This is an easy question but ; hard to answer. The man with ' | the sane mind had rather "bear! I the the ills we have than fly I jto others we know not of." i From what we rather in the 1 daily press, many people com mit suicide on account of most trivial causes; for example, a ! flapper commits suicide because jshe is not allowed to bob her I hair; another because she is j not allowed to roll her stock i ings; a man cuts his throat be cause he cannot start his car; or a lady shuffles off this mort jal coil prematurely because her 'canary dies. The most frequent cause of suicide, however, I throughout the world is poor health—not being in proper physical condition to stand the stress and strain of present day living. There is no doubr I but that an annual physical ex amination would prevent many suicides. We would thus find out in time many troubles that could be promptly checked by proper treatment.—Progressive Farmer. ' Advertising Lowers Costs j Newspaper advertising in America cost $235,000,000 last year, gain of $15,000,000 over the previous year. ' It has been argued that ad vertising is so much waste, so much added unnecessarily to the cost of the articles sold. In one sense, it is true; if the sales could be made without it, the price could be just that much less to the consumer. But the world buys only on in formation. It travels because it knows where to go, what it can see, how much it will cost. It builds new houses be [ cause it reads how other peo ple build and live and enjoy. It dresses in new fabrics be cause these come to its reading | eye. It is many times cheaper to get all this information by . reading than in any other man ner. The world would settle down into a jumble of ignorant , unkept, leave-me-alone provin . cial units, but for what it reads . in the advertising columns. $125,000,000 TO 1 TAME MISSISSIPPI This Amount Is Only One- 'I Seventh of What We Spend I'or Tobacco Each Year. | j Washington, May ll.—lt' tlie : Uni'oil States will, spend $125.- 1 f)OO.(MM) it can forever insuiv i the .Mississippi valley from a t repetition of this year's disast- c rous Hoods, according to the estimate of Major General Kd-j gar Jadwin, chief of army en gineers, who has made a sur- j ve.v of the vast flooded region. I Before you decide that thai sum is pretty high, consider for a minute what this year's flood has done. It has taken .'{so lives—aside from thos - now listed as "miss ing."' ( It has inundated some ! 1.- OOD square miles of rich agri- , cultural land. h has made more than 11)0.- 000 jieople homeless. It has caused property dam age utterly beyond computa tion. By the expenditure of $125,- 000,000 this country can make sure that nothing like this will ever happen again. Does that sum still seem large? Consider some of the other annual expenditures of this, the richest nation on earth. Military expenditures last year totaled $355,072,226. Naval expenditures were $312,743,410. For cigarettes, cigars and other forms of tobacco the i people of the United States la/t year spent $1,850,000,000 Of this, something like $750,- 000,000 went for cigarettes alone. Soft drinks and ice cream | were bought to the tune of $820,000,000. | The theatre and amusement bill was $934,000,000. I For candy the nation spent about $689,000,000. | Chewing gum cost the na tion $87,000,000. Thus, you can see that 7 peri cent of our annual tobacco bill or one-fourth of our combined army-navy bill would prevent such a great catastrophe as has engulfed the Mississipi; valley. I When you stop to think that all of those expenditures came, in one year, the $125,000,000 i; , would take to make the Missis-1 sippi floodproof seems even smaller. Major General Jadwin says , the only way to prevent disas trous floods is to build higher i and stronger levees, but that 1 the cost of the required levee work would be spread over ten years at a cost of between $lO,-1 000,000 and $15,000,000 a year. If all of these levees were built the cost of maintenance would probably run about $5,- 000,000 annual thereafter, ac cording to his figures. Inasmuch as the United States is now spending some $10,000,000 a year on llvxnl con trol, about half of which is used in the construction of Mississippi levees, the addition al cost of completing the levee system under Jadwin's plan would run between $25,000,000 to $50,000,000. Not so high—for a nation that can spend $75,000,000 a year for its cigarettes? Secretary of Commerce Hoov er, after touring the flood area, agreed with Jadwin that lev ees construction is the only HOME-COMING i ANI) DEDICATION; To Ik- Hold At Kinu Baptist I Church On Mu> 2i»—Program 1 Of Exercises.

Pr o grams have been projected which would cost up to $1,000,- 000.000. but these programs are unoflicial. One hundred and twenty-tivo million is a big sum—but not for this country. It is not a big sum when one 1 thinks of the 400,000 people that the tlood has made home i less. It is not large in compar i ison with the property damage that the tlood has cost. It is not large when you stop to , think that the death list of 350 will be found considerably larger.

Facts About Buses In North Carolina According to the recent re port of the State Corporation Commission for the biennium 1925-1926 there were on Aug. 14, 192G, ninety-seven passeng er bus line certificates out standing and under these cer tificates a total of 456 motor buses were being operated on approximately 4,500 miles o: [road. The length of the aver age line was 46.75 miles. The estimated total mileage j traveled by the passenger ■ buses during the year which 'ended June 30, 1926, is 11,350, j 040. The total revenue from passenger operations for the | period was $2,370,800, and the I tax rate paid on the basis of | six percent of gross revenue | amounted to $M2,250. From .these figures it appears that jthe average bus mile revenue i was 20.9 cents. Only a few of I the operators kept records j adequate to reveal operating I costs, so the profitableness of i the service can not be ascer :tained. | On August 14, 1926, seven teen express or freight certifi cates were outstanding and un der these there were being op , erated 83 trucks on 1,756 miles . | of road. From a rough estimate . says the report, it appears the tonnage carried by trucks operating under the law did not exceed 15,000 tons. Pack i ages weighing less than a hun ■ dred pounds and carried at ; package rates are not inc'ud t{ lin this tonnage. TJ.e total rev :i en lie of such carriers for the ■ fiscal year ended June 30, 19J6, I;was $122,559 and the tax paid • ; $7,353. * There are 33.0(51 trucks ope rated within the state, trans porting property either for ■their owners or under private j contract ai d the law t! »is not ? prevent these trucks fror. e\- . i ising pri\i.'fc.: f a " property carrier under the bus law, except that of advertising regular schedules and publish -4 ing tariffs. .)! f M.
