©he Zebitlnn tßrcorft VOLUME XV. THIS, THAT, & THE OTHER MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS It does pay to hint, if one is fairly lady-like about it. Not long ago I remarked to Mrs. Needham Pitts that when hostesses at mis sion circles and club meetings serve dainty little sandwiches and wafers I I find myself wishing some one would give us turnip greens and hot cornbread. You see I have had no cook this fall. And right after I made that remark to Mrs. Pitts she invited my husband and me to come to her house from the shop at noon and eat turnip greens and cornbread. I felt guilty, but also felt hungry and gladly accepted. And what a boiled dinner she had! In addition to the items already ! mentioned I ate vegetable soup, cabbage, peas, ham —all boiled— tomatoes and potato pudding, fin ishing with ice cream. Os course one can add to results by choosing the audience when , making ‘‘all wants and wishes | known”; I certainly made a good , thing of it that time. If you want to read a book that | is witty and clever, try “With Malice Toward Some” by Margaret Halsey. In it the author has an im- 1 mensely good time getting even with the English for their criti cisms of Americans of these Uni ted States. Being the wife of an “exchange” college professor, she had a chance to know English characters and customs as tourists never could; and she writes most . entertainingly of them. The book has no plot, unless the getting even might be considered one, and can be picked up and laid down without lessening interest. The only flaw for me is the faint doubt that any one woman can be so consistently , clever and amusing as Margaret Halsey’s writing shows her to be.

NEW PERMANENT WAVING METHOD PROVES POPULAR The old saying, “There’s nothing new under the sun,” is being ex ploded right here, for there’s an innovation in permanent waving that is hard to believe can exist. It is the Carter’s prescription wireless method of waving the hair which has been installed by the Zebulon Beauty Shop. This new scientific method of permanent waving eliminates en tirely the discomfort of waving hair and gives a more lasting per ™»oent wave without the use of hine or chemical heat. It pro ? nature’s closest rival in nat curls, but it is not the so i machineless. Every wave is inteed and it is suggested that nvestigate the method and re of Carter’s prescription wire wave at the beauty shops have installed it. s method in Zebulon is ex e at the Zebulon Beauty their ad in another column.

The Wakelon Bullodgs scored in the first minute of play last Fri day in their game with Apex when Kimball intercepted an Apex pass and raced forty yards for a touch down behind perfect blocking. This early lead was never relinquished, and before the game was over the boys in red and white had scored three more touchdowns and added two extra points to pile up a score of 26-6 over the fighting Apex boys. The Apex score came early in the second half when Debnam’s punt was blocked on the eight yard line. There line plays and a pass netted a touchdown for Apex. A punt return of sixty-three yards to the Apex two yard line by Morris set the stage for the second Wakelon score. After Ray had picked up one yard thru the left side of his line, Morris went off right tackle for the score. Kim ball’s try for extra point by a dropkick was no good. Another touchdown was made before the half by Morris, who again hit the right side of his line. Pate took a pass from Kimball for the extra point. The Bulldogs tallied their fourth touchdown late in the last quarter when Eddins took a short pass from Kimball and ran twenty-eight yards for the score. Kimball’s try for the extra point was again blocked. Although “Baby” Mitchell never scored, he thrilled the crowd by several long end runs. Coach Brownie of the Apex team praised Mitchell’s playing. The entire Wakelon team played its best game of the season, and Coach Austin expressed himself as pleased with the team’s work. This win gives the locals three wins out of fbur starts for this season. Their next home game is with the strong Smithfield team on October 28. Tobacco Stolen Nearly four hundred dollars worth of tobacco was stolen from J. M. Whitley on Tuesday night, probably between one and two o’clock. The tobacco was stored in a packhouse at the rear of the L. E. Long home. Mrs. Long was awakened by some cause and no ticed several times the gleam of a flashlight. Though vaguely un easy she did not arise to investi gate. Mr. Long was not at home. There are no definite clues to lead to the thieves, but officers are at work on the case and it is hoped that developments may lead to a solution of the crime. Hog Cholera Outbreak When hog cholera appeared in three sections of Wilson county last week, the farm agent had to vaccinate 225 animals to get the dread disease under control. Potato Storage Idle tobacco barns on the farm of A. B. Tapp of Timberland, Hoke county, have been converted into sweet potato curing houses to care for the harvest from 10 acres of the sugar spuds.

The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. Foster Finch, who introduced Mr. J. E. McTntire, of the Wakelon faculty, who spoke most interestingly on the subject, Trees. Starting first with how the tree is made up, he led to the following points: Ne cessity of a good root system, pre paration of holes, depth to plant, moisture, planting, careful pruning, proper spacing, suitable trees for street planting and care of mature trees. A round-table discussion followed this talk. Mrs. H. C. Wade, who is sponsor for the Colored Garden Club, told of the many things that this club had done in the ppst few months, namely: built a sidewalk to school, built five bridges, planning to open a new street to school, organized a Community Club, planning to erect a gateway at the school entrance. Mrs. Chas. Flowers announced that the Zebulon Colored Club, (Please Turn To Back Page) YEFAPDOOLE Being still young and perhaps foolish, I do not know much about I bussing and kissing and such like. ! Perhaps some of our older and more experienced swains can tell us whether the following taken I from the Pink Rag is true, cor -1 rect and proper as well as good poetry: There was a young man in Augusta Who puckered his lips for a busta, But his gal said, “Nay, nay’ I don’t kiss them that way”. So he custa, and custa, and custa. If you’ll drop by the Zebulon Drug store and look in the big window' at the side you will see what one might call the well-end of a sick man. There you see the ori ginal “yerbs” from which some of our most famous remedies are made. Medicine is something I don’t like much hardly, but when I get sick I want what I don’t want. Did you go to the fair last week? I did. I had a choice between go ing to the State-Wake Forest foot ball game and the fair. I went to the fair. I saw all kinds of ani mals there from folks to hogs. Be lieve me, the best behaved animals I saw were the Jersey cows. But as for that, the hogs beat the folks, that is some of them. Saw a fellow spin like a top on either iend. He may not have had any brains in his feet but they were ! sure educated. And I saw tw r o Japs who could do a lot of things i with their feet that I can’t do with my hands, or for that mat ter with my hands, feet, and head thrown in. f ’Tother day I saw a colored girl coming down the street apparent ly dressed hulu style. Nothing ap peared visible except her skirt, that is no clothes above her waist. To the great relief of my embarrass -1 ment I saw that she had on a sweater almost exactly flesh col | ored, so speak, like a negro. So clothes or no clothes, guess I had better not jump to conclusions too I quickly. Now just suppose it had been my or your best girl, then what ? Did you see that little gal steal the show from the star, Bobby Breen the other night? He could sing, but that little tot shore could cut capers on the ice. That just re minds me that there are plenty of bigger stars a-shining than the one we are looking at, if we would only change our gaze. I Well, so long. Maybe something .will really happen like a fight, a I wedding, or I find a quarter, so I
