<£ljr Zrbultm IRrrnrti VOLUME XV. . THIS, THAT, & THE OTHER MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS New to me is the plan my daughter uses to keep her two small sons entertained when they go with her on shopping trips and are left in the car while she is making her purchases. The boys watch the women who pass and count the number with slips showing below dress hems. For each of these they are paid a penny. Last Saturday they Were a bit resentful because women seem to be getting more careful. They had made only two cents in a long spell of watching. I know a man who has not yet opened the Christmas present sent him last December by his girl friend. He says the knowledge of having it gives him pleasure with out knowing what the gift is. Such self-control is positively unnatural and worries me. He may open the package in June, that would give six months for anticipation and six months for realization. But just suppose he were given some thing perishable! Several times I have been into the bowling alley that is Willard Gill’s and Zebulon’s; once I tried to bowl. That I have not tried again is due simply to the fact that my flower beds are in sad condition and I don’t have the nerve to use i for bowling strength which could root out that grass and those weeds. If ever those beds are in good shape, I’ll probably be one in the midst of those who throw the big, hard bells at the pins. That is, as long as Willard gives hours free to women. But when I went in merely to watch it was almost as interesting as taking part. No more do I wonder that the spectators’ chairs are occupied so much of the time. For a woman bowling is something to look at. We go about it in such varied ways. Some of us —one of whom I sure ly am —lean the way we want the ball to go. Some aim directly and painstakingly, and their balls are liable to go as wild as the ones that seem carelessly tossed. I saw one bowler who took three short steps before throwing, meantime slinging back and forth the arm holding the ball. Another wound up almost like a ball pitcher, each time making me fear she was going to whack the floor just in front of her as hard as she could. Some players stood almost erect to throw, others displayed their intentions by leaning over so far one feared they might lose balance. But all of the above didn’t matter. What did matter, to my notion, was that very frequently some player would advance until she had at least one foot ’way beyond the line that supposedly marks the limit for feet. It impressed me so much that I asked Willard if one is per mitted to stand where he—or she —listeth, like the wind that blow eth. He said no; that a foot over the line means a lost shot.

Martin of the Hales Chapel section was in Zebulon Thursday with a box of eggs which he said were the surplus from more than 100 a day laid by Barred Rocks. About the size of guinea eggs, these had been laid by pullets not five months old. Mr. Martin bought 500 biddies early this year, ate some of them, sold some, and now has 134. To his surprise they began laying when four months old. He says • neigh bor Vaden Richardson, has some that began to lay before being even four months old. CLUB COLUMN ZEBULON ROTARY The Zebulon Rotary Club had a 100 per cent meeting last Friday evening. Irby Gill had the program. Irby almost invariably has some thing worthwhile and entertaining. Several beautiful music selections were rendered by Mrs. Wade and young children of the Methodist church. Sperker of the evening was Mr. Hunter Bell, who had been a pa tient in the Sanatorium for Tuber culosis and is now discharged. He discussed the various treatments of tubercular patients. Mr. Bell had made a study of tuberculosis while he was in the Sanatorium and was well informed. The talk that he j— us was something new and ! out of the ordinary. He described all the conditions of this disease in its various stages and treatment. As no quack cures, the only sane treatment is the one given through the modern Sanatoriums. The Ro tarians enjoyed his talk. He look ed the picture of health, Which shows that the Sanatorium is do ing work worth while. His talk was enjoyed most, because he is a local boy and all have been inter ested in his health.

KING AND QUEEN IN WASHINGTON King George and Queen Eliza beth of England are being receiv ed and entertained in Washington today at the White House. After wards they will be guests at a garden party at the British Em bassy. Major discussions seem to center around adequate police pro tection for the foreign rulers; the number of congressmen and wives to be invited; the length of dresses to be worn by ladies; and whether * bow or a curtsy will be expected by the queen, Harry Liles, who had j. short circuit but no lights one night up on the highway, was given 30 days upon it. Constable Baker testi fied that he called to Mr. Liles and asked him to please stop, down there just this side of the river on the way to Raleigh, but Mr. Liles and his lightless motorcycle heed ed not the call. Harry said he had enemies and that if they were af ter him that would have been a swell time to catch him; that was why he didn’t stop. The court was joking about those 30 days if the defendant will pay the costs. Joe Price, Jack Frazier, and Buster Foster seem to have re formed. At any rate, when their names were called today they did n’t answer “Here.” Sheriff Mas sey has been instructed to discover their whereabouts, presumably to congratulate them upon the refor mation. Hugh and Onnie Mercer, half brothers, were accused of toting, respectively, a pair of knuckle dusters and semi-automatic pistol. Their counsel said that Mr. Onnie is a big land-owner and runs a commissary in which the knucks and pistol are habitually kept. One night some rowdies came along and, to prevent theft in case the rowdies should later break and enter the commissary, Hugh took the weapons and dropped the knucks into Onnie’s pocket, where they were later discovered by Sheriff Massey. Onnie said he didn’t even know he was carrying his deadly weapon—and Judge Rhodes said he must have been mighty high not to, and would he please pay the costs. Hugh said he’s like to have the pistol back— and Judge Rhodes said he must be mighty optimistic, and would he please pay the costs plus fifty dollars. George Wells, accused of lar ceny, plead guilty as charged and received sixty (60) days on the roads and one (1) lecture upon the evilness of his ways. The many friends of Millard High will be glad to learn that his name was not on the docket to day. Ben Perry and Ophelia Wilson were accused of fornication and adultery, their second offense in what seemed to the court an un seemly short period. The court suggested matrimony, but further investigation showed that Ben’s marriage prior to his acquaintance with Ophelia precluded this solu tion. Both pleaded guilty and were sentenced to serve 60 days for the first offense and an ad ditional 30 days for their last nocturnal escapade. During the (Continued next week.)
