L. VIII.— na |jm IS, THAI H m THE OMR: tIW C « Bv >,KS - THEO. IS. DAVIS I have had a new experience, and , ' s f s most pleasant one. Just after din- t i onu da J’ as *' wet ‘*' there was a . v v our front door —a gentle n. I answered it and there -(IF. Jqi.,,! Nyoung man, black-haired. ar. Ji and Ho saifi he ’‘tnt for me. I resigned my *-r¥. tti, jfeten to an agent’s talk and fieai to help one more youth If ''u/gli college. But what do you mT! . ose happened? That boy said his W piece- and said it nicely—handed jHrie some circulars and a package each W.j i Lux and Kin SO and a cake of Lux Ifßtoap, and left. He didn’t ask me to ign anything, nor to pay a penny- even to promise tQ psy the mail charges on anything. I actually M .ailed him back and asked him if he V were Quite sure he was doing the thing W right, and he said he was. But I have I) not yet recovered from the shock. [ TV, L During the years that we lived in J v‘big city the fire trucks used to pass -Pour door whenever an alarm was )’ turned in from that district, lna, ■as because there were no street cars ) n Fifth Ave. while they ran on both Fourth and Sixth. The fire trucks were drawn by horses, three abreast, and the dash to a fire was the most thrilling thing l saw in those days. Even after twenty-five years my oulse quickens when I recall the way those horses ran, eys wild and glaring, nostrils flared wide, iron-shod hoofs pounding, the whistle sounding as loudly as possible all the while, in these days the thrill that comes nearest to that afforded by the lire horses is furnished by the state high way-patrol. T hey flash b>, ejs -traight ahead, badges gleaming motors humming, with a look ot des perate resolution to get to some place immediately and for some set purpose. And my imagination races with them long after they are out of sight, then <om«s reluctantly back. It may be because I grew up in the country where light outdoors at night was a rare and pleasant thing: but I do love to see windowshades leit high enough for some gleams to shine out into the darkness. It adds a tou ch of comfort when one is travel ing after day is done to see lighted v indows in homes that are passed. And it is not all carelessness that causes me to leave the shades at the .itting-room windows up; in the back ( ,f my mind there is always the feel ing that there may be some one out „jde who needs those rays ot light. Here is a receipt for a cake that named Delicious Cake. 1 hut name all right, but, if you don’t tell those , ilo eat it, they”ll call it p >und cake. '1 hose directions were given to me :>y Mrs. Mary Kemp. Note the use of oda instead of baking-powder, and the cream of tartar. You can buy at the drugstore for five cents enough cream of tartar to last a good while. One cup butter Two cups sugar Three eggs. One cup buttermilk 'I hree i ups flour One-half teaspoonful soda fine teaspoonful cream ot tartai Cream butter and sugar together. Rent the volks of eggs and add t< -ugar and butter. Beat whites ami acid. Dissolve the soda n the butter milk and add this to the mixture. Sift the cream of tartar with the flour three times, then heat it into the other ingredients. Beat it long and hard— Mrs. Kemp says, “beat it until you can beat it no more” flavor as you can beat it no more ” flavor as preferred, and bake as a loat. One of those “cake-moulds" with a spout in the middle is best. And don’t bothei to ice this cake. It is good enough plain—that is, if you are nearly as /\ successful with it as Mrs. Kemp is. J. You can use fresh clabber in place of the buttermilk, if it is more con v venient. Attempted Robbery Fatal To Victim Morganton, Jan. B—David H. Shup ing, filling station operator, of Drexel was a victim of a daring hold up and attempted robbery in his own rai d about midnight last night. Start ing home about 11:30, with $550. on hi- person, just before he turned into his driveway, he -aw a man in the rear of the car. They grappled, and Shuping wa hot three times. Hear ing his cries neighbors came and the man ran without the money. The \vounde ( i rnan was carried to Grace Hospital here, where ho died about an hour later. No clue ha- yet been found as to who the assailant was. The nice thing about being a man is you don’t have to stay home after v u wash your head. And so the earth is losing speech v.. 11, th it ,-oundb hopeful, Perhaps- it is on the up-grade. 'fser I ■ * « . ”V U. I). C. Meeting "lie I m_n- Bis.sette chapter of the) U. I>.

Club Has Social Meet The Wakefield Home Demonstra tion Club held the December meeting at night, with the husbands of mem bers as special guests. Business was postponed until January, and a pro gram of stories, stunts and games substituted, under the direction of Mesdames A. S. Bridges and 8. H. Hoyle. Refreshments of hot coffee and cake were served. The fact that each member had taken some cake — her own choice as to kind gave a wide variety, so that each guest might be sure of getting a favorite flavor. Although the weather was exceedingly bad, the club house was most com fortable, with a good fire burning in .the open fireplace, and the meeting was thoroughly enjoyable. Wake lias 27 Students at N.

ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA Friday, January 13, IS*;]3. Wakefield Fire I Very Destructive) I, Sunday morning about 1:00 o’clock a man passing through Wakefield dis •ovc-red the old post office building on fire. He gave the alarm, and soon most of the people in the community j and many from Zebulon and the eoun ; try were there. But in spite of bucket I brigades and the use of chemicals. ! five buildings were in ashes when the I fire had burned out. j The three stores, close together were soon in flames. Elberl Rhodes | occupied the two story residence | joining the C. E. Pippin store house. All his household goods were rernov ] i ed before the fire reached the house | ext ; t some jars of jam, which were ' forgotten, we presume. The wind was blowing eatstward I and soon the old T. L. Honeycutt ' | store across the street was aflame, j Dr. G. M. Bell’s old home was almost ; ablaze, and the J. A. Kemp store house was on fire. Had the wind not t I shifted and but for the use of chemi cals by the Zebulon fire department i these buildings and perhaps others ! would surely have burned It is not known how the fire origi- ( I nated. The store rooms had been r 1 used for storage purposes and grading * tobacco in season. All belonged to C. E. Pippin except the one across the street. No insurance was carried * j on the buildings except one store and the residence, and that only covered t a small part of the total loss. ' Carteret County ■■ Bridive Planned a i Leading business men of Beaufort i N. C., have organized a company, the e Cape Lookout Highway, Inc., which ,■ is seeking to secure a loan of $610,- 000. to build toll bridges, causeways and roads from Lenoxville, a point on the sound a few' miles beyond Beau fort, to Cape Lookout. This project would connect highway No. 10 with a roadway directly to Cape Lookout. ’• Already the Government has spent j a million and a half dollars on the ! harbor of refuge at Cape Lookout, and j should this appropriation be made, it d would likely result in making this one v1 of the most famous resorts on the Atlantic seaboard. “ More Federal [\ Aid Rendered Dr. Fred W. Morrison, the Gover nor's Director of Relief, announces that through the help of the Recon _ struetion Finance Corporation 82,573,- . 877. will be spent in relief work in . North Carolina during the months of January and February. Local sources •j •■vill provide $677,070. One million and eighty-six thousand [ dollar s has been secured for the s months of Oct., Nov., and Dec., mak ing a grand total of nearly four mil lion dollars. Wake county is to receive of the .mount allotted lor January and Feb-j uary, $35, 000. for .Tan., and $45,- * COO. for Feb. It is probable that the onus will get smaller with the passage J of winter. t Every rninu e four babies are born j in Japan.
