IMPORTANT ANNOI NCEM EXT Owing to the high cost of news print paper, and everything else that goes into the making of a newspaper. The Courier is forced to increase the subscription price, cl'.'ective on and after Aprii 1. 1 1 7. Subscriptions will be re ceived, both new and old, for one year at the old price lip to that time. The Courier's price after April 1st, ill be one year SI.. 10, months 7"-, 4 months .10. cash in advince. Every newspaper, that is be ing conducted in the int 'rest of the people and is supported by its subscript ion W-t and advertis ing patronage, is confronting a serious condition unless careful business methods are adopted. Until a year ago news print could be bought for 2c; today it is sell ing at more than 7e a pound, an increase of from three hundred to live hundred per cent. We shall use every effort to publish a newspaper that will fill the local need and worth more to our readers than the small price of $ 1 ..ri0 per year. Call to see us when you come this way.

Heart Disease Can be Controlled Heart disease is largely preventa ble and can bo controlled is the belief of the Association for the Prevention and Relief of Heart Disease. According to an investigation, considerable portion of the cases of heart disease should be considered distinctly nreventable. One of the most important relict measures discovered ior crinpico hearts was vocational training in suit able trades. It was found that un der proper supervision and control that those in such a precarious state of health could not only work and earn waces without injury to their hearts, but that it was of benefit to them.

Clean Up Day In keeping with the custom for many years Asheboro should have a clean up day, but it should be earlier in the spring than heretofore. More than one day should be devoted to the work. There is much of value to a com munity in having a genuine clean-up. After the clean-up should come the whitewash and finish. The planting of trees and flowers and shrubbery and the cleaning up and renovation of the entire premises means much, tor every clean up campaign means a campaign for health. Neatness and attractiveness are. valuable assets in any community. ! A clean up means the removal of, trash and refuse. It is a campaign, that beautifies any community greatly. ; Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C ASTO R I A Presnell & Brown Asheboro, N. C.
