Then in add it on to that 100,000 extra votes are allowed I on Club of $9.00 _ turned in. There, just two six-year subscriptions I means altogether 500.000 votes. If new subscriptions they would 1 count a total of 800,000 votes. I It can readily be seen by a glance at the totals that just a few such subscriptions for any candidate would furnish a new leader in th race; in fact Entirely New Candidates who at this time have no vo. at all could by a little enthusiastic action, climb to the top of tin* list and thereby acquire leadership for this fine touring car. 1 i When one takes into consideration the value of the awards, all of v r hich are to be distributed in r. few short weeks, it appears that they are certainly well worth the effort that it may take to secure them.

It is evident from the few entries from the town district that the pub lic does not understand the possibili ties of this campaign. With just a little effort a new contestant can easily jump to first place. Always in a campaign there are wierd stories concerning contestants as to their rel ative stnding. Just figure this out for yourself, you have as friends as the next one, so why not m .ke the start today. A determina tion to win the h , -gest prize you will make it earn f a 'mu to lead ’he ft ' Ci 11 at he rd offi .■ :o day am mk for information. The r. mes of candidates who have entered in the Record trig automo bile and prize campaign, and the nu ber of votes cast f w each up till Wed nesday evening, published today. It is quite puzzling to the manage ment why more do rot take advan tage of the Record's big giving cam paign. While the Record has been commended on all sides for its gene rosity but comparatively few people have entered. More active candidates are wanted and friends should urge their choice for candidates who are not entered to do so once. NOMINATION STILL OPEN There may be some who would like to enter who may be of the opinion that it is too late; that those already entered have too big a lead. Glance at the vote schedule. Just one or two .good subscriptions will give you enough votes to lead the procession. There is plenty of room and time for new leaders to be developed. There are many districts in which no one is working and no place but that there are numerous opportunities for new contestants to get the few sub scriptions necessary to put them in thd Je; d. Read the notice appearing in this paper “How to Jump Into First Wace.” VALUABLE REWARDS Think of the valxje in* hard cash re presented in the mammoth list of g i'ta to be given away absolutely free. One beautiful 1926 Chrysler tour ing ear. and several cash prizes, and hundreds of dollars in commissions is certainly substantia! pay for your odd moments of spare time during the next few we; us. . . Someone is going to be driving their own motor car. someone else ir. going to have added to then account at the bank and ethers are going to be richer by many dollars “COME OUT OF THE KITCHEN” The Dramatic Club of V ake'on High School is going co put on its first play, December 12, at 8 p. m. This play is entitled, “Gome Out ot The Kitchen” and it is a story of New Y'ork Society Life in which the child ren of a once wealthy old aristocrat play the part ot servants in o.dei The Zebulon record i ! each, while yet many others will re ! i ceive large commissions, and just for i using their spare time. Will you 1 make up your mind now to be one of the above someones ? Clip the coupon and mail or bring it to the Record office today. That starts-you with 5,000 votes and puts you in line for any one of the prizes you make up your mind to work for. WHO WILL LEAD NEXT WEEK While several of the more aggres sive candidates have started in the race with a good number of votes to their credit, the leaders of today do not necessarily mean that they will be leaders next week. Just a few | subscriptions and still fewer of the ! longer period variety can make a I new leader. DON’T GET DISCOURAGED I The contest is just now in its m | fancy and there is not a single c:in ; didate among those listed or new ' I ones for that matter who coH'i not, | If proper efforts were put forth, se cure enough votes to lead the field in jus'- . few dayl. When one considers that 100.000 extra votes are allowed on every $9 turned in it can readily be seen how easily you forge your way to the ; top. VOTE COUNT MORE NOW Now is the time to get all the re ; newals and subscriptions you can. They have larger vote value now than later on. A single year’s subscrip j tion now counts 10,000 votes, while during the last week of the campaign ' it counts 6nly 3,000, or less than one- S third. A six year’s subscription now j*counts 200,00(j votes besides the ex- I tra club vofes, and during the last week such a subscription would count but 90,000 votes. Get aH the subscriptions possible now. The present vote schedule is in effect t.ll December 5. Then it be gins to decline. TO NEW AND OLD ENTRIES If you will display some enthusi asm, see your friends, put forth some earnest efforts, you can count on your friends to help you. They are in j trested in your success in the same ! measure as you try yourself to win | a prize. They can be counted on to , | help you if you will help yourself. ' Work fast now. You must get votes | to win.

C., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1925 HELP MAKE * CROP SURVEYS Farmers Are Re quest to Help Keep Accurate Reports Since there is misunderstanding on the part of some farmers in this lo cality as to the usefulness of the in formation as to hog production and crop aereges, obta.ned from the cards distributed by the rural mail carriers Postmistress McGuire has requested the Zebulon Record to publish the following stal ment furnished her hv the United States Department of j Agriculture, “The e surveys are made with the help of the rural cariiers, who either distribute the cards to a _ certain number of farmers along their routes, with the request that these be filled out, or the carrier fills out the card himself by interviewing the far mer. The carrier is instructed to get information from farms which will give a good average picture or sam ple of farms on his route, preferbly by taking all of the farms along a part of his route, big and little, good and poor, owned and rented. “If a fair sample of all farms is returned in each State, figures for these farms should show the same changes as all farms. It is impos sible to take an actual census enum eration of all farms each year, so changes in production and acreage each year must be estimated from samples. The nearer these samples are to being exact, the more correct will be the estimates. “The need and value of such in formation for individual farmers and agriculture in general hardly need be stressed. Without dependable infor mation as to actual production and trends of production both of livestock and crops more balanced production and better market distribution are imnossiDle. “The Department of Agriculture is the best qualified agency to under take such work, but the accuracy of its estimates depends upon the accu racy of the returns made by farmers. “The beneficial effects that such information may have upon prices is shown by the level of hog prices dur ing the winter of 1924-25 compared to the previous winter. The pig sur veys of June and December 1924 showed a deeded decrease in hog pro duction in 1924 compared to 1923. Marketings, however, during the win ter from the 1924 crop were almost as large as the previous winter, and in December and January were the highest on record. In spite of these heavy marketings, hog prices were from" 52.00 to 53.00 per hundred higher than during the winter before. The heavy marketings were rightly interpreted as being an early market ing of smaller number of hogs caused by a short corn crop and not as indicating a correspondingly larger number of hogs. “But unless these estimates can be kept dependable the trade will dis regard them and will he guided either by private estimate'; or by actual h e tal ' place. Ther >re, ever; rmer 1 11 to make these reports accurate by making the report for bis own iarm complete end accurate.' 1 MAKE HAI L ON •KORN' LIQUOR Sunday morning Deputy Sheriff Richard-on remarked to E. I’. Denton, another deputy Sheriff, that it was about time to visit a certain section northeast of Zebulon. They talked the matter over, and decided to make | a visit in the same section thaj hadj been raided several times. The dep uty sheriffs admitted that they had not “smelled” any unusual odor —but had a presentment that something was going on, as the holidays were approaching, and some “Korn” liquor had been “smelled” by some citizens in and around Zebulon for the past few days. However, the deputies cranked up the Old John Henry, and told some of the boys that they would not be on hand at Sunday school, because they were going to take a ride in the country, and get some needed fresh air on this beautiful Sunday morning. The drive was a short one —only | about 4 1-2 miles. " Reaching a point on the branch that had a history ol the past, they leisurely strolled along leaving their auto near a public road. They had not gone far before they began to “smell” beer. A further search revealed the fact that hidden deep down in a .■-.xw-dust pile eight barrels of c ri ius 8* Ung ready to pour into the still to make a “ran. ’ No till was f< und. 'About throe yevs ago the officers captured 26 barrels of beer and a copper still; also two men were | caugh in the net at that time. Ihe beer found last Sunday, would j when made into liquor, make at least 5G gallons of korn ju.ee—enough to make 500 people crazy drunk for two or three days. At 810 per gal lon, it would bring to the law-break ers, something like SBOO.OO. The Dep uties and law guardians are to be commended for their good work ir locating and destroying the beer and other resources that form a part ol this vile stuff. It would be a fine day’s work to “land” the party, or ; parties who arc leaders in this k.i.u of business. NEW HIGHWAY GOING FORWARD Henderson - Clinton Coming Fast From Johnston County The Ilenderson-Cl’nton Highway is ; making progress and soon the route] will he one of the main lines that are passing through Zebulon and the j Johnston county line is now under construction, and will be the standard v. ; dth of the regular State highway, with a view to making tiiis line t regular State highway. The road crew in Johnston county I are now working in Wilder’s town- \ ship. When the link from Zebulon to Johnston county lines completed, it only leaves O’Neal’s township to | he constructed between Selma and .ihulon. It ir, very important that | every one should he at work with an eye single to have this road completed as soon as posible. It will be remembered that when f be time comes for Zebulon to raise her share of the subscriptions for the purpose of putting this import ant road project over, Zebulon “went over the top” with her share of the funds necessary to complete this important road. It is believed that no section where this road traverses will do anything to give it a set-back, but that every one is now and will be up and ready to do his or her part for the new road. THANKSGIVING SERVICE According to arrangements last year the Baptist and Methodist con gregation held a union Thanksgiving service at the Methodist church Thurs day evening at 7:30 o’clock. This service was well attended and a fine offering was made by the two con gregations to their respective orpha nages. The music under the direction of Mrs. Hall was especially food. Rev. Theo. B. Davis, paster of the j Baptist congregation, preached the sermon from Ps. 147:20- “He hath not dealt so with any nation- - - Praise ye the Lord.” There are times when all Chris tians can well afford and ought to come together in worship. Thanks giving and Christmas are two such occasions. We understand that all the churches of Zebulon. including Wakef'C 'l, ere planning for a com munity Christmas of songs and other Christmas exercises. We believe this is proper and hope all our people will enter heartily and joyously into this occasion. LINEN SHOWER On Friday evening December 20, from 8:30 to 11:30 Mrs. D. E. Dizor entertained at a lovely linen shower i in honor of Miss Isla Belle Dav.s, bride-elect of December. The house was attractively decorated in pit !■: and white cut flowers and beautifu: , potted plants. Soon : ‘ter the gue had assembled they were given a flower contest. This was soon fol- j lowed by a trial to see what perron j could aui’s. nv'-'t accurately the con tents of several small packages which held miniature kitchen utensils. The prizes for both —i set of lingerie j flowoi *: and a lovely pickle fork- which i were won by Mrs. A. S. Hinton, sis • [ ter of the honeree, and Mrs, W. < . I Dampen, were presented to Mias Davis. 1 Much fun was afforded by tne numerous thing? suggested that a; hride should carry in her traveling i bag, and by the advice which was ! given as to how to manage a hus band the first year. In the midst of all this fun Master Charles H nton, nephew of the bride-elect entered the room pulling a small wagon beauti fully decorated with white and laden with packages which he asked Miss > Davis to open. On them she found j various linen articles which were both, j beautiful and useful. Immediately; after the shower refreshments were j served consisting of chicken salad, cheese straws, saltines, sandwiches and coffee. On each plate was a j miniature suitcase of white decorated with valley lilies. The plate given to the guest of honor contained a mini l ature wedding bell attached to a heart-shaped stand. White mint, were served on a large hand made pink rose in accordance with the col or scheme of the evening. After each guest had written her favorite recipe and a useful house hold hint on cards which were in a Ir ; utifullv bound white envelope book for recipes, and presented to the guest of honor, they each de parted voting Mrs Dizor a charmu. j rv’sies-; and wishing M: vs Da via »uUi b \ happiness. Mils Davis is a graduate of Mere ! tilth College and formerly lived in 1 Raleigh. For the past several years, she has made her home in Z bulon tnd has taught in the Wakelon -c. ■■■ i h is with interest that her friend, are looking forward to her marriage in December to Mr. J.

OBSERVE GOLDEN RULE DAY| The Governor Calls on People to (Re serve December (5 j Governor McLean has issued n call j ; to North Carolinuns to observe De ! comber 6 as International tfolden j Rule Sunday, and to remember and | contribute t . the support of the or-1 | phans of the North East. Tin- C s'ur’s statement points’ I cut the > . : that approximately lifty, | nations will observe the first Sunday, |in Dc.en.’• 1 as. Golden Rule Sunday, i serving f- i *it day some such simp!,- menu a.- these children! of the he >•■ (v -i have every day, | I “when funds permit.” The statement follows: “In harmony with the dictates of generosity and charily that are ever ! present in the hearts of the people j of North Caroi.ua, 1 wish to bring to mind the obs.c ace of December 6, as Intel nation:.! Gulden Rule Sun ; day, which will he observed by fifty or more countries. The immediate beneficiaries of this observance will be the children of ihe Near East who were orphaned by the Great World War, and it is suggested that all who desire to practice the teachings of the Golden Rule, do on that day serve for their dinner approximately the same simple menu that is, when funds permit, the daily meal of the thous ands of childi'i n who must depend for their daily sustenance upon the generosity of those who are living m lands abundantly blessed by ma terial prosperity. By thus entering into fellowship with these children across the world, and partaking one of their orphanage meals, we may more fully realize their needs and be impelled to help make provision for them throughout the year. “America from her abundance has ever responded generously to all calls for help, in every part of the I world, and it is not poss.ble that our people will turn aside when so many thousands of helpless children, ha tragic legacy of a terrible war, turn their ppealing and confident gaze in our direction asking but u small share in the lavish plenty with wh eh Divine Providence has blessed I us. . J “These hildren of the Near East are international wards. In defense of sacred principles, their parents were killed or died of persecution, exposure or starvation. We in Amer ica, who were graciously spared the many disasters of that war will not fail them in the r need; and so, 1 1 ask th" people of North Carolina, holding in their hearts the precepts j of the Golden Rule, to remember these little ones and respond as lib orally as they can to their cry for help.” NORTH CAROLINA TRUST COMPANIES SHOW GAIN Resources totaling over $165,000,- 000 has been repo:, cd by North Caro lina trust eowpnni n Jur > 30.

A TRIP TO OUR STATE CAPITAL On Tuesday Nov. 17, Mrs. Crick more, p”i"cipal of New Hope school, took twelve of her scholars to Ral eigh. The others went along were: Misses Ollie and Hattie Floyd and Mue Chambiee, also the primary teacher. Miss Dickerson and Claude Chambiee, who drove the truck. All of us thoroughly enjoyed the day of sight-seeing. We were taken to several place of interest bv Col. Frederick Olds. First of all we went through our Capital. Some of us, for the first time, went in the Governor’s office. Here Col. Olds told us a few histo rical facts tha.t were very interesting. We visited the Museum next, then the Hall of History and after that the Insane Asylum . Col Olds re lated to us the story of how on one cold stormy night a man hired his two servants to beat the life out of his insane wife. He had kept her chained to a post and all around the post the floor was worn out where the poor insane woman had walked around and around. A woman by the name of Dorothy I T,. Dix afterwards founded the Asy : him for the insane, j There was more to the story and j ( 01. Olds told it in such away pz to make our hair stand < n the end. It is really interesting io “ee what beautiful work the inmates of this home can do. arid I am sure wo all are proud of the like sanitary heme that is provided for these peo ple. We went through the kit-hen which j was very clean and nice. Col. Olds | told us that it. took seven barrels of i turnip salet for ; :ic meal, and the “coffee pot” held only about a barrel or two of coffee. From there we went to Pullen Park and ate our dinner and gave what was leit to tl.; hears sh re. We then went to the penitentiary wh eh was perhaps ’h - most interest ing place of all. Some of us had the piyjf'lcgc of s : ‘ i; "r in the electric | chair. We w< at into the room whir • ■'• ivomi rk : Th< • : s v; some beautiful ”oibroidery and l other Inner v.a rk.

I ty next went to the Old . Flier's j Home. Some o !: ■ o aid af'e | men of the ago o- <■ tiity iv years : were playing mart* 'most s fris | ky as ten year old L They all | seemed real glad to see us and we I all went around anil shook hands with I every one. One man took us to I his room and showed us some of the things he had carved. His work was wonderful and among the many things he had carved was a head like his own. Another read us some verses of his own composition about almost every name you can mention. This too j was fine. Last of all we went to Woolworth’s five and ten cent store. We all cer tainly did enjoy the day. It was one that will never be forgotten by us and Col. Olds sure proved to be a 1 tine guide to shoo tij our own Oapi ; tal City.
