A Splendid View. The wisdom of this step became evident as soon as the building was erected and is becoming more clearly demonstrated as the plans for the grounds are being carried toward completion. From the terrace which affords a formal setting for the high school a splendid view may be had down the hill toward the athletic field.

The tobacco ' cannot be bought by the merchants of the towns where it is carried. Much as they would Jike to see it bring good prices they cannot buy it. Who really buys it? It is bought by representa tives of the big tobaccoo concerns of the world. These big concerns get men as buyers who are judges of to bacco and have had experience in handling it. Both the buyers and the big tobacco companies want tobacco and are ready to take it on any mark et when it is offered for sale. This, being the case why should one ware house or one tobacco market have any considerable advantage over an other warehouse or over another to bacco market? Will some one please tell us where any great advantage could come in? Tobacco is sold on its grade just like cotton, and the buyers pay for it according to its grade. Every farmer should try to have the highest grade tobacco possible." j must have caused the deed.

MAKING "HOME BREW" ILLEGAL Non-Intoxicating Fruit Juice May Be Manufactured Tax Free. Warning that the making of intox- jicating "home brew" is illegal was issued by Prohibition Commissioner Hayes. Numerous inquiries have been received recently, he said, con cerning the home manufacture of fruit juices growing out of reports that a head of the household was en titled to make 200 gallons of wine a year under permit. The prohibition unit's attitude on the home brew question was defined by Mr. Haynes as follows: I "Non-intoxicating fruit juice can UC UiaUC 111 L11C UUUiC JL 11 UVJAlU Uill fc, wine, home brew and distilled spirits may not be made.

The Wilmington negro was com pletely taken in by the trick, expend ing all of the cash he had on his per son, telegraphing to Oxford for $83 and to Wilmington for $250. He received funds from both sources, but the Wilmington remittance ar rived after the banks had closed and &o was saved. The pocketbook which was picked up by one of the trio while another was engaging the victim in conversa tion contained $2,000 in bogus bills of large denomination and the visit ing negro's scruples vanished in the presence of so much "money."

The following from Herman Rosen field, advertising manager for Sears Roebuck & Company, is a sufficient explanation: "We have a bureau whose duty it is to read each week the country newspapers from all over the coun try. There; is not a paper of any consequence in our trade territory that our bureau does not get. This bureau looks over these papers and when we find a town where the merchants are not advertising in the local paper we immediately flood that territory with our literature. It always brings results far m excess of the same effort put forth in terri tory where the local merchants use their local papers." MR.
