THE ZEBULON RECORD VOLUME IX. THIS. TO m THE OTHER &» MRS. THE©. B. DAVIS i'huughtful Courtesy A recent Article on etiquette, written by Emily Tost, states that a prospective bride-groom should all means be sent an invitation to attend his own wedding. And if he should be as nervous during the ceremony as some I have seen, it might be well to mail him an an nouncement afterwards. The Old-Time Way Do any of you remember an old fashioned soap-making on the farm? Can you forget the smell of . it, compour ded of hot grease, lye. usually home-made, and wood smoke? Perhaps there was an add ed scent of sassafras from the stick that was used both to stir the mix ture and to flavor it; and this stick was better if it included a good bit of the mot. You had to watch the moon to secure the best results, but I am not sure whether it had to be a new moon or an old one. And you used any sort of fat—skins, bones, skip pers and all, as they happened to accumulate. If home-made lye was used it had to be from hard wood ashes, not pine. And you boiled and watched and stirred and poured in a little water when the bubbling threatened to overflow the wash pot which contained it. You made either soft or hard soap. The soft was poured into stone jars, Pig gourds or kegs, while the hard wa*» cut into blocks and allowed to “sea son.” It was any color of brown or gray and it did a great work in promoting that which is next to godliness. A College Definition 1 never learned how to make soap before I was married, though 1 had helped with it. Our daughter was through school before we ever tried to boil soap, and we used concen trated lye. I reminded her that a good bit of money had been spent on her education and asked her just what chemistry would call what we were doing. She said: “This is saponification. We are neutralizing a fatty acid with an alkaline ag“nt to give an ester and an alcohol.' Then she recited a good many let ters and figures. I told her that might be what she was up to, but that I was trying to make a pot of soap. It didn’t do as well as we had hoped, and it shrank fearfully, and we've ha/1 so little fat on hand at a time since then that I’ve not tried any more. But 1 am certainly going to make some by the recipe Mrs. Mclnness gave us at the Club, if 1 have to buy some lard, which was what she used in the demonstration. Hers was as good-looking as any bought soap, and was even nice to use for toilet purposes. You will' find the directions in an other column. I have learned that my trouble with the soap was just what my daughter claimed when we made it I used fat which had not been clarified and could not tell whether the proportions of grease and lye were exact. We should use only fat that has been cleared of skins and boms and which has been strained, if we want fancy soap or certain re sults, moon or no moon, THE FOl R-( Or.NTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE. JOHNSTON. N ASH AND FRANKLIN. “Everybody Wins” Is Slogan Os Record's Subscription Campaign GU ARANTEE OF 20 PER CENT COMMISSION E V E N THOUGH CANDIDATES DO NOT WIN ONE OF THE FOUR CASH PRIZES MAKES IT WORTH ANYONE’S TIME TO ENTER. SPARE TIME ONLY CAN NET WORKERS FROM $lO TO SIOO OR MORE IN CLEAR PROFIT, BESIDES HAVING A CHANCE TO WIN IST PRIZE OF FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Fulfilling the most optimistic an ti( ipation of The Record, Zebulon ami its surrounding territory is all agog over the announcement of this newspaper’s Free (lift Distribution of cash. The liberality of the offer —the fact that everybody wins something and the ease with which even the biggest of the prizes ma' be won. has already fostered in tense interest among readers of The Record. That it provides an unprece dented opportunity for people to share in a distribution of gifts through an old established business as the Record is freely admitted to be in every one of the many in quiries coming into our office. With the announcement that there will be given away within the next seven weeks four cash prizes, busy business men, energetic housewives and ambitious boys and girls all gave pause and considered such possibilities as applied to themselves. Particularly notable is the fea ture that everybody wins something in this campaign. There will be no i losers. There is no subterfuge in this campaign. The only thing re quired of anyone to become a par ticipant in this gift distribution >s Ifor him or her to be ambitious and Willing to grab the golden oppor tunity of life when they are pre sented upon such a scale as is offer ed under our profit sharing plan.

Miss Stoll's friends have never felt that she was guilty of criminal negligence and rejoice that the court so decided. —*■ Truett In Raleigh !>r. Geo. W.

Anyone will be proud to claim success for each and every one of the gifts listed are well worth the time and work i' takes to acquire them. To become a 'candidate for the gift distribution i is an easy matter. To win the big gest of the prizes is just as easy if you apply yourself during spare moments. Elsewhere in this issue there ap pears an entry or “nomination” blank which when properly filled out and mailed or brought to th« campaign department of the Record will start you in the campaign with 5.000 votes. Additional votes are ob tained by securing new and renewal subscriptions. It makes no difference where a candidate resides so far as his or her chances of winning the biggest gifts are concerned. The distribu tion of prizes has been so arranged ! that each candidate will have an equal opportunity. The campaigh is a very short one and under no circumstances will | it be extended beyond the date ad- Iveit.' od. If you have been consider | . [ ing entering, by all means—do : t | toda. . At the end a committe of ! judges of high standing will count ! hi d tabulate the vote totals, and those who poll the greatest number of votes will win the prizes. Others j will receive 20 per cent of therr sales. i The Record is the home paper of this section and it already enjoys a large circulation all over this te” ritory—but it is expected to con tinue to build and add to its great family of readers until there s a Record in every home in Wake county and adjacent territory.

There are two way- of building cir culation. One is by the routine method of sending out solicitors and the other is by a big, libeial prize eamoaign. The Record chooses the latter because it enables us to get a large circulation more quickly (even though the cost is greater) and also to share with those who are willing to assist in the growth of this paper. The Record is an old established newspaper in this territory. This feature alone will make it a ready seller in every home, and candidates in The Record gift distribution will find it easy to secure subscriptons and renewals. Votes File Up Quickly People who have never taken part in a voting campaign of this mag nitude are unable to realize how rapidly their vote totals accumulate. Once the start is made they pile up ilke magic. Subscriptions will se cure thousands of votes in The Re cord campaign. And it is not ex pected that the candidates will de pend wholly upon their own efforts —friends will help them to gather subscriptions—and what a merry pastime it will be —with cash re wards at the end. There are plenty of prizes to go around among the hustlers—indeed, there is a prize for every active participant. The plan is a competi tive one, and will be conducted on a business basis. The bigger you* effort, the bigger, your prize.

YE FLAPDOODLE * By The Swashbuckler Some gentleman was t < lling mo that water was so dear in Zebulor that one neighbor couldn’t spare enough for wash day. Maybe the neighbor is saving it for a rain.s day. The Editor of The Zcbulon Re cord has so much money that* h« doesn’t know what to do with it. At any rate he is giving away six hut dred seventy-fivp dollars it about five more weeks. 1 think I'll sever relations will The Record long enough to enter the contest. Those CWA strikers in Wilminir ton certainly don’t mind biting the hand that feeds them. Still, the more you let a fool be a fool, the more a fool will be a fool. (Only, at times a certain adjective should be prefixed.) The local basketball games for Sam Narron’s benefit are fine for Sam. but they certainly do leave the players in one heck-uva-shape. h you doubt this, cast thy Thomas like eyes on Doris Horton of the Wakelon faculty. Who’s the little lady with the crooked smile, said to Ikj the bes* n< cker in Zebulon ? Ah, 1 nearly n glected the young lady who has been receiving letters from a coffin salesman for many moons. In fact, it has be< n so many moons that she has forgotten how he looks. He is one of these fellows who writes what comes to his mind instead of what he thinks. If what J understand is correct, he doesn’t have anything to think with. Out side’ of that, he’s a pretty good skate. It appears that a certain old lady was very, very rick. So sick, that her grand daughter, with whom she lived, became afraid that the death angel was approaching and sent for the doctor. Just before the doctor arrived, the daughter ran over to the neighbor’* house for something and the medico was just leaving when she returned. Going into the room where her grandmother was ill, she asked, “Do you feel better now?” “Yes,” replied the elderly one, “I don’t have appendicitis at all and it certainly was nice of the preacher to come to see me.” “But Grandma, that wasn’t the preacher, that was the doctor,” exclaimed the younger. “Well, well,” commented Grandma, “I thought he certainly did act familiar* to be a preacher.” (You’re right, it isn’t original.) Frankie Hall, Ralph House, Mar garet Bunn and Ernest Cook seem ed to be enjoying “She Stoops To Conquer,” from craning necks and wooden heads last FViday evening NCMBTR 37.
