ER HOUSEKEEPER NEEDS THE VOTE Ballot Is .Necessary to Protect the Home Under Changed " Conditions- WOMAN'S VOICE IS NEEDED. Housekeeping today U not what It wed to be; One hundred yean ago bur great grandmothers spun the cloth and made tha clothes for the family. They employed the family ' cobbler for a week at a time, who made shoes for the year " from leather cured and tanned on the premises. They baked the. bread, churned the butter, cured the meat, and made the candles; In short, housed under their roofs all the activities that ministered to 4he necessities and comforts of the family. Today all these processes are car ried 00 outside of the home. Tbs shoes; are made In factories, the clothes go through the -sweatshops, the meat Is cocd by big .companies, the bread Is made at the bakeries, and the butter comes from the cream eries. . v ; Instead of living In houses open on all sides to Uie sun, we have the tene ment bouse ; instead of water directly from a well or spring, we have piped water; Instead of the simple problem of letting the small amount of .car tage decay In 'the sun., we have The ast problem of a city's disposal. - All-of these matters of food, cloth. bousing, water and garbage are sub ject to legWatloo.

A steadily n ; creasing expense account .makes this action necessary .and a better newspaper and a greater influence justifies it. Five years ago two : dol lar would buy more of the things required to - publish a newspaper than one -dollar will buy now. So even . after the price of the paper is increased to two dollars it does not yield as much profit as it- did when the price was one dollar. All the better class weeklies in the State - have advanced their rates and ; in some States they have gone to $2.50 and even -$3 r. a year.; It is our -ultimate aim to give "the people of , Carteret county as good - a weekly newspaper as " is published in North Carolina. We can not believe that the - public expedts us to do this at a fi .nancial loss. With the co operation of the -people the News will become a power ful factor . in the - develop ment of Carteret county and its success .therefore is r.s much of a benefit ; to the public as to those who oper ate it. -Until 'September subscriptions will be receiv ed at the old rale U.50 but . for not more than two years in advance ' -Beaufort News, Incorpor ated. - . v Vv.
