VOL. VIII.— THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER By MRS. THKO. B. DAVIS Can any one tell me the real name of that beetle that has recently arriv ed for this year, and is dark gray with lighter spots, is about an inch long and one-third as wide, and has a way of flying straight at one, and then doubling its legs, folding its wings and falling on its back? Hate ful things. We used to call them jack snappers. which is probably not their right name. And speaking of beetles, would you have believed that there is a Wakelon teacher who has eaten June bugs? If times get any harder, I'm going to ask her how the South Americans cook the things, and publish the reci pe. If tho mocking bird does not love a joke, why does he take so much pleas ure in imitating the plaintive cry of a lost biddy? He must enjoy seeing thi housewife* rush out of the house to the rescue. Over and over we have been told that the Japanese spend a lifetime studying the arrangement of flowers and will put in a day considering the placing of one blossom in a vase. May be that's why they get desperate and rush out once in a while and kill some Chinese. Even in /ar off Hawaii teachers are encouraging small pupils to write spring poetry. Below aie given two printed in a recent Honolulu paper And the muse of poesy seems to in spire all her followers pretty much the same way. I like the old man cabbage. With wrinkles on his face. And his bald, bald head And his fat, fat face. Yacho Hidai. I like kohlrabi best of all. I love her very much. Her body’s round just like a ball Stuck full of arms and legs and such. Shizlie Tsukayama. Do you like fences? Not the neat starched and ironed liUle picket tenw cs that stand so importantly back of shrubbery 01 around yards; not barb ed wire fences, that could never la\ one claim to ornament or beauty, be ing only cruelly useful; not even fenc es of woven wire, that are advertiser, to be “bull Strong and pig tight ; but real, sure enough fenc*** made oi split rails? Wouldn’t you love to see one even to climb one? They stretch their length lazily u] hill and down, through field and wood like an infinite procession of letter v s hand in hand, their corners afforc.mg protection to more kinds of life than does their height. Their bottom raib are usuallv sunk into the ground then tor ones frequently slipped a little * way or the other. \ ines climb to tm ten, squirrels and chipmunks use thi ralw f(, r a promenade, snakes and liz ards lie stretched along it. rabbits hide and burrow in the shelter which bushes and weeds help the fence t< provide. Partridges nest in the shat] angles of the corners, near the held where food may be found. Blackberry and raspberry vines do their thorny best to hide everything else. Cows graze quietly, confined by the fence or, led by one more restless than the others, hunt a place where a rotter rail will give way under pressure, oi where the sagging weight has gone low enough to be jumped. They are probably obsolete in the day of progress, but the oldtime rai fence gave one a queer impression ol leisure and permanence that no othei kind does, <' 'Cpt a rock fence. General Assembly The General Assembly is still work ing on ways and means to provide taxes sufficient to “carry on” the ma chinery of state and 8-months schools for the next two years. It appears there is no way out without a sales tax. Some are determined that it shall he. while others are as equally deter mind that it shall not be. ■[’l,,, session will probably continue . . i t . ~ t two more weeks and pos sibly longer.

At night folk music was that o' | England. Scotland, \V ales, Ireland Hungary, Germany, Norway, Spain Russia, France and Poland.

ZEBULON. NORTH CAROLINA April 11, 1933 Easter And The Resurrection Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrec tion, not in books alone, but in every leaf in spring time.—Martin Luther. The event of Christ’s resurrection is glad tidings of greater joy than was the event of His birth, great as that was. HOPE ON Have faith in a third-day morning, In a resurrection hour; For what ye sow in weakness He can raise again in power. And the hopes that never on earth shall bloom, The sorrows forever new, Lay silently down at the feet of Him Who died and is risen for you. —H. B. Stowe Alas for him who never sees The stars shine through his cypress trees; Who hopeless lays his dead away, Nor looks to see the breaking day Across the mournful marble play. Who hath not learned in hours of faith This truth, to flesh and sense unknown: That life is ever lord of death, And love can never lose its own. —Whittier.
