ASKS HELP FROM THE PEOPLE OF HERTFORD A pre-campaign appeal to the good people of Hertford County for Near East Relief funds to help keep alive the 800,000 refugees suddenly pitch ed on them by the Smyrna horror, was made this week to our citizens by Col. George H. Bellamy, state chairman, and members of the North Carolina executive committee of that great humanitarian organization. While this emergency appeal can not be allowed to interfere with the regular campaign for the support of North Carolina's 3,334 orphans, now safely housed in the five Tarheel or phanages at Trezibond, yet unless the nation does its share many of these unfortunate people will be dead by Christmas. Col. Bellamy, in speaking of the horrible tragedy, says: "Eight weeks ago these people were living a tran quil life, going about their business, worshipping on Sunday, planning foe the future and educating_their_chiL dren." Suddenly Constantine and Ke mal Pasha have differences, the Tur kish hordes overun the land?murder their men, carry their young and beautiful women off to vile Turkish harems, burn the Biblical City of Smyrna and destroy the entire coun tryside." Colonel Bellamy and the state nqittee, which is headed by Jose phus Daniels, ask that checks be sent to the local county chairman, or to Robert A. Brown, state treasurer, 901 Citizens Bank-Building, Raleigh, N. C. to aid in the problem of taking care of these 800,000 homeless and near-naked, starving victims.

MERCHANT You Need the Newspaper The newspaper of today is the ' most powerful medium of adver- j tising on earth. In the old days the merchant may have thought he was a benefactor and that he was contributing his bit "as a public spirited citisen" when he carried a two-inch space in the village paper every week in the year and generally without change of copy. Possibly he was. But that is , changed now. A new order has arrived. People read advertisements. Many find their greatest interest in looking over the advertising pages to get news that will save them money, and, take it from John D. Rocke feller, the way to save your dol lars is first to save your pennies. Advertisements today are right up to the minute. They are as fresh as the news of the world or -the?latest baseball?score. Live merchants cater to live people and they know they must not alone be up to the minute, but they must be some distance ahead. They must anticipate the wants of their cus tomers. And they do. Turn to the ad vertisements in this paper right now. Just read what the mer chants are offering. Notice the in vitations for you to do business with them. Notice how attractive ly the advertisements are set up and how inviting they are. Do you know that some firms think so much of a style of type that they buy series of it just for their advertisements? You can nev#r mistake B. Altman's adver tisement. As soon as you see the open type you know it is Altman's advertisement without looking for the name. This is true of many firms. Business men?that is the suc cessful ones?know advertising pays big returns. Unsuccessful men don't advertise because they are unsuccessful. That's the an swer. Look over your town right now and pick out the big firms. They're the advertisers. Advertis ing is the tonic that puts dividends in the banks. Everybody reads advertisements today. Mr. Merchant, is youd ad vertisement in this newspaper? Is December 13 to 16 is the date of the big poultry meeting at Greens boro. Dr. B. F. Kaupp says it will be the largest and best in the South this year. ? Cabbage* Plants Best variety, early Jersey, Wake field.
