The liquor interests employ able counsel and rarely does
a case of any prominence come before, the bar that there
is not an array of strong legal talent. Every technicality
is taken advantage of and. every opportunity to appeal to
prejudice, taste and individual leanings of the juries is
made. It's not always an- easy matter for the State a
attorney to successfully combat these Influences, but they
deserve commendation when they do, although they are
but fulfilling their sworn duty.
TRAFFIC SIGNALS NEEDED.
Observance of the traffic laiws in Kinsfton would be
greatly advanced, Tho Free Press believes, if there were
more signs employed. Many of the traffic regulations,
perhaps, are not known to the average person, particular
ly to visitors. A sign indicating parking space and the
time limit would certainly be of benefit in reminding the
pu '.die and getting its cooperation.
On January 1st the city council adopted an ordinance
requiring motor dween vehicles going west to stop at
the Heritage intersection of Peyton, Lenoir and. Vernon
Avenues. So far as The Free Press knows, this ordinance
has not been observed by anybody. In fact,-the attention
of the public is really just being called to its enactment.
By all means, signs should be p'aced at the three inter
sections calling the attention of the public to the ruling
that there must be a full stop.
This practice is used in other cities and such signs as
, "No parking. Police Order," .''One-way street, Police
Order," "Come .to a full stop, Police Order," "Parking
limit ten minutes, Police Order," and other such guides
are familiar sights on the stronts and at intersections.
Kinston would do well to get in lne with this plan.
GO TO CIIl'RCH SUNDAY EVENING. ,
The 'FreerPrs gladly -endorses th campaign of the
Kinston pastors in their effort to encourage church at
tendance. ." The preachers are directing their attention,
particularly at the present time, to the Sunday evening
services. They have caused to be put in the home of every
white family in town an invitation to attend th9 church
of choice on Sunday evenings.
Kinston is not a church-going community. That is, a
majority of her people are not regular attendants at
church eervices. Dr, Abram E. Cory, pastor of the Chris
tian Church, in his sermon last Sunday, submitted statis
tics to show that the auditorium space of the white
churches in Kinston would not seat fifty per cent, of the
people if they al) elected to attend church at the same
time, and it' a well-known fact that the seating capacity
of the churches, is rarely, if ever, taxed to its utmost.
In fact, on the contrary, the nverago congregation in
Kinston will occupy not mure than fifty to 75 per cent,
of the aVailable seats. With these facts, it is not diffi
cult to substantiate the charge that Kinston is not a
church-going community.
Kinston pastors deserve ther commendation of the good
people and their cordial support in their efforts to arouse
a greater interest in church worship. The Free Press
hopes that there will be gret response in the cam
paign and that many' will ocqu're the habit of regular
attendance. W say "habit because church-going is
very largely a matter of habit, snd it's a good habit to
form. ' Why not adopt the slogan, "Let's ill tho church
es?" -.- - ' -.
WAY OPEN FOR COMMUNITY PLAY.
Community recreation and the opportunity for syste
matic community play under wholesome and uplifting con
ditions is unquestionably one of the outstanding needs of
Kinston, if indeed it isn't the most outstanding one. Pub
lic spirited citizen of Kinston who have had the interest
of the community deeply at heart, have realized for years
that the failure to provide such facilities has been a
shortcoming that has been detrimental to the proper de
velopment of the young people. There have been a number
of spasmodic efforts made to get some organised work
started, and some success has accompanied these efforts.
Certainly, sentrment has. been strengthened by thum.

was a response which gave assurance or tne necessary
support to inaugurate the work. Fifteen public spirited
citizens agreed to share the expense of an expert or
ganizer's visit here and Mr. E. V. Graves, an organizer
and athletic director, has come to spend two months in
the community to get things started. Mr. Graves' mis
sion here is to organize a community service work with
a full-time director, who will have charge of Kinston's
play and recreational life.
As on the occasion of Mr. Kluttz' visit, The Free Press
believes that this is a splendid opportunity for senti
ment to crystallize, and inaugurate a work which will
really be worth while and which will filla community
necessity of long standing.
Mr. Graves will hold a conference with the citizens who
invited him to come here on Tueday evening at which
time plans will be laid for beginning the work in earnest.
The Free Press bespeaks for him and for the citizens
who. are supporting him, the cordial cooperation and sup
port of every public spirited citizen in the community
who has its welfare at heart.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ROBESON1AN.
The Lumberton Robesonian, edited by J. A. Sharpe, re
cently issued a county development edition, containing
64 pages of interesting reading and advertising matter,
setting forth most graphically the progress and possibili
ty of the splendid county of Robeson.
In calling' attention to its effort the Robesonian says
that "it has made a modest attempt to tell something of
the progress Robeson County is mukinir alone various
lines, notably in education, road-bu'Iding, farm and
home demonstration and healt work." The story as told,
is indeed an Interesting one.' Robeson County is one of
the great units of the State and is keeping abreast of the
progress that Is being made by the commonwealth as a
whole, and Is contributing thereto in most substantial
way.
The Free Press extends congratulations to Editor
Sharpe and his staff not only because they tell the story
of their community so well, but because they have the
facts back of them.

Hi-
How to Insure Sales For Your
Product!
The chief asset of any business is the demand for its
product. As long as that demand continues, the busi
ness is on a sure foundation. But let that demand sub
side, and every other asset of the business is in danger
of becoming a liability

A Growing Need.
Martins Ferry Time: "'Everybody should, learn to
drive an automobile.' This is especially true of those
who now sit behind the steering wheel."
State Should Certainly Line l'p.
Catawba County News: "It is unthinkable that North
Carolina whkb lid the other states by ten or twelve years
should be among those states which hesitate to make the
state law as strong for prohibition as the Congress of
the United States.
"But still we have men in the legislature who are op
posed to doing now what California, one of ths wettest
tales in the Union has done that is. make the state
laws conform to" the Federal laws in the matter of law
nfoivement. '
World Sorely Needs Principle of Christianity.
Charlotte New: "Not long ago the authorities of Ia-
iilson College, stressing the fact that there is not a pro
fessor in that institution who is in the least equivocal on
these tremendous issues, reported that an investigation
had been made of the beliefs of leading professors in a
large number of the greater universities of the country
nd it was found, from this survey that onlv about half
of those teaching certain branches, principally biology
and such kindred scientific subjects, even believed in the
reation of the World. And as for the. more commonly
accepted tenets of the Christian faith, they scoffed and
eercd and hooted.
What one would do for one's civilisation, one should
o for the child in keeping it away from that sort of stuff.
Is it any wpnder that in eminent pulpits of the coun
try and from other influential sources are coming counsel
and preaching these days that are distinctly heretical and
that the gospel of contradiction and protest, under the
guise of intellcctualism is being given wide voice. The
fruit of the teaching jn many universities are being
gathered. '
"This further, Dr. John R. Mott said the other night in
the course of his lecture here that at this hour the world
outlook was never blacker nor the insistence for the right
leadership more unanswerable. He fell back, he said, as
upon a last house in tho Christianity educated leadership
of America, to which also the world is looking in th?
midst of its present-day distresses, a leadership that will
be daring and audacious enough to put the principles and
kleals of the Christian religion into action in our social
problems, in our transactions of the streets, in our inter
course in commerce, in trade and business and politics
and industry and statesmanship and government" i C"""
u
In times of prosperity anH a ris
ing market there is a general
""demand for the products of in
dustry that comes to be accept
ed as a matter of course. It is
seldom listed among the assets
of the business it is simply as
sumed that it will always be
there.
But, overnight, conditions may
change- as they have done be
fore and the matter-of-course
demand becomes conspicuous
' by its absence. The business,
once strong and flourishing, is
suddenly found to be in a very
tight place. The demand had
not been insured and yet the
entire business depended upon
its continuance.
The odern, economical way to
insure the market for any reli
able product is by Advertising .
to the public which consumes it.
Advertising creates a steadily
increasing number of customers
who desire the product, and ask
for it by name.
Changes in business conditions
have little effect on a steady
consumer demand for trade
marked articles of common use.
The dealer may carry a lighter
stock, and for a short time the
demand through the jobber
may seem curtailed; but just as
sure as customers are calling on
the dealer for the product, he is
sure to supply it, and orders
soon begin to flow in to make up
for the temporary curtailment.
The total consumption contin
ues about the same.
Any manufacturer who has an
article for popular consumption
that can be trade-marked has
the opportunity to insure his
consumer market' and retail
sales by means of Advertising.
During the present business
condition the manufacturers
who have insured their demand
by Advertising are in a far bet
ter position in every way
than those who have trusted to
the current demand that was
not of their, creating.
