MILK COWS, PASTURES AM) FENCES (By C. R. Hudson)' Slogan: "A cow for every farm, a pasture for every cow, a fence fei* every pasture." Although there are thousands el undersized boys ami girls with we; i bones, Uid teeth, and dull inte Uet starving for the cheapest and be of foods--milk—} et, there is mil) •one cow to every fifteen persr. u i> fifty of our ' eastern counties. I)i W. S. 'Rankin, state Health oiliest , says that failure to use milk in suf 1 ficient quantity and of pure qnal.t; with infancy, and childhood, is, 11 a' probability,.the greatest sin that par ents 'commit against their chi dren L'pon an aedquate milk supply,, thr future of the child, and of the race i. dependent, more, perhaps, that on an;, other single thing. The Remedy Obviously, the remedy is to get more milk cows, not necessarily pure bred, bat good milk coWs. .The aver age family, consisting of three chit'-' dren am) two adults, should have-fot best nutrition, a quart of milk each for the children and one pint ear! for the adults ,or one gallon p*r ih; This is just about what the averagt .cow produces. Hut be careful. Before gett'ng too many cow* we must first have paatur for them.

It has long since become an established fact that a newspaper is the miVror of a thrifty commu lity. It is also the eye and mouthpiece oil that community'. Publicity is a Rival moving- force in these times of liv«j commeiciaf activities. A newspaper is not only the most intelligent force in advertising a town ■ and keeping it on the map, but it is also a telling force between the : elloi and the buyer. It brings the t\v > to gether an (Ithereby creates trade. It 1.-. economical means of draw ing attention to a town as well a;; the quickest mode "of communication lie tween the citizens of a community. Its advertising columns, where the live, wide awake business men sec the advantage of letting the publii know who they are and where they do business ,in a line spirit of I her ailty, tells the story of a town's var ious entei prises. This catches ill eye of the public an tlriv ts it upon the IOWIIS with a live newspaper. Did you ever stop to think, Mi Business Man, that in this hurrying age many peope are continually mov ing about; new people move in who are not acquainted with the local mer chants, the manufacturers, the various news, aa well us the older inhabi tants, and it is regarded by the most successful businesses as the liest HUM I - iuni through which to keep their trades constiuitly before the public. People look iu the newspaper for what they want. They haven't liifne, like in the olden days gone by, to walk around-' and hunt bargains. lYopli .ire in a hurry. The newspaper ear rios yolir trade an invitation into their homes and serves as a silent sales man—in fact, your advertisement works for you while you sleep. The advertising advantages of a paper to a town is not its only value. The local news, the social go-sip, which will be found in no other paper, creates an enthusiasm which gives life and energy to a place. It helps neighbors to know about the achieve ments of each other.- It stimulates town' pride and lets the world Know what jou are doing. It is its gio I as i weekly, letter from home to those at a distanci'l It gives encourage , incut, and baoat to local ciiterjn ises they would not otherwise: get.. The. value of a newspaper to a conin uni ty can liaidty IK- estimated. The faith a town puts into its news papers is the faith thai bui'ds tovns. Faith unlocks tin- door to power; The IMiwi'i' of the press cannot lo esti'iiat ed in words. A successful paper must have the cooperation of the commun ity. lively advertiser —and every man in business should advertise— and every subscriber is the maker of a good paper. His patronage in either case is the lifeldood of the enlei'i rise The unity of the whole, behind and backing the publisher—makes the best paper possible in any eot.nmun ty. Put your need of a good news paper in the hands of faith anil its publisher. Faith in the enterprU', and back of that faith a hearty am! cheerful patronage. Don't ;u-k how. why or when. Just do you. levvl best Voi' mir tnwii pafer, and have in abiding faith, which is tlie grriitlnir acle worker of the age. Many a place has grown from a mere hamlet w a big thriving town by the efforts of its newspaper, and the faith its citizens had in it, and backed up that faith with coopera tion with the publisher.

Tin reason is simply that when a fartnei depends on selling all he makes am buys what he needs for food am feeds," that there is seldom anything left. In the central piedmont, anil mountain counties, they grow what they need and sell the surplus foi buying the extras. The diversified fai mers are healthier, happier anil bet ter off by so doing—and so are their farms.

ONE-SIIIED News and Observer. To the Editor: The offer to cancel all allied debts reminds us of the old maid that belonged to the church in which osme one was always straying "from the straight and narrow way and asking for forgiveness. At last the preacher was guilty of kissing a sla ter. He admitted hi ; guilt and asked forgiveness. As the question was be ing voted on and the sister was call ed she arose and said: "Brethren and sisters, I've betjp a member of this church for thirty years and it has been kissing and forgiving and forgiv ing and kissing and I've had all the forgiving to do and none of the kisa ing; so I vote no." It seems that the United States will have all of the forgiving to do. JAMES DEMPSEY BULLOCK. Wilson, N. C. Elder W. B. Harrington was a pleasant caller at the office today. ,MrrJ".
