VOLUME IS, THIS, THAI AND THE OTHER —■ . % Bv MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS % Did you notice what our Union Hope correspondent last week said canning tomatoes in tobacco barns? If I only had the tobacco and the barn I’d certainly try that method. A daily paper tells of its being used in .the section around Goldsboro. And aren’t these the busy days for farm women! Besides the to t,; matoes to be canned and the ap ples to be dried there are jars to be filled with peaches—not only canned, but pickled, preserved and jammed—melon rinds to be made into the best possible substitute for candied citron, cucumbers to be put into brine —and the folks still want and need three meals a day. At least there’s no monotony on the farm. And when we look at our shelves filled with rows of jars ready for winter we feel repaid for the long hours of work that put them there. * I have about come to the conclu sion that the main reason every home does not have a plentiful sup ply of fruit is our tenant system. Few land-owners care to go to the expense of buying and setting out trees that may be ruined by a care less tenant or a greedy cow or hog. Even the lack of care in plowing near a young tree may ruin it by injuries to the bark. On the other hand a tenant will seldom put ottt trees that he may not stay to see intp bearing. It must be another of those vicious circles we hear about. (Sometimes I think if we could see' all those circles our lives would look like the long lines of interlocked ovals we used to make in our copy books.) And what’s to be done about it is more than I can say. Last week I heard a man talking about the enjoyment his children have had this year in going to a tree near the house for peaches. It | seems that they have not known this privilege before, which is a; pity. Every village and country! child should have the inalienable right to the pleas ire, and perhaps the pain, of eating fruit grown at home. Mrs. J. B. Outlau has a fine re cipe so making yea it-at home. She sent me some and it looks and acts much like Magic yeast. I am ask ing her for the di'ections to be printed and hope yt u make some, if the family likes rolls. Along about this time of the year farm folks are likely to be-1 come more than ever popular with relatives and friends in town and 1 city. If they don’t come at any other time, you may be excused for wondering whether it is the charms of the family or t ie farm that draws Vhem. Still, y< u usually en joy their visits, un ess they say too much about “h >w calm and peaceful it is out here.” However, if they are the kind who tell you over and over that you don’t know how fortunate you a -e to be out in i the country where your fruit, vege-1 tables, milk and bu ter, eggs and chickens don’t cost you anything—• well, if they are th.it kind, I only hope that you are able to keep from putting poison into their food.

Many inquiries had reached leigh on the subject, McMullan said, ■ from tobacco centers where, it was feared. the law* did not’ exlempt' the weed. A 'movement had -been launched at Reidsville to call upon Governor Ehringhaus to issue a statement on the question. “The sales tax act exempts en tirely from taxation products of ’ farms, forests and mines when sold by the persons or members of their ' immediate families or by employees forming a part of the organization of persons who produce such pro ducts in the original state o» con ' dition or preparation for sale,” Mc- Mullan ruled. Under this provision the sale of tobacco by farmers on the ware ; house floors through North Caroli na, is totally exempt from the sales tax. both wholesale and retail.” Sale of cotton and tobacco by other than the producers will be 1 considered a wholesale sale, McMul lan said, and the wholesale rate of $lO on each $2,500 sale will be le vied with the minimum being $12.50 for each six months period.— Greensboro Daily News.

Bry j ant had a very narrow’escape with his tobacco barn. He had just start j ed killing the leaf and was sitting \ under the shelter when he heard a j roaring and upon investigating he found the noise to be in the, barn. Rushing to the door he found that a stick of tobacco had fallen on the tee and was afire. Looking up into the barn he saw that the whole room of tobacco above the tee was in a blaze. Before he could break the news to his neighbors the fire was spreading rapidly. It was not long however, before the people be gan gathering, for the smoke was raging. They went to work with all their might, both men and women, some carrying water, some tearing off the top. They were very busy for a short time, but their efforts were not in vain. Three rooms of tobacco was all he lost—not even the sticks. The fourth room was slightly schorched on the ends. The barn still stands on its same old foundation and is curing more to bacco. We consider it very fortunate for Mr. Bryant that his loss was no greater.—Union Hope Corre spondent. Sees Sights Would you have thought that in North Carolina there lives a man who had never seen a town, an au tomobile, a movie show or a negro until two weeks ago—and that he is 72 years old ? The man is Edward Gladstone j and his home is 13 miles from Murphy in the extreme south-west ern part of the state. He had taken* some earn to have it ground at a mountain mill when J. H. Voyles and I). A. Silver, both of Murphy, drove up in a car and offered to take him to town. Overcoming his fear that the automobile would jump down the side of the moun tain, Gladstone accepted the invi tation and had the time of his life. * He has decided to malae (mne changes in his way of living; so it I is presumed that he will go to | town again. Lost— One Arm Henry Meimar, of Oregon, was riding with another man in a car when they passed a truck. Meimar, on the right side of the car, had his aim on the window sill. He com plained that he was hurt by the j truck as they passed, but had gone! for five miles more before he real-! ized that his right arm had been torn off. He was rushed to a hospi-1 tal for, a blood transfusion and, physicians think hp? has a fain chance to recover. Seaichers found !• s oi m in the road.

Diseased Animals Are Stolen A Nebraska hospital reports the theft of 30 rabbits and 6 guinea pigs which had been inoculatted with dangerous infectious diseases. Newspapers have been asked to publish warnings of the danger in curred. In addition to the probable risk of those involved in the stealing or handling of these animals, their loss means that more than a year’s : work in making tests will be de- I stroyed.

Three Cars In Wreck A wreck itt which no one was fa tally hurt occurred at 11:30 last Sunday night-on highway 91. one and a half miles east of Zebulon, when the driver of one- car cut into the other two. , The three cars in tthe wreck ! were: a Ford coupe, 1930 model, -a * Buick seda;u and a 1933 Chevron I let sedap.. The. Buick, was driven b v Dr. Freeman, of. Bailey; the Chev rolet by Jphn p.. Grimes,..of Salis bury; the. F,ord by a youngs lady Whose name .is not known. . . The wreck, which completely de-» irlolished one car apd wrecked the other two, occurred when Grimes, meeting the Ford, which was close ly followed by the Buick, cut into it and then side-swiped the Buick. When the noise of the crash sub sided and the dust settled the Ford was in the middle of the road, the Buick in a ditch on its side and the Chevrolet! bottjom-side-up in th*? ditch on the other side of the road headed in the opposite direction from that which it wifc going wheq struck. Grimes, driver of the Chevrolet, suffered two fractures of his left leg above the knee and cuts on the face. Dr. Freeman, driver of the Buick. has two brokn ribs and was severely bruised internally. The young lady is in a Wilson hospital. None of the three isjn serious dan ger, but recovery for Grimes and Freeman is expected to be slow. Teachers’ Salaries Not Yet Fixed Salaries for school teachers in the state have not been finally de cided upon and will not be before August of Hawaii, who generously in forms me that the recently publish-: ed “bone-meal-and-glass” mixture was not orig'.tal with Mr. Fite,.but that the so, mula belonged to one Sailor Dan/of Philadelphia. Furth ering his description of Gob Daniel ho states that Mr. Daniel was also the famous hedge-thief of the fore mentioned city.. The way he worked is described as follows: Dan would on a certain day plant a hedge for some patron of Filly, receive com pensation and depart. Upon awak ening the next day, the buyer of the hedge would find his shrubbery gone. Investigation would later re veal Sailor Dan planting a hedge of the same variety and size on some other victim’s premises in an other part of the city. That, I be lieve, is another form of the Chi nese game consisting chiefly of: “Sellum doggee, doggee him come back, allee samee sellum doggee, gin him come back, allee timee makee money still got poochee”— Speaking of Chineks, reminds : ti ! frum-me come-to-me?” “Have I I got what?” “You jcatchum, go frum-me allee timee makee noisee, o—o —o —w —a —ah, o—o —o —w —a—h?” “Do you mean an accordian?” asked the pawn broker, as he took from his shelf a battered instrument and carefully wiped from it the accumulated dust of ages. “Yeh,” replied John Chinaman, “Him I want. Pullee pusiiee, pushee-pullee, allee timee o—| —o —w —ah, o—o —o—w —ah.” • Read in one of our dailies where a couple were divorced be cause “she” let dust accumulate on the mantels and his bureau. I sup pose his marriage vow read some thing like this, “Till dust do us part.” And Bert, that versa tile grease-washer of the J. M. Chevrolet place, advises me that the new concern in Wendell will ! probably be called “J. M., j’r.” ! '’raven Blown, erstwhile soda-jerk er, now man of means from Mary land, has again “blown” into town with the crack that if Dr. Freeman had not been in his car when it ■.. as viecked, he probably wouldn’t have been hurt! Quite an astound i ing conclusion, eh Gaston? From various and sundry places I have gathered information that is of interest to auto owners. The ways to keep from running out of ! gas. 1. Don’t drive any. 2. Sell your car. 3. Keep your tank full. 4. Keep your tank empty. 5. Junk the dam thing.—And, did you hear about the gent who had eaten so much s*4_ food that his teeth were covered i ith barnacles? You didn’t? That’s funny; it must have been the same i s jy •
