out by General Manager/ Blalock. On the same day's last year, 110 bales were received. Receipts at the association warehouse, as compared with the ginnings re ports indicate that the North Caro lina Cotton Association wll handle a much larger colume of the State’s cotton crop this year than they have handled during any of the three pre ceding year:;. North Carolina handled a larger percentage of the production lest year than any of the other State associations, and is making a strenu ous effort to maintain this lead over all other State associations. “The bankers and supply mer chants throughout the entire cotton ’ belt are giving us their very warm support, and more mortgaged cotton is bein greleased by bankers and sup ply merchants to the association than has ever been released during any one season. A telegram from Mr. A. D. Ennit, filed representative at Laurenburg, advise that they secured the release of 1,000 bales of mort gaged cotton. “Out of 14,687 bales classed up to September 20, 6,151 bales graded good middling; 5,775 bales, strict middling. This record, of course, can not be maintained, as storm cotton is beginning to come in from some sections of the State.”
