Every body come, and bring all the mothers yea aan. Many a man’s wifa dresaaa atylishly baoaaisa his araditoTs can afford it. After working tha political bom far a job a mm o*b afford to tak* rirmucm ®tecori* THIS, THAT AND IDE OTHER (By The Editor’s Wife.) ! Another Commencement has come and gone. Another class ha- finished ;at Wakelon and wept or laughed— lor both—that school days there are I over. I shall not moralize. ! feel about jit much as did a friend who said to j me Tuesday, smiling with tears in her eyes. “I love it all, and ] enjoy it; hut I always have to cry a little. It means that they are so soon to leave home.” All of us older folks should take comfort in this: A recently published j article by a prominent educator states that adults learn more rapidly than children do; that this has been proven by experiments; and that adults re j tain knowledge as well as children do—if they use it. Therefore, we have no right to stop learning and claim we are too old. i One of the correspondents last week [ asked about salve made from mari golds. I don’t know how it is made and I hope the lady who advised us to grow marigolds will give directions for the salve. But I do remember clearly many of the ointments and lotions that were made when I was a child. Our near est neighbor had neither the figure nor the time for roaming the fields and woods to gather herbs; so my sisters and I would do the gathering and she would make the remedies and divide with our mother. The first of the season waa made of “heart teavea,” balm of Gflead bods, re.sin, mutton tallow and 1 don’t know what else. I shall never forget search jmg under the forest trees for the pungent-smelling heart leaves—nor the suffocating wait for my heart to start beating again when a long fclaeksnake would glide over the ground just ahead of ma. j Next w« made a salve for burns. W« gathered roots of highland fern, which wei-e scrubbed and boiled in wa ter until tender, when lard was ad ded and boiled until the water had evaporated. No bought preparation was ever more soothing and healing. Sometime I’m going to make some more of it. When the weed called “St. John’s wort” was in bloom it was our duty to gather enough of it to be made, with hog’s foot oil, into nr ointment that was red in color and said to be fine for rheumatism, ‘cricks,” and | other such ailments. But the aristocrat and queen of all I the salves was made of madonna li- I lies and fresh, unsalted butter. That I was made at our home. Mother would set out a great bowl of the but. ter to melt in the sun —it had to be made on a clear, hot day. Cousin Addie would come down the hill with a market basket filled with the blos soms, and covered with a white cloth. When the sun had melted the butter a few of the lilies were put into the howl. Slowly they too melted, leaving j only a thin, transparent tissue from 1 the petals and a slight residue from the stamens. All day the work went on, more blossoms being added as fast as the ones put in had melted. I would stand on tiptoe to peer into the bowl and sniff the fragrance of lilies blend ad with the odor of fresh butter. When finished the salve was a wonderful yellow color, delightful to smell, and was carefully strained and put away. I’m not quite sure what it was used for. My own sores were always of the kind that called for the sticky, bad i smelling plasters. Peculiar Case Jasper Saunders and Haywood Mor gan of Johnston county were accused of stealing a hog. killing it and selling the meat on last Dec. 8. They were covicted and sent to the roads, where they had served 62 days, when it was found that the hog in question had f:,!1on into a deen gulley and had evi dently died of exnosure and starva tion. After finding the remains, the owner. Vernon Langdon, sought to free the young men and had them re leased. They have sued the State Highway Commission for $165.00, the amount of their wagaa, figured at $1.25 a day for the time they served The counselor for the Highway Com mission hold* that rho Commission has no authority to oak* the adjust meat., and that the young men should peMtloa to the General Assembly. Zebulon, Wake County, X. C., Friday, May fi, } 332 Wakelon School Closing Events The commencement exercises of Wakelon began on Sunday morning with the baccalaureate sermon which 1 was preached by Dr. H. S. Hiliey, I president of Atlantic Christian Col lege. Dr. Hilley’s message to the graduating class was most appropri ate and practical, his subject being the necessity of making a choice in life. On Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock the graduating exercises of the sev enth grade were held. As usual, this feature drew a large crowd of parents and friend s of the gradu ates. Mrs. F. E. Bunn and Miss Annie Rose Southerland, seventh grade teachers, were in charge of the program. At 3 p. m. there was a May Day fete on the campus. The queen of May, attended by ladies in waiting, flower girls and trainbearer9 was crowned and seated on her throne. Wooed by all the season* in turn, as represented by members of the eleventh grade, the queen was finally won by Summer. The dances were many and varied from that of the eourt .jesters to the twining of the May pole. This feature was direct ed by Mrs. J. C. Wilson of the faculty. On Monday night the 11th. grade had their class day program. Louise Kimball welcomed the audience, who enjoyed seeing and hearing features that were somewhat different from those usual on such occasions. Father Time gave advice to those entering the world outside and the nobler im pulses were to drive away baser ones. The words of farewell were spoken by Mercell Bunn. The auditorium was crowded to the limit for this oc casion. On Tuesday morning at 10:30, the; address was delivered by A. J. Max well who was heard by a crowd that filled chairs and aisles. Despite j slight confusion incidental upon the j arrival of late comers, the speaker made himself bail'd by all as he; poke with convincing earnestness and argument. He spoke on some of the benefits of the depression. He outlined his discussion under three general heads; 1, the depres-j sion is going to lead us to clearer, j sounder and more aeurate thinking; j 2, it will help us to learn over again that principles do not change with every new model Ford. We must, said he, learn to adjust ourselves to them; 3, it will bring us a loftier leadership in both private and public - life. Mr. Maxwell in his closing re marks addressed himself directly to the graduating class. He told them that this time of depression may discourage and defeat older ones, j but that it should be a stimulus to youth. It should not deprees them.j Though at the bottom, with strength and the future, they may ride to j the crest of the tide. Supt. E. H. Moser presented diplo mas to 45 graduates, the largest number in the history of the school There were 13 young men and 32 young women in the class. Dinner was served on a long table j 'in the beautiful grove on the cam pus. This day is both a gala and picnic day in this section. Almost all the people in the district turn out and many from Johnston. Nash rind Franklin counties may be seen among those of the community. And ! old Wakelon students and candidates seem to vie in showing how glad they are to see you. The great number gathered around the table was only a years come to Wakelon for a full . repetition of the many who have for meal of as fine “eats" as may be found within a hundred miles. In the afternoon a ball game be tween Wakelon and Wendell enter tained tha crowd.

Tonight at 8 o’clockxz xz xzxz I Tuesday night at 8 o'clock the final exercises were given in an operetta by the senior class, entitled “Cherry | Blossom.” The operatta may not have been ; uthentie Japanese, but it was as nearly that as anything else; and it ' mattered not as to country; the appeal was universal. The large audience 1 showed its appreciation in the laugh i ter anu applause that were given the j east throughout the performance. J. C. Michell, Addie Ellis Winstead, Raul Yeargin and Russell Temples; were well supported by choruses of geisha girls, American tourists and business men. The stage was beau-1 tifully decorated. Much credit is due; Miss Buff aloe and all others who as sisted in training the seniors for their final appearance. WAKELON GRADUATES, Paul Yeargin, Paul Liles, Marie Watson, It. P.

Some want it and some do not. Trains, airplanes, and mails ! -will use Eastern standard time as us ual. It will probably mean confusion and worry to outsiders who must keep both hours in mind when plan ning trips to the capital. DOUKHOBORS PARADE Up in British Columbia a religi ! ous sect known as Doukhobors stag* ed a parade a few days ago. That was all right, except for the costumes, ! which were nothing. This cult believes ;in parading nude. Since going naked i.s an offense punishable in British Co lumbia by three years impi isonment, i the paraders dared much for their ! convictions. They were routed by the \ police, who sprayed them with itch powder in order to subdue them. Their trials have not yet been held. Railroad Buses The Corporation Commission has j granted the railroads the right to en ! ter the truck field. The Seaboard will I put on a line of trucks between Ham let and Monroe. The Norfolk South-; jern is already operating passenger I bus service between Raleigh and 1 Norfolk. It is probable that others j will soon put in operation on other lines in competition with the net-work iof bus lines already covering the state. This seems the only way the railroads can save themselves in this motor age. A Village No More Smithfield, says the Smithfield Her ald has pa-sed from the village class and has become city-minded. Cited as evidence of this is the fact of recent 1 discussions as to the type of buildmgs ! that should be erected in residential sections. Protests are heard against allowing commercial building? in reai i deuce b’oeks. Recorder s C ourt hn 'ire,.: u; w.> was charged drunk . • . bis, rderiy conduct, '. profanity on the treets of Zebu '•*n on two different occasions, >as >ad guilty of both charge- and s- enced to the r,,ads :>r sixty days foi each offense. Frank and li ri.ert Hood wore found by the officer, la. t week engaged in running a fifty gallon still about three hundred yard-, back of their brother Henry’s. A third party was assisting them, but e- aped before the officers could capture him. They were sent to the roads foi six months but appealed their case to the higher court. Negroes and whites alike like chick en. Harvey and Johnny Harn and Isharn Richardson, not having any, raided their neighbor Montague’s chicken roost. Judge Rhodes sent Harvey and Johnny to the roads for ixt.v i ; .J ’am :.!nety clays. W. M. Johnson’s case was nol pros with leave for giving a worthless check. J. M. Cockerham was char ed with disorderly conduct, being g" Ity of drunkenoss and profanity. He for feited his bond rather than face Judge Rhodes. The police say he is the king bootlegger, the A1 Capone, of Zebulon. Engagement Announced The following from the News and Observer will be of special interest to Record readers. Miss Chamblee ia the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Chamblee, and Dr. Herring is the second son of Rev. R. H. Herring, pastor of the Zebulon Baptist Church.

Guests called between the huui» of 4 and 6 oclock and were greeted at the door bv Miss Ruby Stell. The cards were received by little Miss Kay Kemp and miniature corsages with cards bearing the nanouncement “Ed , and Hazel, June 4.” were presented j to each guest by Miss Cornelia Her- j ring.

Miss Doris Chamblee ushered the guests from the drawing room into the dining room where Mrs. R. H. Herring and Mrs. Clarence Cham blee presided over the silver tea services at opposite ends of the table. Russian tea. dainty sand-, wiches, mints and salted nuts were served by Miss M.-lha Chamblee and Miss Jane Toms of Salisbury. The three rooms in which guests were received were beautifully deco rated with spring flowers. The goodbyes were said by Misses Coressa Eberhart and Margaret Bar row. About 125 guests called dur ing the afternoon. JUDGE BOWIE TO SPEAK Judge Tam C.

Blue Mold Tobacco Shortage News reports say that blue mold, Ct a bugs and the early April cold snap will reduce the supply of healthy plants in the tobacco plant beds of eastern North Carolina to the place where it will hardly be possible for the growers to plant over 65 percent of the acreage planted in lU3I. Tn. due mold disease is continuing to spread throughout the State and i.s working westward to the plant beds of the piedmont, yet, the great est damage done thus far has been due to cold weather and flea bugs. However, earlier beds which have been sprayed properly show an excellent supply of quality plants. There has been much complaint of damage done by spraying the plants with the Bor deaux Mixture recommended by the college specialists. Examinations of affected beds show that the spraying was not dona properly. Some growers did not mix tha ma terial as recommended nor was the solution properly applied. The spray cannot be made by dumping the blue stone and lime into a tub and mash ing it up and then applying water. Nor can proper spraying be done with a pine top. Tha solution must be of even strength and the plants mast be thoroughly covered and kepi cov ered as new growth appears. Go To Church There will be preaching at the Zebulon Baptist church next Sunday a. m. at 11:00. Last Sunday's service was not held on account of the ser mon at the School Building.
