Then lift off the plate and clean under the place it fitted. You will proba bly find that lint has collected un der this plate and in the bobbin case. Use a fine crochet hook to remove it if it does not come out easily. Sometimes short ends of thread bind the lint and the move ment of the shuttle packs it all in to tight, tiny wads that make pe dalling much harder and will cause you to think your machine is out of order. I knew a man who took his wife’s machine all to pieces looking for the trouble when it was only the lint that caused it re fuse to turn properly. A two-year-old was being taken for a ride and kept asking his mo ther, “Where we going?” Finally she asked him if there was any place he wanted to go, saying that if so, she would take him. He very eagerly replied, “Yes, please. Up a ’moke ’tack.” He was perfectly sin cere, but that usually truthful mo ther failed to keep her promise. Last Friday morning I was out in the garden picking greens for dinner. This year we have a patch that is a mixture of turnips, kale, tendergreen and radishes. The re cent rains have done it a world of good and the leaves lift themselves high. But as I worked I kept find ing plants around which were tightly twined those leafless yel low vines that we used to call love vines and with which we would try our fortunes. A sprig of the vine was placed upon a plant and, if it grew, your sweetheart loved you. And he usually did, or at least the stuff grew. But I have learned that it would grow regardless of the state of one’s affections, and that a better name for it is strange vine, unless one prefers to call it dodder. Dodder is probably one of the greatest pests known. Beginning as a real plant, it finds another plant to lean on, and then gets too lazy to use its own roots to bring it nourishment from the soil, but sucks the pre-digested sap from its host This results in the rapid growth of the dodder, but also in the death of the plant that fed it. After strangling one plant the gay, worthless, yellow vine goes bright ly to take possesion of another, generously strowing seed during the summer. I pulled up a number of plants that were beginning to turn pale and threw them to the chickens though they should have been burn ed. And I imagined how those young salad greens felt flattered when first the love-vine approach ed for entertainment. How gentle was the first twining of the golden thread around a slender stem; how the tendergreen rejoiced when the visitor throve and how T helpless it THE FOUR-COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE. JOHNSTON, N ASH AND FRANKLIN. ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JUNE FIRST, 1934 Memorial For Dr. Campbell Buie’s Creek, May 25.—Follow ing the alumni luncheon yesterday the trustees of Campbell College met in the library. Professor B. P. Marshbanks, the new dean of the college, was elected secretary and treasurer of the board succeeding the late Dr. James A. Campbell. The board discussed the outlook for the college under the new ad ministration, and a number stated that they were very much gratified at the attitude of the public toward the conduct of affairs at Campbell. A committee was appointed to draw up resolutions of sympathy to be sent to the family of J. Mc- Kay Byrd and the same placed on the minutes of the board. Mr. Byrd, who died recently was a member of the board. A motion was made and carried to the effect that the board of trustees endorse establishment of an endowment memorial to be established in honor of the late president, Dr. James A. Campbell. Machinery sufficient* for starting a drive for an endowment was set up, but no definite time for this was decided upon. Much Rioting In San Francisco San Francisco, May 28. —Fierce riots broke out here on the water front and also at San Diego late today. Shippers and longshoremen seem to have reached a deadlock after the walk-out 19 days ago. French Flyers Cross Atlantic New York, May 28.—Two French flyers have just crossed the Atlan tic from Paris in 38 hours. Their goal was California, but wing trouble caused them to land here. They had previously crossed from America to France. Dr. Clausen At Meredith College Raleigh—Dr. B. C. Clausen of Pittsburg delivered his fifth com mencement address at Meredith College Monday. He has been invit ed each year since his first address to retur n to Meredith commence ment and has done so each year that he could accept. He is an un usually fine speaker. Prisoners Escape Sherman, Texas.—Three prison ers escaped from jail here Sunday. They slugged the jailor, Comman deered one car after another, the first being stolen from picnickers. They made their way into central Oklahoma. was when the strangling hold proved to be draining its strength and when it realized there was no escape. And I felt inclined to moralize over it; but there is little use. Let him that hath eyes see what the dodder did to the tendergreen. -il For House ||| • ■-wl® vgfiM ‘ jn Hgjjg Clarence E. Mitchell Saturday’s Primary This week all over North Carolina Democrats will go to the polls to decide among themselves who will be the candidates of the party in the elections this fall. In such a contest good Democrats, who love their party, will wish that the pri mary be so conducted that every aspirant for nomination, whether he wins or loses, will have no prop er complaint of the fairness of the election. The Democrat, indeed, who would improperly affect the returns of the will of the Democrats of the State would be a far greater enemy of the party than any Republican could ever be. The good Democrat wishes above all else a fair and honest choice of the party’s stand ard bearers. This is said not because of any reports that there are men who contemplate any distortion of the will of the State’s Democracy in great or small contests on Satur day. It is said because it cannot be too often stressed that demo cracy fails to be democracy when there ceases to be a true expres sion of the people’s will. In every primary every Democrat should re gard himself as guardian of his party’s honor to so conduct himself and to insist that others so conduct themselves that all Democrats will come from the contest satisfied with the result and ready, as Dem ocrats should always be, to give an enthusiastic support to the nom inees wdiom they know are the choice of the great body of the State’s great Democracy. —News and Observer.

NUMBER 49 YE FLAPDOODLE m s 1 * By Th« Swashbuckler People who ordinarily are very boring with their talk about the “weather” may become popular ov ernight simply by predicting what turn it will take next. I Didn't Know It Was Loaded A little lady came in last Thurs day night and wished a reason for my not publishing the names of interesting people I write about. When I asked what would hap pen if I were to state that she and a certain young man (now removed from Zebulon) were back of the school house with a pint of giggle gurgle in a rather compromising state of mind, she was quite Willing for me to continue writing with only an occasional initial for iden tification. Pardon Me Madam. Is That Yours? A life insuanee saleman was in the other day attempting (futilely) to interest men i n more financial obligations. In the course of his super sales talk, he told about a gentleman who vowed he would take out no insurance so that when he died no scalawag would’ be mar rying his wife for her money, the gentleman of the company com mented, “O’ K., brother, but the scalawag would certainly be hard up to marry a widow with ten children for a thousand dollars.” Tsk! Tsk! A Aw Nertz To You'. Money is becoming a mere in s'gnificant matter nowadays. The government speaks of spending a mere ten billion for this, or bo many quadrillion to improve the stadium at Zilchingto n College, or nine octillion for the Allied Homes for Blind Mice as though the lucre grew on trees. After all, it’s easy to spend money. Eespecialiy when you neither have to earn Yior pay" it back. But brother, it doesn’t! . take a prophet to foresee the taxes you and I and John Doe will bo paying on the gate post next year. Astronomers say that the Sun weighs 330,000 times as much as the Earth, and that the -dar, Be telgeuse weighs 1,000,000 times as much as the Sun. I can’t see that that raises the pro-ratio of the number of grains of sand in a spoonful of spinach. So what? The wife reminds me of the gal who recently went horseback rid ing, and upon returning, was asked how she liked the ride. “Oh, pretty well, only I feel like coffee.” “Coffee?” questioned the ques tioner, “How’s that?” “Oh,” replied the lass, “You know the kind, ‘Chafe and Sun burn’.”
