IS there no home pride in our towns when so *many of our merchants and business men, place their advertisements in an out*of-town paper, and thus encourage an organ in another State that never had any heart interest in North Carolina or Rockingham County. A blind man should be able-to see that this policy in assisting a paper published in another State and launched primarily by competing mer chants will shortly spell ruin to our local stores. There is in this proposition a very vital principle. Once the habit is established of going out of'town to do our shopping, the movement will gain momentum the older the habit grows, and bankruptcy is as sure to follow our mer chants as day follows night. In one day alone and in one single out-of town store, Leaksville people made purchases amunting to $1,200. It was a gent’s furnishing store at that and the blame can not be placed on our women, Does an out-of-town State newspaper help to pay for local public improvements? Does out-offcounty merchants contribute anything to the support of our schools, churches, street paving, good roads or anything else that adds to our community prosperity? There must be a right-about face in this matter. Merchants who have their money in vested in stocks of goods, store buildings and other property, must take the first steps to de velops home pride in patronizing your local daily newspaper and trading at home. Mer chants must besfrir themselves and stop the flow of business across die, State line. on “Your SUPPOSED STUDIO COPY PROVES TO BE A TITIAN EXPERIMENTAL WORK (By Associated Press) London, Jan. 29.—Titian's paint ing “Venns and Adonis” in the Na tional Gallery here has been con sidered to be only a studio repetition of one at Madrid, but in the course of renovating operations the dis covry has been made that the paint ing, is a first experimental version of the subject by the master himself.

The reporter was entertained by Ghandi’s wife and sons, and recounts his experience in the columns of the Voice of India. After giving a colorful picture of the Ghandi home and its surround ings, Mr. Pearson writes: “After we adjourned to Ghandi’s room, I sat under his picture, talking with his two sonB and his secretary. Ramedag, the elder son, had just re turned from South Africa. The young er son, Devadas, and Desai, the secre tary, had been released from prison sentences of nine months and one year, respectively. “I . asked if Mr. Ghandi desired India’s complete separation from the British Empire. “No,” replied De vadas, “he wishes only the self government enjoyed by Australia and New Zealand. He says that if the English become Indianized, we can accommodate them. If they wish to1 remain in India along with their own civilization, we have no room for them. “My father thinks that English voters make their newspaper their Bible. Their views swing like a pen dulum, following the man who is a powerful orator or who gives many reception. He believes that if India copies England she will be ruined.” “Ihe-English are too commercial,” broke in Ramedas. “Father used to quote Napoleon, who called them a nation of shop-keepers. He was fond of the story told of the late President Kruger, who, when asked if there was any gold in the moon, replied it was extremenly unlikely because, if true, the English already would have annexed it.

STATE WOfcLD STEM RUSH OF GERMANS TO LEAVE COUNTRY (By Associated Press) Hamburg, Jan. 29.—Canada, South America and Russia are the three countries toward which prospective German emigrants are turning their eyes since the IThited States quota became exhausted. Emigration to Russia is not en couraged. A few German scouts are going to that country to look over the situation with a view to locating colonies of farmers, especially' in Siberia, but the average German peasant has little enthusiasm for the movement. Many Germans who were colonized in Russia before the warhave returned home and told of tfie'way they*wsbeAeitgfrwfcsii 'tinils" land was taken an<f""their cropk Con fiscated. The newspapers have pub lished this information, and it has dampened the enthusiasm for life under a Communist regime. The government maintains a spe cial office to deal with those who would leave the country. It is pre sided over by widely traveled officials who can give advice about all parts of the world. These men are so brutally frank in their statements about countries toward which vision ary emigrants wish to go that the office has been nicknamed, the "State Warning Office.” They warned phy sicians not to go to the United Sates without some money and without good friends to assist them until they could establish themselves.

(By Associated Press) Stuttgart, Jan. 28. — Germany’s piano industry has been thrown all out of harmony by the npset condi tions prevailing in the country. The output is only about half of what it used to be, chiefly it is claimed, be cause of a lack of conscientious work men. There are plenty of craftsmen to be had, it seems, but since the war there has been a dearth of flood piano makers who think more of their work than the financial rewards. To make perfect pianos, it is asserted by manu' facturing firms, the workmen must be conscientious and absolutely in love with their task. Concentration is also an essential, it is explained, and but few of the puiano makers who went to the front and for months or years led sort of a roving, miss and hit existence, have ever been quite the same since they came back. About half of the German made pianos are exported, these going chiefly to Holland, England, Japan, Chile and other South American countries. Comparatively few arc sent to the United States owing to a high protective tariff. The principal buyers of pianos in Germany, since the paper mark started its downward course, have been the peasants who took this means of obtaining a long desired permanent household ornsf ment with some 0f the currency which was so rapidly losing_its value. Various individuals have taken a “flyer” in pianos at times when they had a lot of paper marks on hand with the idea of realizing at some future date when, they hope, they might be able to dispose of the instru ments upon a gold basis.
