An ': swers will be given here in the order in which questions are received. This ; ; is an informational service and is not ' legal advice or service.

Part of my work consists of serving dining room guests on Saturday andf Sunday, and the stoat of the time Tarn employed by the same employer as a hired girl for the family. I get $6.00 a week wages. Should I get an account num ber, and how much should I pay a week on my social security account? 1 Answer Presumably you ' are con fused by the fact ' that agricultural labor and domestic service in a pri vate residence are excepted employ- - ments under Title VIII of the Social Security ' Act. Domestic service is i excepted, only when it is performed in a nrivate residence. A hotel is not a private residence. If your em nlovers reside in the hotel, the ser- - vice you perform for them is not dnne in a nrivate residence. The fact that the hotel is located on farm doea not make your employ ment. agricultural labor within the JmAinlnir of the exception. You should apply for a social security ac munt number. nsinr empiloyees ap plication Form SS-5. A copy of this form may be obtained from your post office or your nearest Social Securi ty Board field office. On the basis : of the information in your question your employer is required to deduct one ner cent of yourwages, wmcn in elude value of meals and lodging as well as cash, when and as paid, and he also is required to pay an equal amount in taxes out of his pocKet. Your question, however, may not be as definite as it sounds and, if your employer has any doubt, he should nnt the facts before the collector of internal revenue for a ruling. business school ria for my pay. Should er and give it you do not bash, your meals I Fi rm i.ii iaer tne social Security law. Your work in a cafe teria is not an expected employment. You should, therefore, have a social security account number. Keep your account card, as you will use the same number for the rest of your life but make your number known to , your employer. ; V Question I filed an SS-5 applica - tion in March of this year. I . moved away and never received mywinoer. ; Do I have to file another applies Answer--You should file another .

Timely Warning For Hot Summer Days Watch your step, also your sto mach, these hot days and don't over tax your endurance. It should be hnrnp in minrl inn that namnna wit.h inside jobs and those suffering fromby .Miss MVra. Bovce. who wil1 chronic. diseases are easy marks for heat-shots. Thus, Dr. Roy Norton, of the Di vision of Preventive Medicine, State Board of Health, advises the swel tering public. "One should exercise mildly every day but avoid over exertion. Eat moderately, but be particularly sparing with proteins (meats) or fats. The addition of a small amount of salt to the drink ing water is helpful. The idea that salt should always be avoided as far as possible since it may add to the strain on the kidneys is not correct. As a matter of fact, the body re quires more salt in summer or at other seasons when work is done in hot surroundings anywhere. ine thirst that results from the use of salt I have mentioned will make one COOL AS AN OCEAN BREEZE TAYLOR theatre EDENTON, N.

"Observe regular daily habits and rest in the middle of the day whan this is possible. Get plenty of sleep at night. This is very importnat. If, in spite of precautions, one should develop heat exhaustion or heat stroke, it is well to remember cer tain helpful measures which may be taken. Remove the person thus at tacked to a cooler and better venti lated place. Apply an ice collar, if convenient. Keep the patient at ab solute rest, with the head slightly elevated. Loosen the clothing. If the sick individual is conscious, en courage him to slowly sip several glasses of cold water, to which a small, amount of salt has been added. Milk may also be given in large quantities. If the patient is uncon scious, he should be placed under the care, of a physician, who will see that the above measures are taken and also that the fluids necessary are given through a needle. "It is a fallacy to assume that alcohol helps one to resist extreme temperatures. As a matter of fact, the excessive use of alcohol ren ders one a poor risk in tropical as well as extremely cold temperatures." CENTER HILL Mr. and Mrs. Cameron Boyce spent Sunday at Ocean View, Va.

CARDWELL Agricultural and Industrial Agent Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. It does not make any difference to the farmer whether the cowpea is a native of Central Africa, India or China. It does matter that pound QUALITY MERCHANDISE si? - ' r ? HERTFORD 1 for pound eowpea hay is as vataab as clover, hay and ..nearly equal ia value to alfalfa and wheat bran, and that it is a wholesome and nutritious table food from which a variety of palatable as well as economical dishes can be made. The cowpea is of ancient cultiva tion for human food, particularly in Africa and Asia, and also in the Mediterranean region of Rurnn Although in the United States it has been grown mainly for soiling, hay. ensilage, and pasturage for all kinds of stock and as a soil-improvtn& crop, nevertheless the seeds, chiefly of the Blackeye and White varieties, have been commonly used for human food in the Southern States. For feed the cowpea is especially valuable, because it will grow on H types of arable soil, requiring little attention and producing most excel lent forage. In addition, it is of great value as a green-manure crop to increase the humus and the nitro gen content of the soils upon which it is grown. Cowpea hay should be substituted in the Southern States for much of the hay which is now being purchas ed in the North and West. The greater use of this crop for hay and pasturage increases the production of live stock, an essential factor in se curing the maximum returns in any system of agriculture. It also aids much in keeping the soil in good tilth and maintaining its productive ness. The cowpea plant may be fed to livestock as pasturage, hay, or en silage, and the seed may be used as human food. Cowpeas are not grown for seed more generally because of the uncertainty of the crop, the ex pense of harvesting, and the low yield commonly obtained. These fac tors have created a relatively hijrlk price for the seed. In localities well suited to produc tion it will be found highly profit-, able to grow cowpea seed on a large scale, especially if the best machi nery for handling the crop is used. Harvesting cowpea seed can be done most cheaply by the use of machinery. The crop may be cut with a mower, self-rake reaper, or a bean cutter. When the plants are thoroughly dry, the seed may be thrashed with an ordinary grain se parator with modifications, or, better still, with a machine specially con structed for thrashing cowpta;:.
