Jt is a list to de t ermine whether or not you are well read.

If you want -to purchase anything of merit, you've got to pay the price for it. That' statement is true, regardless to what you apply it. A house that rents for $50 a month is ; a better house than one which you can lease f on $20. A suit for which you pay $50 will give you better service than one that you can buy "for $15. A pieQe of property worth $1000 is more valuable than another section" that is worth only , $500. ' And the same is true-of men. If t you . have a vacancy in your business and you hire a man for $25 " a- week, you expect him to give a certain standard of service in exchange. If you, pay $50 a week, you expect him to be of much higher calibre. Especially is this true of men whom towns employ as secretaries of Chambers of Commerce;; p-. :- v ' There 'is a certain community in North Carolina no need to mention names which contains a progressive citizenship. The business men meet and decide to employ a Chamber of Commerce secre tary. They heard of two men; one who asks for a . salary of $125 a month and ,. another vho demanded $25$. They hired the former. They fired, him four months .. - later. ' . ' '. . Whereupon they employed another man, whom they also secured at a very nominal salary. He lasted only about the ' same length of time. - .' That town "s doing itself an injustice,, . it is doing an injustice to the men it em ploys and it is,. doing an injustice to. Chamber of Commerce wrdk as. a whole. There are other towns that probably have gone, through the same experience. .They are learning their lesson, but it is . proving an expensive and discouraging ' one: - -. -. - If you want anything good you've got ' to pay the price. You-can't expect to get something for nothing. . - . WITH OTHER EDITORS Give a Days Work to Orphans Thanksgiving day comes on Thurs day of this -week, and if we follow the suggestion of President Harding and Governor Morrison we will make it a day of thankgtving and appre- t,auu" gooaness and such a year of health and happiness as we iiiaj nave eujoyea. certainly we should not forget the spirit of the Pilgrim Fathers who gave to Amer ica tne nrst! Thanksgiving day. It has usually been associated in the minds, minions onus as a day of gluttony and feasting on turkey and then may be a football game. With, others it has been the' day of the biggest' hunt of the fall season an dnone Of these are to be criticised even to that of the housewife's having a special din ner, that day, nevertheless we should not be unmindful of the benefits and privileges whieh have ; been ours in turn give thanks for them. in North Carolina we have hit up on the happy idea of not alone mak ing it a day of Thanksgiving but there is afforded an opportunity of a com forting self-sacrificing occasion in the appeal which has been made in be half of all orphanages in our State namely that on Thanksgiving Day you mignt share, with them the earnings of one day. The sum froin. any one individual is not large yet in .the ag gregate it amounts, to much for the great cause of the -comfort; health and support of the father and moth erless ones who are being cared for by some church society or ; fraternity, Certainly if you might enjoy a real Thanksgiving season, one of greatest conscious satisfactions of a real ob servance you -will embrace this op portunity and use one days pay in a furtherance of the happiness of those less ' fortunate ' than , yourself." It doesn't matter as to the orphanage' let that .be the che Of your choice. Rocky Mouni Telegram. , r v. , . 1 It must Not Fail . . ' The Community Chest is too sound a proposition in community finance to be rejected by the peojple of Ashe 'ville. . . - . ; It is agreed that the organizations through which the .funds are expend ed are doing a necessary "and uplift ing wrok. It is conceded that these causes should be supported by the people. There is no question of the business methods by -which the funds are raised and .administered.
