The small country printer is the principal sufferer from government sale of stamped, return addressed envelopes. Government envelopes with return addresses printed on them, are sold at the same unit price whether the purchaser takes five hundred or a million. The loss sustained by the government on small orders is made up by high profits on quantity orders As a result, private envelope manu facturing concerns can furnish the large consumer printed envelopes at less than the government's figures. But the small printer is powerless. He would be the natural recipient of the five hundred or one thousand lot orders that large manufacturers would not bother with. It is this kind of business that government compe tition takes away from hintf The government is using all the advan tages of its credit and purchasing power, conferred on it by the people, and encroaching on the livelihood of Some of its citizens. Those politicians who are now I busy telling us how to bring back prosperity might take time to reflect that one way to bring prosperity to the country printer would be to give him a chance to pursue his business without government competition.— Asheboro Courier. WONDERFUL CO-OPERATION. The Courier appreciates the won derful spirit of co-operation display ed by our local business men when approached Wednesday morning and asked to finance a page ad calling attention to Trade Day in Forest City. Not a single merchant, hurried ly visited, failed to respond at once, and all are sincere in their efforts to make Trade Day a real trade day in our city. Not only with their special low prices for the day, but with their cordial welcome.- and cour ■*! "Tf' teous treatment do the business men try to make all' visitors welcome. Come to Forest City next Monday and you will be-. well, repaid; meet your friends heTe and make your r «elf at home. ♦ Jr"*. v/ .v i ; . i L'* 11 ■ MAN SHOT SUNDAY. Morgan Linder, of the Mt.

TED ALCOCK | ;♦ # > i i i Vacation time is here and along {with it comes the discomiorts, such jas sunburn, poison ivy, punctures, financial difficulties, etc. _-x- _ ; If there is anyone in Forest City who can't afford a vacation they shouldn't let it worry them. Accord ing to some of the tales I have heard: from disillusioned vacationists, the fellow who stays at home is the lucky one. j -X- Still, if you insist on a vacation, j even though you haven't got the j money with which to take one, yon , can sit o n your hat, wrinkle your best suit of clothes, have some one throw dust on you and in your eyes, sleep on the floor, and work day and night. If you do these things I • can assure you that you will feel the . j same as the man who has been away j | for a rest. -x- Was talking to a fellow last week - ,! who told me that he took a long trip' in his car and came home tired but ] happy because he had truned a dark; brown color, due to the sun and j wind. He was as proud of his tan as * a kid is with a new top, but when! he got in the bath tub he noticed : his color fading away. It was just ■ dirt. The only thing that got any j color out of his trip was the water he bathed in. —X— You sure have to watch your step if you go to the city; there are plenty of crooks who resort to all kinds of i schemes to relieve you of your mon ey. One of Forest City's citizens went to the city on his vacation. He went in a hotel and asked for a room; the clerk tried to get him to sign his j name on a book of some kind. Being! wise to their slick tricks, he refused and can you imagine it, the clerk had the nerve to grin about it. The clerk soon found out that he couldn't j put anything over on this fellow j and allowed him to go to his room I in peace. j That *is just a small sample of | some of the dangers you run into in I the city, says this good man. —X— Another illustration of the disap pointments of vacationists can plainly be seen on the faces of the men who went to the beaches. They say the scenery is terrible since the girls started wearing those confounded pa jamas. And after reading so much in the papers about how scanty this years' bathing suits were, too. —X— A friend tells me that he recently crossed the state of Indiana and only had to go up two small hills. There were so many danger signs along tV road, warning motorists of these hills that he expected to see a huge mountain. He said that he would not have even noticed them if it hadn't been for the signs. I'd like to take some of those Hoosiers up on Chimney Rock". —X— A hungry person is interested in only one thing and that is something to eat. He don't care what it is, just so it will fill the empty space in his { stomach. I guess that is the reason | a certain fellow came home the oth [er day with a terrible case of old j faghioned stomach ache from eating | too much cheese and crackers. —X— Another young boy spent his va cation in a small town. He was loaf ing around one of their soda foun tains one day when he got so disgust ed he just couldn't hardly stand it any longer. Seeing one of the local boys on the street, he went over and asked him if anything exciting ever happened around there. "Sure," re plied the small town boy, "The train comes in twice a day and the moon comes up at night." —X— One little fellow visited his uncle out on the farm and while playing ! ar.o.unjd he happened to see an appl>' ' tree. The hoy was hungry, the apples' 1 were green. He had a pleasant time *j too. —X— -1 The fishing lure took a firm hold k on another vacationist and away - he went. He came back yesterday 3 raving like a mad man. When asked what the trouble was, he said that they served onlv fresh vegetables » where he was. Where can you get a BJcan to carry your bait in at a place like that? THE FOREST CITY ■N. C.) COURIER MAPLE GROVE DAIRY. . Messrs J. A. Wilkie and *R. V. j Bailey, who own and operate" the j "Maple Grove Dairy"* have just fin- j ished installing standard equipment to bring their dairy up to Grade A.! i They have built a new barn with cement floors, which has all proper drains and water works with which to wash the floors, etc. The milk houss is built entirely separate, a i bout twenty-five yards from the • barn.' The milk house has first the | boiler room, then the wash room where all bottles and everything used in the dairy are sterilized. The milk is taken to the pouring room where it is strained three times and also run through the cooling sys tem, which is the Cherry-Burrell ! Cooling system, and from there to ; the bottling room, j There is a steam room in which i all the bottles and other utensils j used are placed from one milking time to another, in this way keeping everything perfectly sanitary. Aft~'r the bottles are filled there is a large ■ ice room where the milk is placed : until delivered to your homes. There . is also a wash room in which all who ! are connected with the dairy work, ! wash and change their clothing i-.t | each milking time. There is also a \ storage room where their supply of bottles and other equipment are kept. The house is entirely screened and has cement floors with drainage that they can be thoroughly wash ed each day. They are now milking 19 Jersey cows and have room to increase their number to 24, which they will do this fall. They have in their pasture now 4 two year old heifers and also have 13 beautiful Jersey calves, ages ranging from two to four months. Messrs Wilkie and Bailey have been associated to gether in business since 1909. Besides the dairy they run the 130 acre farm and have one of the prettiest fields of cotton the writer has seen this year. They also have a' large field of corn peas and a splendid grass pas-, ture for the dairy cow to graze. ■ WILLIAM AYERS ENJOYING TRIP ABOARD SHIP Mr. William Ayers in a letter *to j his parents, Dr. and Mrs. W. A. j Ayers gives a glowing account of the J new ship "President Hoover" on which he is sailing around the world. The $8,000,000 liner largest ever constructed in an American shipyard will accommodate 1,260 passengers and has nine deck's, elevators, swim ming pool with a sand beach, soda fountains, stock exchange rooms a garage for 100 automobiles, a broad casting system and a talking picture theatre. He writes he is enjoying his position and is delighted with the wonderful opportunity of travel which he is having on this floating palace. HEARD OVER THE RADIO. One of the wonders of the age is the radio. And still more wonderful is this device when two or more sta- j tions are heard over the same wave I length. It is related of a man who I purchased a radio set, and when he j "tuned in" he heard at the same time three lectures, on the Bible, the condition of the roads and how to raise poultry. This is what he heard: The Old Testament tells us that baby chicks should detour one mile south of Salina and listen to the words of the prophet. Be careful in j the selection of your eggs and yoi l . will find hard surfaced roads on to Garden City. We find in Genesis that | the roads are muddy just west of the j henhouse and clean straw is essen-' I tial if you would save your soul. Af- j ter passing through Leavenworth, turn north to Jericho. Three wise j men bought a large-sized incubator j on account of a bad detour. The baDy i chicks are troubled with the pip and a bond issue is being talked of in the Holy City. Keep the feet dry and clean, live a life of righteousness ard turn one mile west of the school house, as much care is exericses in commanding the sun to stand still as there is a bad washout just south of Paola and the road to salvation is under repair, making it necessary for 70 degrees in the brooder house at all times. After you leave Win field. unless you do these things the wrath of the Lord will cause the pinfeathers to fall out and detour one mile south. Many are called back but few have any luck unless the ■ road between Topeka and Lawrence is mixed with the feed. Out of 500 : eges one should eet good Toads from i Coffeyville to Tulsa and 1 He com -1 manded Noah to build the ark just one mile west of Wichta. It rained, j.>: forty days and forty nights and an .'eight-mile detour. Just vve gt of the brooder house many tourists from the house of David are trying the Piyjmouth Rock Jmixed with concrete and a desire to do right. Amen. Walls Man Knifes Highwayman Mr. Rufus Carpenter of the Walls community, had an exciting exper ience Monday night, about 9:15 o'- clock, on the highway between El. lenboro and Forest City, when some unknown party tried to hold him up Mr. Carpenter was driving along a 1 a slow rate of speed, when some one, apparently in distress, hailef him. He slowed down, and a mar jumped on the running board anc ordered him to stick up his hands Mr. Carpenter had been eating £ PENDER'S West Main Street, Forest City, N. C. SWIFT'S JEWEL LARD 8 LB.
