As a cover for nakedness, the one-piece bathing suit
plays an inconspicuous part, and an an insignia of modesty
it has no title whatsoever.
Headline: 'Carrying free passengers aviator sets hih
record."--Indeed, we arc glad not to have been numbered
among the passengers.
Ah! We see Wall Street is, as usual, more Interested in
who is to be the next Secretary of the Treasury than
who is to be the President.
JosephuH seems to have left very little for the imagi
nation in his reply before the Senate Investigating Com
mittee to the Sims' charges.
The Free Press neglected to interview any of the he
roes of the battle of March 8, lbfiii who gathered here Mon
day, as to whether the Norfolk-Southern passenger sta
tion was then standing.
The California "wife murderer" who admits that he
killed nine of his wives, was given a life sentence in the
penitentiary. In about two years he will probably bv
seeking pardon whereupon had he only killed one woman,
the chances are that he would have been electrocuted.
QI OD BENE NOTANDLM.
Those who venture to criticise modern Ktyles and de
precate the vulgar tendencies of the times arc more than
apt to subject themselves to the charge of prudery and
of licing classified as old fogy, but isn't it well sometimes
to ask the question, "Where are we going?" and "Where
lire we going to stop in the exciting race of exposure?"
The Free Press pleads guilty to neither charge, nor is' it
willing to admit that it is easily shocked It has been
about quite considerably and seen much.
Perhaps we have gone to the extreme in modesty in the
past and wandered too far from Mother Nature's raiment.
At least there may be room for argument on that score.
But now certainly the pendulum seems to be "hitting it
back" at a rapid clip, and we find ourselves frequently
meditating upon the question "How far?"
The Free Press deplores the apparent indifference and
thoughtlessness of mothers who permit their sweet, young
(laughters to don bathing apparel and parade in public
which would actually subject them to arrest by officers
of the law, were the to appear in such garb, or rather
so garbles.-, upon the beaches of most of the prominent
and fashionable summer resorts where fashion's eccentri
cities run riot.
Surely God's creative masterpiece is the girlish girl,
weet, attractive and modest. But the one-piece, ab
breviated bathing costume, unaccompanied by any vestige
of hosiery is in no sense conducive to the last named at
tribute.

PERPETUATING MEMORIES,
Momlay was a memorable occasion in the annals of
Unoir County and North Carolina. The erection of the
marker perpetuating the memory of the illustrious part
played by the heroes of this great commonwealth in the
War Between the States, is an event that should and will
brinit pride to the hearts of every loyal son nnd daughter.
The immortal deeds of the Confederate soldiers have
not been emblazoned on the scroll of time as befits the
unequalled courage and bravery which characterized them. J Greensboro News speaks out in behalf of the Chau-

RIGHT WILL PREVAIL.
America's part in the great world strife was not one of
party or faction, but the great achievements of that pe
riod from April, 1UI7 to November, 1918, were wrought
y a united people.
It is indeed unfortunate that the important work of fol-
owing up and clinching the victory has devolved itself
into a sordid partisan controversy. While The Free Press
has consistently endorsed President Wilson's course in in
sisting upon either ratification or out and out rejection
of the treaty and the covenant of the League of Nations,
it regrets, as must the President and all good citizens,
that the isue must be made a party one and thrown into
the campaign thiH year. Far better would it have been,
f the American people ns a whole had been called upon
to pass upon the issue before it became beclouded and
bemuddled nnd besmirched with rank and bitter par-
tisanship.
The Free Press has faith, however, that the American
people are going to right tho situation and redeem the
fair name of this country. Her honor is not going to be
lragged in the dust and mire of selfish partisanship. The
opportunity, presented to this country as to no other in
all history to play the part of "big brother" and lead
in the reconstruction of the world upon the basic prin
ciples of right and justice to all mankind is not going to
be perpetually ignored.

Cola
Only 6c.
THE Chero-Cola Company enjoys the unique position of be
ing the only soft drink syrup manufacturer in America operat
ing its own full process "bone-char" sugar refinery, which pro
cess is that universally employed in producing the highest
grade of granulated sugar. .
High grade soft drinks require refined sugar equal to the
best manufactured by the largest American refineries, all of
which use the "bone-char" process.
This refinery has enabled the Chero-Cola Company to manu
facture Chero-Cola syrup when other less fortunates could noi
secure sugar anywhere at any price.
Buying, as we do, what the trade terms "Cuban-Raws," we do
not compete with the housewife in her purchases for the fam
ily sugar-bowl. Our contracts for raw sugar made last year,
at a figure far below the present market price, have permitted
us to furnish Chero-Cola Bottlers with syrup at a price which
has enabled you to buy Chero-Cola at 5c a bottle.
The constantly increasing demand for Chero-Cola syrup has
largely exhausted the low-priced sugar bought last year, and
new contracts are made at a much higher price.
This fact, coupled with other increasing costs, has caused an
advance on our syrup to our Bottlers, who in turn have advanc
ed Chero-Cola to the dealer, and he sells it to you at an advance
of only ONE CENT a bottle.
The success of Chero-Cola is largely ascribed to its unfailing
uniformity. That this uniformity of flavor and quality be main
tained, it is necessary to advance the price to 6c. We will not
sacrifice quality nor reduce the quantity.
We feel that our millions of friends will appreciate that we
have held the price of soft drinks down to five cents until the
rising tide of cost made it impossible and promise that when it
is possible, Chero-Cola will be among the first to return to the
old price.
