DAVIS * My daughter told me that she has found it a good plan to soak shredded coeoanut in sweet milk heated almost to boil ng before us ing the coeoanut for cake-filling, pies, or candy. She says it is hard to distinguish from the freshly grated after being soaked this way, and that it absorbs a suprising a mount of milk. One day last week I heard a lady wondering why it is so much more trouble to cook for seven than for six. She said that the extra work is all out of proportion to the ex pense and she didn’t know why, It is probably because of the pie. You see. practically anybody can cut a pie into six fairly equal por tions; but it takes-a knowledge of geometry and almost the use of calipers to divide one into seven parts that will not look so differ ent as to suggest partiality. And seems no use to bake another pie for that one more slice. It might be best to bake two small pies and cut them into fourths—but then there’s an extra slice. Oh, well, maybe the lady keeps a cook. Any way my mind has been bothered ever since I heard her plaint. In this state there is a town which prides itself upon its age and its aristocracy. And in that tow n each night when the weather is pretty mothers go out on their front porches and call home their offspring, who are supposed to be playinj? within hearing distance. “Tho-o-o-mas,” you can hear them, “Cha-a-r-rles, Da—a —a —vid.” Not only at twilight, but at intervals during the day mothers go out and begin calling. Then every other mo ther who hears is bound in neigh borliness to go out and tell the one calling where she last saw the child wanted at that time. It is all quite nice and friendly, but to me it seems that there is a bit of inconsistency in those gentle-mannered, cultured ladies standing on their porches yelling at the tops of their lungs. Last Sunday’s lesson reminded me of years ago when I was a girl at boarding school. On an oc casion our society presented a pro gram, one feature of which was the dramatized parable of the Ten Virgins. I happened to be the lead er of the wise ones, but before the scene was over I had an idea the foolish ones were for once at least wiser than we. We all wore Mother Hubbard creations of cheesecloth and had our hair flowing which was considerably more of a flow than could be arranged for with present day styles. And we all car ried lamps, five of which were,of course, empty ants five filled with oil. That these lamps were utterly unlike those carried by the origi al virgins troubled us not at all. But it did trouble me that mine, which held at least a quart of kero sene and m addition a shining glass chimney, had to be held high over my head all the time we were on the stage. My arm got so numb that I could hardly tell THE FOUR-COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN. ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MAY THE 25th, 1934. Officers Plan For State Farm Meet Decision to change the old State Farmers’ and Farm Womens’ con vention into a Farm and Home Week was made at a meeting of officials of the convention held at i Slate College last week. Farm and Home Week will be observed July 31 to August 4 and the central theme for discussion will be new agricultural and rural life programs as a result of the present governmental activity. A number of national figures will be invited to address the general ses sions of the meeting and special at tention will be devoted to contin ; uous demonstrations and exhibits. All farmers and farm women’s organizations in North Carolina are invited to hold their annual gatherings at the College during the week and to take part in the various sessions. The annual shor t course for farm women will be held as usual under the direction of Miss I Ruth Current, and the State Fed- I eration of Home Demonsration j Clubs will meet on Thursday, Aug | ust 2. Charles A. Sheffield, general sec j retary of Farm and Home Week, says that a number of prominent speakers from Washington will be invited. Among them will be Un der-secretary of Agriculture Tug well; H. R. Tollej , in charge of land planning for the AAA; Senator Bankhead of Alabama, author of the Bankhead Act, and, probably Miss Perkins, the secretary of La bor. A. E. Morgan of the Tennes see Valley Authority, Miss Martha Berry of the Berry Schools, and Miss Maude Wallace, state home demonstration agent in Virginia, are among others to be invited. The college is arranging for tours to be conducted to nearby points of interest and for exhibits to be increased this year. A number of demonstrations will be given on the campus and in the laboratory rooms. W. Kerr Scott of Haw River will preside at the sessions for the men and Mrs. Gordon Reid of Union Mills, Rutherford county, at the sessions for the women. General Notice The State Attorney has ruled that in the coming primary there will be no special ticket markers named but in case any voter de-. sires help he will have the privi lege of calling on any outside help he wishes. Tn the past special Ticket Mark ers have been named but the prac tice is being altered this year Tn or der that the voter may ask anyone of his own choice to aid him in the marking of his ticket. The sweetest things are in tiny < ekages. whether my hand still grasped the lamp. And we sang Tennyson’s "Late, Late, So Late” in a sort of antiphonal. After thirty-five years I am surprised that eve n clearer than the memory of my aching arm is that of the voices pleading “O, let us in!” and our reply, “Too late! Too late! Ye cannot enter now.” Which may mean that inadequate stage properties and amateur act ing may not prevent truth’s mak ing an impression on young minds. Negro Killed Monday night was school closing at the colored school at Zebulon. The colored people never fail to attend such occasions and they go I out 'n their Sunday fixings look ing their finest. Maybe they are that much like white folks. Among all the rest of the folks were Bud die Goodson, Buddie Holder and Josh Richardson. Now all were boys of families with a history Buddie Goodson’s father died in the electric chair and he h'mself has spent a good portion of his young career on the roads. One colored man said of Holder: ‘ ‘He wuz al lers into something or other, and wuz no good ’bout anything much.” Buddie Richardson is the so n of the man who shot Deputy Massey and was in turn killed by the younger Massey. But to the story; The boys were among t hose present at the school closing, hut were outside instead of within. The two Buddies open ed the argument. One accused the other of taking a woman’s pocket book and he in turn denied and ac cused the other. Josh, being sorter crony with Buddie Holder entered the argument, which grew fast and j furious. Richardson grabbed Good | son, Holder pulled his 38 and aimed at the back of the scuffling Good son. Today, Buddie Holder and Josh Richardson are in jail in Raleigh, Buddie Goodson is dead. Tn the afternoon Monday, Buddie Goodson was seen out in a new suit of clothes. Someone remarked about how fine he looked in them new clothes. He said them clothes was too good to be killed in, he was going right home and pull them clothes off and save them to be buried in. He said Buddie Hold er was going to kill him that night. And so it came to pass. Miss Phillips Editor Miss Wilma Phillips, of Zebulon, has been elected editor-in-chief of Creek Pebbles, Campbell College paper, for next year. Miss Phillips attended Bunn High Scrool and is said to have been chosen for the position because of her excellent work in English. She has just com j pleted her first year of college I work at Campbell.

The report asserts that small businesses are being put to many hardships and that the I tendency is to drive them out of ' business, allowing a monopoly hv : large companies. Gen. Johnson denies this, saying the report was grouded in prejudice. In Praise of Cooley >! The editor of this paper has re ceived a letter written by C. V. (Legs) Faulkner, of Bailey, urging young voters to cast their ballots for Harold Cooley for congressman from the fourth district. Lack of space forbids publishing the whole article. We give the substance be i low. The writer deplores the opera-j tion of political machinery' which would place in office a son as sue- [ cessor to an honored father, be- j lieving that such a course would) be discouraging to able young irmn , over the state who might become i active in the ranks of the Demo cratic party; and asserts that toy serve one’s country is more impor-j tant than to serve a machine. Mr. Faulkner describes Mr. Cool ey as being a fine citizen, an able: lawyer, a brilliant orator, the pos- j. sessor of a keen intellect with a s( finely developed social conscience,! a man who will make his own de cisions—which, Mr. Faulkner be lieves, will always be for the best ' advantage to the greatest number 1 of people. H believes that Mr. ' Cooly’s mentality, courage and abil- i ity will get a hearing in congress and benefit the district and state.

Sandwiched between l > kinds of trees in a nice Chevrolet could bo seen one n'ght last week one of the town’s “nicer” young ladies be ing pawed and slobbered over by an out-of-town gent. What amuses me, is the fact that the young lady is very aloof so far as our local he roes are concerned, and vet—she evidently has picked the >cum of another city. Not only a personal opinion but that of others, too. Pardon My Glove Incidentally. I wondering if our candidates for the various end sun dry public offices are paying the state any tax on those ilacards nailed up on trees, barns, and In dividual posts along the h'jhways. After all, a sign is a sign, whether it says: “Pootzer sells chea ier”, or “Vote for Zilchington”. > robably another slip of those now in off ce. Maybe they’re afraid they’ll lose their political plums if they render an audition on “squawking”. No B. o. Here’s something for you to paste in your hat and re d from now until June 2. The fell ws you vote for on the second, will be the ones who “are doing nothing in the legislature” next term. Just ui case your favorite horse - >es nto* harness, don’t c quawk if he won’t pull.

Your Slip's Showing Full moons are coming (just around the calendar) and with them many a young lady will yield her lips to the sap of her dreams. The poor fool will think the gigs she sinks into him are mere catch ing ways—and how! At any rate a certain young lady seems to he taking a Wendell gentleman for the well-known sleigh ride—so fai as his hank roll is concerned, it is fast joining the great minority.
