Have you been to one of those
demonstration dinners that men
representing various manufactur
ers of cooking ware have been
putting on in this section? If not
you’ve missed something.
First of all, I admire the clever
ness of the idea. After you “have
eaten the salt and the bread,” no
so mention the beef onions, pota
toes, carrots and apple sauce served
by the smiling gentleman you sim
ply cannot be so rude as not to
listen to the eloquent description
of the many and great advantages
to be derived from using their
utensils and to the numerous in
volved explanations of essential
elements of food preserved in some
magical manner in the process of
being cooked in those wonderful
** containers. Mere politeness re
quires fdling out a card with youi
name and address and the courte
ous reception of the salesman when
he calls to break gently to you the
news of the price of the entire
set. From then on you must, as
the man urged me to do, “let you:
conscience be your guide.” With
me it was not more a matter of
conscience than of purse. The iron
Dutch oven and skillet will have
to serve this branch of the Davis
family a while longer, health or
no health.
However, I do really want to try
that round cooker that is big
enough to use in canning. May
Corbett told me her mother has
one and I intend to go over there
and ask Mrs. Narron to let me try
it myself and see if I can get the
heat up to the proper temperature
for canning a few old hens that
seem to think they are ladies of
leisure out in our chicken yard. If ‘
it will tender-ize one I have in
mind I shall give the manufacturer
a free testimonial in this column
Until then I am from Missouri.
One funny thing happened at the 1
meal we were served by the cook- 1
ing man. My husband got mixed
on the carrots and enthusiastically i
praised the ones not cooked the
new way. You see, he doesn’t like :
carrots anyway, and the more fla
vor they lose the better they taste
to him.
If you ever want a game that
is screamingly funny try the one I
that I saw 7 played—and tried to
help play—last Monday night after
a class meeting at Mrs. Willard
White’s. Mrs. Corbett had us line
up in tw r o groups and gave each
group the outer part of a small
matchbox. The stunt was for the
leaders to fit these boxes cm their
noses and without touching the
hands to them transfer them to
the noses f those next in line.
These in turn passed the boxes in
the same manner to those next
them, the line finishing first win
ning. A dropped box or one touched
by the hands meant having to start
all over. It was the craziest per

Antone’s Sale
Have you been in Antone’s De
partment store lately ? Well, he is
putting on a big fall sale of mer
chandise and his prices are very
attractive. If you are going to
need anything in dry goods,
clothes, shoes and such see him
before you buy. And don’t fail to
read his full page advertisement
•in the back page of this copy of
the Record.
Potato Oddities
In our shop are two unusual po
tatoes. The first, brought in by
Herman Carter is about the size
of a child’s arm and is remarkable
chiefly for its length of about 20
inches.
The second potato was grown by-
Joe Knott and is coilod into the
almost perfect semblance of a
snake with brad erect and long,
slender tail emerging from the
coils. But for eyes and fangs being
absent we should hate to have it
on our desk.
We shall probably 7 eat the long
potato; but we should have to be
extra hungry to find the coiled
snaky one appetizing. It looks too
much alive.
Does Your School
Want $250.00?
If so, the Zebulon Record has a
plan by which you may get it.
There are 4000 families in the
territory served by this paper. Os
these 3,000 ought to have tiie Re
cord.
Now hire is how your school,
class or any organization may casi
ly earn from SIOO to SSOO. We will
publish a special issue for your
school with interesting facts about
it. We will send you enough copies
to supply every family in the
school district. You are to see that
these copies are sent to each home.
Then tell the parents that the
paper will give your school and
community news each week. Be
sides that there will be interesting
county, stale and national news.
But best of all a fine serial be
gins in this week’s Record. It will
run for several months. The story
itself is worth far more than the
cost of the paper.
You collect $1 for each subscrip
tion. Keep half of it, and send us
he balance. This is an opportuni
ty for your school, or class or so
ciety to “mop up” several hundred
good easily earned dollars.
Superintendents, get your teach
ers together, make your plans,
send for sample copies, send in
your school news, and make the
needed money, for your library,
band, athletics and other things
you’ve been wanting so long.

■ wrrf&mm
Found a le’ter in my mail box
one morning this week and its be
ing unusual in nature, thought you
, might like to he in on it.
Dear Mr. Swashhuck’er:
Since you seem (I said “seem”)
to be an authority on the subject of
“Wh :e and When to Neck” I am
writing you in the mutual interest
of my boy frfend and mp.
He is not of the bashful t ,7 pe,
nor is he hv nnv means a “hull
1 o’ the woods” hut every time we
go for a moonlight drive he refuses
to n-'f-k. That is, he f ids to re
spond to the natural impulses of
nuitu 1 adoration as I think he
should. This has been going on for
several months and we have been
parking on an average of twice a
week near a deserted house where
few r. v pie ever go.
I am not unattractive for I’ve
been judged good-looking by the
most popular of judges, public
1 opinion. Other hoys like to date
and caress me hut my one big mo
ment fails to reciprocate amorous
• and tactful hints and advances,
i What can I do, he just refuses
to pet, neck, love, and whatever
> else there may be that is to be
i done by two people in love. What,
if you can tell me am I to do?
Anxious
Dear Anxiety Plus:
Your case is one for the pschol
ogist. Not merely just another psy
chologist, hut one experienced in
such matters (like unto myself).
His labedo needs tmning out
ward. (Don’t get excited, that’s
just a technical term we psye’s
use).
You’ll have to start him off
slowly as an over-dose might be
just as exasperating as the case
is now.
Take him to New York and let
him rubberneck.
Then let him rubyourneck.
Try parking somewhere else.
I couldn’t even get romantic in the
vicinity of a haunted house.
Try under the shade of a darken
ed floor lamp.
Get some curves like Mae
West’s.
And don’t put up any danger
signs.
Maybe your lips say yes and your
eyes say onay.
That was wh it Mae’s trouble
was before I sc: t h«r to Holly
wood.
Practice stretching so that your
physique will show.
Ts this doesn’t work, then you’d
better send for the mortician. He’s
either dead, a pansy, or a female.
Hope you are the same.
