error which sent the market down.
And in the meantime, a plan ad'
vised by Secretary Wallacu for send

Department of Agriculture to be
broadcast for the farmers by radio,
would appear to give indication of a

With much of tl/e gasol i nu
that is sold in Elizabeth Citv
brought here in tankers and
pumped directly, from the
tankers into the storage tanks
from which it is sold to the re
tailers one wonders why gas is
no lower in Elizabeth City than
in Piedmont towns which must
get all of their supply by rail.
After you have searched
through the bulky pages of a
big city newspaper for the one'
small item of news in which you
are interested we hope you are!
properly thankful that The Ad
vance is no bigger and that in it
you can find the news you want
to read without a half hour,
hunt for it.
Elizabeth City lias had a bit
more than its share ol' hectic
excitement for the last few
days. Here's hoping that
with LeRoy White in custody
we can j?et back to something
like normalcy.
We're hoping that the Eden-1
ton policeman who captured
LeRoy White ?ets more than
the $loo reward offered by
Elizabeth City authorities. The
reward would most assuredly
have been increased had not
White been arrested on Mon
day.
Now didn't the Frank 11J
Simonds article in this news
paper Saturday make the news
of the British elections more in-;
telliffible and "NiterestinK to
you?
If you could take a look each
day, as we do,, at The Advance j
of just a year a(?o you could
plainly see that this newspaper
is Advancing.
The Advance hopes 1o jjivo its
readers fuller service than ever
before on the Baptist State Con
vention this week.

exploits the new flat flounces and has two of them cut Into long drooping
