' . The butting into the scrap by the
Japs has, it would seem, made very

not been accomplished as readily is
it was thought it could be done.
Welcome to the members of the va
rious Universalist .Churches of the
State, who assemble in Kinston today
for a four days' annual convention.
The local congregation, led by their
pastor, Rev. W. 0. Bodell, has made
all preparations to receive and enter
tain the visiting brethren and the
home of the local members will be
thrown open to the reception of the
visitors. The new church building, re
cently completed in this city, will bt
the place of meeting. Several repre
sentatives of the church at la'gj will
be present and take part In the delib
erations. The local committee antici
pates the most largely attended and
important of all the state gatherings
of the church. The Free Tress ex
tends the best wishes of the people of
Kinston for a pleasant and profitable
sojourn in our city.
You never know what a day will
bring forth. Villa is occupying the
head lines on the front page today.
He has announced his well, we won't
venture the serial number, but they
are numerous periodical revolt. The
latest move of the rebel fighter takes
on a more serious aspect than those
that have gone before, and it begins
to look as though Mexico's peace is to
be interrupted again. The action of
Villa may have some effect on the
withdrawal of troops from Vera Cruz
for the administration may deem it
necessary to sit on the lid awhile
longer. Hotter hold what wc hnve
than to bo forri'ti to again occupy one
of the ports with the attendant loss
of life of the last occupancy.
CLEAN I P
PREMISES
Fire Chief Moscley urges every
body in Kinston to see to it that their
premises are kept free from trash
and inflammable accumulation as a
fire preventive. He further urges that
all flues and heatingi apparatus be
overhauled or examined before the
fall fires are begun. The fire depart
ment has the authority to insist upon
clean premises, but it is not practi
cal for the volunteers, who make up
the city's fire fighting forces, to per
sonally inspect all premises in the
city, and further, it is not thought
necessary to do so, for it is believed
that the citizens will co-operate to
the extent of doing all in their pow
er to prevent the occurrence of fires.
Kinston'a fire record is very favor
able as compared with cities of the
same site, and it is due largely to the
tact that ita cithens have been
careful and have taken the necessary
precaution. Let this continue to be
done not only for self-protection, but
for the protection of the entire com
munity's property interests.
ADVERTISING
WHEN AND WHERE
Successful merchants and advertis
ers throughout the country, who have
by continual advertising and meri
torious business dealings built up en-
ijrmojs tales, agree that advertising
is not a "seasonable delicacy" to be
enjoyed a few busy months of the
year, but a "constant necessity" to be
used regularly, day in and day out,
They agree, too, that the daily news
paper is htc one best bet of all the
advertising mediums afforded, not
that there is not some merit in most
any kind of advertising, but the news
paper and about ninety per cent, by
actual poll of the big department and
retail stores of America pin their
faith to the afternoon paper as the
medium of most results makes pos
sible the employment of that "ever
lastingly-at-it" principle which is the
secret of advertising's power. It is
the constant drip on the rock that in
time wears it away; not a few spas
modic overflows, for they have little
or no effect. Newspaper advertising
s the cheapest, for more people can
be reached by a single ad. in the daily
newspaper than can be reached by
several times the amount of postage
expended on circular letters. The
newspaper advertisement not only
carries the influence of the advertis
er's business reputation, but the pest
ige of the paper a powerful consid
eration. Every merchant knows, or
should know, the value of a well ad
vertised brand of goods.and he knows

merchants of the town recognized the
value of the effort, and contributed
their part by backing up the paper
