Sherlock Holmes might be justi- j

Ijf For example, there is Miss Jose,

the River office at Springfield, Mass.
Not long ago, an emergency call was
passed from the Springfield Detective
Bureau to the Holyoke Police Depart
iment. There was difficulty in reach
ing the Holyoke number and the
operator stayed in on the connection
to assist, if necessary. In this way
she foas notified of the number of the
stqjen automobile. On her way home
in ihe morning, she saw a car parked
on a side stfect bearing the reported
number. She at once telephoned po
lice headquarters and through her
alertness the stolen machine was re
covered.

COTTON CO-OPS READY TO
HOLD. 300,000 BALES
j Claiming warehouse and financial
! facilities that will allow it to mold
| 300,000 bales of cotton at a rate of
| 36 1-2 cents per bale per month, in
eluding insurance, the North Caro
i lina Cotton Co-operative Association,
j by authorization of its board of di
rectors Friday, is advertising for new
members in an effort to help the far
mers through the present emergency.
The association will continue to
j stress the point that it is primarily
; a marketing rather than a holding
organization but due to the present
low price of cotton it is featuring its
holding facilities.
According to its announcement the
association can finance 300,000 bales
on money borrowed from the Federal
Intermediate Credit Bank at 4 1-2
per cent interest. It also stresses the
point that it can save the farmers (
money, not only in interest rate but ’
also in other ways, to the extent that
the cost of holding each bale for a
month will be 35 cents. The insur
ance will add 1 1-2 cents to this
amount.
At one time this year the associa
tion officers were in doubt as to its
chs,nc3 of receiving the equal of thd
i 61,000 bales taken in last year.
Now, however, it is certain that the
total will be considerably over that
figure. It has been previously de
cided that the association would make
no membership drive for new members
on the present contract which has but
one more year to run. This policy
will be retained but members received
voluntarily or indued to join through
i-he association’s advertising will be
taken in. Many are turning to the
organization as a port in the present
storm.
The association is still selling cot
ton sparingly, to serve its old
customers. “Howveer, we do not have j
to sell the cotton nor do we have to I
hold it,” said L). I>. Biaiock, general
manager.
DRIVER HIGH, OF MASSEY
BROTHERS, PROVES HERO
Tuesday morning of last week when
It. L. Isaacs was returning from Zeb
ulon to Raleigh, Ms Ford Coupe
caught on fire and he had taken his
effects from the car to let it burn
tip when driver High, of Massey Bros.,
Zebulon, N. C., was passing, heard
of the trouble and rushed to the hood
of the car, opened and started throw
ing sand on the large fire, which
seemed to be gaining headway fast.
Mr. Isaacs and the hero were suc
cessful in stopping the flames, after
a time. The car would not run after
the cooking so the' driver proved that
he could not only stop the fire, but
that he ivas able to repair a car with
a pair of plyers and a pocket knife.
Mr. Isaacs wants to thank Massey
Bothers Company for employing such
a skilled driver—he saved the day in
this case. Many people do not know
how to stop a fire, and this is well
worth knowing—-pour sand on it.
ARM INI AN TO SPEAK
AT BAPTIST CHURCH
An Arminian student at Wake For
est will make an address at the Bap
tist church Sunday evening on con
ditions in his native country. Per
haps no other people have so suffer

On next Sunday morning pastor
Davis will preach at the Baptist
church on the subject: The Church
and Our Church.
HE WHO LAUGHS LAST
A very interesting incident comes to
light in connection with smallpox vac
cination in North Carolina. During a
vaccination campaign the parents of
a large family refused to allow the
children to be vaccinated. One of the
girls, however, slipped away and with
out consent was vaccinated. As her
vaccination “took” the others of the
family laughed at her sore rfrm and
did not fail to remind her of her
“reckless” act.
Within liie past year six members
of thai family contracted smallpox,
while the “reckless” girl was immune
and without «ne single bump.
“He who laughs last laughs best.”

Official Talks On
The Subject
Washington, October 6.—A proposal
that wou'd provide $250,000,000 to be
loaned to cotton growers and would
permit withholding from five to ten
“lillion hales of cotton from the
market, and thereby keep up the
and rigid conprice, has been given
serious consideration by high govern
ment officials. The plan involves a
comprehensive organization covering
all the cotton state sand would re
quire curtailment ur.d rigid control of
production in 1927 and thereafter.
A group of Texas bankers ap
proached the administration with a
request for co-operation in their
scheme to provide $50,000,000 where
with to hold cotton off the market.
A high government official suggested
that if the bankers provided half
that, or $25,000,000 credits totaling
$250,000,000 could legally be secured
through the intermediate credit banks.
It was emphasized, however, that
the administration could not encourage
any scheme requiring borrowers to
contract to curtail production. The
bankers he'd that part of the present
crop could not be withheld without
assurance that acreage would be cut
next year.
While farm loan banks loan only
for twelve months, intermediate
credit banks loan for three years,
but it is felt that such extensive crop
financing for this carry-over would
undermine the credit of the interme
! diate banks and that insuperable dis j
j ficulties confront sufficient organiza-
I tion to contr 1 production.
Nl RSE TELLS YOU IIO.W
TO VISIT SICK FRIENDS
“There should be a law forbidding
: persons to rush to the home or hos-
I pital to visit the sick,” growls the
exasperated surgeon whose patient
has been made worse by the visit of
an acquaintance.
Without recommending such ex
treme measures, Lyda M. Piatt does
i make a number of suggestions for
| visits to the sick. Under prop.-r con
ditions, such visits may be bene
i ficial.
A visitor should he cheerful and
! quiet; should choose appropriate
j topics of conversation, but should not
j ta'k too much; should limit the visit
I to the time allowed by nurse or phy
| sician, and should make the leave
taking as brief as possible.
The patient may ask the visitor
to read to him or to do some errand,
| but the visitor should refrain from
rearranging the bed or anything in
the sickroom unless requested to do
j so. The visitor should never sug
gest remedies or cures, and it is best
not to discuss the illness to all un
| less the patient persists in doing so
himself.—Hygeia.
PLEASED WITH ZEBULON
King Bros., owners of Gentry Bros.
Circus, were greatly pleased with the
patronage they enjoyed while here.
; They only show at the large towns,
arid were going from here to Kinston,

PROGRESSING RAPIDLY
The construction of Highway No.
91 is progressing rapidly. They will
soon be able t* cross the concrete
bridge at Moccasin Creek.
BI’SINES AND PROFESSIONAL
MEN’S CLUB
Prof. Johnson is enthusiastic over
the organization of a business and
j professional men’s club—come on
boys, fall in line and lets put this
i thing across. Every business and pro
fessional man in this community ought
jto support this movement. This
possibly be one medium through which

GENTRY BROS. EXHIBITED
HERE LAST MONDAY
On list Sunday morning the Gen
try Bros, circus began to unload at
Zebulon and before the day was over
several tents were up and the lot
between Sycamore and Horton Streets
'ooked like a tented city. Thousands
visited the grounds on Sunday.
Monday morning early every one
connected with the big show was busy
making ready for the big parade.
Between 11 and 12 o’clock the big pa
rade started. The streets were lined
with country people as well as town
folk.
It was a happy time for the small
boys and girls. The parade was very
good, and when the big elephants came
marching along the small boys gave
them all the streets.
The main show opened up for the
performance at 2 p. m. and a large
crowd was on hand to enter.
The night performance was at 8
o’clock and was attended by a good
crowd. The show was as a whole n
very clean one.
CLAYTON SUFFERS
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
Clayton, October B.—Loss of ap
proximately $85,000 was .caused here
early this morning when fire origi
nating in the L. H. Johnson Hard
ware Building, swept through three
other stores before it was checked by
the timely i rrival of the Raleigh Fire
Department.
All of the stores wrecked by the
fire were located in a building owned
by Sidney Horne. The building is
almost a complete wreck and the con
tents of all the stores were destroyed.
It was estimated that it would
cost about $25,000 to replace the
building. The stores whose con
tents were burned and the insurance
in each were as follows:
The Clayton Departin' nt Store
managed by W. I. Whitley, loss $20,-
000, partial insurance; L. 11. John
son Hardware Company, loss $16,-
000, partial insurance; Owen Gulley
Co., Inc., general merchandise, loss
$25,000 or $30,000, partial insurance
The fire w: s believed to have
• started in a pile of rags in the
j hardware company, possibly by the
spontaneous combustion. It was dis
covered about 3:45.
At the beginning of the present
year the United States had fifteen
telephones per 100 population while
Europe had less than two.
Seven years ago there were 66,000
telephones in the city of Montreal,
j Today, the city has over 141,000 tel
phones in service. ;

POULTRY EXHIBIT AT
EAST WAKE FAIR
This is just a reminder to those
wishing to exhibit poultry at our com
munity fair. In order that there may j
be no delay in opening the fair on
Thursday morning all entries should
be made Wednesday afternoon unless
special arrangement has been made
with the chairman for entering them
early Thursday morning. Coops must
he provided for each entry unless the
owner brings the coop. Therefore,
we must know in advance how many ,
entries to provide coops for.
Each committee should report to'
his chairman, promptly, all entries or
pr ospective entries for his department, j
This information will enable the chair
man to have ar.-ple space provided for
his exhibit. Let us see to it that every
one who has a good pen of birds ex
hibit them at our community fair.
This kind of co-operation will in
sure the best poultry exhibit the East
Wake Fair has ever experienced. We
already have the assurance of a large
number of birds for the fair. All the
important breeds and varieties will be
shown, and there will he keen compe
tition for some breeds and varieties.
Pick the best birds from your flock.
Do not exhibit old and young birds in
the same pen. Two females and one
male constitute a pen. In selecting
the birds see that they are uniform
in type and color. See that the feath
ers and shanks are dean and attrac
tive.
For premiums offered see suppli- <
mentary premium list in The Zebulon
Record and The Gold Leaf Farmer

PREDICTS FIVE SNOWS
FOR COMING WINTER |
Rocky Mount, Sept. 28.—Plenty of
fuel, piles of blankets and unusually
heavy overcoats are in order for the
prediction made today by George W.
Joyner, local weather prophet, mater
alizes, and it is significant that Mr.
Joyner, has been making his predic
tions for a number of years and that |
in nearly every instance they have
terminated accurately.
“We are go.ing to have unusually
c Id weather this winter,” Mr. Joyner
declared today after pointing out how j
he had studied “the signs which never !
failed” and that he knew what he was j
talking about. “And more than that, .
we are going to have five snows this i
winter. Remember I predicted three j
snows last winter, and I’m asking you
if that .prediction wasn’t right.”
Mr. Joyner, who is a traveling,
salesman, makes his winter forecast:
about this time every year, and is |
weather predictions are looked forward
to with interest annually.
KIJ KLUX ABROAD!
The knighted hooded band has been, |
we are told, quite active in and arotind
Zebulon lately. We are informed that
two or throe of our citizens have been ,
visited this week, and told that cer
tain deeds, suspicions, or other indica
tions of relapsed good citizenship must:
cease, or the good Knights would ap
ply certain and effective remedies best j
known to themselves.
We do not approve of any group
of citizens taking the law into their'
own hands, but it is a regrettable con
dition in any community that the
enforcement of laws has so lapsed
that individuals are called upon to ex
ecute judgment against evil doers.
A citizen of our town heard a prom
inent social worker —one in a position
to know —say that Zebulon had more
immoral law breakers and social de
linquents than any other town in Wake
county according to its size. It seems
high time our town authorities make
a thorough and effective effort to
drive out or destroy certain social
evils in our midst.
CHOK E FLOWERS ARE
WANTED AT THE FAIR
I would urge all who have choice
cut flowers, or a select potted plant
to exhibit them at the Fair. These
are the only two classes in the de
partment of flowers.
It is of interest to know all first
' prizes will 9e merchandise or cash.

NORTH CAROLINA
PRESBYTEKI\NS TO
MEET AT STATESVILLE.
Statesville, Oct. 9.—The North Car
lina Synod of the Presbyterian church
in the United States will convene in
annual session here next Tuesday with
of the retiring moderator,
Rev. H. B. Searight, of Elizabeth City,
after which the new moderator will
be selected.
The Synod of North Carolina i«
said to be the strongest of the sev
enteen synods of the church, hav
ing a membership of approximately
700,000. Virginia ranks next.
Interesting features of the con
vention will be reports of various
committees of the church. J. B.
Spillman, of Charlotte, will present
the report of the committee on stew
ardship.
Regular business of the Synod will
be transacted during the morning:
and afternoon sessions and in th<*
evening special speakers will be heard.
CONSERVATIVE ' J
The wisest remark we have heard
in many a day is this: A man is us
ually conservatice in the subject ab.ut
which he knows the most.
If you will think about this you will
see that it explains a mass of contra
dictions in people.
For instance, a doctor who is a pro
gressive, if not a radical, in his at
titude toward almost everything ex
: cept the medic; 1 profession. He thinks
governmental interference is always
■ wrong--except in the practice of med
: icine. He i.; bitterly opposed to th,*
| licensing of any other than the gnnl
‘ uates of approved medical schools..
A lawyer who favors every “ism' r
in the newspapers, except the proposal
! to take the legislative vote away scrim
> tht* supreme court. He would light
for the maintenance if this right,,
heartily and valiantly.
In 1910, seventy-six per cent of the
Bell System’s wire mileage was in
cable; today, over ninety per cent if
thus protected.
