3Hig Zrbulmt tßrrnrii VOLUME XIV. THIS, THAT, & THE OTHER MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS -r t* * It worried me Saturday to see berries from local patches for sale in the grocery stores. Not that the berries were not all right at least, they had been. But they had been picked and piled on top of each other until the picker must have gone all over the berry patch. Then those squashed berries at the bottom were in sad condition, juice running out and their color al ready fading. Some one had to use his hands to try measuring out quarts from the mass and placing them in trays. The result was piti able. No berry, especially a strawber ry, can stand being mashed one bit before being offered for sale. And there should never be more than a quart placed together no matter how many you have to pick. I mean, unless you are ready to do a real job of mashing them after they have been hulled. If you can’t get hold of berry boxes—they cost about 11-2 cents apiece—take pa per bags and fold them down from the tops until you have » kind of box. Or use all the pans you can find in the house. Anything to keep your berries from being mashed. They will pay you in looking bet ter, tasting better, and may bring & better price. THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE. JOHNSTON.

G. ithersby chairman, was most itable, notwithstanding dry weather. Os special beauty were the displays of roses, iris, and an nuals. An outdoor living-room won high praise. No list of winners is available, but the prizes given by merchants and business men of the town, were well-distributed and were appreciated by those to whom they were awarded. Mesdames Hobgood and Mattox of Wendell judged the entries. Featured In News and Observer The News and Observer for last Sunday carried pictures of the pre natal clinic that is being conduct ed in the office of Dr. G. S. Barbee with Mrs. Ida Hall, registered nurse, in attendance. The pictures are unusually clear for newsprint, and the accompanying article by Mrs. J. H. Highsmith explains and highly commends the work done in these clinics. Among a class of col ored mid-wives is Amanda Bunch, who is said to have cared for more maternity cases than any other nurse in these parts. Dr. A. C. Bulla directs the work for Wake County and only his aversion to much publicity has kept it from being more widely publicized.

Not a dif rent place, but the same place aned up and with fresh paint and w Venetian blinds to add to the nfort of workers as well as to appearance of the rooms.

Led by the class mascots, small Rob Bell and Alma Lou Pearce, the class, march down the aisle, as the congre gation sang ‘‘Lead On, O King Eternal”. This was followed by the singing of “Faith of Our Fath ers” and a trio by three girls of the senior class. Supt. Moser introduced Mr. Proctor as a man of vision, faith, and action, and as a personal friend for many years. In. his open ing remarks Mr. Proctor declared that Wakelon’s superintendent ia dearer to him than any man not of his immediate family, giving that as his main reason for accept ing the invitation to preach here. The text was taken from the eighth Psalm: What is man that thou art mindful of him? The sub ject was: What Am I Worth? De claring that a man’s worth is meas ured by his service to humanity, the speaker said that to man have been granted responsibilities and privileges not shared even by angels; that he is co-laborer with God.
