Dave was I ving a good time and hated the I 3ught of going home for dinner. He I id that if he broke his tricycle so at he couldn’t ride it, and hurt his r so badly that he couldn’t walk, d if neither his daddy, Mr. YVhit t nor Mr. Dav ; s could get home tq mer and his rr. ther would wreck; eir car and have the phone taker t so she couldn’t call up, and if •s. Whitley would wreck their Paci d, he could stay on with Charts ’. in the afternoon. But he said it >uld do him no good for one of thise ngs to ahppen unless all did.

July 18. Jean Jules Jusse rand, for 22 years French ambassa-j dor at Washington, died today of a I Aidney ailment. He was 77 years old. M. Jusserand was retired from his post at Washington in 1924. A member of the household said that among his last words were these: “My fervent hope and conviction is that France and the United States will eternally remain united and friendly.” The aged diplomat died painlessly, his wife’s hand clasped in his. His health had been delicate but death had not been expected. 4L hr Zr bit ion Slrrmii Library Hooks I Are Popular i I Mrs. J. H. Fowler, librarian, re- 1 ! ports that the Rainey Library books ( are proving juite popular with peo j pie in town and community. Os the books for adults all are borrowed but 6. There are more than that number of children's books on hand, but it ’ stems that all the larger Children prefer books written for adults. Books will be loaned as heretofore at the Woman’s club on Saturday from 4:00 to 5:00 p. m. » PRISONERS IN TENTS *; Recently when a form of menin gitis broke out in state prison camp known as camp 3. it was found the prison sleeping quarters were over crowded and that condition was favor able to the spread of the disease. Tents were secured from Washing ton, D. C. and Rocky Mount and erected within the stockade of the cen -1 tral prison. This helped to control j the disease, and we are sure the pris- J oners enjoyed the change on these '""days from close quarters to open s for sleeping. ngratulations Lawyer Finch here are 135 applicants for the •th Carolina State Bar Examina i, which will be given in Raleigh August 22. On the list is the name one Zebulon man—Foster David nch. LIVESTOCK PRICES RISE From Chicago comes the news that •ices for cattle and hogs have made arked advances. The fact that this <e began at an unusual time of the ar is explained by an acute short •e of meat in storage. It is said at increase in meat prices will mean tter prices for grain also, as the mand for pork and beef will stim ite the demand for feed. ______ __________________ TURKEY JOINS LEAGUE Turqey is now a member of the •ague of Nations, being the 56th to in and the last of the nations that •re on the German side to become member of the League. Turkey is d to have no secret alliances with y country, this being forbidden by • covenant of the nations. DEATHS DUE TO ALCOHOL he alleged rise in the drnth rate n alcohol since Prohibition has 1 attributed to various .muses, the t commonly accepted being that it ue to the greater toxity of the al lic liquors now so generally used ughout the country. “If this is case.” savs Doctor Bigelow, Com ioner of Public Health for Massa etts, “we would expect that our ratorv analyses of a number of isand samples of liquor annually ild show an increase in extraneous ic substance since 1920 No such lease has been found.” What is ~w killing the people who die of al coholism. he says, is what killed them back in the days of the high alcoholic death rates of 1916 and 1917 and be fore. namely, ordinary alcoh >l. “grain’ alcohol, or “good pure” alcohol. The increase in *he death rate Doc tor Bigelow accounts for by the fact that in a certain group of the popula tion the drinking habits have materi-i ally altered. With the illegality and the uncertainty of the supply, there has been a tendency to “drink it while j you’ve got it.” so that a given quan-j 1 tity may more f#?quentlv he consum ed in a shorter period of time, thus in creasing the practice of having boot- j legged liquor analyzed. There may be a certain tendency to feel that when nothing more toxic than ordinary alcohol is found, the product can be [consumed with impunity. Alcohol is., has been, and always will be a poison [which cannot be tolerated by the body !in excess, and the vast majority of cases of “alcoholic deaths” in Massa chusetts are, in Doctor Bigelow’s opin ion, apparently due to excessive use of “good pure alcohol.”—Good Health. NAVY RULING It is announced that under a re cent ruling of the navy only those be tween the ages of 17 and 25 can be received for a first enlistment. Here tofore the maximum limit was 35 years.

Beatrice Ferguson, or Beatrice Snipes, as she is known in some places, seized the efficer’s pistol and killed him with it. Snipes escaped into the woods with handcuffs on, but has been taken. The woman drove the dead officer’s car to Charlotte and surrendered. Another tragedy connected with the case is th« fact that a friend of Har iis started on a motorcycle to tell the wife of the of her husband, collided with a car and was himself j killed. BABE RUTH HURT Babe Ruth, famous baseball player, was injured on Monday, when, in at tempting to field a short fly, his leg gave way and he fell, tearing a liga ment in the right leg. It was stated by the Yankees’ trainer that Ruth will no be able to play again for three 1 weeks. MANY WILL BE EMPLOYED j E. B. Jeffress, chair man of the State Highway Commission, estimates that 5,000 of the State’s unemployed may be given work in the nrxt 11 months. North Carolina is expect ing to receive $2,800,203 for emergen cy highway construction, from the re lief hill recently passed at Washing ton. This amount will be doubled by regular Federal aid funds. The bill states that convict labor is not to be employed and that no individual, ex cept executives and supervisors, be permitted to work more than 30 hours a week. WATER- WATER!! We called the attention of the com munity sometime ago to the need of watering newly set trees during dry j spells. We have noticed lately a number of trees that we r e alive j sometime ago hut now appear dead.; Others will die if not watered, or if] rain does not come soon. We have a Japan persimmon, a j winesap apple and Blakemere straw berries all planted last spring. The; leaves were drooping and showed, ; signs of withering a week ago. Aj generous watering of them has put! new life into them. Late afternoons; jure the best time for watering plants. lr, a dry time such as we are having just now great loss to shrubs and small trees may be prevented by wa tering the plants well two or three j times. It is cheaper and easier to save what one has than to buy and plant again next year. We would suggest to our readers that you examine your flowers and shrubs and see if they are not need ing a big drink. Water is just as | nccessflry to plant life as it is to man and beasts. Thousands will not make a week end visit even by invitation for fear they will become a “problem.” One way to put money into cireu- Irticn i« to take it to the racetrack i . » VITAL STATISTICS During the month of June 2,705 persons died in North Carolina, while 7,283 babies were born. Os the mo thers of these infants 43 died in child birth or as its result, this being a proportion of one death for every 17 births. Tuberculosis and pneumonia caused more deaths than any other diseases; cancer, diarrhea, pellagra, whooping-cough and appendicitis fol lowing in the order named. There were 36 murders or accidental killings end 27 suicides. Automobile acci dents cost 42 lives, and 31 persons were drowned. MILL STRIKE As a result of a reduction in wages in the boarding rooms of hoisery mills at High Point 8.000 mill workers are on strike. Beginning on Monday in High Point the strike spread to neighbor ing mills and towns. Kemersvilfc. j Jamestown, Lexington and Thomas-j ville are also affected by the strike. It was estimated that 100 plants were closed on Tuesday. So far no serious (disorder has resulted, and the govern | or does not plan to send troops to the I mill towns unless definite need should. arise. It is said that the knitters claim the strike was not started by them, but by others who were unem ployed. or who had done little real work. RIOTING IN GERMANY Political riots in Germany have cost 20 lives and the wounding of more than 300 persons. The govern ment is endeavoring to suppress all public demonstrations as a means of prevention of further disorder. Com munists are struggling against Fas cists. and the end is not in sight. UNREST IN SOUTH AMERICA Five South American Republics are in the throes of political rebellion or unrest. War is being threatened as Brazil tries to subdue the state of | 'Sao Paulo, peace efforts having not I succeeded. Bolivia demonstrators de man d war with Paraguay. The Presi-i i dent of Peru announces that upris ! ir.gs of Oppositionists anil f ommu j nists have been put down.

Horton, a former Zebulon boy, at the 10th annual convention of the North Carolina field club of the Mu-1 tual Life Insurance Co., on April 29th., Charlotte, N. C.) j Probably never before ha< the life! insurance agent been able to look I upon his profession with more pride than he does today, for the institu tion which he represents is about the only one that has been able to weath er the business convulsion of the past two years, and it lias done so with much credit and now finds itself stand ing alone without a peer as a medium of conservative and sound investment as well as a vehicle of family protec tion. The past two years has proven ivithou, a doubt that a life insurance contract provides every attribute of a good investment. According to in vestment authorities a good invest ment must measure up to the follow-1 ing standard: 1. Is it safe? 2. Will it increase in value? 3. Will it yield a fair income? 4. Can it be financed easily? 5. Does Tt have a ready market? 6. Is it good collateral? 7. Does it have a desirable maturi ty date? 8. Is it free from care and worry? 9. Can it be transferred at death without expense or delay? The factors that constitute safety are: 1. Selecting high-grade securities. 2. Wide diversification in selection. 3. Continuous and vigilant exami nation of securities. 4. Trustworthy and competent management. Life insurance companies employ a staff of men whose sole duties are j the investment of their funds. These men are selected on the basis of their proven ability as outstanding gen iuses in the field of finance and in vestment. Due to their expert ability they are able to select the highest quality of securities, and on account of the enormous funds they have to work with a wide diversification is sure to be obtained. Every minute change that affects values is watch ed wi*h the closest care. The well nigh perfect record of life insurance companies for the past thir ty years is proof enough that the directing heads are both trustworthy and competent. It seems to me that in view of these facts, there should be no question as to the safety of a life insurance investment. Bruce Barton says “The insurance ! companies of the nation are safe. Their record during the depression has been magnificent. Last year, for example, when a total of ninety mil-1 lion dollars was raised by the country j for unemployment relief, the insur-j ance companies paid out in death en- j dowment and disability claims, and I in dividends and surrender values $2,600,000,000. or nearly thirty times as much as the national relief fund." Will an insurance investment in crease in value? Well, of course, it is hard to find any form <>f investmeat that is certain and sure along this line, but certain life insurance con -1 tracts are very conspicious exceptions. Whe’P stocks, bonds, rial estate and mortgages fluctuate over a wide 1 ran ire insurance does not, but on the other hand, is gradually increasing ! in value. As to the yield of income, the in- i I surance contract is'the only one that T know of that a person can bank on a 3 1-2 percent yipld over a great i period of years. Our enmnany, as you know, has paid an interest rate j of 1.8 per cent compounded annually for the past several years and indica tions are that it wifi continue to do si indefinitely. The insurance investment is probab ly the easiest investment to finance, j |lt can be made to fit any man s fi nancial stride. As it can be bought on either installment or single pre- 1 mium. An insurance contract is an invest-, ment that always has a ready market. It can be surrendered for its cash i (value or loan secured at any time j after it has been in force for a period of three years. The cash value of a life insurance investment is the best form of collateral. As any banker prefers it to any other known securi ty, And the maturity date of this form of investment is most excellent as it can be fixed by the purchaser | end always matures at his death, if I prior to the tix-•-i maturity date, i is it free from care and worry? Y"u ;ave seen nr:r.y financial advertise ments like t. “N< bond is <afe i that you car afford •• put It away ni forget iff" Every othei nvest | m. nt reeds constant watching but ( hft* insurance investments stand aione n this respect as they need no car# | and attention. 1 I inie has proven the insurance eon | tract to i>e about the only form of investment that is transferrable at death without delay or expense, re gardless of whether it is paid out right or held in trust by the company, or turned over to a Trustee as a life insurance trust. No probate expense is necessary. The average estate shrinks about twenty percent—some much more—but life insurance, again, stands alone in this respect, one hun dred cents o nthe dollar. The Mutual Life offers muny con tracts that are splendid for invest ment purposes. For example, it is possible for a man age 35, to buy outright a SIO,OOO block of life in | surance for a single payment of SB, 1 100.00. If he dies the next day his heirs will receive $10,000.00. If he lives to age 45 he can surrender his contract, plus dividend accumulation, if left as deposits, for about $12,000.- 00. Thus giving him near $4,000.00 profit on his investment for a period of ten years, or an interest rate of approximately 4 1-2 percent. Now, lif this man is willing to buy a con tract *»vering a longer period of time, he cajr buy the same block of insur ance tor Pi ,350.00, and if he lives to age 55 and all dividends are left as deposits, his investment would then be worth approximately $14,500.00. giving him a profit of $8,150,00 over a period of twenty years, or a com pound interest rate of well above five percent and free insurance protec tion in case of 4**th ranging as high as $3,650.00. This map do even better by buying a contract maturing when he is 65. In this ease the first cost would be $5,250.00, the surren der value approximately $17,700.00, a net gain of $12,450.00. The company’s optional modes of settlement would, of course, he at this man’s disposal and it would seem wise to me, should this man select the latter contract maturing at age 65, to leave his money wih the company, am# at the present interest rate of 4.8 percent would give him a life-long monthly income of approximately $70.00, leaving the principal intact to be passed on to his wife or children. Now, in conclusion, I wish to di rect your attention to a few amaz ing facts that were published in the magazine. entitl ed “The High Cost of Speculation:" “The losses when the stock market broke in 1919 would have paid insur ance denosits frr five years on enough j life insurance to provide every wid ' 'in the United States (numbering '!.- j 917,000 according to the latest cen i sus) with an income of $265.00 a I month for life and then a principal of 1 $63,800 to the children of each wi dow, assuming that she had children. Depreciated stock market values have trtaled billions of dollars in the las* fourteen months. Men have realized as never before that safety of prin cipal. which is absolutely guaranteed in life insurance, is the most impoi t.mt requirement of any investment. Had the money lost on the stock mar ket been placed in life insurance, thousands of men would be receiving today a guaranteed rate of compound I interest on savings which months ago I vanished into th'n air almost over night." With the public turning to life in ' surance as never before it seems fair 1 to a-sume that life insurance wifi hc ; (come the most important investment medium in the next decade and life insurance salesmen will be the leading gathers of the nation’s in vestent funds. Clothes Burn- Knife, Buckle Left —o — This unusual news item is sent in jbv our Hopkins Chapel correspond I ent: Wiley King went for a swim in Gay’s Pond Monday and after taking off his clothes, he lit a cigarette and dropped the match down. It fired his clothes, so when he came from his swim his belt buckle and a scorched handled knife were all he had left. Number 5
