From the Smithfield Herald,
Kenly item:
“Rev Theo. B. Davis of Zebulon
is spending this week in town with
relatives and attending the union
revival.”
If that is true, I’m wondering
who the man was who came in ev
ery night last week just about the
time 1 was too sleepy to stay
awake any longer.
And the “relative” part puzzles
me, too. I've decided that impres
sion was made by his habit of call
ing so many folks “brother” and
“sister”. One who didn’t know
would just naturally conclude he
was kin to the whole community.
The final touch is the fact that ‘The
Rev. Theo. B. Davis of Zebulon”
has been pastor of the Baptist
church at Kenly for some time.
Joking aside, it is comforting to
find that other papers get thin
mixed as badly as ours, and I thor
oughly enjoyed that item.
If you want to stretch out your
whipped cream use the white of
an egg with it.
Beat it just as usual, adding a
pinch of salt, and putting in the
egg at the beginning. You’ll not be
able to tell the difference unless
you are watching for it except that
the egg makes it less greasy. In
these shortcake-y days this may
help matters in an emergency.
Hot Milk Cake
For months at a time I don’t
think about this recipe, but when
berries are inseason or when butter
is “sca’ce”, it is a good one to re
member. I think it has been printed
in this column before, but it has
been requested again, so here it is:
Beat two eggs light and add one
cup of sugar, beating as it is pour
ed in. Sift one cup of plain flour
with one teaspoon baking powder
and a pinch of salt. Beat this into
the egg and sugar mixture. Put one
half cup sweet milk in a saucepan
with two teaspoonfuls butter and
bring this to a boil, then pour in
over th e thick batter you have
made, beating it well. Flavor as
desired and bake it in two layer
cake tins or one pan about nine
inches square. It is better than
most sponge cakes and is fine for
layer cakes that have a soft filling.
Be sure to use it while fresh. It is
especially god cut in squares and
cover' 1 with crushed berries or
sliceu peaches and whipped cream
for real company dessert.
Os course you’d double the recipe
if you serve more than eight plates.
And be sure your oven is not too
hot when you bake it.
The new shades of yellowish-tan
in summer hose make one long ac
customed to gray feel as if die had
suddenly changed from a Brahma
hen to a Rhode Island Red.
"There is no frigate like a book
To bear us lands away.”
Discipline is a hard lesson to learn
All of us would rather be free. We
want to do what we want to. That’s
a good scheme on a vacation, but
it’s a hard program for living.

Registration Note
It is important that all persons
in Wake County desiring to vote
in primaries or elections register I
during the next two weeks. In order
to fulfill the regulations prescribed
by law everyone who desires to re
gister must gpeer in person before
those duly qualified to compile the
lists. It is not according to law for
a husband to have enrolled the
name of his wife who did not find
it convenient to leave home that
day; sh e herself must be present
when her name is written down.
Rigid compliance with this require
ment will do away with any chance
of being accused of fraud in this
respect.

NUMBER 45
SEEN & HEARD
CONCLUDED AT THE
CEMETERY
Rev. Mr. Allen, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church in Kenly told
us this one the other day: A min
ister was marrying a doctor. He
asked him and the bride to join
hands. In taking her hand he felt
her pulse. The racing pulse caused
him to lapse into his profession and
he said, “Let me see your tongue.”
Hearing these w r ords the preach
er imagined himself not only in the
sick room and in the presence cf
death but at a funeral. He closed
the service with these words, “This
service will be concluded at the
cemetery.”
FELLOW SUFFERERS,
SYMPATHIZE
Did you ever buy anything against
your wife’s judment or w T ord? And
later everything- that happened in
connection with it was directly at
tributed to that one act of yours?
For instance: Did you trade in your
old car for a new- one against her
will? And then if two years later
you punctured a new tire or some
one ran into you and smashed a
fender, did she say “Oh, that car!”?
Well, let’s shake, brother. We both
know how it is.
New Style
Refrigeration
At J. A. Kemp and Son Store
they have a new- kind of refrigera
tor. It uses no no ice,
but uses kerosene to make the cold
that keeps the food.
These refrigerators have been
thoroughly tested in many sections
of our country. For those who find
it difficult to secure ice of w r ho have
no electricity, they should offer the
complete solution of the refrigera
ting problem.
Even if you don’t buy, do as we
have already heard some say they
mean to do, and visit Kemp’s store
to inspect the SUPERFEX.
Ptomaine Poison
Five Affected
On last Saturday afternoon Dr.
C. E. Flowers was called into the
country in the Hopkins Chapel sec
tion, wehere he found five persons
of the household of Eugene Mitch
ell acutely iil. They were all suffer
ing from ptomaine poison, caused
by eating fish and drinking butter
milk at the same meal. Fortunately
all the cases responded to treat
ment and no permanent results are
expected from their sickness.
ITALY’S DELEGATE LEAVES
Italy’s delegate to the League of
Nations left the assemblage on
Monday when the representative
of Ethiopia was invited to a place
with the rest. The Italian declared
there is now no Ethiopia, and that
its only government is from Italy.
Mother, may I go hear a speech?
O, yes, my darling daughter;
Why you may listen all you pleaee;
But vote just like you oughter.
SUFFERERS,
