Appreciation For Olivia Libr a ry The so-called “good old days” have | passed away as far as our system! of reading is concerned. The days of | yesterday found the first grade child in the primer or first reader. When ever he “got through," he would “right , about face” and “go through” it again. Is there any wonder that the famous j “hickory cane” was frequently used, to quiet the bright boy who had read everything he could find? Could any * one expect more than poor attend- J ance, dislike lor school, hatred of i teacher, dropping out of school, etc., ; due to the monotony of ‘going over j and over” the same %'d b%ks? ' Governor Ay cock used to say, | “Thank God for South Carolina, for •; jf it were not for her, North Carolina 1 woutd be on the bottom in educa ' jtion.” Several of the schools of Waka county no doubt feel like say -1 ing, “Thank God for our Commis “ioners who appropriated money to ke possible the use of the Olivia icy Library, for if it were not for generous library our schools Id suffer greatly.” Boys and girls d be deprived of hundreds of t. interesting books which they i thoroughly enjoy. Reading. \ is very fundamental in our il, would be somewhat handicap- Teaehers would be unable to lenient their work as they would to do. the Knightdale School only, hun s of books are read which are red from the Olivia Raney Li-' •y. For tl ■ six'h month 1560, ulations in the elementary school ie were recorded. Knightdale 00l is only one which had the ad itage of this library. The first grades are good examples how the library is needed in Knight de school. In the two sections of ie first grades there are eleven stu ents who have read fifteen to thirty ooks each. Two or three have read ver twenty-five. One first grade girl ias read forty books this year. The j ocal library has been exhausted. (The | .eachers feel as though they would} he, if it were not for the Olivia ■ Raney Library. What can be done dur ing the remaining two months? The question is elementary—too easy to go to the Olivia Raney Library. Get new books, interesting ones which will please the dull boy as well as the bright one. Listen to the words of the students concerning Olivia Raney Li brary books: “You know, Miss Hold ord, that book was so good I couldn’t lardly stand it,” remarked a very ull fifth grader—who had taken very l ittle interest in reading, until he 1 ound a book he liked. Another stn-j ©nt—a bright first grader—who had ead twenty-five books at the end of ix month? remarked. "T have 11 the pretty books.” first graders, a? well as all other.

Mr. Ehringhaus will deliver the address to : the graduating class. Tragic Death Os W. A. Honeycutt This community was saddened on Tuesday morning by the discovery that Mr. W. A. Honeycutt, local grocer, had drowned himself in his store by sliding from a table into a large coffee barrel partly filled with water. He had for some time been' depressed and discouraged, but his j suicide was a shock to all. He leaves! a son, George William, a brother and j six sisters. Funeral services were held! at the Baptist Church on Wednesday j afternoon, conducted by Rev. R. H. Herring. Burial was in the Zebulon! cemetery. Many relatives and friends from out of town were here for the occasion. Peculiar Accident Mrs. Berry Horton of the Pleasant Hill neighborhood suffered a painful and peculiar accident one day laat I week. She went out to ring the farm bell, the handle of which broke aa she pulled the rope atttached to it, I and fell on Mrs. Horton’s head, cut ting it badly. She is not seriously hurt, but the doctor said that a dif ference of an inch in the location of the wound would probably have had I fatal results. HOUSE PARTY Miss Pauline Robertson gave a House party at the home of her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Robertsoa, near Wendell last week-end. Those attending were Misses Essie Campbell Cooper of Salemburg; Pauline Hob son, Greensboro; Louise Morgan, Dunn; Pauline Robertson, Campbell College; Kathleen nad Elaine Robert son, Wakelon High School, Zebulon; Bennie Horton, Zebulon; Ralph Moore, Trubie and Bill Upchurch, and Bill | Allen all of Neu.se; Rudolph Robert son, Wake Forest College. FEW ENTRIES YET Mr*, o'. L. Stell says that to date very few entries have been received lin the Yard and Garden Contest. If you?s has not been sent in, fill it out ; at once. Use the blank printed in the | paper, or merely write a card saying whether you will do the work your-, , self with the help of the family; or whether you will hire help to do some of the manual labor. Mail this to Mrs. J. L. Stell, Zebulon, to bo re corded. Locust Year This is the year for the 17 year locusts to appear. Do not confuse ; them with the 13 year locusts, which J also visit this country. The ones to come in countless thousands this sum mer will hatch from eggs laid in 1915. They will emerge fully grown, in May and June, when their singing will be enjoyed by some and endured by ! others. They do very little damage, i except to human nerves. BUDGET MADE PUBLIC Greensboro.—Mayor Paul Lindley ! has had enough copies made of the [ I city's budget to send one copy to j each block, with the request that it j be read by the receiver and then passed on to someone else. This j budget shows where every dollar of the taxpayer’s money goes—at least that part of it that Greensboro gets., j The plan is said to be well received. TRADE OPPORTUNITY A letter from the United States De- ( j partm-ent of Commerce to the District, offic* in Charlotte tays that there is, a recently organized forci&u concern, j wishing to handle agencies for Ameri- j can manufacturers of camping and j g.ixilen furniture.

G-. . rgia reports tornadoes and loss of 5 lives on April 26. No News Yet More than eight v.eehs ago the 1 Lindbergh baby was stolen, and there ' is as yet no definite hope given that he may be returned. All sorts of sur mises and conclusions are being printed by the daily papers, md it is hoped that the kidnapers will short ly restore the child to his parents. HOW T° GROW ROSES There is really no trick to growing roses, only little muscle along with some knowledge is required. The requisites are simple, they are, good soil and good plants properly plant ed. The beds for roses should not be over 42 inches wide thus making it possible for them to be worked with out stepping on them. It is not neces sary to have them over 20 or 24 inches in depth. A bed made deeper is only a waste of work. One third manure should be well mixed with two thirds soil. Clay soil is preferable although not necessary, hut if it is used should be combined with mute compost as it tends to loosen the soil particles. Cow com post should be used with sandy soil since it has a tendency to combine the soil particles closer, i The latter part of December and the \ first ten days of March are very good j ; seasons for planting. Both times i I have their advantages. The plants that j are set in December - , have time to getj | good root systems before they begin j h’oor. ng in the spring. But however, | they may put out shoots during a | warm spell in January and be kilVd lor either stunted very badly. Still j with this disadvantage Decembei I I planting usually proves preferable. J T he hushes should be set from 24 to 30 inches apart. This depends upon the way that you intend to i I prune them. If you intend to prune | them for long stems 24 inches is as far as is necessary. But if you wish ' a large bush even 36 inches apart is not too far. Although good plants and proper planting is necessary it takes some pruning and spraying. You should prune the bushes at the end of bloom ing time. The spraying should be done just as the buds begin to come in order to produce a healthy rose. , I have found from experience that | by following these very simple rules that I get very good results. MRS. SULLEY BAILEY I SCORE CARD FOR USE USE IN CONTEST In the Yard and Garden Content; the front yard counts 25 and back yard 60, while the alley is al j lowed 10 points and parking 5. The front yard is scored on attract iveness, which includes the general impression, appearance from street, [etc., and counts 15; and also on ira | provements made this year, which counts 10. The rear grounds are given 20 points for general impression, pri vacy, shade, comfort facilities, etc. I Attractiveness as to flowers, borders,, j nnd garden features can add 30 to ( the score, while this year’s improve | ments may count 10. The alley includes service area and i gsrage. Parking does not refer to automobiles, but to atti ictiveness of giounda, ca *e, good lawn, etc. rpiero ©ill b- at lca.it two visits I made by toe judges, one juat after tire entry lists close, and the other in late surnmei or fall when the con test closes.

L u do not have any Blue •.id,, .-pi.i) y ui plant with Bordeaux mixture. DO 11 NOW. Spray every 1 days. When the plants begin to j grow more rapidly ipray them every 2 or 3 days. 3. The spray should be directed | downward and toward the plants at ! such an angle that the mist will roll i upward from the soil and thus reach I the lower sides of the leave: . Approx imately one quart of spray will be re ouired for each square yard of bed. 4. Poisons may be mixed with the Bordeaux for control of flea-bugs. To poison flea-bugs mix together thor oughly 1 pound paris green and 5 rds arson it -of lead. Use 1 1-2 ; to 2 pounds of this mixture in 50 gai ns Bordeaux mixture. Caution: Do j not use flea-bug spray more than | once per week. 5. HOW TO MAKE 50 GALLONS | BORDEAUX MIXTURE. Dissolve 2 ! pounds copper sulphate (Bluestone) in 12 gallons water. Use only wooden, earthenware, glass, or copper contain ers for the bluestone solution. Mix 3 pounds of a good grade of hydrated lime (plasterer’s lime) with 3 gal lons water. Put 38 gallons water in a barrel. Pour the 2 gallons of blue stone solution in the 88 gallons of wa ter. Then pour the 3 gallons of lime water in the same barrel. Stir the solution, strain the lime solution through 2 or 8 thicknesses of plant bed cloth to remove lumps thorough ly. Add enough water (7 gallons) to make 60 gallons of solution. Use this solution immediately; if you let it stand it will lose strength. The Bordeaux mixture will spread over the leaves and stick better if a “spreader” is added before the mix ture is sprayed on the plants. You can use soft soap or sweet milk for a spreader. If you use soap dissolve 2 to 3 pounds in water and add to 56 j gallons of spray mixture just before J using. One-half pound of commercial j powdered skimmed milk may be used |to 50 gallons. One-half gallon of sweet skimmed milk may be added ! to 50 gallons of spray. Reove covers from beds on warm unshinny days to keep tops of plants dry. Put back on at night if there is any danger of frost. HOME DEMONSTRATION CLUB Ihe Wakefield Home Demonstra tion dub met on Wednesday after noon. Mrs. Hoyle, president, called 1 the meeting to order. “America” was ung and Mrs. M. F. Grote led in prayer. Mrs. B. B.

Rhodes, in charge of ■ Eaton were as new mem the program, directed a debate, which was quite spirited The judges decided that the club house should receive the prize, a lovely scarf made by Mrs. Rhodes. Hot coffee, doughnuts and salted peanuts were served, after which Mrs Grote was given a miscellaneous shower by members of the club in token of their appreciation of her work with them and for them. Mrs. Grote expressed her surprise and thanks for the courtesy shown her. SPRAY FOR TOBACCO PLANTS Oscar Barham, from the RolesviJle section, was in the Record office one day this week and was telling us of a satisfactory spray for insects on tobacco plants. He says it gets every sort of bug, fly, and other insect. Here it is: Dissolve about ten pounds of ni trate of soda in fifty gallons of wa ter. Let the mixture stand over night. f phen spray as any other plants. Be sure not to got the s« lntion stronger than formula given since it might burn the plants. While this recipe Is bad for the flies, it ia good for the plants f*» ridding them of insects and helping their growth.
