VOM-ME IX, THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Last week I a.-ked my mother I why people in the section where I was brought up most often say cook-room instead of kitchen. She j explained that years ago when I folks had servants the kitchen was i a separate building not connected to the main house, but frequently] at some distance from it. Then when they began to build under; one roof al! the rooms of the house, the one in which the meals were, prepared didn’t seem a real kit chen—so they called it a cook room. Quite logical when one un derstands it. Another expression which T had ] t eard all my life, but which was 1 new and amusing to John Hill is to sav of one who inherted something that he “heireri it.” A mere matter of making a verb of a noun. And did you ever hear one dress in a bride’s trousseau called her, “second day’s dress"? That was the one she wore to the infare that was given for the couple the day after the wedding. Do you know what an infare is—or was? It was a kind of reception where the guests all sat down to tables of rich food for either dinner or sup per, and some relative of' the bride or bridegroom was the host. That program given by members of the Department of Literature of the Woman’s Club last week was of exceptional interest to me. We heard of the struggles of women of more than a hundred years ago 40 gain for their sex some measure of justice. , l am deeply thankful not to have lived when a husband had a legal j right to beat his wife, provided he used “a reasonable instiument” for that purpose—he seeming to be the *'-idge as to the reasonableness of jy .* I am glad, too. that my day was later than that in which wo men were thought to need no schooling, or very little. I do, however remember when it was thought unusual for a girl to lead her class in arithmetic or al gebra. She might be first in gram mar or even in geography or his tory. but mathematics was a mas culine science and for a gill to shine there dimmed her popularity in other spheres of action. In an article in a recent Atlantic Monthly a woman writer stated that life would be so much simpler,! if, instead of being made a little lower than the angels, mankind had been merely made a little high er than the other animals. The trouble with us. is that we act at •times as if we were hardly higher than th- others, forgetting the •heights for which we were created. I On my way home from a call one day this week I saw a very small boy | laying in a yard that also held a very large cactus plant which bore many “cactus pears.” I cross ed the street and spoke to the baby, who is two years old and wore overalls and a big smile. As he! saw me approach the cactus he call- j ed. “Don’t. It bite." I thanked him for telling me and he invited ■meto go in. When I said I hadn’t w* ime he took my finger, pulled j f ie toward the steps and insisted, K“0, come in." To please him—and | feigiyself—and to talk a few minutes jjfYith his mother, who had come * to the door, I went up a few of Vhe steps. He patted a step and I nsisted that I sit down, then ran j - As for an instant, coming hack I with a copy of Good Housekeeping. Mvhich he handed me saying “Mag [Xbsine.” I was so glad he did not I (»J it a book, as many older per- I soi|s do. When I lett he invite,| me Ito come again. And that baby l didn’t know me at all. He is just ■unusuallv friendly and hospitable. f ( A«D OF THANKS L **VV wish to express our sincere to the many friend* K helped us in the recent sick and death of out daughter. ■MR. and MBS. K. B. SYKES and FAMILY. Eire Zrtmlnn ißcrnrit Speach Campaign For Dry Orators Raleigh, Oct. 23. —United Dry Headquarters here are announcing about eighty speeches scheduled for places throughout North Caro lina during the next two weeks. I There are ten more addresses ar ranged for Honorable Clyde R. ! Hoey, who more than fulfilled all j that was expected of him on the I occasion of his speaking in Char . lotte, Friday night and at a big mass meeting in the city auditor i ium, Raleigh, Sunday afternoon. Dr. Henry L- ui* Smith, <>f ] Greensboro, president emeritus of | Davidson College, ex-president of Washington and Lee University, and distinguished scientist, will make nine more addresses. Judge E. Yates Webb, who has been mak ! ing addresses since the campaign - began it to make at least six more. : Rev. A. J. Barton, beloved Bap ; tist minister of Wilmington, is ex pected to speak ten times. Col. John. F. Langston, of Goldsboro is much sought after, and will speak at least at five points before the campaign ends. Honorable Zeb V. Turlington, the author of the Turlington Act, will speak in at least five more 1 oirns; Honorable Jake F. Newell, : Charlotte will make addresses i: . five or six cities; and Rev. Zer.i Wall of Shelby will contiue th.> tra dition of the Shelby Baptist church ; of which he is pastor, by speaking a number of times on prohibition] at many different points. Many other speakers will talk j prohibition and temperance at stra I tegic points throughout the length j and breadth of the State. Local papers will carry an nouncements of the exact hour ami date of these various speakings. — Club Meeting The general taeetintc as the Wo man’s (Tub of Zebulon was held, for October on Tuesday afternoon at the clubhouse with Mesdame* W, C. Campen and E. C. Daniel hostesses. The auditorium was made much more attractive by the decor ations of tall flowers. There was a good attendance. After the business session the pies j ident, Mts. C. E. Flowers, intro duced J. 1. White, speaker of the day. Mr. White greatly pleased his audience with an address in which he heartily commended tiv comen. of the club for the work which they have done and are do-| ling, and with tl i rtin nt su, gestions which he offered foi l broadening the scope of this work.] During the social hour the hos-j tesses served sandwiches and wa fers with ginger ale, the latter be ing donated by Carolina Pines Co. Mrs. Shaw, representing Carolina Pines Co., made a short talk, em phasizing the merits of this ginger ale. Mrs. W. B. Farmer was a visitor at the meeting. i Back To The Farm j National interest has been arous ,ed in a suggestion made a short time ago by Editor Walter P. Mc , Guile of the Southside Virginia News, l*|rter*buig. Virginia; the j suggestion being that farm | boys keep on the farm. It’s a simple suggestion, and a very sound one. How much unem ployment has been caused by the trek from farm to city is problem j atical hut it would make an im-l piessive total. Thdfce young men, | for the most part, aie untrained and inexperienced and unfitted for factory work. They rarely find jobs above the common labor level. They are the first to he dismissed when j times get hard—and the last to be taken hack when recovery starts. They know farming—and the farm is where they belong, for their own good and for that of the na tion. It is on the farm that they have their chance to prosper and live happy lives. It’s time the trend was reversed with the faim-hoys turned-city-boys going home again. Produce merchants in thirteen states have sent trucks into the Hamburg section of Jackson Coun ty this year to buy cabbage*. Growers are getting fair prices for their product and the demand is heavy, *nys County Arent G. 11. Lu.-k-i/.

Hawley first said that the mail-bags had been stolen from him, hut later con fussed the theft. Nothing had been taken from the pouches when they were recovered. Residence Burns A two-story residence about a quarter of a mile beyond S, Z. (Jill’s cotton gin was burned Sat urday morning about four o’clock. The lire made a very spectacular effect, and many people thought at first that one < f the oil tanks near by was on fire. The house and its contents were completely destroy ed. It was occupied by Bill Wheel er. At the time he and his family were away from home. Everything of his household goods was des troyed and nothing was saved ex cept what the family wore away. The burned building was owned by the Farmers' Cotton Oil Com pany of Wilson. It is understood that some insurance was carried on the house, hut none on its Con tents. Union Chapel Meeting Closses The meeting at Union Chapel (I used Sunday night, October 22, with 7 additions tin the church which we think was a good meet ing, since there were 5" people added to the church there last year. The pastor did the preaching an ( j very large crowds attended. Every one seemed to get a blessing from the meeting. We will have a business meeting of old church members next Sun da;, nl. ’ ber 2'i. Every - 1 e.‘ be present. Feldman Speaks Baptist Chuurch A. C. Feldman, a converted Jew, spoke at the local Baptist church last Sunday night. Mr. Feldman was born in Palestine and gave a striking description of his native land. He urged his hearers to re member that the Jews do not have the whole Bible,- hut only parts of it; an ( | that many of them are eager to know of Christ. He him self gives all his time to mission work among the Jews. In a conversation Mr. Feldman quoted an ancient Hebrew proverb which says; I would rather lose with a wise man than win with a fool. He also spoke of a special •Jewish prayer in which the men thank the Lord that they were not created women. Graham Oppossed To Dry Law Repeal l)r. Frank Porter (Jraham, presi dent of the University of North Carolina, said here yesterday he was opposed to repeal of the pro hibition amendment because the li quor traffic is a menace to society. I»r. Graham gave his views on prohibition as follows*. “We who still support prohibi tion are not unaware of prohibi tion’s many failures and their sin ister implications. We, too, believe that the truest prohibition is the self-control that comes from within the Individual. ‘‘But we also believe that free dom and self-control find their re enforcement in the environment of the community and the sanctions of society. “I am opposed to traffic in li quor for the same furn\itnentul reason that I am for abolition of child labor, night work for wo men, the long work week, low wag es. war, and many other forms of human exploitation that tears down and destroy the bodies and person alities of human beings." Nine farmers have <!'i r - ”.d fiW-d trench silo* within NR A Leaves Small Towns Announcement has been made that because of adverse sentiment NBA will leave alone all small towns and villages. Chain stores are excepted, as are small factories I doing interstate business and those mploying more than five people.

Th# game was played, lost and won, and the two teams retired for a lit tle social hour. (With the ladies of Smithfield). Ah ha! here is where the dirt dauber comes in. A very handsome young man met a very comely young lady and ia ' the course of the evening they withiirew from the dull and quite hiring conversation of the “gang** unto a secluded plot of wooded (?) woods.
