COTTON GROWERS, GET YOUR EQUITIES VOLUME XVII. This, That, 6* the Other By MRS. THEO. B- DAVIS From Mrs. Roosevelt's “My Day : ‘You have no idea how ingenious you can be when you are shopping for things you want and they are not forthcoming . . . If you can t find a ready made cover for the ironing board, you can buy canton flannel and sheet' ing and make it.” Quite true. Or, if you happen not to have the money for shop ping, you can take a badly worn bed spread or an old blanket and a clean feed sack and make the ironing-board cover. | ; You might be surprised, your self, Mrs. Roosevelt. * * * My grandsons are owners of a horned toad sent from Texas by their other grandmother. She sent two toads but one tunneled out from under the box they were in and may be roaming around Ra leigh yet. If so, anyone seeing it may think he is looking at a baby dragon. Horned toads really be long to the lizard family, I am told. f The trouble about this one is his food. He will not eat anything that is not moving when he catches it. The boys complain that it is so hard merely to stun flies so that they will still walk when of fered to the toad. Last Thursday they said “Tex” had eaten only eight or ten flies in five days. “Mother will kill cm too dead, * Eric lamented. | My daughter says the toad sits for hours in his pan of water, swelling out like a sponge If the water is taken away, he shrinks and shrivels as he dries out. She also claims he will turn his head one-sided, stare at her for a while wand then give her a wicked wink. jP Horned toads are interesting pets but they have their limitations * * * One of the most amusing things I've known of recently was the way the old Newfoundland dog at the Clifton Pippin home acted during the final rush of rehearsal, decorating, and otherwise dashing round geting everything ready for Mary Grey to marry her Elmo in the properly romantic setting. When 1 went up Thursday aft moon to begin work on the yard where Clifton had already fixed the background so firmly that even he storm on Friday didn t flutter t, the old dog was out in the front yard. Whe nl went back mat night for the rehearsal of the ocessional the dog had gone back as far as the driveway in front of the porch. Next morning he was hidden in the shrubbery that surrounds the porch; but by ten o’clock he had gone farther back and had lain down at the side of the house, near the poo! lust before noon 1 saw him walk sadly to the steps at the back porch and lie down. Late in the afternoon I saw the old dog midway the back yard. And when I took the remnants of unused flowers from the front yard to discard them, last thing Nforc coming home for supper that worried beast had gone to the garage door from which plat h lifted a grizzled head to look despairingly at me. I tried to so a few words of comfort and ch- r. but fie lowered his head in dis gusted resignation and closed hi.-, ■ yes. I'd wager that by the time the wedding and reception were over that dog was way down in th< pasture.’ The ways of humans must seem strange past understanding to what we call the lower animals. TIME TO SEED LAWNS Except for the mountain section, the best results arc usually se cured by seeding grass in the early fall John H Harris, extension landscape specialist of N. C. State College, says even in the mountains, at elevations of less than 2,500 feet, the best time t<> S l -d a lawn is in the early fall, by seeding in the fall, the grass will generally become well estab lished before winter, and in the spring will have a good start on She lebttlntt IKrrnrii 75 Wake County Residents Have Licenses Taken Camden County Has No License Revocation In Half Year Seventy-five Wake county mo torists had their drivers’ licenses revoked during the first six months of this year, the highway safety division reported this week. The 75 revocations in this coun ty were a part of the record 3,866 made in the state. Total revoca tions since passage of the Uniform Drivers License Act in 1935 now number 35,524. For the first six months in 1940, 112 licenses were revoked in Wake c Hinty. Drunken driving, of course, was the chief basis for the revocations, 3,115 being for this cause. An other 233 Tar Hey I drivers lost their driving privilege because of i convictions tor “driving under the influence” in other states. Guilford county led the state in revocations the first half of this year. Only one small county, Cam den, reported no license revocations the first six months of 1941. So far this year there is an in crease of 40 per cent above the same period last year. Watts to Be Here Rev. L W. Watts, chaplain at the State Prison in Raleigh, will teach the Alford Bible class of the Zebulon Baptist church next Sun day morning. The Baraea class will be guests of the Bible class at that time. Mr. Watts spoke week before last to the Zebulon Junior Cham ber of Commerce, and his message, which concerned prison recreation and regeneration, was well re ceived The public is invited to hear him next Sunday. Anglers. Anglers Cne of the sea's rarest and odd j est fish is the deep-sea angler. The | largest males are 1 to 2 inches long; the largest females, about 3 feet. Displaying a monogamous tendency almost incredible, the male attaches himself by a little fringe of flesh to his mate's body and proceeds to grow there, be coming entirely parasitic. The fe male has a mouth almost a foot wide, over which dangles a long growth with a beautiful, tassel like affair at the end. This natural fish lure has a light in its tip. furthermore, to make it doubly attractive. Quietly confident that things will come her way, the female just lies on the sea floor with her mouth open, dangling her luminescent lure. As the smaller fish swim toward the lure, she swishes it out of the way, and that’s that. The female is fed di rectly; the male, through his now tightly grown alimentary canal, bo ng fed indirectly.

Coal Mine Reopens In June Plans are underway for the re sumption of coal mining at the mouth of the mine of the former Carolina Coal Company, at Coal Glen, in Chatham County, about eight miles north of Sanford. Coal Products, Inc., of Sanford, recently chartered by the Secre tary of State with Southern Pines interests, including H. B. Chat field and H. N. Butler as incor porators, have acquired property m the Deep River coal fields, and -dan to begin work in the near future. The company has engaged the firm of Robinson and Robinson, mining engineers of Charleston, W. Va , to take charge of the nterprise. It is understixid that electric power will be used in hoisting coal out of the mine, instead ot the former methods of using a steam hoist, chain belt, anil con vors Another improvement will b the cleaning of coal by machine in the mines and at the tipple h fore loading, instead of by former methods by hand. The company will install mod rn machinery, with the latest f ty devices to overcome the hazards 6f dust and gas. Local Thor will be employed, and the ompany hopes to reach an out ■nit of several hundred tons a day The jninc of the Carolina Coal July-August Garden Work Calendar Given There's much work to he done on the fall garden, and in the home orchard, during July and August. For farmers in the eastern part of the state, the horticulturist*; recommend that a second crop of potatoes be planted in July. Good varieties are Lookout Mountain and Cobbler. Also suggested is the setting out of cabbage plants from August 1 to 10. Plant sweet corn, lima beans, summer spinach, Swiss l hard and tomatoes between July ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, JULY 11, 1941 Carolina Power Builds New Line For Defense Aid 110 KiloV Transmission Line to Run to Harnett The first of the five high ten sion lines the Carolina Power and Light Company is building in its program of expansion so as to render further aid in the national defense plans is nearing comple tion and is expected to be placed into service not later than July 6, L. V. Sutton, president and gen | oral manager, announced today. This new line extends from the company's 110 KV substation be tween Dunn and Erwin to its Cape Fear steam electric generat ing plant in Chatham -county, where the capacity of the plant is being increased from 44,000 to | 124,000 horsepower. Not only will the new 110 KV j line relieve other high-powered lines of the company, but will also provide more capacity for Fort Bragg, Raleigh, and other sections in the Raleigh load area, it was said. It will also provide an addi tional safeguard against failures on other 110 KV lines in event of trouble on the lines bringing power from the company's hydro electric plants at Blewett and Til lery. Mr. Sutton said work is prog rcssing satisfactorily at the Cape Fear plant and that every effort is being made to install the two new generating units as soon as possi ble. Extending for a distance of 28 3 4 miles, the Dunn-Cape Fear line has a total of 229 structures. Each of the poles, which average between 50 and 55 feet, is of na tive timber heavily creosoted, as there is an average of about eight pounds of creosote to each cubic foot. Work isalso progressing satis factorily, it was said, on the Selma- Goldsboro-Wilson 110 KV line, and also on the Florence to Greeleyville, the Hartsville to Chesterfield, and the Cheraw to Chesterfield lines in South Caro lina. Heavy ’Pains Fall In East Carolina Continued rain in this section has kept the ground wet and gives grass time to make much headway before it can be uprooted from crops. But other communities have had much worse to contend with. On last Saturday Kenly, Golds boro, and adjacent neighborhoods had a veritable cloudburst. Rain fell to the depth of a little more than three and six-tenths inches. Driving through it, was practically impossible. Windshield wipers could do little but “stir up” the quantity of water thrown on the glass and sight was fix) much dimmed for safety even could the road ahead have been visible. Raleigh reported heavy rain on Sunday also. Company has not been operated •n eight or ten years.

The purpose of the softball game at which no one person in Zebulon can he said to excel - is to raise money for the Boy Scout hut being built next to the water plant. The troop needs a little more money for the enterprise, •md Scoutmaster Allen expects the softball game to raise the necessary funds. Admission to the game will be ten cents at the gate, hut Leon Ts lompson has devised an ingen ious method of saving money for the fans: he has had coupons printed which will admit a fan with payment of only a dime. These valuable coupons will be distributed absolutely free. Leaders on the Rotary Club team are expected to be Bob Saw yer and Robert Massey, both mem bers of the Jaycees also. However, “You’ll have to let us play with the Rotary Club team, fellows,” one of them plead at the last Jaycee meeting. “Those fellows are j so decrepit.” The Rev. George Griffin is ex pected to star for the Jaycees, along with Robert Ed Horton and Ed Hales. “We expect to spot the Rotarians at least twelve runs, if we play a nine inning game,” Robert Ed said. Well get twelve runs, all ! right,” a Rotarian countered, “but nobody will have to spot us any thing We'll bat the Jaycees right out of the park in the first in ning.” Considering the prowess of the two teams, there is some doubt in various quarters that anybody will bat anybody else right out of the park in any inning, It cannot be denied, however, that neither team has a pitcher worth a cuss.
