A new style of developing business is being seen. Take national advertising, for in stance. According to the figures of the American Newspaper Publishers' association, this form of advertising in the newspapers increased nearly 7 per cent in 1926 over the previous year. The country is increasing in population at about the rate of 1 1-2 per cent annually. That means that national advertising is increasing a bout five times as fast as population It seems probable that retail store advertising is increasing at least as fast as in the case of nationally ad vertised goods. The reason for this is simple, that business men have dis covered that it is posible to make an enormous increase in business by let ting people know what they have to sell and what the reasons are for pat ronizing them. Some claim that this results in in ducing people to. buy more than they can afford, as wants are developed in their minds that they did not have before. But the result is also that as people find newer, and better ways of living, thy are induced to work and save in order to buy this new equipment. And in the majority of cases they get direct benefits from the new forms of equipment that in crease their producing power. The business men would not be using advertising so much more free ly, if they had not amply demonstrat ed that it pays. They find that the sale of any good article, or the re ceipts of any good store, can be enormously increased through the power of publicity. They have reach ed the conclusion that advertising is an essential element in a growing business, and that it reduces costs by so enlarging trade that their ov erhead and sales expenses are rela tively less per article sold.

That has not been followed and we did not expect it to be and they good roads are very useful things, but so are hospitals and very often those who use the roads badly need hospital attention." Now my opinion about that is that nine tenths of them kind of cripples are caused by whiskey and they aint trying to get rid of it much. Now my friends I think that this county has more burden on it than it can tote now. I think it time for us all to go and register both men and wo men and cast our ballot against any hospital in the county yet until some of our county debts are paid. I think it well enough for the county to let us all know, is the state going to pay back any of the road money that it borrowed? If so when and how much and what will be the total val ue of property in the county on the new assessment basis? These and ether facts ought to be furnished the public in order that the people may vote intelligently, but I think no in telligent man or woman will vote for any more bonds on this county. If they do there ought to be asylums built in place of a hospital. A coun ty is a partnership of the people who live in it. Partners in business have a right to know all about its affairs Now I think every one ought to express themselves about this matter, so let me hear from someone else. From a friend of protection, E. L. McCAIN. Newport, N. C. OPPOSES HOSPITAL BONDS. Editor of the News: Your attitude toward the propos ed bond issue of eighty five thousand dollars for a county hospital, as out lined in the able editorial on this sub ject last week, should meet with gen eral approval throughout the county. Undoubtedly we need such an insti tution, but at this time it would be almost a crime to fasten any addi tional indebtedness upon our people and raise again the crushing taxes with which they are already burden ed. We simply cannot afford to spend any more money en improve ments at present, especially on an institution which will require a heavy appropriation annually to pay for its losses in maintenance. No time could have been more in appropriate for the launching of a hospital campaign, for the local pa pars are ,full of an appalling list of delinquent taxes, advertisements of hundreds of homes to be sold for tax es, and the people in general are in rebellion over high taxes and pros pects of still higher ones to come. There does not seem to be any chance whatever for the bonds to carry, but I myself wish to go on record as be ing absolutely opposed to the issu r nee of bonds in any amount either for the purchase or building of a hos pital at present. When the proper time comes, when our taxes begin to decrease instead of continually in creasing, and our revenues warrant investment in an institution which will add to our annual deficit, I will support a movement for a new and modern hospital, to be located upon at least a full city block for grounds, and where it will be most accessible for the mass of people in the county. Until that time I will vote against such bonds. OTIS H. JOHNSON, M. D. Morehead City, N. C. Our dictionary premium offer is guaranteed to give satisfaction.

Edited by Edith Powell County Home Agent And Hugh Overstreet County Farm Agent SHORT COURSE FOR WOMEN. For several months, I have been talking to women of the Home Dem onstration Clubs about the Short Course to be given at State College the week of July 4th to 9th. This will be the third year that such a program has been carried out by the Division of Home Demonstration Work, and so it is still in its infancy, but it bids fair to be a most vital part of the work. Women from all over the state gather at Raleigh for this intensive work for a week each year. They drop their household cares and turn their children over to a willing relative and come prepared to enjoy every minute of their stay The courses given are the same as those given by the Home Agents of the counties, except the women get in a week what they would get in several months from the'.r agent. These courses are: Bod and Nutri tion, Clothing, Household Furnishings Poultry, and Home Gardening. The course in Foods includes food for the little child; feeding the ex pectant mother that her child may start life with a normal body; dress ing up the plain meal to tempt the appetite and please the aesthetic sense of the home folks; the demon stration of good hot-weather dishes and suggestions for suitable combi nations for a well-balanced meal. The food instructors will give, in addi tion, the preservation - of hog meat that much of what is now eaten in a too heavy protein diet may be spread out through the months of the year. In house furnishings the comfort able and atractive American home will he . considered. Unit one will treat room improvement as applied to the living room and dining room- Unit two will consider these points as applied to bedrooms. The possi bilities of doing over old furniture, how a woman may use the dye pot in doing over old furnishings, draperies and window treatment, household tex tiles, selection of pictures and pic ture hanging will be other features of the instruction in house furnish ings. In clothing the following unites will be offered: 1. Children's clothing, covering selection, construction, remodeling and care. The child's part in this program will also be considered 2. The' sewing machine and dress finishes. This will consider acces sories as well as finishes, both to be quickly fashioned by the use of ma chine attachments.' The care and regulation of the machine will be demonstrated. 3. Economy and style in clothing. Subjects treated will be dyeing, re modeling, foundation garments, and good selection. Courses in gardening and poultry will be outlined by the Divisions of Horticulture and Poultry. No woman may select mDre than two courses. Clothing and house hold furnishings may not be elected by the same person. In the after noon there will be given in addition the subjects listed above the follow ing which any or all students may attend. 1. The Gracious Hostess. This course includes the niceties of re ceiving and entertaining guests and serving refreshments. 2. Tha use and care of the sew ing machine. 3. The use and care of the oil stove. The cost for board will be $7.50 for the week. Each woman will take sheets, counterpane and towels be cause we shall use the College dor mitory. The Board of Education is lending a school truck in which to make the trip. This will greatly re duce the expense of the trip and put it within reach of some women who might not go otherwise. We are greatly indebted to the Board for this assistance. The women who are planning to go from this county are: Mrs. C. F. D. Bell of the Harlowe Club; Mrs. M. R. Whitley and Mrs. Bertice Dickinson of the Core Creek Club; Mrs. J.)hn Sabiston, Miss Blanche Dudley, Miss Lena Norris, and Mrs. Rose Merrill of the Wire Grass Club; Mrs. Cleve land Davis, Mrs. Clayton Guthrie and Miss Lola Lewis of Harker's Island; Mrs. D. M. Salter and Miss Florence Carraway of Merrimon Club; Mrs. E. K. Morris, Mrs. Howard Nelson, and Mrs. D. Mason of the Atlantic Club; Mrs. Odell Smith of the White Oak Club; and Mrs. G. F. Willis and Mrs. Ruby Willis of the Wiliston Club; and Mrs. J. I. Mizelle of Newport. EDITH POWELL, . Home Dem. Agt. DOES CARTERET NEED MORE MONEY CROPS? The Irish potato crop that has just been harvested and marketed has been a success, financially, for some few farmers in Carteret County, but taken as a whole the majority of planters made very little money from this crop, due to the small yields, caused by the continued drouth. I have had a few small farmers tell me this has been the best year they have experienced since they have been planting potatoes, but you will find this class to be very small. The results of this season's pota to crop causes us to feel more and more the need of a greater diversifica tion of crops in the potato growing section of Carteret County. We fanners have been told often that it is dangerous to "put all of our eggs in the same basket" I have in mind a few farmers who are prac ticing growing a- variety of crops for the local markets, and practically ev ery one of these farmers are getting ahead, judging from outside appear ances, and information obtained by making inquiries through the bus iness men of the towns. You may answer this by saying that if all farmers were to grow products for the local markets, they would not be able to dispose of them. This is true so far as the local markets go, but what we need to do is to grow these products in- quantities sufficient to be able to come together and load cars to be sold in the Northern and Western markets. I am often asked the question, why don't the farmers in Carteret County grow such truck crops as beans, cucumbers, lettuce, strawberries, etc. in large enough quantities to justify the loading in solid car loads? I am sure we have as good, if not better soils as any section in eastern North Carolina. So lets wake up and get something start ed in Carteret. At the next meeting of the board of County Commissioners, I am go ing to ask them to apopint a County Board of Agriculture for Carteret, to work with the County Agent in working out a definite plan of work for the County for the next twelve months. Most of the Counties in the stat" already have their board of Ag riculture. HUGH OVERSTREET, County Agent.
