ADVERTISING NORTH CAROLINA Movement Attracting Attention Troughout The Country • The movement inaugurated by North Carolinians, Incorporated, to raise a fund to impartially ad vertise North Carolina to the nation is attracting attention throughout the country. Consid erable publicity has already been obtaiued through the large metro polian newspapers and a number of national magazines inspired by the activity of this movement. The December issue of the manu facturers Record carries an ftiticle entitled "North Carolinians, Inc., To Aid Industrial Development of Their State," which reads as follows: "Iu the organization of North Carolinians, Inc., the business leaders of the State have taken a most important step. The State has vast undeveloped resources iu land, mineral, in power. Some of the members present at a recent meeting of the organization de clared that North Carolina can well support 12,500,000 neo,»le, or five times its present population. In view of the fact that the den sity ot population per square mile in Rhode Island is now more than ten times than in North Carolina, this seems a conservative estimate. "In North Carolina, as through out the South, there is a great, fundamental need "for industrial development. It is. often said that the towns depend directly, and the cities indirectly, upon the prosperity of the farmers, in a sense this is true; but it is no more true than is, its corollary, which is that the farmers depend upon.industry and commerce for a market for their products. Un less there is such a balance of non-farmers to farmers as will enable the latter tQ dispose of all they produce beyond their own needs, iheir products glut the markets and sell for ruinous prices, if at all. "Occasionally we hear of in stauces in which individual com munities have earned prosperity by diversifying or increasing their crops, or improving their selling methods, or both. Where only a few individual communities do this they can market their pro ducts and make money; and as our population is cons f antly growing, we steadily absorb the gradual increase resulting from this slow increase of production. But should the efforts of farm de monstrators, agricultural colleges and magazines and all the others working to bfing about diversifi cation and increased yield per man (or per acre) be rewarded with such swift and tremendous success as to double ou»put in a single year, their success would be swallowed up in a iceneral bankruptcy or over-production. The great aud fundamental need of North Carolina industry, therefore, is for a rapid inorease of industrial development, a de velopment that will set up an in satiable demand for all the products the farmers can supply." Americans Ahead. Upon returning from Europe re cently, Dr. Frank Crane, in "Cur rent Opioion," saidvthat in neither France, Britain, Italy, Netherlands, nor Germany could he direct decent telephone service. Telephone ser vice, as we understand/it, is un . known there. / He pointed out that while we in vented the telephone, all the leading nations have been liberty to buy instruments and sit up their own systems. The superior service in the United States he ascribes, first, to the fact that ours is the only tele phone system which from the begin ning seemed to And "the fight mau st every stage of its development, to turn it into the marvfloußly efficient instrument it has become; second, ours is the only government which has had the wisdom to let the tele phone alone, to let it grow up and do its beneficent work in a free manner. Everywhere else it is usu ally an ill-equipped, underfed, frow zitv-uniformed soldier of the state — the war-making state which needs it to assist in mobilizing the people." The Primary Defended ' . The Staiily Nows-llerald. ! To what do you attribute the increasing Democratic majorities in this county, we asked a local leader, a few days ago. This I gentleman very promptly answer ed: "To the Democratic prima ries, fairness in election roanage ments, and the Australian ballot. Our dc)uuty Democractic primary has removed every element of ring rule? It has for that reason brought the party closer .to the average Democratic voter and caused him to feel a keener inter est in 'its success. The people waut nothing but a square deal," this gentleman went on to say, "and through' the Democratic primary they feel that vliey are getting a square deal. ANid the statement that people want a square deal, applies to the Repub lican voters as well as the Demo crats." This gentleman is pretty close to the truth. The county primary has eliminated "ring rule" in tli parry. Who hue heard any on speak of ring rule since we intro duced the Democratic primary as a means of nominating'our Demo cratic candidates? And that the county executive committee will not think of a»blishing the primary and •going back to the old convention system, goes [ without saying. ' Save Before You Spend Representatives of .the mining, lumber, oil, automobile and other lines of business have been invit ed by the National Association of Manufacturers, cooperating with the National Grange, to attend a conference to declare war against mounting taxes. Figures gathered by the Nation al Association of Manufactures show that to meet interest charges on local dobt alone, taxpayers of cities, counties and states are now assessed $500,000,000 a year, aud that |40,000,000 to $5G,000,000 a year has been added to these in terest charges since 1922. While the national debt is de creasing, that of political subdi visions has increased until it will surpass the national, total, unless drastic action is taken. A Business Asset "One-third of the country's homes have telephones, aud it is conservative to estimate that they buy two-thirds of the advertised commodities used," says a recent advertisement for the Literary Digest. As a matter of fact, the number of business transactions closed over the telephone and the amount of goods purchased over the tele phone, is one of the reasons for America's industrial growth. If the telephone was eliminated or even reduced in efficiency to the standards tolerated in other countries, it would be a physical impossibility to carry on a great portion of the business which our nation enjoys today. liens pay a profit of $2 per head according to late experiments by poultry workers-of State College.

THE ALAMANCE GRAHAM, «. O. Bureau Of Health Education, North Carolina State Board Of Health SHINGLES THIS is a condition about which there is much superstition. The reason lor this is be cause there really isn't so very much known about shingles, and ignorance always causes much superstition. This is true of all diseases as it is true of "haunted houses'" and ghosts. When the perfectly natural circulation of air or wind whistles through some peculiar hole about a house and makes its weird sighing or rattling noise, the ignorant say it is ghosts. Not know ing the exact cause the mind conjures up imaginary causes. Lack of ac curate knowledge is the cause of much superstition about shingles. So it is with th© unknown in every phase of life. As people learn facts the superstitions and supernaturals disappear. In times past there were a thousand reputed "cures" for consump tion because the cause was then not known and there was no cure. Those who chose to exploit human igno rance for personal gain made wild claims wfilch later knowledge proved absolutely falae. Knowledge has now become so universal regarding tuber culosis that it is comparatively rare that a quack tries to self a patent medicine "cure all". Shingles is closely akin to "fever blisters" and is an irritation of the cutaneous nerve endings following the course of an intercostal nerve. These nerves branch off on either side from the spinal cord as the ribs branch off from the spinal column. -The nerves from neither side cross the midline in front to the other side and hence, of course, the eruption cannot cross over to the other side. If the correspond ing nerves on both sides should hap pen to be effected at the same time then the person could have shingles on both sides. But this is a rare co incident. The irritation of the nerve causes severe neuralgic pain in the region which is soon followed by the appear ance of the blisters. The cause of the irritation is some toxin circulating in the blood, usually from some one of the fevers. Sometimes the continued use of drugs, like arsenic, will cause shingles. The logical treatment is to rid the system of this irritating toxin. Often a purgative to thoroughly clean out the intestinal tract is all that is needed. Soothing applications may be applied to the eruption to ease the burning and itching but such local ap plications will not hasten a cure. ' .

As a matter oi fact, however, forty per cent of our mammoth wheat crop never leaves the farm at all, but is used for seed purposes and feeding farm animals, states the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation In a survey recently com pleted on wheat consumption. It is U«ed most abundantly for feeding in those sections of the country having a wheat surplus and a shortage oil the usual feed crops such as corn, oats and barley.

The Increase In tractor farming and the decline In farm horses of 3,624,000 head from 1920 to 1925 has greatly reduced the demand for oats. The crop this year will be only 1,204,000,000 bushels, ac cording to the latest official estimates, the Foundation states. Last year the crop totaled 1,512,000,000 bushels, while the five-year average is only 1,827,000,000 bushels. About 45,945,- 000 acres were' devoted to oats this U. S.

Like corn, most of the oats is con sumed by live stock. Yery little of it is sold and not more than 2 per cent of the crop is exported, as a rule. Since the demand as a horse feed has declined, a larger percentage Is being consumed by hogs and cattle.
