entitled "Mi Novio Espanol," o "My
Spanish Sweetheart." There is very
I little action?two American tourists
'have come to a small Spanish town 'o
see a lamous Moorish church They
have found that it is hard to under
stand the Spanish spoken by natives
.for they talk too fast. Of course they
make mistakes such as calling the
church Mozquita in place of Mesquita
not knowing tHat the former means
mosquito! The purpose of the play is
to portray variops types of Spanish
people, always found in such a set
ting-sellers of water, cakes, beggars
v;ho beg under a sign which says posi
tively no begging; a jealous lover who
swears beneath the sign forbidding
blasphemy, the inevitable gypsy and
other picturesque types. Folk songs
are used, for a Spanish play must al
ways lave them. The tourists finally
secure some students as guides. One
ot them asks Grace to become his
sweetheart but she forgets his name
and confuses the three cards given to
her, She has to leave saying, "Adios.
Mi Novio Espanol." Admission 25
cents.
BRIGHT COLORS POPULAR
ON PORCH FURNITURE
"Color will be more popular than
ever before on porches this spring,"
said Mr. H. C. Taylor. "The use of
color is an important part of Interior
decoration in all rooms in the home,
but nowhere is ft more effective than
for porch furniture that hurdles
on. the porch.
"Duco has proved so satisfactory,
women are renewing, porch chairs
and tables this season. Many ot them
are particularly enthusiastic about
the small hand- sprayer tor use in
Tainting wicker furniture, the spray
at makes it easier to reach the hid
den strands than is possible with a
brush."

ARE JiEWVSPAPEKS DEEDED!
The merchant who says that every
one knows his place ot business, and
that he doesn't have to advertise, can
be (ouud in Louisburg, and in every
other community in this ccuntry
This merchant also says that cus'o.
meTs come to him when in need of
Moods, so why should he waste his
money in advertising? An answer to
that question has been made by a
newspaper whose advertising man no
doubt stumbled into places of busi
ness where the owner possessed that
frame of mind.
This newspaper answered the ques
tion "Why Should I Advertise?" as
follows:
"Of course, the newspaper man
might say in rebuttal, 'everyone in
this community knows what^ happens
here, so what's the use of reporting
.the news; what's the use of printing
v. newspaper?"
"If the community can get along
without a newspaper it ca nget along
without a number ot other things.
I The adults are educated and cSn teach
the children, thus doing away with
the need of schools. The parents, be
ing religious, can train the younger
ones in the creeds, thus'doing away
.with ministers and churches.-People
can loan their money to one another
and thereby eliminate banks. They
can swap their old clothes or leari*
how to make home-spuns. thereby
greatly reducing expenses and actu
ally putting the clothing merchants
out of business.
"All trade is based upon a desire
of/ goods. Necessity is, mostly, but
an augmented desire. Advertising has
the function ot reminding people ot
t'eir requirements, but its greatest
function?a prime factor in all pro.
press and prosperity?Is the creating J
ci new desires; thereby stimulating
tiade and production and making for
the greatest possible degree of em
ployment.
