AND THE OTHER
41 rs. Theo. B. Davis
Several persons who came in to in
quire why their copy of the Record
was not forthcoming last Friday
morning were apologetic about asking.
We, however, were far from being
offended. We felt “mightily holp up" j
as a friend of mine used to say, at'
being missed so quickly.
Last week was one terrible time to
be getting out extra pages and extra:
copies of a paper. Such weather! I’d
work down at the office and feel sure i
of having prostration from heat. Then j
I'd go home and work in the kitchen
and be firmly convinced that no other
place could be hotter. On Tuesday. 1
took two of my own handkerchiefs to
mop my face; on Wednesday I took
two of my husband’s; on Thursday I
took a towel; on Friday Dr. Barbee
suggested that I take a sheet. Why,
it was so hot at our house that the
faucet marked “Hot” gave us cooler
water than the one marked “Cold.”
Or water nearer cool, I should pay.
That is actually true, but can be ex
plained by the fact that bur hot water
tanjt *isr : in. the basement.' 'We-e-wera
not heating, any water down there
and the tank held it in store in a tem
perature much more endurable than
that of the outside pipes.
’*v a .
In another column will be found dir
ructions for making floor stain and
polish. The Walnut hull one I know,
from experience to be good. We used
it at my home when I was a girl. But j
you’ll have to be careful not to get i
tlre'tolor too dark.
The best furniture wax 1 ever used ,
is made from turpentine and beeswax i
—nothing else. Set the can of tur
pentine. Stir it well and let it cool. Use
melt the wax also, using a piece about
the size “of ah egg to a..cQpful of tur-.
pentine. Stir it wel and et it cool. Use j
a very little on a cloth tor polishing.
This recipe was printed some years
ago in The Saturday Evening Post,
in an editorial by a collector and re
storer of antique furniture. It can
be made at a fraction of the cost of
the mnufactured article.
o
Every now and then some one asks
my opinion of smoking by women. I
don’t kow why. It may be that they
feel a minister’s wife should lift holy
hands in horror at all such doings;
it may be they want to get the reac
tion of a respectable middle-aged wo
man to the conduct of young folks
nowadays; it may be they figure that
I’m going to talk anyway and might
as well have a subject provided.
In the first place, I have never
known a woman of my family to
smoke. Nor do we use snuff. But, if
I had to make a choice, I really be
lieve I should prefer smoking to snuff
dipping. A cigarette is more easily
discarded than is a mouthful of wet
snuff. 1 d<» not know enough of path
,l, j_ v to speak with certainty about
the effect of smoking upon a wo
man’s health, so can only speak of
my personal feelings in the matter.
To me there is no special moral or
immoral significance in smoking, no
matter who does it, and I should
never consider that the use of cigar
ettes by a wmman means that she is
not a lady. Considered from a legal
standpoint a woman has as much
right to smoke as a man does. Women
have smoked since long before I was
born and long after I am dead they
will probably continue to do as they
please qbutit it, either openly or on
the sly,
Now, having said the above, let me
also say that I do not like the idea
women’s smoking. There is a higher
right than personal privilege—the
right to be the very daintest, purest,
most self-controlled person possible.
The use of tobacco does not help this.
There is the right to make men be
lieve we are a little above them in re
fraining from self-indulgence; this is
far nicer than being treated as an
equal. -
However, as Tong aa there are so
many real evils to fight, I'm not go
ing to tear up the earth about smok
ing.

Zebulon and Tobacco
At The Top
YOU CAN’T ARGUE AGAINST FACTS
ESPECIALLY TOBACCO FACTS.
*
Nothing is more convincing than facts.
There are two facts the farmers of this
section cannot get around in relation to
the opening of the Zebulon Tobacco mar
ket Tuesday. ; {
> While Zebulon is one of the smaller
markets, yet it led all Eastern Carolina in
tftfe geneijad average and the highest sale
price', With 1 Sft' accessability—for indeed
“Alltobacco market'roads lead to Zehr
lonian efficient warehouse force, buyers
for all the old tine companies add fftany
independent buyers, flhtere Is no reason
■ whatever? why Zebulon should not show
equal facilities -to the fanners with the
largest tobacco markets of Eastern Car
olina, The fact that it is a small market,
means that the farmers wflf get better
service * iv 1 * <i v rn.*. 4 &<:, 1
When our farmers consider the longer
haul, the wait of days at titaes before sell
ing and the additional expense incurred,
there is every reason for selling at home.
The Record believes in Zebulon. We
believe our farmers will get equal service
and larger net profits by bringing their
tobacco to this market. Give the fine men
operating the local warehouses a chance
which we believe wil be to your advan
tage.
Remember, without much publicity, no
toot of horn, no ballvhoo. the tobacco

This is a homemade opinion and was
not sent out by any publicity bureau.)
Probably a great many people in
this section vho do not know of the
work done in the textile school at our
1 State Colege. Recently there was
| shown on a big poster in the window
I of the Record office a display of some
jof the fabrics made by students in
j this department. And they were
J beautiful.
Colors and designs are chosen and
i the weaving done by the students asi
| a part of their course. If all our.
clothing materials showed such taste |
as is evidenced by many of these
samples, it would soon be hard to find
an ugly piece of goods.
