VOIITME IX. THIS, THAI AND THE OTHER | B* MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS 1 While I could hardly be enrolled ; among the buy-nowers, I am cer- 1 tainly dtv a place on the hat of the i wish-I c'.ulders. An old colored man was telling' of sonic one who was sick, and de clared the illness was due to “’twixt time bathing." He said that he believed in bathing once a wegk and thus keeping clean; but that; Saturday nights are bathing times j and that all this here ’twixt time bathing weakens folks and makes them have pneumonia and other diseases and is a mighty risky sort of thing to do. Thanksgiving is not far off and already some of us are thinking of special reasons for gratitude. I’ve decided u on one. I am truly thank- \ ful that all the members of the fam ily honestly like black-eye peas. This is the time of year when for many families the orthodox breakfast for Monday morning is hash. Frying size chickens have been eaten or have grown too big to fry and old hens are being culled from the flock for Sunday dinners. And there is usually enough left— counting dressing, giblets and gra vy—to make hash for next day’s! breakfast. Add a chopped hard boiled egg or two an ( | a little milk, if there is not plenty without it and don’t forget the bit of onion without which hash is not its best self. Those who have said that %ve who vote against repeal are wast ing our votes do not truly under- > stand our feelings. We know that the eighteenth amendment is doomed and that our votes cannot change the result. But there is an | inner compulsion that forces us to j regisVr our protest without thought of victory. “It isn’t the ‘ fact that you’re licked that counts; it’s how did you fight, and \vhy.”| Then, too, we believe that “nothing j is ever settled until it is settled! right, “and that next time we shu i j know better how to prepare for the l battle. There is a verse of a hymn that ,kecps going over and over in mv mind, and it worries me. It say- : ’“My days are gliding swiftly by.” It docs not annoy me to know that my dav,s are passing; gliding is the inaccurate word that irritates. Gliding implies movement with ease and giace; flowing without noise; and my days are not like that. They usually hurry along, crowding awkwardly upon each other with hardly a pause to mark the change; though occasionally one stays so long that I feel it will I never go. They march or trot or gallop or crawl, hut they do not glide. If the price of any Commodity has been lowered in the last few years more than has that of wo-1 men’s hats, I don’t know about it. Unless you can afford much bet ter. you may be proud to wear a hat costing fro mninet.v-eight cents to three dollars, the latter price j being for a Sunday-go-to-meeting headpiece. And I remember a time—it is only fair to say that my husband | did not have to pay for it out of his own pocket, as I was making a salary then—when I paid nine dol lars and fifty cents for a summer hat. It was becoming, but it got wet and went to seed and wasn’t ! resentable for all of even one ■ eason. I’ve never felt quite right Fibout that hat. and some day when * I can find time I’m going to sit rown and do some really first-class. about having wasted that P» '■ nd now they say that we are ), /e a managed dollar. Who ed Inanage it? So far as mine ,re concerned, they have always >een managed within an inch of. heir lives, even to the very amall- It fractions thereof. Some one 1 “d me the other day if I didn’t I k the old paper dollars look Jghty large now. I replied that v kind of dollar looke large to e, nr*d always has. And if an'- m Zrbulmt W&mtb R. L Isaacs Host Insurance Meet Mr. R. L. Isaacs. Raleigh district manager, Mutual Life Insurance Co., of New York, was host to the agents of this company last Tues day evening, at The Carolina Pines club-house. There were guests and representatives from all over the state, among them the Hon Judge Thompson of Raleigh. The speakers wore: Mr. R. 1.. McMillian, spoke on Life Insurance As One of The High Callings of Humanity. He stated, “The public should have the attitude to feel complimented, when an agent calls on them as a prospect for life in surance, they should know, that they have been sized up as four cornered, square men and women, mentally, physically, morally, and financially.” Mr. M. W. McLaurin. manager of The Industrial Manufacturing Association of Charlotte, gave us new ideas as to how we should train our minds. "As a man thinks so he does^act.” Mr. Stanley K. McAfee, state manager for The Mutual Life In surance, showed how through the depression we had held our own an ( ( how we were steadily increas ing our business. The Carolina Pines Club-house was decorated in Halloween and autumn designs and colors. The dinner was in a six course style, meats, salads, nuts and deserts. —Mrs. Lela B. Horton.' New Business Open The Page Supply Co., Inc., has opened for business in the building formerly occupied by the Massey Lumber Co., three doors from the post office. Mr. W. M.

FATHER OFFERS BABY AS SACRIFICE John Strader, of Bachelor Hall. Va.. on Saturday night carried his year old baby to Dan River and held her head under the water un til she was drowned. He was found by neighbors with the dead body in his arms. For more than a year Strader’s mind is thought to have been af fected, and the dementia seemed to manifst itself more in religious matters. Neighbors recalled his having spoken of his final salvation depending upon the sacrifice of some one very dear to him. The wife is prostrate with grief. The father has been adjudged in sane. one can tell me how to ‘manage’ one and make it perform better than mine have been doing, he will find me an eager listener, and, T k o'*, c Ic"r"cr.

VAGABOND SONG There is something in the autumn that is native to my blood— Tooth of manner, hint of mood; And my heart is like a rhyme, With the yellow and the purple and the crimson keeping time. The scarlet of the maples can shake me like a cry Os bugles going by And my lonely spirit thrills To see the frosty asters like a smoke upon the hills. There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir; We must rise and follow her, When from every hill of flame She calls and calls each vagabond by name. —BLISS CARMEN.

YE FLAPOOOOLE By Th« Swashbuckler 11 " For me, this is hibernation week. I have been and still am asleep. ( Editor’s note: He has been, above ' the ears, for years and has just awakened enough to find it out.) A redeo, according to one of our popular young ladies of the village, i- what brings the music in from VVPTF. 1; you doubt that red anj blue go well together, just glance up million dollar avanue the next time Miss M starts across the street. Red jacket and blue pajamas do make a lovely combination. if two and two don’t make four, 1 certainly was drunk the other night at tile movies. There were two couples out in front of the Record office who were puttering with the popular pastime of ecking nay. They must have become hot and bothered for they drove off in a flurry to return later in the even ing for the 1)1,1 folks. The mention of a name here might cause trouble in the peace and quiet of Zebulon’s home life, hence there’s silence on the Western front. Va“ West’s “You got me” seems to have made a hit with quite a number of our local girls. At any rate they seem to be acquiring the walk that Mae used in the play. This saying that is going the rounds of the elite now, “You can’t go wrong in an Austin" should he changed. One of the Ral eieh coppers put the Indian sign on me for going wrong. I cot on a one-way stree. According to a news note, the nose is not a part of the face. So that’s the reason w unen don’t put, r,,ug« on that too. In that case, no one has ever been close enough to Jimmie Du rante to see his face. Pardon my being so inquisitive, but wh" was the gent who had his girl (?t fooled so well the other night. She thought that he waa tight. That’s a good joke on her. He wasn’t tight, he was drunk! The little dreams says that the Austin is too small to be called a lemonsine. It should be pronounced “lime-o-sine’ ! And don’t slam the door as you go out. Foote-note: Ye editor hereby notifies the public in general and the youngsters in particular that he was not, is not and will not be responsible or held accountable for any letter, syllable, word, phrase or sentence appearing in this column that appears to be the truth, that raises one's dander, or slanders the unbecoming conduct of hard boiled or stale human effigies. Now say it. or do it. We stand both unresponsible and irrespon sible. Now go to it. Education Week The week of November 6-12 will be American Education Week. Members of the P. T. A. and *H others interested are asked to look for detail announcements of radio broadcasts to be given daily over WPTF, Nov. 6-11 at 2.00 p. m. and <>n Nov. 12 at 3.00 p. m.
