An unfortunate error in Sinkoe's

Stein to almost have a brain storm '
Wednesday morning when a number
of eager purchasers flocked into his
store to buy $35 dresses for $11.75.
However, the error, which was
caused by a last minute correction
after going to press, was discovered
in time to make a correction before
printing a number of bills.
Mr. Stein had all the clerks ex

ELLENBORO SCHOOL
HAS BRIGHT FUTURE
Successful Year's Work Re
cently Closed—Aims and
Accomplishments.
Ellenboro, May 17.—The Ellen
boro school completed the most suc
cessful year's work in the history of
the school on April 28, with a
bright future for one of the most
successful schools in the county.
Commencement was well attended,
at each exei'cise the house was filled.
Large crowds attended the ball
games. Every one enjoyed the dinner
on April 28.
School will re-open about the mid
dle of August. The people of Ellen
boro are very much interested in
their school. They are always ready
to help its progress.
We added the eleventh grade this
year, and graduated five students,
which Rutherford county will be
proud to own. The addition of the
eleventh grade and uniting work on
the part of the school authorities,
greatly increased the high school.
Our enrollment in high school rose
from 59 to 87. The average daily
attendance from 32 to 75. We had
one of the strongest high school
factulties in the''county, all four
were graduates of standard colleges,
with three of the four men. The
state department has informed us
that Ellenboro high school is being
placed on the accredited list this
spring in group 2, class A. The high
est group an eight months school can
reach in North Carolina.
We are adding an agricultural
teacher to our school for next school
term. This will no doubt draw
farm boys to our school to seek bet
ter methods of farming. The older
men are much interested in this ad
dition. Domestic science will be
added just as early as we can possibly
do so. In other words, it is the aim
of the school authorities to make El
lenboro school the center of attrac
tion of the entire community.
We are planning to place the ele
mentary school j|n the accredited
list the next school term. Thus we
are employing teachers with this
aim in view. So far five teachers
have been employed.
We are adding four rooms this
summer to take care of our increase
in pupils. Last year we had eight
teachers in the system, next term
we will have 13 or 14.
In the field of athletics, Ellen
boro high school took a prominent
part in the county. She had a fair
basket ball team, the best in the
county for a school for her size. She
undoubtedly had the best baseball
team in the county. She won two
games from each team in the coun
ty with ease. Scoring 93 runs, while
her opponents scored 17. It is true
that another school shall be called
champions on account of the time in
which the county series was ar
ranged. Our school being out and
our boys scattered.
The teachers and business men
gave quite a few prizes to stimu
late work in the school. The best all
around student in each grade secur
ing a prize. The best music pupil,
best student in science, best debater,
orator and reading. Those who were
neither tardy or absent were also
awarded prizes.
Following is the list of best all
around students in each grade:
First—James Ledfoi'd.
Second—Worth Allen.
Third—Margaret Pruette.
Fourth—Addie Hamrick.
Fifth—Miles Jones.
Sixth—Jennie Lou Hamrick.
Seventh—James McDaniel.
Eighth—Kathleen Turner.
Ninth—Nannie Mae Helton.
Tenth—Charles Bland and Zennie
Allen, tied.
Eleventh—Henry Harrill.
Those graduating were:—Vera
Hamrick, Henry Harrill, Brister
Smart, Louise Tedder, Lucy Wright.
Best debater—Louise Tedder.
Best orator—Louise Tedder.
Best reading—Morie Biggerstaff.
Best science work—George Helton.
Best music pupil—Ray Blanton.
Mittie Lee Bland also deserves men
tion in her music class.
Eleven received certificates for be
ing neither tardy nor absent, also a
prize from their teacher.
George Helton has not missed a
day in five years.
Three were awarded prizes for not
missing a word in spelling. One of
these being Nannie Mae Helton, who
has not missed a. word in five years.
NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING
Brings World's Best Values To
Your Very Door.
Newspaper advertising is of vital
importance to every man or woman
who spends money for the necessi
ties or luxuries of Ufe. By making
a daily practice of reading the news
paper advertisements, you keep in
close touch with the latest offerings
and lowest prices.
Well advertised brands of merch
andise are not only dependable in
quality, but are also, as a rule, the
most economical. Here is a very
concrete case of why this is true:
Mr. Warren Wright, president of
the Calumet Baking Powder Co., is
the authority for the statement that
they spend millions of dollars in
newspaper advertising. This tremen
dous volume of advertising creates
a gigantic demand for Calumet—-a
demand that is maintained by the
unrivalled quality of Calumet.
As demand grows, manufacturing
costs are reduced, and the price of
Calumet, to the user, is brought
down to the low point of economy.
Calumet advertising, like all other
advertising back of a meritorious
product, goes on record in black
and white as to the value of Calumet
Baking Powder. It promises the
housewife better bakings at lower
baking costs and the Calumet com
pany must live up to their printed
pledge, which, of course, they do,
and have done for the last 37
years.
Newspaper advertising is localized
advertising. Consequently, it benefits
the dealer as well as the consumer,
because it reaches buyers who can
transact business with him. It
moves the goods from his shelves. It
keeps his stock fresh and clean. It
enables him to sell the highest
quality merchandise at the lowest
possible prices.
The very fact that a dealer carries
and features heavily advertised
brands is clear evidence of his sin
cerity in serving his customers to
•
the best advantage. He might tem
porarily make a bigger profit through
the sale of unadvertised brands but
he could not give his trade the values
made possible by advertising that
decreases costs through increased
demand.
If you want reliable merchandise
at reasonable costs—if you want
goods that are backed by faith, the
integrity and the printed pledge of
the manufacturer—read the adver
tisements and remember that the mil
lions of dollars spent by prominent
manufacturers is a mighty factor in
giving your money greater buying
power.

Is Your Car
a Steamer?
The use of cheap bootleg gasolines, that
are more widely sold than you imagine,
has i uined the delicate "digestive organs''
of thousands of cars. Slow pick up, jerky
motions, hard to start, loss of power, are
a few of the effects from such fuel. Some
so called gasoline is watered, others dilut
ed with various chemicals claimed to
eliminate knocks, etc.
Don't be a sucker and use any kind of
gas—use only Texaco gasoline—the stan
dard of all. Lightning on the pick up and
high on power.'
Your car deserves the best and
WE HAVE IT!
