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.

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. Gelfand's Relish and Mayonnaise at all good grocers.

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. \OU can win DOTII a Velle TourinR tar and a Special Prize of $25, by i"ter.'.nB.
