THIS, THAI
AND THE OTHER

Bjr MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS
For Linoleum and Imitations
Mrs. Mclnness told us that the
following compound is fine for pol
ishing and preserving linoleum:
Set one cupful of kerosene in hot
water until it is warm. Melt one
half pound of parrafine and mix
with kerosene. Apply a little of it
to linoleum while hot and when it
cools polish well. Be careful to use
only a very small amount, as e
thick coating is not desired.
You Know Why
Marbles and kites assure us that
this is springtime, but for once
small boys have not worried thei
mothers with pleas for going bare
foot before the middle of March.
Whose Are They?
Have you ever seen as many
stray dogs as are roaming the
streets and roads these days ? They
trot singly or in groups, some aim
lessly and some with an air of hav
ing a definite destination. Some
seem friendly, some are indifferent
and some seem surly and suspici
eious. They snoop around back
doors, often casting a carefully
careless eye toward the chicken
yard —and you are fortunate if you
do not find empty nests or a pile of
shells some evening instead of eggs
There is an occasional collie tha*
looks half-ashamed of the company
he is in; a speckled bird dog with
a bored air; some hungry looking
hounds, a few of which always ap
pear to be hurrying back to theii
families; a number of mongrels
large and small, all hungry.
I wonder if owners pay taxes on
these animals; and, if so why.
The serious-minded son came at
me last Saturday with one of those
mental tests that so many folks
believe in. He asked me to name a
color and an animal and to say
what came into my mind when he
said money. I said green, cow and
debt, and that proved that I have a
very low grade of intelligence if I
am not actually a moron.
I should, it seems, have said red.
horse and bank, which would have
proved that I am a normal person
Such a simple test. Great are psy
chology and psychiatry, but there
are times when I think that still
gTeater are those who put their
trust in the Lord and go on doing
their best.
The program of the W. M. U. at
Rocky Mount on Wednesday of last
week was good; but nothing was
more enjoyable than the singing by
the Scotland Neck choir just after
the recess for lunch. They wore
vestments, which to my mind, al
ways sets singers apart and gives
them an impersonal dignity. They
were directed by a tall, slender wo'
man whose black hair was smooth
as satin and who made such grace
ful restures that it was a joy to
wat h her.
They gave one number with piano
accompaniment, and after that they
just sang. Much of it was directly
from the Bible and they sang as if
they believed it. .
I didn’t know a member of the
choir except Aubrey Tilley, who
used to teach here in high school,
and I had no chance to speak to
him. However, it added to the plea
sure of the day to tee him and to
hear him.

DR. JAMES A. CAMPBELL, FOUNDER-PRESIDENT OF CAMPBELL COLLEGE
FIRST COUNT OF VOTES TO
BE PUBLISHED NEXT WEEK
WILL SHOW STANDING OF EVERY CANDIDATE—WORKERS IN
ZEBULON RECORD CAMPAIGN. SHOULD MAKE EVERY EF
FORT TO SECURE EVERY POSSIBLE SUBSCRIPTION IN OR
DER TO MAKE GOOD SHOWING IN FIRST REPORT—SUB
SCRIPTIONS MUST BE TURNED IN WEDNESDAY FOR THIS
SCORE—LIST OF NOMINATIONS PRINTED TODAY
A Live-Wire Could Start Now
And Lead In The First Count
MORE WORKERS NEEDED
Candidates in The Zebulon Rec
ord’s gift distribution campaign
should make every effort to get as
many subscriptions as possible in
by Wednesday in order to make a
good showing in the first published
report, which will be made in the
next issue of the Record.
Today, it appears—the first list
of nominations. Names of nomi
nees received until yesterday, to
gether with their nomination vote
of 5,000 are printed on this page
for candidates entered in the Zeb
jlon Record’s every-candidate-wins
something all cash prize campaign.
This list published today MUST
not be misunderstood. The names
printed are only nominations. The
list serves only to show who is en
tered. It does not indicate the ac
tive candidates.
If your nomination blank has
been sent and does not appear in
the list, kindly notify the campaign
manager immediately. Nomina
tions are not closed. In fact, today
there are more prizes than there
are active candidates. Opportunity
without a handicap is here today
for new entries who will “carry on.’
And the same holds true for the
candidates already entered.
MEANS WORK TO WIN
Candidates who will not produce
subscriptions cannot hope to win.
The more subscriptions you produce
the more votes you earn. Sim
ple nomination of a candidate does
not mean anything. The nomina
tion is but the first step—the start
ing point. Anyone content to rest
after nomination cannot get far
in this race. Active work, honest
effort, constant attention to busi
ness in hand —that alone can get
votes. And votes WIN. And sub
scriptions mean votes.
With so many candidates entered
and so many of those not yet at
least manifesting any life or activ
ity, the opportunity is here for
some live workers to enter and
“carry on” to victory.
In fact, the more candidates en
tered the less votes it will take to
win. If two candidates are run
ning for office they must have ali
the votes between them. The win
ner must have a majority—over
i half of all the votes cast. But if
five candidates seek the sam* 1 office
i the winner only needs more vote- ;
I than the next highest candidate.
Then, too, in this campaign every
candidate wins something. There
is the SSOO, SIOO. SSO, ard $25 cash
prizes. And remember, too, the
cash commission of 20 per cent on
all subscriptions paid to all active
non-prize-winning participants. In
an election for office but one can
didate wins. In this election every
(andidate wins—YOU WIN. You
who are in, get busy, work, carry
on; you who are still “thinking
about it” get in. Go after ’em
and win.
Clip or tear out the nomination
blank in today’s Zebulon Record,
bring it or send it to the Zebulon
Record office. Then spend the next
five weeks more profitably than
any other few weeks of your life
were ever spent before. Go in and
win.
PRINT VOTE FRIDAY
The r. *xt issue of the Zebulon
Record will contain the first credit
srore for those who have accepted
the Free Gift Distribution offer.
Subscriptions count for more votes
now than when the campaign clos
es. These intervening days should
be the biggest vote making days of
the campaign.
It behooves every candidate to
get busy. No candidate can afford
to allow his or her “ears to be
knocked down.” You cannot afford
to make snap judgment. If there
is anything you do not understand
make it your business to find out
at the campaign office.
Thos#*.of you who are expecting
to get busy, who intend' to start
going after subscriptions in a big
way next week, will do well to ad
vance your itinerary a few days; it
will pay big. It means the differ
ence between winning your choice
of prizes or being content with one
of lesser value. It is up to you.
It is you who must work out your
own salvation. It is you who car
enhance your voting strength, and
you alone.
Are you going to let others walk
NUMBER 39.
! YE FLAPDOODLE
By The
Swashbuckler
This week’s bit of scandal will
probably be like the writer. Far
fetched. No one has done anything
out of the way with these few ex
ceptions—
The little blonde who goes to
Wakelon and with James O’neal
was recently seen with another man
from the adjacent city. It seems
hat since she couldn’t marry for
money, she’s doin’ her damdest to
forgive and forget in someone else’s
arms. But ye gods, what arms.

would be a mad scramble for the
iow-lands. Reminds me of last sum
mer when a certain young lady,
(now married to a “dam-yankee”)
was very abruptly driven from the
water by a pair of auto lights. In
making her get-away, she left a
pair of her sister’s pants behind.
They tell me that Frank Wiggs
should know something about this—
He was one of those who did the
catching—or vice versa
If I am to believe my ears, Mary
Frances Cockrell’s Grip has fallen
from his horse in the hearts of his
countrymen. They tell me that he
is above the average in somethings
and won’t enter unless he can win.
Nothing personal in this only I was

but a little effort right now?
Candidates must realize that
work now will produce subscrip

when the campaign closes. This
certainly should spur them to ac
