Fori^rn Advertising RtpniNMin i THE AMERICAN PRESS A39UOAHON Friday, May 12,1922 It seems that hard times are a thinj of the past; the only thing we heai bow is polities. 0 It is poor business to carry a high head and have someone else carrying your tax receipt. ?0 If you don't like a man, just tell him so, you will never get anywhere backbiting him; you will make ten enemies to every one friend. 0 There is no use trying to pass up the man you owe and make no effort to pay; because when you do, he is aware of the fact that you are dis honest . "Joy-time just around the corner." Chautauqua in Ahoakie again this year! Of course, everybody says, "A season ticket for me!" Big sav ing in buying a season ticket. Get yours now! 0 The poet who asked, "What is so tare as a day in June?" passed over the month o'May without even a passing nod. We have days in May as full of the beauty of,God as any of those in June. 0 Did you go to church Sunday? If not, why not? Ahoekie has excell ent church facilities, and yet there are those, and the number is too large, who hardly, if ever, make church-going a practice. We repeat, "if not, why not?" A_ , ? 1 " Farmers in and around Ahoskie are generally up against it, in regards to the purchase of high-priced ferti lixers. Which makes us all yearn for the time when Ford will begin opera tions at Muscle Shoals, and furnish Hertford County farmers, burdened with fertiliser debts, with nitrates at half the present price. 0 Friends are few and far between, so if you have a real friend you will never go wrong by sticking to him. The Herald is sticking to the people of this section and our policy is to feed everybody out of the same spoon. We take sides with no one. Our policy is to be on the side of the right as near as we possibly know how, and to run our business on the level. 0 We note that in some parts of the state, the officers are frequently sus pected of making "improper dis posal" of the precious fluid, when capturing a still; and turning in the apparatus, but none of the product Not so, around Ahoskie, the local "revenuers" are attaining fame (or notoriety?) in always turning in the whole lay-out, inctading (?) the "stuff." n When you see a man'* advertise ment in the Herald, you can just bet your life he wants your business and be has an article to sell which he is not ashamed to tell you about. That is the best kind of man to deal with. If a man does not think enough of your business to tell you what he has to sell, he proves to you that he does not care whether you buy from him or not Now merchants, what about it? n The anrest way never to get oat of debt end tq always be in hard lack is to spend aD yon can make for some thing yon really do not need and conld get along jast as well without. Foi instance automobiles for pleasure, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco ' and ? thousand and one other fancies and Mis that amount to money absolutely thrown away when yon bay them. When you make a dollar, and yon owe it to some one, remember you are spending the other fellow's money and probably he needs It ??mmm4i ' The list of delinquent taxpayers, peWished in this paper, is viewed with no little apprehension on the pert eC soma It is rsgntsMs that one rrr -toj:ma."

Bind n little consolation, however, in the fac _ that similar, and in many caset worse, conditions exist in other coun ties, which goes to show that we ar "all in the same boat." Cheer-uf taxpayers?the worst is over; (or ye to come, which?) " 0 HISTORY The following essay was receivei a from the Menola Graded School. "History is one of the most import ant studies in the curriculum, becausi its purposes are so manifolw, and i r can be made to appeal to the studen * from so many standpoints. "It furnishes many examples o: patriotism, loyalty, self saerificp j" Uce, Irdeflty, Aid unselfish soclai ser vice. These, if pro pertly dwelt on ' can hardly fail to exert a good in ' fluence on the hearts of pupils; for as he learns of the finest and best ir others, the finest and best in his owr - nature, naturally cornea uppermost X "Then again, ,a right use of His r tory creates ideals, which, even the they may not be reached, exert a beneficial and uplifting influence on , the minds of the pupil. For instance, , the ideal of "the . brotherhood of man, and the federation of the world," contained in the League of Nations, will li^e in the hearts of men, and exert an influence for good even though the noble man, whose heart was so set on it, has, for the time being, at least, seen his dream fail. "Another purpose of History is to teach co-operation. In the devel opment of natural resources through different inventions, we realise our dependence on each) other, hence the need of co-operation. "One of the chief purposes of His tory, of course, is to study the devel opment of the human race?to find out how we came to be what we are, from learning what we were. Another purpose is to help solve the problems of today, by finding out how these problems were met in the past "Still another purpose is what Mr. Bowser call 'natural curiosity*, but which I prefer .to call 'natural in terest' Curiosity to know what others have done is an unworthy mo tive, but interest in what others have accomplished is a different thing. "The study of history is therefore a study of the methods used by the race to maintain life, and to make progress. "The materials necessary to ex plain the conditions, customs, and ideals of American life cannot be found in the study of American his tory alone, because we are a nation made up of representatives of many nations. "American history then, in its true sense, is a history of many nations and races, showing that we are re lated to the whole world, again teaching the brotherhood of man. "Now just a word as to the teaching of this very important subject. In the first place the teacher herself should be deeply interested and en thusiastic. She should herself be in spired by the lofty ideals set forth, or she cannot create them in the minds of her pupils. It will be im possible for her to establish a proper appreciation for, and attitude to wards history, in her pupils, unless her own interest is genuine. "Secondly, any question asked of History, should be in Response to the need of some project which could not be solved without the material History affords. "The child should be led to see that History should be studied because the knowledge will be of benefit to him, not merely because it is in the course of study. "To sum up, the study of History is very important, from social, eco nomic, literary, and even religious standpoints. The range of subject matter should include the develop ment of the race from its very ear liest beginnings. "The sequence in teaching should be in the order of the child's develop ing capacity, the approach to all problems should be from the present, and frequent comparisons between i the past and Hie present, should be made. "The people studied should be'pip sented in such a natural manner as to . lead the child to think of them as liv ing and acting, not merely as dead and gone heroes. "The sources of information should not be limited to the text book, but a wide range of reading should be { encouraged. "The proper use of history will be beneficial to teacher, aa well as pupil, for no one can impart knowl edge without receiving some him self." ?Far immediate results, try HERALD WANT ADS. . Tsco^tax e Commissioner of Rovenue Watts k stated last week that the law permits 0 income taxpayers who have not filed it returns on or before May 15th to vol t> untarily do so by paying a penalty i- of Ave per cent, which penalty in no e case be less than one dollar and one ), per cent a month or fraction of a t month from March 15th until pay ment is made. The Conpnissioner may grant an extension for a lawful reason if applied for before May 16th, which extension will obviate the pen alty and permit delinquents to pay the tax and simple internet from Mar. 15th. All persons who have not made re ? turns should do ao on or before May 15th, send along with the tax the amount of penalty and interest, or submit their reasons for failure to ' file on or before March 16th, 'and ask | After May 16th, the law levies a ? penalty of the amoun? of the tax together with interest at one per cent ? a month or fraction of a month from ' March 16th unll paymen is made. ' It is earnestly hoped that all who have not yet made returns and nai<L their taxes will do so'on or before 1 May 15th and avoid the heavy penalty prescribed by the law for further de linquency. Soon after May 15th, the field deputies will commence to make in vestigations to locate delinquents. THE CROP CENSUS A crop acreage survey of every farm in North Carolina is being taken this month by the tax listers. In structions to the (ax listers by the County Commissioners of' every county ta take the number of acres planted to each crop, on each farm, are in compliance with the law, passed last year, relative to the collection of Arricultural Statistics. In order to facilitate the work of the listers, each farm owner should prepare a list of the sum of his own and his tenant's plantings to be harvested this year, and give in at* the time of listing his property for taxation. An annual census of crop acreages bears the same relation to agriculture as an industry that an inventory does to other forms of business. It is a forward looking step that is in the interests of the farmers as a class, and of the state as a whole. Although this data is collected each year by the tax listers it has nothing to do with an increase of taxation. Re liable data of this kind tends to stab ilize the market, and helps to save the farmer, from losses brought about by the manipulation of the market by the speculative interests. ?
