VOL. VIII.— [HIS, THAT AND THE OTHER By MBS. 'I'llKO. 11. DAVIS No, the rags asked for on sub scriptions were not for use as wear ing apparel for the RECORD force; they were to be used to clean the machinery. You see, we have to wear our own; but we thought perhaps some of our readers had more than they needed. Several friends have asked that we print the recipe for a cake that is both good and easy to make, besides inexpensive. I have used thfs one for years: Beat two eggs light with one cup ful sugar. Add, a little at a time, one cupful of flour which has been sifted with a teaspoonful of baking-powder and a pinch of salt. This makes a kind of dough instead of a batter. Bring one-half cupful of sweet milk to a boil, add two tablespoonfuls of butter, let it melt, and pour this ovet the cake mixture, beating it hard until well mixed. Add flavoring and bake at once in layers, or a thin loaf, using moderate heat. This amount makes two medium sized layers. Double it, and you will have a big cake. A delicious filling is made by boiling a can of crushed pineapple with one cup of sugar and a few spoonfuls of water for about five minutes and then thickening it with two tablespoonfuls of flour made in to a paste with water. Add a pinch of salt, boil the mixture a few min utes more, take it from the stove and add a tablespoonful of butler. Stir it until it cools slightly, then spread between the layers of cake, and on top. ' A good coeoanut filling is made by boiling two cups of sugar with one of water until it forms a thin sirup. Add all of a grated coeoanut except enough to sprinkle over the top and -ides of the cake. When it boils up again, thicken with the flour as with pineapple filling, and use in the same way. These fillings stay soft and do not break the cake when cut; and are therefore much better for a cake made by the recipe above than is a regular icing. We are extremely fond of freshly grated coeoanut. but do not care much tor either the dried or canned kinds. And the family never realizes how nearly they approach cannibalism when they eat the nuts that 1 grate. It seems impltssibli to keep from grating off a goodly portion of my hands. Recently J di p ovciVd thu* wearing gloves while doing the grat ing is a big help. (They are old wjiite gloves, and, if shreds of them get into the coeoanut, it doesn’t show). In the past few weeks 1 have lis tened to two conversations that were of special interest to me. Both were on the same subject, and I had no part in either. On man declared that he would have been better off if he had made no effort to grow a crop of potatoes, since he made less than they cost him. The other man said he planted $1.25 worth of seed, and didn’t get any return for work or cost in money. But he also said he was glad he tried; that it was worth at least that much to him to be able to feel that he had done all he could; that his conscience was clear on that score. And I thought of the intangi bles that mean even more than bread. A young fried of my daughter’s ohee told me that she was all out of patience with so much mushy talk about mothers, and said she believ'd children grow up to be what they do become in spite of mothers as often as because of them. I’ve come to about the same conclusion with regard to political parties. They don’t save the country half so often as orators and would-be orators would have us believe, and these United States go on in spite of them as much as because of them. Still, it must be a great grand and glorious feeling to get all full of convictions and wrought up with emotions and fired with zeal so: ! the only party that can save the country in these critical timet- and then to get up on a platform and tell folks about it. Thus has it been. Thus will it ever be. A ring on the phone often leads to a ring on the finger. i 3lhr Zebitlon Wittttrb A N NOl N< KM KM On next Tuesday at :J:.'SO p. m. there will be a meeting of the Civics De-j p.irtment of the Woman's "Club.

L. Easier, said to be a deserter I front the United States Army, shot and killed Mrs. Lena Hales in the yard of her father’s home near Fayette ville last Sunday night. Easier then ’ killed himself. Jealousy is thought to have been the cause of the murder. Mrs. Hales was separated front her husband. ij i Thief Betrayed By Own Cap p i The fact that he left his cap be | hind served to connect Vance Barber . negro, with an attack made on Macon j! Alford, Raleigh merchant. The crime 3 was committed on October ■'! 1. Alford I |was critically injured while guarding e 'his store. The negro entered for the ,! purpose of robbery. He is said t< [ have admitted his guilt after his ar- J rest by officers of the Raleigh police] ( : force, who had searched for him since Alford was hurt. ; .Mrs. (. E.

About sixty guests called. 11 If you will enjoy the fire, you must put up with the smoke, j It’s foolish sheep that makes the , wolf his confessor. The lass that has many wooers oft . fares the worst. Too late the bird cries out when it is caught. i Self conceit is a poor seat to sit : on.

THE KfcCORD, Zebulon, Wake County, N. C.. November 11. 1932 Curb Market Very Profitable Perhaps no movement of recent t'mes has been more important for Zebulon and the surrounding countrv than the one which the Women’s Club has tentatively begun. This is a plan for a Curb Market, which would be of equal benefit to the town and to those who live near by. The idea i:: to procure a building which will by furnished free of cost to all women who have a surplus of produce and wish to sell it. In this Curb Market all vegetables, chickens, eggs, butter, milk, fruit—everything that can be used—may be offered for sale. There will not be the worry of running around over town looking for custo mers, when they know where produce may be found. If you are interested in the develop ment of this project, let the Woman’s Club hear from you. Naturally, the interest aroused will largely deter mine results. Hurricane Rages In Carribean A hurricane in the Caribbean Sea did great damage to both English and ■ American freighting vessels. One ship was lost, but the crew were ■ saved. It was feared that the hur ricane might strike Cuba or Mexico I but they were not in its path. , FI Tl RE I MUM IUS HIM PAPER In Danville, Ark., the Danville chap ter of the Future Farmers of America. • an organization of rural high school agricultural students, has bought the 1 local weekly paper, which will be con tinued as a weekly with the vocation al education director as editor. I M SI M. ADD Here is an actual ad, copied from The Publishers’ Auxiliary: “Lazy man,, terrible printer, worse opera -1 tor, wants job. After 2P years have learned I can’t cat without working. Will write a news story or sell jobs and advertising on a pinch. If you must do so, write ” Tobacco Market , 111 spite of rain, clouds, politics and elections, the Zebulon Tobacco mar ket has for the last week been get ting better and better. Monday’s - ,les were good, then came Tuesda, I with the election of a Democratic President. But the farmers, already • using better times, did not wait a r. mute to celebrate, but loaded thoii tobacco on wagons, trucks and cai> and brought it to Zebulon, sold :t and went home to get another load Now, th. L s i e way to celebrate m good Democratic fashion. The warehouse men tell us that they expect the ales to pick up rapid ly now that election is over and every body is elected! Times are alreaoy better—ir the minds of the folks, an.l after all, good times and bad times are very much a matter of psychology —whatever that it. So come on you farmers, who have been missing some unusually fine sales, and take advan tage of the better prices and the tine service you will find on the Zebulon tobacco market. The friendliness of a woman is, sometimes won through flattery. A man usually looks foolish when he leaps before he looks. Those who return a borrowed book} or unbrella can be trusted with any-; thing. The truth is always right, but sel dom popular. It’s easy to satisfy a self-satisfied person. Honesty is the best policy, though it may not pay the largest dividends. To make a book is no less a trade j than to make a clock. You can tell from honey w-here the bees have been. Better the harm I know than the harm T know not. Have a cage before you get a mock ing bird. Falsehood is never so successful las when she baits her hook with truth. He who lends to the poor gets his interest from the Lord. In vicious company you are among 1 your enemies. Careless shepherds make many a feast for the wolf. Woman is the Sunday of man’s life. The devil leads him by the nose Who the dice too often throws. IMPORT \NT MEETING On Monday night there was held i! at the Woman's Club a meeting of i town and school officials, welfare ! workers and representatives from the ■(churches oi tite community to plan for th< relief v.-i-rk that will In need led "i tli - section during the coming 'j months. Mr. Farrell of the Wake 'j County Welfare Department, and .Mrs. Anna Lewis, case worker, were pre- 1 1 sent to advise and suggest. Full pub -1 licity will be given to the plans when ' they are fully developed. The people] ' of Zebulon and the surrounding com-l ' munity have never failed to help when' ■j they thought need acute and the needy ' deserving; and they will cooperate i again. Mrs. Lewis will be on Thursday as ; ternoons hereafter in the building formrly used by Massey Bros. She will investigate cases, make out requi sitions and help in other ways with the work of relief. ! ‘ CORN SIRUP A farmer near Goldsboro has learn ed by experiment that he can make i good sirup from corn stalks, using the same process as that by which molasses is made from cane. Hej l plans to grind late corn stalks, and says the yield of juice is better than i that from cane. 1 \\ \K EI.ON P. T. \. MEETS The P. T. A. of Wakelon School . was held in the Wakelon auditorium Monday evening. November 7, at 7:MO 1 o’clock. j After a brief business session Mrs. - R. E. Pippin gave a very interesting - and complete report of the district meeting recently held at Spring Hops. Following this report the subject| for the evening was announced as “Citizenship” with Supt. E. 11. Moser 1 the speaker. Mr. Moser gave a most helpful and entertaining address which was enthusiatieally received by those present. Attendance prizes were then aw.ird ’ ed the following rooms-: Miss Win -1 stead’s and Miss White’s primary. Mrs. Bunn's and Miss Alston’s gram mar grade. Miss Hoggard's and Mr Rrookland's high school. Prior to this meeting the grade mothers held their regular study] course in the library. The outstand ing talks made to this class were by! Mrs. M. J. Sexton and Mrs. Then. B. Davis, each speaking on Children’s Literature. Wise Men’s Thots With the anarchist business is al ways on the bomb. Some women are so foolish they should have been men. To do his best is a credit to any man. Lots of men seem to be long on “shorts.” A lot of time is wasted in trying to think up ways to save it. A breakfast nook is where the family eats three times a day-—un ' less there is company. The whole family reduces when father gets a reduction in salary. A word to the wise is sufficient; a word to the unwise is impossible. Only an idle man tempts the devil. Men as a rule are all right until ; they begin boasting about themselves. Middle age is that period of life when retrospection begins to get the jump on anticipation. ) Mrs. P. B. Brantlev •/ Loses Fine Hog When Mrs. Pattie Brantley ap proached her hog pen last Monday morning to feed them, to her sur prise she found her choice hog dead. The previous night the hog seemed to be in perfect health, hale and ! hearty. On examining the hog it was found that the gozzle hv some me;ins was broken. She had been giving the hogs lye to improve their appe tite. It is believed that she over dosed them with the lye and that it caused an erosion in the throat. The hog would have dressed about 200 lbs. Mrs. Brantley is a widow with five children to feed and only has one hog left for her winter’s support. We consider it a great loss , ;.nd misfortune to her. A. D. Brantley. Lorres. Kind words may never be lost, but they are frequently mislaid. Heavy Rains Damage Crops Florida report- a rain of 21.50 i'..l which is said t-- have put 10 squall ] mile- of land under water, with crop loss of 10,000 acre.-. Traffic on lateral roads ha- been stopped, and oil main highways cars are in places up to their running-boards in water. ( LASS MEETING ] The Baptist Philathea Class held the meeting for November on Mon day afternoon in the home of Mrs. C. V. Whitley. The attendance was good and the program was interest ing and well received. Mrs. C. H Chamblee was theguest speaker. The next meeting of the class will be held in the home if Mrs. Jethro Stell. Mrs. J. M. Whitley. General News In Brief i :j PAY IN POETRY In Virginia the president of Wil i liam and Mary College has recently paid to the governor of the state orig inal verses in Latin in full payment of the college’s debt for the year for the original grant of 20,000 acres ofi land from the British crown. This annual payment in verse was <1 is-' (continued for years, but revived in 19:10. I 1 i MURDER IN HVRNKTT ) Alvin Byrd, young white man of, Harnett Co., near Lillington, was . found dead in his own car on Sunday {night. Ilis throat had been cut al j most from ear to ear. He had evi-j . jdently been dead about two hours i j when found. Facts about the case! are lacking, as yet, although arrests I • have been made on suspicion. \\ RE< l\ \ I TEMPTED - It is thought than an attempt was} made to wreck the train on which! {president Hoover rode to California jto vote. The occurence took place] 'in Nevada, and the men concernedi {were frightened away by a watchman.] 'They dropped a sack containing sticks! lof dynamite, and other sticks were] -'found in the dirt where the watch -1 man scuffled with two men, one if; {whom shot a finger off the watch-, Jinan’s left hand. I Record Vote ’Tin News and Observer states that I _ i Tuesday’s vote set a new record I'm . Democratic majorities in Wake conn ty. Not only county officials hut al-J so state and national tickets showed big majorities for the Democrats. The. Socialist vote may be a surprise to! many. j <l.Ol DID RSI IN FLORIDA West Palm Beach, Fla. broadcasted, an appeal for aid for farmers in thej outlying district, who had suffered 1 , the loss of their crops because of a' cloudburst which put the land under 1 21 inches of water. Birthday Party On November the oth, the children! of Mrs. I>. B. Winstead of near Nash ville gave their father a birthday din-] ner in the home of his younger daugh ter, Mrs. Maurice Hinton, of Hales Chapel section. The beautiful birth day cake hail only seventy-two can dles, a candle for each year of life spared here. We are hoping he; will enjoy many more years to come. 'There was tine of his pals, an old Con federate soldier, with him who was eighty-eight years old. There was plenty of barbecue, chicken, sand wiches. cakes, pickles, and other good things to eat. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs D. B. Winstead. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Joyner and children, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Winstead, of Nashville, Mr. and Mrs. George Joyner, and sister. Bea trice. of High Point.

There were two sons and several grand children that were not present. According to a cynic the “up ano | up” of marriage is putting up and, shutting up. Love that can be supported at small ( .'cost lasts the longest. I YE FLAPDOODLE I:> Tin ■su v ■» li id ( Iv I I U So you're wondering ton.
