DAVIS Having through hurry and care lessness appeared on the street with certain items of clothing not properly arranged, and having thereby been the means of afford ing much wholly excusable merri ment, I was somewhat shocked to find that the resultant embarrass, ment and humiliation were probab ly as keen as would have been felt had I been caught fibbing, cheat ing, or otherwise engaged in actual wrong-doing. Why was that? Perhaps it was because the sin ner can have ever in mind ultimate repentance and forgiveness from both God and man; while one who has been utterly ridiculous realiz es that heaven had nothing to do with it, beholders will not forget, and there is no balm in Gilead. When one is intentionally absurd laughter shows appreciation and is gratifying; the laugh is with us. When “with” changes to “at” the situation is entirely different, though often funnier than it other wise might be. In case you buy a watermelon that seems small, here’s an unfail ing rule to make a big one of it. Take the melon to the refrigerator. You merely have to start putting it inside, w’hen it becomes so large as to be almost unmanageable, and leaves room for nothing else. And in case you use the melon rinds for preserving and put lime in the salt water prepared for soak ing them, don’t put in too much lime—a level tablespoonful to the gallon is plenty—and don’t leave the rinds soaking too long. A lit tle lime helps, but too much of it makes you feel like you are chew ing on chips when you eat the pre serves. Whether you have ever had the experience of cooking in an alti tude much higher or lower than that to which you are accustomed, you’d have enjoyed hearing Mrs. Hugh Richardson, formerly Ermah Dawson, of Zebulon, tell of her dis may at the results of her efforts when she first went to Santa Fe, New Mexico. I know that at More head City I had to use more yeast or baking powder than was neces sary in the western part of this state; and cake icings had to be cooked longer to keep them from running off and away; but I never had the worry Ermah has known. Santa Fe, you know, (I didn’t till she told me), is 7,000 feet above sea level, which means nearly one and one-third miles straight up in the air; and also means that there is not nearly so much air from above pressing down on the cook and whatever she may be working on. And that does queer things to cooking. Well, Ermah beat up a cake, us ing a tried recipe that had always turned out just right. And when she put it in the oven that cake simply rose up and came out of the pans like soapsuds, leaving so lit tle of itself that Ermah didn’t ev en try ts> do anything else with it. Too much baking-powder, for one thing. She says she now has one recipe she can depend upon and is afraid to try another. The gov (Continued On Back Page) THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER WAKE. JOHNSTON.

NUMBER NINE ¥l^ -a ■ Howdy, Howdy, everybody, tho probably you feel very much de jected at the idea, I am back With you again. A fellow came up to me the other day and asked me if I knew what a '‘Swashbuckler Pud din’ ” was made of. “I'll bite,” I said, “what?” "It’s made up of eggs, tomatoes, and the Swash buckler,” he answered. I don’t like the way he said that. Last week while Vaymon Harris, colored boy who works (7??) at the RECORD office, was feeding a press he heard a loud commotion in the front of the shop. He stop ped the press and asked, "Did you call me, Mr. Davis?” "No,” said the boss, “I just sneezed.” Which brings to mind the blues singer who, after singing to his gal one Monday night asked his pal what his one-and-only thought of it. “Boy-oh-boy,” replied the pal. “She said it was heavenly!” "D-did she really say that?” the first queried. ‘‘Well, practically,” the latter answered, “She said it was unearthly.” t And then there was the man who was slightly pickled. As he stag gered down the street he came on this sign in a store window: Ladies Ready To Wear CLOTHING He paused and labored over the words for a minute or two, then, as he wabbled on, he commented, “It’s about time!” I reckon all you people read of the dust storms out west. The farmers out there really had a hard time of it. One day a couple of them were standing at the side of the road talking when suddenly they saw’ a large cloud of dust pass. Right behind it came their neigh bor, Josh Wiggins. He was riding a horse and carrying a bag. “Josh,” one of the men asked, “What are you doing chasing that dust like that?” “I’m trying to plant my wheat,” replied the man on the horse. “That’s my farm there!” Then there’s another about one of the western farmers going to town to get a loan. After talking to the hank representative a time, the hank man said: "Let’s get in to my auto and drive out to see your farm. I can better tell the value of it that way.” They head ed out of the bank, but just as they got to the door they saw a large cloud of black dust coming toward them. “Won’t be necessary to go now,” remarked the farmer. “There’s my farm passing now!” One day a newly married man’s wife was taken sick. Said the mother-in-law: "Did you send for a doctor?” “I sent for three,” re plied the efficiency expert. “The first here gets the job.” I’d like to know who the prowler is who is snooping around, peering into windows and scaring the young ladies here out of what wits they have. Just from hearing them talk I’m so afraid I haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep for a week. I • (Continued On Back Page)
