PREVENT DISEASE; DRAIN ? STAGNANT WATER VOLUME XVIII. This, That, €r the Other * By MRS. THEO. B- DAVIS It's odd how much difference u makes when someone gets a wrong number and apologizes for bothei ing you. Last week our line must have been tangled or melted with others lor there were nume ous rings not meant for us. Some times the ringer merely hung up as sixin as 1 spoke, not explaining at all. Sometimes I'd hear a short, exasperated "wrong number" * Once in a while somebody would say, "Oh, 1 am sorry to have made you answer I was trying to get Mrs. Blank." One wrong number took not a bit more time than the other; but. while I might have felt in one case that a minute or two had been lost from work, when an explanation or apology came, I'd feel glad to have had a word with such a con siderate person. * * * As is my custom at this season I am finding the most irritating reading of all those columns and pages of advice on how to keep cool during the hot weather. Much as they fret me, I can't resist go ing over them They sound so log ical and convincing and are in re ality so impossible tor most ol us. ‘ For instance: We are told to rise late, keep \ ing the bedroom darkened against • the gLre of morning sun. But noth ing is said of who’d cook break fast or gather the vegetables for dinner or get the house in order. Nothing of Daylight Saving Nor is there a word as to how the mockingbird is to be stopped from singing at that hour. Some vary this by saying, "rise early, perform all necessary tasks before the day grows hot." But it is necessary for some of us to work all day. “Eating of cooling foods is |* urged, with mouth-watering men tion of chilled melons and salads; "tall iced drinks" are commended, and cold cuts are said to be spec ially nice. Maybe so, but you just try such diet on a man with work in the field to do. His opinion ot a dainty gelatine salad and a wafer thin sandwich would hardly be cooling. "Freqhent bathing" is one of the essentials mentioned. Granted and enthusiastically endorsed. But it s just like me to remember that with water as hard as that piped to us the tub always has to be scrubbed out — and that is hot work, all stooped over. If you have no tub, and many do not, there s the job of lifting pails of water at least twuce. “Entirely fresh clothing at least once a day is requisite," if we would be daintily groomed and cool. Yea, verily. And, if we can forget for a time the size of the resultant weekly wash, or the fact that we ourselves must launder much of what w'e wear, that may aid in keeping down our tempera ture. For with weather like we're having, no "gentle swishing /through lightly foaming suds’ will suffice for garments saturated with sweat —and I don't mean •perspiration, much less “prespira tion.” It takes squishing and rub bing to get them clean. "Only moderate exercise should be indulged in." Does that mean we are not to sweep floors or yards, not to pull the grass and weeds from flower beds? And should the cow— ol the neighbor s cow- —get out, or the hens invade the garden, should we keep our minds on being ccxil and let them ravage what they will? Where does canning come on the moder ate exercise list’ '* Finally, they insist that we think only pleasant, unexciting thoughts. Keep ourselves emotionally axil and calm. That advice is good; but if I live up to it I must quit reading articles like the ones 1 quoted from. I am convinced that those writ ers know little or nothing about the lives we folks live. But some of them do have imaginations, and why can't they turn their imagin ings in one direction as well as another? It may be that such realism (DZrlndim i&zmrb Stewart Black Is Program Leader For Rotary Club - ■ ~~ Kotarians Still Holding; to Their Perfect Record zxbulon Rotaiy Club held /nth hundred pa cent consecu t: .. meeting on August Ist (diaries Allen being the onl, one absent He p.obaliy was cor. ducting a meeting com, where an w.ll make u,. his absence.

Hoke Farmers Are Getting “Guaranteed ’ Gin Work Something new in the annals of ginning in North Carolina is a ‘guaranteed ginning" program to be offered by the ginners oi Hoke county this year. Fred P. Johnson, gin inspector tor the State Department of Agriculture, has been the leading a u pmnee ng figure n pushing guaranteed ginning as an answer to most of the ginner’s problems. Here’s his story. Recently the eight ginners in Hoke Com.iy suomittied then an severs individually and as a group to the so-called gui problem by agreeing to guarantee their work during 1941. From the viewpoint nf the ginners and fat mens in Hoki County there is nothing pat ttcularly interesting in tins action on the ginners part. Good ginning evidently is taken lor granted in a county that had 99.3 per cen, normal ginning in 1940. Nor do these Hoke County ginners Ice! tu it they have in. de any heroic 1 .isky amnu.tmenv, ait. 1 gnm. 1 i 0,581 bales last season and hav ing only 73 bales classed below normal. Tiie ginning situation anywhere is generally difficult to explain because the nfluences that pro d eed it arc obscured by time .1 more spectacular factors. For mor than 25 yeais the gin service in HoL County has been supplied by men whose primary interest Wa - in cotton farming. Being farmer, themselves they realized that tlv practices found profitable on their own faims should be promoted among their customers As have ginners in many other sections of North Carolina, they have been called the original county agents They were already grading, di tinting arid treating cotton seed and knew the value of better seed when the federal cotton improve ment program was undertaken in their county. Consequently the v.Ol s of the Extension Service was greatly facilitated, as evidenced by die fact that over 25 per cent of the Noith Carolina cotton classej under the federal impiovement piogram this past season was pro duced in Hoke C unty, and that 4 : > 42 per cent of this cotton was initialing and belter, while tiie tern.under of the state had only 34 4.4 per cent that graded mid dung anu above. A CUSTOM INDUSTRY-’ Cot.on ginning is .. custom inure try and the producer is just as responsible tor the condition oi the cotton he p’uts on the market as tue ginner, in fact ne is more responsible, because the ginner mer iy contracts to do a job ac c. rding to tne producer’s specifi catiois. Technically tliL results of tne ginning process are delta minal by the condition of the raw material, me mechanic’! eqcuipmcnt and the ability of th'. gin operator Any one of thc.->e fact-rs can be responsible Ur losses due to imp>-opcify ginneu cotton. The fact that the ginners m Hoke County are prepared l guarantee th„ir ginning indicate that they hate good gin equip ment. and confidence in tin ability l.r (lustomc; The management of tin g ; o hereby agrees to pay the ownc. of any cotton ginned by us tor any damage ittnbun J t the gin lung process, (preparation), as d. termineJ by U.
