Booles then showed Mr. Mason the note, and the threat was then considered serious. Mr. Mason theh got up and dressed hur riedly and called members of the fam ily. In the meantime, Mr. Mason hid the big .45 caliber army pistol, but Booles found it and soon thereafter went downstairs with it and was fol lowed. In the living room, a short conversation followed, Booles still maintaining that he was going tq the swamp to kill himself. "Aren't you talking crazy talk?" Booles was asked. "No; that isn't crazy; I'm talking with good sense, and it is the only sensible thing to do," he replied. The expression on his face was described as frightening. In the meantime, his automobile. keys were slipped from his room and hid in an effort to hold him at home, where it was not even considered that he would attempt there to end his life. Mr. Mason and Mr. Manning were pleading hard with him, |>ointing out the uselessness of suicide, when he asked to be excused long enough to get his keys and go to the bathroom. PUILIIHID BVOtV TUWDAV »NO rWIPAY He ran to the bathroom and locked] the door behind him. He was fol-| lowed by Mason and Manning and! was L fisked to come out and join them in conservation. He answered, and a few seconds later the fatal shot was heard. Reaching him through another door, they found Booles lying on the floor, the big pistol in the lavatory. "I've made a bad job of it, and I wish you" w'ould finish it for me," he told Mr. Mason. While the doctor was reaching there the young man, popular »mong local people and a wide circle of tobaccon ists throughout this state and Ken tucky. called "Helen," his wife, and "mother." "Why don't the thing stop beating?" were his next words, the young man referring to his heart. Whle the doctor was reaching there was carried soon after the shooting, he is said to have resented every ef fort made to save his life up until a short while, before he died, when he made some remark indicating Hiat lie wanted to live and that he regretted the act. His wife and father lost their way in their air travel front Cincinnati and .landed in Charlotte. There hired an automobile and reached Washing ton about 3 o'clock yesterday morn ing to find the young man dead. The body-J&s prepared for shipment to the Kentucky home, and relatives and friends boarded a train in -Rocky Mount for the return trip. They reached 'l'aylorsviUe early today, -and the funeral will.be held there this aft ernoon or tomorrow. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AS TO FARM PROBLEMS Question: Please let me know if a tomato sucker can be rooted and transplanted and produce tomatoes suitable (or market? Answer: Tomato suckers .and branches are - oft'en used for produc ing a late crop but the practice is not a* satisfactory as growing plants from seed. Branches that have been in contact with the soil and have de veloped a few roots may be set di rectly in "the garden if the soil is moist. (Jsually, however, it is neces sary to root the branches in a moist, partially shaded bed and then trans plant to the field. With good soil and weather conditions, the well rooted branches should produce just as good tomatoes as plants from ' seed but, iue to the extra labor in 'volved iii rooting and handling the branches, the use of them is not ad ! vised for commercial purposes. THK ENTERPRISE HINTS FOR HOMEMAKERS By Mrs. Winnifred Parker, Home Service Director Virginia Electric And Power Company Frozen Desserts In every one hundred homes in the United State§ there are seventeen electric refrigerators. Some sections, near here have as high as twenty-two in every one hundred but for East ern Carolina seventeen percent is about right. Of course, electric re frigerators are primarily for the pur pose of preserving the family's food. There are several other services they can render, one of which is to freeze desserts. If you have not been entirely atis fied with electrically fr ./.en desserts, ask your self three quest ions, Is my recipe d signed for electric freezing? Do 1 freeze it as rapidly as possible? Do I warni up the box as soon as the dessert is frozen? If your answer to each of these questions is affirmative and you arc still not pleased with your frozen de sserts then notify the editor of this paper Some one will come to help you. Smooth frozen desserts without churning is one of the privileges of the home maker today. Such desserts as mousses and parfaits do not need stirring—others as ices need to be stirred—usually three times at thirty minute Intervals. Following! arc some basic recipes which you may vary by changing thfe fruit or flavor. A few well selected recipes varied to suit the occasion are more to be de sired than a multiplicity of recipes. This banaua cream freezes in one and one-half Jioun* Mash three bananas in the juice tff one lemon, .(one cup of any fruit pulp may be substituted). Add one small can of unsweetened evaporated milk and one-half cup of sugar. Whip one cup cream and fold in. Place in freezing tray and, set temperature at the lowest possible point. To insure uniform distribution of the fruit stir after thirty minutes freezing but this will be smooth with no stirring. Aft er one -and one-half hours reset the temperature so the cream will just stay frozen. In hot summer weather the fol lowing makes a most refreshing des sert ami it has the advantage of being cheap and less heating than many. Mix one and one-half cups fruit pulp, (try jiulp, juice grated rind of two large oranges and one lemon), with three-fourths cup sugar and chill. Pour one tall can of unsweetened evaporated milk in a freezing tray un til just beginning to freeze. l'our quickly into a chilled bowl, add two tablespoons lemon juice and whip. I'iild in swMened fruit pulp and freeze without' stirVing. Be sure to set the temperature as cold as pos sible until frozen and then set back to "hold" but not continue freezing. j Note: It is not necessary to boil I evaporated milk in order to whip it but it is necessary to have it very ' cold and add lemon juice. This pineapple creain recipe is «l- Iso most satisfactory and a quick freezer: 1 small can grated pineapple; 1-4 cup sugar; 1 egg white whipped to a point and 1 rtip cream whipped. j l-reeze at. the coldest point for -Thirty "•mintjtrs alld sfir ~onrf" t(T tribute the fruit, continue freezing another hour then raise the tempera ture to "hold", 'l itis will be smooth with no stirring hut fruit may then be more or less concentrated at the bottom. * . ' N I The tendency to "icyness" which sometimes develops in frozen desserts is lessened by the use of gelatine or eggs This angel parfait is never icy and one cuj> of any fruit pulp may be added and the whole frozen- with no stirring. 1 t powdered gelatin soaked in; 2 t cold water and melted over hot teater, 1-2 cup sugar cooked with- 1-2 cup water to a soft boil and poured over 2 egg whites, beaten dry; ad| gelatin beating all until cold; fold m, 1 cup cream whipped and 1 t flav oring (one 1 c. fruil) try figs with juice of lemon. Any of these desserts may be suc cessfully fro*en by packing in equaT quantities or chipped ice and ice cream salt. If you haven't yet treated yourself to iionie t»f the pretty glass dishes-so inexpensive now, go without some thing else and -get some. No matter how good the food it it is not served daintily in hot weather it will not be attractive. The colorful glass plates, competes, cups and saucers shown wc uld make any food tempting. And colored table linens help- a lot. A table set in green glass on a green cloth one hot day last week was almost as refreshing as the wished for breeze would have been. Dainti ness sweetens hat weather tempers.

LILLEY HUNTING CLUB. a3O s2 S 7 12 * WILL.IAMSTON SELF RELIANCE I IS ONE GREAT NEED OF TODAY ~ • We Have Grown Overly Dependent In This Day Writer Points Out By G. A. CARDWELL . Merle Thorpe, editor and manager 'of "Nation's Business," is becoming i one of the best known figures in the j j United Stales because of his illumi-1 j nating editorials, feature articles, and! Irad'o talks. He never seems to grow J intellectually stale; he has poise and ; common sense in proportions which make his views valuable not only to business men, that is, to the urban i group which the phrase comn*fM&- signifies, but also to the larger body • of rural business men. . J 1 lii Thlt itionih * issue of "Nation s ' Business," Mr. 1 horpe draws atten- j tion to a statement of opinion from j tbe~ past "Just one hundred years ago a great historian and philosopher, de-, tached from the hurly-burly of poli tics. made a suggestion which i-s ! pertinent today,—Macaulay wrote; "Our rulers will best promote the improvement of the nation, by strictly j confining themselves to their own legislative duties, by leaving capital to find its most lucrative course, com inodituA their fair price, industry and intelligence their natural reward, idle- j ness and folly their natural punish-j ment, by maintaining peace, by de fending property, and by observing strict economy in every department, 'of state. Let the government do this | *—and the people will assuredly do the , rest. v • ' Although* return to a strictly lais , sez faire policy of government is en j tirely impossible, deductions of im portance may be based on Macaulay's political creed. For example, during ! the present trying period, dcvelop i ment of sound local rural leadership ,j and self-reliance are needed as sel , dom before. We have, 1 believe, ( grown overly dependent, following, ! blindly leadership furnished by a top heavy government, a government too often controlled by partisan politics.. Farmers need and are entitled to governmental consideration.

It is natural | to "take of public aids and , subsidies in time of strett, but it, I would be to the'great advantage and everlasting credit oi the farmer if he were to learn to depend upon his own ( I intelligence and resurces.

We need constant guidance by well-: trained men and women, but we should not lean too heavily upon them. We should permit them to develop lead ership in each community so that the largest number of people possible may !earn to think and act for themselves and to work cooperatively for the communities in which their lot is cast. Again I quote Mr. Thorpe: "For our recourse to a political ad ministration of all our affairs we are l ; paying a price.

Unless we are willing to free our selves to a reasonable extent from the political administration mentioned by Mr.. Thorpe, essential agricultural service which is now available to all will unquestionably ' suffer from the resolute effort being made by a tre 'mendously burdened people to throw off a part of the tax load. The movement to reduce cost of govero 'ment has already resulted in the dis continuance of county agricultural and ' home economics work in some coun , ties in the South—in primarily agri j cultural counties which can ill afford ,to have this valuable work discon ! tinued.
