Florida Plans Erect MonumentT o Harding No Southern Slutc lla? Kvrr S<i Honored u Kt-pulilicun Pres ident lint Morula ^ Hurtling \liuo-t \?

Florida may 1k> the first Southern State ever to erect a monument to the memory of a Ite publican President. Such a movement is taking? definite form here today, and the only serious obstacle which! seems to bo in the way of a' successful consumation of the project is the fact that so many sections of Florida are laying claim to the honor of being se-j lected as the site of the inemor-' ial. President Harding fell bims-lf a!-' most a part of Florida an?l Florida! looked upon him almost as >t native1 son. Mr. Hardline never regarded a, winter complete without a trip to this Stale. Ho loved all of it. from Jacksonville to Ivy West and, if lie' himself had been called to select a1 - *it**-for Iris memorial. .-hn unqu?A?ti ;n- . ?ably would have been an much per plexed us are the residents today of; this laud fruits and flowers. In traversing the state one finds) the impress and the memory of the lute President everywhere. There is I not u golf course on the ej*t coast j .Which be did hot know by heart. There is not an inlet on the Indian river which was a stranger to him. -Mr. Harding was not a Florida visi tor of the ordinary tourist type. He din not come clown here tor the spec tacle and show of the place. Of all the resorts along the Kast coast.' Palm lleach, with its glorification of the shallowest side of society, up-i pealed to him least of all. On the other hand some of the lesser known communities such as Cocoa. Vero. Pierce and Fort Lauderdale all were familiar ground to him. At the latter place they will cher ish a visit they forced upon Presi dent Harding. The schedule of bis houseboat trip did not call for a stop at Lauderdale, but it so Happens the river channel is rather narrow there, especially at the drawbridge. When the President's trim craft arrived it! was found that an "unruly" j dredge was blocking the channel. | The city authorities were oil, oh. so ! sorry that such an untoward thing ' should have happened. It probably j would be hours before the dredge could be moved out of the way. .Mean- I .time, why shouldn't Mr. Harding' come ashore for a brief reception and 1 a round of golf. Of course he did,' And when he returned to the harbor ' the dredge was nowhere to be seen.' ^Ir. Harding was not merely a 1 presidential visitor to Florida. He' used to come here long before he ev- I er dreamed of the White House. And | with him came a happy group of '.old | friends from .Marlon. Always the program was the same ? golfing, l house boating, fishing. After he be- 1 came President, Mr. Harding saw no reason why he should give up his old' custom of visiting the Southland ev ery year, and despite the vicissitudes of his oLflce he managed to keep it up to the end. There are a dozen or more spots along the east coast which might up- ? propriately be selected for the Hard- ' ing memorial and this is the great ! difficulty which confronts those be- ' hind the project. Florida cities and'! resorts are Inclined to be a bit Jeal- ? ous of each other and it is certain \\ that no matter what may be the out- ? come, of the state proposal, each of!' the communities which knew Mrj! Harding so well will have Its own'' memorial tablets or stones. Al-'] ready Miami Beach, where .Mr. Hard-)! ing made his Southcrmost head- ' quarters on most of his fishing and ! golfing trips, is endeavoring to buy1' a large tract of Government land ] north of the city proper to make ? over into a Harding memorial ' park. It may be in the. end that the Hirfllng Memorial Asocial iot) will | he appealed to select the site for ?Jie principal Harding memorial in the state which regarded the Ohioan at least as a partly adopted son. ?

TO FIGHT FAKES WELL AS WEEVIL County l ulls Vi ill Have l!tMi|)rraliim of (>ov ?-riiiiM'iit In Exposing I ran (luli'iil ScIhmih-s Every effort to prevent a repeti tion in Eastern North Carolina o f the ilisastrous and costly schemes of fight iug t 1m* l???ll weevil, which fol lowed close upon the heels of .he' pest in its march across the cotton bell, will be made by the Govern-' ment, acting in co-operation with the! agricultural agent of Pasquolunkj County, G. W. Kails, who has ar ranged a series of meetings in this County to let the farmers in on the inside story of the weevil and how! to get rid of him. Cotton farmers are advised not to spend uny money on the 'wise", plans recommended by crafty citizens who become, in some localities." almost as serious posts as those they seek to destroy. The Government has spent much time and effort in testing out meth ods of weevil control and scientific' plans have been evolved. A series of. lantern slides have been procured from Washington by Mr. Falls to use as illustrations for his talks. He wbs notified by wire on Thursday that the slides had been shipped. "Every farmer who expects to; grow cotton should see these pictures! and 'learn what the Government has found out about the weevil," says .Mr. Falls, "The best methods of, controlling weevil are shown. The1 farmer should be warned against the' the thousand different methods' which have cost the Cotton growers' of Alabama. Georgia and South Car-, olina a laVge sum of money and the loss of a quantity of cotton which' might have been saved. "The Government offers the farm-! ers of Pasquotank County this pro-} lection free of charge and they will | without doubt show their apprecia tion by their attendance at the meet ings." C. Job. secretary of the Eliza beth City Chamber, of Commerce, and M. P. Jennings , superintendent of County schools, have been invited by Mr. Palls to attend any of the1 meetings and to take part in the d is- ! cusslon. Both have signified their j intention to be present at as many meetings as possible. Heavy shipments of meat are be ing made to the Norfolk market from this section. MUSIC CONTEST ENDS ' FEBRUARY THE FIRST Chapel Hill. Jan 21 ? The final day on which North Carolina Composers may submit their musical composi~ j lions in the Shirley cup contest is February 1. 1924. it was announced by Paul J. Weaver, president of the1 Music Teachers Association, here to day. The Shirley Loving Cup. is offered by Dean Shirley of Salent College, is given every year by the Dean for the best piece of musical composition submitted during year by a North Carolinian. ?There is no limitation as the kind of music." Mr. Weaver pointed out. "In the past the prize has been won in different years by a group of_ songs, piano pieces, organ compost-' lions and music for string instru ments. The contest is open to any North Carolina resident. In other* years there have been many entries, but so fVir this year there have been but | few compositions submitted for the contest, it was said. Anyone com- . templuting entering the contest should communicate with Paul Weaver at Chapel Mill for full parti culars and rules of the contest. Th" contest will be conducted on the purely merit ba.-is and the real minus of the contestants will not be known to the Judges until select ed picce has been chosen, it was de clared. .Manuscripts will be signed widi a lion .tie plume name of the composer accompanied by a sealed i envelope witlr- the real name of the composer in it.

(Around the Corner) At The Advance Shop 1 1 Advertising Needs Time To Develop Opportunities Give Advertising Time: Th.it is the thing it needs most. The advertising agency is the pre cocious infant afriong the professions. One of the oldest agencies in New York prints on its letterhead the date of its founding, ?md that Sate is 18?9! Think of it ? almost ten years after the Civil War; and the bAys of the Civil War ftre still alive among us. Law traces its ideals and traditions hack to Moses; but even law is not free from missteps. The physician takes his Hippocrntic oaths, and Hippocrates lived 100 B. C. Yet it was only yesterday when doc tors discovered that bad teeth can cause anything serious. Is it fair to expect perfection in a profession that counts only a single generation to its credit? Should it occasion surprise when even a wen laid advertising campaign goes wrong? Is it any wonder that workers whose chief raw mmaterial i^ human nature should have to confess that they cannot always tell in advance just how that raw material will act? We are learning. We have just passed through one great cycle of infla tion and deflation. We know now what happens to the automobile business and the shoe business and the perfumary business when prices go up like a rocket and come down like a stick. How much wiser counsellors to our customers wo shall be when another cycle swings around. How much better we shall be able to read the signs of the storm, hav ing passed through one such tempest. Do you remember the references in English novels to those old law firms ? "solicitors ? In Which sons have succeeded their fathers to the third and fourth generation? Each new generation of lawyers has handled the 'affairs of the new generation among its clients, dealing out counsel based on rev.jrds which run back for a hundred years or more. There is no reason why advertising agencies, too, should not outlive their founders nnd the successors of their founders, growing wiser with each generation and gathering a priceless possession of re- ? corded experience. Think of an advertising agency in 2020 being able to turn back in the records to 1920 and say to his clients : "In the Kail of 1920 this happened in silk* and this happened in leather and this happened in wheat, and the selling problems which followed were so and so. The present situation has certain aspects that are similar; and the recommenda tions which we are presenting are based on a recognition of that fact." We are gaining experience; we are growing more and more valuable as ad viser* every year. Don't expect the impossible. Give advertising time. -SJi=ji=JiHJiEJiHJiHJlHJL5JimiJfiJl!Jl?.5JllJl!JlUL!JlfiHUl5Jlim]??? ? ? | Have You Seen Our New ? I SODA FOUNTAIN? I a ? ? ? ?

Foot beauty at its best, is the foot shod in a graceful, refined shoe which permits a graceful natural carriage.
