®he Zrbulmt Slernrit VOLUME 10 11 HIS, THAI ! I AND THE OTHER! { i I By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS I 4* 4* *v ** '***i**«’ «j» »j* *j* *•* *i* •5* 4* •!* *l* *J* *»* *«* *J* *J* •** \ Did you ever take the lead ii any project? And did you eve put it across without feeling a times that nobody but you wa really interested or cared ho\ much you had to do? If so, yoi are a wonder, or your helper were. Elijah under his junipe tree was not a patch on some o us when we start bewailing th. loneliness of our positions as lead ers. It must be that one who di rects has to be ahead of the res and consequently is forced to seen alone; and too, we just naturall. prefer to let somebody else should er all they can carry before tab ing on any of the load ourselves though it may be ours as much at anyone’s. The above holds true in any or ganization > religious, civic or fra ternal. I might say social, bu having never belonged to a pure ly social organization, I don’t kno\ enough about them to make : statement. And it is a peculia. fact that no matter how much in terested we are, if some one els is in the lead we have a feelin; that our responsibility is less tha his or hers. This opinion may b partly justifiable, but we shoult be careful not to lean too har. upon it. It is weakened from lon* and hard usage and was neve very strong. Did you ever become perfectl. furious over something which yo. know you couldn’t help ? Thei you can sympathize with the wa.' I felt last week when told tha relief for transients in a nearb city provided ninety cents a wee! for each man to buy tobacco, was also told that a court w-a furnished free for these men t use for pitching horse-shoes an such games, and that they refusei to sand the court unless they wer paid for it at the rate of forty five cents an hour. Now there are only a very fe\ instances in my whole life whe I have made as much as forty five cents an hour. The greate part of my work as teacher in ou schools was done when salarie were below' the fifty dollar level and included hours of work out side the classroom. I have don little else that brought in any cash but have been busy many hour every day. And I belong to the great clas: that fought the depression will hard work and more of it. withou calling on any agency for any re lief. That's why it irritates m< so when I hear of funds from gov ernment sources going to provid< non-essentials, and of those wh< refuse to work unless they ar promised high w’ages. It wouh be bad enough if the money givei away were not raised by taxin the ones who have little as wel as those who have much. There’s something mightily wrong THE FOUR-COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE. JOHNSTON, N ASH AND FRANKLIN. ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, Young Men’s Club Six young business men of Zeb-1 or. have rented the home former s' occupied by O. R. Cockrell and avt furnished it up in first class ape. They have almost every onverience of the modern home tich as radio, frigidaire. laundry rd various other conveniences and ver. luxuries found in bettei '"Hies. And things are k-pt spick nd span.

A. Teel, 1. C. Pharr eo. D. Tharrington and Robt : wyer. Mr. Sawyer seems to he ■aster of ceremonies and 1 pre me Mr. Tharrington keeps order, l ese young men who compose his club want it positively under lood that it is not a bachelor üb. that they can sew on buttons d have other good qualities tc t them for the marriage estate. Vnd, we might add that the editoi :>ok dinner with the “boys” lately nd somebody is a good cook it hat home.

Ninety cents a weel for something not needed anc forty-five cents an hour to fix playground for one’s self to pla. »n may be too insignificant for bis folks to notice; but they loon large to one in my financial con dition. And there are some wh have less of this world’s goods tha even I. At time* it seems to m that there is a premium put oi shiftlessness and that a penal tv is attatched to trying to be self supporting and to holding on t< one’s sglf-respect. 0 " Perhaps I need a tonic.

School Exhibits At State Fair The agricultural classes of foui Wake county schools have very at ractive exhibits at the State Fail j The Green Hope exhibit, ar-j anged by Agricultural Teacher Brown and hoys of his class deals itli the problem of soil erosion. A urge placard at the back admon ishes farmers to Stop Soil Erosion ■nd streamers running thence to* parts of tin* exhibit show how to lo this by crop rotation, controlling lilies and terracing. Little patch es of tobacco, wheat, lespedeza and orn show proper rotation of crops. Miniature models of log dams draw and brush dams chow how o stop gullies, while an object, lesson is given in proper terracing aid strip cropping of hillsides. The Apex exhibit arranged by Teacher Triplett and his class hows a farm home before and af er simple improvements. At the ’eft is a small model house and farm yard, unpainted, no lawn grass or shrubbery. Beside it is the ame house neatly painted white with green blinds, while the yard ms been sown to lawn grass hrubbery has been put out and a •omplete transformation of the nremises achieved. A placard ad vises that the total cost of all hose improvements. including hrubbery, is only $471.64. The Wak lon exhibit, Teacher Massey and his class demonstrates the difference between balanced and unbalanced farming. On one side i pair of balance scales is all lop ided, the end holding the “supply” of cotton and tobacco being so much heavier than the end holding “demand.” Grouped about the cab are a few scrawny potatoes and other inferior produce. On the >ther side a pair of balance scales with supply and demand of the money crops balanced and around them a fine assortment of nearly very kind of produce, fruit, feed nd food crops that can be grown ri this section. The Millbrook display, arranged by Teacher McLeod and his class, j lemonstrates the convenience and •conomy of electrification of the farm. A nifty farm bungalow, a' modern dairy barn and poultry' j bouses, glowing with light, and unrounded by modern farm ma-l j ehinery, trucks and tractors, proves that there is no longer any need ! for the discomfort of farm life. These exhibits are all well planned and executed with crafts •t.iiii hip and skid. The lessons they teach are valuable riot only to the boys who helped to plan them, but to all who visit ihe fair The only individual farm exhibit from Wake county is that of Road ide Farm, owned by Mr. anil Mrs B. B Britt of St. Mary’s township It is a most attractive demonstra tion of the profit to be had fron diversified farming and modern improvements on the farm. The exhibit was awarded third prizr among farm displays. CARDINALS WIN The St Louis cardinals won the baseball championship of the world this week when they defeated the Detroit Tigers. Dizzy Dean sea tuied a.? pitcher for the winning team. NUMBER 15 VailS I’ve changed my mind thrice and thrice about writing this column this week and while in the mood (proper) “my silver tipped quill” (that phrase was stolen from the Nash County News) flys over the paper, et cetera. One great question pops into mind as I sit and think, or something. Why does Sa-lu y Williams call Harold Ferebee “Pop l»a ? 12:00 A. M. Marthy Bully can’t seen to get herself percolatin’ when dated by gents other lhan Les. At any rate a Wendell brute has jus’ about dis ontimnd his puisuit of the young ady’s ime. His little Dooruthy may hash her tears each night now and console herself with the fact that she has one less competitor. Seems t’ me that the young lady was in love with a tall farmer some .noons ago until he turned her up, or she turned him down, when he cotched her in the act of riding with Sir Curt. The old triangle, eternal, and otherwise seems ever o continue to make itself known . veil unto the ends of the earth. Two Belles The scope of Cupid’s arrows has narrowed down in the Newell fami ly. At any rate, he seems to have aken a pot shot at the one whose main ini.ial is Lucy. Gawge moons around all day waiting for night to fall. Garfle! By the grapevine comes news that a man about town has sudden ly become a one-man-woman. At my rate he is that way about one of the teachers who has been in Wakelon’s grammar school for sev ral moons. They tell me he even loves her to her face. E-magine! , Fragile Brother Pressing Club Worth Hinton, Jr., Esq., informed me that he thought he ought to get a press I pass along with us newspapermen. Kawncey thot! Mm-m-m-m Well, toddle out your tootsies and drag them over to see the month of ' Mae in Bull of the 90ties. r i hey te l | me that the manager of the Thea er has been using one roll of it at I I is feet these last few cool nights. I suppose he’ll drape the whole nine roe s about the house and save his <al for ai other winter s’mtime. Eire At Fair The east wing of the main ex hibition building at the State Fail burned early Wednesday morning the blaze being discovered soon as ter twelve o’clock. Little dam age was done to other buildings Exhibits belonging to state de partments of forestry and vocation al agriculture were.destroyed. bu‘ none was lost by private exhibit ors. I he extent of the damage is not yet bnown. Director Chambliss aid the Fair will go on as sched uled. Like pearfs that form a rosary, So lie in shining rows for me, Strung on a golden thread of Time. Ihe precious hours I know with thee.—lnnsly.
