The Square Tiling
As The Advance sees it, the
Elizabeth City Shrine Club, in
eliminating K"ming devices and
carrying out the circus program
despite the' financial loss in
volved, has met a difficult situa
tion in the squarest way possible
under the circumstances, and
for the course taken deserves
the commendation of the com
munity.
There seldom was a time
when this newspaper was so
much in need of every cent of
?legitimate-revwuc-that?it-can.
command as now; but so thor
oughly does The Advance ap
preciate what it believes to be
the true position of the Eliza
beth City Shrine Club as a
whole, in the matter of this cir
cus, that it is willing to make
no claim whatever for the $40
worth of advertising space con
tracted for and used by the ad
vance agent of the show.
How Shall We Celebrate?
November 2 will be celebrat
ed in the schools of the nation
as Arbor Day. But how shall
we celebrate it in Elizabeth City
if we allow the trees on the;
school grounds to be cut ? It is
foolish to teach children to plant
trees without teaching them to j
conserve those already planted.
And the child.en will be quick
^to-See the inconsistency of it.
While other schools are plant
ing Harding memorial oaks in !
patriotic tribute to the late J
President, shall we ruthlessly1
cut dpwn the big oak on the high
school grounds as President |
Harding 'was cut down in the
prime of life and as President
Wilson was crippled with his
work unfinished?
It is now impossible to bring
back the life of the one leader
and the health of the other, but
we may still save our trees as
memorials to these great men,
if we have the foresight and
have it quickly.

The Advance is "as near you j
as your telephone," and is gl'id
to have you call whether you1
have news or want news.

There are matters in which a
Ismail town newspaper outvies a
'metropolitan service.
The following item in a front
page box, appeared in last Fri
day's issue of a New York
1 newspaper:
! ? The Sun and the Globe asks its
readers not to call on the telephone
for the results of the World Series
uuiii<
Hu|)|)iiiestt and Hooch
1 Happiness and hooch are
synonymous for some folksr
One can't escape a feeling of
pity for the negro defendant in
police court recently who, when
upbraided by the Prosecuting
Attorney for going on a spree,
said:
"That's the only way I ran
have a little fun."
One of the tragedies of life is
to observe into what futlie
! paths men turn in their search
I for happiness.
An attorney for the railroads
says that freight has nothing to
do with prices, citing the fact
1 that fish sell at. the .same- price
j in New York as they do at the
port in Maine where they are
docked when caught. But the
farmer knows better, both when
he buys fertilizer and when he
sells cotton. Spot cotton Wed
nesday delivered on the New
York market was above .30;
delivered at Norfolk it was only
.28%; and the Elizabeth City
price was still lower.
The answer read plainest in
a woman's eyes is the look a
small boy sees in his mother's
when they are visiting and he is 1
invited to a second helping of
icecream and cake.
Astonishing, according to the
News and Observer, is the num
ber ol North Carolina towns
that are building new hotels. Al
so astonishing, to the traveling
men, is the number that aren't.
After all occupation of the
Iiuhr by the French has hardly
involved the spilling of more
blood than a general coal strike
in the United States.
Frequently one reads in the
newspaper a story of a man still
living with a broken neck. Gen-!
erally, however, it is just living!
and that's all.

i Erect (iiiild lltiilding Among Other
Famous <<ulld* In t'ltj of
London
London, Oct. 18.?London pawn
brokers are going up In the world,
j The latest example of this is the
I erection of an eighteenth century
> guild buildings among the many
I other famous guilds of London.
The pawnbrokers will moreover in
the future cooperate on a plan slm
| ilar to the old guilds and will live up
to the reputation of the guilds, by
having elaborate annual dinners in
observance of all the holidays pecu
liar to their trade.
The trade in London has an an
cient record going back to the 13
century when the Lombard mer
chants were great money-lenders and
played the chief part in the exchang
es and money brokerage shops of
those days. They kept up connec
tion with the wealthy Italian repub
lics.
The pre-eminence of the Medici
family at Florence in commercial
and financial matters caused the
London merchants to adopt part of
the arms of this house aB a trade
sign, from which comes the familiar
three golden balls.

D'Annunzio Tells
His Life History
Italian'* Autoblonr?|4i) Which In
Said to lie Audacious Even
fur Today
Rome. Oct. lfc.?Gabrlele d'An
1 nuuzio, poet, statesman and soldier,
has leased from the Italian govern
ment the Villa Falconierl, and will
j relinquish his preseut residence on
Lake Garda. He promises to publish
I shortly two or three books, one of
i which, "About Me and Myself." is
, said to be autobiographical, auda
cious and out-spoken, even for these
. unreticent days. Another is called
"The Adventurer Without Adven
tures" and yet another, "The Aarch
angel of Asia." gives d'Annunzio's
impressions of the East.
The Villa Falconierl is one of the
oldest and most romantic of the love
ly 17th century villas which were
i laid out with so much taste and
charm by the luxury-loving princes
j of the Church as their summer resi
dences near Rome. It was acquired
twelve years ago by the then em
I peror of Germany, who had it fitted
j up as a resting-place for German ar
tists. literary men and officers wish
ting to winter in Rome. During the
! war it was confiscated by the Italian
, authorities.
Like all these country houses of
| the Renaissance, the grounds of the
I Villa Falconierl are full of statuary,
jxxautiful trees, and formal, exquisite
1 fountains and waterfalls. There is
I also a romantic lake, surrounded by
i cypresses, which Is said to be haunt
ed by the wraith of a water-nymph,
or perhaps by that of a young girl
of more modern days whose body,
like that of another Ophelia, was
! found floating there, crowned and
I covered with flowers.
